When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 782: Season of Love (2)

After having breakfast in the apartment, Sheng Jiayu and Mu Ke went to take a look at the book bar. There were no issues, but Mu Ke received a call from the hospital and had to leave. As the year-end approached, things seemed particularly busy.

After parting with Mu Ke, Sheng Jiayu returned to the Xu Family’s Old Mansion. The two little ones were still beside Xu Qingru, making her exceptionally happy. Her mood brightened even more when she saw Sheng Jiayu return.

"Mom, you really like kids that much, huh?"

Xu Qingru was always elegant and composed, exuding a gentle and cultured aura. It was rare for her to be as delighted as she was now, which showed just how much she truly adored Su Weiyi and Little Tangdou.

Xu Qingru smiled, "Xiao Yi and Little Tangdou are both very cute. How could I not like them? They’re Jianan’s children, so they’re like grandchildren to me. There’s a special kind of affection for the next generation."

Sheng Jiayu keenly picked up on a hint of regret in Xu Qingru’s tone when she said, "They’re Jianan’s children."

Xu Qingru had no objections to Sheng Jianan. In fact, she admired him greatly, but ultimately, Sheng Jianan’s mother had caused her immense pain.

She did not mind Sheng Jianan due to her upbringing, but ultimately, Sheng Jiayu was her biological child. To treat them completely equally would be too demanding.

With a sudden impulse, Sheng Jiayu spoke before thinking, "How about I have a baby for you to play with?"

As soon as she said it, she was stunned, and Xu Qingru’s eyes lit up with undisguised anticipation, making Sheng Jiayu feel dazzled.

Unbidden, she thought of Mu Ke. If she and Mu Ke had a child, wouldn’t it be wonderful?

Sheng Jiayu calmed down, reaching out to hold Xu Qingru’s hand and spoke earnestly, "Mom, Mu Ke has already introduced me to his family. I believe if I want to, we can marry soon, and then I’ll have a child. What do you think?"

The light in Xu Qingru’s eyes gradually faded, returning to calmness. Liking children was one thing; marriage was another.

Xu Qingru patted Sheng Jiayu’s hand, "Little Mu is a good person. His feelings for you are clear to see, but Jiayu, you are my daughter. Selfishly, I want you to be happy. I don’t want you to go through life alone, but I more so hope you’ll marry someone who loves you and whom you love. Don’t feel pressured because of me."

Sheng Jiayu understood the implication within Xu Qingru’s words. She was merely worried that being with Mu Ke was out of pressure and expectation from Xu Qingru, which could cloud her judgment.

Sheng Jiayu smiled gently, "Mom, I like him, really like him."

A smile finally reappeared in Xu Qingru’s eyes, "Good, that’s good."

In the afternoon, around three o’clock, Sheng Jiayu received a message from Mu Ke. He had a surgery scheduled, which would take about three hours. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

This was Mu Ke’s usual habit. He would almost always inform Sheng Jiayu before each surgery.

The profession of a doctor was very demanding, often leaving them unable to take calls from their partners. Many relationships had ended for male doctors because of this. Although Sheng Jiayu was not clingy, Mu Ke still reported in every time.

At that moment, Sheng Jiayu was sending the two little ones back to Lake Bay Villa. Although Xu Qingru loved them dearly, perhaps due to being a mother herself, she didn’t want the children to be separated from their parents for too long.

Sheng Jianan and Tang Yanqi were both at work and not home, only Mrs. Zhang and the two servants were present.
