Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 304 Do You Have an Affair?

Mu Zhi trembled as she stared at Sophia. She blinked several times, not knowing what to say in response. Her life felt like a pre-set game. She had never dreamed that there was a scenario where she might not love her husband.

Xie Xiu had told her that he was her husband the moment she regained consciousness. Over these years, she was desperate to search for her past. She was eager to fight her mental block, which she believed prevented her from touching Xie Xiu. She brainwashed herself with the loving story Xie Xiu described to her.

It never struck Mu Zhi that she might have never loved Xie Xiu in the past. She had accepted that she was Xie Xiu’s wife by default since the beginning. She believed that they loved each other, and they were the one true pair.

She went on a simple and uninteresting life. Due to Sophia’s calm temperament, you wouldn’t feel like a patient when you spoke to her. Sophia would make her consultation sessions feel like two congenial friends having a casual conversation.

Thus, Mu Zhi responded without thinking twice, “I never thought about it. How does being in love feel like?”

Sophia laughed lightly. She recollected her past in detail, as though telling Mu Zhi a story. “I’m not sure how to describe it, to be honest. But there must be a mysterious feeling that comes with love. It is a concoction of shyness, restlessness, anger, and the urge to run away from the person.”

Sophia paused momentarily before continuing, “There’s one thing you can be sure of – there must be a feeling to it, you’ll never be oblivious of love.”

Mu Zhi was astonished upon hearing that.

Because… She felt none of those on Xie Xiu.

The only things Xie Xiu had given her were acceptance and calmness. Over the years, they never fought, never doubted one another, never experienced any upset, and most importantly, she never felt any emotions for him.

Mu Zhi felt like she was merely playing the role of a programmed puppet.

When she resisted Xie Xiu’s touches, she went to see a psychologist.

All she knew was that he was patient with her. It never hit her that she never loved him.

“If you need an example of a love story, I can recollect my past to you.”
