Chapter 294 Do You Feel a Tinge of Familiarity for Me

Lu Jinye’s voice was deep. He put away his usual overbearing tone and was no longer as confronting as he normally was. Mu Zhi was stunned by Lu Jinye’s question. She startled briefly.

Looking at Lu Jinye doubtfully, Mu Zhi kept an alerted mind. “You can have these to yourself, I’m still wearing a bathrobe, I don’t feel comfortable talking at the door looking like this…” She said to Lu Jinye in the dark.

After all, she had just finished a shower and was dressed in a bathrobe. Moreover, Lu Jinye was a strange and dangerous man in her eyes!

Just as Mu Zhi was about to shut the door, Lu Jinye squeezed himself through the door gap and closed the door behind him.

“Sure, let’s bring our conversation into the room then.” His words were laced with playfulness.

Mu Zhi could feel her blood boiling.

She was trying to chase Lu Jinye away. Not only did he not leave, but he barged into the room.

He said, “So, what kind of person is your husband?”

“He is, without a doubt, someone who is much more powerful and influential than you.” Mu Zhi responded indifferently.

“Oh really? In what ways?”

Lu Jinye examined Mu Zhi with a smile while asking.

Mu Zhi despised Lu Chao because he lacked self-awareness and persisted in harassing her without boundaries.

However, when Mu Zhi was facing Lu Jinye, she could not find a proper reason to justify her contempt for him.

Lu Jinye did the unthinkable the first time she met him. During their next few meetings, he would address Mu Zhi as his wife. In her eyes, these were some of the dodgiest ways to flirt with a woman. But… For some reason, in the dark, not only did she not hate Lu Jinye, but she could feel an indescribable sense of security.

She had no idea where the sense of security came from.

Moreover, when Lu Jinye burst into her room uninvited, it was only logical to drive him away. But… A mysterious desire arose within her that told her to let him stay.

And that voice frightened Mu Zhi.

She had no idea where the voice came from. Her rational mind asked her to shun the man.

But her emotional mind brushed off that thought. She was even looking forward to spending more time with the man.

A long moment later, seeing that Mu Zhi did not say a word, Lu Jinye gradually approached Mu Zhi in the dark. Mu Zhi snapped nervously, “Don’t come here.”

“Are you afraid of me?” Asked Lu Jinye softly.

Despite the moon’s magnificent glow, Lu Jinye could not see Mu Zhi well.

Mu Zhi glared at him in the dark, then said peevishly, “Aren’t my actions clear enough?”

Lu Jinye smiled lightly.

He was neither troubled nor in a hurry. All he said was, “How did you get to know your husband?”

His drawled each word monotonously and emotionlessly.

Only Lu Jinye knew how heart-wrenching he felt when he said those words.

Mu Zhi’s rejection and amnesia were difficult enough to digest. Every gesture coming from Mu Zhi acted as a warning for Lu Jinye not to succumb to his impulse.

But… Lu Jinye longed to possess Mu Zhi.

He had no choice but to force himself to steady his mind, searching for Mu Zhi’s information one step at a time.

Mu Zhi muttered at Lu Jinye with a scowl, “We’re childhood friends.”

“Happy? Can you go?” Mu Zhi jeered in vexation.

Lu Jinye ignored Mu Zhi’s latter remark. He clenched his fists firmly in the dark, “Childhood friends? Did he tell you this, or did you remember it?”

“Lu Jinye, what are you trying to say?”

Lu Jinye was starting to get under Mu Zhi’s skin.

She rose to her feet furiously and stomped towards Lu Jinye.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye was not bothered to hear that. He merely smiled in response.

If Mu Zhi had remembered it herself, she wouldn’t be overreacting as such.

Conversely, now that she was jumpy, it told Lu Jinye that Mu Zhi was only brainwashed into thinking that.

In fact, Mu Zhi was somewhat suspicious of this part of their past when she was told. She was only bellowing at Lu Jinye to hide her anxiousness.

Instead of feeling angry, Lu Jinye was secretly delighted.

Oh heavens.

Where do all of these emotions come from?

No woman had ever manipulated Lu Jinye. He was convinced that Mu Zhi was the first and would be the last to do so.

“Do you feel familiar with your husband at all? Do you remember anything about you and your husband’s past?” Lu Jinye pressed on.

“Lu Jinye, enough is enough.”

Mu Zhi made it obvious that she did not plan to continue chatting with Lu Jinye. She scuttled towards the door, opened it, and pointed outside, saying, “Thank you for helping me earlier. But please leave at once.”

Lu Jinye frowned slightly. He stood up and came before Mu Zhi’s eyes within a few steps, questioning, “Is your husband’s surname ‘Lu’?”

Lu Jinye suspected that the man who manipulated Mu Zhi was Lu Junnian.

But that was not how Mu Zhi perceived his question.

She thought that it was Lu Jinye’s way of reiterating to her that he was her husband. After all, Lu Jinye was the only Lu she knew at this moment.

She scoffed at Lu Jinye, “Lu Jinye, have you heard anyone calling you a narcissist?”

With that response, Lu Jinye understood that Mu Zhi’s husband was not a Lu.

Hence her words of mockery.

Lu Jinye chuckled and asked contentedly, “Since you don’t find your husband familiar at all. Do you feel a tinge of familiarity for me?”

At the sound of his words, Mu Zhi suddenly felt a surging nervousness. She was stunned for some moment, not knowing what to say.

It took her a while to manage her words. “Enough, alright? Stop being vain. Who the hell are you?”

Lu Jinye laughed. “Nothing came to mind?” He asked once more.

Mu Zhi answered with a sigh, “Not a single thing. I don’t want to remember anything about you too.”

All she wanted was for Lu Jinye to stay out of her sight. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

However, Lu Jinye’s lips managed to locate Mu Zhi’s lips in the dark precisely. He reached in swiftly for a kiss.

His lips were smooth and silky, and he was penetrating into her mouth in the blink of an eye.

Mu Zhi froze. She could not work out what just happened. All she did was panting rapidly.

Lu Jinye smooched for a long while before letting go of Mu Zhi and then asked, “What about this?”
