When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase Chapter 696: Mu Ke, Let’s Give It a Try (6)

Mu Ke still didn’t make a sound, and that person got a bit impatient, reaching out to nudge his shoulder: "Hey, say sothing. As far as I know, even though the eldest daughter of the Shengshi Group and the current head of the Shengshi Group are half-siblings, they have a good relationship. No one dares to underestimate this young lady. You aren’t really having an affair with her, are you?"

Mu Ke remained silent, just tilted his head back to take a sip of his drink, his gaze sowhat deep, sowhat cold.

"I also heard she was married before, although she’s divorced now. So, do you really have your eyes on her? With your temperant and status... money, you don’t lack, and your position isn’t bad either. Could it really be true love?"

The more that person spoke, the more excited he beca, and the humor in his eyes beca increasingly evident: "No wonder you’ve never had a girlfriend before. Turns out mature, divorced, single career won are your type?"

This ti, Mu Ke finally responded: "Su Chen, if you don’t talk, no one will think you’re mute."

"Whew... finally speaking?"

Su Chen also grabbed a glass of wine, lightly clinking it against Mu Ke’s: "Tell , are you having trouble chasing her? Do you need the expert in romance to give you so tips?"

Su Chen was purely teasing. As practically Mu Ke’s only close friend and brother, he understood Mu Ke too well. This guy’s temperant has beco so cold that he doesn’t have friends and wouldn’t bother responding to such teasing words.

But then he heard a low voice beside him: "Speak."

Su Chen choked on a mouthful of wine, burning in his throat, and after a while, looked at Mu Ke as if he had seen a UFO: "No way, am I dreaming?"

Mu Ke shifted his gaze away faintly and said nothing more, just drank his wine.

Su Chen finally realized that today, his friend was really behaving weirdly.

He stopped joking and cald himself: "What’s going on?"

Mu Ke leaned back on the sofa seat, his gaze uncertain, looking sowhere far away, unreachable. His voice was low and cool as he slowly recounted bits and pieces of his experiences with Sheng Jiayu.

In fact, there wasn’t much, mostly his own solo performance.

Having listened, Su Chen restrained himself but couldn’t hold back, laughing rather unkindly: "I’ve known you since college, always thought you were indifferent, not interested in won at all, turns out you’re still a lovestruck guy? Unrequited love... such a sophisticated thing, you’ve been playing at it for so many years?"

Mu Ke gave him a sidelong glance: "Laughed enough?"

Su Chen cleared his throat twice to calm himself down: "OK, I won’t laugh anymore. I’m just amazed. Back then, those chasing you could fill the Rhine River, but you’re bending over backward for one flower. If those who pursued you knew, how many hearts would that break?"

Mu Ke: "..."

"OK, OK, let’s get serious. Actually, this problem is easy to solve. Since you’ve decided to pursue a girl, you have to bear so grievances. Mutual affection is sweet, while unrequited love is bitter. You’re clearly one-sided, yet you want so response from her. Isn’t that just wishful thinking?"

Su Chen took another sip of wine, then continued: "And, you know, pursuing soone isn’t easy. The simplest is chasing soone who doesn’t have others in their heart. Sorry, that’s not you. Or pursuing soone who is relatively ordinary, who needs soone to care for her, soone to share social pressures with—the easier way, after all, you have good conditions, but again, that’s not you either."
