"Just tell me. How's it going between you two? Have you held hands? Hugged? Kissed?"
As she spoke, Mu Ziyue started to shake Lu Xue's arm. "We're good sisters. Just tell me quickly!"
Lu Xue silently poked at the half - bowl of soup in her bowl and didn't intend to answer Mu Ziyue's question.
After asking for a long time, Mu Ziyue felt a bit discouraged. Finally, she slowly said, "Forget it. I'll ask about this later. By the way, when are you two planning to get married? I can start making preparations for you right now. I know a lot of friends!"
Lu Xue coughed lightly, turned her head to look at Mu Ziyue and said, "Isn't this a bit too early? We just got together. Talking about marriage seems a bit far - fetched."
Mu Ziyue widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "How could it be far - fetched? Anyway, you'll marry my brother sooner or later. You might as well think about it now. If you have enough time to prepare, you might even be able to polish the details of the wedding a few more times."
Lu Xue paused for a while. Her hand stopped moving. She turned to ask Mu Ziyue.
"Why do you say I'll marry your brother sooner or later? Even I can't be sure about this."
Mu Ziyue blurted out, "It's simple. Because your marriage has been written in the will. My brother will definitely marry you. Who else could he marry? He can't go against Grandpa's wishes!"
Lu Xue paused even longer. This time, her face also changed slightly. She just stared at Mu Ziyue.
"What will did you just mention? What engagement? What do all these mean? Tell me."
After saying this, Mu Ziyue felt it was a bit inappropriate. She felt she might have accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
But then she thought that since her brother and Lu Xue were already together and were a proper couple, it wouldn't be a big deal to discuss this matter.
"I'll just tell you the truth. Actually, in the very beginning, Grandpa's will clearly stated that he hoped to adopt you as a foster daughter of our family. At the same time, he also hoped that my brother would marry you and use the engagement to make up for you."
"My brother is so filial and has always listened to Grandpa. Since there's an engagement, he definitely won't get involved with other girls. If you don't agree to marry him, he might be a bachelor for the rest of his life."
As she spoke, Mu Ziyue felt a bit sorry for her brother for just three seconds and asked eagerly, "Lu Xue, are you really willing to let my brother be a bachelor for life?"
Lu Xue didn't answer her because she was shocked by the amount of information in this statement.
It turned out that in the beginning, Grandpa not only proposed to adopt her back to the hometown but also had such a ridiculous engagement.
However, Mu Yuze agreed to the engagement in the will because he wanted to follow his grandfather's wishes. But what did this have to do with Lu Xue?
Lu Xue felt that she had never even met this elder before and was completely unfamiliar with him. Just because of his words, should she be obediently arranged to get married? This was completely different from what she had imagined.
Seeing that Lu Xue's face seemed a bit off, Mu Ziyue leaned over and asked carefully, "What's wrong with you? Your face looks a bit pale. Don't tell me you really plan to let my brother be a bachelor for life?"
Lu Xue put down her chopsticks. She felt a breath stuck in her chest, but she couldn't even tell clearly why she was so angry.
Maybe it was because Mu Yuze had been hiding this from her for so long. She was also angry that everyone had arranged her life so casually without her consent.
"So Mu Yuze knew I was his fiancée from the moment he saw me?" Lu Xue asked calmly.
Mu Ziyue nodded. "Of course he knew. My brother isn't stupid. He probably regarded you as his fiancée in his heart all along. He just didn't dare to tell you for fear that you wouldn't adapt well."
Lu Xue was silent for a while and then asked, "Then why didn't he tell me the truth until now?"
Mu Ziyue scratched her head. "I'm not sure about this. Brother probably has his own plans."
Lu Xue sat at the dinner table for a while. She looked down at the white shrimp in her bowl. Suddenly, her heart felt blocked again.
She stood up and walked straight upstairs without looking back.
Mu Ziyue quickly followed behind and asked, "What's going on? Lu Xue, why are you suddenly angry? Did I say something wrong just now?"
Lu Xue returned to her room, opened the door, and directly took out her suitcase to start packing her things.
Mu Ziyue was really frightened by Lu Xue's actions. She wanted to step forward to dissuade her, but Lu Xue didn't stop. In a blink of an eye, most of the things in the room had been packed, and the suitcase was filled to the brim.
Lu Xue was expressionless. She closed the suitcase, locked it, and then carried the suitcase out.
Mu Ziyue finally realized that something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to dissuade her.
"Don't be angry. Maybe I didn't express myself well. Why don't you go and ask my brother directly?"
