Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 5 Raise Your Head, Look at Me

Mu Zhi did not raise her head to look at Lu Junnian. Instead, she put all her strength into pulling her hand out of his grip.

There were so many people walking by, she did not want to become the center of attention.

Bu Lu Junnian’s grip on her was too strong. She could not pull herself out of it. The number of people surrounding them seemed to be increasing. Lu Junnian reacted quickly. With his free hand, he dragged Mu Zhi into his embrace and pulled her into an on-call room next to the elevator.

The Associate Dean who was accompanying Lu Junnian hurried in and chased out all the hospital personnel who were resting there. He locked the door and left Lu Junnian and Mu Zhi alone in the room.

“Raise your head, look at me!”

Lu Junnian ordered Mu Zhi. His voice filled with rage.

Mu Zhi’s hand gripped tightly onto the edge of her shirt. It was an involuntary reaction whenever she got nervous. When Mu Zhi did not respond, Lu Junnian gripped her chin and forced her face up to look at him.

Mu Zhi stared at Lu Junnian. This man… This face… How many sleepless nights did she waste on this face? She loved him. She hated him. After all that, she thought that she had slowly forgotten him thanks to Lu Jinye. She had finally let go of him.
