Chapter 249
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 249 What Has Lu Jinye Been Preparing Behind Her Back
At the Luâs Manor.
The dazzling moonbeam was phenomenal. The entire manor could be out of power, and it wouldnât
lose a dash of its glamor under the illumination of the moon.
Master Lu stood by the window to gaze at the magnificent sky. He heaved a deep sigh.
After some moment, he ordered the butler, âLook into Mu Xueâs background in the recent years at
once!â
He started coughing violently as a result of being too anxious when he spoke.
The butler scrambled to come next to Master Lu, and told Madam Liu to pour him a glass of water.
After Master Lu drank the water, the butler started making his way out, saying, âYes, sir.â
Master Lu roared, âHurry up! Do it immediately!â
âGot it.â
The butler did not dare slight Master Lu. He burst out of the room.
Meanwhile, a smile surfaced on Madam Liuâs face as she left masterâs room.
She too gazed at the splendid moon in the sky.
It was a humongous, round moon. Every time she saw a bright moon, Madam Liu would be reminded
of the night when a woman knocked on her door, telling her, âMadam Liu, I canât do it, I donât want to
live anymore.â
As the words echoed in her head, Madam Liu scurried away.
Donât be too anxious, young lady.
It will be over very soon. Someone is coming to keep you accompanied.
There are some things I canât manage, but karma will right the wrong.
At that thought, Madam Liu started picking up her pace involuntarily as she went back to her bedroom.
On the other hand, Mu Zhi intended to walk by herself when they had returned home.
But Lu Jinye had circled the car to wait for her at the door before she managed to step off the car. He
leaned in to carry her off the seat, then walked towards the house. Mu Zhi was startled briefly.
âLu Jinye.â She called out his name softly. âWhat are you doing?â
âArenât you clear at this point?â
It was evident that Lu Jinyeâs gaze was different from usual when he looked at Mu Zhi. But Mu Zhi
stared at him in confusion.
âWe have three days before we get married.â
Lu Jinye added as he locked eyes with Mu Zhi.
âYeah.â
That was true. Mu Zhi knew it by heart.
âSo you should cherish this night.â Uttered Lu Jinye.
But those words baffled Mu Zhi. What should I cherish again?
She looked at Lu Jinye, just as confused. âIs there anything special about tonight?â
It was neither their past wedding anniversary nor was it a special occasion.
Mu Zhi was certain that Lu Jinye was never bothered about any anniversary at all. Thus, what was the
occasion?
âFrom tomorrow night onwards, we canât see each other anymore. The bride and groom are not
supposed to see each other two nights leading up to the wedding.â
âOh, Iâm aware of that.â
They planned to hold their wedding the old-fashion way. Hence, she had studied all the necessary
traditional customs.
Mu Zhi answered Lu Jinye spontaneously.
Once they were indoors, Lu Jinye did not put Mu Zhi on the couch, nor did he bring her to the bedroom.
Instead, he headed straight for the bathroom.
Mu Zhi froze all over as she watched Lu Jinye open the bathroom door care-freely. He stepped into the
bathroom with her in his arms. âLu Jinye! What are you doing?â
âDear, youâve asked me once.â
Lu Jinye breathed onto Mu Zhiâs face. She could feel Lu Jinyeâs steady heartbeat.
His words combined with the surrounding atmosphere told her that Lu Jinye was planning something in
his head.
âAre you showering alone, or do we do it as a pair?â
The way he asked it was hair-standing.
Mu Zhi blushed to the roots of her hair.
The pinkness on her cheeks was a perfect match to her fair skin complexion.
She shoved Lu Jinye. âGet out, I can do it myself.â
It was the first time Mu Zhi displayed such shyness.
And she was surprised by her reaction too.
âForget about it, while youâre hesitating, Iâve already made the decision. Iâm joining you.â
Upon finishing what he had to say, Lu Jinye pressed his lips against Mu Zhiâs.
Mu Zhi was struck dumb as she could feel his rapid panting.
She only took two seconds to ponder. Lu Jinye might have been a little too forceful with his poor
excusesâ¦
But, the touch of his lips instantly mollified all desire of retaliation.
They knew their ways around each otherâs bodies.
Lu Jinye enveloped Mu Zhiâs petite figure in his warmth as the two of them closed into each other.
What rational thoughts Mu Zhi had had vanished into the ether.
Lu Jinye placed Mu Zhi into the bathtub and slowly dove into the cave.
Suddenly, Mu Zhi held Lu Jinye back with both palms. She cracked her dazed eyes open only to see
Lu Jinyeâs insatiable gaze.
She mumbled, âHoney, we need protection, I⦠Iâm not on my safe period.â
Lu Jinye disregarded every word that left her lips. He advanced deeper into the abyss.
âWeâre getting married, and I think Xiaomu needs a little brother.â
He was too straight forward with his words. Mu Zhiâs pinkness quickly escalated into crimson red. She
could not resist going along with Lu Jinyeâs rhythm.
In the warm bath, the two of them cuddled aggressively.
And the vigor felt like it lasted through the night.
Lu Jinyeâs phone was unremittingly buzzing on the floor, but he could not bother reaching out to answer
it until both he and Mu Zhi had liberated themselves.
Mu Zhi felt like her body was floating in the air.
While Lu Jinye stepped out of the bath to retrieve his phone, he looked at the unknown number on the
phone with a scowl. He never returned calls on unknown numbers.
Thus, he left the phone aside and headed into the study room to plunge into his work documents
zestfully.
At this moment, he received an email about the honeymoon trip.
Lu Jinye chose to keep the trip a secret from Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi used to keep a diary. She was in middle school at the time as she jotted down several places
she dreamed of traveling to like a typical teenager.
After vigorously researching into Mu Zhi, Lu Jinye found this diary of hers from her peers back in the
days and decided to make her dream come true.
The following day.
Mu Zhi had just arrived at the agency when she received loads of documents about the livestream of
her glamorous wedding.
She could not help but stun at the lists of livestreaming platforms and media outlets who were expected
to be present at the wedding.
âIs everyone on here coming?â
âWe are showcasing your wedding to the world!â
Director Yiwen exclaimed patiently.
Mu Zhi was flabbergasted, âWhat is this about?â
âYour wedding has become a global event. I canât tell you the particulars. But all I know is that you will
receive plenty of surprises on the day.â
Mu Zhi gawked at Director Yiwen with her jaw dropped.
She thought it would be like any other wedding, where there would be a simple church ceremony.
But, what has Lu Jinye been preparing behind her back?
