The weather today was just right, a bright sunny day with a hint of coolness in the wind. Lu Xue seemed to have discovered a new world. The more she walked, the more cheerful she became. From time to time, she lingered at various small scenic spots and casually took a few photos.
Mu Yuze, on the other hand, calmly followed behind. With his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, he silently maintained a moderate distance from Lu Xue in front all the way.
His figure was straight and slender. The tailor - made high - end suit he was wearing was completely out of place with the temperament of this whole alley of blue stone platforms. But surprisingly, he himself seemed to be enjoying it.
When Lu Xue in front showed a happy smile, a faint and gentle smile also appeared on his lips.
After a day of strolling in the village, the two drove back. By the time they reached the old mansion, it was already evening.
Lu Xue and Mu Yuze entered the door and saw Ding Muyun and Mu Ziyue having dinner at the dining table.
Ding Muyun looked up at the two of them. Finding that they had come back together, a trace of displeasure welled up in her heart immediately.
She didn't show any expression on her face. Instead, she silently lowered her head again and quietly continued eating.
However, Mu Ziyue immediately stood up.
"Brother, Lu Xue! I said, why are you two coming back so late? I looked for you all day yesterday, but I couldn't find you anywhere. What on earth have you been doing?"
Before the two could say anything, Mu Ziyue let out an exclamation as if she had suddenly discovered a new continent.
"No, no! You two came back together, and you were both out all night last night. You couldn't have spent the night outside, could you?"
Saying this, Mu Ziyue immediately rushed over and carefully examined the clothes on Mu Yuze and Lu Xue.
After the examination, she was even more convinced. "Am I right? Your clothes are exactly the same as when you left yesterday! You haven't even changed your clothes. What does that mean? It means there's something going on between you two!"
Lu Xue rolled her eyes silently in her heart and didn't bother to pay attention to Mu Ziyue. She just turned around and went upstairs to rest.
Mu Yuze, on the other hand, lowered his head slightly, with a slight blush on his face.
Mu Ziyue pulled her elder brother over and forcefully made him sit down at the dining table. While enthusiastically putting food on his plate, she asked.
"What's the progress between you and Lu Xue? Have you two officially confirmed your relationship? Brother, what on earth are you thinking in your heart? You couldn't really like Lu Xue, could you! So are you going to fulfill this engagement as required by Grandpa's will? Does that mean I'll soon be calling Lu Xue my sister - in - law?"
Ding Muyun in front looked up at Mu Ziyue and Mu Yuze. Her hand holding the chopsticks tightened to the extreme. She almost crushed the chopsticks.
But Mu Ziyue didn't notice this at all. She kept chattering and asking Mu Yuze about their relationship, and even gossiped and encouraged them.
"If you're going to hold the engagement ceremony, I can recommend some good wedding planning companies to you! Moreover, recently my friends and I opened a new fashion studio. We can customize the suits and wedding dresses for your wedding!"
Mu Yuze coughed lightly and said to Mu Ziyue, "You don't need to worry about these things. Have you made up for the courses you failed?"
Mu Ziyue was immediately at a loss for words. She silently sat down and continued eating, with a look of grievance on her face.
After Mu Yuze finished his meal and left, Mu Ziyue whispered to Ding Muyun, "You know, I think my brother clearly has feelings for Lu Xue. But he's just being stubborn and refuses to admit it. I think his slow - paced personality is completely unsuitable for falling in love. It's strange if he can ever catch up with someone."
Ding Muyun felt really uncomfortable, and her tone became a bit colder. "Don't talk nonsense. I don't think there's anything between Mu Yuze and Lu Xue. Moreover, with Lu Xue's background, she's simply not worthy of Mu Yuze."
Mu Ziyue pouted and whispered in disapproval, "There's no such thing as worthy or unworthy in matters of the heart. What if my brother just likes Lu Xue? Besides, with Grandpa's will, Lu Xue's status is legitimate. My brother is just following Grandpa's will."
Ding Muyun was left speechless. Her face looked quite ugly.
She said coldly, "I'm done eating."
Then she dropped the chopsticks and walked away directly, leaving Mu Ziyue alone at the empty dining table.
Since Lu Xue helped to make the connection and invited Pan Yurou, Mu Ziyue had thought more highly of Lu Xue.
She used to think that Lu Xue was just a country girl who was completely unworthy of their family's prominent background.
But after getting along with Lu Xue for a while, she found that Lu Xue was funny, cute, and had her own personality.
Lu Xue seemed very mysterious. There were always one mystery after another behind her. Every time you solved one, you would get a brand - new surprise.
For example, Mu Ziyue still hadn't figured out how Lu Xue had made friends with the movie queen Pan Yurou - after all, their life circles should never have intersected.
But after going out to play with Lu Xue a few times, she found that Lu Xue's friends were all quite interesting, and several of them were quite famous figures in the fashion circle.
