When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 656: Sheng Jiayu vs. Mu Ke (Part 6)

"I’m not sure if there are many beautiful women."

Sheng Jiayu rolled her eyes. "If you’re not that experienced, then Doctor Mu must be a genius to know what size clothes a woman he’s unfamiliar with would wear."

Normally, such words would never come from Sheng Jiayu’s mouth, but she had been at a disadvantage with this man all the way here, and not countering now would be a waste.

Mu Ke suddenly shifted his gaze, his dark eyes calm and unruffled as he looked at Sheng Jiayu.

He didn’t speak, just quietly stared, and Sheng Jiayu felt uneasy under his gaze, so she simply turned her head to avoid eye contact.

At this moment, she finally heard the man’s cool voice: "Miss Sheng, I am a surgeon, very familiar with human anatomy. Besides, your size was already told to me by your mother."

Sheng Jiayu: "..."

"If you ever have any misunderstandings in the future, please come directly to ask me. Don’t let your imagination run wild. I’ve only bought clothes for you."

"..."

For some reason, even though Mu Ke only said one sentence, Sheng Jiayu felt like it contained a lot of information, as if it explained everything.

For instance, how he guessed she misunderstood him because of the clothes, or how he knew what her misunderstanding was...

Sheng Jiayu instinctively wanted to refute but as soon as she saw the man’s eyes, she immediately chose to keep quiet. This man was a psychologist; otherwise, he’d use his expertise to crush her again.

Sheng Jiayu said no more, quietly watching the shimmering surface of the lake.

This wasn’t her first time by the Rhine River with a man.

She had once come with Xin Ke. At that time, Xin Ke had received a scholarship from a university here, so after the college entrance exam, he came here, and she followed him here.

From home to abroad, from B City to London.

Back then, all of Sheng Jiayu’s heart was set on him alone.

It was here that she finally mustered the courage to confess to him, revealing her deeply hidden crush.

What she received, however, was just Xin Ke’s response: "I’m sorry, I already like someone else."

It was the first defeat in Sheng Jiayu’s life. She forgot how beautiful the scenery was here, forgot how nice the weather was that day.

All she could hear ringing in her ears was Xin Ke’s words "I already like someone else."

Later, because Xin Ke’s grades didn’t meet the standard, he lost his scholarship eligibility, decisively giving up his studies here and returning home.

At the time, she found it strange. With the Xin Family’s capability, supporting a student in the United Kingdom shouldn’t have been impossible, not to mention she was there too.

Only when she followed him back home did she find out that the scholarship was just a pretext; he returned for a girl.

Pulling her thoughts back from the memory, Sheng Jiayu suddenly stood up: "Let’s go. I don’t want to be here anymore." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Mu Ke looked at her meaningfully. From her eyes, he saw pain and fear.

But Mu Ke said nothing, continuing to follow behind Sheng Jiayu.

They stayed outside for a long time before returning to the hotel. Sheng Jiayu hadn’t brought her phone, and she only realized her phone had been blown up with calls once back at the hotel, mostly from Tang Yanqi and Sheng Jianan, and a few from her friends.

Sheng Jiayu replied to them one by one, telling them she was fine, just out for a walk.

Once she finished replying and looked up, she saw Mu Ke standing by the door frame with a glass of milk.

Seeing her put down her phone, Mu Ke stepped in.
