Chapter 70 Sharing a Bedroom
Mu Zhi was too embarrassed to ask Lu Jinye for a lift.
She gradually walked into the yard. But! Little did they
expect that a strong gust of wind started whipping in the
air just as Mu Zhi stepped into the yard.
Mu Zhi disregarded it, advancing towards the gate “Looks like it’s raining soon, why don’t you stay here
tonight?”
Behind her came Lu Jinye’s voice. There was no trace of emotion dwelling in his words. It was merely an
offer to stay.

“It’s fine.”
Even though Mu Xiaomu was currently being taken care of by Jian Xiaoning, Mu Zhi was hesitant to
spend time alone with Lu Jinye.
He gazed at the sky. Since Mu Zhi had no intention to stay, he figured he shouldn’t force her.
Mu Zhi continued walking out.
The manor was massive, while Lu Jinye’s villa was located deep inside the compound. When Mu Zhi
arrived at the door, the violent wind did not subside. Instead, it became even stronger.
Mu Zhi started increasing her pace.
While Lu Jinye showed no intention to see Mu Zhi off. He remained at the door, silently watching at Mu
Zhi when she insisted to leave.
This woman… Is she that eager to leave me after the divorce?
Even go as far as to deliberately keep a distance?
Hrm… Intriguing, interesting.
He watched as the woman desperately tried to hold her skirt down in the strong wind, frantically looking
around at the gate.
It was difficult to find a cab at this hour.
And still, it did not seem like he was going to offer her a lift, watching her like a monkey.
Mu Zhi had no idea how long she had stood at the gate. As time passed, it became even unlikelier to get
a cab. She was starting to second-guess herself!
That was not the point. The thing was that not only did the wind become more violent, it also started
drizzling!
It started as droplets of water splashed on Mu Zhi’s body. She scowled in discontentment. She wanted to
move closer to the road, but in the blink of an eye, a huge rain poured down.
Moreover, there were traces of hail!
How much unluckier could she get?!
Mu Zhi almost cursed when she noticed the hailstorm that came out of nowhere.
But it was at this moment when Lu Jinye came out with an umbrella. Hovering it over her head, he told
Mu Zhi, “Come in, there’s nowhere you can go now.”
The rain was too heavy, soaking every inch of Mu Zhi’s shirt in an instant.
What choice did she have?
Without a lift from Lu Jinye, she had to return to the villa.
Nodding, she followed Lu Jinye back and nimbly ran into the bathroom.
Mu Zhi needed a bath and a fresh change of clothes.
The place was where Mu Zhi spent a great deal of time living in. Thus, her actions were smooth and
natural.
She instinctively moved into the bathroom and took off her drenched clothing. Upon a twist of the tap,
she carefreely stepped into the bathtub to enjoy a nice, hot bath.
It wasn’t until Lu Jinye’s voice came from outside the door when Mu Zhi was startled awake!
She was naked from head to toe!
Despite being the same old home, where nothing had changed…
She no longer stayed there and had no change of clothes!
Lu Jinye’s words were, “I’ve found a T-shirt, leaving at the door for you.”
Mu Zhi was flushed all over. She quickly responded, “Sure.”
Then, she cracked the door open and squeezed her arm out the little gap to grab the shirt.
Lu Jinye ascertained that Mu Zhi had gotten the shirt and returned to the couch to watch the latest
financial news. The news was half an hour long. Lu Jinye sat through the entire thirty minutes to finish
the news, but Mu Zhi was nowhere to be found.
Lu Jinye frowned. Standing to his feet, he started making his way towards the bathroom.
He knocked on the door and asked, “Mu Zhi?”
It had been an hour since she entered the bathroom. The sound of water splash had ceased half an hour
ago. Why was she not out yet?
“What is it?”
Mu Zhi was staring at her shirt through the mirror. She had put on the T-shirt Lu Jinye gave her. It hardly
covered her thighs. It was the best option she had, despite struggling to cover the most important parts
of her body.
After all, she was not allowed to fiddle around.
Once she did, she would instantly expose herself!
She had no undergarment on!
“I’m fine, I’m fine.”
Mu Zhi first responded to Lu Jinye and continued to check out her clothes, not knowing what to do.
Gritting her teeth, she decided to remove Lu Jinye’s dried T-shirt and wore all her soaking wet underwear
and the uncomfortably drenched shirts.
Lu Jinye’s frown deepened when he saw Mu Zhi wearing the shirt, dripping water all over the floor.

Mu Zhi became pink in the face.
“Umm, I didn’t bring any underwear with me, it’s not appropriate to dress in just your T-shirt.”
She explained.
Lu Jinye curved his lips into a smile, sizing up Mu Zhi, “So, are you afraid to be seen by me?”
Mu Zhi was suggesting that.
“Which part of your body haven’t I seen before?”
Her flush darkened to be red color upon Lu Jinye’s remark!
She looked at herself awkwardly, only to realize a puddle of water beneath her feet. The water came
from her drenched clothes. She seemed comical at this moment.
She…
Even found herself embarrassing!
Lu Jinye stared at Mu Zhi’s expression… Is she abashed?
When has she ever been shy of herself?
It was not long ago when Mu Zhi was the sheepish woman who belonged to him.
Lu Jinye looked at Mu Zhi, rubbing his chin lightly as it dawned on him that he did not understand the
woman.
The way she looked right now was… Yeah, cute.
He stared at her blushed cheeks and ultimately could not help himself.
Taking his eyes off her, he looked to the bathroom, “Get a good shower and change into the shirt.”
Mu Zhi remained stationary.
Lu Jinye continued, “You have two choices. First, I’ll wait for you and stare at you, or second, I’ll wait for
you in the bedroom…”
“I choose the second.”
Finishing what she had to say, Mu Zhi bolted towards the bathroom.
The first one sounded dangerous. She assumed she didn’t need to be looked at for the second choice.
However, when she had changed into the fresh T-shirt, left the bathroom, and headed to the bedroom, it
suddenly struck her that… The second choice was no better.
Because she had to go into Lu Jinye’s bedroom!
Did that mean she was to share a bedroom with him tonight?
Mu Zhi stood outside his room, hesitated but ultimately pushed the door open.
