When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 682: Are You Avoiding Me? (Part 2)

Mu Ke sat in his position for a while, then stood up, took off his white coat, grabbed a jacket casually, and left.

Rushing hurriedly all the way to Sheng Jiayu’s apartment, he knocked on the door but no one answered. He swiped his fingerprint to enter, but there was no one inside, only unfinished porridge and unwashed bowls showing signs of recent activity.

Mu Ke pulled out his phone again to call Sheng Jiayu, but this time, the phone was directly turned off.

His brows furrowed. Wasn’t everything fine last night? What happened now?

Unable to find Sheng Jiayu, Mu Ke knew she was a grown adult and wouldn’t get into trouble, but he still felt a vague unease in his heart.

The hospital called again, asking where he was and reminding him not to miss the afternoon meeting.

He heated up the leftover porridge and ate a bit absent-mindedly, sent a message to Sheng Jiayu, and rushed back to the hospital.

However, what he didn’t expect was that even after he finished the meeting, there was still no news from Sheng Jiayu, and her phone remained turned off.

Mu Ke was completely unsettled.

"Doctor Mu, there’s a department dinner tonight, want to join?"

A colleague came over and patted him on the shoulder from behind. Mu Ke quietly avoided him and said, "No, I have something to do, I’ll leave first." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Hey, Mu..."

Mu Ke wasn’t indifferent to social norms; he just never paid attention to them and wouldn’t attend any gatherings, which made him seem unsociable. However, his impeccable professional skills spoke for themselves.

With Mu Ke’s capabilities, there was no need to settle for a position here, but since he was here, City First Hospital treated him like a deity, and those who faced his cold demeanor dared not complain.

Fortunately, although Mu Ke had a cold personality, he had a good temper. If you approached him with a professional problem, he generally wouldn’t refuse and wasn’t arrogant to the point of looking down on others, which helped his relationships not be too poor.

Leaving the hospital, Mu Ke got into his car, called Sheng Jiayu again, and found the phone still off. Mu Ke pressed his lips together and dialed another number.

The call quickly connected: "Hello, this is Mu Ke, may I speak with Aunt?"

"The madam is practicing calligraphy, Doctor Mu, please wait a moment."

The call was made to the Xu Family’s Old Mansion. Xu Qingru had been resting and recovering well. Upon receiving Mu Ke’s call, her voice was gentle and tinged with a smile: "Little Mu, is there something you need from me?"

"Aunt, I wanted to ask about the medicine I gave you before. How do you feel?"

"Pretty good, thank you for your concern."

"It’s my duty. When you’re about to finish it, just let me know, and I’ll deliver it to Miss Sheng."

"I wouldn’t want to trouble you. I’ll have Jiayu pick it up from you."

"It’s no trouble; Miss Sheng has been quite busy lately, and it’s something I should do."

"Yes, that child has flown to Europe again, saying there’s something to take care of. She’s restless all day long."

Xu Qingru casually lamented, and Mu Ke listened intently, frowning: flying to Europe?

So, she had her phone off all day because she was on a plane?

Actually, Mu Ke also knew, with Sheng Jiayu’s forehead injury, she couldn’t possibly return to the old mansion now to worry Xu Qingru. He made this call just to confirm.

Mu Ke leaned back in the car seat, his gaze cold and aloof.

A top student in psychology, with a bit of analysis, could easily understand the psychological journey of another.

They kissed last night, and this morning, she disappeared, running so far away.

She was avoiding him!
