Chapter 182 Sleeping in Lu Jinye’s Embrace

 

Lu Jinye’s raised his wide, captivating eyes, observing Mu Zhi’s facial expression.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhi could not help but frown. She returned the file to Lu Jinye and pouted her lips, “He isn’t my partner.”

Lu Jinye then replied with a smirk, “If he isn’t your partner, why would you refuse my invitation for dinner and end up having the time to get lunch with him?”

Lu Jinye said nothing in response.

 

In silence, he stared at her with his deep-set and enigmatic gaze, which made her… Terrified.

Mu Zhi turned her back towards him and ignored Lu Jinye while leaning against the back of the couch.
