Sheng Jiayu was oblivious to Su Chen’s actions, just staring at Mu Ke’s na on her phone, hesitating whether to call him.
Su Chen spoke up: "Personal advice, you’d better not call him now. If he wanted to hear your explanation or wasn’t mad at you, he wouldn’t have left you to . That guy, he would love to hold you close at any mont, and now he’s not, he’s obviously upset."
Sheng Jiayu pursed her lips, turned to Su Chen: "Do you also think I treat him as a stand-in?"
Su Chen started the car, heard Sheng Jiayu’s words, and chuckled lightly: "I’m telling you, my dear, you don’t actually believe he’s angry because of what your ex-husband said, do you?"
"I..."
Before Sheng Jiayu could say anything, Su Chen directly interjected: "Trust , knowing Mu Ke, he’d never believe such words. Please, he studied psychology, your ex obviously said that on purpose, even I could tell. You think Mu Ke can’t? That’s not the main issue tonight, okay?"
Sheng Jiayu fell silent, she was well aware of tonight’s real issue.
It was Xin Ke’s words she was worried Mu Ke might misunderstand, though such misunderstanding was entirely unnecessary.
But as Su Chen said, if he could figure it out, how could Mu Ke not?
The main issue tonight was that she should have been at the old mansion with her mother but ended up here due to a call from her ex-husband.
If it were her, she’d be pretty upset too.
No matter how much Mu Ke liked her, he was still a man, he might not mind her past but he’d surely mind her present.
Sheng Jiayu closed her eyes, let out a self-deprecating laugh: "Am I being really pathetic?"
"Want the truth? Yes, super pathetic."
Shooting a powerless glance at Su Chen, Sheng Jiayu gave another self-deprecating laugh: "Thanks, for being so straightforward."
"No problem, my pleasure."
"..."
The night outside the window was tranquil, and Sheng Jiayu belatedly realized that Su Chen wasn’t taking her back to Xu Family’s Old Mansion, but was heading to her apartnt in the city.
Probably because Su Chen didn’t know the location of Xu Family’s Old Mansion, Sheng Jiayu didn’t mind.
Her mind was a ss, where she went was not important anymore.
At the bar earlier, she felt genuine disgust when Xin Ke first showed up, but how did she feel when Mu Ke appeared?
She hadn’t pondered much at the ti, but thinking back now, that feeling of wanting to explain yet holding back must have been fear.
She feared Mu Ke misunderstanding, and feared even more his anger.
Even though he was very angry now.
They had only been together for such a short ti, Sheng Jiayu felt she really wasn’t a good girlfriend.
Seeing her ex-husband behind her boyfriend’s back, Su Chen was right, she was truly pathetic, super pathetic.
The car stopped below her apartnt building, Su Chen shut off the navigation: "Alright, it’s late, not appropriate for a man and a woman alone, I won’t accompany you further. Miss Sheng, good night."
Sheng Jiayu unbuckled her seatbelt, forced a smile: "Good night."
She opened the door to get out, just about to close it behind her when Su Chen suddenly called out to her: "Miss Sheng."
"Anything else?"
With a brilliant smile and so hidden aning, Su Chen said: "I have a way to make that guy co find you imdiately, then you two can clear things up, make everyone happy. But, Miss Sheng, you’ll need to do a favor."
Sheng Jiayu was slightly taken aback, and before she could compose herself, she replied: "What favor?"
