"I'm just hugging, nothing else."
Ye Muyu rolled her eyes, clearly not believing it, and muttered, "You didn't even give a heads-up just now."
"Uh-huh." Chu Heng reached out to pat her back and whispered near her ear, "Then I'll give you a heads-up next time."
"Hmph, there won't be a next time." Ye Muyu eased her strength, pushed against his chest, and distanced herself a bit, causing Chu Heng to let go before she stood up.
She straightened her clothes, confirmed everything was in order, then muttered, "Fortunately, no one was around, otherwise you'd be embarrassed."
"What embarrassment?" Chu Heng showed no sign of discomfort and smiled at her.
Ye Muyu's eyes curved into a smile. Bending down, she leaned closer to him and poked his cheek. "Are you sure? Aren't you afraid your subordinates might see? Your romantic rumors will be known to everyone, and they'll secretly laugh at you. Gossip is human nature; they won't stay quiet just because of your status."
