Chapter 818: I Just Want to Marry Her (8)
Mu Family
Mu Ke hurriedly walked out from inside and drove away. In the living room, Mr. Mu and Ms. Wang sat on the sofa, with Ms. Wang’s eyes red.
Yet another unpleasant ending.
"Ah Ke, let it go. Our son is grown up now; let him be."
Ms. Wang clenched her jaw tightly, her hands also gripping firmly. How could she not see that her son really likes Sheng Jiayu? She was concerned about Sheng Jiayu’s previous marriage and divorce, but she only wanted to persuade Mu Ke to give up.
But what happened? Mu Ke actually said harsh words to them for a woman and confronted her for the first time, making her lose face. This was absolutely intolerable for Ms. Wang.
Without a word, she went into her room. Mr. Mu listened to the door slam shut with a "bang" and sighed deeply.
His wife had always cared about her image; it’s not a big flaw. As for his son, he has an extraordinary stubbornness, which is a good thing because such people have perseverance in their actions.
But now?
One stubborn about face, the other insisting on making her lose face.
The Mu family’s atmosphere has always been harmonious. This was the toughest time since Mu Ke independently changed his college major to insist on studying medicine.
Mu Ke drove back to the hotel and immediately booked two flights to return to B City upon entering the door.
He wasn’t being unfilial; he just couldn’t give up Sheng Jiayu due to his parents’ prejudice. Since it’s like this, let time resolve it.
He also didn’t want Sheng Jiayu to be wronged here anymore.
Back in the room, as soon as he opened the door, he heard two hearty laughs. Sheng Jiayu and Mu Xin were sitting on the sofa, laughing so hard they leaned forward and back, talking about something unknown.
Seeing him enter, both paused, and then the laughter grew louder.
Mu Ke’s previously slightly irritable mood vanished instantly upon seeing Sheng Jiayu’s smile. He narrowed his eyes slightly; their expressions... were they talking about him?
Mu Ke calmly walked over, sweeping a slightly warning glance at Mu Xin, and spoke lightly: "Talking about me?"
He asked a question, but his tone was utterly assertive.
Mu Xin immediately shrank back: "Wow, bro, do you have a mind-reading technique?"
Mu Ke ignored her, turned to Sheng Jiayu, and spoke gently, "Did you eat enough for lunch? Do you want me to order some fruit?"
Mu Xin’s eyes widened. Is this her aloof, cold brother?
Sheng Jiayu didn’t notice Mu Xin’s expression and thought for a moment upon hearing Mu Ke’s words: "Sure, I want to eat mangosteen."
After speaking, she looked at Mu Xin: "Xinxin, what about you?"
Mu Xin took a sip of water and shook her head: "No, I’m full."
Full from eating dog food.
This was a five-star hotel with excellent service, and the fruit was delivered quickly.
Mu Ke naturally took a mangosteen and elegantly and swiftly peeled it, then handed it to Sheng Jiayu.
Mangosteen is a tedious fruit to eat, but clearly, Sheng Jiayu was only responsible for eating it.
Mu Xin watched silently and resentfully picked one up to peel it herself. After a while, Mu Ke suddenly spoke: "I booked tickets to return to B City tomorrow morning. Is there anywhere else you want to visit? I can take you tonight."
This surprised both of them. Mu Xin immediately shouted: "Bro, are you leaving so soon?"
Sheng Jiayu was also a bit surprised. Mu Ke went home today and then booked tickets, so... things didn’t go well with his conversation at home?
