Xu's mother showed up that day and left directly by plane after the banquet.

Xu Manxing was actually relieved rather than disappointed that he didn't have to face Xu's mother.

Life returned to normal and she continued to go to and from school as usual.

A few months passed by unknowingly.

That day, she received a call from Xu Yiran after a long time.

"What's wrong? Xiaoran."

This weekend, she was leisurely reading a book in the balcony hanging basket. After hearing what Xu Yiran said on the phone, she sat up from the hanging basket in surprise.

"You guys are together?!"

“****”

"Okay, I'll be there tonight."

After Xu Manxing hung up the phone, he was still a little dazed.

I don’t pay much attention to the situation between Pu Ye and Ye. Are they actually planning to be together?

Calculating the time, it has indeed been half a year.

Xu Manxing thought that Xu Yiran had already revealed their identities and that she was going to dinner today as his sister, and she felt a little uneasy.

After the parade, she picked up the phone and called Rong Yuanhe.

In the past few months, whenever elders like Xu's mother asked them to go out for dinner, the two of them would cover for each other, and before the relationship was completely torn apart, neither of them revealed their intention not to get married.

In order to prevent their elders from thinking too much, the two of them took turns making excuses to cancel the meeting.

After all, if they are too close and then break off the engagement, it will be troublesome if the elders don’t believe it.

"What's the matter?"

Rong Yuanhe was in the same class as them. After finishing his professional courses in advance, he would often go to the company to work.

He looked at Xu Manxing, who had nothing to do and would not contact him, and subconsciously thought, could it be that his father asked them to eat again?

"Have you revealed your identity to Pu Ye?"

"...Um."

Rong Yuanhe didn't expect that it was about cattail leaves and hesitated for a while before responding.

With the pressure from Xu Yiran, he also understood that if he didn't make things clear sooner, things might get worse.

But for some reason, after confessing, Pu Ye was not as close to him as before.

Maybe she noticed what he meant, but she no longer went out to dinner with him as often as before.

Sometimes even his gifts were rejected.

These changes bothered him, but he had no solution for the time being.

In addition, the company has too many things to deal with recently, so he can only put it aside for now.

"Xiao Ran confessed to Xiao Ye today and told me that I was his sister. Xiao Ye asked me out for dinner tonight."

Xu Manxing was not helping Rong Yuanhe, she just didn't want Rong Yuanhe to miss it.

Regardless of the outcome, you have to give it a try, right?

Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for Rong Yuanhe to confess his love if they were really together, and it would be a pity to hide his love like this.

Rong Yuanhe was quick-witted and immediately understood what Xu Manxing meant.

"Thanks."

"Haha, not really a thank you."

Xu Manxing smiled when he heard the thanks, then remembered that there was an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with and asked again.

"By the way, have you decided how to cancel the engagement? If you don't speak up, your mom and dad will have to set a wedding date."

She used to be quite easy-going, but after recovering all her memories, she understood the personalities and persistence of Xu's mother and grandmother.

It would be difficult for her to be free in this life. If she gave up her identity as the eldest daughter of the Xu family, even if she didn't want a penny, Xu's mother and grandmother would make a fuss.

And she couldn't look at strangers with the same attitude.

In fact, the arranged marriage was barely acceptable. Xu's mother would not sell her daughter to find another arranged marriage partner instead of being with Rong Yuanhe.

With her eloquence, even if they don't express their love, they can still treat each other with respect.

"I'm planning it. I'm still a little short of success in the rebellion. Once I get a contract in a month, I can apply."

Rong Yuanhe thought of his father at home who was always urging him, and said with a frown.

"That's good."

Xu Manxing finished talking and quickly hung up the phone.

On the other side, Rong Yuanhe looked at the hung up phone, was silent for a while, raised his hand to swipe through the address book, clicked on Pu Ye's number, and hesitated for a long time before dialing it.

He has been busy with work these months and has to find time to meet Pu Ye, so he really should ask clearly.

He was not as good at chasing girls as Xu Yiran. Pu Ye thought he liked cooking because he prepared dinner carefully several times, and still treated him as an older brother.

Soon evening arrived.

Although the venue was a restaurant with a nice environment, Xu Manxing did not dress very fancy.

It can be said that unless she goes to meet people in her circle like Xu's mother, she dresses very simply.

Today she was wearing a bamboo green gauze skirt and her hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. She looked very gentle, like a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River.

Xu Manxing looked at her naturally beautiful skin and didn't put on any makeup. She simply put on some lipstick and picked up her bag and went out.

Today she still rides that little electric scooter.

When Xu Manxing arrived at the private room, he was stunned for a moment when he saw that only Xu Yiran was there.

"Where's Xiaoye?"

Xu Manxing sat opposite Xu Yiran and asked in confusion.

"She took a phone call and went out."

"Sister, do you think she will reject me because I lied to her?"

When Xu Yiran saw his sister coming, he put away his calm expression and spoke in a frustrated tone.

"What? Are you still afraid?"

Xu Manxing looked at Xu Yiran's complaining eyes, and instead of laughing at him, he comforted him.

"Don't worry, if she really likes you, these problems won't be a problem. Besides, we didn't mean to deceive her."

"If she had known my identity earlier, it would have affected her judgment."

Xu Manxing was not too worried when she thought of Pu Ye, who treated her as a good friend and told her everything.

Pu Ye, who had been in the private room next door for a while, came back and heard the conversation between Xu Manxing and the other person. His originally hesitant heart gradually became firm.

"Full stars."

She pushed the door open and looked at Xu Manxing, who was dressed elegantly. She stuck out her tongue and sat next to her.

"Actually, after being together for so long, I've already felt that the Manxing family is quite wealthy, but I never thought that you two would be siblings."

Pu Ye could still see that Xu Manxing's family had some money, but she just thought they were middle class. She didn't expect that they could be ranked at the city level.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoye. I didn't tell you because I was worried that my identity would affect your relationship with Xiaoran. But he and I told him that if you confess, you must explain everything clearly."

Xu Manxing looked at Pu Ye, who had always treated her as a good friend, and explained seriously.

"I know. Actually, I was just shocked at first, not angry."

Pu Ye looked at Xu Manxing who was apologizing and said seriously.

Xu Manxing did not frequently contact Xu Yiran just to hide it from her. On the contrary, except for having lunch together at noon, she avoided them at other times.

She and Xu Yiran mostly spent time together on their own, and Xu Manxing never offered any suggestions or objections in this regard.

"That's good. I told Xiaoran that if you two are together, you must not let my parents interfere with you."

"Yeah, thank you, Manxing."

Pu Ye also observed the changes in Xu Yiran in the past few months and knew that Xu Yiran was really considering their future.

"Well, I see you don't mind that I'm his sister, so I won't disturb you two from having your meal."

"In short, love depends on the individual. I support you in whatever decision you make. Don't worry about me. We will always be friends."

Xu Manxing ignored Xu Yiran who was gesturing in the distance, gently pinched Pu Ye's smooth little face and left the private room.
