"I actually think looking good and truly liking something are two different things. If you don't like it, there's no need to buy it."
Mu Ziyue was slightly surprised. The longer she spent with Lu Xue, the more she noticed the optimistic and open - minded attitude of this girl.
She suppressed the subtle envy in her heart and pulled Lu Xue into the next store.
"Come on, come on. I'll take you to a nail salon to give your hands and nails a good treatment!"
In the nail salon, Mu Ziyue made Lu Xue sit down. In no time, her nails were painted a cute pink.
Mu Ziyue snatched a look and was very satisfied with the color.
"It's charming but not vulgar, with a pure and lovely touch. I'm sure my brother will like it!"
Lu Xue let Mu Ziyue do as she pleased. She originally thought they could go home after leaving the nail salon.
However, Mu Ziyue forcibly dragged her into a hair salon and asked the stylist to give her a new hairstyle.
After coming out of the hair salon, Lu Xue had a brand - new look. Her slightly wavy long hair was permed into neatly symmetrical cornrows on both sides, making her look like a fluffy little princess.
After leaving the hair salon, Mu Ziyue took Lu Xue to various accessory stores and bought her many earrings, accessories, necklaces, and small decorative pins.
Finally, they walked out of the store with more than a dozen full bags.
Mu Ziyue sized Lu Xue up and down. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was.
"How about I ask my brother to take us out for dinner tonight? It's getting a bit boring always eating at home!"
But Lu Xue thought Aunt Chen's cooking was so good that she would never get tired of it.
"You go out with your brother then. I'll stay at home."
Mu Ziyue immediately frowned: "That won't do! You must come with me. We're good friends!"
Come on, she had deliberately arranged this date to matchmake these two. If it was just her and her brother going, what would be the point?
Mu Ziyue immediately sent a text message to her brother and also sent the location of the restaurant she had chosen.
Mu Yuze was in his office discussing several recent projects with Yan Hua. Suddenly, his phone beeped. He glanced at the text message from his younger sister and replied simply with two words.
"No way."
On the other end, Mu Ziyue was so angry that she almost wanted to crawl through the phone line and knock open her brother's head to see what was inside.
As his younger sister, she was always trying to give him a hand and promote the relationship between him and his future sister - in - law, but he was letting such a great opportunity slip away.
Mu Ziyue took a deep breath and tapped on the phone keys again.
"Brother, I didn't choose this restaurant. It was Lu Xue who said she wanted to eat there, so I made the reservation. Lu Xue will leave our home in a while. We'll have fewer and fewer days to spend together. Are you sure you don't want to come?"
Mu Yuze was silent for a while, staring at this message for a long time. Finally, he looked up at Yan Hua and said.
"Clear my evening schedule. I have personal plans."
Yan Hua was more than happy for his boss to have personal plans. He quickly nodded: "Sure, sure, sure. I'll clear all the evening schedules right away!"
That evening, Mu Ziyue dressed Lu Xue up from head to toe and forced her to put on a new little dress. Then she drove her to the restaurant.
The three of them had originally agreed to meet at 7 p.m., but at 6:30 p.m., Mu Ziyue suddenly covered her stomach with a pained expression.
"Ouch, Lu Xue. I don't know what I ate wrong today. My stomach hurts so much! It seems I really can't go to the dinner with you. You go first. I'll leave now!"
With that, Mu Ziyue was about to rush out in a hurry, but she was immediately pulled back by Lu Xue halfway.
Lu Xue sized her up and was a bit worried: "Can you go alone? How about I go to the hospital with you!"
Mu Ziyue shook her head regretfully: "No, no. I'll go to the hospital by myself. My brother is usually very busy at work. It's rare for him to come out for a meal. Don't spoil his mood."
With that, Mu Ziyue pushed Lu Xue inside and then ran away like the wind.
Lu Xue was pushed into the restaurant. The dim light inside immediately hindered her vision.
She squinted her eyes and looked around under the bunch of aqua - blue lights but couldn't tell where she was.
The restaurant was so dim that the faces of all the customers and waiters were hidden in the dim light.
In contrast, the twinkling lights outside the transparent floor - to - ceiling windows seemed brighter.
Lu Xue made out the situation inside the restaurant by the streetlights and car taillights outside. She walked past one table after another and was finally led to a secluded corner by a waiter.
When she sat down, a bunch of aqua - blue lights beside her seat suddenly came on, which startled her.
The black figure across from her moved: "It's okay. The seats here are like this. Once someone sits down, the light beside the seat will come on. You can tell the number of customers in the restaurant by the number of lights."
