Chapter 815: I Just Want to Marry Her (5)
But should we give up just because of this?
No!
Sheng Jiayu took a deep breath, calming her emotions, and with a sincere gaze and determined tone, she spoke to Ms. Wang, "Aunt, I understand what you mean, but I’m sorry, I don’t want to be separated from him."
Ms. Wang’s expression changed suddenly, about to say something, when the door was suddenly opened and Mu Ke strode in.
In fact, he had been listening at the door all along. When the Mu Family bought this apartment, it was already fully furnished, and they hadn’t altered it. The original door provided by the developer didn’t have good soundproofing, so Mu Ke had heard all the conversations inside.
If it weren’t for Mu Xin holding him back so tightly, he would have entered as soon as his mother said she "disagrees."
And now, he heard Sheng Jiayu say she "didn’t want to be separated from him" with his own ears—what could be more important than that?
His beloved, the girl dear to his heart, said she didn’t want to be separated from him.
Mu Ke walked straight in and pulled Sheng Jiayu into his arms, "Mom, like I said, I only want to marry her. If you want a daughter-in-law, it will only be her. This is not a threat; it’s my stance."
After speaking, Mu Ke, holding Sheng Jiayu, started to walk out and paused in front of Mr. Mu, saying, "Dad, it’s her I want to marry, not the Sheng Family. The things you’re worried about won’t happen because I won’t separate from her."
Sheng Jiayu could feel Mu Ke’s grip around her waist tighten.
The warmth and strength of his hands made her feel safe.
Sheng Jiayu took a deep breath, speaking calmly and earnestly, "Uncle, Aunt, I’m sorry for disturbing your New Year, but I really don’t want to be separated from Mu Ke. He redeemed me, and I hope you’ll give me a chance."
After speaking, Sheng Jiayu bowed to Mu Ke’s parents. Mu Ke frowned at this, Ms. Wang stood coldly at the bedroom door, and Mr. Mu, after glancing at his wife and then at them, waved a hand, "Alright, it’s late, and you’re all tired today. Get some rest, we can talk about this later."
Those words were meant to smooth things over, but Mu Ke didn’t appreciate it. With the mood at home so tense, he couldn’t bear to leave Sheng Jiayu here.
His voice was cool as he said, "I’m taking her out to stay."
Not waiting for anyone’s reaction, Mu Ke had already taken Sheng Jiayu out.
In S City, there’s a tremendous river that flows through the city. Sheng Jiayu stood on the hotel rooftop, overlooking the entire river scene, while in the bathroom, Mu Ke was showering.
She felt a bit dazed, everything had completely gone against her expectations.
On the night of the third day of the lunar new year, her first day at Mu Ke’s home, things had become so tense.
Suddenly, Sheng Jiayu’s phone rang. It was a message on WeChat from Xue Lu: [How does it feel meeting the future in-laws? Did everything go smoothly?]
Looking at Xue Lu’s message and the two "smirking" emojis that followed, Sheng Jiayu suddenly felt a bit drained, replying with a series of "..."
Sheng Jiayu glanced at the bathroom, took her phone, and went out, only calling Xue Lu when she reached the fire escape.
As soon as the call connected, Xue Lu’s voice came through, "What does dot dot dot mean?"
Sheng Jiayu pursed her lips, "It means it’s hard to explain."
"What happened? Was it not smooth?"
Xue Lu was quite perceptive, and Sheng Jiayu didn’t hide from her. Matters like dealing with parents-in-law were completely new to her, and Xue Lu was the only person she could ask for advice nearby.
