That night Sheng Jiayu didn't leave the old house; she stayed home with Xu Qingru. Mu Ke sat for a while after dinner before bidding farewell.
Although Xu Qingru invited him to stay over, Mu Ke declined. Sheng Jiayu thought she understood why he refused. He wanted to give her a bit more time to adjust and didn't want to rush their relationship into something too intimate too quickly.
After seeing Mu Ke off, Sheng Jiayu initially thought her mother would nag her about Mu Ke again. Surprisingly, Xu Qingru didn't say a word, just chatted about her bookshop and some things around her.
"I heard Jianan already has two kids?"
Regarding matters with the Sheng Family, Xu Qingru never paid much attention, and Sheng Jiayu rarely discussed them with her. This news, she had no idea where Xu Qingru had heard it from.
However, Sheng Jiayu understood. Her mother hated Sheng Huaiyuan and Sheng Jianan's mother, but like herself, they held no hostility towards Sheng Jianan.
