In the next second, she was extremely close to Chu Heng, and the unique scent of a man lingered around her nose.

“Wait a minute.” Ye Muyu reached out and touched his ears. She looked at the man’s reddened ears. She was finally able to turn it around. She smiled happily. “Ah Heng, you’re feeling shy.”

Chu Heng coughed lightly. His throat was a little hoarse. He reached out to grab her hand. “Stop fooling around.”

“You were the one who started it.” Ye Muyu smiled. “So you’ll get shy too. I really couldn’t tell.”

The man’s eyes were deep and dark as he reached out to touch her ear.

Chu Heng looked at her blushing cheeks, trembling eyelashes, and moist eyes. How could he hold it in?

Chu Heng’s rationality was shaken. Just as he had said before, he kissed her everywhere.

It was as if he had been holding it back for years.

Ye Muyu held back her lips, not letting out a single sound.

Her cheeks were flushed red and her body was covered in sweat.

It was the most satisfying time for Chu Heng.

Early in the morning, Chu Heng got up and went to boil some hot water. Before dawn, he carried Ye Muyu to the bathtub to wash up. Then, he carried her back.

He placed her on the bed and looked at her pink and tender face. Chu Heng’s eyes were filled with tenderness as he leaned over and kissed her.

Then, he turned around and went to wash up.

The sky slowly brightened.

Chu Heng did not go out in the morning. Instead, he stayed at home and went to the house near the fruit forest. He found Han Zhuang, Lu Chuan, and the others and began to set up the table and plates needed for the banquet.

Today, they had invited the rich and powerful squires, county magistrates, and students.

There were relatively few people, but they were also the most calculative.

The Chu family’s courtyard was not big, but it could accommodate eight tables.

That was the estimated number of wealthy squires who would come.

Chu Heng found someone to buy a screen and placed it in the middle to separate the seats for men and women.

The screen was made of the thinnest type of landscape screen, so it would not seem crowded after it was placed inside.

In order to add to the scenery, some flowers were hung on the walls, which looked unique.

Other than tables, chairs, benches, and screens, there were no other unnecessary items in the courtyard. It looked clean and tidy.

“Father, where’s Mother?” Chu Ziluo came out from the west wing and saw the screen in the courtyard. She ran over to look at it for a while. After a while, she got bored and instinctively looked for her mother. However, she realized that her mother was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Heng was in the middle of giving Lu Chuan instructions. When he heard this, he said, “Your mother is resting. She made all these preparations late last night. She has to entertain guests later. Don’t wake her up. Let your mother sleep a little longer.”

” Oh, Father, I understand. Brother is also on holiday today. I’ll bring him along and not let him run around.”

With his daughter taking care of his son, he did not have to trouble his wife. Chu Heng was very satisfied and gave his daughter affirmation. “Alright, then I’ll leave Lil’ Jin to Ziluo.”

“Father, don’t worry. I will definitely watch over my brother and not let him run around.”

“Yes.” Chu Heng nodded.

Chu Ziluo went to wake Chu Jin up.

As for Xiang Ling’er, she would help boil water and add firewood in the kitchen early in the morning. As long as she was capable, she would help.

Madam Hu saw that her hands and feet were agile, and the smile on her face was particularly sincere. However, she also advised: “Young Lady, you don’t have to be busy. The master has already arranged for us to do the work in the kitchen.”

“For today’s banquet, we have specially invited a chef to cook in Young Master Xing’s courtyard next door. We only need to brew tea and make some sweet soup. We are not busy, so you don’t have to personally burn the firewoo
