Chapter 525 - 525: Force Her
Ye Muyu’s heart skipped a beat. She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. “I’m not a child. I’m a mother now.”
“In my heart, you are a child.” Chu Heng’s tone was firm and he spoke from the bottom of his heart. His gaze was fixed on Ye Muyu.
He wanted to hug her, but he was afraid that he would scare her.
Especially now that he had to force her to admit her true feelings.
Ye Muyu stopped talking and slowly finished the bowl of ginger soup. Perhaps it was because she had caught a cold, but she had no appetite at all. She pushed the bowl he was holding and said softly, “I don’t want to eat lunch. I want to rest for a while.”
Chu Heng frowned. “No, you have to eat at least a little. Otherwise, you won’t have the strength to recover.”
“I’ve already asked Madam Hu to make some of your favorite soup. We were lucky this time and bought some seafood. There’s a kind of seaweed that can be used to make soup.”
“Don’t worry, it won’t be too oily. I’ll only drip two or three drops.” Chu Heng guessed that Ye Muyu probably had no appetite. People who caught a cold were all like this. He did not find it strange. Instead, he thought of ways to make Ah
Yu feel better.
“No need…” Before Ye Muyu could finish speaking, Chu Heng covered her mouth with his hand. His eyes were full of disapproval. “No, Ah Yu, you have to be obedient. Otherwise, how are you going to see your brother tomorrow?”
Ye Muyu’s voice went hoarse. She looked up at him and could not help but ask in her heart, ‘Do you really want to divorce me?’
However, she could not ask out loud. She had always been sensible, so she could not take that step from the bottom of her heart. How could she make things difficult for Chu Heng?
She lowered her eyes again. “I understand. I’ll have a good meal. Tomorrow…”
“When I see Big Brother tomorrow, I will tell him about the divorce.”
Chu Heng held the bowl of ginger soup and trembled slightly. He almost knocked over the bowl. It was only with the last bit of rationality that he controlled himself and did not say that he would never let her go.
“I’ll get you lunch.” Chu Heng fled in panic. He staggered out of the door and almost fell to the ground.
Ye Muyu did not dare to look at him, so she did not notice.
After confirming that there was only one person left in the room, she leaned against the headboard dejectedly and tugged at the clothes in front of her, trying hard to suppress the reluctance in her heart.
She kept persuading herself that Chu Heng wanted to separate because he had met the girl he liked. She could not delay him, nor did she have the right to delay him.
He had treated her well, so she had to repay him.
The only thing she could do for him now was to agree to his divorce request. Even if she was reluctant, she had to agree.
She believed that when she was far away from him in the future, she would be able to forget him and return to the way things were in the past. She would live a good life peacefully. Therefore, she could endure all the sudden reluctance, grievances, and sadness that appeared now. She had to endure them all. She could not even let Chu Heng detect it at all.
It was just two children…
Ye Muyu suddenly stood up and took out the wooden box with the silver from his suitcase.
It contained all the money she had earned these days.
The thousand taels of silver that Chu Heng had given her, as well as the title deed, were all placed in a small box by her. She then placed the money box in Chu Heng’s clothes box.
As for the remaining silver, 110 taels were from Lil’ Jin selling Zhuge Locks. Ye Muyu put it into a separate money bag. She did not have much left, only 200 taels. All of it came from selling honey grapefruit tea and the bookstore.
She could give each child 100 taels..
