Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 94

Chapter 94 You Still Love Me, Right?

By the time Mu Zhi arrived at City A, the blueness of the sky had been bright and soft.

She took a deep breath in the musky air. Despite the sleepless night, the freshness was one she had never experienced before!

True enough, after finding peace with her inner conflicts, even the earthy smell in the air felt pleasant!

She hopped into the train followed by a cab and headed to the Junxin Hospital. She had decided to take her time packing her stuff.

However, she had just arrived at the clinic when a man barged in out of the blue. He scrambled to lock the door with a click then turned around to face Mu Zhi.

“Where did you go last night?”

In between his words, he walked up and gathered Mu Zhi into his embrace.

Mu Zhi struggled awkwardly as she was brought to Lu Junnian’s chest and ultimately shoved him away.

Then said, “My phone ran out of battery last night, so I turned it off.”

“I haven’t checked it since, did you call?”

It was a poor attempt at blatant lying. Mu Zhi made a brief call with Jian Xiaoning and Mu Xiaomu last night before turning off her phone and went to bed, except she could not fall asleep. She also used her phone when she bought the train ticket and sent the message to Lu Jinye.

Of course, that was also when she noticed the multiple missed calls from Lu Junnian.

She figured there was no need for her to return the call.

“I’ve heard about the hospital.”

Lu Junnian did not dwell on Mu Zhi’s slight explanation. Instead, he was eager to solve Mu Zhi’s issue.

“Yeah, I’ll have to thank you for introducing me to the job, so I could finally become a doctor again.”

Mu Zhi kept her head down. She turned around and proceeded to clear her belongings on the desk.

Lu Junnian did not respond to that remark from Mu Zhi. He sat on the couch, staring at her silently as she busied herself with packing.

He had a clear knowledge of Mu Zhi’s living habits. She had always been an orderly and clean person. Thus, all she had in her office was some books. She would not bring with her a bunch of dolls and decorative figures like other women, so she needed no help packing up.

Mu Zhi did not bat an eye at him. She allowed Lu Junnian to sit on the couch as she buried herself in what needed to be packed. When she was done, she raised her head to meet Lu Junnian’s eyes, saying, “Let’s go.”

She thought Lu Junnian was here to drop her off after she had done packing.

Since giving her a ride was just a little wish by Lu Junnian, she figured she could fulfill that wish. After all, she would have had to take a cab otherwise.

However, when she entered Lu Junnian’s car, she found a box sitting atop the back passenger’s seat.

There were pens, papers, some items and several books.

It looked almost identical to Mu Zhi’s. She frowned, “Who does this belong to?”

From the books, she could determine that the box belonged to a doctor.

Lu Junnian arched his brows, “Mine.” Finishing what he had to say, he bent over to start the car.

“Why did you pack your stuff?”

Mu Zhi became even more perplexed. She wore the seatbelt and turned around once again to glance at the items in the box.

Meanwhile, Lu Junnian had his eyes on the road as he said, “I’ll go wherever you go. If I can’t protect you, I’ll feel worthless.”

“!”

Shocking!

Mu Zhi’s first thought told her that there was something wrong in her ears. She stared at Lu Junnian in surprise and said solemnly, “Lu Junnian, don’t mess with me!”

“I’m not!”

When they stopped at the red lights, Lu Junnian turned to face her with a stern expression.

His captivating eyes were brimming with serious charms.

Mu Zhi looked away from him and took another glance at the box, “Make a U-turn at the junction ahead, we’re going back.”

“You’re not born yesterday, why would you have to be wherever I go?”

“You have no idea how great this job is! This is where you can realize your potential, if you don’t work in this hospital, your only choice will be the First Hospital.”

“I know.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Lu Junnian eyed Mu Zhi silently as she finished her words. He even found himself enjoying Mu Zhi’s display of anxiousness for him.

He waited until Mu Zhi finished her words before putting on a smile and answered with a simple response.

Mu Zhi glared at Lu Junnian, “What do you mean you know? If you do, you wouldn’t be doing something stupid like this!”

Amid their exchange of words, the red lights turned green and he started moving forward.

Lu Junnian continued driving as Mu Zhi reiterated with a stern face, “Make a U-turn.”

“No.”

Lu Junnian did not flinch. He had no intention of listening to Mu Zhi at all.

Rage was quickly brewing within Mu Zhi!

She could not comprehend why Lu Junnian would be so capricious. He had no business with her getting terminated at all.

“Then put me down at the junction in front, I want to get off.”

Still, Lu Junnian would not oblige. He continued driving as he explained to Mu Zhi, “As long as I utter the word, any hospital I prefer would hire me.”

But Mu Zhi felt Lu Junnian’s actions were too reckless. She could not bring herself to listen to a word he had to say.

She turned her face to Lu Junnian and said peevishly, “Fine, if you wouldn’t turn back, just put me down here.”

“Nope.”

“Do it now.”

Mu Zhi responded in a fit of pique.

“Nah I won’t.”

“Then I’ll jump!”

Mu Zhi glared at Lu Junnian fiercely, threatening him with gritted teeth.

Lu Junnian glanced at her helplessly before stopping the car by the curb. Mu Zhi promptly opened the door and rushed off the car.

Then, Lu Junnian followed closely behind Mu Zhi. She was going to run away when Lu Junnian seized her hand.

“Let me go.”

Mu Zhi thought Lu Junnian was looking for a quarrel. But when she turned around, she was surprised by the dash of laugh glittering in his eyes.

“What are you laughing at?”

Mu Zhi asked Lu Junnian as he made her swallow the shrewish words that were hovering at the tip of her tongue.

“I’m just laughing at how childish we are. So, Mu Zhi, you still love me, right?”

The words that came out of nowhere put Mu Zhi in a trance.

She rolled her beautiful eyes at Lu Junnian and did not say anything to him.

All she did was shaking him off and tried to move away.

Lu Junnian chased after her and explained patiently, “You only quarreled with me because you love me. I could feel everything during the argument earlier, despite your efforts to keep it hidden.”

“Not true.”

Mu Zhi turned back and muttered at him.

Lu Junnian wore a tolerant and satisfying smile.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the road, Lu Jinye’s car came to halt before the red lights. He leaned against the door and threw his gaze out the window.

He had plans to make his way to the Junxin Hospital. But by the looks of it, there was no point to get there anymore.
