When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 774: I Would Betray Anyone But Not Her (4)

He Xin’s temper flared up too, and the humiliation she had just received from Mu Ke had now turned into anger towards Sheng Jiayu.

She sniffed, steadied herself, and spoke coldly: "I don’t care what you’ve heard, but I can tell you directly that I do like Mu Ke. I’ve liked him since the first day I met him. You aren’t worthy of him. Do you know he stood in the operating room for five hours yesterday? Do you know he worked on two surgeries back-to-back yesterday, and what about you? Not only do you fail to understand him, but you also make him pick you up after he’s exhausted. How can someone as inconsiderate and immature as you deserve him?"

Sheng Jiayu frowned slightly. She had indeed heard everything. In fact, when she arrived, she saw He Xin hugging Mu Ke.

Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope. At that moment, Sheng Jiayu’s mind exploded, and she was frozen in place like a statue. Then she heard He Xin’s passionate confession, and of course, she also heard what Mu Ke said.

Words that lifted her from despair to the clouds in an instant.

Sheng Jiayu once never argued with Su Wan because, in front of Su Wan, she had no reason to argue. Xin Ke was always on Su Wan’s side. At that time, she was a moral victor, but in love, she was completely defeated.

But now it’s different. Did they really think Sheng Jiayu was easy to bully?

Did they really think anyone could trample on her and act high and mighty?

Sheng Jiayu withdrew her hand and spoke coldly: "Between Mu Ke and me, it’s not up to an outsider to comment. Does it matter if I’m inconsiderate or immature? Mu Ke likes it. And you, does being considerate and mature help you? Miss He, do you think you have the right to say whether my boyfriend and I are a good match? Even if I’m not worthy of him, at least I know how to respect him. And you? Do you think Mu Ke really needs your father’s help to get the director position? Do you think he can’t achieve it with his own ability?"

As soon as Sheng Jiayu finished speaking, the office door not far behind them opened. Mu Ke came out wearing a black down jacket. Upon seeing Sheng Jiayu, he paused, his eyes flicked between Sheng Jiayu and He Xin, and understood.

Mu Ke quickly walked over to Sheng Jiayu, wrapping an arm around her waist: "Why did you come over?"

Sheng Jiayu smiled, completely devoid of the sharpness and coldness she showed He Xin earlier, her tone gentle and soft: "Just wanted to come over." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Had lunch?"

"Not yet, was looking to eat with you."

"Okay."

The two of them walked away while talking, completely ignoring He Xin standing behind them.

Once they reached the hospital parking lot and got in the car, Mu Ke didn’t start the car right away but looked directly at Sheng Jiayu, who was looking at him too.

After several seconds of silence, Mu Ke spoke first: "Don’t misunderstand."

Sheng Jiayu smiled and shook her head: "No misunderstanding."

Mu Ke’s brows furrowed slightly, misunderstandings are naturally better if kept to a minimum, but if none existed at all, does it mean she totally doesn’t care?

Sheng Jiayu understood the meaning behind Mu Ke’s profound gaze, and her smile grew even brighter: "I would never betray anyone, let alone myself. Are you expecting I misunderstand you meant something else just to catch you lying?"

With a hint of playfulness in her tone, Sheng Jiayu’s eyes squinted slightly. Mu Ke leaned in and kissed her on the lips, his voice low: "Really, truer than pearls."
