Chapter 140: Mutual Love?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“If Brother Xie really wants to buy it, I hope I can ask my wife when I return before giving Brother Xie an answer.”

Xie Yu was slightly stunned. After a long while, he sighed, “Chu Heng, you’re so good to your wife. So what my father said about mutual love really exists.”

When Du Heng heard this, he could not help but take a few more glances at Chu Heng.

He had known Chu Heng for a long time, but he had never heard of him being in love with his wife.

Chu Heng was even more stunned. He did not expect Xie Yu to use ‘mutual love’ to describe his way of getting along with Madam Ye.

“Mutual love?” Chu Heng could not help but ask back. He was confused, but he did not dislike this term, even if he had memories of his previous life.

“That’s right. My father always respects my mother. Whenever my father had any needs, my mother would always be the first to think of them. My father also knows what my mother likes the best. Every time he goes on a long trip, he will definitely buy my mother a gift that she likes.”

Xie Yu’s words were true. In the entire Nanchang County, everyone who knew the Xie family knew that Old Master Xie and Madam Xie had a good relationship.

Now that Xie Yu saw that Chu Heng subconsciously respected his wife and did not agree just because he could earn money, he had a better impression of Chu Heng. Naturally, he became more casual and even told her about his family’s private matters.

Du Heng blinked his eyes at Chu Heng with some excitement. It seemed like the Third Young Master of the Xie family had a good impression of Brother Heng. This was a good thing.

Chu Heng ignored his excitement and replied to Xie Yu, “My wife and I don’t have the same relationship as your father and mother, but thank you for your blessings.”

“I’m never wrong.” When Xie Yu heard the word ‘blessings’, he thought of what the Taoist priest had said about his deep luck and winked at Chu Heng.

Xie Yu ate another piece of cake and ordered twelve pieces of it from Chu Heng. He said that the pastries could be sent to the Xie residence at any time after making them. He even gave Chu Heng a deposit of one tael of silver.

However, Chu Heng did not accept it and only said that it was not too late to collect the silver after it was delivered.

Xie Yu did not force him and went home in a good mood.

After Xie Yu left, Du Heng continued to sit and drink tea. He couldn’t help but sigh, “Brother Heng, I think Brother Yu has a good impression of you.”

“This way, it will be more convenient for the three of us to exchange academic knowledge in the future.”

“By the way, Brother Heng, where do you sell your pastries? I’ll go buy it too when I’m free.” Du Heng’s family also had a shop in the county, so they still had the money to buy pastries. When they were hungry, they naturally would not mind spending money on pastries.

Chu Heng picked up the teacup and took a sip. He felt regretful that all six pieces were gone. Hearing this, he said calmly, “I don’t know. My wife only asked my younger brother to take ten portions to sell today. Moreover, this pastry is not easy to preserve. I’m afraid my wife is only testing it.”

It had to be said that Chu Heng had already guessed Ye Muyu’s plan through Madam Liu’s words.

“If that’s the case, then I can only ask you to help me order pastries from Madam.” Du Heng winked at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng did not immediately agree, only saying, “I will help you ask my wife.”

“Alright, alright, I’m not in a hurry. I’ll just eat it once every few days,” Du Heng said with a smile in a good mood.

Du Heng left.

Chu Heng wrote the letter, carried it with him, and went to school. At the same time, he asked someone to send the letter to Chu Xing.

As for Chu Xing, he originally thought that no one would buy the milk cake for 20 copper coins.

However, after cutting some small pieces as samples, they did not even reach the real rich families before selling out..
