Chapter 306 An Opportunity for You To Get To Know Me Better

Mu Zhi followed Eric’s description and approached Lu Jinye’s seat. But as soon as she realized it was Lu Jinye, her jaw dropped to the floor.

“Why you?” Mu Zhi gawked at Lu Jinye in disbelief. “So, you’re the girl’s parent?” Lu Jinye scowled at Mu Zhi, “Which girl’s parent?”

“Whatever, you’re not worth my time. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Since you’re not some principled man, I don’t expect your daughter to be any good.”

Upon finishing her words, Mu Zhi seized her bag and turned around, storming out of the café.

Lu Jinye had only said three words throughout the meeting.

On the other hand, Eric was sitting in the car, listening to the exchange from the earpiece. He had planted a tapping device on Mu Zhi’s bag to listen to Lu Jinye’s response so that he could get a more accurate judgment of how he was connected to mom.

But he was dazed to hear a flurry of angry words coming out of Mu Zhi’s mouth before the conversation ended abruptly.

Eric deduced that they had met at least once before.

Seeing that Mu Zhi was bursting out of the café furiously, Lu Jinye left some cash on the table and chased after her.

Mu Zhi refused to bat an eye at Lu Jinye. She strode towards the car only to realize that Lu Jinye had caught up to her.

Eric scrambled to duck under the seat when he saw Lu Jinye scurrying towards mom.

He must not let Lu Jinye know about his relationship with his mom at this moment.

Luckily, Mu Zhi had not managed to open the car door before Lu Jinye seized her wrist, saying, “Come with me.”

“Why?!”

“You…”

Mu Zhi could not finish her sentence before Lu Jinye scooped her off the ground and dashed towards his car.

Mu Zhi was perturbed as she was caught off guard. She bellowed at Lu Jinye’s face, “Put me down!”

She tossed and turned in Lu Jinye’s embrace ceaselessly. He did not find her heavy, but her lack of cooperation made Lu Jinye feel a little anxious.

Thus, he peered at her and threatened her, “If you won’t stop struggling, I will kiss you right here.”

“You scumbag!”

Mu Zhi rebuked Lu Jinye.

“Yes, you’re right.” Said Lu Jinye in a low and deep voice.

His response infuriated Mu Zhi. She smacked Lu Jinye with both hands, but Lu Jinye had opened his car door at this point and placed Mu Zhi into his car.

“Stop struggling, or I can’t guarantee that I’ll control myself.” He said.

“You’ve experienced it before.”

As soon as he brought up what happened before, Mu Zhi blushed to the roots of her hair.

She could vividly remember how Lu Jinye kissed her before. After finishing his words, she instantly relived the moment they kissed.

Mu Zhi was suddenly muted. Lu Jinye took the chance to enter the car, lock the door to prevent Mu Zhi from getting off, and set off immediately.

Meanwhile, Eric was sitting in Mu Zhi’s car and was stupefied to witness how Lu Jinye abducted his mom in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately… He had interacted with Lu Jinye before. Eric trusted Lu Jinye, so he wasn’t too concerned for his mom’s safety.

But what did that mean?

While Mu Zhi was struggling violently, Eric’s tapping device had fallen off from the bottom of Mu Zhi’s bag.

He had no clue what would unfold later on between Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye.

Sitting in Lu Jinye’s car, Mu Zhi was embarrassed and angry at the same time. She jeered at Lu Jinye, “What do you plan to do to me? Let me off the car.”

“Nothing, I’m just giving you a chance to get to know me better.”

Mu Zhi gaped her eyes at Lu Jinye, as if telling him that he was out of his mind. “Sorry, I don’t really want to know you.” She snapped.

“But I want you to know me.”

Lu Jinye insisted.

Mu Zhi was left wordless. It took her a moment before uttering at him peevishly, “Mr. Lu, I understand that you’ve been lonely since losing your wife. It might be difficult to get used to, but please let me go.”

Lu Jinye glanced at Mu Zhi with a stern face. “I didn’t come to you because you’re lonely.”

“Then why would you pester me?”

“You should know better.”

Instead of dressing Mu Zhi’s question, Lu Jinye shot back with a subtle response.

Mu Zhi was startled briefly. She thought for a while, then persisted, “Mr. Lu, it’s impossible.”

Lu Jinye smirked at Mu Zhi, “It’s too early to say.”

Mu Zhi had steam coming out of her ears upon hearing his playful remark.

She leaned against the seat, shut her eyes, and refused to say another word to him.

She allowed Lu Jinye to keep driving and planned to flee when she got the chance.

However, Lu Jinye continued driving without any signs to stop the car.

Mu Zhi started off shutting her eyes for a quick rest, but she realized the sky was getting darker when she cracked her eyes open.

The surrounding looked like a rural area, and the car was traveling on a broad highway.

Mu Zhi became perturbed, “Lu Jinye, you must be mad! Where are you bringing me to?! You psycho!”

She had started to think that the man had a psychiatric condition.

But Lu Jinye merely cast a sideway glance at her, then said solemnly, “I’m as normal as they come. If you’re interested, I can show you my health evaluation report.”

Mu Zhi gave Lu Jinye the cold shoulders.

At this moment, Lu Jinye had arrived at a narrow road. It looked like they were in a park that was under renovation and were traveling further into the construction site.

When the car finally came to a halt, the night had draped over the sky like a black backdrop. From her seat, Mu Zhi could see little glittering lights coming from the bushes.

Those were lights of firelights.

Have I seen this in the movies before?

Mu Zhi tried her best to recall. There must be a reason why this scene looked familiar.

She could not help but open the car door and step off the car.

Lu Jinye followed suit. He smiled when he saw how deeply immersed in thought she was.

Mu Zhi had forgotten entirely about the unpleasant feeling she had just experienced. She was captivated by the dazzling lights.

She gradually approached the bushes to get closer to the fireflies. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Mu Zhi?”

From afar, Lu Jinye called out Mu Zhi’s name tentatively.

Mu Zhi turned around to look at Lu Jinye in response.
