Gu Han saw Mu Ke holding Sheng Jiayu’s hand as they walked in, and his originally poised hand holding the cue stick slipped, the stick falling straight to the ground.
His mouth gaped open wide, as if he had seen a ghost.
Beside him, Mu Yunfan remained calm, although his gaze towards Mu Ke carried a tinge of intrigue.
Gu Han quickly jumped in front of Sheng Jiayu: "Sister Jia Yu, this is..."
Before Sheng Jiayu could speak, Mu Ke’s cool voice ca through: "Hello, I’m Jiayu’s boyfriend."
Gu Han blinked, then blinked again. He knew Mu Ke, t him last ti, apparently he’s so kind of big shot doctor, but when did these two get together?
Shortly after, Sheng Jianan and Tang Yanqi arrived as well, and upon seeing Mu Ke, they didn’t find anything amiss.
The six of them sat on the sofa nearby for a while, and Sheng Jiayu asked, "Is Chengze not coming?"
For such occasions, he was usually indispensable. Sheng Jianan chuckled softly: "He’s got sothing to do."
Sheng Jiayu naturally didn’t ask further, nor did she speak, while Gu Han loudly suggested: "Well, just the right number of six people, let’s do a 3V3? Whoever loses tonight buys dinner."
Everyone agreed, and Gu Han eagerly volunteered to be on the sa team as Sheng Jiayu and Mu Ke, under the pretense of building good relations with the new brother-in-law.
He had his own little calculations. His and Mu Yunfan’s skills were about the sa, but Sheng Jiayu was much better than Tang Yanqi. Although he didn’t know much about Mu Ke, as long as he didn’t drag them down too much, even if they couldn’t defeat Sheng Jianan, with Sheng Jiayu’s skills being so superior to Tang Yanqi’s, they were bound to win.
Mr. Gu’s calculations clattered noisily, but quickly his smile faded.
Because Doctor Mu really was a burden.
Mu Ke held the cue stick, studying it for a while, as Sheng Jiayu quietly explained the tips and rules by his side. Mu Ke listened attentively, but it was of no use.
First shot, miss.
Second shot, still a miss.
The third shot wasn’t a miss, but that’s all it was.
Gu Han secretly pulled Sheng Jiayu aside, whispering: "Sis, where did you find this gem, can’t even play!"
Of course, Gu Han wasn’t genuinely complaining, just venting a bit of his frustration since his little plan fell through.
Sheng Jiayu knew he ant no harm, but for so reason, hearing him disparage Mu Ke stirred an uncontrollable impulse to defend him.
Sheng Jiayu stretched out her hand to smack Gu Han on the head, "What gem, believe it or not, he can accurately extract your heart."
Gu Han: "!!!"
What the hell is this?
Gu Han looked horrified, while Sheng Jiayu’s gaze had already returned to Mu Ke. He learned things quickly, and now whether it was holding the cue or his posture when bending over, both were standard, just lacking experience. His skills needed improving.
A tender emotion, even she noticed, fleetingly crossed Sheng Jiayu’s eyes.
Beside them, Tang Yanqi glanced at Sheng Jiayu in slight surprise and tugged at the man next to her: "Jianan, do you feel like sister has changed?"
Sheng Jianan, increasingly composed, though still visibly wild-eyed, glanced over there and nodded: "Hmm, she has changed."
Sheng Jiayu always gave the impression of a shrewd and capable career woman, calm, decisive, poised and magnanimous, without the pettiness or bashfulness of a little woman.
But now, her deanor, though indescribable as to what has changed, sohow everything seed different.
