When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 678: No Problem Taking Care of You (8)

Jiayu finished eating and was sent to sit on the sofa by Mu Ke. She grabbed her phone and found many unread WeChat messages and several missed calls.

The missed calls were all about the interior renovation of the store. Jiayu replied to them, and they were all small issues, which were resolved quickly.

The WeChat messages were from Xue Lu, mainly praising someone’s performance at the mall yesterday.

Jiayu read them one by one; there was nothing of significant value, just saying how Mu Ke’s performance was incredibly boyfriend-like, and the expressions of Xin Ke and Su Wan that seemed like they had swallowed flies.

When she reached the last message, Jiayu was taken aback.

"A man like this, one in a hundred! If you don’t snag him, your face would be letting you down."

Jiayu stared at the message for a few seconds, then looked up at Mu Ke tidying up in the kitchen.

On impulse, Jiayu lifted her phone and took a picture of Mu Ke’s back, then sent it to Xue Lu.

Five minutes later, Jiayu’s phone started buzzing madly. First came a bunch of voice messages from Xue Lu, and eventually, it seemed she got tired of the inefficiency of voice messages and directly called.

The first thing she said when the call was answered was: "Whoa, what’s going on? Did you guys skip the dating phase and move in together?"

Jiayu was startled by her and guiltily glanced to the side, quickly covering the phone and entering the room.

"No, no, don’t overthink it."

"Then what’s the situation? Why is Doctor Mu in your house? Wearing an apron? Could it be he’s cooking?"

Jiayu gently replied, "Mm," and Xue Lu exploded again: "Whoa, he can cook too? Earns money outside, cooks at home — what one in a hundred! More like one in ten thousand!"

At their age, it’s rare to be this excited. Xue Lu was so thrilled because Mu Ke really struck that soft nerve all women have, regardless of age.

But Jiayu didn’t let her stay excited, interrupting to tell the story of her fainting incident.

Xue Lu went silent for a moment, and Jiayu thought she was going to express pity for her, but after two minutes, she heard: "So... you were seen naked?"

"What?"

"You said you fainted while showering, right? If he came to the rescue, then didn’t he see you naked?"

Jiayu was dumbfounded; she hadn’t considered this issue. If Xue Lu hadn’t brought it up now, she truly wouldn’t have thought about it.

Whatever Xue Lu said next, Jiayu didn’t hear it, her mind buzzing. She had been seen naked? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she instinctively hung up, sitting on the bed for a long time, still unable to shake off the embarrassment.

She wasn’t being dramatic or blaming anyone.

In such circumstances, saving a life was the priority; those things truly didn’t matter, but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t embarrassed.

This was an embarrassment of epic proportions.

Jiayu hugged a pillow sitting by the bed. Thinking about the possible scenarios, Jiayu felt her cheeks fill with blood, and her head seemed to spin again.

When Mu Ke pushed the door open, this was the scene he saw. He reached out to turn on the light, eyebrows furrowed: "Feeling unwell again?"

He reached over to feel Jiayu’s forehead, but to his surprise, she shrank back like a frightened little bird, her eyes wary and bashful as she looked at him.
