Chapter 807: Because of You, I Look Forward to Marriage (7)
Sheng Jiayu rolled her eyes at him: "Doctor Mu, do you realize how smug you look right now?"
Mu Ke looked at the road ahead, slightly smiling: "Shouldn’t I be smug? I just succeeded in proposing."
"You..."
Sheng Jiayu suddenly didn’t know how to respond; there was no way to continue this conversation.
Back at the villa, Xu Qingru had intentionally given them some time and space, but Sheng Jiayu didn’t know what to do, so she leaned on Mu Ke’s leg and played on her phone, sending a message about Mu Ke’s proposal last night to Xue Lu and Tang Yanqi.
Tang Yanqi replied the fastest: [Congratulations]
Xue Lu took a while before she replied: [Ahhhhhhhhh...]
[Didn’t they say Doctor Mu was the abstinent type? What kind of dog-torture is this on New Year’s Eve? Damn, damn, damn, I want to stuff Chen Xueli back into his mom’s belly to be remade.]
Sheng Jiayu laughed at her friend’s message, and soon, Xue Lu’s call came in.
Of course, she knew what Xue Lu was going to say when she called at such a time. Those things shouldn’t be said in front of Mu Ke, so Sheng Jiayu got up, went upstairs, and only answered the call once she was back in her room.
"Hello?"
As expected, Xue Lu started with a roar before speaking seriously: "Have you thought it through?"
Sheng Jiayu twirled the curtain fabric with her finger, lightly nodded: "Yeah."
"That’s right, congratulations. Doctor Mu is definitely reliable, you’ll definitely be happy."
"Yeah."
Xue Lu said a few more things, then suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, has that scumbag looked for you recently?"
"Huh? Why?"
Xue Lu was silent for two seconds before saying: "He wants to divorce Su Wan and even said he was going to sue. It’s true, the situation is quite a mess, though I guess you haven’t been paying attention. It’s not made public, but everyone in our circle knows. That woman Su Wan, she’s something. She has quite a bit of dirt on Xin Ke too, but Xue Li said it was all set up."
"Set up?"
"Yeah, some things were orchestrated by Su Wan, but she made Xin Ke take the blame. It’s complicated, but whatever happens, you have Doctor Mu now. Don’t mess this up, that scumbag has nothing to do with you anymore, understand?"
Sheng Jiayu furrowed her brows as she listened. She could roughly guess what Xue Lu was talking about. Xin Ke isn’t an idiot, how could he be played around by a woman like that?
Sheng Jiayu chuckled coldly at the thought that, in the end, it was because he really liked Su Wan, so he let his guard down completely, right?
Back when they were together, Xin Ke knew she wasn’t interested in his money, yet he still guarded against her. Sheng Jiayu saw it but consoled herself at the time, thinking it was just Xin Ke seeking a sense of security.
Now thinking back, she realized just how foolish she had been.
"He approached me, just yesterday."
"What?"
"But I didn’t see him."
Xue Lu sighed with relief: "That’s right, lucky you didn’t go. Otherwise, it would have been so unfair to Doctor Mu’s good intentions."
Sheng Jiayu’s lips curved into a smile. Yes, she wouldn’t degrade herself anymore. Her future was only with Mu Ke, only him.
After staying at the Xu Family’s Old Mansion with Mu Ke for two days, they set off for S City. Sheng Jiayu felt a bit nervous and asked Mu Ke about his family’s preferences, preparing lots of gifts.
