Chapter 51 sorry baby, I am late”. (1/2)

Lee Xuiye's hands trembled and fork fell from her hand when she heard about the engagement of Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao

Didn't Mo Lingtan say that he didn't like Zhuo Ziyao? Then why was his family talking about his engagement with Zhuo Ziyao?...

It was common in aristocratic families to have the engagement of their children in their teenage to strength their business relationship.

There were few children in the Capital Imperial school who were engaged and Lee Xuiye and Mo Xingjuan knew about this custom.

Mo Xingjuan was happy to hear her brother engagement, whereas, Lee Xuiye's heart again broke down.

First, Mo Lingtan rejected her, however, there was still hope that in future Mo Lingtan might be like her.

However, now if his family decided his engagement with Zhuo Ziyao then it would be like pouring the cold water on her hope.

Luckily, now Song Zhilan had poured the cold water on Zhuo Family's hope.

”Lingtan is a kid now, I think he should focus on his study only”.

Song Zhilan was well aware of Zhuo Family's intention. Mo Family was the top family in the City B and of course, every family wanted to make a connection with them by marrying their daughter in the Mo Family.

Nevertheless, Mo Lingtan was not a ladder on whom anyone could step to reach Mo Family.

Hearing Song Zhilan's words, Zhuo Lizhong and Zhuo Xiaoyan(Mrs Zhuo) expression changed.

Seeing unpleasant expression of Zhuo family, Mo Mushan immediately tried to explain them ”Actually...Mother is trying to say that we should give more time to kids to get together with each other and have fun in their life. Afterwards, if they want to spend their life together, then we will plan an engagement party for them later”.

Mo Mushan's explanation removed the awkwardness between the families. However, Lee Xuiye felt soreness in her heart, but what could she do? Mo Lingtan had already rejected her feeling.

Now at least, she could only be his friend.

Later Lee Xuiye left without eating anything.

Mo Lingtan reached home quite late, he directly joined in the dinner and didn't take part in the conversation with Zhuo family because of his fatigue.

Next Morning, Mo Xingjuan told him about the conversation of his engagement with Zhuo Ziyao which Zhuo family had yesterday.

It seemed that Zhuo Ziyao had a deep feeling for him and he had to stop her feelings as well, like he stopped Lee Xuiye's feeling.

However, he was worried as well because Mo Xingjuan told him that Lee Xuiye was there at that time, when Zhuo family was talking about his engagement with Zhuo Ziyao and she would definitely misunderstand that he and Zhuo Ziyao was dating.

However to his surprise, when he reached school, Lee Xuiye didn't seem to be angry and in fact, she was talking normally as if she hadn't heard anything about him and Zhuo Ziyao.
