Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 318 Her Mother’s Grave

Mu Zhi and Xie Xiu could not touch. It was an obstacle that they could never overcome even though they had seen many doctors. The doctors didn’t even know how to treat her.

The amount of contact between the both of them was limited to holding hands. But now… Mu Zhi could even… Xie Xiu reached out and hugged Mu Zhi tightly to test it out. Mu Zhi was also nervous.

But her reaction wasn’t as bad as before! He moved closer… And closer… She did not push him away.

Mu Zhi was so nervous that she kept her eyes shut the entire time. She only opened her eyes when she felt that she was firmly wrapped in his arms.

She gawked at Xie Xiu in disbelief.

Xie Xiu’s face was filled with surprise, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes.

“Your body isn’t rejecting my touch.”

Xie Xiu hugged her tightly and drew her even closer.

His breath fell on her face and slowly moved towards her lips. Mu Zhi shut her eyes tightly in nervousness. It was as if by closing her eyes, all her senses were heightened, and it magnified what was happening between her and Xie Xiu.

Just when his face was about to descend on hers, Mu Zhi pushed him away.

“Xie Xiu. I can’t. Can we try another time? I’m too scared.”

Mu Zhi stopped him again. But this time, she had consciously resisted him, and it wasn’t because of anything else.

Xie Xiu did not want to force her. “It’s late. You should go to bed.”

Mu Zhi felt guilty.

It was only natural for them to consummate their marriage. But for some reason, she could not do it. Mu Zhi felt depressed. She stood up and went back to her room.

She gave it a lot of thought but still could not think it through.
