Chapter 1055: Chapter 1052: Hidden Thoughts
“Come here, I’ll teach you.” He had a habit of practicing the sword every day, and since Chu Jin said he didn’t want to learn, it was unexpected that when she came, the child said she wanted to learn.
He disliked explanations and didn’t want to talk much, but at this moment, he was unusually afraid that she would misunderstand him.
Chu Heng showed Chu Jin a few moves, and after he linked them together, he finally looked towards Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu had already gone over to keep Chu Ziluo company.
Chu Ziluo was now telling her about the events of the morning.
“Mother, when brother and I came over, Aunt Lin had not arrived yet. She came over with the food box only when brother and father were practicing the sword together.”
“She invited father to have breakfast with her, but father ignored her.”
“Aunt Lin stood aside and talked, asking father when he learned the sword techniques and what his usual preferences were.”
“She talked a lot, and brother found it annoying so he got angry. After practicing for a while, he stepped back on his own.”
“Father practiced for a bit and his forehead was sweating. Brother and I were going to go over and bring him a handkerchief, but Aunt Lin got there first; however, this time father spoke.”
At this point in the story, Chu Ziluo paused with a little scheming, glanced at Ye Muyu, and asked quietly, “Mother, do you want to know what father said?”
Ye Muyu turned to look at her and saw a hint of anticipation hiding in her eyes. It was clear that she was deliberately asking this.
Seeing her own little girl no longer sensitive and lacking confidence, Ye Muyu felt that time really did fly. She eventually played along, asking, “Sure, tell mother what your father answered.”
“Father said… ‘No need.’
“There’s another phrase, ‘very noisy.'”
Chu Ziluo imitated Chu Heng’s tone and finished speaking, constantly looking at Ye Muyu. In fact, she was very pleased, for father hadn’t accepted Aunt Lin’s advances; could it mean that father truly didn’t like Aunt Lin at heart?
She wanted her mother to be happy, so she couldn’t wait to share the news with her.
Ye Muyu wasn’t surprised at all. She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, “Because your father doesn’t like people getting too close.”
“But mother and father used to be very close,” Chu Ziluo said righteously but deliberately so, her little eyes still watching Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu choked.
Lifting her teacup to cover her real emotions, “That was in the past.”
“Mother, but you and father are husband and wife, you are supposed to always be close,” Chu Ziluo couldn’t hold back and spoke her true thoughts.
Seeing her daughter’s worried eyes, Ye Muyu extended her hand to stroke her head, “Chu Ziluo, didn’t you promise mother not to focus all your attention on father and mother’s relationship? Such matters require fate.”
“You’re still young.”
“Mother, then just answer my question, and afterward, I won’t ask anymore, okay?” Chu Ziluo pleaded playfully, “Mother, are you willing to reconcile with father?”
Ye Muyu didn’t have the heart to be tough on her child. After hesitating for a long while, she finally said, “I don’t know…”
“Father!” Suddenly, a voice cried out in surprise.
Ye Muyu instinctively turned around and saw Chu Heng had appeared behind her at some point; realizing the words she had just spoken, she didn’t know if Chu Heng had heard.
Chu Heng sat opposite her, looked up, and saw two faces.
Ye Muyu wore a calm expression and did not look at him, but at Lil’ Jin practicing with the sword in the courtyard.
Chu Ziluo, on the other hand, looked curious, her eyes darting back and forth between the two. When she noticed him looking over, she quickly averted her gaze guiltily.
