Chapter 307 Are We Sleeping Together
Numerous fireflies were scattered in the air when Mu Zhi wheeled around. A magnificent, round moon
hung in the black sky, and Mu Zhi felt like she was standing amid countless miniature floating lanterns.
Lu Jinye could barely resist stepping forward to hug Mu Zhi. An image flashed across Mu Zhi’s mind in
that instance. This scene felt like déjà vu, and the name Mu Zhi… Was strangely familiar.
She had long forgotten what name the tour guide gave her. She had been going by ‘Ann’ in the past
couple of years. But why did it feel so familiar when Lu Jinye called her ‘Mu Zhi’? Could it be her real
name?
Mu Zhi stared at Lu Jinye. She had the urge to burst into tears.
When it occurred to her that emotions were brewing profoundly within her, Mu Zhi brushed every thought
off her mind and made a beeline towards the car. She hastily entered the car, seemingly a little upset.
Seeing that, Lu Jinye followed suit.
“Does the scene look familiar?” He asked.
Mu Zhi frowned at Lu Jinye. So what if the scene is familiar?

He must be dying to hear me say that it is.
Mu Zhi would do everything to upset him.
“Not really,” Mu Zhi said in a fit of pique.
Lu Jinye was not bothered by her response. “If you don’t find it familiar, let me tell you a story so you can
get to know me better.” He said.
“Sorry, I’m not a psychologist. I can’t treat your mental condition, and I’m not interested in whatever you
have to say.”
Every word from Mu Zhi seemed to have flown past Lu Jinye’s ears. “My wife’s name is Mu Zhi. I found
this firefly park because she wanted to stargaze and watch fireflies. I bought this place, ready to build an
open-air park with fireflies, but she had later disappeared, and she took my heart away with her.”
Mu Zhi had agreed that it was a touching story.
She was moved, but… She must not display it on her face.
She told herself that she must not succumb to an unprincipled man like Lu Jinye.
“This is nothing but a typical story of a rich man pursuing the love of his life. What’s so special about it?”
Mu Zhi muttered with a listless front.
Lu Jinye could not help but laugh, “What about you? If you find my story ordinary, why don’t you share
your story to me?”

“My husband and I are childhood sweethearts, mind you, we are one of a kind.”
“Has your husband done anything that touches you?”
Lu Jinye looked at Mu Zhi playfully, pretending to be butting heads with her.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhi threw a nasty look at Lu Jinye at the sound of his question. “He plans to build a
theater for me, he keeps me accompanied, and he rushes to my help when I run into any trouble.”
Once again, Mu Zhi could not pinpoint a specific example, no matter how hard she tried.
It felt like many should have happened, but she could hardly remember anything.
Lu Jinye nodded with a smile, “I see, childhood sweethearts, just like the melodramas.”
“So what? As long as I like it.”
Mu Zhi was unwilling to accept Lu Jinye’s remark and snapped at him.
While Lu Jinye stared at her gently, “So, your husband is a busy man, it makes you think that just
spending time with you is a gesture of love?”
“Is that how meaningless and rational you perceive love? Haven’t you done anything crazy?”
“Enough, stop asking. You’re violating my privacy.”
Mu Zhi glanced at Lu Jinye, then cut him off. She refused to say another word and did not enjoy being
questioned.
It felt like she was interrogated, forcing her to admit that there was an underlying issue between her and
her husband.
Mu Zhi sat on her seat with her back straight.
Her heart started thumping rapidly.
For some reason, whenever there was a total silence, she could feel herself getting closer to Lu Jinye.
It was a worrisome and terrifying feeling to her.
“Truth to be told, I constantly live in resentment. I’m eager to look for her. She was a considerate and
strong-headed woman.” Said Lu Jinye.
Mu Zhi kept mum and remained alert at all times, but Lu Jinye insisted on telling his side of the story.
He knew that regardless of what happened, Mu Zhi was listening to him.
It didn’t matter to him whether she enjoyed listening to the stories. He had hopes that the stories would
draw the two closer to each other.
“Do you know why Mu Zhi is called Mu Zhi?” Asked Lu Jinye once again.
She said nothing while he continued, “Because her mother was a doctor. She chose a type of herb as
Mu Zhi’s name. Mu Zhi also became a doctor.”
“Unfortunately, when I got married to her, I was unaware of her past and dreams. If I had known, I

Lu Jinye elaborated as though speaking to himself while Mu Zhi continued to put up an indifferent front.
However, she had heard every word that left Lu Jinye’s lips.
She understood that Lu Jinye was expressing his resentment and his love for the woman.
“In the end, when we separated, I realized that she had entered my heart before I could realize it.” Added
Lu Jinye.
“What do you like about her?”
Mu Zhi asked Lu Jinye out of the blue.
Lu Jinye pondered briefly before saying, “A tacit understanding. Although we had only known each other
for a few years, it felt like we had been together for several lifetimes. That’s how connected we are.”
Mu Zhi was stunned to hear his reply.
She had never shared the same connection with Xie Xiu. All she could feel was how concerned Xie Xiu
usually was for her.
It was astonishing to her how familiar Lu Jinye’s side profile looked like in this instance.
The familiarity was terrifying.
“Let’s go home.”
Mu Zhi turned to Lu Jinye and said, “You brought me here so I could get to know you better, and you’ve
achieved that. Can I go now?”
Mu Zhi hoped that Lu Jinye would turn the engine over when she was finished.
Lu Jinye did not hesitate before starting the engine, but they had just started moving when the rain came
pouring down from the sky.
It became increasingly heavy, making it dangerous to continue driving.
They could barely see anything farther than one meter from the car.
Lu Jinye drove carefully while Mu Zhi was started to be afraid.
He gradually drove to the nearest motel and stopped the car.
“I don’t feel like staying here.”
Mu Zhi peered at the motel. Am I supposed to sleep with Lu Jinye tonight?
