Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 288 The Familiar Intimacy

It was not until after getting in the car that Mu Zhi let out deep gasps. With eyes closed and body sank into the seat, her mind was all about the man and his intimidating advances, touches and how he made her feel when his lips and tongue entering hers.

Her pair of sweaty palms was the telltale of the shocking instances. She could barely fathom what just happened. She tried to shut her mind from thinking of that man but failed miserably.

How did that happen!? She had attempted intimacy with Xie Xiu for countless times but every time she just could not do it. Even holding his hands were difficult for her to begin with.

For the record, she had never refused Xie Xiu’s touches on purpose nor did she mean to push Xie Xiu away. Yet, every time she just could not keep on.

Whenever Xie Xiu got close to her, she would go berserk involuntarily.

And now…

She caved in with a stranger in a sensualizing realm – a man she had not acquainted prior to this.

Why did she succumb to a stranger’s kiss and respond to his embrace and playful tongue?

Mu Zhi shook her head trying to rid of the thoughts.

This is not right, she can’t be like this!

She can no longer let her mind just think about these things. She opened the window of the car, let in the cold breeze, and forced herself to pay attention at the fleeting scenery, but the figure of the man would still linger in her mind.

She did not know why. He just seemed familiar.

She could feel in her bones that they had known each other for centuries.

This is unacceptable, absolutely intolerable!

Contrary to her usual self, Mu Zhi took the initiative to call Xie Xiu on the phone. When Xie Xiu picked up the phone, she immediately said to him, “Can you come fetch me, honey? I am walking in the direction of Sakura Road trying to get hold of a cab. Let’s enable our real-time position so that we could anticipate each other. I cannot wait to see you.”
