He gleaned at the woman sitting by the table, her face did not change a lot from back then but her
demeanor gives away a boring monotonous vibe. Of course, that was not a pleasant description over
someone you used to know.
The Mu Zhi he used to know was a genie with a pair of hopeful eyes, like a torch in the midnight. The
light in her could penetrate the worldly darkness.
The Mu Zhi standing in front of him had lost the scintillating halo. Her gaze had turned dull and
passionless. She looked like she was but another married woman living a lackluster life.
Judging at her well-dressed appearance and elegant mannerism, she must have married a well-to-do
person. However, she was not the Mu Zhi he was once familiar with.
The Mu Zhi now looked at him as if he was a stranger.

Receiving her unfamiliar gazes, he could not help but think Mu Zhi must have forgotten who he was.
He slowly approached Mu Zhi and stood right in front of her.
Standing in the corner was Yan Shu, the busybody onlooker who helped made the reunion possible. She
was reluctant to leave the scene and genuinely curious how their lives would move on following the
reunion.
But she had previously promised Lu Jinye that she would leave them alone, and so she stealthily exited
the scene, leaving both of them with each other.
Mu Zhi stared at Lu Jinye. She was cautioned of Yan Shu’s absence and got a little nervous.
Still staring at Lu Jinye, her eyelashes flickered like a pair feathered wings as she blinked repetitively and
involuntarily.
“Long time no see.”

Lu Jinye stood next to Mu Zhi and said.
Mu Zhi responded with a rather puzzled expression.
Why did he say that? It was not that long ago since they saw each other.
“Do we know each other?”
Mu Zhi stared at Lu Jinye in a daze. She realized they have been referring her as the protagonist of the
story.
Because she looked like this man’s wife?
But she was certain she was not his wife.
Her childhood sweetheart was Xie Xiu.
“Sorry, sir, I have heard of the story told by Yan Shu, but I am sure I am not the person you are looking
for.”
The familiar voice… It’s Mu Zhi’s tone! She must be his Mu Zhi!
Lu Jinye was even more excited.
Lu Jinye did not say anything but stepping forward and grabbed Mu Zhi’s hands. He rolled up her sleeve
and exposed the crescent scar on her wrist.
The incident happened on a random night when Mu Zhi was walking in the dark. She accidentally
knocked on the dial of the watch Lu Jinye was wearing. They had no idea how did it happen but from
then on, Lu Jinye had stopped wearing that watch and Mu Zhi had worn that crescent scar ever since.
Now, seeing Mu Zhi’s scar, Lu Jinye was confident that she was Mu Zhi! His Mu Zhi!

Mu Zhi felt violated. She quickly pulled her hand back and gave Lu Jinye a fierce look, saying, “Mister!
Please behave yourself!”
She did not even know who this man was.
She could only address him as ‘Mister’.
She did not want to stay at this place. She turned around and left, hoping to stay away from Lu Jinye.
Lu Jinye noticed her intention. He quickly came in front of her and blocked her from leaving. He grabbed
Mu Zhi by her wrists and pulled her into his arms and bawled, “Mu Zhi, don’t go!”
He hugged Mu Zhi tightly in his mighty strong arms preventing her from escaping.
Mu Zhi was taken aback. She looked at Lu Jinye and did not know what to do. She tried to break free
from his embrace but her resistance only prompted him to tighten his arms even more, trapping her
within his embrace.
She could feel the warmth of his body through the thin clothing on his body.
Just then, his heart was racing and beating wildly.
She stared at Lu Jinye in a daze. She attempted to push Lu Jinye away, but was held tighter by Lu Jinye
yet again.
“Let go of me!”
When Mu Zhi shouted at him, he took the opportunity to come down on Mu Zhi’s lips. With his tongue, he
forced open her lips and teeth.
Mu Zhi was caught off guard. She did not expect Lu Jinye would violate her with such brunt force.

Lu Jinye’s tongue slithered in like a snake before Mu Zhi could force a seal to her lips. And before she
realized, his skillful tongue dove deeper and deeper, invading the every part of her mouth.
He chased and she dodged. It was a hunting game!
Her fluttering body was enveloped in his uniquely domineering energy.
She was terrified. However for some reasons, her body opposed conscience and was otherwise
responding to his touch. Apparently, her sub-conscience enjoyed his sensual touch.
The nuanced sensual excitement was foreign and shocking to her. She was torn between following her
heart or mind. She did not dare to pursue the budding emotions.
Mu Zhi was afraid that she will drown in unchartered waters unleashed by this stranger.
With the last bit of conscientious drive in her, she frantically pushed Lu Jinye away. She kept pushing him
away, trying so hard not to avoid the threat.
Unfortunately, Lu Jinye grasped her in the wrists imperviously while letting in his tongue to explore and

Mu Zhi knew that she was gradually falling for his seductive advance. Her resisting flapping eyes too
finally gave in. And finally, she submitted and reciprocated to his lead with her eyes closed.
It was not until her mobile phone rang that alarmed her back to reality. She quickly pushed Lu Jinye
away and fled to the side before answering the phone.
Because of the disruption from the ringing phone, she did not even have time to see who was calling her.
In a gasping and panting voice she answered the phone, “Hello?”

“Ann, where are you?”
It was Xie Xiu who called. He sounded concerned and worried.
“I… I am still at the tour.”
Mu Zhi bit her lips and answered hastily.
“Where? You sound like you are out of breath.”
Xie Xiu was suspicious at her unusual behavior so he pried on.
“Must be because I ran laps trying to get pretty photographs but the result is disappointing.” Mu Zhi had
never lied to Xie Xiu so this was a first.
“I thought of introducing you to my friend who lives in City A later. Till then, I’ll be waiting for you at
home.”
“Sure, I’ll head home right away.”
She hung up after clarifying on her whereabouts.
She picked up her jacket and fled the scene immediately.
Lu Jinye saw Mu Zhi was leaving the place so suddenly. He leaped forward trying to stop her.
“Where are you going?”
“Go away and leave me alone!”
Mu Zhi bawled at Lu Jinye.
She left his villa without hesitation after that.
