When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 740: A Good Horse Doesn’t Turn Back to Graze (Part 10)

Having tidied herself up, she found a pretty dress to change into, paired below with black tights. The dress had a woolen texture, lacking the flowy feel of a summer dress, but it looked intellectual and elegant, and Jiayu liked it very much.

Although in front of Mu Ke, he had seen her looking ugly countless times, today for some reason she just didn’t want him to see her with messy long hair and wearing home clothes.

As Jiayu went out, Mu Ke was still on a phone call, standing by the living room’s floor-to-ceiling window, his back facing her, his voice carrying the familiar cold tone.

"Hmm, I’ll return home before New Year’s Eve... she’s not coming back with me, it’s not the time yet... let’s talk about it after this matter."

It seemed that through the reflection in the glass, seeing the person standing behind, Mu Ke turned his head to glance at her and said to the person on the other end of the call, "Let’s leave it at that, I have something else to do, hanging up now."

After speaking, he hung up the call without any hesitation.

"Awake?"

Jiayu nodded, thinking about the words she had just heard. Mu Ke’s "she" presumably referred to herself, right?

"Just now, was it your family calling?"

"Yes, they were asking about my plans to return home for the New Year."

Indeed, after New Year’s Day, Spring Festival was approaching. Of course, Mu Ke was going back to S City.

Jiayu frowned slightly, why did she feel like she had forgotten something, what was it?

Trying to recall carefully, she couldn’t remember, so Jiayu stopped thinking about it.

Mu Ke had already walked up to her: "I made breakfast, but it’s already cold. What do you want for lunch? Should we eat out or cook at home?"

While in the bathroom, Jiayu called her mother and explained why she left yesterday. She didn’t hide anything from Xu Qingru, inevitably getting a scolding from her. Xu Qingru told her not to come over for the next few days and to make sure to explain things well to Mu Ke.

Jiayu could understand her mother’s intentions, essentially not wanting her to lose Mu Ke’s affection due to her own actions.

In the past, Xu Qingru’s remarks would have made her feel very offended, but now, she not only doesn’t feel that way, she actually thinks her mother makes sense.

Upon hearing Mu Ke’s words, Jiayu didn’t hesitate at all and directly replied, "Let’s eat at home."

Mu Ke chuckled lightly: "Alright, I’ll go to the supermarket."

"Why go to the supermarket?"

Mu Ke had already walked to the entrance to change shoes. Hearing this, he turned back, with a playful glint in his cool eyes, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Xiao Yu, do you think there’s food in your fridge?"

Jiayu: "..."

Pretend she didn’t ask.

Jiayu went along too: "I’ll go with you."

"Okay."

Jiayu’s apartment was in a mature community, conveniently located, with a large supermarket not far from the residential area, even without needing to drive.

Mu Ke walked behind her, pushing a shopping cart. Jiayu used to come to the supermarket often since she was still Xin Ke’s wife at that time, and she was always trying hard to be a good wife.

But after getting divorced, she didn’t come as often.

Arriving at the fresh meat counter, Jiayu looked at the raw meat, completely clueless, whereas Mu Ke leisurely walked to the counter, scanned the meat with his eyes, then turned to look at Jiayu, "Boiled beef?"

Jiayu’s eyes lit up, and she nodded immediately, she loved it.

Mu Ke picked a piece and handed it over for weighing, then went around to buy some chicken wings.
