Chapter 889 - Be More Confident of Yourself (1/2)

Lu Zihao's expression turned vicious. ”Like he'll we'll break up! Not until our 30 days are over! Did I cheat on you?”

”N-no,” Long Jinjing whispered.

”Then you have no grounds to break up with me!”

”But you lied to me! I can't be in a relationship with someone I can't trust to tell me the truth! Nikolai, I'm sorry but I can't do that. I just can't!”

He ground his teeth hard, causing his jaw to stiffen. His nostrils flared and a vein throbbed in his forehead. Then he let out a string of explicit curses.

”I told you I didn't lie,” he repeated.

Long Jinjing had the strongest urge to kick him. She already knew that he was a very stubborn man but not to the point that he would keep on insisting that a clear lie was the truth. What was the problem of just admitting that he lied? Was it that difficult for him?

She didn't mind the fact that he had girlfriends before. That wasn't it. In fact, she thought that it was unbelievable that he had never been in a relationship before and he claimed that she would be his first girlfriend. However, she believed him when he explained that he had several women before as bedmates but not girlfriends. It turned out that he lied. Even Grandpa Lu knew that he had real girlfriends before.

In all honesty, the situation didn't need to cause such a serious and emotional reaction from her. There was no harm done after all. They could just brush it off and continue playing their roles in their 30-day relationship.

However, Long Jinjing felt hurt. All kinds of thoughts started muddling her mind and overcomplicating her emotions. Her main issue was that he lied to her. It didn't matter if it was a big or small lie. She didn't want to be in a relationship with a liar. She just couldn't!

Lu Zihao released a long, frustrated sigh. He let go of the blanket and rubbed his face roughly with both hands. Since he was no longer holding on to the blanket, it loosened a bit. She tried disentangling herself but to no avail. Her embarrassing clumsiness was magnified due to her agitated state. Like him, she also released a long, frustrated sigh at being unable to free herself from the annoying blanket.

”Jinjing, listen to me,” he finally said.

She couldn't look at him directly in the eye so she fixed her gaze on his strong, chiseled chin instead.

Then he told her what he and Grandpa Lu talked about earlier when she was busy heating up his dinner in the kitchen. After his explanation, her agitated expression turned to worry.

”What?! Selective amnesia!”

She tried reaching out to him but almost stumbled instead because of the annoying blanket wrapped around her entire body like a mummy. He caught her and used that chance to secure her in his arms, trapping her once again. However, she didn't notice because she was worried about his health.

”Nikolai, your grandpa is right. We need to have a doctor examine you! You didn't even know that you have amnesia. What if you've forgotten other things but haven't noticed it yet? This is serious. Please, Nikolai. Let's go to the doctor, okay?”

He scowled. ”No need.”

”But—”

”I'm fine.”

Yes, she wanted to kick this man. How stubborn and frustrating! But at the same time, she was beginning to feel bad about her overreaction. So he really didn't lie to her. He had selective amnesia just like what her younger sister experienced after her car accident.
