232 JANUSs OLD FRIEND (1/2)
”Err... I--I-- h-heard it from Long Yue! Yes, h--he told me about it b-be--before.”
Mu Lingxi said while stuttering. She had a sudden slip of a tongue at that split moment and so she had no choice but to made up an on the spot lie.
Pushing the blame under Long Yue's name.
”Me??? I told you about it????”
Long Yue was obviously stunned when he heard Su Yan shifting the blame to him. To be honest, he doesn't have any recollection of talking to Su Yan anything about it.
”Yes, of course. Whom should I learn about it if not from you???”
”Oh, well. You got a point there... It is just that---”
”You really told Su Yan about it????”
”Err... Brother, honestly I'm not too sure about it either since I can't recall doing it at all. But if Su Yan knows about it... Then I think, I probably.... really did. I'm sorry.”
Long Yue knows that even though they were brothers, and they were really close on top of that. It was still not his place to talk about Long Fuzi's affairs to others. Especially things as sensitive as that.
That is why he was really feeling deeply apologetic towards the other party for 'doing' it.
Well, Long Fuzi knows that Long Yue did not mean to do it at all. So he no longer pushed the matter out of proportion. After all, it is not as if he was planning to hide it in the first place.
”It is okay, Long Yue. You don't have to be sorry anymore. I just did not expect that Su Yan would know about it before I could even share it with the group. That's all.
Anyways, yeah we are supposed to get married before the start of the school term. but it was pushed through. Maybe we will do that after we finished our study at Magus Academia”
Long Fuzi hides the fact that the reason why his marriage with the young miss of Mu Clan was pushed through is not exactly because they decided to finish their studies first.
But rather, his 'supposed to be bride', Mu Lingxi, run away from him as soon as their arranged marriage was announced.
”Really?? I never thought of you to be an engaged man already! I even thought that you were hitting with Mu Yanxiao!”
Yun Xue said in surprise. He honestly never imaged that the usually quiet man among them is the first one to actually have a fiancee.
”That's insane!!! Lady Yanxiao is my fiance's cousin that is why I seemed close to her.”
When Long Fuzi heard what Yun Xue said, he hurriedly denies the matter altogether. He had already heard a lot of rumors about that and he always gave that same answer.
It was actually starting to get the nerves out of him. He was really wondering who has the gut to spread such false rumors about him and Lady Yanxiao.
If he only knew that the mastermind behind all of those fake news is no other than Mu Yanxiao itself.
”Ohh... Now I know. But why is it that I never saw this Mu Lingxi before??? Aren't she studying at Magus Academia as well just like her cousin???”
Chan Gu asked out of curiosity. The more he heard about the other party, the more he gets interested in meeting her in the future.
”MEOW”
[You did lad, it is just that you don't know that it was her... In fact, she was just standing right next to you!]
”Well, she is indeed at Magus Academia right now... But I don't want to pressure her or make her feel uncomfortable. That is why I just let her enjoy her first year in Magus Academia. I don't wish to bother her.”
”Like duh??? It's not as if you know where to find me, to begin with???! Pretentious!”
Mu Lingxi sneered deep inside her when she saw how good Long Fuzi is at mixing truth with lies.
Oh, boys will always be boys... What a talent... TCH!
”Yiieee... (>A
Chan Gu teased his friend upon hearing his answer. As a result, Long Fuzi's face blushed like a teenager.
”Ehhh????”
When Mu Lingxi saw how silly Long Fuzi is blushing like a teenage girl upon hearing a casual tease from his friend, her foolish heart can help but start fluttering as well.
