When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 795: New Year’s Gift (Part 5)

Before Mu Ke could reach out to grab it, Mu Xin had already picked it up first and answered decisively: "Hello, who is this?"

On the other end, Sheng Jiayu paused slightly, took the phone down to confirm she hadn’t dialed the wrong number, then pursed her lips and spoke: "Hello, I’m looking for Mu Ke."

Calling her boyfriend and having a woman pick up the phone, this feeling was not right, but Sheng Jiayu thought, maybe it’s Mu Ke’s relative, like a cousin.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a clear voice on the other end: "Hello, sister-in-law, I’m Mu Xin. My brother is driving right now. Hold on, I’ll put it to his ear."

In the course of speaking, as they hit a red light, Mu Ke took the phone directly, giving Mu Xin a cold glance, the meaning being: busybody.

Mu Xin beamed even brighter, as Mu Ke withdrew his gaze, his tone softening incredibly: "Have you finished eating?"

Mu Xin watched as Mu Ke called Sheng Jiayu. As the light changed, Mu Ke slowly started the car and casually put the phone in his pocket.

"Hehe..."

Mu Xin laughed suggestively: "Bro, do you really like that sister?"

"Hmm?"

"I saw pink bubbles around you when you were on the phone. I’ve never seen you like this before, am I really going to have a sister-in-law soon?"

Thinking of Sheng Jiayu, a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of Mu Ke’s mouth, and his gaze towards Mu Xin grew even gentler: "What do you think?"

Mu Xin was stunned, then stomped her foot in a mad way: "Geez, bro, what’s with that smug face? It’s so flirty, I’m your sister. You’re so flirty, does sister-in-law know?"

Mu Ke’s smile deepened.

Does she know?

Maybe!

B City, Xu Family’s Old Mansion.

Since hanging up the phone with Mu Ke, Sheng Jiayu’s ears had been red. Supporting Xu Qingru, she went for a walk, and the mother and daughter talked for a long time.

After nine at night, Xu Qingru went to rest, and only then did Sheng Jiayu return to her room and take a shower.

She glanced at the hairdryer on the side, resisted a moment, but still couldn’t resist laziness, picked it up and slowly started drying her hair.

When she was in the mood, she’d blow dry her hair; most times, she let it dry naturally, but often it wasn’t dry before she got too sleepy and went to bed, causing her to wake up with a terrible headache the next morning.

But when Mu Ke was around, he would always make sure her hair was dry.

Sheng Jiayu thought, he took such good care of her, and now that he’s temporarily away, how could she not take good care of herself?

Drying her hair, Sheng Jiayu suddenly smiled. It seemed like it was the first time she had such a thought.

Because of one person, she wanted to take good care of herself, so he wouldn’t worry.

Just as her hair was almost dry, a message from Mu Ke arrived. This was their agreed routine, a video call before bed.

Mu Ke had brought his father back, chatted with his parents for a while, went back, took a shower, and just sat down, wearing a dark grey cotton T-shirt, with water droplets still in his hair.

Wanting to video call just to see each other, in fact, they called three times a day, having just separated, there wasn’t much to discuss really.

This was Sheng Jiayu’s first time video calling with a romantic interest, and it felt a bit subtle, a bit awkward, and a bit shy.

After holding it in for a while, Sheng Jiayu started to make small talk: "Was it your sister who answered the phone today?"
