Love So Sweet

Chapter 54



Mu Zhen Yu was her playmate. Their mother were friends and the two would often bring their children along when they met.

It could be said that Zhang Li Xue had grown up with Mu Zhen Yu by her side.

She skipped a year and went to school earlier than those her age. Back then, Mu Zhen Yu would often act like the elder brother and look after her.

The two of them were together from elementary school to high school. Seeing that they were close, some people began to gossip about them.

The school prohibited puppy love and they both got into trouble because of those rumors. They were called into the teacher’s office and had to clarify their relationship.

The last time she had seen Mu Zhen Yu was after high school. The man told her that he was planning to continue his study in G Country a week before he departed.

Zhang Li Xue had thought that his leave was too sudden. However, Mu Zhen Yu told her that he wanted to go early and learned G Country’s language.

She remember that she was sad to see him leaving. But Mu Zhen Yu had made his decision and she could only support his ambition.

.....

In the beginning, the two of them would still communicate. However, as time pass by, Mu Zhen Yu was too busy with his course while she was busy with the university’s basketball tournament. Just like that, the number of times they contacted each other was reduced and soon, they stopped.

It seemed that they haven’t seen each other for around seven, or eight years?

Zhang Li Xue wondered if Mu Zhen Yu would look the same.

Years have passed. Both of them should have changed a lot too, right?

Would they recognize each other at the banquet?

How should she react when she saw him at the banquet? What should she say?

Zhang Li Xue could not help but feel that this meeting with Mu Zhen Yu would be awkward. At least for her.

Actually, she also has a secret.

In the past, she might have liked Mu Zhen Yu. It was the kind of feelings that a girl would often have for a boy.

The boy had always stayed by her side. It would be a lie to say that her heart was never moved. Especially since Mu Zhen Yu had always treated her special.

However, Zhang Li Xue had buried that feeling in her heart and never brought them up.

Zhang Li Xue decided that she would not tell him about it. She did not want her confession to become a troublesome thing for him as he was leaving. She did not want to be the reason to hinder his study.

But after years of not seeing each other, Zhang Li Xue did not know whether she liked Mu Zhen Yu as much as she did in the past. Perhaps after years, that feeling had faded as well. Perhaps, her feelings towards him were not that deep.

A sharp knock was heard on the door, snapping her out of her trance.

“Sister, are you ready?” Zhang Yi Hai’s voice came on the other side of the door.

“Almost!” Zhang Li Xue shouted back. “Just give me five minutes!”

“Then, I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke before he walked away.

Knowing that the others were waiting for her, Zhang Li Xue finally picked up a dusty blue dress with flutter sleeves in her wardrobe. Fortunately, she had already applied her makeup. After combing her hair into a high ponytail, Zhang Li Xue finally came out to meet her family downstairs.

Her family gave her a lookover.

“This is the dress that I bought for you the other day, right?” Her mother, Li Qin Yao said. She gave a nod in approval and spoke, “It suits you well.”

Initially, her father and brother wanted her to change into something less attractive. However, since her mother had spoken, the two men could only swallow their words.

Since her mother had said that the dress suited her well, the others could not object.

In this household, no one should go against her mother’s words.

The family of four went into the car with Zhang Yi Hai driving. Now that both Zhang Yu Han and Li Qin Yao were older, the two of them enjoyed being chauffeured by their children.

Zhang Yi Hai glanced at his sister as the car stopped at the red light. His face turned darker knowing they were all going to the Mu family’s banquet to welcome back Mu Zhen Yu.

From an early age, Zhang Yi Hai did not like Mu Zhen Yu that much.

That man always wanted to preoccupy his sister’s time, taking his sister away from him. Fortunately, his sister adored him and the triplets a lot.

When they were young, Zhang Yi Hai and the triplets would often play tricks so that his sister would not pay too much attention to Mu Zhen Yu.

Zhang Yi Hai was the happiest when Mu Zhen Yu decided to continue his study overseas. After a long time has passed, he had thought that the boy would no longer return.

Who would have thought that his return to Y City would be celebrated like this?

Now that he was in college, Zhang Yi Hai could not keep his eyes on his sister all the time. He was starting to worry that Mu Zhen Yu would make a move on his sister.

After half an hour on the road, their vehicle finally reached the Mu family’s residence.

These days, the Mu family business was thriving and there were a lot of people who wanted to get close to them.

Because of that, there were a lot of people attending this banquet. Many were looking forward to getting close to the family.

Hearing that it was the eldest son who had returned, many had brought their daughters and hoped to introduce them to Mu Zhen Yu.

Zhang Yi Hai dropped his parents and sister at the door before finding the parking spot. When he was done, he quickly went inside to look for his sister.
