Yan Hua had sharp eyes and immediately recognized that this pocket watch was the boss's new fancy item. Since it was something new, how could he not compliment it?
He quickly said, "Boss, I think this watch of yours is really nice. It must be something precious! The workmanship is wonderful, and the appearance is delicate. What's more, it looks extremely handsome on you. It makes me seem like a vulgar person in comparison."
Mu Yuze's lips curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly, as if he was in a rather good mood.
Indeed, this pocket watch looked great. Since it was selected by Lu Xue, the aesthetic sense was surely good.
Yan Hua observed Mu Yuze's expression. Seeing the boss smile, he immediately felt relieved. It seemed that the flattery strategy was the right one. Complimenting the boss was the eternal truth.
Yan Hua wanted to ask Mu Yuze about ordering a suit, but Mu Yuze waved his hand and said it was unnecessary, then told Yan Hua to leave.
With this pocket watch, Mu Yuze felt that his state of mind was instantly balanced.
After all, it was just a suit. As long as the measurements were provided, someone could customize it comprehensively.
But the pocket watch was different. There was a pattern customized by Lu Xue for him on it, and she even painted a picture for him.
Hanging such a pocket watch on his chest, feeling his heartbeat, it was as if Lu Xue was always by his side, intimate with him.
Mu Yuze suddenly felt that his status in Lu Xue's heart should be able to instantly outshine Yan Hua.
Having figured this out, he immediately felt better and simply stopped caring about what happened during the day.
...
In the evening, Lu Xue returned to the old mansion early and was caught by Mu Ziyue.
Mu Ziyue was quite surprised and said, "Lu Xue, some time ago, you and my brother always came and went together and returned home together. Now why do you often come back one after another? Don't you like taking my brother's car? Or is there something wrong with your relationship?"
Lu Xue shook her head and ignored her as she walked upstairs.
Mu Ziyue took a deep breath in front of her and said in disbelief, "Could there be a third party between you two? Who on earth is it! Tell me, and I'll teach that person a good lesson!"
Lu Xue was a bit helpless and smiled slightly as she said, "Your brother is very busy with work. He's still working overtime in the company. Can't I come back first to have dinner?"
Mu Ziyue was a bit dejected. "It's okay, but if you two keep going your separate ways every day and rarely see each other at home, when will there be any progress..."
She said this in a very low voice. Lu Xue didn't hear it and just went upstairs to start tidying up her room.
Since the day she had an appointment with Mr. Chen was getting closer, Lu Xue would organize her things every day when she came back. In the past two days, she had almost packed two suitcases.
The things related to her at home were also being collected one by one. By the day she left, there would be no trace of her in the house.
Just as she was considering whether she should pack up those jars and paints in the studio, Mu Ziyue suddenly appeared at the door of the room.
Mu Ziyue looked down at the two big suitcases and showed a look of confusion on her face.
"Lu Xue, what are you doing? Are you going on a trip out of the blue?"
Lu Xue didn't look up. While moving the luggage, she said to Mu Ziyue, "I'm going to move out in a few days, so I'm packing my luggage first."
Mu Ziyue was shocked. "What? You're going to move out! Are you moving out of the old mansion? Where are you going? You're not going back to live in that small village again, are you?"
Lu Xue replied casually, "I haven't decided where to live yet. Anyway, I definitely have to move out first. I'll find another place to settle down later."
Mu Ziyue realized that Lu Xue was serious. She had been busy helping the two of them get together and secretly creating opportunities for them.
But Lu Xue had already made up her mind to leave.
Mu Ziyue felt that things were starting to get out of her control.
She stepped over the suitcase and rushed to Lu Xue's side to start doing ideological work.
"I'm not kidding. Is there really something wrong between you and my brother? Even if there is a problem, can't we solve it? Why do you have to just leave? Are you trying to be angry with him and make him regret it and then go through great difficulties to chase you back?"
Lu Xue looked up and couldn't understand Mu Ziyue's train of thought at all.
She just wanted to leave. Why did she need Mu Yuze to chase her back?
Seeing Lu Xue looking confused, Mu Ziyue quickly held her shoulders and persuaded her, "I know the plot of 'regret and pursuit' is very popular in novels these days. Maybe you're using this method to force my brother to realize how important you are to him after you're gone. But isn't this method a bit too extreme?"
Lu Xue shook her head. "Mu Ziyue, I really want to leave."
Mu Ziyue sighed and compromised a bit. "Okay, okay. Even if you really want to leave, just take a little luggage as a formality! For example, carry a small backpack and take a few sets of clothes to get by for a few days outside. You're taking away all the things related to you in the house with these two big suitcases. It will be so troublesome to send them back later!"
