Chapter 1049: Leaving Scars

Chu Heng was reading intensely—the majority were the caravan's account books. During his time in He County, he had to supervise the riverside every day, only attending to some important elders and issuing commands.

Hearing Ye Muyu's voice, for some reason, he felt as if a feather had brushed against the tip of his heart.

It was slightly ticklish, and his body also felt a bit warm.

Ye Muyu, standing far away, did not notice.
