"Sorry, I forgot about that meeting that night," Lu Xue apologized.
Han Xiaolu replied, "It's okay. I've re - contacted them and set a new meeting place. But this time, we must arrive on time. We can't break our promise."
Lu Xue nodded and asked, "When is the meeting you've arranged?"
Han Xiaolu checked the calendar and said, "How about this time the day after tomorrow? Should be okay, right?"
Lu Xue thought for a while. She was fine now and had promised Mu Yuze to go back with him. If nothing unexpected happened, they could set off tomorrow, and it wouldn't be too rushed for the meeting the day after tomorrow.
She nodded and replied, "No problem. Let's settle it like this."
Han Xiaolu sighed in relief and said, "Then I'll head back. You must show up on time the morning after tomorrow. Don't disappear this time!"
After saying that, Lu Xue hung up the phone.
Just as she put down the phone, Mu Yuze came in from outside. He brought a glass of water and placed it beside Lu Xue's bed.
Lu Xue sat up and took a sip of water. Then she said to Mu Yuze, "Can we set off to go back tomorrow?"
Mu Yuze had long hoped that Lu Xue would go back with him. Seeing her bring it up, he nodded in agreement.
"No problem. We'll set off early tomorrow. How's your health?"
Lu Xue smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm fine. It's not a good idea to stay here all the time. Besides, there must be a lot of things waiting for you at your company!"
After their relationship thawed, they got along much more harmoniously.
Mu Yuze sat beside Lu Xue's bed, took her hand, and said, "Don't just leave home without a word like that again. Discuss everything with me, okay?"
Lu Xue nodded and said, "I know."
The next morning, they set off early. Mu Yuze carried Lu Xue's suitcase and put it in the trunk. He also wrapped several small blankets around her so that she could cover herself with them and take a nap if she felt sleepy on the way.
By evening, they finally arrived at the old mansion. Aunt Chen and several butlers had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw the two of them coming back, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward to greet them.
Aunt Chen pulled Lu Xue aside and asked about her well - being, looking her up and down.
"What did you eat these days? Did you sleep well? You seem to have lost some weight!"
Aunt Chen felt sorry for her and pulled her into the kitchen.
"I've stewed a pot of tonic soup. It's still warm on the stove. Drink a few bowls quickly. Then take a good bath and have a good sleep."
Lu Xue looked at the stew pot bubbling with soup and smiled. "Aunt Chen, I've just recovered from my illness. I can't eat anything too rich yet. Maybe in a few days."
When Aunt Chen heard that Lu Xue had had a fever and been ill a few days ago, she felt even more sorry for her.
Mu Ziyue was standing alone on the steps, watching the people below and not daring to come down rashly.
She still remembered that Lu Xue had left home because of her words. She felt a bit guilty and didn't dare to show up.
It was Lu Xue who looked up and noticed Mu Ziyue standing awkwardly at the corner of the stairs.
So she smiled and invited Mu Ziyue to come down. Mu Ziyue carefully glanced at her brother's face in the distance.
Seeing that Mu Yuze's expression was calm and it seemed that he didn't mind what had happened before, she finally summoned up the courage to come down with Lu Xue.
That day, the atmosphere in the old mansion was very harmonious. Everyone was celebrating the return of the young master and Miss Lu Xue.
After Mu Ziyue carefully checked her brother's expression at first, she gradually became bolder. She quickly forgot about her previous guilt and started to plan to hold a party in the old mansion.
Lu Xue still remembered that she had a meeting with a business partner the next day, so she didn't dare to drink. She just made an excuse and quickly went upstairs.
Mu Ziyue complained behind her, "Why are you so cold to me as soon as you come back? I just wanted to hold a party to celebrate!"
Mu Yuze watched Lu Xue's back as she rushed upstairs and said calmly to Mu Ziyue, "She's just recovered from an illness and needs to rest."
Mu Ziyue just said "oh" and didn't dare to act recklessly in front of her brother. So the idea of holding a party was nipped in the bud.
At night, Lu Xue was in her studio, organizing the photos and materials for her upcoming personal collection. After finishing, she sent them to Ji Jingcheng. After chatting about some work - related matters, she went to bed early.
Mu Yuze was holding the midnight snack that Aunt Chen had forced on him. He paced back and forth in the corridor outside the door for a while.
He gently knocked on Lu Xue's door and asked if she was hungry.
Lu Xue's voice came through the door vaguely, "No, thanks. I've already gone to bed."
Mu Yuze just replied with an "um", then silently turned around and carried the things back to the kitchen.
As he put the things down, he felt a bit disappointed.
