Chapter 1538: Chapter 1535: Choice
“Really?” Ye Muyu no longer held any hope, reaching out to push against his chest, “Just humor me. You’ve bee an official; how can you still be free, sigh.”
Though she plained with her words, there was still a smile on her face.
Seeing her adorable demeanor, Chu Heng couldn’t help but want to kiss her more.
–
At the rear gate of the Huo Residence.
A carriage stood still.
Huo Hongyan and Liu Zhe glanced at each other, feeling somewhat awkward.
Huo Hongyan never expected that as she planned to enter the residence, she stepped out of the carriage only to witness such a passionate scene. Just seeing Lord Chu and Madam’s intimate posture made her blush uncontrollably.
In her heart, there was a secret envy. Even though her mother and father had a good relationship, they would never display such closeness in front of others.
It was named the women’s ring.
In truth, it was simply a lack of emotion.
She couldn’t help but sigh lightly.
“What’s wrong?” Liu Zhe coughed lightly, asking with a smile.
Only then did Huo Hongyan realize that to avoid Lord Chu’s detection, she chose to board the Liu Family’s carriage, and there were other people in the carriage too!
Her face turned even redder, she stammered to explain, “No, nothing, I’ll get off the carriage soon.”
In the corner of Liu Zhe’s eye, he had long seen Lord Chu holding Madam as they returned to the residence. However, due to some secret thoughts in his heart, he didn’t remind anyone. Instead, he looked at Huo Hongyan intensely, seeing her face grow red inch by inch, then the blush spreading to her neck, and her rosy lips slightly curving, it made him feel a rush of heat.
How could Huo Hongyan ignore his heated gaze? Originally, she thought that by not paying attention, he would restrain himself. Who knew, after this long, he was still looking at her!
Unable to resist, Huo Hongyan ground her teeth, looking up to squeeze out a fierce smile, “Young Master Liu, it’s truly troublesome for you today. Without you, I definitely wouldn’t be able to get the shop running.”
“But my family consists only of female family members, it’s inconvenient to invite you, when I have some free time, I’ll host you myself.”
“Actually, it’s not that… ahem, if Miss Huo feels fortable, then it would be my honor.”
“Not at all.” Huo Hongyan tried hard to force a smile; if they hadn’t spent a lifetime together, understanding his character, she would have perceived him as a rascal.
Because she knew, she understood Liu Zhe had developed feelings for her.
This realization made her both happy and sad, knowing she and he had no possibilities whatsoever. If they continued being involved, even she might find it hard to let go…
Thinking of parting made her heart ache; she already turned her face away, unwilling to get intertwined with Liu Zhe any further, “Young Master Liu, then I’ll return to the residence first, thanks for your help today.”
Speaking, without waiting for Liu Zhe to respond, she turned around and got off the carriage, swiftly entering the residence through the back door.
Liu Zhe gazed at her departing figure, waiting until the back door was tightly shut, not seeing any trace of her anymore, he let out a gentle sigh, “Let’s return.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Ru Mo climbed into the carriage, curiously asking, “Young Master, you and Miss Huo… that…”
Seeing his conflicted expression, Liu Zhe knew what he wanted to say, couldn’t help but smile, “Why, worried my mother would interfere with us?”
“Young Master, you are aware of the lady’s thoughts, huh.” Ru Mo sweated profusely, clinging to his leg, relaying the lady’s instructions to him, “Every time the Young Master goes out, the lady tells the servant to keep an eye on you, not to wander aimlessly outside, especially not to visit The Brothel Area, and your marriage, the lady has been particularly occupied with this lately.”
“I guess today when you return home, the lady will talk to you about this matter.”
