Chapter 68 I Love Lu Jinye!
As soon as she stepped through the door, Mu Zhi deliberately increased her pace when she noticed Lu
Junnian. She refused to enter alongside Lu Junnian.
He seemed to have realized her unwillingness. Slowing down his footsteps, he allowed her to walk
ahead of him.
Mu Zhi first saw Master Lu seated on an old-fashioned wooden armchair, observing her actions, as
though waiting for their arrival.
In this instance, Master Lu was no longer as feeble as he was in the hospital.
Hence the authority he asserted was even more overbearing.
Mu Zhi had never met Master Lu alone. She was rather intimidated when she saw him.

“Dad.”
Mu Zhi hesitated and greeted master Lu.
Master Lu raised his head, fixed his eyes at her, gesturing for her to take a seat.
Mu Zhi obliged. She sat adjacent to him. Master Lu did not appear to have the intention to say anything.
But seeing that Lu Junnian was approaching them, she must first strike a conversation.
Thus, Mu Zhi took the liberty, “Dad, is there anything I can help you with?”
“One moment, we wait for Lu Junnian.”
In between his words, Lu Junnian just entered the door and sat across Mu Zhi.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn contrast to Mu Zhi’s nervousness, Lu Junnian was seemingly calm and collected.
He turned to Master Lu, but before he could open his mouth, the master said, “Since both of you are
here, please tell me what exactly happened between the two of you!”
Upon hearing those words, Mu Zhi reached out for the teacup, hoping to take a sip to steady her
anxiousness.
However, legs drained of strength, she almost slumped to the floor.
Meanwhile, Lu Junnian behaved naturally. He looked at Mu Zhi, asking, “Do you want to go, or do I?”
Mu Zhi only wanted to say, ‘None.’
But it was obviously not an option.
She stared at Lu Junnian and hesitated for a long moment before heaving a deep sigh, “Fine, let me.”
Since it was destined to let the cat out of the bag, she figured she might as well take on the role.
Lu Junnian had lingering love for her. If he were to say it, he would have emphasized on details of their
love life. Those were what Mu Zhi did not want to hear.
Hence, she volunteered.
She must skim on the unwanted details!
“I met Lu Junnian in the first year of university. Due to my passion for medicine and diligence, my results
were pretty good, but Lu Junnian was top of the class.”
“We were put in the same group during a competition, representing our university. And love came
spontaneously. But Xu Changshu, who is now my sister-in-law, did not agree to our relationship. On top
of Lu Junnian’s further studies overseas, our relationship ended there.”
Mu Zhi simplified the story. There was neither mention of her immense love nor her heart-breaking
resentment.
She did not even touch on being framed by Xu Changshu.
After listening to her words, Master Lu displayed no sign of anger.
That made Mu Zhi slightly relieved.
So, she added, “The rumors on the net are baseless claims. Lu Junnian and I have never experienced
intimacy, let alone having a child.”
After this, she turned her gaze to Lu Junnian.
Lu Junnian raised his head and looked at Master Lu, nodding in agreement.
“We did not cross the boundary.”
“Fine.”
Master Lu first nodded and then turned to Mu Zhi, “Do you love Lu Jinye or Lu Junnian?”
After finishing what he had to ask, he gave Mu Zhi some time to ponder before looking at Lu Junnian.
He explained, “I’ve sat on the request you made earlier. I’ve told the butler to transfer one of the villas to
your name. As for Mu Zhi, let her choose for herself.”
The outcome was just as Lu Junnian predicted.
Mu Zhi on the other hand, admired the poise Master Lu had while handling the situation.
Because in the relationship, she was the only outsider.
Lu Junnian was his grandchild while Lu Jinye his son.
But Master Lu was considerate of her.
“I love Lu Jinye!”
Eyes filled with firmness, Mu Zhi looked at Master Lu. Lu Jinye was not around anyway. There was no
harm to proclaim her love for Lu Jinye!
Besides, based on the current situation… She found it more comfortable and peaceful to stay by Lu
Jinye’s side.
Alas, coincidentally, Mu Zhi had barely finished her words when Lu Jinye entered through the door.
He heard Mu Zhi’s confession for him, proclaiming that she loved him.
He curved his lips upward subconsciously. When he got to the lounge, he spontaneously sat next to Mu
Zhi, putting a hand on her.
“What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to wait till I come before confessing your love? Aren’t you afraid that
I’ll miss your confession?”
Mu Zhi blushed to the roots of her hair.
But she did not withdraw her hand currently sitting underneath Lu Jinye’s palm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon seeing Lu Jinye enter, Master Lu ordered, “Butler, see Mu Zhi off. Junnian and Jinye stay.”
The butler came his way and held his hand in the air, a gesture to invite Mu Zhi to follow him.
Mu Zhi felt an indescribable solemnness at the Lu’s Manor, so she dared not refuse, leaving the place
with the butler.
But… She was a little worried.
What’s the master going to say to Lu Jinye and Lu Junnian?
After leaving the manor, the butler dropped Mu Zhi off at Lu Jinye’s villa.
Mu Zhi had noticed that the route felt like they were heading to the Lu Jinye’s villa, but she must not ask.
If she had, troubles would quickly come to her.
She planned to take a cab and leave the villa after getting dropped off. But to the surprise, the butler did
not go!
He stared at Mu Zhi with a smile, “Madam, aren’t you going in?”
Mu Zhi stood by the delicate door, hesitating at the password lock.
Wasn’t it awkward if she had inserted the wrong password?
However, looking at the butler’s beaming eyes, she bit the bullet and entered the digits.
Mu Zhi used to always forget the password, so Lu Jinye set an extremely simple answer, 123456.
But since their divorce, Lu Jinye might have changed the password.
When she had finished punching the series of digits, the door clicked open!
Strange!
Mu Zhi quickly entered the villa, secretly relieved as she turned to the butler, “Cool, thanks for sending
me home.”
“I have other business else to take care of.”
The butler followed Mu Zhi into the villa.
She must admit that the butler was a cunning old man, too crafty for someone his age.
The business butler had was to… Find out if Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye were living together!
He paced the room casually. Without intruding any personal space, he limited his movements to the
common area.
Behind him, Mu Zhi could feel her heart thumping rapidly.
