PWDLAW Chapter 525: Pressuring Her
Chapter 525: Pressuring Her
Ye Muyu's heart skipped a beat, she lowered her gaze and pursed her lips in rebuttal "I'm not a child, I'm already a mother."
"In my heart, you're still a child." Chu Heng's tone was firm, speaking from the heart and his gaze remained on Ye Muyu.
He wanted to hug her but he was afraid of scaring her. Especially now, he had to pressure her to admit her true feelings.
Ye Muyu fell silent and slowly finished the bowl of ginger soup. Perhaps due to the cold, she had completely lost her appetite. She pushed away the bowl Chu Heng was holding and said softly, "I don't want to have lunch. I just want to rest for a while."
Chu Heng frowned, "No, you have to eat something. Otherwise, how will you have the energy to recover?"
"I've asked Hu Shi to make some dumpling soup that you used to like. This time, we were lucky to get some seafood, including something called seaweed, which the merchant said could be boiled like kelp and tastes similar."
"Don't worry, I won't add much oil, just two or three drops." Chu Heng guessed that Ye Muyu probably had no appetite, as is common for someone who caught a cold. He didn't find it strange and instead tried to make her feel more comfortable.
"No need..." Ye Muyu didn't finish her refusal when Chu Heng directly covered her mouth with his hand, his eyes filled with disapproval. "No, Ah Yu you have to listen to me. Otherwise, how will you face your brother tomorrow?"
Ye Muyu's throat went dry as she looked at him busying himself, unable to help but wonder, Do you really want to divorce me?
But she couldn't bring herself to ask. She, who had always been sensible, couldn't take that step in her heart. How could she make things difficult for Chu Heng?
Lowering her eyes again, she said, "I understand. I'll eat properly. Tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow, when I see my brother, I'll bring up the topic of divorce."
Chu Heng's hand holding the bowl of ginger soup trembled slightly, almost spilling it but he managed to control himself at the last moment, not saying something like he would never let her leave.
"I'll go get your lunch." Chu Heng fled in a panic, his footsteps staggering as he walked out of the room, nearly stumbling.
Ye Muyu didn't notice because she didn't dare to look at him.
Once she was sure there was only one person left in the room, she slumped against the head of the bed, tugging at the clothes in front of her, trying hard to restrain the reluctance in her heart.
She kept repeating to herself in her mind that if Chu Heng wanted a divorce, it might be because he had met someone he liked. She couldn't delay him nor did she have the right to.
He had been kind to her, and she had to repay him.
Now the only thing she could do for him was to agree to his request for a divorce, even if she felt reluctant, she had to agree.
She believed that in the future, when they were far apart, she would definitely dig him out from the bottom of her heart and return to the way things were before, living a peaceful life. So she could endure all the sudden feelings of reluctance, grievance, and sadness that came up, and she had to endure them, even without Chu Heng noticing.
It's just that for the two children...
Ye Muyu suddenly got up and took out a wooden box containing the saved silver from the wardrobe.
Inside were all the silver she had earned these days.
The over a thousand taels Chu Heng had given her as well as the deeds were all put into a small box by her separately, and this money box was put into Chu Heng's wardrobe by her.
The remaining silver, which was a hundred and ten taels from the sale of the Zhuge Suo by Xiao Jin, was put into a small purse separately by Ye Muyu. She didn't have much silver left herself, only about a hundred taels, all of which came from selling honey pomelo tea and collecting from the bookstore.
Coincidentally, the two children each had a hundred taels.
