Lu Xue lowered her head, feeling that Mu Yuze was squeezing her fingers especially tightly.
Although his tone was calm and he asked for her opinion in an inquiring tone, his fingertips were clearly hooked tightly around her fingers and refused to let go. The expression on his face clearly said: Please don't leave me.
She had been sulking silently before, but suddenly, like a gentle breeze soothing her, all her unhappiness was smoothed out. All her pent - up emotions melted away in the warm temperature of Mu Yuze's palm.
Lu Xue looked up into Mu Yuze's eyes and asked, "What if I don't agree?"
Mu Yuze squeezed her fingers even harder, looked at her seriously and replied, "Then I might be very unhappy."
Lu Xue was amused by Mu Yuze's extremely serious expression. She let out a puff of laughter, and all the unhappiness in her heart dissipated.
She thought for a while, and finally reluctantly said, "Since you've said so, I might as well reluctantly agree."
Mu Yuze seemed a bit surprised to hear this answer. He held Lu Xue's hand in disbelief, tightly squeezing it and interlacing their fingers, firmly imprisoning her hand in his palm.
"Did you really mean what you just said?"
Lu Xue nodded. "Seeing how serious you are, I felt it would be a bit heartless if I didn't agree."
Mu Yuze stared at Lu Xue for a few seconds. Finally, he was sure that Lu Xue wasn't joking and had truly agreed to his request. She was his now.
Mu Yuze softly asked, "So now I have a girlfriend?"
Lu Xue let out a soft "hmm" and dodged Mu Yuze's gaze, deliberately not looking at him. But the awkward atmosphere between them from before finally dissipated.
As the big stone in Mu Yuze's heart dropped, he seemed to taste a bit of sweetness. He tightened his arm and hugged the girl in front of him tightly in his arms.
Han Xiaolv, Ji Jingcheng, and Mu Ziyue had been waiting outside the door for a long time but didn't hear any sound from inside. Han Xiaolv paced back and forth, feeling worried.
Mu Ziyue pressed her ear against the door, trying to listen carefully to the sound inside. But unfortunately, the sound - insulation effect of Ji Jingcheng's apartment door was really good. She listened for a long time but didn't hear anything.
Mu Ziyue had no choice but to mutter to herself, "Do you think the two of them won't fight? My brother has always had a slow temper and can't express himself clearly. If he can't explain things clearly inside and makes things worse instead, will Lu Xue get really angry? A girl's anger is no joke. Will she just smash things at home?"
She was extremely worried outside. After waiting for a long time and seeing the two of them not come out, she simply said to Ji Jingcheng,
"Open the door. I'll go in and check the situation."
Ji Jingcheng was quite calm. He folded his arms and leaned on the steps beside him, shaking his head lightly.
"I don't think it's necessary. Just let the two of them talk alone. If they can't talk it out, one of them will come out first. Since neither of them has come out in this situation, it means they're still talking. This should be a process of negotiation and communication. It's a good thing."
Han Xiaolv thought Ji Jingcheng's words made a lot of sense. In fact, recently, no matter what Ji Jingcheng said, Han Xiaolv thought it was very reasonable.
Mu Ziyue had no way to deal with these two people. She had no choice but to wait patiently outside.
After about ten more minutes, the door was finally opened.
When Mu Yuze came out, he was holding Lu Xue's arm, and their fingers were tightly intertwined.
Han Xiaolv and Mu Ziyue widened their eyes, hardly believing what they saw.
In such a short time, the situation had actually reversed!
The two people who were in a cold - war when they entered the door had actually confirmed their relationship when they came out, and were now openly together.
The two exchanged a look, and Mu Ziyue quickly reacted and said, "Oh, the weather is so stuffy today! I'll go to the convenience store downstairs to buy some ice - lollies quickly!"
Han Xiaolv nodded repeatedly beside her. "I like them too! How about I go with you!"
The two girls quickly turned around and slipped away. Ji Jingcheng felt it was quite inappropriate to continue being a third wheel there. He quickly followed the two girls and rushed downstairs in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, only Mu Yuze and Lu Xue were left in the corridor.
The two of them shook their heads helplessly, having no way to deal with these three people.
Mu Yuze looked at the girl beside him and softly asked, "Move back to the old mansion today. I'll help you carry your suitcase there."
This time, Lu Xue didn't object. Mu Yuze went back to get Lu Xue's suitcase, and the two drove back to the old mansion.
After entering the door, Aunt Chen was extremely enthusiastic. "Miss Lu Xue, you're finally back! We thought you'd left and we didn't know when we'd see you again!"
Several aunts and the butler were very happy and happily welcomed them.
