Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 68 I Love Lu Jinye!

As soon as she stepped through the door, Mu Zhi deliberately increased her pace when she noticed Lu Junnian. She refused to enter alongside Lu Junnian.

He seemed to have realized her unwillingness. Slowing down his footsteps, he allowed her to walk ahead of him.

Mu Zhi first saw Master Lu seated on an old-fashioned wooden armchair, observing her actions, as though waiting for their arrival.

In this instance, Master Lu was no longer as feeble as he was in the hospital.

Hence the authority he asserted was even more overbearing.

Mu Zhi had never met Master Lu alone. She was rather intimidated when she saw him.

“Dad.”

Mu Zhi hesitated and greeted master Lu.

Master Lu raised his head, fixed his eyes at her, gesturing for her to take a seat.

Mu Zhi obliged. She sat adjacent to him. Master Lu did not appear to have the intention to say anything. But seeing that Lu Junnian was approaching them, she must first strike a conversation.

Thus, Mu Zhi took the liberty, “Dad, is there anything I can help you with?”

“One moment, we wait for Lu Junnian.”

In between his words, Lu Junnian just entered the door and sat across Mu Zhi.

In contrast to Mu Zhi’s nervousness, Lu Junnian was seemingly calm and collected.

He turned to Master Lu, but before he could open his mouth, the master said, “Since both of you are here, please tell me what exactly happened between the two of you!”

Upon hearing those words, Mu Zhi reached out for the teacup, hoping to take a sip to steady her anxiousness.

However, legs drained of strength, she almost slumped to the floor.

Meanwhile, Lu Junnian behaved naturally. He looked at Mu Zhi, asking, “Do you want to go, or do I?”

Mu Zhi only wanted to say, ‘None.’
