She massaged her wrists and, to avoid disturbing Ye Muyu’s conversation, tried her best not to speak.
Ye Muyu had slept for more than an hour.
When she woke up, she was still covered in sweat.
But seeing both maidservants trembling slightly from fanning, she felt guilty.
“Su Mei, Chun Xing, go and rest for a while. Next time, don’t be so foolish. When I am asleep, you don’t need to fan.”
Su Mei smiled lightly, “Lady, we are not tired.”
“The water is ready, I will help the lady over to wash.”
Ye Muyu did not refuse, she could not endure the feeling of being drenched with sweat, especially when her underwear was soaked through.
After comfortably bathing,
she surprisingly saw Chu Heng already sitting on the couch, reading a book.
Ye Muyu found this odd and asked somewhat surprised, “Ah Heng, how come you are back so early?”
If she had not read the hour wrong, he must have left the yamen more than an hour early.
Chu Heng beckoned to her. As she approached, he skillfully helped her sit on a spot on the couch and, as usual, bent down to listen to her belly.

Ever since the last unexpected fetal movement, Chu Heng had fallen in love with this occasional interaction with the child in her belly.
Ye Muyu also got used to it and lay back, letting him listen comfortably.
After listening, Chu Heng straightened up and explained, “It’s too hot, the yamen has issued a three-day holiday.”
“I knew it was hot. They even gave you a holiday, so it’s not just my imagination,” Ye Muyu had not expected this reason, but upon thinking about it, it made sense since the yamen did give holidays.
“I couldn’t sleep today, Su Mei and Chun Xing had to fan me, and their hands were so sore they trembled even holding a bowl,” Ye Muyu’s eyes showed a hint of pity, and she looked at him suggestively.
Who was Chu Heng? Even if Ye Muyu’s hints were subtle, he could guess accurately.
“Do you want to use the ice basin?” Chu Heng stroked her hair.
“Yes, it’s really hot. Can we use it for these two days?” Ye Muyu quickly clung to his arm coquettishly without minding the heat.
Actually, she did mind the heat, but her main concern was to please him and ensure the use of the ice basin.
Chu Heng did not reply immediately, “Tomorrow, let Lu Sangqi come and examine you. If he confirms you can use it, then use it.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu instantly thought of Lu Sangqi’s likely response.
If it were suitable for her, he would have told her already.
Ye Muyu didn’t think she was weak; why couldn’t she use the ice basin?
“I’ll eat more to better nourish my body,” Ye Muyu felt somewhat dejected, having little confidence in herself, and feeling that the hope was slim. Chu Heng seemed too perfunctory, which immediately made her irritable.
She huffed softly,
and lay down far from Chu Heng on the pillow, a bit upset.
She picked up a travel book to read casually.
Chu Heng, at a loss, hooked his finger under hers, “What’s wrong? Are you angry?”
He leaned in closer,
but before he could get close, Ye Muyu pushed him away, quite seriously saying, “It’s too hot. Please, sit over there.”
Seeing his hand repelled before even getting close, Chu Heng felt a bit sad and even somewhat unaccustomed.
No matter when,
Ah Yu had never disliked him to the point of not wanting to be touched at all.
This saddened Chu Heng deeply. Could it be that the heat was just an excuse, and her not wanting him close was the real reason?
