Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1076: Chapter 1073: Speaking Frankly

“I can’t promise that I’ll remember, so let’s assume I’ll never remember, but if you insist on making me remember, I’m afraid it’ll only disappoint you.”

“Why not start over, with the me now, and you.”

Being watched by his dark, bright eyes, Ye Muyu felt a warmth throughout her body. She hadn’t anticipated Chu Heng saying something like this, but undeniably, this felt lighter than obsessing over when he would regain his memory.

“Ah Yu, come here.” Chu Heng reached out his hand to her.

Ye Muyu, hearing this name again, felt a sting in her nose. Maybe even she hadn’t realized that her feelings for Chu Heng were not something she could just let go of when she said she would.

Without touching, one can pretend to be unaware, but once touched, the sourness only intensifies.

Looking at the large hand in front of her, Ye Muyu still hesitated, her fingers trembling slightly as she reached out. The moment they touched his fingertips, the man pulled hard, and she was embraced in his arms.

A warm breath hit her face, and his sturdy chest felt like a rock, yet it gave her an immense sense of security.

“I think, I like you,” Chu Heng said as if speaking to himself, yet also to Ye Muyu.

Upon hearing these words, Ye Muyu’s cheeks reddened, her nose turned sour, and she nearly burst into tears.

Still, she wiped away her tears and sat up straight, boldly gazing into the face of the man close at hand.

“Do you like what you see?” Chu Heng had been holding onto her fingers all this while, beginning with a single finger touching hers, then gradually winding around, holding tight to her hand like a vine.

Ye Muyu, asked this way, felt a bit shy. Even though she’d been intimate with Chu Heng many times already, this Chu Heng had an air of composure about him, giving her a novel experience, as if one more glance would reveal the thoughts in her heart.

“Yes, it’s nice,” Ye Muyu’s voice lightened a bit.

Then, thinking of something, she said, “Aunt Lin from the residence…”

“Don’t worry about her, her status is special, and she’s still useful for now. It shouldn’t take too long before it can be resolved,” Chu Heng actually remembered everything from his past life, it was only the events after his rebirth he’d forgotten.

As for why not tone down his presence, now that he was an official, there was no need to hide it.

“Resolved?” Ye Muyu looked up in surprise, not quite understanding his meaning.

Chu Heng’s voice was steady, neither hurried nor slow, “She’s just temporarily staying at the residence. The reasons behind it haven’t come to a conclusion yet, it’s uncertain if I tell you now.”

“I won’t touch her,” he assured.

Ye Muyu looked up, smiling at him. Even if she didn’t intend to make love the most important thing, if her husband could be only hers, she couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

That heartfelt joy added a glow to her face, making her radiant and striking.

Chu Heng reached out, wrapped her in his arms, and looked down, silently gazing at her. He had always thought of himself as a heartless and emotionless person who had been alone all his life.

From the first day he saw Ye Muyu, he knew she wasn’t the original Madam Ye.

However, he hadn’t expected that she could stir up a whole pond of spring water, whether it was the deliberate seduction before or the deliberate estrangement now. He saw it in his eyes, and even more so, he realized what he truly wanted.

Seeing that Chu Heng hadn’t spoken for a long time, Ye Muyu looked up, and when their eyes met, both were startled.

Chu Heng leaned down, looking at the increasingly close handsome face, Ye Muyu instinctively clutched tightly at his lapel, nervous and unsure whether to open her eyes or keep them closed.

Just when she didn’t know how to react, a gentle kiss landed on her eyelid.
