Chapter 169: Testing Each Other

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, Chu Heng felt a little guilty. He seemed to be a little too irresponsible…

Everyone else had a husband at home.

Only Ye Muyu did not.

Everyone else had the male lead outside and the female lead inside, but Ye Muyu had to be in charge of both the matter outside and inside.

If he had been at home yesterday, then he would have been the one to pick up Lil’ Jin. He would have been able to save her in one piece, and there would have been no need for his wife to jump into the river to save the child.

Chu Heng was a very decisive person. Since he had reflected on his mistakes, he would immediately correct them.

Since that was the case, he would just move back.

Ye Muyu did not know that a casual question from her had caused Chu Heng to make a decision that surprised the whole family.

“I’m not forcing you. Otherwise, why don’t you call my mother in?” Ye Muyu felt that the current Chu Heng was a little strange. She felt more comfortable talking to Old Woman Ye without considering what the other party was thinking.

There was also a little awkwardness between the two of them that she did not notice.

Chu Heng’s face darkened again.

How could he not tell that Ye Muyu despised him?

Chu Heng took a deep breath and decided not to argue with her.

He had to give in to the patient.

Moreover, she was a woman.

Combining these two factors, Chu Heng expressed that adults should not hold a woman’s fault in mind. A gentleman should be magnanimous. “I’ll call your mother over.”

“However…”

Chu Heng changed his tone and looked at Ye Muyu with a deep and serious gaze.

“Hmm?” Ye Muyu did not know why, but her heart suddenly beat faster. She felt that what the other party was about to ask was something she did not want to answer.

As expected, while she was feeling uneasy.

Chu Heng said in a low voice, “You’re not from the Madam Ye I know.”

“You are someone else.”

The man’s tone was firm, and there was no doubt or curiosity from before.

Ye Muyu was shocked. Could it be that something had happened to Chu Heng while she was unconscious?

Her heart was on tenterhooks. Chu Heng’s intelligence was definitely the one she needed to guard against the most.

She had read the cases in the Chu Law before. It was said that someone had a sudden change in personality. The family hired an eminent monk to perform the ritual, and in the end, the young master’s temperament recovered.

Although there were no detailed records, it made Ye Muyu realize that there was a higher being.

She did not want to be treated as a lonely ghost by others. After all, it was not easy to live. Although she could not explain why, there was a voice in her heart telling her that if she left, this body would really die.

She was selfish, but she really wanted to live well. In addition to this incident, she felt that she was becoming more and more compatible with this body. The words in the dark, ‘she is you, you are her’, made her feel a little attached to this place.

“I told Mother and Mother-in-law that you know how to cook because I was the one who found a recipe book,” Chu Heng stood up and suddenly said something that seemed unimportant.

Ye Muyu suddenly understood.

Chu Heng was protecting her.

Why was he protecting her and not threatening her?

Ye Muyu could not produce any evidence, but she had this feeling.

“Can I change my name?” Ye Muyu spoke out as a test. Since Chu Heng had already seen through it, it would not be appropriate for her to continue hiding it. If Chu Heng was willing to protect her as a husband, this would be a secret that only belonged to the two of them.

“Sure. I didn’t like your previous name either.” Chu Heng smiled.

Ye Muyu looked at the smiling man in front of her. His smile covered the darkness in his eyes. What a handsome man.

“My name is Ye Muyu..”
