Chapter 35
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 35 Rather Dull
Mu Zhi almost sprayed her wine onto everyoneâs faces when she heard the question.
Fortunately, she was in time to control herself and refrain from doing so. But she still had a coughing fit
from getting choked.
Lu Jinye was kind enough to hand Mu Zhi a glass of water. He told her to drink some water, but⦠It
didnât seem to stop everyone from waiting for her answer.
Mu Zhi felt that Lu Jinye was faking it. Why didnât he even try to help her in this dire situation?
âWhat is my punishment if I choose not to answer? I can drink.â
Mu Zhi had already volunteered for punishment during the first round. After all, she could not bring
herself to talk about her first night with Lu Jinye.
Nevertheless, Xu Se had completely expected that Mu Zhi would come to this solution, so he slid her
wine glass towards himself composedly and said, âWe actually chose the random gameplay of
drumming while passing flowers because we were afraid that Jinye would outsmart all of us. Do you
really think that we caught you just because we wanted you to have a glass of wine?â
Mu Zhi was even more mortified.
âHow about another question?â
Although she seemed to be speaking to Xu Se, she was actually looking at Lu Jinye. She hoped that
Lu Jinye could speak up for her.
But she did not expect Lu Jinye to pick up his wine glass, take a sip, and say, âThatâs a good question!â
A! Good! Question!
Mu Zhi wanted to bite off her own tongue at that instant! How was this a good question?!
She could let him go if he had kept mum. But he was encouraging others to dig further into their
privacy⦠But since he was eager to play, she shall oblige.
âAhem.â
Mu Zhi coughed slightly and cleared her throat. As if contemplating, she slowly said, âThe first timeâ¦
Was rather dull.â
Mu Zhi deliberately looked at Lu Jinye when she said that.
During their first bedroom act, the both of them indeed performed less positions, but that was because
she wasnât at ease. Moreover, she was too tired that day, so had she slept through just after the first
and only act of the night. When she woke up the next day, Lu Jinye had already gone to work.
Mu Zhi glanced at Lu Jinye silently. He didnât seem to be bothered. He merely picked up his wine and
said quietly, âThen, in the future, I shall rely on my wifeâs creativity.â
That aroused a sudden row of laughter.
Mu Zhi instantly turned scarlet, and gave Lu Jinye a fierce look. However, Lu Jinye seemed cool as
cucumber.
Everyone went on for the second round of the game.
Oddly, Lu Jinye never got caught in the game, whereas Mu Zhi got caught almost every time!
She went through all kinds of embarrassing moments. How was this able to make them understand
each other better? This was obviously just making everyone understand her better.
The questions also started become more diverse.
âWhich body part of Lu Jinye do you derive pleasure from the most?â They asked erratically.
Mu Zhi replied, âFace, because he is handsome.â
âWhen does Lu Jinye tug your heart the most?â
Mu Zhi replied, âWhen he gives me money.â
âIf there is a chance for you to cheat on him, will you choose to do so?â
Mu Zhi watched Lu Jinye for a long time and replied, âNo.â
âDo you love Lu Jinye?â
The last question was asked by Liang Yunzhanâs wife. Mu Zhi had become more laid-back as she had
had more wine, but she was at a loss of words when the question came out of the blue. She looked at
Lu Jinye hesitantly.
Suddenly, Shen Mobo said from aside, âWell, this game doesnât seem to be interesting anymore. Letâs
go have something to eat instead.â
Thenceforward, Shen Mobo led everyone to the outdoor restaurant.
Everyone let Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye stroll along behind.
Mu Zhi was still a little embarrassed to face Lu Jinye after all those questions.
Therefore, she quickly slipped away with the excuse that she needed to use the bathroom.
When Mu Zhi came out from the bathroom, she met Xu Se at the sink when she was washing her
hands. He had also just relieved himself.
Mu Zhi subconsciously nodded at Xu Se, and then moved aside. Xu Se asked her many weird
questions during the game earlier, intentionally making fun of her.
Mu Zhi was still uncomfortable having met him in private.
However, Xu Se leaned towards Mu Zhi on purpose when she was washing her hands. He wiped his
hands with a piece of paper towel, and said embarrassedly, âMu Zhi, Iâm sorry. We actually wanted to
make fun of Jinye, but we didnât expect that youâd be selected for so many rounds. Iâm sorry.â
âItâs ok.â
Mu Zhi shook her head.
She was about to leave, but Xu Se promptly caught up with her and said, âTo show the sincerity of my
apology, I will tell you something about Jinye. Deal?â
Mu Zhi turned her head and glanced at Xu Se.
Xu Se declared, âAlthough Jinye looks very rebellious, he is actually the most principled person among
us. You are the first woman he has ever officially acknowledged.â
Mu Zhi couldnât help but frown⦠Xu Se didnât look like he was joking.
âWhat do you really mean? You mean he had had other women whom he hadnât acknowledged?â
Mu Zhi twisted his words.
âIt was a one-night stand, but Jinye doesnât know who that woman was.â
When Xu Se finished his words, he spotted the others at the grilling pit from a distance. He hurriedly
went over, while Mu Zhi remained put at the same spot for a long time.
Crap. She suddenly realized that she didnât know Lu Jinye at all. Lu Jinye actually hadnât slept with
every single woman that she was responsible to send away before?
That meansâ¦
Mu Zhi was still engrossed in her thoughts when she saw Lu Jinye waving towards her. So she hurried
over and joined the barbecue team.
The wine that Shen Mobo brought out this time was excellent. Lu Jinye, as well as Mu Zhi, had a whole
glass to themselves.
Mu Zhi did not have a drinking habit. Perhaps it was the reason she felt hot and uncomfortable right
after. When she told Shen Mobo that she felt uncomfortable, he took Mu Zhi with him to her room to
rest.
Right after Shen Mobo left after seeing her to her room, she quickly went into the bathroom and took a
shower. However she could still feel the heat in her body. It could not be suppressed.
When she was lying weakly on the bed, she suddenly received a call.
The manâs deep voice sounded pleasant on the phone, but Mu Zhi didnât know who it was. She was
already nearing unconsciousness.
She could only more or less make out what he said, telling her that she had left something behind, and
he wanted to send it to her room, so she agreed.
Then she heard the door open and saw the man.
At that instant, she suddenly thirsted for the manâs warmth.
