Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 138 Well… Very Well!

Mu Zhi dared not move a finger. She did not even close her eyes, gawking at Lu Jinye to observe him.

Lu Jinye’s words were still echoing in her head. He told her to return to him.

What did he mean by that? He already had Xiao Qingqing by his side. How was she going to return to him?

She could feel her body uncontrollably wanting more of Lu Jinye.

But, she was fighting to resist that urge.

Seemingly sensed that Mu Zhi was behaving oddly, Lu Jinye suddenly stopped to look at Mu Zhi, only to realize that she was trembling all over.

“What happened?”

Lu Jinye peered at her with a frown.

Tears were rolling in her eyes, but she insisted to fix them on Lu Jinye.

That brought a tinge of emotion to Lu Jinye.

“Are you unwilling?”

Although Lu Jinye had not attacked another pink castle in his life, he could imagine that the other women would never cry in his embrace.

This woman, Mu Zhi… Was beyond intrigue.

Lu Jinye ultimately relented. He stared at Mu Zhi with a stern face, stuttering hesitantly. Consoling someone was not his strong suit.

After a long while, he finally gathered some words, “Mu Zhi, I was not joking just now.”

Upon steadying herself, Mu Zhi rubbed the tears off her eyes, sat up, tried to button her shirt, but she could barely assert any force on her wrists, struggling to even dress herself.

Lu Jinye waited for a moment but did not receive a reply from Mu Zhi. Seeing that she was having a hard time button her shirt, he reached out to help her.

Mu Zhi attempted to dodge him.

But Lu Jinye said patiently, “Don’t move.”

A mere two words that appeared to have carried no weights managed to make Mu Zhi comply.

Lu Jinye slowly dressed her, then asked Mu Zhi, “Do you hate me?”

Mu Zhi raised her head to meet Lu Jinye’s gaze. She even had doubts to what was before her eyes. Lu Jinye’s eyes were flooding with tenderness.

As though he cared.

However, regardless of how moved Mu Zhi was, she just nodded lightly.

Tacitly admitting.

Yes, she hated him!

Lu Jinye’s brows were scrunched up. He stared at Mu Zhi solemnly. It was the first time Lu Jinye confessed his love to a woman, and he got rejected!
