Chapter 888 - Lets Break Up

Long Jinjing didn't hear Lu Zihao earlier when he claimed that he forgot about having girlfriends in the past and Grandpa Lu assuming that he might have selective amnesia because of the ski accident. She only heard the worried Grandpa Lu insisting on taking Lu Zihao to the hospital. As soon as she heard the word "hospital", his obvious lethargy in the past days immediately came to mind, causing her to panic and worry for him even more.

She had no idea that this kind of conversation occurred between the grandfather and grandson while she was busy heating up dinner for Lu Zihao in the kitchen.

"Why did he have to lie to me?" she murmured to herself. "It's not like I'll mind if he had girlfriends before. I have an ex-boyfriend, too. It's normal and not a big deal."

Her mood sank and she pulled the blanket more tightly around her. "Is it because he hates the idea of being serious with me that much? That's why he said that he only had bedmates, not girlfriends, in an attempt to deter me?"

She rested her chin on her knees. "Should Ibreak up with him?"

"Like hell I'm letting you break up with me before our 30-day agreement is over," Lu Zihao's eerily calm voice sounded from behind her.

She yelped and fell down from the windowsill as the blanket tangled all over her body. He caught her and helped her stand on her own feet.

"Ni-nikolai, you scared me! You're always so silent like a ghost! You're going to give me a heart attack someday!"

His answer was to tighten the tangled blanket, trapping her and not letting her escape from him.

"W-what are you d-doing, Nikolai?"

His intense gaze bored down on her. Although his expression was unreadable as usual, she could feel anger emanating from him.

"Why the f.u.c.k are you thinking of breaking up with me?"

She shivered at his deceptively soft and calm voice.

"Answer me, Jinjing."

She tried wiggling but it was no use. She couldn't disentangle herself from him and the blanket. "Iyou lied to me," she whispered.

Silence.

When he still didn't say anything, she slowly peeked at him out of the corner of her eye. He wasn't showing any emotions but the feeling of anger emanating from him intensified.

Why was he angry? She didn't do anything wrong! He was the one who lied to her!

Feeling indignant, she raised her chin and forced herself to look at him straight in the eyes. "I know that you don't really w-want us to become b-boyfriend and girlfriend and that I was the one who wanted this in the first place...but you didn't have to lie"

"I didn't lie, Jinjing," he told her in a voice so soft that it was almost a whisper.

She frowned at his denial. "Pleasethat's enough."

Unable to hold his gaze anymore, she turned her head away from him to look at the large but empty-looking master bedroom instead. What was she doing? These feelings were something that she shouldn't be feeling because of him. It was ridiculous that she was feeling like a pathetic, hopeless, scorned woman.

She forced a smile on her face but still didn't look at him. "I'm s-sorry"

"What the hell are you ap
