Ye Muyu nestled in his embrace, softly humming, "This is more like it. As long as you understand me, itâs fine."
"Donât be mad, be good." Chu Heng knew she was acting out because of him. In the end, it was all because of him, and these are trivial matters that donât hurt anyone, so he naturally couldnât bear to blame her.
"Are we going out today?"
"What for?" Ye Muyu asked casually.
She had seen all the sights in the capital. Compared to going out, she preferred to stay home reading or accompanying Nuanbao in class.
"To go horseback riding outside the city." Chu Heng stood up, went to the bedroom, and took out a riding outfit from the closet, along with a smaller set.
"When did you prepare this?" Ye Muyu walked over, tidied it up, and asked curiously.
"You mentioned being bored at home some time ago."
"So Lilâ Jin, Li Can, and some other young masters from the Ministry organized a horse racing event outside the city. The capital has been bustling, and with glazed mirrors, watching the race is more convenient."
"That kid secretly sold quite a few tickets as well. If I hadnât bought them from him at the start, we probably couldnât get any now." Chu Heng helped her change clothes.
Ye Muyu was a bit surprised upon hearing that, "Is it really that popular?"
"Of course. The capital is affluent, but there are few large-scale activities like this, except during festivals when there might be some lantern events." Chu Heng saw her wearing the riding outfit, her whole demeanor becoming more spirited, and he appreciatively admired her.
"Not bad, you look great."
"Wearing red doesnât seem appropriate for me, does it?" Ye Muyu felt a bit awkward.
She tugged at her hair, wanting to pin it up.
Chu Heng took the comb and started grooming her hair slowly, his actions quite deft.
Before long, he styled her hair and fixed it securely.
"Howâs it look?" Chu Heng nudged her to look in the vanity mirror.
Through the vanity mirror, Ye Muyu saw Chu Hengâs smiling face. Instinctively straightening her back, she pursed her lips and asked, "Do I look nice?"
"You look beautiful." Chu Heng nodded with a smile.
Ye Muyu was instantly appeased, "Alright then, Iâll wear this."
In fact, Chu Heng had quite the eye and insight.
Ye Muyu wearing this outfit really showcased her highlights, and it was much livelier and brighter compared to her usual attire, which had to be luxurious and dignified to match her status.
It made her appear more lively.
"Letâs pick up Nuanbao first, and then head out together." Chu Heng took her hand and they walked outside.
Ye Muyu was all dressed up, so she naturally didnât refuse, "Okay, letâs go together."
Nuanbaoâs progress at school was neither too fast nor too slow.
But he was very well-liked by the Master.
When the Master heard that Ye Muyu and Chu Heng had come to take Nuanbao out to play, he seemed hesitant to speak.
"Whatâs the matter?" Ye Muyu asked.
Seeing her ask, the Master boldly said, "Madam, the Young Master has quite the talent for studying and ordinarily isnât one to play around. Heâs still young, and itâs rare to cultivate such a habit. Perhaps you should go with the Master instead?"
"Nuanbao is going to learn horseback riding and archery, he has no opportunity to learn at the residence." Ye Muyu didnât refute the Masterâs words. After all, if she were a bit more forceful, she could take the child without needing the Masterâs opinion.
The Master paused, hesitantly asking, "Really?"
"Yes, indeed, I wouldnât lie."
The Master thought for a moment. Yes, itâs indeed rare to see the Young Master asking for leave often.
