When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 714: Is This What Being in Love Feels Like? (Part 4)

Sheng Jiayu nodded and stood up: "Mm, let’s go."

As soon as the two of them came out of the private room, Xue Lu hooked Sheng Jiayu by the neck: "Jiayu, be honest, you and Doctor Mu... are you, huh?"

Sheng Jiayu broke free from Xue Lu’s grip, didn’t deny it, and nodded: "Mm, we’re together."

"Whoa, since when?"

"Last night."

Xue Lu was momentarily stunned, then nodded: "You finally figured it out, that’s so damn rare."

Sheng Jiayu smiled: "Yeah, let’s give it a try, who knows what the future holds?"

"That’s the right way to think! Trust me, Mu Ke is absolutely sincere with you. You don’t even know how much PDA I was forced to endure sitting opposite you just now. Doctor Mu, I’ve heard about him from Xue Li before I even met him—he’s like a man on an iceberg, so cold and aloof. Look at him just now, serving you food and pouring your tea, it stirred up my girlish heart!"

Sheng Jiayu rolled her eyes at Xue Lu: "Hey, you’re exaggerating."

"No way, can’t exaggerate that."

The two of them joked as they walked toward the restroom. Sheng Jiayu stood at the sink washing her hands and thought about Xue Lu’s words. She had a point. It seemed like she hadn’t even lifted a finger, Mu Ke had everything prepared for her.

Sheng Jiayu couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.

After the meal, Sheng Jiayu was so full that she couldn’t move. When leaving the restaurant, Xue Lu sternly declared she didn’t want to be fed more PDA and decisively dragged her husband home.

The night was already dark, Mu Ke turned to Sheng Jiayu: "Want to go anywhere else? Or back home?"

Sheng Jiayu looked up at the sky above. Although it was dark, it wasn’t actually late. She shook her head: "I don’t want to go back yet. It’s sort of a holiday today, should we go for a walk somewhere?"

Mu Ke nodded but quickly frowned.

He didn’t have any dating experience and didn’t know where to go. He quickly recalled what his friends usually did on dates.

After ruling out hiking, swimming, and working out, Mu Ke picked the most cliché but safe option: "Shall we go watch a movie?"

Christmas dinner and a movie seemed like a typical couple’s activity.

Sheng Jiayu didn’t really have experience in this area either, so she nodded: "Alright."

They walked to the cinema entrance, where it was crowded with people. Mu Ke pulled Sheng Jiayu aside: "Wait for me."

He then dived into the crowd. On Christmas, it was hard to get a movie ticket, but it wasn’t about the movie; it was the atmosphere that mattered.

Sheng Jiayu watched Mu Ke disappear into the crowd, feeling a bit regretful. Mu Ke didn’t like crowds, and neither did she. Choosing to watch a movie at this time seemed like the wrong choice.

Besides, with so many people and no advance booking, could they really get tickets?

After about twenty minutes, Mu Ke emerged from the crowd with two tickets in hand: "Let’s go."

"You actually got tickets?"

Mu Ke pointed to some people standing beside the ticket counter: "From them."

Sheng Jiayu realized—they were scalped tickets.

Mu Ke had bought tickets to a 3D sci-fi movie, which was one of the more well-received films recently. The ticket price was 80 each, but Mu Ke’s...

Sheng Jiayu opened her mouth to ask, hesitated for two seconds, and decided to keep quiet—no need to ruin the mood.
