Chapter 702 Lying
Chapter 702 Lying
The night is dark and the dim lights cast mottled shadows under the trees.
Zhen Meili sat in the pavilion with a gentle smile on her face, and said in a gentle voice: "Mu Xue, don't be nervous. I came to you not to blame you, but to tell you something very important."
She deliberately softened her tone, trying to diffuse the tense atmosphere in the air.
When Mu Xue heard this, her heart tightened inexplicably, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes. She blurted out, "Is there something important?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes and lowered her head slightly, as if she was avoiding something.
Seeing this, Zhen Meili hurried forward and gently patted Mu Xue's shoulder.
Comforting him, "Look, don't be so nervous. We are a family now, and we have to take care of each other in the future.
I haven't asked anything yet, don't be so nervous, as if I'm bullying you." Her voice became softer and her face was full of concern.
After hearing this, Mu Xue's face turned pale and red, and she was very embarrassed.
Thinking back to when she first entered the Gu family, Zhen Meili's domineering attitude gave her a warning, but now she acted in a friendly manner, saying that they were a family. This really made it hard for her to believe.
But living under someone else's roof, no matter how unhappy she was, she had to endure it.
After all, she wanted to become the mistress of the Gu family, so what did this little grievance mean? Maybe if she endured for a while longer, her dream would come true.
Thinking of this, Mu Xue quickly adjusted her expression, put on a sweet smile, and said in a tender voice: "Mom, since you said it's important, then tell me quickly, I'm so curious."
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.
Zhen Meili leaned closer, a hint of inquiry flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you staying in the same room with Jingchen tonight? Are you sleeping in the same bed? Did you two have that..."
When the words came to her lips, she paused a little embarrassedly, but there was still an expectant look on her face.
Mu Xue's eyes rolled when she heard this. She secretly guessed Zhen Meili's intentions and asked tentatively, "Mom, why are you asking me this? We just met... This question is not very good. How about we talk about it later?"
She bit her lower lip slightly, with an expression of shyness and confusion on her face.
Zhen Meili continued, "That won't do. I know you two just met and there must be some unfamiliarity. But doesn't Jingchen think of you as Gong Mingxue now?
He was deeply in love with Gong Mingxue and hugged you the first time he saw you.
I think you guys should be together tonight... If not, that's okay, maybe he still has some concerns about you."
As she spoke, she stared closely into Mu Xue's eyes, not missing any change in expression on her face.
Mu Xue keenly noticed that Zhen Meili was suspicious of her, and she suddenly became panicked.
The words that Gu Jingchen had said to her in the room were still echoing in her ears. She had already felt that something was not right, and now she was even more afraid that Zhen Meili would be disappointed in her because of this incident and even kick her out.
At this critical moment, Mu Xue thought quickly and said, "Mom, I'm embarrassed to tell you just now. I overslept and was too tired. So I didn't answer your call. I'm so sorry.
You should understand what I just said. Actually, you also know that I am embarrassed to tell you, and I hope you can keep it a secret. "
As she spoke, she secretly observed Zhen Meili's reaction, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
When Zhen Meili heard this, a smile immediately spread across her face, and she said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, that's great.
I was worried that Jingchen would suspect you, but now after hearing what you said, all my doubts are gone.
Jingchen really didn't recognize you, that's great! You are indeed the one I have my eyes on. In a few days, go to the company with Jingchen, and you must assist him well. Oh, by the way,
Didn't you work as the vice president of Gu Group before? This is even better, you two are really a perfect match!" She became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes full of satisfaction.
Mu Xue had just felt disgusted by Zhen Meili's words, but now hearing such praise, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She quickly said, "Thank you, Mom. It's just as you said. I will definitely assist him well. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"
She straightened her back and a confident smile appeared on her face.
Zhen Meili was in a good mood and said, "That's great. I'll ask you if I have anything to ask you.
You have to tell me, don't forget, you have always stood by me,
Don't betray me, go to bed early tonight and have breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Okay... Mom, don't worry, I will always be on your side."
Mu Xue responded with a smile and watched Zhen Meili leave.
After Zhen Meili's figure disappeared at the door, she scratched her head gently and slowly walked towards the garden exit.

At the same time, on the balcony of the villa, Qian Mo pointed to a place not far away and said excitedly: "Look over there, isn't it very beautiful? The lights there are bright, adding a touch of warm color to the dark night sky. Isn't it beautiful?"
There was a gleam in his eyes and an intoxicated look on his face.
Qianxue looked in the direction of his finger and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful! Standing on the balcony, feeling the breeze, my mood becomes particularly comfortable. This is probably the feeling of freedom! Suddenly I want to go out for a ride!" She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the comfort of the breeze on her face.
Qianmo turned to look at Qianxue, his eyes full of love, and said, "It seems that you really yearn for freedom!"
Qianxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "I don't know why, but I just like the feeling of being free.
Sometimes I enjoy loneliness. I feel it’s good to be alone and immerse myself in my own world.
In fact, sometimes I want to travel alone and enjoy myself in my own space.
But I am quite contradictory, I like being alone, but I am also afraid of being alone. I want to travel alone, but I am worried about getting lost.
Besides, traveling alone can be very lonely! This really confuses me." She frowned slightly, with a trace of confusion on her face.
Qian Mo smiled softly and said, "It seems that you both enjoy and fear loneliness. But it doesn't matter. If you want to travel or go for a drive in the future, you can always find me.
I am your boyfriend, I will always be by your side and help you!" He gently held Qianxue's hand, giving her warm strength.
