Chapter 1599: Chapter 1596 Intent
“I know.” Lu Chuan saw her serious explanation, and somehow felt a little disappointed, lowering his head, “But… only when you wash my clothes am I truly happy.”
“Think about it carefully, maybe I’m not the most suitable choice for you. You’re choosing a wife, not a servant.” Su Mei earnestly advised him.
Lu Chuan’s heart suddenly felt heavy, seeing her eyes slightly red, he anxiously explained, “I’m not looking for a servant, I’m looking for a wife…” You’re the person I most want to marry in my heart.
He didn’t have the courage to say the rest, and could only watch her leave.
Su Mei turned and quickly walked away, stopping only after crossing the corridor, standing silently in place, leaning her back against the cold wall, patting her face, and after regaining her posure, she whispered: “I’m not worthy of you.”
The stove was burning in the room, with a window open to allow airflow, making it not stuffy, and slightly warmer than outside.
After Lu Chuan finished reporting the news to Chu Heng, he received a letter handed to him by Chu Heng.
“Ah Yu, I wrote a reply to Lil’ Jin, and your reply should be taken out by Lu Chuan as well.” Chu Heng called out, and Ye Muyu, who was feeding Nuanbao supper, raised her head, got up, took out the reply letter she had written earlier from the wooden box where the letters were kept, and handed it to Lu Chuan.
She hadn’t noticed Lu Chuan’s unusual demeanor, and was about to turn away when she saw a plum blossom on his belt with half a sachet sticking out, and she pointed it out with concern: “Lu Chuan, your thing is about to fall, be careful.”
Lu Chuan took the letter, and upon hearing this, quickly looked down at his waist, indeed noticing the sachet, and hastily reached to grab it.
Ye Muyu was close enough to immediately see the half-exposed hairpin.
“Is this… a hairpin? For your sweetheart?” Ye Muyu teased, knowing that when Lu Chuan was brought back by Chu Heng, he had said he had no family, and normally, as a single man, she never saw him with anything belonging to a woman. Maybe it was because he spent a long time with Chu Heng that he habitually kept himself proper, always speaking stiffly to the little maidservants in the residence. Though some little maidservants wanted to approach him, he, being a low-emotional-intelligence straight man, outright rejected quite a few of them.
Lu Chuan’s face instantly turned red, his eyes somewhat evasive, subconsciously gripping the hairpin tightly: “Mis… Miss… I…”
“Are you in love with someone?” Ye Muyu saw his behavior, clearly a novice in love, unable to hide the guilt and shyness in his eyes.
“Wow, who do you like? Do you want me to help test the other party’s feelings for you?”
Ye Muyu was a bit gossip-focused, extremely curious.
Chu Heng noticed her attention was entirely on Lu Chuan and felt a bit jealous, grabbing her back, looking at the red-faced Lu Chuan, quite disdainfully: “A big man, just say it directly, what’s with the stammering.”
Lu Chuan, caught off guard by this disdain, didn’t know what to say for a moment, especially having just been rejected by Su Mei. He was very nervous: “…Mm.”
“I… have taken a liking to the lady’s maid, Su Mei.”
Under Ye Muyu’s expectant gaze, Lu Chuan admitted honestly, blushing, and after speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at their reactions.
“What? You like Su Mei?” Ye Muyu was honestly a bit surprised, “I thought you’d like a lively and simple girl like Chun Xing.”
“No no no, I don’t like lively girls…”
