Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 291


    Chapter 291 A Boring and Stupid Pervert


    She had no clue how Lu Jinye suddenly barged into her life. She was confused about how Lu Jinye


    could get in touch with Eric and interfere with her daily life as if it was perfectly usual.


    Her anxiousness told her that she must keep a distance from the man. It was always wise to not run


    the risk when met with ‘threats’. However, why would shepletely lose her wits when it came to


    anything to do with that man?


    “Why must we go back all of a sudden?” Eric asked in confusion.


    “It was a mistake toe to City A in the first ce. I don’t know why, but something tells me that this


    ce is a mess.”


    Mu Zhi sighed, then looked to Eric to ask for his opinion, “Eric, do you want to stay?”


    Eric stared at Mu Zhi with a troubled expression and said, “Mom, I’d like to stay here for a while.”


    He wanted to take the opportunity to learn from Lu Jinye during this period.


    If he had left for the States, he would be forced to cut ties with Lu Jinye.


    Moreover, he could not help but feel that Lu Jinye had an ulterior motive behind the investigation of his


    mother.


    Thus, Eric hesitated and expressed his desire to stay.


    “Umm…” Mu Zhi was troubled. She studied Eric’s expression before saying, “If you stay here, dad


    might not have the time to look after you.”


    “I can take care of myself, mom.”


    Eric raised his head spiritedly, “Mom, I can assure you that I will take good care of myself and protect


    myself. I will video call you and dad every day and report my daily schedule to you. Please, mom, let


    me stay.”


    “Just for a few days, I’d like to experience what it’s like to go to school here. Can you please talk to dad


    about this?”


    Eric pondered briefly beforeing up with a solid justification.


    If he had used learning as an excuse, they would have no reason to bring him away.


    Mu Zhi had been open-minded about Eric’s education since he was little. She tended toply with his


    requests to experience new things.


    Thus, Mu Zhi thought about it and ultimately obliged.


    Eric jumped for joy and kissed Mu Zhi on the cheek, saying, “Then, mom, could you please talk to dad


    on my behalf?”


    “Fine, let me talk to him.” Mu Zhi agreed.


    A dazzling smile surfaced on Eric’s face, but soon after, he turned to Mu Zhi with a doubtful look,


    asking, “Mom, if that’s the case, won’t you be lonely when you get back? If you feel lonely, I can go


    back with you.”


    Eric looked at Mu Zhi with a stern face.


    Hearing that, Mu Zhi let out a cid smile. Eric had always been a sensible kid. She did not have a


    good reason for leaving, except running away from potential threats.


    With that said, she was clueless about how the threats were dangerous to her.


    When Mu Zhi told Xie Xiu about returning to the States, Xie Xiu was over the moon.


    Early morning on the following day, after packing up all her belongings and ensuring that Eric was


    amodated properly, she came to the airport alone.


    Without any disruption, she managed to get her boarding pass and boarded the ne.


    Mu Zhi found herself a window seat. She had just sat down, and before she could enjoy the scenery


    outside, a man made a beeline towards her.


    There were two types of people you can recognize instantly – a person you love and a person you


    despise.


    It took fractions of a second before urring to Mu Zhi that the man was thetter.


    Lu Jinye.


    What is he doing here?


    Lu Jinye sat next to Mu Zhi, but did not bat an eye at her.


    That intrigued Mu Zhi.


    She thought Lu Jinye would pretend as they coincided with each other. She was nning to stand up


    and run away from Lu Jinye. However, she did not manage to switch seats, and Lu Jinye was not


    bothered by her presence.


    That told Mu Zhi that it might have been a misunderstanding.


    Perhaps it was… Truly a coincidence?! Did he coincidentally book the same flight and was


    coincidentally ced on the same row?


    Regardless of what happened, Mu Zhi refused to sit next to Lu Jinye.


    She was about to raise a hand for the air stewardess when Lu Jinye put on an eye mask, preparing to


    sleep!


    Mu Zhi nced at Lu Jinye. Judging by his series of actions, if she had requested to switch seats, it


    might have looked like she was overly dramatic.


    Thus, when the ne had taken off, Mu Zhi asked for a nket and nned to sleep through the flight.


    She figured that she could convince herself that Lu Jinye wasn’t around. s, in less than half an hour


    since she closed her eyes, the ne started jerking violently.


    Following closely was an air stewardess announcement, telling everyone to stay calm and that it was


    just a normal air turbulence.


    Mu Zhi could no longer fall asleep at this point. Another fit of violent turbulence came once again. Mu


    Zhi lost her bnce and instinctively grabbed Lu Jinye by the arm.


    “Don’t be afraid.”


    His deep and silvery voice buried into her ears.


    Lu Jinye had woken up without her knowing. He reached out to steady Mu Zhi.


    As soon as Lu Jinye touched Mu Zhi’s skin, she withdrew her hand as if she had just been shocked by


    electricity. She then put up a nonchnt front, saying, “I’m fine.”


    She pulled her nket over her chest to create a barrier between Lu Jinye and her.


    However, momentster, the turbulence became too intense, and the flight was forced to an


    emergencynding.


    The passengers burst into a low buzz of chatter, but everyone was d that thending was done


    safely. Upon alighting from the ne, Mu Zhi realized that they were on a small ind.


    She could still feel her heart thumping anxiously until the moment her foot touched the ground.


    Once she managed to gather herself, she looked around the ind only to find a stunning view.

    Amid immersing herself in the magnificent scenery, she espied a silhouette walking straight towards


    her from the corner of her eyes.


    Mu Zhi did not need to look to know that it was Lu Jinye.


    Her intuition told her that she must walk away to avoid him.


    While Lu Jinye casually walked up to her and uttered, “Why are you hiding from me? Are you scared of


    me?”


    “Not really, I just don’t feel like interacting with someone like you at all.”


    Mu Zhi red at Lu Jinye and muttered peevishly.


    “Someone like me? Miss, what kind of a person am i?” Lu Jinye asked listlessly.


    His question muted mu Zhi at first, then eventually managed a response, “A boring and stupid pervert!”


    That might have been an understatementing from Mu Zhi’s mind.


    It sounded almost like apliment.


    Finishing what she had to say, Mu Zhi deliberately moved away from Lu Jinye and headed in the


    opposite direction.


    The glowing sunset was slowly diminishing at this point. It was inevitable that they had to stay over for


    the night. The attendants were scrambling to amodate all passengers, assigning rations and


    ensuring that the flight would go on as nned if there were no hup the next morning.


    However, Mu Zhi was upset. She despised the idea of staying for a night on the ind. Neither did she


    want to see Lu Jinye’s face.
