Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 295


    Chapter 295 Do You Love Me


    “Stoping closer.” Mu Zhi hurriedly shoved Lu Jinye away and red at him fiercely. “Do you hate


    me?” Lu Jinye asked with his brows slightly arched.


    “If you won’t leave right now, I will.” Mu Zhi did not want to spare another second talking to Lu Jinye. Lu


    Jinye seemed to have cast an enchantment on her.


    It was clear to her that she knew nothing about Lu Jinye, just like Jon Snow, and her rational mind had


    put in every effort to tell her to resist him. But her wall of protection would always copse whenever


    she faced Lu Jinye.


    Thus, she could only chase Lu Jinye away from the room. Lu Jinye was not bothered by Mu Zhi’s


    remark. He found a seat insouciantly, opened a bottle of wine, and poured himself a ss.


    “I think we need a drink. Alcohol helps to soothemunication.”


    Lu Jinye continuously challenged Mu Zhi’s limits. He sensed that Mu Zhi was nervous and was trying to


    hide something.


    The more nervous she became, the happier Lu Jinye was.


    It was a testimony of a void between Mu Zhi and her current husband.


    And the void was a terrifying abyss in Mu Zhi’s eyes.


    Mu Zhi could not bear to spend another second in the same room alone with Lu Jinye.


    Just as Lu Jinye raised the ss in the air, beckoning to offer it to Mu Zhi, she turned around decisively


    and walked out of the door, disappearing into the ckness of the corridor.


    Lu Jinye gulped every drop of the wine. He stared at her as she vanished from his line of sight. The


    bitterness in his heart wasparable to the taste of alcohol, while the burning sensation in his throat


    was analogous to his zing fury.


    Mu Zhi went to the lobby. She was d that there were emergency lights over there, and she did not


    have to stay in the petrifying dark alone.


    It was clear to her that she was not petrified of the dark, but Lu Jinye.


    Mu Zhi felt an excruciating headache. She sat on the couch to get some rest, gently massaging her


    temples in an attempt to alleviate the pain.


    One of the female attendants noticed that Mu Zhi was in difort. She brought a ss of warm water


    and a hot towel for her.


    “Miss, is there anything else I can do for you?”


    Mu Zhi received the hot towel and ced it over her forehead. The warmth managed to alleviate her


    headache for a little. She smiled at the attendant, saying, “Nothing else, don’t let me keep you from


    your tasks.”


    “Sure, let me know if you need anything.” The attendant left upon finishing her words.


    “Thank you.”


    Mu Zhi heaved a sorrowful sigh after the attendant had left.


    There was nothing she needed that the attendant could give because what she needed was Xie Xiu.


    Mu Zhi left the lobby for a space before dialing Xie Xiu’s number.


    She needed courage from him.


    When the call was answered, Mu Zhi could hear that Xie Xiu was busy with work. “Actually, there’s no


    big deal…” She said sensibly.


    “Nah, just tell me. I’m listening.”


    Xie Xiu answered as he noticed the tenseness in Mu Zhi’s voice despite her attempts to cover it up.


    Mu Zhi hesitated briefly and asked, “Then, let me ask you something, do you love me?”


    Her fingers were trembling nervously.


    The Mu Zhi right now was helpless and despaired.


    Without memories of her past, she felt like she was on a stranded ind!


    “I love you, Ann.”

    Xie Xiu’s tone was gentle and full of tolerance. He managed to calm Mu Zhi down a little.


    Mu Zhi then asked Xie Xiu softly, “What is love?”


    A flurry of paper rustling came from the phone, followed by deafening silence. She could tell that Xie


    Xiu was putting away his work documents.


    Then, Xie Xiu’s voice broke the silence. “The love I have for you is evesting. I will never forget the


    moments we shared growing up. I remember when you were eight, you weren’t allowed any sweets


    because your teeth were shedding. You wanted ice-cream badly at the time, I could see it in your eyes.


    So I told the chauffeur to bring us to the other end of the city, drew him away, and brought you for some


    ice-cream. You ate so much that day. But instead of getting teeth issues, you had stomach-ache


    instead.”


    Mu Zhi burst into a fit ofughter, “Really?”


    “Yeah, you weren’t angry at me the next day. You even told me to bring you for more next time.”


    “Was I such a gourmand?”


    Xie Xiu continued, “Yeah, you were. I remember when you were fifteen. You told me that you wanted a


    flower because your ssmate received one from the guy next ss. I told you that there’s nothing


    special about a flower, but you got mad. You gave me the cold shoulders. But you were put in the


    limelight the next day. Your ssroom was flooded with roses. It was everywhere, on the floor, the


    chairs, the desks… And the words on the ckboard wrote – To: Ann.”


    “There was another time when you told me that you were sick. I was so worried for you that I brought


    you straight to the hospital in the middle of the night. We did multiple check-ups but could not find any


    issue with you. You insisted that you were in great pain. I was scared witless, I almost wet my pants,


    not knowing what to do. We went to several different hospitals, but no avail. You can’t sleep because of


    the pain, so I stayed by your side to read you bedtime stories. I only became relieved when you’d fallen


    asleep. But in the end, you said that you faked it. You just wanted to see how I looked like when I was


    perturbed.”


    “During your twenty-third birthday, I asked you what you wanted as a gift. You said nothing, all you


    wanted was for us to be together. Thus, we ended up bracing through all hardships to get the


    certificate. We will never leave each other. Nobody can separate us…”


    Besides creating a different identity for Mu Zhi, Xie Xiu hired several scriptwriters from Hollywood to


    fabricate their past rtionship. They went through it vigorously, removing all the bugs in the stories to


    make it seamless.


    He memorized every word of the script and branded it to his heart. Eventually, it felt like reality to him.


    Thus, when he described the stories, the line between the script and reality became blurry to him.


    Mu Zhi clutched her phone, listening to Xie Xiu nonchntly recollect the stories of their past. Nothing


    rang a bell for her, buting from his mouth, it sounded like the truth.


    Warmth gradually took over Mu Zhi’s heart. She felt like the luckiest woman in the world.


    Who the heck is this Lu Jinye guy? Get the hell out.


    “Sigh,” Mu Zhi heaved anothermenting sigh and said, “how awesome would it be if I could remember


    everything?”


    “Where are you now? Are you home? Why aren’t you video-calling me?” Xie Xiu sensed that


    something was wrong in Mu Zhi’s tone…


    Mu Zhi sighed, “I’m on an ind. The ne ran into strong turbulence and was forced tond here.


    There was a ckout on the ind. Everywhere is dark over here.”


    Mu Zhi did not say a word about Lu Jinye.


    “Let me locate you and send someone to get you at once.”


    Xie Xiu said casually, just like how he was recollecting their childhood stories. She was confident that


    he would keep his words.


    Mu Zhi did not refuse his offer. She was eager to leave.


    Over two hourster.


    A helicopter suddenlynded on the ind. Upon liaising with the airline staff, Mu Zhi hopped into the


    helicopter and left with Xie Xiu’s men.


    The following morning when the turbulence had dispersed, the remaining passengers resumed their


    flight.


    Lu Jinye had just boarded the ne and found his seat when he heard murmuringing from the


    back.
