Chapter 106 Mu Zhi, Aren’t You a Self-degrading Bitch?

Mu Zhi quickly turned around in surprise when she heard Lu Junnian’s voice came behind her.

But Lu Junnian was already on his way to foot the bill with the invoice given by the attendant. She promptly chased after that but could not keep up with the strides of Lu Junnian’s leg longs. Even the cashier was quick to serve Lu Junnian because of his captivating looks. Thus… In a baffling fashion, Mu Zhi received a new phone as a gift from Lu Junnian.

“I’ll give you the money.”

Mu Zhi looked at Lu Junnian, profoundly embarrassed.

She hurriedly grabbed cash notes, wanting to repay Lu Junnian but he only revealed a faint smile in his eyes, saying, “It’s a gift, do you think I need the money?”

“No.”

Mu Zhi explained. She didn’t want to accept Lu Junnian’s love, hence her reluctance to receive his gifts.

However, Lu Junnian leaned towards Mu Zhi with a wide grin, “Take it. You’ll be receiving plenty of gifts from me in the future. You need to get used to it.”

“No, thank you, really.”

Mu Zhi took a step backwards to maintain a safe distance with Lu Junnian, “I don’t want more gifts from you.”

Amid their scuffling, Lu Jinye walked toward them from afar. Standing next to him was Linda, who took on an awkward expression when she saw Mu Zhi and Lu Junnian.

She heard about the gossips from a few days ago.

Despite not seeing the grimness on Lu Jinye’s face, she could easily visualize it in her mind. Moreover, there was a brand new phone in her hand, while further away, Mu Zhi and Lu Junnian had a new phone too!

So, that made it obvious…

Both Lu Jinye and Lu Junnian intended to gift Mu Zhi a phone. But obviously, one of them was ahead of the other.

Linda was afraid to embarrass Lu Jinye. She was also worried about bringing Mu Zhi unwanted troubles. So, she uttered, “Chairman! Umm, there’s a client that wants to see you in half an hour, I think I might’ve forgotten to put it into your schedule. Apologies for overlooking it!”

Linda was the Robin to Mu Zhi’s Batman in the past. Thus, Lu Jinye naturally understood Linda’s intention.

He disregarded Linda completely, and headed towards Mu Zhi and Lu Junnian!

Mu Zhi was in the middle of scuffle to refuse Lu Junnian’s phone when she was astonished by Linda’s voice, who called out Lu Jinye’s name.

She was stunned to silence.

Mu Zhi’s movements were obvious, so Lu Junnian could sense them.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye had never intended to attend to Mu Zhi’s series of demands for a new phone. But for reasons unknown to himself, after a meeting at the client’s company, he brought Linda to the nearby mall to look at phones!

And coincidentally, they ran into two people! The last couple he wished to see!

When he told her to ask from Lu Junnian, he didn’t expect her to go to Lu Junnian! All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Amid walking towards Mu Zhi, Lu Jinye stretched out his hand, beckoning for Linda to give him the phone he just bought, and without hesitation, he came before Mu Zhi’s eyes, pried her fingers open, then delivered the newly-bought iPhone X into her palm.

He gave Lu Junnian a provocative smirk, “She likes expensive ones.”

Mu Zhi trembled from head to toe when she heard Lu Jinye’s words.

He breathed his remark into her ear. The flirtatious tone gave her goosebumps all over.

Lu Junnian had the newest iPhone 8 in his hands. Mu Zhi was just casually checking out the iPhone 8. She had no intention of buying it. Instead, she was planning to buy a cheaper local-made phone before Lu Junnian surprised her by paying for the phone.

The interception of Lu Jinye escalated the situation even further.

She turned to look at Lu Jinye awkwardly, wanting to refuse his phone, but he did not allow her a chance to speak at all. Lu Jinye closed into Lu Junnian, and smiled sardonically, “After bedding Mu Zhi, I’d usually gift her a diamond sports car.”

He was jeering at Lu Junnian for being a cheapskate.

Finishing what he had to say, Lu Jinye disregarded Lu Junnian and Mu Zhi, he turned around and made his way to the mall exit right away.

Lu Junnian felt his pride greatly insulted!

He reckoned Lu Jinye was boasting and intentionally provoking a reaction. He was subtly bragging about his relationship with Mu Zhi, showing off the realism of their marriage!

Lu Junnian turned around in exasperation, stomp towards the cashier, saying, “I’ll take all of the iPhone X in this store, there’s no need to pack them when they’re paid for, just smash them all!”

“No no no!”

Mu Zhi was rather upset by Lu Jinye’s earlier remark.

His words were an insult to her, implying that she was an object. However… Lu Junnian’s choice pulled Mu Zhi back to her rational mind. She hurriedly went up to stop Lu Junnian, and profusely apologized to the staff members, “Sorry, don’t worry about it, it’s fine, just a phone is enough.”

Mu Zhi apologized briskly before dragging Lu Junnian out of the store.

But Lu Junnian shook her hands off. His eyes were flooding with coldness as he questioned, “What is it? Not good enough to your appetite?”

After getting demeaned by Lu Jinye, she was now being humiliated by Lu Junnian.

Mu Zhi gritted her teeth, stared at Lu Junnian, drew a deep breath, and bellowed, “Lu Junnian, do you have any idea what you’re talking about? You scumbag!”

“Hoho.”

Lu Junnian scoffed, eyeing down at Mu Zhi in anger, “You said that you still love that man?”

“Calling me a scumbag?! Mu Zhi, aren’t you a self-degrading bitch?!”

She would relentlessly refuse his love.

And he wouldn’t believe her when she said that she loved Lu Jinye.

He waited until she got a divorce.

Now… Lu Jinye had deserted her, announced his marriage with another woman in public, and insulted her.

Not only did she refuse to accept him, but she also insisted to stand at Lu Jinye’s side.

It was utter humiliation to him… How could the love of his life… Be such a self-degrading woman?!

Mu Zhi raised her head, dying to stop her tears from streaming down, returned the newly-bought phone into Lu Junnian’s hands, and chuckled, “Yeah, it’s not new that I’m self-degrading. You should just stay away from me. The farther, the merrier!”

…

On the other hand, it was afternoon time when Xiao Qingqing had woken up.

The soreness of her body and the excruciating headache from the hangover, as well as the man who was currently next to her, reminded her that she had a wild night.

She silently glanced at Shen Mobo, who was sound asleep, then got off the bed to put her clothes on, one after another.

She browsed her phone, eager to have heard from Lu Jinye, but unsurprisingly, there was not a missed call from him. There was… Not even a text message.

The glimmer of hope she had only stemmed from her fantasy.

Shen Mobo woke up just as she had finished dressing herself.

He jumped to his feet, hugged Xiao Qingqing from behind, proclaiming, “I love you.”
