Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 287 The Familiar Strangers

Mu Zhi looked back hurriedly and her attention landed on Lu Jinye when she stumbled upon him. Lu Jinye’s hands clenched uncontrollably and heartbeat raced instantaneously.

He gleaned at the woman sitting by the table, her face did not change a lot from back then but her demeanor gives away a boring monotonous vibe. Of course, that was not a pleasant description over someone you used to know.

The Mu Zhi he used to know was a genie with a pair of hopeful eyes, like a torch in the midnight. The light in her could penetrate the worldly darkness.

The Mu Zhi standing in front of him had lost the scintillating halo. Her gaze had turned dull and passionless. She looked like she was but another married woman living a lackluster life.

Judging at her well-dressed appearance and elegant mannerism, she must have married a well-to-do person. However, she was not the Mu Zhi he was once familiar with.

The Mu Zhi now looked at him as if he was a stranger.

Receiving her unfamiliar gazes, he could not help but think Mu Zhi must have forgotten who he was.

He slowly approached Mu Zhi and stood right in front of her.

Standing in the corner was Yan Shu, the busybody onlooker who helped made the reunion possible. She was reluctant to leave the scene and genuinely curious how their lives would move on following the reunion.

But she had previously promised Lu Jinye that she would leave them alone, and so she stealthily exited the scene, leaving both of them with each other.

Mu Zhi stared at Lu Jinye. She was cautioned of Yan Shu’s absence and got a little nervous.

Still staring at Lu Jinye, her eyelashes flickered like a pair feathered wings as she blinked repetitively and involuntarily.

“Long time no see.”

Lu Jinye stood next to Mu Zhi and said.

Mu Zhi responded with a rather puzzled expression.

Why did he say that? It was not that long ago since they saw each other.

“Do we know each other?”
