As July arrived, the temperature in B City had already risen quite high, and Sheng Jiayu felt hot even wearing a chiffon dress.

With the wedding approaching, Sheng Jiayu had been busy these days. Mu Ke, feeling sorry for her, wanted to help her out a bit more, but the work at the hospital was also overwhelmingly busy at the moment, leaving him with no time. However, Sheng Jiayu felt there was no problem at all; she was in a great mood, and she wanted to handle things personally.

This was her and Mu Ke’s wedding. She didn’t seek perfection, but hoped that every detail bore her own efforts, just like how Mu Ke cared for her, attending to every detail of life.

Sheng Jiayu didn’t have many close friends, and even fewer were in B City, so the important role of bridesmaid fell on Mu Xin. As the police academy was on break, Mu Xin came to B City and spent her days accompanying Sheng Jiayu on shopping sprees everywhere.

Due to the hot weather, the two of them, after getting tired from shopping, would sit in an ice cream shop to enjoy cold desserts. Mu Xin scooped a large spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, speaking to Sheng Jiayu while enjoying the air conditioning: "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you secretly."

"Hmm?"

"I went home during the May Day holiday and happened to run into Sister Yang and her mom. They still haven’t given up on my brother, but do you know what my mom said?"

"What did she say?"

Mu Xin cleared her throat, imitating Ms. Wang’s tone: "Our Mu Ke is getting married on Qixi Festival, and the chosen bridesmaid hasn’t been decided yet. I was thinking, Shanshan is close to Mu Ke, perhaps we might trouble Shanshan, but Xiao Yu is worried it would be too much of a hassle."

Mu Xin couldn’t help but burst into laughter, completely ignoring any ladylike image as she slapped the table and laughed: "Sister-in-law, I’m telling you, I couldn’t resist giving a hundred and one likes to my mom’s acting, and she wouldn’t be conceited with one more. What she said was so genuine, it made the faces of that mother-daughter pair turn as red as pig liver."

Sheng Jiayu couldn’t help but laugh too, wasn’t that a blatant slap in the face?

Who would have thought Mu Ke’s mom had such a side? Someone wants to be Mu Ke’s bride but acts oblivious when invited to be the bridesmaid.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, last time’s incident really pissed my mom off. She hates when people play her for a fool, especially causing such a huge misunderstanding for you guys. I seriously wonder, how do they have the nerve to come to our house?"

Sheng Jiayu took a sip of juice, just about to say something, when a server carrying some durian pancakes passed by, and a faint smell of durian wafted over. Immediately, Sheng Jiayu frowned, and the next second, her stomach started to churn.

She quickly grabbed a tissue and turned to retch into the trash can by her feet.

Mu Xin’s words came to an abrupt halt as she hurried over: "Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?"

Sheng Jiayu waved her hand, just about to say something, but before the words could come out, she dry heaved again.

Mu Xin was terrified — this was her own brother’s cherished person, she couldn’t bear the blame if her brother got angry. Mu Xin quickly helped Sheng Jiayu up: "Sister-in-law, let’s go to the hospital."

Sheng Jiayu regained a bit of composure, took a few more sips of water to steady herself, and patted Mu Xin’s shoulder: "I’m fine, it’s probably just the durian smell that made me uncomfortable."

Wait a minute... 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

As Sheng Jiayu spoke, she was taken aback. She could eat durian, in fact, she loved it, so why did she feel like vomiting now?

Sheng Jiayu wasn’t an ignorant young girl; a thought flashed through her mind.
