Chapter 306
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 306 An Opportunity for You To Get To Know Me Better
Mu Zhi followed Ericâs description and approached Lu Jinyeâs seat. But as soon as she realized it was
Lu Jinye, her jaw dropped to the floor.
âWhy you?â Mu Zhi gawked at Lu Jinye in disbelief. âSo, youâre the girlâs parent?â Lu Jinye scowled at
Mu Zhi, âWhich girlâs parent?â
âWhatever, youâre not worth my time. The apple doesnât fall far from the tree. Since youâre not some
principled man, I donât expect your daughter to be any good.â
Upon finishing her words, Mu Zhi seized her bag and turned around, storming out of the café.
Lu Jinye had only said three words throughout the meeting.
On the other hand, Eric was sitting in the car, listening to the exchange from the earpiece. He had
planted a tapping device on Mu Zhiâs bag to listen to Lu Jinyeâs response so that he could get a more
accurate judgment of how he was connected to mom.
But he was dazed to hear a flurry of angry words coming out of Mu Zhiâs mouth before the conversation
ended abruptly.
Eric deduced that they had met at least once before.
Seeing that Mu Zhi was bursting out of the café furiously, Lu Jinye left some cash on the table and
chased after her.
Mu Zhi refused to bat an eye at Lu Jinye. She strode towards the car only to realize that Lu Jinye had
caught up to her.
Eric scrambled to duck under the seat when he saw Lu Jinye scurrying towards mom.
He must not let Lu Jinye know about his relationship with his mom at this moment.
Luckily, Mu Zhi had not managed to open the car door before Lu Jinye seized her wrist, saying, âCome
with me.â
âWhy?!â
âYouâ¦â
Mu Zhi could not finish her sentence before Lu Jinye scooped her off the ground and dashed towards
his car.
Mu Zhi was perturbed as she was caught off guard. She bellowed at Lu Jinyeâs face, âPut me down!â
She tossed and turned in Lu Jinyeâs embrace ceaselessly. He did not find her heavy, but her lack of
cooperation made Lu Jinye feel a little anxious.
Thus, he peered at her and threatened her, âIf you wonât stop struggling, I will kiss you right here.â
âYou scumbag!â
Mu Zhi rebuked Lu Jinye.
âYes, youâre right.â Said Lu Jinye in a low and deep voice.
His response infuriated Mu Zhi. She smacked Lu Jinye with both hands, but Lu Jinye had opened his
car door at this point and placed Mu Zhi into his car.
âStop struggling, or I canât guarantee that Iâll control myself.â He said.
âYouâve experienced it before.â
As soon as he brought up what happened before, Mu Zhi blushed to the roots of her hair.
She could vividly remember how Lu Jinye kissed her before. After finishing his words, she instantly
relived the moment they kissed.
Mu Zhi was suddenly muted. Lu Jinye took the chance to enter the car, lock the door to prevent Mu Zhi
from getting off, and set off immediately.
Meanwhile, Eric was sitting in Mu Zhiâs car and was stupefied to witness how Lu Jinye abducted his
mom in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately⦠He had interacted with Lu Jinye before. Eric trusted Lu Jinye, so he wasnât too concerned
for his momâs safety.
But what did that mean?
While Mu Zhi was struggling violently, Ericâs tapping device had fallen off from the bottom of Mu Zhiâs
bag.
He had no clue what would unfold later on between Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye.
Sitting in Lu Jinyeâs car, Mu Zhi was embarrassed and angry at the same time. She jeered at Lu Jinye,
âWhat do you plan to do to me? Let me off the car.â
âNothing, Iâm just giving you a chance to get to know me better.â
Mu Zhi gaped her eyes at Lu Jinye, as if telling him that he was out of his mind. âSorry, I donât really
want to know you.â She snapped.
âBut I want you to know me.â
Lu Jinye insisted.
Mu Zhi was left wordless. It took her a moment before uttering at him peevishly, âMr. Lu, I understand
that youâve been lonely since losing your wife. It might be difficult to get used to, but please let me go.â
Lu Jinye glanced at Mu Zhi with a stern face. âI didnât come to you because youâre lonely.â
âThen why would you pester me?â
âYou should know better.â
Instead of dressing Mu Zhiâs question, Lu Jinye shot back with a subtle response.
Mu Zhi was startled briefly. She thought for a while, then persisted, âMr. Lu, itâs impossible.â
Lu Jinye smirked at Mu Zhi, âItâs too early to say.â
Mu Zhi had steam coming out of her ears upon hearing his playful remark.
She leaned against the seat, shut her eyes, and refused to say another word to him.
She allowed Lu Jinye to keep driving and planned to flee when she got the chance.
However, Lu Jinye continued driving without any signs to stop the car.
Mu Zhi started off shutting her eyes for a quick rest, but she realized the sky was getting darker when
she cracked her eyes open.
The surrounding looked like a rural area, and the car was traveling on a broad highway.
Mu Zhi became perturbed, âLu Jinye, you must be mad! Where are you bringing me to?! You psycho!â
She had started to think that the man had a psychiatric condition.
But Lu Jinye merely cast a sideway glance at her, then said solemnly, âIâm as normal as they come. If
youâre interested, I can show you my health evaluation report.â
Mu Zhi gave Lu Jinye the cold shoulders.
At this moment, Lu Jinye had arrived at a narrow road. It looked like they were in a park that was under
renovation and were traveling further into the construction site.
When the car finally came to a halt, the night had draped over the sky like a black backdrop. From her
seat, Mu Zhi could see little glittering lights coming from the bushes.
Those were lights of firelights.
Have I seen this in the movies before?
Mu Zhi tried her best to recall. There must be a reason why this scene looked familiar.
She could not help but open the car door and step off the car.
Lu Jinye followed suit. He smiled when he saw how deeply immersed in thought she was.
Mu Zhi had forgotten entirely about the unpleasant feeling she had just experienced. She was
captivated by the dazzling lights.
She gradually approached the bushes to get closer to the fireflies.
âMu Zhi?â
From afar, Lu Jinye called out Mu Zhiâs name tentatively.
Mu Zhi turned around to look at Lu Jinye in response.
