Chapter 76 You Still Love Me
Just as Mu Zhi was at a loss, when everyone had no clue what to do, a man suddenly came from afar.
He squeezed through the crowd and told Xia Shaner, “Let her go, I’m here to listen to what you have to
say.”
“What difference would you make?”
Getting refuted by Xia Shaner, Lu Junnian, who had just arrived, kept his poise.
He calmly turned to the passers-by behind him and told them to keep quiet, then said to Xia Shaner, “I
make all the difference, do you have any idea who I am?”
“Lu Junnian!”
Xia Shaner’s answer made Lu Junnian look like an idiot.
“Then, do you know who I love?”
Lu Junnian disregarded Xia Shaner’s answer and shot another question.
A question that would perturb Mu Zhi.
What does Lu Junnian think he is doing by spinning in circles with his nonchalant attitude?
“Mu Zhi.”
Surprisingly, Xia Shaner chose to entertain Lu Junnian’s question.
This threw Mu Zhi off… What the hell is happening now?
Mu Zhi threw her gaze at Lu Junnian only to realize that Lu Junnian had his eyes fixed at her.
They naturally locked eyes. It felt like a form of wordless conversation
A conversation that told Mu Zhi to not be scared, he will protect her.
For some reason, a sense of security started coming to Mu Zhi.
“Then who do you love?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Lu Jinye.”
Xia Shaner continued answering Lu Junnian’s question.
“So, doesn’t that make us a team? I love Mu Zhi, I’m eager to possess Mu Zhi, Mu Zhi is your love rival,
you love Lu Jinye. If I have won Mu Zhi’s heart, that means you could go for Lu Jinye, right?”
Lu Junnian took his time to finish that long remark, as though intentionally allowing Xia Shaner time to
ponder.
It was not until a moment later when Xia Shaner appeared to have understood his words.
Meanwhile, Lu Junnian promptly added, “Hurry up, release Mu Zhi, let her come to me, we will be
together while you can have Lu Jinye to yourself.”
The first part of his sentence might seem too obvious.
But the latter gave Xia Shaner some logical form of motivation.
However, Xia Shaner was seemingly struggling to grasp the relationship. She started distracting herself
with her sea of thoughts.
Lu Junnian took the opportunity to gradually approach Xia Shaner. Mu Zhi was already within his reach.
But Mu Zhi did not notice the trick Lu Junnian was playing. She did not dare move a finger, allowing Lu
Junnian to hold her hand.
At this moment, Xia Shaner suddenly held the knife in the air and bellowed, “Don’t move, stop touching
her! I want to see Lu Jinye.”
Lu Junnian turned his face around immediately, “Look, who’s that at the door!”
The moment Xia Shaner was distracted, he quickly lugged Mu Zhi towards himself and shielded her in
his embrace.
Xia Shaner sensed Mu Zhi escaping her hand. She swiftly stretched out in attempts to grab her, but her
unstable emotions made her lose control of her knife, pushing her knife forward with the pointy end.
Mu Zhi did not react fast enough. All she could do was staring at the knife as it zoomed into her face.
Lu Junnian did not hesitate for a moment. He shuffled into position and blocked the knife with his arm.
Crimson red blood instantly seeped through his wound.
He went on to knock the knife off from Xia Shaner’s hand.
And the scene went into chaos.
The guards barged into the room amid clamoring, pinning Xia Shaner on the ground to immobilize her.
Lu Junnian did not get his wound dressed before ordering the guards to bring Xia Shaner to the
Psychiatric Department.
“Are you hurt?”
As soon as he finished making arrangements for Xia Shaner, Lu Junnian immediately lowered his head
to inspect Mu Zhi’s wounds.
One would always display their true emotions when they were anxious.
Lu Junnian’s nervousness made Mu Zhi’s heart skip a beat.
She had not come back to her senses from the terrifying scuffle that just happened. All she could do
was shaking her head involuntarily and reassuring him that she was fine.
However, she went on to say, “Are you alright? Why would you block the knife for me? You fool.”
“Because… Had I not done that, the knife would land on you.”
“But you’ll get hurt too.”
Mu Zhi uttered anxiously, forgetting to mask her feelings.
“It doesn’t hurt. Your concern is the best anesthetic.”
These words were said with endearment.
The dangerous ordeal attracted a huge crowd. They had not dispersed at this point. Listening to Lu
Junnian’s words, the surrounding passers-by simultaneously gasped and cheered.
“This is too touching, too romantic.”
It was the cheer that brought Mu Zhi back to her senses.
In the blink of an eye, she put away all the care she displayed and said coldly, “Take a seat, apply
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpressure at three inches above the wound, let me dress it.”
These words were said with apathy. The way a doctor would behave to her patient.
The crowd booed in contempt. Some of them felt sorry for Dr. Lu for almost losing an arm for Dr. Mu.
However… Looking at her stern face, Lu Junnian grinned from ear to ear.
He turned to glance at the nosy passers-by and said, “Matron, please shut the door for me and clear
the area.”
These words were said with dominance.
The matron quickly obliged.
When the area was cleared, the scene was only left with Mu Zhi and Lu Junnian.
Lu Junnian then laughed, “I know that you still love me.”
Mu Zhi had never denied her love for Lu Junnian. But she did not wish Lu Junnian to find out about it.
So, she ignored his remark and asked, “How did you know you should slowly bait Xia Shaner? Did you
know that she had psychotic disorders?”
When Lu Junnian arrived at the scene, he should not have the time to analyze Xia Shaner’s behavior.
Lu Junnian noticed that Mu Zhi was dodging his affection gesture. He chose not to rush her. Instead,
he addressed Mu Zhi’s question, “I went through your dashcam and the basement car park’s
surveillance footages, then found out that your car was tampered with. The culprit was Xia Shaner.”
“Besides, the one who photographed me rescuing you and made up the story about us was also Xia
Shaner.”
“So, you’re saying that Xia Shaner has been the one behind the rumors lately?”
Mu Zhi could not help but stare at Lu Junnian doubtfully.
He frowned and nodded in response.
“You could say so.”
“After leaving Lu Jinye, Xia Shaner had vanished from the modeling industry, she was later rumored to
have an affair with a tycoon. Besides, her family has histories of schizophrenia.”
“!!!”
Mu Zhi trembled at the news.
