When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 667: Mu Ke, Do You Like Me? (Part 7)

Jiayu smiled without saying anything, Xue Lu looked at her and sighed again, "I really don’t know what to say to you. Xin Ke isn’t exceptionally outstanding. Why are you so stubborn about him? Jiayu, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but if you stay single, Aunt definitely won’t agree. Are you planning to fight with Aunt over this in the future?"

Xue Lu’s words hit the mark, and Jiayu couldn’t help but glance up at her.

"You, don’t think I’m just trying to scare you. When Xue Li and I were married for two years and didn’t have kids, my parents were pushing like crazy. Pushing for marriage, pushing for kids, it’s a fate you can’t escape."

Jiayu pursed her lips. Although she had her own ideas and really didn’t want to accept any more relationships, she had to admit Xue Lu had a point. If she remained single, she wouldn’t get past Xu Qingru.

"We’ll talk about it later, let’s worry about future things in the future."

Xue Lu patted her friend’s shoulder, "Jiayu, don’t hide in your own little world. You’ve only been in a relationship with Xin Ke. Open your heart and try to get to know others. Even if it doesn’t work out, so what? Try it, and you’ll find the world is big. I know you’re strong and think you don’t need a man, but sometimes it’s not about need. Don’t you want someone to leave a light on for you when you come home? Do you want only the fridge light to be on when you get back?"

Xue Lu earnestly tried to persuade her, but the image of Mu Ke awkwardly wearing an apron and cooking for her in her apartment suddenly came to Jiayu’s mind.

Jiayu lowered her eyes and stopped speaking.

In the afternoon, Xu Qingru leisurely woke up. The aunt in the villa prepared dinner, and Xu Qingru invited Xue Lu to stay for dinner. Along with two aunts, there were five people at the table, which was quite lively.

Xu Qingru seemed to be in a particularly good mood, "It’s been a long time since it was this lively."

Those words made Jiayu feel a bit sentimental, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and didn’t show anything.

After dinner, Xue Lu chatted with Xu Qingru until past nine o’clock. When Xu Qingru went upstairs to rest, Xue Lu got up, "Xue Li is almost here, I’ll be leaving in a bit. You stay with Aunt and I’ll come again when I have time."

Jiayu nodded. They hadn’t talked for long before the sound of a car engine came from outside. Jiayu accompanied Xue Lu to the door and was stunned.

There were two cars parked side by side outside, the one in front belonged to Chen Xueli, and the one behind... was Mu Ke’s.

Outside the villa, two vintage pendant lamps hung from the pillars at the door, casting a soft yellow light. Mu Ke’s tall and slender figure looked even more striking under the light.

Perhaps it was with comparison that there came hurt.

Chen Xueli’s temperament and appearance couldn’t even match Xin Ke’s, let alone Mu Ke’s.

Standing together, they were worlds apart.

Xue Lu had never seen Mu Ke, and was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of the handsome man until she saw her own husband wink at her. Xue Lu immediately understood and turned to Jiayu, "Jiayu, we’re leaving now, bye-bye."

After saying that, she jumped into the car and urged Chen Xueli to drive, not wanting to be a third wheel.

Jiayu hadn’t even had the chance to say goodbye before the car sped away.

Under the dim streetlights, only she and Mu Ke remained.
