The Villain's Contract Lover

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Rise Again ("Just this one night. I will be okay sleeping right here.") (2)

"I just went to look for you over at Ritz Carlton, but you weren't there." Mu ZhenYu wasn't pleased with her avoiding his question and added another statement.

WanWan stopped on her way and gave him a quick glance. "I had probably already left by the time you got there."

Mu ZhenYu said indifferently, "There was no security footage of you leaving."

Having said that, he pushed closer and closer to her. Finally, his handsome face was immediately next to hers. "You sure you weren't hiding?"

"I have my ways." WanWan dashes inside the bathroom after she left him a wink.

Oh, the almighty god. Please tell her that her magic would still work!

Mu ZhenYu snickered and turned back toward his own bedroom – he would wait till tomorrow and see what she has to say to him.

The rain was pouring even heavier than before.

He didn't know how much time had passed since he had been staring at the ceiling before he heard a very gentle knocking sound.

A minute or so later, Xu WanZhi, with a pillow in her arms, carefully walked inside his room. "By the way, that fox.... I didn't want it to bother you so I have the assistant take it away."

The moisture from the shower mixed with the floral smell from her washed hair filled the room. Underneath the bathrobe, there was her long and slender pair of legs. Her skin was pale and seemed to have a hint of pink underneath.

She cocked her head a little, and her long and curly hair poured down on her shoulder, making her look that much more delicate.

Mu ZhenYu thought to himself that he had never really looked at her carefully. She was quite a pretty woman. "That was your fox?"

WanWan nodded. "Yes.... It's mine."

He gave a low "Mm" and said nothing else.

A few moments later, she was still standing by the door with no intention in leaving.

"Something else?" asked Mu ZhenYu, out of character.

WanWan's head was almost buried entirely into the pillow, "I... am afraid of thunder."

Mu ZhenYu snickered; This woman was not afraid of anything other than being poor. Since when was she afraid of the thunder?

But before he had the chance to decline her, she had already slipped onto the couch in his bedroom and rolled herself up into a ball. "Just this one night. I will just sleep here."

Mu ZhenYu was speechless. After a little while, he gave up on it, went back into his own bed, and forgot that she was even there.

WanWan was finally able to let out a sigh of relief. She closed her eyes and got ready to go to sleep.

It was quiet inside the room. Nobody knew how much time had passed before the low and sexy voice rang again, "Xu WanZhi."

"Hmm?" She rolled over and saw his back in the dark. The man's shoulders were very broad underneath his blanket.

"HuanYu has gone bankrupt." His voice was void of undulation, so she couldn't tell how he was feeling.

WanWan didn't understand what he was trying to get at, so she said the only thing she could, "I know."

Still with his back to her, he asked, "Aren't you worried about your $50 million?"

Even though she knew he couldn't see her expression, she shook her head with certainty.

"No, I am not worried."

The only thing that she worried about right now was her life.

"With your ability, you will be able to rise up again." That's what happened in the book.
