Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 175 Jinye, I Can’t Lose You

Mr. Li, who came alongside Lu Junnian, promptly obliged. He strode up to the curtains and pulled them open, allowing the dazzling sunlight to shine the entire room.

The light shone in the darkness and the darkness failed to overcome it.

Mu Zhi squinted at the sudden beam of light and came in contact with her constricted pupils. After getting used to it, she went back to the stationary self.

Lu Junnian ordered Mr. Li to wheel him towards Mu Zhi and told Mr. Li to excuse them.

Lu Junnian just went through a car crash. He was heavily bound by a bandage. Despite his difficulty getting around, he insisted on making his way to Mu Zhi.

He sat across Mu Zhi on a wheelchair, stared into her eyes, and said, “Mu Zhi, don’t be upset, I’m for you.”

As soon as she heard Lu Junnian’s voice, Mu Zhi suddenly raised her head to look at him. She then pointed at the door anxiously, beckoning him to leave at once.

“Leave, leave right now!”

“Stop getting close to me! Mom only died because of me.”

Mu Zhi suddenly went berserk. She leaped to her feet and bellowed at Lu Junnian.

Once again, tears started surging from her eyes.

“Your mother only got to live until today because of your hard work. This is not your fault.”

Lu Junnian comforted her gently.

Mu Zhi said nothing.
