When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 781: Season of Love (Part 1)

Sheng Jiayu was already a bit guilty, and hearing Su Chen’s obvious teasing and cheerful laughter made her even more guilty: "He... he’s cooking, wait a moment, I’ll give him the phone."

Su Chen said "okay" three times in a row on the other end, but still carried that teasing smile, making Sheng Jiayu’s face even redder as she brought the phone to Mu Ke’s ear.

Mu Ke’s eyes were also filled with laughter. He could have washed his hands and taken the phone himself, but seeing Sheng Jiayu standing in front of him, looking down, with a shy and red face, Mu Ke suddenly didn’t want to do so.

All along, he had been taking care of her like she was precious, so having her help hold the phone for him once shouldn’t be too much, right?

While listening to Su Chen on the other end, Mu Ke’s gaze stayed fixed on the top of Sheng Jiayu’s head.

Because they were so close, Sheng Jiayu could clearly hear Su Chen’s words from the phone.

"Together now? Home run? Congratulations, brother."

Sheng Jiayu’s face turned even redder. She merely took a call for Mu Ke, so how did the person on the other end come up with such a conclusion?

Mu Ke chuckled twice, not wanting to embarrass Sheng Jiayu further, and simply responded, "What’s up?"

"Oh, there’s something. What about the Lunar New Year? Are you going back to S City? Ms. Wang from your family called me last night, said you suddenly hung up on her, and then didn’t pick up later, so she came to demand an explanation. What’s your plan? Give me an answer."

Mu Ke frowned slightly and responded, "Going back."

"Okay, and what about Miss Sheng? Is she going back with you as the new daughter-in-law?"

These words made Sheng Jiayu too flustered to feel shy, and she looked up at Mu Ke, her eyes filled with confusion. Mu Ke gave her a reassuring glance and then said to the person on the other end, "I’ll call home."

"Alright then, I won’t disturb your spring night, cough cough, the spring of an old bachelor, tsk tsk..."

Before Su Chen could finish his teasing, Mu Ke had already swiftly sidestepped, and softly said to Sheng Jiayu, "Hang up."

Of course, Sheng Jiayu decisively hung up the call. Su Chen’s teasing was much more excessive than Zhou Chengze’s.

Mu Ke turned back to continue making dumplings, and Sheng Jiayu, thinking of their conversation just now, asked, "Lunar New Year, you..."

Mu Ke arranged the dumplings neatly while saying, "I need to go back for the New Year. Don’t mind what Su Chen said. You can stay here with Aunt, I’ll be back after the third day of the New Year."

Sheng Jiayu frowned, that wasn’t the point.

The point was...

"Does your family know about me?"

Sheng Jiayu asked this cautiously. She hadn’t expected that Mu Ke would have already mentioned her to his family; at most, she thought he had just told them he had someone he liked.

Mu Ke gave her a weird look: "The person I want to marry, shouldn’t my family know?"

Sheng Jiayu: "..."

That wasn’t what she meant, she just thought... isn’t it a bit fast?

Seeing through Sheng Jiayu’s thoughts, Mu Ke turned to face her and calmly said, "Not at all fast, thirteen years."

Sheng Jiayu’s heart suddenly softened. Yes, he had liked her for thirteen years, it wasn’t fast at all.

Thinking about what Mu Ke had told her mother before, that he was always prepared to marry her, informing his family was part of the preparation, wasn’t it?
