Aunt Chen's eyes were also full of curiosity. "Actually, I've always thought they were a perfect match! But seeing that Miss Lu Xue didn't seem interested, I didn't dare to say too much. But now it seems they're getting along quite well. Maybe something's going on between them."
Mu Ziyue was extremely eager to know how their relationship was progressing. So, while Lu Xue went to fetch potted plants from afar, she quickly rushed to her brother's side and started to fish for information.
"Brother, how far have you and Lu Xue gone?"
Mu Yuze glanced at her. The gentle smile he had when facing Lu Xue quickly faded into a poker - face when it came to his younger sister.
He just ruffled Mu Ziyue's hair and said indifferently, "Have you finished your homework?"
With that serious look, he resembled an old - fashioned elder.
Mu Ziyue lowered her head, feeling a bit wronged, and slunk back.
Since she couldn't get any answers from her brother, she decided that when her brother went to work, she would go to Lu Xue and try to find out.
Lu Xue smiled at Mu Ziyue and didn't elaborate, just saying vaguely, "We've had some work - related contacts recently, so we've been closer than usual."
Mu Ziyue asked, "Is it really just that?"
Lu Xue took a sip of milk, looked at her sideways, and just smiled without answering. Then she walked gracefully into the back garden to tend to the potted plants.
Her behavior clearly indicated that she was being mysterious and trying to pique Mu Ziyue's curiosity, which made Mu Ziyue unhappy.
Since she couldn't get any definite answers from the two people involved, she contacted some people she knew in the company and asked them to help find out about Lu Xue's situation.
Since Lu Xue said they had work - related contacts, maybe the people in the company would know something?
After making inquiries, Mu Ziyue finally got some information from the junior assistant.
"I heard that the boss is organizing an art exhibition related to Miss Lu Xue, so Miss Lu Xue has been coming to our company quite often these days."
Mu Ziyue immediately understood. "No wonder! I knew it. My brother must be showing off his affection."
Since learning that her brother and Lu Xue were getting along well, Mu Ziyue would always wear a smile on her face when going out.
Sometimes when she was daydreaming alone in the room, she would even fantasize about what it would be like if Lu Xue became her sister - in - law and there were some cute kids in the family.
Once when Mu Ziyue was free and chatting with Aunt Chen at home, she said happily, "If there are some kids in the family in the future, I'll order them around every day! Make them do my homework and tidy up my room for me!"
Aunt Chen was amused. "My young lady, those little kids won't be able to do so many things!"
"I don't care. I'll teach them myself!"
As the art exhibition was approaching, Mu Yuze and Lu Xue had to spend a great deal of time together due to work.
Sometimes Lu Xue would discuss the art exhibition with Mu Yuze at home, and sometimes they would be in the company's office, each buried in a pile of documents.
Lu Xue came up with some good ideas to help Mu Yuze perfect the exhibition plan.
However, to implement these ideas, they needed to check many details on - site.
So during this period, Lu Xue would go to the site every day, supervise the workers during construction, and have boxed lunches with everyone.
Mu Yuze probably couldn't bear to see Lu Xue working so hard. Without hesitation, he asked Yan Hua to take over the remaining work from Lu Xue, and he dragged Lu Xue back home without giving her a chance to object.
"I just want to contribute more to the exhibition," Lu Xue said seriously.
Mu Yuze let out a soft "hmm" and spoke just as seriously.
"But you also need to take care of your health. There can't be any mistakes before the exhibition. After all, you'll be the center of attention that day. Getting enough rest and being in the best condition for the media is what you should do."
Unable to refute, Lu Xue just let out a soft "hmm" and obediently agreed.
These days, almost everyone was busy. Han Xiaolv was dealing with many matters related to the exhibition, Ji Jingcheng was busy preparing his upcoming collection for publication, and Yan Hua and Mu Yuze were constantly on the go in the company.
Mu Ziyue, on the other hand, was bored. Since it was almost the end of the semester and all the exams were over, she simply went out to hang out with her girlfriends at bars.
At a party, Mu Ziyue met Ding Muyun again.
Ding Muyun saw Mu Ziyue from afar, smiled, and came over to say hello.
"I haven't seen Mu Yuze for a long time. How has he been recently?"
Mu Ziyue didn't feel like dealing with her and just said vaguely, "My brother has been really busy recently. He doesn't have time to see you. Don't come looking for him anymore."
