Chapter 805: Because of You, I Look Forward to Marriage (5)
When Sheng Jiayu woke up, it was already past ten in the morning. As soon as she moved her body, it ached all over. She could see her chest covered with little red marks when she looked down slightly.
Sheng Jiayu’s cheeks flushed red instantly. Unavoidably, her mind recalled their madness from last night. Mu Ke proposed, then they watched the fireworks together, and after that... it was unsuitable for children.
With a face as red as a tomato, Sheng Jiayu slowly got out of bed to wash up.
While brushing her teeth, she suddenly remembered something and quickly cleaned up before running downstairs. As she reached the corner of the stairs, she saw Xu Qingru coming in from outside.
Seeing her, Xu Qingru chided, "What are you doing? Being so clumsy at your age."
Sheng Jiayu’s eyes darted around, unsure if her mother knew that Mu Ke had come over, and where Mu Ke was now.
Sheng Jiayu smiled awkwardly, "Mom, Happy New Year... Happy New Year."
Xu Qingru seemed to have been out, as she took off her gloves and scarf, hanging them on the coat rack, then turned back to Sheng Jiayu, "Aren’t you coming down for breakfast? Little Mu got up early to make it, unlike your laziness."
Sheng Jiayu’s face turned even redder. Mu Ke actually got up to make breakfast? Oh no, doesn’t this clearly tell Xu Qingru he spent the night here?
She slowly moved to the dining table, and Xu Qingru had already brought out the hot porridge from the kitchen.
Sheng Jiayu took a sip; it indeed tasted like Mu Ke’s cooking.
"Where is he?"
Actually, Xu Qingru wasn’t an old-fashioned mother. Even if Mu Ke stayed over last night, Xu Qingru might be surprised but wouldn’t get angry or anything like that. But for some reason, Sheng Jiayu still felt very embarrassed.
"Little Mu went back to get some clothes to change into. He’ll be back soon."
Clothes to change into!!!
He’s treating this place like his home?
Sheng Jiayu felt even more embarrassed, but Xu Qingru suddenly grabbed her hand, and Sheng Jiayu was startled, seeing her mother looking at the diamond ring on her hand.
Sheng Jiayu’s cheeks heated up again, and a slight sweetness rose in her heart—shy and a little sweet.
"Little Mu already told me. Why are you still shy in front of your mother? Jiayu, I really approve of Little Mu. I believe he can treat you well for a lifetime."
Xu Qingru’s sudden seriousness greatly eased Sheng Jiayu’s embarrassment. She also looked up at her mother and nodded seriously, "Yes, I believe it."
Xu Qingru glanced at the diamond ring again and sighed, "Jiayu, from the moment you were born, you were destined to be different from others. Although you didn’t have a father’s love, your grandfather never treated you poorly. Initially, he actually discussed with me about having you and Jianan each inherit half of the Shengshi Group. It was I who declined."
Sheng Jiayu nodded. She knew about this. At that time, they were still young, and although most of the Shengshi Group’s shares were in the hands of the Sheng Family, a significant portion was still with outsiders.
Later, the reason why Shengshi Group had as much as eighty percent of its shares in the hands of the Sheng Family was thanks to Sheng Jianan. Sheng Jiayu never felt there was anything imbalanced about it.
Her grandfather never treated her poorly, and her brother even less so.
"But even so, in terms of material things, you’ve always had more than others since childhood. Tell Little Mu that a simple marriage is good. There’s no need to make it extravagant just because it’s you; it’s unnecessary."
