When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 787: Season of Love (7)

Pro...Proposal?

Sheng Jiayu almost bit her tongue, um... maybe that’s not necessary?

They’re not that young anymore, doing that sort of thing... It sounds romantic, but there’s no need.

Xu Qingru saw the stunned look on her daughter’s face and Mu Ke’s serious expression, and she smiled with satisfaction, "Alright, you young people can handle it yourselves. Little Mu, I trust you."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Ever since his relationship with Sheng Jiayu became official, Mu Ke had changed the way he addressed Xu Qingru.

Sheng Jiayu watched their exchange from the side, hey, isn’t she the main character here?

Mu Ke didn’t wait until his holiday to return to S City, but instead went back two days early. Sheng Jiayu didn’t ask for specific reasons; she was a mature woman who knew to give her boyfriend plenty of freedom. Besides, Mu Ke was going home, not off to meet other women.

The night before their parting, they had dinner at the Xu Family’s Old Mansion. Xu Qingru wasn’t in the best health, so she didn’t chat much and retired early.

Due to Xu Qingru’s invitation and his relationship with Sheng Jiayu, Mu Ke didn’t return to his apartment as he used to but stayed at the Xu Family’s place.

Past ten at night, the two of them were walking slowly along the small path outside.

Sheng Jiayu wore a white down jacket, her hair tucked under her hat, making her look like a fluffy bundle.

Mu Ke wore a black down jacket. As they walked along the path, Sheng Jiayu suddenly laughed, "Do you think we look like an Oreo cookie?"

Mu Ke disagreed and frowned, "Who compares people to cookies? Miss Sheng, your rhetorical skills need improvement."

Sheng Jiayu pouted, "Then what do you think we look like?"

While they talked, they had stopped under a streetlamp. The light poured down from above, illuminating Sheng Jiayu’s face warmly and softly, her eyes clear and bright. Mu Ke stood in the shadows, with most of his face hidden, except for his eyes, which seemed to shine more brilliantly, radiant and captivating.

Sheng Jiayu’s heart suddenly warmed; she never thought of herself as a naive girl, but recently she found that, facing Mu Ke, she could hear flowers blooming in her heart.

Like the simple way he wore a cotton T-shirt, his hair damp, or the way he would lift her effortlessly when he saw her walking barefoot.

And now, the way he was looking at her intently, composed and subtle.

Without knowing when, it had started to snow. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

This winter in B City had been exceptionally cold, and it was snowing again.

Streetlights, snowflakes, you and me... What a beautiful scene.

However, this beauty didn’t last long before it was ruined by an utterly inappropriate comparison.

"Like Black and White Impermanence, you’re the white, and I’m the black."

Sheng Jiayu: "...!"

Comparing people to cookies was inappropriate, but comparing them to Black and White Impermanence was fine?

Come on, Doctor Mu, your rhetorical skills need improvement, okay?

No, they need to be completely retrained.

What a terrible comparison!

Sheng Jiayu glared at him and countered, "Black and White Impermanence has long tongues, do you have one?"

Saying that, she stuck out her own tongue, "Uh... like this..."

Before she could finish, her tongue was pulled into his mouth, hers cool, his warm, lips and teeth intertwined.

Her heart suddenly clenched, and a snowflake landed on Sheng Jiayu’s eyelash as she slowly closed her eyes.

This winter was very cold, but to her, it felt as warm as midsummer. This is the season for love!
