Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 293 Exactly What Type of Man Is Your Husband
Mu Zhi rolled her eyes at Lu Jinye and left. The airline held itself responsible for the emergency
landing. They bore the cost and arrangement of the accommodation of every passenger on the island.
Finally, Mu Zhi made it to the end of the bonfire and could return to her room peacefully. She locked the
door and went into the bathroom with plans to take a therapeutic shower, then go to bed to cap off the
dreadful day. The only good thing about tonight was that she was finally rid of Lu Jinye.
Mu Zhi finished her shower and lied on her bed when her doorbell sounded. She frowned slightly and
unwillingly brought herself to the door, thinking that itâd be rude not to answer if it was staff from the
airline.
Lo and behold, when she looked through the peephole, she found the same man who called himself an
actor earlier â Lu Chao. He had a bouquet in his hands go to with a hair only he agreed was attractive.
He pressed on the doorbell once again with a pretentiously elegant front.
As soon as she saw the narcissistâs vain looks, Mu Zhi could not contain the disdain brewing in her
mind. Mu Zhi remained silent, deciding to pretend that she was fast asleep.
But Lu Chao was not buying int. He rang the doorbell for a second, third, and forth time.
âI know youâre in there.â His voice pierced the silent room.
Lu Chao fixed the bouquet in his hands and was seemingly confident of his love confession.
âI only came looking for you when Iâm certain that youâre here. Donât be shy, I know youâre just
surprised by my affection.â
Surprised my ass.
Mu Zhi almost burst into a fit of curse words when she heard the repulsing words. However, without
any choice, she could only clutch the door handle relentlessly while saying to the man outside, âPlease
leave me alone, I need my rest.â
âItâs such a beautiful night. Donât let it go to waste by sleeping so early. Why donât you let me in? Weâll
just have a few drinks and chat for a little. Look at how graceful the moon is.â Lu Chao persisted.
His words gave Mu Zhi goosebumps all over.
She turned around to look at the moon. Regardless of how magnificent it was, having Lu Chaoâs
presence would only disgust her.
âGo! I wonât open the door!â Mu Zhi reiterated adamantly.
However, Lu Chao seemed eager to get under her skin. He replied, âMiss Mu, Iâm here with utter
sincerity. Isnât that a little rude to keep me waitingâ¦â
âI suggest you leave right now. Otherwise, I canât promise you that I can contain my husband when he
gets mad.â
As a last resort, Mu Zhi brought up Lu Jinyeâs name. She loathed what she had just said, but to chase
away this annoying pest, that was the only way to go.
âFine, open the door, let me talk to her husband. Perhaps he might choose to leave and give the room
to us.â
Lu Chaoâs playful tone told Mu Zhi that he had figured out her schemes.
Mu Zhi was left wordless by Lu Chaoâs remark. She continued to clasp the door handle for some
moment before insisting, âPlease leave.â
âWhatâs the matter? Arenât you going to find your husband?â Lu Chao pursued, âHahahaha, honestly,
Iâve looked into you. The man earlier isnât your husband at all. Open the door, accept my flowers, and in
return, you will get an unforgettable night from me.â
Lu Chao had never been rejected by women before. With his stature, countless women were waiting to
throw themselves at him.
He was sure that Mu Zhi was merely fishing for more. He had the full confidence of his charms.
âIâll call the hotel management to drive you away right now!â
Mu Zhi had no intention to continue butting heads with Lu Chao.
She had thought in the first place that she shouldnât have blown the issue out of proportion since the
man shared the same flight as her.
However, her patience was running thin at this point. She walked straight towards the phone, prepared
to call the hotel, and tell the security guards to toss the scumbag out.
âSnap!â As soon as she touched the phone receiver, she heard a crisp sound, and blackness filled her
eyes.
There was a blackout!
It was a relatively rural and small island. While the hotel had a power loss, it meant that the entire
island was out of electricity.
The table phone operated on optical fiber, and hence it became unavailable.
Mu Zhi was stupefiedâ¦
Lu Chao was waiting outside the door. Standing amid darkness, Mu Zhi could feel her heartbeat racing
rapidly.
âKnock knockâ¦â A couple of heavy knocks followed closely after.
âThereâs a blackout. I know that youâre terrified in there. Open the door, I can protect you!â
Mu Zhi felt like she was about to have a mental breakdown.
Would the man do the unthinkable in the dark?
Mu Zhi could even picture the revolting smile on Lu Chaoâs face right now.
Just as she was at a loss of what to do, a light illuminated the bed head, followed by her phoneâs
ringtone.
Mu Zhi jumped forward jovially to answer the phone.
âThereâs a blackout. Do you feel like heading out for a walk and maybe supper? I found that thereâs a
pretty good grilled squirrel fish around here.â
A voice came from the phone, and strangely enough, he knew that Mu Zhi loved squirrelfish.
Mu Zhi could immediately tell that the voice belonged to Lu Jinye.
In this instance, she could not care less how Lu Jinye got his hands on her number. After all, an even
peskier man was standing by the door.
âThereâs a pervert at my door.â
Mu Zhi said with a cracked voice.
âOpen the door.â
But Lu Jinye uttered an unexpected response.
âDidnât you hear? Thereâs a pervert at my door.â
âIâm here for you.â
Lu Jinye was shockingly determined when he said those words.
Mu Zhi was flabbergasted. She thought for a few seconds before standing up. It had just dawned on
her what he meant. She slowly headed towards the door and gradually creaked it open.
At last, she found Lu Jinye towering over her under the emergency lights, and Lu Chao was nowhere to
be found.
How does he chase Lu Chao away in such a short time?
Mu Zhi was perplexed, but she instantly refused Lu Jinyeâs offer.
âSorry, I donât like squirrel fish.â
âThen, what about these?â
Lu Jinye lifted both hands in the air.
He carried numerous bags in his hands, which contained popcorns, chips, and other titbits.
âNah.â
Mu Zhi stood her ground.
Over the past years, Mu Zhi had taken after Xie Xiuâs habit by living with him. Xie Xiu was a
perfectionist who had a strict dietary routine. So, Mu Zhi gave up her love for titbits.
Or perhaps, Mu Zhi was unaware that these were her favorite food before her amnesia.
In the past, Mu Zhi would munch on titbits unreservedly when she was with Lu Jinye. She could always
maintain a svelte figure without having had to keep an eye on her diet.
Lu Jinye knitted his brows in confusion. In his eyes, Mu Zhi had never refused her favorite food.
âIâm curious.â Lu Jinye sized up Mu Zhi with a frown.
âWhat are you curious about?â
âExactly what kind of man is your husband? How does he manage to turn you into a completely
different person?â
