Chapter 234: Knocking Sense Into Xi Mubai
Date?
Luo Zheng frowned and wanted to turn him down without hesitation. “I… ”
However, she stopped just as she blurted the words.
She had to attend the Gu Family’s banquet, but she initially wanted to turn down Xi Mubai’s offer for her to be his date… After all, he saw her as his enemy and she remembered how much he detested her.
If she remembered correctly, she met Mu Nianqing for the first time in her previous life, during the Gu Family’s banquet. Mu Tianwei was the one who introduced them to each other.
Not long after, Mu Tianwei married Zhao Manru and allowed Mu Nianqing to move into the Mu Family!
Well, her intentions were to deal with the Mu siblings and hence, there was no need to turn him down.
Xi Mubai and Mu Nianqing showing up at the same place together. Wonderful!
Mu Nianqing, my dear “Sister”, long time no see!
While thinking about it, Luo Zheng smiled and said joyously, “Sure, it’s surprising that you’ve invited me, Senior Mubai. I… am absolutely honored and pleased to go with you!”
She was looking forward to meeting Mu Nianqing together with Xi Mubai and she was immensely excited!
In her previous life, Mu Nianqing managed to defeat her simply because she was in love with Xi Mubai. He was also her greatest weakness… In this lifetime, she wanted to see if she would be able to beat Mu Nianqing.
“Senior Mubai, see you at the Gu Family’s banquet next week!”
The dismissal bell rang as soon as she finished speaking.
At the thought of Bo Hancheng being upstairs, Luo Zheng turned around and scurried upstairs happily.
At this moment, Xi Mubai stared at her slender back and realized that her slender figure was the same as that of Luo Luo who was drenched in the rain with him back then.
At this moment, he finally remembered an important point.
Her voice…
Compared to Mu Nianqing, Luo Zheng’s voice was closer to Luo Luo’s!
All of a sudden, he somehow felt an acute pain in his chest. Xi Mubai placed a hand on it and misery overwhelmed him.
“Luo Zheng… don’t leave… ”
Even Xi Mubai had no idea what was going on.
He extended his arms and hugged her waist from behind. He then tightened his grip and said, “Luo Luo, you’re Luo Luo, aren’t you? Luo Zheng, you’re clearly Luo Luo!”
He looked broken and helpless while muttering to himself like a madman.
Luo Zheng’s body froze and a peculiar look formed in her eyes.
Before she could even think of an answer, he picked her up and turned her around, making her feel like she had fallen into a warm embrace.
“You’re angry because I failed to recognize you, right?”
Xi Mubai asked, seemingly having lost his rationality. He seemed to have lowered his pride and was trying to please her too.
Luo Zheng’s heart skipped a beat and it was as if her blood was surging through her veins.
After a few seconds, she smirked derisively.
Xi Mubai, is Luo Luo really that important to you? Is she so important that you’re willing to do anything for her, even if she’s me?
I only saved your life. Is it that unforgettable?
I had been chasing hard and wooing you for ten years but you could abandon me too. What’s this small favor to you?
It’s too late, Xi Mubai. It’s all too late. We… are going to be separated because of the feud we had in the previous life!
Luo Zheng then pushed his chest with her hands, in a bid to break free from his embrace.
However, before she could even do so, he hugged her even more tightly to the point where she felt like she was almost going to suffocate… it was as if he would lose his precious gem once he let go!
Luo Zheng’s patience began to grow thin after failing to break free.
Pak~
At the next moment, Luo Zheng slapped him tightly relentlessly.
At that instant, Xi Mubai snapped out of his trance.
“Senior Mubai, are you awake now?”
Xi Mubai shuddered and let Luo Zheng go.
Luo Zheng then placed her hand on her back to move his fingers away. With a smirk, she sneered, “Senior Mubai, why are you behaving like this for no reason? In the past, you used to shun me all the time and yet, you’re pestering me now! Surely you couldn’t have… really fallen for me?”
Luo Zheng’s slap made Xi Mubai’s chest hurt even more.
It was as if something deeply etched in his memories was making him feel absolutely vexed.
Was I… out of my mind? I actually hugged Luo Zheng!
