Love So Sweet

Chapter 225

225 Mu Zhen Yu Began to Panic

On the weekend, Zhang Li Xue decided to head over to the west side of the city to look at the house that her Uncle Li Mu Bai had gifted to her.

A few days ago, her mother had reminded her about this property.

The construction has been completed and she was supposed to come over and inspect the place.

Knowing that she would come for an inspection, her mother had arranged for someone to come and help.

As she arrived at the property, Zhang Li Xue entered the premise and walked around the place. It was a three-bedroom apartment. With a little bit of renovation, the place should be ready to move in.

Zhang Li Xue had looked at the amenities around the apartment and thought that the place would be suitable for the siblings.

What she liked the most about the apartment was the lighting as well as the view that faced a small lake.

Although this place was a little farther from the hospital, the public transportation was good and the traffic was not as bad.

As she was looking around the place, the person who came to help her arrived. Zhang Li Xue quickly recognized the elder woman as Ning Xin, the person who had once worked with her mother.

.....

After a brief exchange, the two of them went around the house and the woman made a few suggestions for the apartment.

Zhang Li Xue planned to ask Bai Qi about the apartment before she could proceed with the renovation. After all, it was the siblings who were going to stay in the apartment.

At this time, Zhang Li Xue did not have any plan to move out of her parent’s house. She still wanted to accompany her parents for a while longer.

If Bai Qi was not interested in this property, Zhang Li Xue planned to rent it out to someone else. At least, she would get an additional income instead of letting the house be inhabited.

Zhang Li Xue was still discussing with Ning Xin when her phone rang.

She looked at the caller ID and excused herself.

Zhang Li Xue walked to the balcony and picked up the phone. “Brother Zhen Yu.”

“Xiao Li Xue, what are you doing?”

From where she stood, Zhang Li Xue could see the basketball court nearby the lake garden. “Nothing much. I was looking at some apartment.”

“Are you planning to move out?”

“No.” Zhang Li Xue laughed. “I recently got a property and I’m supposed to come for an inspection.”

The two of them exchanged a few words before Mu Zhen Yu spoke of the reason he called. “Xiao Li Xue, I meant to call you earlier. It’s just that, there were some problems with the company...”

Zhang Li Xue quickly recalled their last meeting outside the restaurant a few days ago.

Mu Zhen Yu told her that he wanted to hang out and will call to set an appointment. However, Zhang Li Xue did not get any call or text from him.

“It’s fine. Brother Zhen Yu, your company is still new. I understand that there are a lot of things to do.” Zhang Li Xue could not help thinking that this kind of conversation has been repeated a few times.

“Then, are you free right now? I was wondering if you want to go out and have a meal?” Mu Zhen Yu clenched his hand into a tight fist as he waited for her answer.

Initially, Mu Zhen Yu wanted to contact Zhang Li Xue earlier. However, after discussing a collaboration with the Ye Group, Miss Ye Qing said that there were some problems with the contract that they needed to change.

These past few days, Mu Zhen Yu has been working hard to satisfy his client.

Who would have thought that he would hear a shocking rumor yesterday?

Mu Zhen Yu met an old classmate on the street and he mentioned seeing Zhang Li Xue with another man on the street.

According to this classmate, the two of them were quite intimate. He might not get a clear look at Zhang Li Xue and her partner’s faces. However, this classmate was confident that he would not recognize the wrong person.

Mu Zhen Yu did not want to believe this rumor. He knew that it would not be easy for Zhang Li Xue to date someone. Her family members would not make things easy. After all, he had witnessed how Zhang Li Xue’s brother and father slowly drive away the boys who wanted to pursue her.

After parting with that classmate, he has been thinking about this matter a lot.

Then, Mu Zhen Yu began to panic.

Mu Zhen Yu has been trying to pursue Zhang Li Xue for years. However, her brother would always be around, preventing him from being alone with her.

However, seeing her brothers and father’s protection, Mu Zhen Yu became confident that no one else would stand a chance to be with her.

Moreover, their mother was a good friend and Mu Zhen Yu thought that he had an advantage.

Although he still believed that it would not be easy for Zhang Li Xue to date someone, he was still uneasy about it. His instinct told him that he had to act fast or he might lose his chance.

Mu Zhen Yu was supposed to be making a few adjustments to the contract and discussing a few matters with Miss Ye Qing. However, he decided to take a few hours off and hope that he could meet with Zhang Li Xue sooner.

He knew that he could no longer delay this meeting.

Zhang Li Xue glanced at her wristwatch and spoke, “I’m free.”

Mu Zhen Yu let out a breath of relief. “Then, where are you? I’ll go and pick you up?”

Zhang Li Xue seemed to recall that Mu Zhen Yu’s office was somewhere on the west side as well. It was quite close to her apartment.

“Brother Zhen Yu, there’s no need. Since I’m outside, it would be inconvenient for you to pick me up,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I’m somewhere close to your office. I think, there are a few restaurants around there. How about we have our meal there?”
