Xu Qingru still smiled gently: "Ho becos a ho not because of where the house is, but because of who you live with in that house. Although mom has lived in B City for most of her life, it’s ti to move to a new nest."
Sheng Jiayu spent a night at the Xu Family’s Old Mansion and returned to Mu Ke’s apartnt the next day. When she told Ms. Wang the news, Ms. Wang was visibly taken aback, and then her eyes unexpectedly reddened, which startled Sheng Jiayu.
"Mu Ke, this child, always had his own opinions since young. Both his dad and I didn’t want him to study dicine, but he insisted, and we couldn’t stop him. Later, when he returned to the country, we hoped he would co back to S City, but he was determined to co to B City. We only have this one son, and selfishly, we hope he can be by our side. But after so many years without being able to influence him, we gave up. We didn’t expect... We didn’t expect you would say sothing like this willingly."
While saying this, Ms. Wang couldn’t help but choke back tears. Sheng Jiayu leaned over and gently hugged her: "Mom, I’ve decided to buy another house in your residential area. Once Mu Ke has settled things here, we’ll move over."
Sheng Jiayu was the last to inform Mu Ke of this news. After listening, Mu Ke didn’t agree imdiately as Sheng Jiayu had anticipated, but instead looked at her intently.
"What’s wrong?"
Mu Ke loosened his tie and walked up to Sheng Jiayu: "Why didn’t you tell beforehand?"
The man’s expression remained cool and detached, but Sheng Jiayu quickly detected traces of subtle displeasure within. Was Mu Ke unhappy?
Did Mu Ke not want to go back?
"Do you not want to go back?"
Mu Ke didn’t speak imdiately. After a long pause, he finally said: "Xiao Yu, between us, you can have things your way, but it won’t be the sa with them."
Huh? What does that an?
For a mont, Sheng Jiayu couldn’t process what Mu Ke ant, and Mu Ke didn’t elaborate further, taking his clothes to the bathroom for a shower.
Standing in place, Sheng Jiayu pondered for a long ti but couldn’t grasp Mu Ke’s aning. Just then, Xue Lu called her with an issue, and Sheng Jiayu casually asked.
On the other end of the phone, Xue Lu was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I think your Doctor Mu is probably worried you’d face difficulties with your in-laws."
"Face difficulties? No, his parents are quite good to now."
Xue Lu replied in a knowledgeable tone: "That’s different. Xue Li’s parents also like , but small conflicts still happen. Your Doctor Mu spoils you excessively, and he’s precautious even about such things."
In just a few light words, Xue Lu enlightened Sheng Jiayu; so that’s how it is.
Yes, even teeth and lips, being so close, bump against each other. It’s not unusual for there to be conflicts if you live too close. However, Sheng Jiayu doesn’t mind; small conflicts are inconsequential so long as they don’t touch on principles. She believes that Mr. Mu and Ms. Wang wouldn’t have any conflicts involving principles either.
As the final major matter before their marriage, this issue was finally resolved through Sheng Jiayu’s gentle persuasion.
The happiest were the Mu Family, but Mu Ke insisted on not purchasing a property very close. After all, that area was full of villas, so they bought in another neighborhood, just a ten-minute drive away.
Sheng Jiayu didn’t insist any further and went along with Mu Ke’s decision. Ms. Wang insisted that they should buy the property there themselves, and not sell the house in B City, so whenever they return, they could still stay there.
