Chapter 816: I Just Want to Marry Her (6)
Jiayu briefly explained the situation, then quietly looked at Xue Lu’s suggestion. On the other end of the call, Xue Lu was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "In matters like this, there’s probably no solution. His mother’s views are a bit outdated and extreme, but to be honest, it’s understandable. Jiayu, I think you shouldn’t let this get to you. Doctor Mu won’t give up on you."
Mu Ke wouldn’t give up on her?
Of course, Mu Ke certainly wouldn’t give up on her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had such a fallout with his family today.
Actually, Mu Ke has a very patient temperament, Jiayu knew. It must be that his parents said something unfavorable about her today, forcing Mu Ke to stay out with her overnight.
On the phone, Xue Lu’s voice continued: "Jiayu, I know you have many concerns, but this time, you must let go of those worries. No parent can go against their child, and it’s just that they don’t understand you yet. You have to trust Mu Ke, and trust yourself, leave everything to time, it will get better."
Jiayu nodded: "Mm, I know."
After hanging up Xue Lu’s call, Jiayu didn’t rush back; instead, she leaned against the wall of the fire escape, her head slightly lifted.
From the day Mu Ke entered her life in a gentle yet assertive manner, Jiayu knew that this man was definitely not as indifferent as he seemed on the surface.
Mu Ke has his convictions. Once he is set on something, he will definitely see it through to the end.
So she chose to trust him. All she could do, all she needed to do, was to stay by his side and then go forward with him.
Jiayu’s lips curled into a smile as she stood up straight and slowly walked back to the room.
She swiped the card to enter, and Mu Ke had already come out of the bathroom, dressed in the hotel’s bathrobe, standing by the window looking at the river view outside.
Hearing the movement of her reaching out, Mu Ke turned around, his eyes still cool and calm. They locked gazes for two seconds, then Mu Ke stepped forward: "Where did you go?"
"Called Xue Lu to ask for some advice."
Mu Ke reached out and pulled her into his arms: "Sorry for making you feel wronged."
Jiayu leaned against his chest, shaking her head: "No, I’m fine, really, don’t worry."
The room was very quiet, so quiet they could clearly hear each other’s heartbeats.
After a long while, Jiayu moved her head, resting her forehead against Mu Ke’s heart: "Mu Ke, have I ever told you something?"
"Hmm?"
"I really like you."
Really, I like you so much.
This feeling, she didn’t know when it started, but when Jiayu realized it herself, she found her fondness for Mu Ke was growing every single moment.
Jiayu always thought she was past the age of talking about love and romance, so she seldom mentioned it, almost never. But now, she wanted to tell Mu Ke, to tell him clearly.
She knew he liked her, and she liked him too, so no matter what happens afterward, she would unwaveringly stand by his side.
Mu Ke’s body visibly tensed, and after a brief moment of surprise, he reached out to grasp Jiayu’s shoulders, pulling her away to create some distance, then bent down for a deep kiss.
That night, Mu Ke was gentle yet assertive, tormenting Jiayu several times without letting her go, until she eventually fell asleep deeply exhausted, vaguely hearing a voice by her ear: "I won’t give up on you."
Definitely won’t!
