Chapter 145
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 145 It Was Papa Jinye Who Brought Me Here
Lu Jinye slightly raised an eyebrow to pair with his unemotional stare. The apathetic temperament he
radiated felt like cold frost.
The clamoring surrounding instantly reduced to silence, while Liang Yunzhan composedly lifted his
phone, and accepted the call, greeting gently, âHello?â
Mu Zhiâs apologetic voice came from the phone, âMr. Liang, so sorry for calling this early, I hope I didnât
interrupt your sleep. Iâm just wondering if Mu Xiaomu has been behaving. Iâd like to let you know that I
have settled down here, I can return to pick her up now.â
On top of the word Liang Yunzhanâs âhelloâ, the flurry of words that followed after were heard by Lu
Jinye. The moment he heard Mu Zhiâs voice, he spontaneously reached out a finger to put the phone
on speaker.
Liang Yunzhan was not bothered. He listened to what Mu Zhi had to say insouciantly, and then turned
his gaze to Lu Jinye, as though waiting for a response.
Meanwhile, Lu Jinye threw his arrogant gaze into the far distance, pretending like he did not hear a
word Mu Zhi said.
âMu Xiaomu is doing great over here. Sheâs willing to learn with Jieyi.â
Liang Yunzhan replied casually.
âThen let me have a look at the flight tickets, Iâll try my best to go back today for Xiaomu.â
Mu Zhi said to Liang Yunzhan, relieved that Mu Xiaomu had not been causing trouble.
In the end, an impetuous voice sounded out of the blue, âHey Zhi, where are you now? Why do you
have to check the flight tickets?â
The voice belonged to Lu Yunxi.
Lu Jinye and the gang were just heading out of the clubhouse when the call came in. They were
standing at the entrance of the clubhouse, answering the call, while Lu Yunxi had just woken up from
his sleep, readying to party at another spot after breakfast.
He saw Lu Jinye from afar, hence naturally he could hear Mu Zhiâs voice too.
Hurriedly running up to Liang Yunzhan, he bowed his head slightly before seizing the phone off Liang
Yunzhanâs hand.
Lu Yunxi then put on an exceptionally jovial expression, âZhi, you donât have to go out of the way to fly
back here. Coincidentally, Iâll be going to Washington today, let me bring the little girl over. You donât
have to thank me, considering youâre my sister-in-law, the decision is made. Iâll call you when I get
there.â
Mu Zhi was put in a tranceâ¦
Lu Yunxi barged into the call out of nowhere astonishingly, and then arranged for Mu Zhi, making itâ¦
Difficult to process and accept!
Mu Zhi tried to stop Lu Yunxi, but he told her that she didnât have to thank him and hung up the call
right away.
Alas, Mu Zhi felt like her brain cells had been randomized.
Why is Lu Yunxi there? Where is Liang Yunzhan?!
Luckily⦠It is Lu Yunxi and not Lu Jinye. Otherwise, the situation would have been more troublesome.
Mu Zhi comforted herself, feeling a little glad.
On the other end of the phone, after hanging up the call, Lu Yunxi peered at Lu Jinye playfully, then
diverted his gaze towards Liang Yunzhan, who was standing at the side, âWhereâs the girl? Iâll pick her
up in the afternoon.â
Liang Yunzhan had heard the whole exchange between Lu Yunxi and Mu Zhi. Thus, he could not help
but oblige.
Upon deciding the time and venue to pick up Mu Xiaomu in the afternoon, Lu Yunxi leftâ¦
â¦
At three in the afternoon.
Lu Yunxi arrived at Liang Yunzhanâs mount chateau in a timely fashion. He saw Mu Xiaomu and
ushered her into the car.
While Mu Xiaomu was staring at Lu Yunxi in hesitation, another car came up behind her. Stepping off
the car was Lu Jinyeâs secretary, Linda.
She approached Mu Xiaomu with a gentle and sprightly expression, and said to her, âMr. Lu Jinye
needs to go on a business trip. Would you like him to bring you to your mommy?â
When she heard Lu Jinyeâs name, Mu Xiaomuâs eyes were instantly dazzling with excitement!
She walked up to her with her chunky little legs, saying, âSure, where is mister?â
Linda pointed at the MPV behind her, while Mu Xiaomu scurried towards the car. Mu Xiaomu
addressed Lu Jinye as âmisterâ before the crowd, but as soon as she saw Lu Jinyeâs face, she called
out, âPapa.â
Her word stunned Lu Yunxi, who was left in desolation behind her.
Lu Jinye did not acknowledge Lu Yunxiâs presence. All he did was stretch out his long, slender arm and
grabbed Mu Xiaomu, putting her in his embrace, closed the door, and took off when Linda got into the
car.
The series of actions occurred too quickly. When Lu Yunxi forced himself to blink a couple of times,
bringing him back to his senses, the car had whipped up a cloud of dust. Lu Yunxi hurriedly chased
after it, shouting, âLu Jinye, what are you doing?!â
In the end, all he could see was the carâs taillights zooming awayâ¦
âAlright, thatâs enough, it seems like your reverse psychology worked.â Liang Yunzhan wore his usual
tender smile as he said to Lu Yunxi.
Lu Yunxi glanced at Liang Yunzhan, frowning childishly as he asked, âIs it that obvious? How did you
tell?â
Liang Yunzhan just smiled in response.
After being informed by Lu Yunxi of the flight number, Mu Zhi rushed to the airport to wait for his arrival.
However, Lu Yunxi was nowhere to be found. When she finally saw Mu Xiaomu, she realized that Mu
Xiaomu came alone!!
Mu Zhi was dumbfounded. She lowered her head to look down at Xiaomu, âXiaomu, did you come
alone?â
Lu Yunxi, you unreliable bastard.
âIt was papa who brought me here.â
Mu Xiaomuâs face was overwhelmed with contentment while explaining solemnly.
Hearing what she had to say, Mu Zhi subconsciously scanned the area, but she could not find any
traces of Lu Jinye.
âWhereâs Lu Jinye then?â
âMama, would you like to see papa?â
Mu Xiaomu avoided her question and answered with another question.
Mu Zhi was starting to be suspicious.
She looked at Mu Xiaomu, then scanned the area once again to ascertain that Lu Jinye was not around
before carrying Mu Xiaomu off the floor, âDonât ever call that man papa again, and youâre not allowed to
ask mommy such question in the future. Mommy doesnât want to talk about it.â
With Mu Xiaomu in her arms, she made her way to the airport exit.
But Mu Xiaomu kept gazing at the back, saying, âMama, why donât you wait for papa? Papa is right
behind us.â
Mu Zhi did not turn back. She could vividly remember what happened between him. Despite being
overseas, Mu Zhi had seen numerous scandalous news related to Lu Jinye recently. How could Lu
Jinye bring Mu Xiaomu right now?
Perhaps Mu Xiaomu had confused herself between Lu Yunxi and Lu Jinye.
Or it might be Lu Yunxi who sent Mu Xiaomu here, then mischievously told Mu Xiaomu to lie that it was
Lu Jinye who did!
In any case, the unlikeliest possibility was Lu Jinye.
Meanwhile, Lu Jinye waited until Mu Zhi and Mu Xiaomu had left the airport before sweeping around
and left listlessly!
He must be out of his mind!
What am I doing here?!
Why would I bring Mu Xiaomu here?!
