When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 717: Is This What Love Feels Like? (7)
Mu Ke never crossed any lines, apart from the kiss that Sheng Jiayu initiated on Christmas, he would always just take her home and plant a goodnight kiss on her forehead.
This made Sheng Jiayu feel very respected, but at the same time, she felt that they didn’t really seem like they were dating.
It’s very calm, yet this calmness made her feel very comfortable.
New Year’s Day was approaching quickly, and Sheng Jiayu had agreed with Xu Qingru that she would go home to spend it together. She initially planned to spend the New Year’s Eve with Mu Ke and then go back home early the next morning.
Plans can never keep up with changes.
On the afternoon of the thirty-first, Sheng Jiayu gave a few instructions at the book café. Although it had only opened for a few days, people still needed their holiday. Sheng Jiayu generously prepared red envelopes for everyone there.
Mu Ke was quietly sitting in the corner reading a book. Around five o’clock, his phone rang.
During this time, Mu Ke had been on vacation and hadn’t been to the hospital, but now upon receiving the call, his clear brows instantly knitted together.
There was a bit of gravity in his eyes as he stood up and whispered a few words into Sheng Jiayu’s ear.
Technically, Mu Ke belonged to the City First Hospital, but due to his status and abilities, he frequently traveled between major hospitals as an external doctor assisting them with surgeries.
In a few high-caliber private hospitals in B City, Mu Ke had a few exclusive patients, and now one of them suddenly had an issue.
Of course, Sheng Jiayu wouldn’t blame him for anything, it’s just New Year’s Eve after all, something that only became popular in recent years. In the past, they never paid attention to it.
Knowing that Mu Ke’s surgery would definitely take a long time, and he would need to rest after the surgery, there was no way they could meet tonight. Sheng Jiayu simply called Xu Qingru, saying she would go back after dinner.
Firstly, because if she set out now to head back to the Xu Family’s Old Mansion, it would be quite late, and if she said she’d go back to eat, Xu Qingru would definitely wait for her. Her mother was getting older, and Sheng Jiayu didn’t want her to wait. Secondly, Chen Xueli was on a business trip, and Xue Lu invited her to have dinner and celebrate New Year’s Eve together.
The two of them went to a Sichuan restaurant they often visited before, located near the CBD.
As soon as Xue Lu saw Sheng Jiayu, she teased, "Oh wow, it’s only been a few days and look at you, so refreshed and glowing. Sure enough, a woman nurtured by love is different."
Sheng Jiayu ignored her friend’s teasing and tossed the menu in front of her: "Order."
Xue Lu was not about to miss such a good gossip opportunity. She flipped through the menu, blinking her eyes like stars: "So, how is it? Is Doctor Mu especially amazing? Huh?"
Xue Lu’s smile was meaningful, but Sheng Jiayu didn’t catch on for a moment, wondering what she meant by "especially amazing."
She dumbly nodded, just about to say something when she suddenly realized and threw a napkin at Xue Lu’s face: "You’re already a mother of two, could you be a bit more reserved? Talking so raunchy, be careful lest you misguide the young ones."
Xue Lu laughed brightly: "What’s the big deal, we are all adults here. This kind of thing is very important, alright?"
Sheng Jiayu glared at her: "Boring."
Xue Lu laughed even harder, clearly having misunderstood something. Sheng Jiayu couldn’t be bothered to explain. Come on, she and Mu Ke had only been together for a week. Even in a mature adult relationship, a week for that kind of thing is too fast, right? Besides, Mu Ke never brought it up, and he exuded an aura of celibacy, having nothing to do with those sorts of matters, okay?
