Chapter 51 'sorry baby, I am late”.

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.

Mo Lingtan sighed a relief after seeing Lee Xuiye's reaction and he didn't feel to give any explanation to Lee Xuiye.

However, he didn't know that through which turmoil Lee Xuiye was passing only to save her friendship with his.

Few days passed, Mo Lingtan didn't get the time to talk to Zhuo Ziyao because of assignments. If he had to say something to Lee Xuiye, he didn't think much about it and directly said to her because she was his best friend, but things were different with Zhuo Ziyao.

Zhuo Ziyao was the daughter of his father's friend, so he had to think carefully before he could talk to her. He didn't want to create tension between Mo Mushan and Zhuo Lizhong because of his feeling for Zhuo Ziyao.

However, Mo Lingtan didn't know that during these few days, all students had already considered Zhuo Ziyao as his girlfriend and now spending a single day in this school was torture for Lee Xuiye because all the time, girls in the school talked about Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao.

In fact, after getting encouragement from her friends, Zhuo Ziyao decided to announce her relationship with Mo Lingtan to the whole school.

Therefore, the next day, after submitting all the assignments, Mo Lingtan had decided to tell Zhuo Ziyao the truth that he didn't like her.

Even, Zhuo Ziyao also decided to announce her relationship with him.

So Zhuo Ziyao told him to meet in the canteen. Many students would present in the canteen, so it would be inconvenient to talk there, so Mo Lingtan thought that after lunch, he would take her to the rooftop.

When Mo Lingtan reached the canteen, he noticed that every student was looking at him with a smile and canteen was decorated with white and red balloons.

As soon as, Mo Lingtan reached inside the canteen, he saw that Zhuo Ziyao was standing in the centre of the canteen. She was wearing a white ankle length dress, while her hairs were loose with bangs on her forehead. She was holding a bouquet of red roses. Her face had a sweet smile.

All the boys felt envy of Mo Lingtan, for having such a beautiful girl as his girlfriend.

Even, Lee Xuiye, who was standing in the corner behind Zhuo Ziyao, was thinking that Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao would the best couple. She thought that she couldn't stand in front of Zhuo Ziyao's beauty.

Her heart was hurting badly, she had never experienced something like this ever before. Her eyes were slightly red as if she would be going to lose someone precious.

After Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao would start dating, then he wouldn't give much time to Lee Xuiye.

Even Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao were in the final year of the school. Afterwards, when he would go to the university, he might not go out for handout with Lee Xuiye every weekend as he used to now.

Thinking about all these things, Lee Xuiye felt that needles were piercing her heart.

Zhuo Ziyao slowly went to Mo Lingtan, however, before she could reach towards him. Mo Lingtan already passed near to her and went towards Lee Xuiye and hugged her "Sorry baby, I am late".

Baby…

What was going on?...

Did Mo Lingtan just call to Lee Xuiye 'baby'?...
