Chapter 572: Beating the Heat!
Ye Muyu exclaimed in pain, rubbing her head. She felt a bit aggrieved, "I want to get off the carriage. It's too narrow in here, and I keep bumping into things."
"It's because you're moving around." Although Chu Heng felt sorry for her, he pulled her into his arms and gently blew on the spot where she had bumped her head but he didn't forget to scold her.
Ye Muyu retorted, "But it was you who started it. My face is almost swollen from your pinching. You didn't have this bad habit before."
"Alright, if you don't want me to pinch you, then I'll 'cajole' you." Chu Heng was amused by her nimble tongue and deliberately leaned in close to her ear to tease her.
Sure enough, Ye Muyu was frightened and dared not move, hastily saying, "You can, you can..."
"Okay, that's enough. Get off the carriage now. There are still children inside." Chu Heng chuckled and ended the playful banter.
Blushing, Ye Muyu lowered her head, thinking to herself that he was aware of the children inside after all. She scolded him playfully, feeling embarrassed and regretful for her earlier words. She almost lost face in front of the children.
Finally, with a flushed face, Ye Muyu got off the carriage.
Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo had just woken up and yawned as they got off the carriage.
They were already accustomed to their parents displays of affection.
"Madam, are you feeling hot? Your face looks flushed." Hu Shi said anxiously. "Master Xing from the Fifth House came by this afternoon and brought a watermelon. I've already put it in the well to cool down. Would you like to have some to beat the heat?"
"Alright." Ye Muyu nodded decisively, lifting her head and trying to maintain her composure as if nothing had happened.
Chu Heng interjected, "Don't give her too much."
"Eating too much cold food isn't good for the body."
"I understand." Ye Muyu bit her lip and hummed softly in her heart. This man was definitely doing it on purpose. She didn't really want to eat watermelon, but she knew that if she kept talking, she would end up losing.
Seeing her obedient, Chu Heng felt relieved.
He walked to the study and called for Luchuan.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shu and Zhang Cong carried the jars from the carriage.
Hu Shi went into the kitchen to cut the watermelon.
Ye Muyu and the two children sat in the living room to eat watermelon.
After a while, Ye Muyu didn't wait for Chu Heng to come out.
Having eaten a small piece of watermelon, Ye Muyu decided not to eat more. Although she was a little tempted, she refrained for the sake of her health.
"It's so delicious, mother. Can I go find Uncle Xing later?" Chu Jin ate a big piece and remembered who brought the watermelon. He knew this was a rare treat in the village. If he got along well with Uncle Xing, he could have whatever he wanted in the future.
Ye Muyu pinched his chubby cheek. "What do you want to find Uncle Xing for? Tell the truth and then I'll consider letting you go."
"But what if I don't tell the truth?" Chu Jin poked his finger.
"Then you won't be allowed to go."
"I'll tell the truth, mother. I want to go see where Uncle Xing went this time and listen to his stories. They're so interesting." Chu Jin glanced at Ye Muyu and saw that she didn't respond. He quickly patted his chest and said, "Mother, I'll finish today's homework as soon as I get back. I won't be lazy, okay?"
"Does Sister Ziluo want to go?" Ye Muyu turned her head and asked.
Seeing that his sister really wanted to go, Chu Jin nodded along. "Mother, Sister Ziluo wants to go too. I'll take care of my sister."
"Then go ahead." Ye Muyu rubbed their heads.
Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo quickly left.
Ye Muyu got up, cleaned up the watermelon rinds from the table, and wiped the table clean.
