Chapter 201 How Selfess Is Mu Zhi for Doing That?

Mu Zhi gaped at Lu Jinye in astonishment, then gulped.

She was caught off guard by Lu Jinye’s love confession.

Staring at him solemnly, Mu Zhi could see his eyes gleaming with determination.

In the end, she did not know what to say to him anymore.

She loved Lu Jinye. While Lu Jinye’s gesture was moving for her, apart from being courageous, she

had no clue what else to think. In fact, she had no idea what else she could do.

Mu Zhi gradually walked up to Lu Jinye, wrapped her arms around him, tiptoed, and gave Lu Jinye an

amorous kiss.

“Thank you.” She said.

Lu Jinye knitted his brows slightly, gazing down at Mu Zhi with incredibly gentle eyes, “Thank you? Is

that all?”

“What else could there be?”

“Aren’t you supposed to appreciate me with some actions?”

Lu Jinye curled his lips into a playful smile.

Mu Zhi gave him a coy look, then softly escaped from his embrace and headed into the kitchen. “Fine,

what would you like to eat tonight? What about ginger and clam soup to go with some home-cooked

dishes?”

Lu Jinye fixed his eyes at Mu Zhi and followed her into the kitchen. “Whatever you want to cook, let me

lend you a hand.”

“Nah, work is in a mess for you right now, you should put all of your focus on work.”

Finishing what she had to say, Mu Zhi skipped into the kitchen and busied herself with the cooking

preparation. Meanwhile, Lu Jinye plunged himself into work in the study room.

When dinner was served, the two of them sat across from each other by the dining table. Mu Zhi

enjoyed the meal with a dazzling smile.

On the other hand, Lu Jinye had his heart-meltingly tender gaze on Mu Zhi.

After a long while, Lu Jinye was the first to break the silence, “Did you know? I’ve never considered

myself to be one who believes in love.”

“What does that mean?”

Mu Zhi asked as she plugged a piece of clam into her mouth, slurped the flesh off its shell, and left

what was remaining at the side.

If Lu Jinye did not believe in love at all, Mu Zhi might wonder who Xiao Qingqing was to him.

But if he did believe in love, then Mu Zhi had nothing to ask.

However, Lu Jinye used the word ‘consider’.

Thus, he might be hovering over a grey area.

Lu Jinye did not raise his head to look at her. He helped himself to a bowl of soup and said casually,

“That means, I believe that there is true love, but I didn’t believe that I’ll have anything to do with it.”

The idea then dawned on Mu Zhi.

But she became even more curious. Sizing up Lu Jinye solemnly, she asked, “What about Xiao

Qingqing? Who was she to you?”

Lu Jinye pondered briefly before answering, “A female partner whom I try to fall in love with.”

His ambiguous explanation confused Mu Zhi even more.

However, that was an inappropriate topic to dive deeply into. If she were to adamantly get to the bottom

of things, it might backfire on her.

Mu Zhi was not the type of person who would dwell in the past.

All she wanted to do was to enjoy the love she presently had.

After a short pause, Lu Jinye slowly opened his mouth to explain to Mu Zhi, “My mother used to love

Master Lu. She was an emotional woman. Thus, when that woman showed up at my place and

informed my mom of the truth, mom couldn’t really accept that Master Lu had an affair. She could not

bear to see the love she had shattering into pieces.”

“Although I never received much fatherly love since I was little, I’d always believed that my parents

loved each other. Until… Mom committed suicide, I stopped believing that.”

“As for Qingqing in the past, I used to admire many things about her personality. But it might be a form

of retaliation against Master Lu from the frustrations that accumulated over the years.”

Lu Jinye seemingly had the intention to continue disclosing his feelings.

However, Mu Zhi hurriedly cut him off. She seized his hand and said to him, “Don’t go on. Let the past

stay in the past. Master Lu used to love your mother, and your mother loved you, Lu Jinye. Everything

else that came after was Master Lu and the woman’s fault.”

When Mu Zhi was done speaking, the space reduced to a deafening silence.

Mu Zhi did not know what else to say.

However, she did not wish for the miserable air to cling onto Lu Jinye.

Mu Zhi helped herself to a bowl of soup, then started recollecting her past, “I don’t know anything about

my father. I remember asking mother where he was. My mom told me that my father had passed

away.”

“I believed her as a kid, but when I grew up, I realized that my father might not have been dead. After

all, mom had never visited his grave all these years. There was not a trace of a man’s belongings at

home too.”

“Perhaps, mom hated dad.”

“But, before meeting you and after leaving Lu Junnian, I had no hope for love.”

At this point, Mu Zhi could not bear to say another word, despite bringing it up with an easy-going note

in the first place.

Lu Jinye raised his head only to see that Mu Zhi’s eyes were bloodshot. He sniggered uncontrollably,

stood up, and pecked on Mu Zhi’s cheeks gently.

“I’ve never seen a fool like you. Why would you relive your painful past as a way to console others of

his painful past?”

How selfless was Mu Zhi for doing that?

Lu Jinye brought Mu Zhi into his arms and squeezed her involuntarily.

Meanwhile, while Mu Zhi was simply indulging herself in his cuddle, she could feel her body

temperature creeping up. At the same time, she was even more mortified to feel the increasing heat

coming from Lu Jinye’s body.

She tried to shove Lu Jinye away.

But the more she struggle, the tighter Lu Jinye squeezed her.

“Stop moving.” His voice was deep and hoarse.

Lu Jinye’s command told Mu Zhi that he had a reaction.

She promptly complied and not moved a finger.

But Lu Jinye carried her off the floor and stormed into the bedroom.

The rain came with its serenade on the roof and steady drumming on the outside of the windows, and

inside the house, the singing of their moans echoed in the ceiling in harmony.

…

In the hospital, Xiao Qingqing stepped off the bed and gazed at the rainy night.

She then slowly moved out of the ward and gave Shen Mobo a call, requesting him to handle her

discharge.

She was perfectly fine. And looking at how Lu Jinye and Mu Zhi’s lovey-dovey stories took the city by

storm, Xiao Qingqing was seething!

Why would she continue to fake her condition?

Lu Jinye had fully bought into her lies that she was pregnant with his child! Did he not care about her at

all?

Fine…

If you don’t care about this child, then let’s see if you care about your other one!

It is all Mu Xiaomu’s fault for being the obstacle of their relationship!
