Chapter 293 Exactly What Type of Man Is Your Husband

Mu Zhi rolled her eyes at Lu Jinye and left. The airline held itself responsible for the emergency landing. They bore the cost and arrangement of the accommodation of every passenger on the island.

Finally, Mu Zhi made it to the end of the bonfire and could return to her room peacefully. She locked the door and went into the bathroom with plans to take a therapeutic shower, then go to bed to cap off the dreadful day. The only good thing about tonight was that she was finally rid of Lu Jinye.

Mu Zhi finished her shower and lied on her bed when her doorbell sounded. She frowned slightly and unwillingly brought herself to the door, thinking that it’d be rude not to answer if it was staff from the airline.

Lo and behold, when she looked through the peephole, she found the same man who called himself an actor earlier – Lu Chao. He had a bouquet in his hands go to with a hair only he agreed was attractive. He pressed on the doorbell once again with a pretentiously elegant front.

As soon as she saw the narcissist’s vain looks, Mu Zhi could not contain the disdain brewing in her mind. Mu Zhi remained silent, deciding to pretend that she was fast asleep.

But Lu Chao was not buying int. He rang the doorbell for a second, third, and forth time.

“I know you’re in there.” His voice pierced the silent room.

Lu Chao fixed the bouquet in his hands and was seemingly confident of his love confession.

“I only came looking for you when I’m certain that you’re here. Don’t be shy, I know you’re just surprised by my affection.”

Surprised my ass.

Mu Zhi almost burst into a fit of curse words when she heard the repulsing words. However, without any choice, she could only clutch the door handle relentlessly while saying to the man outside, “Please leave me alone, I need my rest.”

“It’s such a beautiful night. Don’t let it go to waste by sleeping so early. Why don’t you let me in? We’ll just have a few drinks and chat for a little. Look at how graceful the moon is.” Lu Chao persisted.

His words gave Mu Zhi goosebumps all over.

She turned around to look at the moon. Regardless of how magnificent it was, having Lu Chao’s presence would only disgust her.

“Go! I won’t open the door!” Mu Zhi reiterated adamantly.

However, Lu Chao seemed eager to get under her skin. He replied, “Miss Mu, I’m here with utter sincerity. Isn’t that a little rude to keep me waiting…”

“I suggest you leave right now. Otherwise, I can’t promise you that I can contain my husband when he gets mad.”

As a last resort, Mu Zhi brought up Lu Jinye’s name. She loathed what she had just said, but to chase away this annoying pest, that was the only way to go.

“Fine, open the door, let me talk to her husband. Perhaps he might choose to leave and give the room to us.”

Lu Chao’s playful tone told Mu Zhi that he had figured out her schemes.

Mu Zhi was left wordless by Lu Chao’s remark. She continued to clasp the door handle for some moment before insisting, “Please leave.”

“What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to find your husband?” Lu Chao pursued, “Hahahaha, honestly, I’ve looked into you. The man earlier isn’t your husband at all. Open the door, accept my flowers, and in return, you will get an unforgettable night from me.”

Lu Chao had never been rejected by women before. With his stature, countless women were waiting to throw themselves at him.

He was sure that Mu Zhi was merely fishing for more. He had the full confidence of his charms.

“I’ll call the hotel management to drive you away right now!”

Mu Zhi had no intention to continue butting heads with Lu Chao.

She had thought in the first place that she shouldn’t have blown the issue out of proportion since the man shared the same flight as her.

However, her patience was running thin at this point. She walked straight towards the phone, prepared to call the hotel, and tell the security guards to toss the scumbag out.

“Snap!” As soon as she touched the phone receiver, she heard a crisp sound, and blackness filled her eyes.

There was a blackout!

It was a relatively rural and small island. While the hotel had a power loss, it meant that the entire island was out of electricity.

The table phone operated on optical fiber, and hence it became unavailable.

Mu Zhi was stupefied…

Lu Chao was waiting outside the door. Standing amid darkness, Mu Zhi could feel her heartbeat racing rapidly.

“Knock knock…” A couple of heavy knocks followed closely after.

“There’s a blackout. I know that you’re terrified in there. Open the door, I can protect you!”

Mu Zhi felt like she was about to have a mental breakdown.

Would the man do the unthinkable in the dark?

Mu Zhi could even picture the revolting smile on Lu Chao’s face right now.

Just as she was at a loss of what to do, a light illuminated the bed head, followed by her phone’s ringtone.

Mu Zhi jumped forward jovially to answer the phone.

“There’s a blackout. Do you feel like heading out for a walk and maybe supper? I found that there’s a pretty good grilled squirrel fish around here.”

A voice came from the phone, and strangely enough, he knew that Mu Zhi loved squirrelfish.

Mu Zhi could immediately tell that the voice belonged to Lu Jinye.

In this instance, she could not care less how Lu Jinye got his hands on her number. After all, an even peskier man was standing by the door.

“There’s a pervert at my door.”

Mu Zhi said with a cracked voice.

“Open the door.”

But Lu Jinye uttered an unexpected response.

“Didn’t you hear? There’s a pervert at my door.”

“I’m here for you.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Lu Jinye was shockingly determined when he said those words.

Mu Zhi was flabbergasted. She thought for a few seconds before standing up. It had just dawned on her what he meant. She slowly headed towards the door and gradually creaked it open.

At last, she found Lu Jinye towering over her under the emergency lights, and Lu Chao was nowhere to be found.

How does he chase Lu Chao away in such a short time?

Mu Zhi was perplexed, but she instantly refused Lu Jinye’s offer.

“Sorry, I don’t like squirrel fish.”

“Then, what about these?”

Lu Jinye lifted both hands in the air.

He carried numerous bags in his hands, which contained popcorns, chips, and other titbits.

“Nah.”

Mu Zhi stood her ground.

Over the past years, Mu Zhi had taken after Xie Xiu’s habit by living with him. Xie Xiu was a perfectionist who had a strict dietary routine. So, Mu Zhi gave up her love for titbits.

Or perhaps, Mu Zhi was unaware that these were her favorite food before her amnesia.

In the past, Mu Zhi would munch on titbits unreservedly when she was with Lu Jinye. She could always maintain a svelte figure without having had to keep an eye on her diet.

Lu Jinye knitted his brows in confusion. In his eyes, Mu Zhi had never refused her favorite food.

“I’m curious.” Lu Jinye sized up Mu Zhi with a frown.

“What are you curious about?”

“Exactly what kind of man is your husband? How does he manage to turn you into a completely different person?”
