When she touched his shoulder blades, Ye Muyu's heart ached even more, as he had lost so much weight, he must have suffered greatly during this time.
The two embraced for quite a while before the man's emotions stabilized.
Chu Heng lifted his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"I'll go change my clothes first, I'm a bit dirty, Ah Yu, wait for me," he said.
Chu Heng hurried off, and before Ye Muyu could utter a word, she hadn't managed to stop him.
Outside the room.
Su Mei and the maidservants were startled by the sudden appearance of the master coming out of the lady's room, and it took lighting several lamps before they could confirm it was indeed their own master.
Chu Heng was indeed in a sorry state, with a beard covering his face, hair and clothes all disheveled, and even his feet were caked with mud.
He looked exhausted.
It was clear he had hurried back.
