Love So Sweet

The corner of his lips gradually turned up as he thought of what he was going to tell her. Then, slowly, his hand gripped tightly into a fist. Mu Zhen Yu got more anxious as he thought of what will happen and how will Zhang Li Xue react.

He had waited for years for this moment to happen.

Now that her little brother and the triplets were not around, Mu Zhen Yu was confident that at least, there will be no one around to disturb him when he make his confession.

Mu Zhen Yu took out his phone again to check on the reservation he made for their lunch.

He believed that he had made his preparation well.

Mu Zhen Yu was confident that his chance was relatively high. After all, he had never heard about Zhang Li Xue dating anyone while he was away.

The two of them had known each other for a while. Mu Zhen Yu believed that the girl would give him a chance to change their relationship into something more...

Mu Zhen Yu raised his head to look around, hoping that Zhang Li Xue would appear soon. Just then, he spotted a small stall selling fresh flowers.

.....

His eyes lit up. Mu Zhen Yu walked over to the side and started to browse through a few of them. Then, he picked up a small bouquet of red roses and paid for it.

“President Mu?”

Mu Zhen Yu heard the familiar voice and turned around. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw who it was. “Miss Ye?”

Ye Qing smiled brightly. “I thought that I might get the wrong person. I didn’t think that it was really you. Are you here to watch a movie as well?”

“Uh-huh.” Mu Zhen Yu nodded.

“Me too. This is a coincidence. That new action movie was quite good and a lot of people were recommending it.”

Ye Qing was about to speak again when she saw the bouquet in the man’s hand. However, she quickly noticed that Mu Zhen Yu was alone.

“President Ye, are you here on a date?” Ye Qing asked. There was a hint of teasing in her tone, but her eyes stayed vigilant.

“Uh-huh. You could say that I am on a date.” Mu Zhen Yu smiled. He glanced at the restroom area and saw that Zhang Li Xue has not returned.

After the movie ended, there were a number of people heading to the restroom area.

Perhaps there was a long queue before it was Zhang Li Xue’s turn.

Because Mu Zhen Yu was looking away, he failed to see the faint hint of disappointment in Ye Qing’s eyes. She followed Mu Zhen Yu’s gaze and quickly figured out what was happening.

“Your date should be a fortunate person,” Ye Qing said. The smile on her lips stiffened when he saw the gentle look on Mu Zhen Yu’s face.

“What about you, Miss Ye? Are you alone?”

“I came with my friend. However, she had to leave quickly due to an emergency,” Ye Qing said. “Then, I won’t disturb you and your date. President Mu, have fun.”

“Thank you, Miss Ye.” Mu Zhen Yu said. “I’ll come to your office later to discuss our business together.”

“Alright.” Ye Qing nodded. She turned around to leave, but after a meter away she accidentally took a wrong step and slipped.

Fortunately, Ye Qing was able to support her body on the wall, preventing her from falling.

Mu Zhen Yu was still watching her when she slipped.

Sensing that something did not seem right, Mu Zhen Yu quickly went to her side.

The Ye Group was one of his major business partners. The amount of money that Ye Qing’s father had invested in his company would make his company comfortable for a year.

Since Ye Qing was not far away from him, Mu Zhen Yu could not turn a blind eye.

He walked over to Ye Qing and asked, “Miss Ye, are you alright?”

Ye Qing looked up and forced an assuring smile. “I’m alright.” She tried to stand up but fell down again. Her brow wrinkled as she was in deep pain.

Mu Zhen Yu began to panic. “What’s going on?”

“I think I might have sprained my ankle.”

Mu Zhen Yu lowered his gaze to look at Ye Qing’s high heels. It was quite high and Mu Zhen Yu did not doubt that the girl might really sprain her ankle from walking in the shoes.

“Can you walk?” Mu Zhen Yu asked.

“I can try.” Ye Qing took a step forward and stopped again. The pain around her ankle was just too much. “I don’t think I can take another step.” She hesitated for a brief second before speaking again. “President Mu, can I trouble you to take me over to the mall’s entrance?”

“The mall’s entrance?”

“I’m taking the taxi to head back home,” Ye Qing said. “But I can’t walk with this foot. I can only hope that you can help.” She bit her lips as if considering something. “Or, I can just ask someone else.”

“Nonsense.” Mu Zhen Yu shot a warning look at the woman. “You are injured. Why are you heading home? Let’s go to the hospital first to get you a check-up.”

Ye Qing was about to speak when Mu Zhen Yu had spoken.’

“It hasn’t been a long time since you injured your legs. Miss Ye, you should go to the hospital to get a check up.,” Mu Zhen Yu said. “I will take you there.”

Ye Qing seemed to be considering his words for a while. Then, she nodded. “I’ll be counting on you.”

Just like that, Mu Zhen Yu let Ye Qing hold the flowers while he helped her to leave. Worried that Ye Qing’s injury might worsen, Mu Zhen Yu did not delay for too long.

His attention was on Ye Qing that he had seemed to forget that he was supposed to be waiting for someone else.

When Zhang Li Xue finally walked out of the restroom, there were not many people around the place. She looked around but could not find Mu Zhen Yu where he should be waiting for her.

Her frown deepened. Zhang Li Xue took her phone and dialed the man’s number, however, his line seemed to be busy.

Thinking that he might have stepped away for a while to take a call, Zhang Li Xue decided to sit down on a bench and wait for him.
