Chapter 823: Go Back, Wait for Me! (3)
Just as Sheng Jiayu was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly interrupted, halting Mr. Mu’s action of kneeling.
Mu Ke stepped forward with his long legs, walked to Sheng Jiayu’s side, wrapped his arm around Sheng Jiayu’s waist, and looked quietly at Mr. Mu.
"Dad, it was I who pursued Jiayu. Even if she suggests breaking up, I won’t break it off. As I’ve grown up, I’ve only liked this one person, and in the future, I’ll only love this one person. I’m very sorry, but I hope you won’t pressure Jiayu anymore. Between us, I’ve always revolved around her. Even if she runs to the ends of the earth, I’ll chase after her. So, putting pressure on her is meaningless."
After Mu Ke said this, he deeply bowed to Mr. Mu, then left with Sheng Jiayu in his embrace.
His words were never many, especially such a lengthy expression of his deepest feelings.
Not only Mr. Mu was stunned, but Sheng Jiayu was also stunned, and even Yang Yushan, whom they encountered as they walked out, was equally stunned.
Sheng Jiayu’s gaze only swept over Yang Yushan briefly, but it was enough to clearly capture the shock and resentment in her eyes.
Mu Ke led her to Su Chen and then turned to speak firmly: "You go back to B City first, wait for me to return."
After speaking, he turned his head again and said to Su Chen, "Please, take her to the airport."
Sheng Jiayu parted her lips, wanting to say something, but Mu Ke raised his hand to stop her: "Be obedient."
Su Chen leaned in and said, "Miss Sheng, let’s go."
Sheng Jiayu pursed her lips and followed Su Chen towards the elevator. As the elevator doors closed, her heart suddenly tightened. She didn’t know why, but she had a feeling that Mu Ke would make her heart ache, really ache.
The luggage was already in Su Chen’s car, and they drove directly to the airport from the hospital. Sheng Jiayu kept her head down without speaking. As they approached the airport highway, Su Chen suddenly spoke, "He doesn’t want you to suffer here."
"What?"
Sheng Jiayu was lost in her thoughts and didn’t immediately respond to Su Chen’s words. Su Chen continued driving calmly, "Mu Ke’s mom is actually a good person. The only thing is she’s a bit prideful; perhaps all teachers have this trait. Despite the strict family discipline in the Mu Family, Mu Ke is actually their treasured child."
Su Chen chuckled, "You might not know, but he’s the only boy of his generation in the Mu Family. You’ve met Mu Xin, she’s a girl, Mu Ke has an aunt who also has a daughter. All the cousins, whether direct or indirect, are girls. He’s the only boy and so outstanding, so everyone in the family dotes on him."
Sheng Jiayu hadn’t heard this from Mu Ke, but she could sense that Mu Ke’s mother wanted to give the best of the world to Mu Ke.
"But you know, I understand that kid Mu Ke. Once he decides on something, no one can stop him. So you should go back to B City first. If you suffer here, Mu Ke might go crazy because he cares too much about you."
Sheng Jiayu vaguely understood why Mu Ke insisted on her returning first, but hearing Su Chen say it so bluntly made her heart ache a bit.
She actually could face it together with him, but he didn’t want that because he couldn’t bear to.
Arriving at the airport, Sheng Jiayu bought the quickest ticket back to B City. Su Chen waited until she passed through security before turning to leave, pulling out his phone to call Mu Ke: "She’s gone, already inside."
