When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 713: Is This What Love Feels Like? (3)

Mu Ke’s tall figure stood right in the middle of the first floor, his gaze lightly sweeping over everything in the book bar. Sheng Jiayu stepped forward, "Parked the car?"

"Yeah."

Just then, the two young girls who were tidying up came downstairs. They were stunned when they saw Sheng Jiayu, looking familiar with the "handsome guy" they mentioned.

Sheng Jiayu took Mu Ke to sit in a corner and ordered two cups of fruit tea.

Mu Ke got up to go to the bathroom. One of the young girls, who had been gossiping, came over with the fruit tea and couldn’t help but ask, "Sister Yu, is that your boyfriend?"

The girl’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, pure curiosity. Sheng Jiayu smiled, looking in the direction Mu Ke had disappeared, and pursed her lips, "Yeah, boyfriend."

The girl nodded knowingly, speaking with sincerity and a bit of flattery, "Sister Yu, you two really match. Handsome guy with a beautiful girl."

Sheng Jiayu chuckled with a hint of reproach, "Alright, go about your business, don’t gossip."

The girl walked away cheerfully, but Sheng Jiayu felt a bit dazed. Honestly, she had never really said "XX is my boyfriend" about anyone before.

Because Xin Ke didn’t like it, he was always introduced as a "friend." Later, when they got married, Xin Ke introduced her mostly by name, only she would foolishly say, "This is my husband."

Sheng Jiayu shook her head, wondering why she was thinking about those things again. It’s all in the past, nothing worth dwelling on.

As the boss, Sheng Jiayu stayed in the book bar all day, and Mu Ke accompanied her the whole time. Technically it should have been boring, but oddly enough, it wasn’t.

"Xue Lu asked us out for dinner tonight, care to join?"

"Okay."

Xue Lu purposely avoided Sheng Jianan and them yesterday and arranged for tonight. The place was also booked by Xue Lu. Mu Ke and Sheng Jiayu encountered some traffic and were a few minutes late.

When they pushed open the private room door and entered, they saw Xue Lu and Chen Xueli already seated inside. Seeing Mu Ke come in, Xue Lu teased, "Oh my, Doctor Mu actually has time to come to dinner today? That’s rare."

Mu Ke didn’t respond to her words, just nodded lightly, as a greeting.

His demeanor had always been indifferent and proud. Xue Lu and Chen Xueli were used to it, and Mu Ke’s affection for Sheng Jiayu was obvious, so it wasn’t surprising to see him appear with her.

But what happened next made Xue Lu’s eyes widen.

They were eating hotpot, and whatever Mu Ke cooked, the first bite was always for Sheng Jiayu. His movements were graceful, his appearance striking, exuding affection with every gesture.

Especially those cool and indifferent eyes, which had nothing to do with "cool" when they met Sheng Jiayu’s.

And Sheng Jiayu?

At first, she was a bit embarrassed, but later she found that everything Mu Ke cooked, be it meat slices or duck intestines, was just perfect, not over or undercooked, and tasted great. So, she let him do as he liked.

Xue Lu, sitting across from them, quietly tugged at Chen Xueli’s sleeve, signaling him to take a look.

Although Chen Xueli was a bit slow, he understood his wife’s meaning instantly thanks to their great rapport.

He nodded almost imperceptibly at Xue Lu, meaning: You’re right, there’s something going on between these two.

Halfway through the meal, Xue Lu stood up, "Jiayu, want to go to the restroom?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

It seems women always like to go in pairs, whether it’s necessary or not.
