Although Ye Muyu did not count it herself, she knew that there were at least a thousand taels in the box.

In Chu Heng’s eyes, it was as if she did not like it.

Was this man deliberately saying this to make her feel at ease, or was he really talented in earning money? Was earning money was too easy that he did not put this little bit of money in his heart?

Although Ye Muyu was curious, she did not ask further. After all, if he asked further, it would probably involve Chu Heng’s private affairs.

Rather than being thick-skinned and forcing him to answer, it was better to just do it this way. As they trusted each other enough and were willing to confess, they would confess to each other.

Human feelings always needed to be cultivated slowly.

Ye Muyu slowly calmed down and smiled.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony. If you need money, just look for me.”

“I have an account book. I’ll put it here. If you want to see it, you can come and get it.”

Seeing that Chu Heng was about to speak, Ye Muyu raised her head and said, “You don’t have give me everything. I know what you mean. Since you don’t want me to care about the money, I want you to know how I spend it. Can we agree to each other’s terms?”

Chu Heng did not care about the money at first. He just wanted Ye Muyu to slowly get used to him and even get used to him spending money on her.

To put it bluntly, Chu Heng even hoped that Ye Muyu could rely on him for a living. This way, Ye Muyu would get used to this kind of life and would not have any thoughts of leaving.

Unexpectedly, Ah Yu’s reaction was more sincere than he had imagined. She had never been tempted by the silver he had given her, nor had she developed any greed. In fact, she had always maintained this respect for him.

They respected him as a person and also respected the feelings and relationship between them.

He sighed helplessly. It seemed that it was impossible to win Ah Yu’s heart with this method.

Although this idea was shattered, Chu Heng was still in a good mood.

What else could make him happier?

However, he still needed to work hard to develop a more intimate relationship.

Ye Muyu saw Chu Heng’s expression change. It took him a while to calm down, and in the end, he even smiled.

Ye Muyu thought to herself with a faint smile.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll come and get the account book if I want to look at it in the future.” Chu Heng nodded.

“I’ll work with you in that bookstore. I’ll give you 30% of the profits. How about that?” Ye Muyu asked.

Chu Heng thought that he had already said it. In the future, he would not take back the silver. It would be used on Ah Yu anyway. There was no need to emphasize it to her now in case she was unhappy. He nodded and considered it a response.

“I brought back some notes and the usual policy discussion.” Chu Heng turned around and went to the desk. He opened the book box and took out a few books and some test papers.

Ye Muyu accepted it decisively.

“Three days later, the bookstore will open for business. When the time comes, can I invite Third Young Master Xie and Young Master Du to have a meal at Fragrance Restaurant?” Ye Muyu gently put away the exam papers and books. The silver notes were also temporarily placed back into the money box. They could be used when they were needed.

“Alright, I’ll go and invite the two of them tomorrow,” Chu Heng replied. “Can you show me the ink you made?”

When Ye Muyu heard that, she did not refuse. She quickly took out the Oil Smoke Ink from a small wooden box on the bookshelf and placed it on his desk.

She explained, “This is Oil Smoke Ink is made from tung oil, pig oil, and so on. It was also inspired by Lord Xu. I was thinking that after confirming the production steps of the Oil Smoke Ink, I would add spices to it..”
