120 Chapter 120 sharing a car

"What should we do? We need the gas station to deliver the diesel," Dongfang Yu said as he got out of the car to make a call. Mu Ru guessed that he was calling the gas station.

Dongfang Yu was talking on the phone for about three minutes. He then opened the door. Mu Ru thought that he wanted her to get out, so she moved and prepared to get out of the car.

However, Dongfang Yu quickly got in and squeezed himself into the back seat with her. Mu Ru was shocked. She moved to the other end of the seat and frowned at him. She felt nervous, and she asked, "Why are you sitting here?"

"I just want to sit," Dongfang Yu said in a low voice. He stared at her mockingly. With a bang, he closed the door and squeezed towards her.

"What do you want?" Mu Ru became even more nervous. Her body was already pressed against the car door. Panicking, she reached out to push the car door open, but in an instant, she realized that the car door was locked.

"What do you think?" Dongfang Yu found Mu Ru's nervous expression amusing. He only wanted to get into the car to sit with her. After all, it would take more than half an hour for the diesel to arrive. It was boring to stand outside.

Mu Ru, however, was behaving like a mouse that was being chased by a cat. He found it amusing, and he couldn't help but squeeze closer to her.

"Don't come closer!" Mu Ru shrieked. She stared at Dongfang Yu's head and turned it out of the window, but because she was too quick, she bumped into the car window instead.

"Ouch." She let out a low cry.

"What's wrong? Did you hurt yourself?" Dongfang Yu quickly asked. Feeling concerned, he stopped moving closing towards her and stared at her.

"I'm fine," Mu Ru replied indifferently. She raised her hand to touch the scar where she had been stitched up. It had not yet fully healed, and it was still quite painful to touch.

As she touched the scar, she winced in pain and puckered her lips. She looked a little angry. Her demeanor seemed far from her usually indifferent self, but it was more like her playful nineteen-year-old self.

Dongfang Yu found himself attracted to Mu Ru's small gestures. Mu Ru had always given him the impression that she had an indifferent outlook towards everything that was happening to her. It was probably her way of enduring the humiliation. She had a tough but overly mature and rational heart that was beyond her years.

He had only seen Mu Ru's feminine side when she was captured and drugged by Nangong Xun. He had always seen her as cold and indifferent. She seemed to always wear a mask. She remained indifferent even in the most troublesome times, whether someone was scolding or hitting her. He felt like she had always been able to endure hardships more maturely than other people he knew.

He knew that Mu Ru had turned out that way because of the way she was treated growing up. She could have learned to accept that being lowly was her fate. He wasn't very surprised when Mu Ru simply accepted being Mu Xue's servant, even though it was quite unfair for her to play such a role.

He watched her closely and only then realized that she was a timid, attractive woman. He felt his heart beat fast. He felt an unfamiliar feeling creep into his mind and heart, and it was controlling him.

"Mu Ru, come here!" he called her softly. His deep and hoarse voice trembled as he called out to her.
