Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 167 Lu Jinye, Have You Fallen in Love With Me

Lu Jinye’s facial expression…. Mu Zhi only had one word in mind to speak it: collected.

Other than collected, Mu Zhi had no clue anymore of what other adjective that can be used to describe Lu Jinye.

His handsomely-crafted face had not a slight emotion. He did not look like he had a failed or missed wedding, what more to say being bugged by gossipy reporters.

It made Mu Zhi mind-blown that she stared at Lu Jinye for quite some time. She could not collect her thoughts to speak to him.

She realized it herself, and swallowed hard, “You are back.”

Lu Jinye had obviously spectated every single change of expression on Mu Zhi’s face. He smiled.

And simply answered, “Yeah.”

The air was silent for two seconds.

She felt awkward as Lu Jinye did not speak.

She stood up clumsily, looked at Lu Jinye, then told him, “Let… Let me get you a glass of water. We shall continue our talk.”

However, just as Mu Zhi turned around to get some water, Lu Jinye stretched his arm naturally and grabbed Mu Zhi.

“Don’t bother, let’s talk.”

Mu Zhi was pulled back to the sofa.

And because she was already used to his presence, she sat quite closely to Lu Jinye… But their distance between each other made her feel uncomfortable.

However, it would seem deliberate if she were to move now.
