Chapter 811: I Only Want to Marry Her (1)
Jiayu followed Mu Ke for a walk outside, and by the time they returned to the Mu Family home, it was almost dinner time. She couldn’t shake the feeling that the atmosphere seemed a bit different from when they had left.
Dinner was well prepared by Ms. Wang, and Jiayu took out the gifts one by one that she had brought for them. Except for Mu Xin, she didn’t see any smiles on their faces; only a polite and distant curve at the corners of their mouths.
Jiayu also distinctly felt Mr. Mu’s deference towards her.
Today, she heard from Mu Ke about their family’s situation. Mr. Mu had an early career in politics, later switched to business, and achieved some success. After the age of thirty-five, he merged his company with a large foreign enterprise and then focused on investments.
Meanwhile, Ms. Wang pursued her studies all the way to a PhD, holding dual doctorates, and later stayed on to teach, deeply immersed in academia.
Their relationship was very good, and Mu Ke’s name also originated from his mother since her name was Wang Ke. Even before he was born, Mr. Mu had decided on his name, Mu Ke.
Although Mr. Mu was the economic pillar of the family, perhaps due to Ms. Wang’s personality and profession, she always had the demeanor of a professor, both at home and outside.
Mr. Mu indulged her greatly, so in the Mu Family, Ms. Wang was the one who primarily made the decisions. Over time, it made Mr. Mu seem a bit weak, but he didn’t mind, as long as his wife was happy.
This kind of family environment made Jiayu very envious. Originally, she hadn’t thought much about it, but after hearing what Mu Ke had to say, she had a strong feeling that this home would make her feel very comfortable and warm.
But now... something seemed off.
The dinner was lavish, but the atmosphere wasn’t as good as it had been at noon. Perhaps it was because Su Chen and Mu Xin were absent to liven things up, but Jiayu really felt something was amiss.
After struggling to finish dinner, Jiayu had just put down her chopsticks when she saw out of the corner of her eye, Ms. Wang and Mu Xin exchange a glance. Immediately, she heard Mu Xin’s voice in her ear: "Sister Sheng, you haven’t seen my room yet, have you? Come on, I’ll take you to see my room, there are lots of models."
Without waiting for a reply, Mu Xin grabbed Jiayu’s hand and headed upstairs.
The Mu family villa had three floors excluding the basement, but the third floor was really just a small attic. Generally, people would use this space as a tea room or a game room.
But the attic in the Mu Family was for Mu Xin to stack her models.
As soon as Jiayu went up, she was taken aback. There were piles and piles, all of gun models.
Besides guns, there were some car models, giving the entire attic a hard and cold look, without a trace of girlish softness, starkly contrasting with Mu Xin’s cute appearance.
Mu Xin seemed very interested, introducing them to Jiayu one by one. Initially, Jiayu listened attentively, but as she lost interest and couldn’t understand, her thoughts began to drift away.
After a round, Mu Xin took her to the second floor, where her and Mu Ke’s rooms were located.
Mu Xin’s room was much more feminine, with Hello Kitty everywhere, along with pink and white curtains and fluffy pillows.
"Sister Sheng, have a seat, don’t be shy."
Jiayu had a good impression of Mu Xin, and especially since they had clicked so well earlier, she sat down on the sofa, hesitated for a moment, and then began to ask, "Mu Xin, I want to ask you a question."
