When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 752: Heartfelt Devotion Mistaken (2)

The man’s body stiffened slightly, his hands holding the butter and chocolate syrup paused for two seconds before Mu Ke slightly turned his head: "What’s wrong?"

Jiayu rubbed her head against his back and smiled: "Nothing."

Nothing, really nothing, it just felt a little magical.

Thinking back to that day, Xin Ke unabashedly told Mu Ke that he was his substitute.

Who is the substitute for whom exactly?

After holding for a while, Jiayu retreated back to the living room, and from the corner of her eye, she could still see Mu Ke’s tall and slender figure standing in front of the oven.

Outside the window, the night was dark, inside was his cool figure, along with those dusty past events she had just learned.

The world is indeed round, spinning around, what’s meant to happen will still happen.

Jiayu never regretted falling in love with Xin Ke, even when she was hurt the most, she never regretted it. The young Xin Ke, outstanding, he might not have been the best, but he was still a boy full of sunshine.

In academics, Xin Ke had a bit more talent than the average person, it’s just that his path went astray.

He should naturally be in a laboratory, not at a negotiation table.

Falling in love with such a boy, Jiayu has no regrets, only now there’s a bit of "what if" thoughts, "what if" she had known back then it wasn’t Xin Ke who sent her to the school clinic, but Mu Ke, would she have paid attention to the boy named "Xin Ke"?

"What if" she had spent a little effort to get to know this person called Mu Ke, would those later events not have happened? Would there not have been that failed marriage?

But there is no "if," hypothetical matters, who knows?

She loved a man for thirteen years, yet it turns out, there was also a man who loved her for three.

This feeling is very subtle, extremely subtle.

Jiayu knew Mu Ke liked her, but never thought he liked her that much.

Not long after, Mu Ke came out with the freshly baked cookies, their appearance was no less than those bought outside, the key was the high-quality ingredients, not a bit skimped, taking a bite leaves a lingering taste in the mouth.

Jiayu generously gave Mu Ke a big smile: "Delicious."

The light was bright, and there were some cookie crumbs on the corners of her mouth, her eyes curved, buttery cookies were slightly oily, and Jiayu’s lips seemed to be stained with a bit of shine, looking particularly bright under the lights.

It was unclear whether it was her smile that was too captivating, or the night that was too intoxicating.

Mu Ke’s heart suddenly quivered, and his gaze darkened.

He had always been restrained towards her, always respectful, but now, he really wanted to kiss her.

He could kiss her, right?

After all, it wasn’t like they hadn’t kissed before.

Mu Ke took off the gloves in his hand, before Jiayu could retract her smile, his slender fingers were already reaching out, accurately catching hold of her chin.

Mu Ke’s lips and tongue lightly tasted, the cookie crumbs left at the corner of Jiayu’s mouth were swept into his mouth.

"Mu..."

Jiayu’s face flushed red with embarrassment, she was about to speak when the man already sealed her lips with his, leaving her no room for retreat.

Mu Ke bent down to kiss her, Jiayu sitting on the soft sofa, her balance gradually unstable, Mu Ke noticed her body constantly tilting backward, reached out to clasp her neck, with one knee on the sofa himself.

The two almost simultaneously fell onto the sofa, Mu Ke’s knee was between Jiayu’s legs, the position was nothing if not intimate.
