Love So Sweet

175 Obstacle

The people come and go to the cinema complex. However, Mu Zhen Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Li Xue took out her phone to call him again. This time, his line was no longer busy, but Mu Zhen Yu was not picking up his phone.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Li Xue began to worry that something might be happening to him. She looked around, but she could not find the man.

She wondered if perhaps she has been gone to the restroom for too long that Mu Zhen Yu decided to leave.

Zhang Li Xue stood up and began to ask around if anyone might have seen Mu Zhen Yu. Fortunately, she still has Mu Zhen Yu’s recent photo from his company’s opening that she could use.

It was until she reached the flower shop did Zhang Li Xue finally got an answer.

The shop attendant looked at Mu Zhen Yu’s photo on the phone before giving Zhang Li Xue a quick lookover. “I’ve seen him.”

Her eyes lit up. “Do you know where he might have gone to?”

The shop attendant began to hesitate. “He left with a woman.”

.....

“A woman? Are you sure you didn’t recognize the wrong person?”

“I’m sure.” The man nodded slowly. He began to wonder if perhaps Mu Zhen Yu was two-timing the girls. “This gentleman stopped by our shop to buy a bouquet just now. Of course, I remember him.”

Zhang Li Xue was confused about what was going on. She tried to call Mu Zhen Yu repeatedly, but the man still did not pick up his phone.

After waiting for more than an hour, Mu Zhen Yu finally picked up his phone.

“Xiao Li Xue!” There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

“Brother Zhen Yu, where are you?” Zhang Li Xue asked before Mu Zhen Yu was able to say anything more.

“I-” Mu Zhen Yu glanced at the crowded hospital and heaved helplessly. “I met an acquaintance in front of the complex. She was injured and I send her over to the hospital. Xiao Li Xue, I’m sorry that I did not inform you earlier.”

“It’s fine.” Zhang Li Xue heaved a sigh in relief, knowing that the man was safe and sound. “It is important to let your friend get an early treatment first.”

“Where are you?” He thought of the countless missed calls and hesitated. “Are you still at the cinema? I’ll go over to find you.”

“No. You don’t have to,” Zhang Li Xue said quickly to stop him. “After waiting for you for a few minutes, I already left,” she lied.

Mu Zhen Yu felt very guilty after what had happened.

After sending Ye Qing to the hospital, Mu Zhen Yu was too busy to let her see a doctor. Ye Qing’s ankle began to swell and he had to accompany that girl to get her ankle checked.

Mu Zhen Yu was about to leave after everything was done, but Ye Qing’s father showed up at the hospital and he had to spend a long time talking to that man.

Ye Qing’s father was an important businessman and he could not simply ignore him.

The two spoke for a long time before Ye Qing’s father left with the doctor.

“I’m sorry.” Mu Zhen Yu’s tone was weak.

“Brother Zhen Yu, you don’t have to worry. I’m sure that your friend’s condition was quite serious. You wouldn’t leave unless it was an urgent matter, right?”

Zhang Li Xue’s words only made him feel a lot worse.

Mu Zhen Yu knew that he was at fault. Even if he had to leave with Ye Qing, he should have informed Zhang Li Xue, or at least let someone pass a message. However, he left without saying a word.

Fortunately, Zhang Li Xue was very understanding.

If it was another person, he would have been scolded for hours.

Still... Mu Zhen Yu felt that something was not quite right.

If Zhang Li Xue had left, he shouldn’t call his number a lot of times, right? Moreover... he seemed to recall that Zhang Li Xue had something to discuss with him.

“Then, should I go and find you at home?” Mu Zhen Yu said. “Xiao Li Xue, didn’t you say that you have something to talk to me about?”

Zhang Li Xue began to panic. If Mu Zhen Yu headed to her home, then he would find out that she had lied. She did not want to put him into a tight spot.

“Brother Zhen Yu, it’s alright. I didn’t go back home,” Zhang Li Xue spoke. “After I left, I went out to find Su Jin.”

Mu Zhen Yu thought of the confession that he was supposed to make and was disappointed that it was not going to happen again.

Zhang Yi Hai and the triplets might not be around, but it seemed that he would still meet an obstacle to getting together with Zhang Li Xue.

“Really?”

“Uh-huh.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “As for the matter that I wanted to talk to you about... Brother Zhen Yu, my uncle heard about your company and was interested in working together with you.”

“Your uncle?”

“Uh-huh. I wanted to introduce him to you,” Zhang Li Xue said. “If it’s alright, should I give him your number and let the two of you discuss business together?”

“Alright.” Mu Zhen Yu quickly agreed.

Since that person was Zhang Li Xue’s uncle, of course, Mu Zhen Yu was not going to say no.

“Then, Brother Zhen Yu, what about the matter that you wanted to say to me?'” Zhang Li Xue asked.

She still remembered that the man had something to say to her.

“It’s right. I will tell you next time,” Mu Zhen Yu said.

“Are you sure?” Zhang Li Xue recalled that this was not the first time that Mu Zhen Yu wanted to tell her something. “If it is important...”

“No. It’s not that important,” Mu Zhen Yu spoke quickly. “I will tell you next time.”

He was going to give her a confession and he wanted to do it face to face. An important thing such as a confession should never be done through the phone. He wanted Zhang Li Xue to see his sincerity and he wanted to see how she would react.

Mu Zhen Yu had no other choice but to postpone his confession again.
