Chapter 1263: Chapter 1260: Princess Carry Chapter 1263: Chapter 1260: Princess Carry Ye Muyu glared, hardly believing that he had such nerve. âArenât you afraid of losing face?â
She quietly ground her teeth.
Chu Heng raised an eyebrow, looking down at her. âWhat is there to lose face about? The Emperor knows I am henpecked,â the lady assured him, âI will take good care of you.â
âOw.â Ye Muyu couldnât hold back, biting his chin, and from the corner of her eye, she saw the manâs Adamâs apple bob up and down. Her heart tingled, daring not to provoke further, she quickly hid herself, shyly burying her face in his chest.
Chu Heng carried Ye Muyu back to the inner courtyard.
Along the way, they encountered quite a few servants.
Seeing this scene, they couldnât help but steal glances.
Su Mei and Chun Xing stayed behind, where quite a few people held them up to ask, âIs the Lady feeling unwell?â
âNot at all, the master was just distressed that the Lady was too tired in the palace, so he carried her back,â Chun Xing, always straightforward, spoke matter-of-factly, shocking the others even more.
Someone said, âThe Lady and the masterâs relationship is too good.â
âI heard from outsiders before that the master is henpecked, now I believe it.â
âThe master is too good. Iâve never seen any other man this nice,â one of the maidservants said enviously.
Su Mei gave her a look, discreetly hinting, âThe master is only nice to the Lady. You probably havenât seen the master when heâs harsh.â
Several maidservants shivered, not daring to speak further; they had witnessed Chu Heng punishing servants, the gory scene putting a stop to anyoneâs misguided thoughts instantly and filling them with fear.
Satisfied, Su Mei called to Chun Xing, âLetâs go. The Lady needs to dress up; we need to hurry back to wait on her.â
Chun Xing nodded, not noticing anything amiss.
The other maidservants didnât dare keep up their chatter either and went forth to work diligently.
Meanwhile.
Ye Muyu was placed by Chu Heng on a soft couch, and after he entered, he instructed the maidservants to bring in a basin of hot water.
He knelt down, actually intending to take off Ye Muyuâs shoes.
âAh Heng.â Ye Muyu was startled, stretching out her hand to stop him.
Chu Heng simply kissed her hand tenderly, his face soft. From Ye Muyuâs angle, the manâs eyelashes appeared long, his eyes very attractive, âYouâve been tired for so long, relax and soak your feet for a while.â
âJust obey me, okay?â Chu Heng spoke as he had already removed her shoes and stockings.
With a hint of huskiness in his voice, he appeared very sexy. Ye Muyu thought he looked extremely attractive and couldnât help but reach out to touch his face.
Chu Heng was only momentarily startled, then let her continuously mold his face.
Seeing he wasnât angry, Ye Muyuâs movements became bolder, pinching his face and touching his brows, seemingly sharp but not harmful to the touch at all.
Her finger moved to his nose, and she couldnât resist lightly poking it.
This action made Chu Heng abruptly look up at her. Ye Muyu, feeling somewhat guilty, withdrew her hand, âThat⊠your nose is very⊠perkyâŠâ
Chu Hengâs eyes instantly deepened, âI didnât realize, Ah Yu you liked my⊠nose so much?â
He deliberately paused at the critical point, with an insinuation. Ye Muyu was taken aback, realizing only after a moment and feeling her ears heat up, she stuttered in rebuttal, âI just thought it was good-looking, donât misunderstand.â
âMisunderstand?â
Chu Heng abruptly stood up, holding her in his arms and leaning down, their cheeks close, nose tips aligned, their breaths fervently spraying on each otherâs faces.
