Chapter 1646: Chapter 1643: Confession

Chu Heng was caught between tears and laughter, unable to resist scratching the waist he held.

Ye Muyu couldn’t help but burst out laughing, repeatedly pleading for mercy, “I was wrong, I was wrong.”

“Sit properly.” Chu Heng released his fingers, placing them on her shoulder to give a massage.

After massaging her shoulders, he moved on to her waist, being very attentive, even massaging her fingers.

Ye Muyu lay there, talking to him: “Ah Heng, I heard that Princess Weisaiya was rescued by a prince? Do you know which prince it was?”

“I can’t be sure.” Chu Heng shook his head, “But today the Great Prince was in the palace, while the other three princes were outside the palace. It’s hard to say who it was.”

“It can’t be the Second Prince, right?” Ye Muyu sounded a bit heavy, “Although Princess Weisaiya isn’t a citizen of Great Chu, she’s still considered a daughter-in-law coming into the family, having just had her hairpin ceremony. So young, while the Second Prince is almost thirty.”

“That’s a whole cycle difference.”

“But it’s possible. If it were King Qi or Prince Rong, Princess Weisaiya surely wouldn’t hide it. Either of them would be age-appropriate, I think it’s quite fitting.”

Chu Heng’s fingers paused, Ye Muyu noticed and tilted her head to look at him, puzzled: “What’s wrong?”

Chu Heng looked at her, reaching out to cup her face in a half-lying position, asking, “Do you… mind couples with a significant age difference?”

“Hmm?” Ye Muyu didn’t understand why he asked this, but didn’t think much of it, “Not that I mind, it’s mainly that the Second Prince already has a Princess Consort. If he ruins Princess Weisaiya’s reputation, she’ll have to marry him and at most get the position of Consort.”

“Marrying an old man is one thing, but a group of wives and concubines, it’s just…” Ye Muyu was embarrassed to say the word “defile,” but her eyes clearly hinted it to Chu Heng.

Chu Heng first winced at being called an old man, then couldn’t help but laugh at her playful blinking.

“You have a point, but there should be results soon, as matters like this need to be struck while the iron is hot.” Chu Heng stretched out his hand to gently massage her neck, relieving her fatigue.

Ye Muyu felt so comfortable she couldn’t help but hum softly.

Hearing her, Chu Heng’s gaze deepened, and he poked her back, “Quiet down, do you want to be able to get out of bed tomorrow?”

Realizing the implication of his words, Ye Muyu’s cheeks flushed red, and she retorted, “Beast.”

Seeing her embarrassed and annoyed, Chu Heng couldn’t help but laugh.

Ye Muyu buried her head in the thin blanket, couldn’t help but pound on the soft couch.

“Right, Ah Heng, why did you ask about minding age difference in couples just now?” Ye Muyu suddenly attacked, squinting her eyes as she questioned him.

Chu Heng remained calm, “Hmm? Didn’t you bring it up first? I saw how righteously indignant you were, and got curious enough to ask.”

“You’re lying.” Ye Muyu huffed twice, “If it was nothing, you wouldn’t have paused, and you wouldn’t be explaining so much now.”

Chu Heng raised an eyebrow, tapping her neck lightly and scratching a bit, causing a tickle, prompting Ye Muyu to dodge quickly.

“Don’t play dumb, it must be related to you, that’s why you asked.” Ye Muyu sat up, moving out of his reach, speaking slyly.

For a while.

Chu Heng sighed softly, his voice a mix of tenderness and helplessness, “Didn’t you already guess it, yet you ask, not very obedient.”

“I just wanted to give you a chance to coax me.” Ye Muyu laughed and threw herself into his arms, hugging his neck.
