When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 659: Sheng Jiayu vs. Mu Ke (9)

Mu Ke sat down next to Xu Qingru: "Aunt, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Xu Qingru smiled: "No, thank you for your hard work."

"Aunt, you’re being polite."

Xu Qingru closed her eyes, rested for a moment, then spoke again: "How is Jiayu doing?"

"She is doing well."

Xu Qingru sighed: "Oh, if only I had resolutely opposed her being with that person back then, it’s all my fault."

"Aunt, you need to rest now. Don’t think about those things anymore. Now that you are well, Jiayu can be well too."

Xu Qingru nodded: "Little Mu, thank you for all your hard work during this time. I hope that child can recover soon."

"She will."

Sheng Jiayu couldn’t sleep and came out of Mu Ke’s office. Just as she reached the door of the ward, she heard the conversation inside. Although it was very soft, she heard it clearly.

Sheng Jiayu felt a wave of guilt in her heart, turned around, and leaned against the wall, tilting her head slightly.

Actually, at the beginning when she was with Xin Ke, her mother was always opposed. She had told her that Xin Ke’s eyes didn’t show love, and that if she married him, she wouldn’t be happy.

Driven by excitement and joy at that time, along with her usual confidence, Sheng Jiayu believed that as long as she was given a chance, she could make him fall in love with her. But in the end...

Sheng Jiayu smirked self-deprecatingly, turned around, and returned to Mu Ke’s office. She didn’t know if she had really moved on, but now she no longer thought about Xin Ke or whether her past self was worth it. She simply didn’t want to date anymore or have any entanglements with a man.

She is the eldest daughter of the Sheng Family, lacking neither status nor wealth. She can do everything by herself. If she wants to go shopping, she can ask friends; if she wants to hold a child, she can visit Little Tangdou; if she wants to travel, she can buy a ticket and leave at once.

She can’t do housework, but she can hire an Aunt. If a fuse blows, she can call property management.

She really doesn’t know why she needs a man.

She doesn’t need it, really doesn’t need it.

Sheng Jiayu sat on the bed for quite a while. There was movement outside, and soon the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Mu Ke came in from outside.

"Didn’t take a nap?"

"Not sleepy."

"Aunt is asleep. Later, I’ll take you out for dinner. If you want to stay here for the night, that’s fine, or I can take you back."

Sheng Jiayu did not refuse Mu Ke’s arrangement. She followed Mu Ke to a restaurant near the hospital. The two sat down and ordered their meals. After hesitating for a while, Sheng Jiayu spoke: "Mu Ke."

The man raised his eyes and looked at her calmly.

Sheng Jiayu took a deep breath, intending to get straight to the point: "I know that it was Aunt Chen who introduced you to my mother. Aunt Chen and my mother’s intentions, I think you are also very clear about them. Acting as my psychological counselor is just an excuse for them. I think some things should be made clear. I’ve been married, and even though I’m divorced, I have no intention of finding someone to date again, so..."

Before Sheng Jiayu finished speaking, the door of the restaurant was pushed open. Four people entered from outside, and the most dazzling one made her face turn pale instantly.

Mu Ke quietly waited for her to continue, but saw her face suddenly change. Mu Ke looked back, his refined brows furrowing slightly without showing any emotion.

Mu Ke slowly turned back, sat up straight, shielding Sheng Jiayu’s view. Just then, the waiter came to serve the dishes, temporarily diverting their attention.
