Just in time, Mu Zhen Yu raised his head and met her gaze.

Zhang Li Xue waved her hand at him before walking over to his table.

“Brother Zhen Yu, have you been waiting for a long time?” Zhang Li Xue spoke as she pulled over the chair and sat across from him.

There was a hint of helplessness in his gaze.

Mu Zhen Yu had stood up and was about to pull the chair for her. However, Zhang Li Xue moved faster. He sat down and smiled. “No. I just got here myself.”

Zhang Li Xue put her purse aside and looked up when the waitress came over with the cafe menu. The two of them placed their order of food and drinks before the waitress walked away.

“Brother Zhen Yu, are you not that busy today?”

“Not bad.” Mu Zhen Yu smiled. “Whatever it is, I need to make time to hang out with you. Besides, it’s the weekend. I can’t always be looking at those documents.” He reached the empty chair beside him and pulled out a bouquet of red roses. “For you.”

.....

Zhang Li Xue stared at the flowers with a dumbfounded look. Her hand stretched out slowly to take the bouquet from his hand. The scent of the roses wafted to her nose. “Brother Zhen Yu, what is this for?”

“My apology,” Mu Zhen Yu said. “Last time, I left you at the cinema without saying a word.”

A smile bloomed on her lips. “Brother Zhen Yu, you don’t have to do this. Thank you. They are beautiful.”

Mu Zhen Yu was glad that Zhang Li Xue seemed to like the flowers.

Last time, he also bought her a bouquet of roses. However, something happened and he did not have the chance to give her the bouquet.

He took a sip from his glass and turned to Zhang Li Xue again. “I didn’t know that you had an apartment nearby this area.”

Zhang Li Xue placed the bouquet beside her and looked up. “Mmm... It was only recently. I heard that the construction was completed and come to look at the place.”

‘There are several apartment buildings near this area. Which one is yours?”

Zhang Li Xue tried to recall the name. “It’s Y City Serene Apartment. It’s the one nearby the lake.”

“I know that one.” Mu Zhen Yu nodded. “If you need any help, you can come over and find me. My office isn’t that far from your apartment.”

Zhang Li Xue chuckled. “I’m not planning to stay here. Just that, my mom reminded me that I need to inspect the place.”

Mu Zhen Yu’s phone on the table buzzed. He looked at the caller ID and frowned. After a brief hesitation, Mu Zhen Yu decided to reject the call. He looked at Zhang Li Xue and smiled.

Zhang Li Xue was about to speak when Mu Zhen Yu’s phone began to buzz again.

This time, Mu Zhen Yu did not wait for a long time. His hand moved quickly to reject the call.

“Brother Zhen Yu, if it is something important, you should go and answer your call,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I’ll be fine.”

“No. It’s nothing.” Mu Zhen Yu waved his hand. “Just some persistent insurance agents wanting to sell me her policy.” Swiftly, he turned his phone to silent mode.

Hearing his words, Zhang Li Xue decided not to inquire more about it. She did not think that it was proper to probe into his private matter.

The waitress walked over with their order of food.

Zhang Li Xue looked at the pasta in front of her and felt her stomach start to grumble.

The two of them began to eat their meal while catching up.

All this while, someone was still trying to reach for Mu Zhen Yu. However, seeing the name on the screen, Mu Zhen Yu decided to ignore the call for a while longer.

This time, he had already made his decision. Before he could speak properly to Zhang Li Xue, he would not allow anything to interrupt him.

As for his company matters... his partners would be able to handle them while he was not around, right?

Seeing that Zhang Li Xue had finished eating, Mu Zhen Yu could not help feeling anxious. He watched as the girl took a sip of her drink and clenched his hands into tight fists.

The lunch hour had ended a while ago and there were only a few people around the cafe.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Zhen Yu then opened his mouth. “Xiao Li Xue.”

The girl looked up. There was a hint of puzzlement on her face when she noticed the anxious look on Mu Zhen Yu’s expression. “Brother Zhen Yu, what is it.”

“I have something to tell you.”

Zhang Li Xue put down the glass in her hand. “What is it?”

His heartbeat accelerated. Mu Zhen Yu was anxious, but he knew that if he missed this chance, it would be difficult to find another one.

“Xiao Li Xue, I like you.” His shoulder felt lighter once he said those words. “Would you want to go out with me?”

Her eyes widened in surprise. Zhang Li Xue had never thought that Mu Zhen Yu would suddenly confess to her.

Mu Zhen Yu... liked her?

For a moment, Zhang Li Xue did not know how she should react.

Mu Zhen Yu lowered his gaze when he saw the look on her face. “Are you surprised?” A faint smile curled on his lips. “To tell you the truth, I have liked you for a long time. Probably from high school. But I wanted to wait until we both grow up... I-”

Zhang Li Xue snapped out of her trance and quickly compose her thoughts. She took a deep breath and spoke, “Brother Zhen Yu, thank you for liking me. However, I cannot accept your feelings.”

The smile on Mu Zhen Yu’s face froze. “What? Why?” He could not process this rejection.

“I have someone I like.”

Mu Zhen Yu recalled the words that his classmate had told him yesterday. “You’re dating someone...”

Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Yes.”

“Did your family know about this?”

A slight frown appeared on her face. Zhang Li Xue did not think that this matter was any of his concerns. However, she still gave him an answer. “My mother knows about him.”

The light in his eyes slowly dimmed. “Was it someone I know?”

Zhang Li Xue thought that Bai Qi had left the country when they were little and Mu Zhen Yu probably did not remember him. “You probably don’t know him.”

In the end, he was still too late, wasn’t he?

His heart throbbed in pain.

Mu Zhen Yu was not willing to accept this news. He stared at her eyes for a long time before asking. “Do you really like him?”
