Sheng Jiayu reached out to push the door open, when she heard a cold male voice inside: "Yes!"
A crisp and powerful word.
Sheng Jiayu was taken aback.
"I'm ready at any time, as long as she wants to marry me."
Xu Qingru seemed equally stunned by Mu Ke's demeanor at that moment. She had lived half her life and had never seen such determination in a man's eyes.
Although to Xu Qingru, Mu Ke was just like a child, at this very moment, the certainty in his eyes made Xu Qingru believe she was not mistaken.
Mu Ke was not just saying this to please her; he truly meant it.
"I know Xiao Yu is not ready yet. Whenever she is ready, I'll marry her, no matter how long it takes."
The chess piece in Xu Qingru's fingers remained still. After a two-second silence, she spoke: "You're not young anymore. Doesn't your family push you?"
"Marriage is my own business, it's fine even if they urge me."
Xu Qingru sighed lightly: "I will persuade her."
