Chapter 1064: Chapter 1061: Going Out
“Mother, do you know what flavor Dad likes?” Chu Ziluo, pleased that her father was cooperating, eagerly continued to engage with her mother.
Ye Muyu raised an eyebrow, “He likes them all.”
This answer was too vague, almost as if she hadn’t answered at all.
Feeling outmaneuvered, Chu Ziluo gave Chu Heng a toothy, silent “I did my best,” not daring to provoke further and gave up.
Chu Heng glanced at the busy Ye Muyu and found a stool to sit on nearby, unable to be of much help, he silently waited for her to finish a dish before placing a portion in the food box.
There were three food boxes in total.
Zhao Qingqing’s was separate from Elder Master Zhao’s.
Another portion was separately packed for the family going to the manor.
By the time Ye Muyu had finished all the dishes, it was already an hour and a half later.
She stopped, about to clean up the kitchen when Su Lan and several maidservants quickly gathered around, vying to do the work. Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Muyu did not insist and let them be.
Turning around, she saw the two children sneaking pastries.
She smiled helplessly and touched their heads, “I am going to change clothes, and we’ll set off.”
“Mother, please go ahead. We’ll wait for you,” Chu Ziluo said sweetly.
Ye Muyu nodded and quickly exited the kitchen, heading straight into the house.
With Su Mei’s help, she chose a light green outfit. When it came to choosing which cape to wear, Su Mei approached, hesitating.
Ye Muyu turned her head and asked softly, “What is it?”
“My lady, the weather is cool, are you going to use the cape Sir gave you last time or the one from Miss Zhao?”
Ye Muyu’s lips twitched slightly. Was even her maid here to probe her mood now?
“Use whichever is suitable.”
Ye Muyu applied cream on her face and hands.
Having prepared her luggage, this time she took Su Mei and Chun Xing with her.
Ye Muyu stepped out of the courtyard first, and after some hesitation, Su Mei decisively chose the white one!
The carriage at the front yard was ready, equipped with a stove and layered with thick mats.
One of the carriages, which was quite large, had been chosen.
Ye Muyu first helped the children get into the carriage.
As she was about to board, her skirt caught on something. She immediately stopped and reached down to free it, but suddenly a hand reached over from behind. The man’s fingers were slender, chilly, and with a light touch, the corner of her clothing fell from the hook.
The man bent over to adjust her skirt, standing very close to her. Ye Muyu felt as though she was entirely enveloped in his arms, and inhaling the familiar scent, her cheeks flushed, she inadvertently straightened up, only to bump her shoulders against the man’s chest.
Immovable, Ye Muyu tugged at her skirt, stepping up to board but then thought better of it and said, “Sir, you should go to the carriage at the back. There’s no more room in this one.”
“Let’s both go to the back,” Chu Heng said in a calm yet imposing voice, as if questioning her but also speaking to himself.
Ye Muyu’s brows furrowed slightly.
“I have something to discuss with you,” Chu Heng’s voice continued from behind. She felt him move further away, straightened her posture, and turned to see him walking towards the back carriage.
Ye Muyu hesitated for a moment, then withdrew her foot, walked to the carriage window, and lifted the curtain, telling the children opposite, “You two sit. Aunty Hu and Nenya will come later, and Lu Chuan is driving in front. Call them if you need anything, understand?”
“Mother, go ahead. I’ll take good care of my brother.”
