Chapter 106
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 106 Mu Zhi, Arenât You a Self-degrading Bitch?
Mu Zhi quickly turned around in surprise when she heard Lu Junnianâs voice came behind her.
But Lu Junnian was already on his way to foot the bill with the invoice given by the attendant. She
promptly chased after that but could not keep up with the strides of Lu Junnianâs leg longs. Even the
cashier was quick to serve Lu Junnian because of his captivating looks. Thus⦠In a baffling fashion,
Mu Zhi received a new phone as a gift from Lu Junnian.
âIâll give you the money.â
Mu Zhi looked at Lu Junnian, profoundly embarrassed.
She hurriedly grabbed cash notes, wanting to repay Lu Junnian but he only revealed a faint smile in his
eyes, saying, âItâs a gift, do you think I need the money?â
âNo.â
Mu Zhi explained. She didnât want to accept Lu Junnianâs love, hence her reluctance to receive his
gifts.
However, Lu Junnian leaned towards Mu Zhi with a wide grin, âTake it. Youâll be receiving plenty of gifts
from me in the future. You need to get used to it.â
âNo, thank you, really.â
Mu Zhi took a step backwards to maintain a safe distance with Lu Junnian, âI donât want more gifts from
you.â
Amid their scuffling, Lu Jinye walked toward them from afar. Standing next to him was Linda, who took
on an awkward expression when she saw Mu Zhi and Lu Junnian.
She heard about the gossips from a few days ago.
Despite not seeing the grimness on Lu Jinyeâs face, she could easily visualize it in her mind. Moreover,
there was a brand new phone in her hand, while further away, Mu Zhi and Lu Junnian had a new phone
too!
So, that made it obviousâ¦
Both Lu Jinye and Lu Junnian intended to gift Mu Zhi a phone. But obviously, one of them was ahead
of the other.
Linda was afraid to embarrass Lu Jinye. She was also worried about bringing Mu Zhi unwanted
troubles. So, she uttered, âChairman! Umm, thereâs a client that wants to see you in half an hour, I think
I mightâve forgotten to put it into your schedule. Apologies for overlooking it!â
Linda was the Robin to Mu Zhiâs Batman in the past. Thus, Lu Jinye naturally understood Lindaâs
intention.
He disregarded Linda completely, and headed towards Mu Zhi and Lu Junnian!
Mu Zhi was in the middle of scuffle to refuse Lu Junnianâs phone when she was astonished by Lindaâs
voice, who called out Lu Jinyeâs name.
She was stunned to silence.
Mu Zhiâs movements were obvious, so Lu Junnian could sense them.
Meanwhile, Lu Jinye had never intended to attend to Mu Zhiâs series of demands for a new phone. But
for reasons unknown to himself, after a meeting at the clientâs company, he brought Linda to the nearby
mall to look at phones!
And coincidentally, they ran into two people! The last couple he wished to see!
When he told her to ask from Lu Junnian, he didnât expect her to go to Lu Junnian!
Amid walking towards Mu Zhi, Lu Jinye stretched out his hand, beckoning for Linda to give him the
phone he just bought, and without hesitation, he came before Mu Zhiâs eyes, pried her fingers open,
then delivered the newly-bought iPhone X into her palm.
He gave Lu Junnian a provocative smirk, âShe likes expensive ones.â
Mu Zhi trembled from head to toe when she heard Lu Jinyeâs words.
He breathed his remark into her ear. The flirtatious tone gave her goosebumps all over.
Lu Junnian had the newest iPhone 8 in his hands. Mu Zhi was just casually checking out the iPhone 8.
She had no intention of buying it. Instead, she was planning to buy a cheaper local-made phone before
Lu Junnian surprised her by paying for the phone.
The interception of Lu Jinye escalated the situation even further.
She turned to look at Lu Jinye awkwardly, wanting to refuse his phone, but he did not allow her a
chance to speak at all. Lu Jinye closed into Lu Junnian, and smiled sardonically, âAfter bedding Mu Zhi,
Iâd usually gift her a diamond sports car.â
He was jeering at Lu Junnian for being a cheapskate.
Finishing what he had to say, Lu Jinye disregarded Lu Junnian and Mu Zhi, he turned around and
made his way to the mall exit right away.
Lu Junnian felt his pride greatly insulted!
He reckoned Lu Jinye was boasting and intentionally provoking a reaction. He was subtly bragging
about his relationship with Mu Zhi, showing off the realism of their marriage!
Lu Junnian turned around in exasperation, stomp towards the cashier, saying, âIâll take all of the iPhone
X in this store, thereâs no need to pack them when theyâre paid for, just smash them all!â
âNo no no!â
Mu Zhi was rather upset by Lu Jinyeâs earlier remark.
His words were an insult to her, implying that she was an object. However⦠Lu Junnianâs choice pulled
Mu Zhi back to her rational mind. She hurriedly went up to stop Lu Junnian, and profusely apologized
to the staff members, âSorry, donât worry about it, itâs fine, just a phone is enough.â
Mu Zhi apologized briskly before dragging Lu Junnian out of the store.
But Lu Junnian shook her hands off. His eyes were flooding with coldness as he questioned, âWhat is
it? Not good enough to your appetite?â
After getting demeaned by Lu Jinye, she was now being humiliated by Lu Junnian.
Mu Zhi gritted her teeth, stared at Lu Junnian, drew a deep breath, and bellowed, âLu Junnian, do you
have any idea what youâre talking about? You scumbag!â
âHoho.â
Lu Junnian scoffed, eyeing down at Mu Zhi in anger, âYou said that you still love that man?â
âCalling me a scumbag?! Mu Zhi, arenât you a self-degrading bitch?!â
She would relentlessly refuse his love.
And he wouldnât believe her when she said that she loved Lu Jinye.
He waited until she got a divorce.
Now⦠Lu Jinye had deserted her, announced his marriage with another woman in public, and insulted
her.
Not only did she refuse to accept him, but she also insisted to stand at Lu Jinyeâs side.
It was utter humiliation to him⦠How could the love of his life⦠Be such a self-degrading woman?!
Mu Zhi raised her head, dying to stop her tears from streaming down, returned the newly-bought phone
into Lu Junnianâs hands, and chuckled, âYeah, itâs not new that Iâm self-degrading. You should just stay
away from me. The farther, the merrier!â
â¦
On the other hand, it was afternoon time when Xiao Qingqing had woken up.
The soreness of her body and the excruciating headache from the hangover, as well as the man who
was currently next to her, reminded her that she had a wild night.
She silently glanced at Shen Mobo, who was sound asleep, then got off the bed to put her clothes on,
one after another.
She browsed her phone, eager to have heard from Lu Jinye, but unsurprisingly, there was not a missed
call from him. There was⦠Not even a text message.
The glimmer of hope she had only stemmed from her fantasy.
Shen Mobo woke up just as she had finished dressing herself.
He jumped to his feet, hugged Xiao Qingqing from behind, proclaiming, âI love you.â
