Chapter 1788: Chapter 1785: Gentle Coaxing

“Get some sleep, it’s getting late.”

“Yeah, I know.” Ye Muyu’s voice was muffled, but she wasn’t too unhappy. She wrapped her arms around his waist, found a comfortable position, and the familiar scent along with the warm touch gave her a sense of security, and she soon fell asleep.

Chu Heng leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead.

In her dreams, Ye Muyu felt even more relaxed and comfortable because of that kiss.

The next morning.

When Ye Muyu woke up, she was surprised to see that Chu Heng hadn’t gone to the royal court yet.

Chu Heng heard the movement, put down the official document he was reading, and came over, “Awake?”

“Why are you still home? I thought you had gone to court.” Ye Muyu rubbed her eyes, yawned, and slowly woke up.

Chu Heng reached out and rubbed her cheek, pulling her up as he said, “Today’s a day off, no court.”

“That’s quite rare.” Ye Muyu knew that Emperor Xuanming was a very diligent emperor. There was never a time he would skip court without reason; according to what Chu Heng had said, he would never rest early nor indulge in the company of women.

He was considered one of the most diligent and caring emperors in history.

“Are you going to the yamen today?” Although there’s no need for court, he hadn’t mentioned if the yamen was also on holiday.

And usually, the yamen operates on a rotation system, never giving all officials a holiday without cause.

“Yes, but I can go later, I’ll have breakfast with you first.” Chu Heng had already taken the clothes off the screen, dressing Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu felt a bit embarrassed, her voice soft, “I can do it myself, why don’t you take a rest?”

“No need, it’s been a while since I’ve dressed you.” Chu Heng enjoyed these moments of mutual care and intimacy, as if he and Ah Yu’s lives were tightly intertwined, making him feel comfortable and giving a sense that Ah Yu was always by his side.

He knew he was somewhat possessive, appearing gentle while actually pulling Ye Muyu into his life forcibly, leaving traces of her everywhere, always keeping her within a safe distance, driven by his possessiveness.

He hoped through these small details, Ye Muyu would get used to him always being around, so that in the future, no one, not even Nuanbao, Lil’ Jin, or Chu Ziluo, could replace his position.

He alone was the most special.

Chu Heng took a deep breath, restrained this impulse, and couldn’t help but lean down to kiss Ye Muyu’s rosy ear.

Ye Muyu instinctively shivered, but her hands naturally wrapped around his waist, her ears tickled, and a trembling sensation spread from her spine throughout her body, “Ah Heng, stop, Su Mei and others will be coming in soon.”

Just after Ye Muyu woke up, she had instructed Su Mei to prepare hot water for washing up.

If they caught her in this situation, she would be so embarrassed, her face flushed as she reached out to push Chu Heng.

Chu Heng’s chest was all muscle, and when she pushed, it felt solid. Not wanting to suffer, she grabbed his clothes instead, holding herself up.

When Chu Heng finally let go, she felt completely drained, leaning back into his embrace.

“Alright, okay.” Chu Heng’s voice still carried a hint of amusement.

Ye Muyu pretended to be angry, gently pounding his chest, feeling her ears wet, unable to resist wiping them, but Chu Heng had already gently cleaned them for her.
