Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 333

Chapter 333 Let Us Start Over

Mu Zhi had been sitting continually against the head of the bed in a daze. She did not switch on the light or look at her watch or phone, so she did not know how much time had passed.

She continued to be in a daze for a long time as her mind reorganized her thoughts. However, her uneasiness persisted. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Mu Zhi did not respond, so Xie Xiu said from the outside, “Ann, can I come in? I would like to explain to you what had happened.”

Mu Zhi remained silent. She listened to Xie Xiu speaking again.

“I know you. You are definitely not asleep. After what had happened, I don’t think you could fall asleep.”

Mu Zhi gave a deep sigh.

Actually, she felt touched whenever she listened to Xie Xiu telling her their stories.

The stories seemed so perfect and beautiful. So beautiful that she did not dare to disturb them.

However, she felt sad. She couldn’t understand how she had become who she was now.

Why couldn’t she return to how she was in his stories?

“Come in.”

Mu Zhi said after some consideration.

Hearing her answer, Xie Xiu opened the bedroom door. He was about to switch on the light to see her, but Mu Zhi immediately stopped him.

“Don’t turn on the light. I would like us to speak in the dark.”

In the darkness, Xie Xiu could only see her profile but not her facial expression.

“I am sorry.”

Xie Xiu said, and he made a move to go to her.

Mu Zhi immediately flinched and said, “Don’t come near yet.”

Xie Xiu immediately stood still.

He explained from his position, “I was too impatient. In the past, our relationship had always been smooth sailing and amicable. However, recently I feel that I couldn’t understand you as well as I did before. I had almost lost you, and I am afraid that I would lose you again.”

“So… I have acted rashly just now,” Xie Xiu said after a short pause.

Mu Zhi sighed but she did not reply.

Xie Xiu continued, “I am very sorry. I don’t know how to protect the person I desire to protect or to love whom I desire to love. Sometimes what I did may seem a little extreme, but I truly love you.

Love…

Mu Zhi couldn’t help softening her heart at the word.

She did not know what she should answer Xie Xiu.

She wondered what Xie Xiu had done wrong.

As a husband, he had every right to kiss his wife. Not just a kiss. If he wanted to do more than that, it was also within his right.

That was common knowledge.

It was Mu Zhi who was not normal.

Yet, she had not only pushed him away. She even made him apologize to her.

She felt remorseful thinking about it.

She had failed her duty as a wife!

Xie Xiu attempted a step forward.

At this moment, Mu Zhi stood up suddenly.

She looked at Xie Xiu in the darkness and said, “Stop apologizing. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Mu Zhi took a deep breath before continuing, “It was all my fault.”

“All you have done is normal. It is me who had behaved abnormally.”

Mu Zhi let out another sigh.

She looked at Xie Xiu and said, “You can turn on the light. I was too emotional just now.”

After she had spoken, she went and turned on the light herself.

Instantly, the light shone on Mu Zhi and Xie Xiu.

Mu Zhi looked at Xie Xiu earnestly and said, “I am sorry.”

Xie Xiu was a little puzzled by her apology, so he asked her why.

Mu Zhi gave a deep sigh before answering him, “I am sorry. It is my fault. I have failed my responsibilities as a wife all these years.”

“Honey, let us begin again tomorrow.”

Mu Zhi said those words with some heaviness, but she felt that it was a decision that she had to make.

In her amnesiac state throughout the past five years, she had recognized Xie Xiu as her husband. As her husband, the things he did were normal and within his rights.

It was just that she was still unwell.

Furthermore, she was unable to recover her memories all these years. She felt hopeless.

Since it was hopeless, she decided to give up searching for her memories.

“I am certain that my memories can never be recovered. So, instead of allowing ourselves to be trapped in the past, why don’t we start over?”

“Starting from tomorrow, let us go on dates and rekindle our love.”

Mu Zhi said earnestly.

Xie Xiu looked at her and saw the uncertainty in her eyes. It was the uncertainty about their love.

However, Xie Xiu could also see in her eyes the resolve to rekindle their love. So, he said to her, “That’s fine with me. We shall start rekindling our love tomorrow.”

“It’s decided then. We are going on our first date tomorrow. I will arrange for it.”

After she had spoken, she went to Xie Xiu on her own and hugged him.

She had initiated the hug.

Then she let go of him and said, “Good night.’

“Good night.”

Xie Xiu said but he still looked at her with concern.

After that, he turned around and left. It was only after he had left that Mu Zhi finally felt a sense of relief.

A while ago, she initiated the hug not because she wanted to but because she felt that she should. From then on, she felt that there were many things that she needed to do.

She needed to make herself fall in love with Xie Xiu.

She had to fall in love with him. She must!

She knew the kind of love she desired and hoped to make many memories with him. She thought that if they interacted with each other based on the romance she desired, they would be able to fall in love.

Thinking of these, her sense of guilt diminished a little.

She researched online for steps to fall in love and the activities that a couple could do together.

After completing her research, she had a good night’s sleep.

The next morning, Mu Zhi was dressed casually.
