Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 212

Chapter 212 There Has to Be Emotional Intimacy to Be Considered Intimate

Mu Zhi was aware that Lu Jinye had entered the bedroom. He did not turn on the lights, but Mu Zhi imagined that there was only a towel around his waist.

She closed her eyes tightly.

“I know you are awake.”

Lu Jinye spoke close to her ear. His voice was especially charming in the quiet room.

Just hearing his voice made her heart throb, and she didn’t dare to think what would happen if she could see him.

Her mind must have stopped working, otherwise, she could think of no other explanation for what she had said next, “I am asleep.”

She was shocked by her answer and was furious with herself.

On the other hand, Lu Jinye’s mouth curved into a satisfied smile.

“When you were in the bathroom just now, I heard you gulped. Did you… Have something in mind?”

Lu Jinye pressed a question to her.

In the dark, Mu Zhi gripped the blanket tightly. How should she answer the question?

Should she answer whether she had something in mind or continue pretending to be asleep?

Mu Zhi thought about it for a moment and decided that it was pointless to pretend to be asleep.

“I don’t have anything in mind,” replied Mu Zhi.

She opened her eyes. Aided by the intermittent moonlight, she saw that Lu Jinye was gazing at her intently. She felt as though the room had heated up under his gaze.

At the same time, a wave of heat was kindled in her heart.

Mu Zhi bit her lip. She wanted to say something to change the topic but before she could say anything, Lu Jinye pressed his lips against hers and consumed her words.

The softness of their lips felt both familiar and new.

It was new because they had not touched each other for a long time.

It was familiar because… Their bodies still remembered each other and the passionate nights they had.

With his lips, Lu Jinye coaxed her to open her mouth and aroused her bodily desires.

Her hands subconsciously clung to his neck and she slowly returned his kiss.

Lu Jinye trailed kisses down her body. Neither of them wanted to stop.

Later when Lu Jinye had nearly completed undressing her, Mu Zhi felt a sudden discomfort in her stomach. She got up and ran to the bathroom.

She was feeling nauseous again.

She kept still. It took some time before nausea went away.

When she turned around, Lu Jinye was waiting for her with a glass of water. He looked at her and asked, “Your nausea, are you pregnant with my child?”

Mu Zhi glanced at Lu Jinye, “That’s impossible. It must be insufficient rest and the cakes I had tonight. Perhaps I had eaten them too quickly, causing indigestion.”

Moreover, Mu Zhi had never experienced nausea when she was pregnant with Mu Xiaomu.

Mu Xiaomu was very quiet and obedient in her womb. If not for the monthly prenatal checkup confirming that Mu Xiaomu was still alive, Mu Zhi would have thought that she had died.

Mu Xiaomu was really that obedient.

As she did not seem pregnant at all, she never had the chance to interact with other expecting mothers.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye was quiet after hearing her answer.

He was looking out of the window at the moon, acting as if she had hurt him.

“Are the cakes my fault? I feel wronged. Are you going to make me feel better?”

Lu Jinye hinted at her with a wicked glint.

Mu Zhi blushed.

This time… She initiated it.

…

Xiao Qingqing had nowhere to go after leaving the police station. She had circled City A 3 times before finally came to a decision.

She drove the car to Xie Xiu’s villa.

The security at Xie Xiu’s villa was strict so Xiao Qingqing’s car was stopped outside the gate. A security guard said to Xiao Qingqing, “Miss Xiao, please leave. Mr. Xie Xiu had gone to bed.”

“Can you inform him that I am here?”

Xiao Qingqing had gotten out of the car and stood on the tip of her toes to look at the villa through the gate. She could see that the lights of the study were still on.

Furthermore, she knew that Mr. Xie Xiu needed very little sleep.

As such, she did not believe that Xie Xiu had gone to bed.

The security guard was put in a tough spot as Xiao Qingqing would not leave. He said, “Why don’t you give Mr. Xie Xiu a call.”

Xiao Qingqing’s lips curved into a satisfied smile. She took out her phone and called Xie Xiu.

“Good evening Mr. Xie Xiu, I am Xiao Qingqing.” Her voice was exceptionally clear in the darkness.

She smiled and continued, “I am now outside your villa. Can I come in to see you?”

“What is the matter?”

Although Xiao Qingqing had told him that she wanted to see him, Xie Xiu did not sound interested at all.

“The night is long. Can I come in to have a chat with you about life?”

Xiao Qingqing answered.

“Sorry, I have no interest in your life,” Xie Xiu replied from the other end.

He was blunt and had no regard for her feelings.

That made her angry.

However, she knew that this was how Xie Xiu had always been. This had always been his attitude towards women.

She had no right to be angry.

“What about Mu Zhi’s life?”

Xiao Qingqing enticed him. Her voice was charming, and her eyes gleamed in the dark.

On the other end, Xie Xiu was still unmoved. “I have all the information I need about her.”

“In that case, do you want to make her yours for the rest of her life?”

After saying so, Xiao Qingqing was furious!

It was too infuriating!

“Come in.”

In that instance, the gate opened. Xiao Qingqing entered the car and drove slowly into the villa compound.

Later, she hung up the phone and walked seductively into Xie Xiu’s villa.

Xie Xiu’s villa was very big. Her footsteps echoed loudly as there was no one around.

As Xie Xiu did not send anyone to welcome her, she deliberately made her high heels tap on the floor loudly wherever she walked.

Then she ascended the stairs slowly and appeared before Xie Xiu’s study.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

When Xie Xiu saw that Xiao Qingqing had arrived, he shut the book he was reading and stood up. He walked towards her and smiled, “This study is my private space. It is too intimate for conversations with you. Let us go to the sitting room downstairs.”

He sounded as if he was chasing her out of his private space.

Xiao Qingqing bit her lower lips unhappily, but she maintained her smile and said, “Mr. Xie, how should I put this. We had intimate relations together. Why am I not considered intimate?”

Xie Xiu looked up and laughed, “What we had was just physical. There has to be emotional intimacy to be considered intimate.”

He explained as he led Xiao Qingqing into the sitting room.

He extended his arm and gestured her in, “Why don’t we talk about Mu Zhi?”

“Are you interested in Mu Zhi? Do you want to sleep with her?”

Xiao Qingqing brought up the matter bluntly.
