Chapter 804: Because of You, I Look Forward to Marriage (4)
On the morning of the first day, the whole city was basking in the laziness of the Spring Festival holiday.
Xu Qingru woke up early, glanced at Sheng Jiayu’s tightly closed room door, and slowly walked downstairs. Just as she was about to turn into the living room, she heard a "click" sound coming from the kitchen.
Xu Qingru was a bit surprised, Jiayu was up so early?
"Jiayu? What are you doing?"
From a few steps away, Xu Qingru asked, and soon footsteps came from the other side. When the person stood outside the kitchen, holding a spatula, Xu Qingru was stunned.
"Little Mu? Why are you here?"
Mu Ke was wearing a white apron; under his neat trousers, his bare feet were stepping on the ground.
"Good morning, Aunt. Breakfast will be ready soon, please wait for me for two minutes."
Mu Ke was cooking vegetable porridge and fried two small fish fillets to serve.
Xu Qingru sat down at the dining table, watching Mu Ke’s skilled movements, feeling somewhat surprised. Nowadays, there are only a few girls who can cook, let alone men.
She gently sipped the porridge, the seasoning was just right, very refreshing.
"I heard from Xiao Yu that you like to drink porridge, I wonder if this suits your taste?"
Xu Qingru smiled slightly, "It’s great, but you still haven’t answered me, why are you here? Yesterday was New Year’s Eve, didn’t you spend it with your family?"
Mu Ke sincerely raised his head, looking steadily at Xu Qingru, "Yesterday at home, I impulsively wanted to see her, so I came over. It’s quite bold, I hope you can forgive me."
After saying this, Mu Ke paused for a second and spoke more sincerely, "Aunt, I proposed to Xiao Yu. This should have been reported to you first, very sorry for the suddenness yesterday."
Xu Qingru was taken aback, but she soon recovered and smiled, "This is a matter for you young people, no need to report to me. I still say the same, I can see your feelings for Jiayu. I trust you’ll treat her well, that’s enough for me. She’s my only daughter, as long as she’s happy, nothing else matters to me."
"Thank you, Aunt."
"But you came on New Year’s Eve, didn’t your family mind?"
Mu Ke’s expression relaxed a lot, "No, they didn’t mind; I promised them to bring Xiao Yu over in a couple of days."
Xu Qingru was only concerned that Mu Ke’s family might have opinions about Sheng Jiayu, but hearing Mu Ke say this, her heart completely relaxed, "Yes, that’s right, you planned it well."
The two silently ate breakfast, and as soon as Xu Qingru put down her spoon and chopsticks, Mu Ke stood up, "I’ll clean up."
Xu Qingru didn’t stand on ceremony with him. As usual, she generally had a little exercise in the yard after breakfast, so she got up and went outside. As she was about to reach the entrance hall, she turned back to look at Mu Ke’s back, a satisfied smile appeared on Xu Qingru’s face.
She is a smart woman; she understands many things clearly.
This breakfast porridge matter must have been told to Mu Ke by Sheng Jiayu, along with when she usually woke up.
She knew her daughter well; Sheng Jiayu wouldn’t say this actively, obviously it was something Mu Ke had asked about, knowing that she wouldn’t oppose them, and yet being so attentive towards her.
So how could he not be good to Sheng Jiayu?
The more Xu Qingru looked, the more satisfied she felt, her smile deepened quite a bit.
Compared to yesterday, even today’s weather felt better.
Just as Xu Qingru thought, Sheng Jiayu had no thoughts about these things at all; last night before sleep, Mu Ke just casually asked, and she casually answered. At the time, she was too sleepy to remember what she said.
