When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 655: Sheng Jiayu vs. Mu Ke (Part 5)
A sudden restlessness arose in her heart for no reason. Sheng Jiayu turned off the shower with her backhand, stepped out, and fell onto the bed, quietly staring at the ceiling.
Her gaze shifted slightly to a bag beside her. Sheng Jiayu propped herself up and slowly took out the clothes inside, two sets of underwear, two sets of outerwear, and a pair of nude-colored leather shoes, flat and versatile.
Seeing this, Sheng Jiayu’s face turned red again. Even if the man outside could deduce her clothing size based on her intuitive figure, that was just the outerwear. How did he know about the innerwear?
Or could it be that this man is an experienced womanizer, recognizing a woman’s size with just a glance?
This was the only explanation.
Sheng Jiayu blushed. The clothes were clearly washed and dried. This man, so considerate, surely a seasoned pro.
After resting for half an hour, Sheng Jiayu took a shower and changed into the newly bought clothes: a nude-colored knitted dress, paired with a slightly darker thin belt at the waist, highlighting her slim waistline.
Putting aside the notion of the seasoned pro, this style was actually to her liking.
Sheng Jiayu had always given off the impression of a powerful businesswoman, and her attire mostly followed an office lady style, which she didn’t truly like. It was because a man once said, "I hope my wife can support me to the fullest in my career; I hope my wife can stand side by side with me at the negotiating table."
From then on, she fully transformed into a powerful businesswoman, with attire and demeanor emitting an aura of an elite professional.
But in reality, she didn’t like it at all.
It had been so long that Sheng Jiayu almost forgot what she truly liked.
It’s like the dress she was wearing now. If she were shopping on her own and spotted such a dress, she would stop to take a closer look, but she would definitely not buy it, as it wasn’t office lady style at all.
Xin Ke didn’t like it, so she shouldn’t like it either.
Thinking of that man, a faint pain tugged at Sheng Jiayu’s heart. She tried hard to suppress her thoughts, avoiding all those messy distractions.
After tidying her hair, she turned and went out.
Mu Ke had also changed his shirt and was sitting on the sofa, casually flipping through a magazine from the hotel. Seeing Sheng Jiayu come out, he stood up with his tall frame: "Let’s go."
Sheng Jiayu didn’t ask where they were going, knowing it would be useless to ask anyway.
Mu Ke took Sheng Jiayu directly to the Rhine River, a river brimming with a humanistic atmosphere.
Although it was summer, London’s weather wasn’t so hot. Occasionally, a breeze blew by, bringing some coolness.
Sheng Jiayu walked slowly along the riverbank, with Mu Ke following behind. Whether it was because the surroundings were too noisy or because his footsteps were too light, Sheng Jiayu could hardly feel his presence, except for when she occasionally looked down and saw their shadows cast on the ground.
After walking a bit, Sheng Jiayu was the first to sit down on the grass beside the path. Many couples nearby were sitting on the ground, enjoying the riverbank breeze and the warm sunshine overhead.
Mu Ke sat down next to Sheng Jiayu. When this man didn’t speak, he was truly a quiet and handsome man. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he could drive you up the wall in minutes.
Feeling a bit awkward just sitting there, Sheng Jiayu spoke first: "I heard from my mother that Doctor Mu studied in Oxford?"
"Yes."
"There are many beautiful women here. Doctor Mu must be quite fortunate in this regard."
"I’m not sure."
"Hmm?"
