Chapter 63
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 63 Are You Accusing Me of Sleeping With Lu Jinye?!
Lu Jinye threw his gaze at them and sensed a dash of resentment.
It seemed like he was overly anxious. There was no need for his concern for her crash, because⦠She
did not lack men.
Despite having divorced and understanding that there was no love in their marriage, Lu Jinye could not
ignore the dejection currently building up within him.
He pivoted around and returned to his car.
But before he managed to step into his car, he felt his shin being hugged by a small figure.
Lowering his head, he found a little girlâs watery eyes staring back at him, âMister, long time no see, I
miss you.â
The eyes belonged to Mu Xiaomu.
Lu Jinyeâs scrunched brows evened out instantly.
Mu Xiaomu came with Jian Xiaoning to visit Mu Zhi. When they arrived at the scene, Mu Xiaomu said
she was thirsty, so Jian Xiaoning returned to the car to retrieve her water bottle. In the end! Within
seconds! Mu Xiaomu had gone missing.
When Jian Xiaoning found Mu Xiaomu, the little girl was hugging Lu Jinyeâs leg!
She almost slumped to the ground at the sight. Out of instincts, she made a dash to Mu Xiaomu and
scooped her off the ground.
âWhat are you doing? How many times has mom told you not to pester strange men?â
Jian Xiaoning gave Lu Jinye an awkward smile, âSorry, the girl seems to be attracted to handsome
men, sheâs rather infatuated.â
However, Mu Xiaomu had never once pestered other handsome men. Lu Jinye was the first.
Lu Jinye glanced at Jian Xiaoning nonchalantly, nodded, and got into his car.
Mu Xiaomu thought about chasing after him, but she was clutched in Jian Xiaoningâs embrace.
Unfortunatelyâ¦
All she could do was gazing at Lu Jinyeâs taillights disappearing into the traffic, holding her resentful
urge to cry.
Meanwhile, Jian Xiaoning had to switch Mu Xiaomuâs attention, âDidnât you say you want water? Here,
take a sip and we will go look for mommy.â
Jian Xiaoning felt helpless too. It was simply natural for Mu Xiaomu to be attracted to Lu Jinye. What a
troublesome kid Mu Zhi had.
Mu Xiaomu received the bottle from Jian Xiaoning and took a sip.
But her eyes were fixed at the direction Lu Jinye had disappeared into.
Helplessly, Jian Xiaoning continued to coax, âFine, weâre going to see mommy soon, letâs go find
mommy, ok?â
At the mention of Mu Zhi, Mu Xiaomuâs dejected spirits quickly vanished. She clapped her hands
jovially, âYay, sure, letâs go see mama.â
Jian Xiaoning carried Mu Xiaomu in her arms, turned around, and⦠Found Mu Zhi not far away!
Standing next to her was⦠Lu Junnian.
ââ¦â
Jian Xiaoning was left with no word. Under the circumstances, she must not bring Mu Xiaomu over.
However! She had just stopped Mu Xiaomu from seeing Lu Jinye. She felt like a conscienceless witch
to stand in between Mu Xiaomu and Mu Zhi.
âLetâs go to the car and call mama to come to pick us up, alright?â
Jian Xiaoning enticed Mu Xiaomu patiently while making all efforts to block Mu Zhi from her line of
sight.
Luckily, Mu Xiaomu was obedient. She followed Jian Xiaoning into the car.
Also, luckily⦠Mu Zhi and Lu Junnian were busy pinpointing the photoâs angle. They did not notice Jian
Xiaoning and Mu Xiaomuâs presence at all.
After a vigorous search, Mu Zhi finally found the angle that matched the one from the photograph. She
could not help but crouch, scanning the area in hopes to find some clues.
Suddenly, a keychain came within her line of sight.
She was on the verge on cheering jovially when her phone rang. The call was from Jian Xiaoning.
She took a glance at the screen and quickly answered, âHello? Whatâs up?â
âQuickly draw Lu Junnian away, Mu Xiaomu and I are here!â
Mu Zhi held her phone by her ear as she subconsciously raised her head to scan the area.
True enough! She caught a glimpse of Jian Xiaoningâs car at the car park not far away.
Turning her eyes back to Lu Junnian, she said, âMy friendâs here, I need to go home.â
âLet me see you off.â
Lu Junnian stared at Mu Zhi intending to follow behind her.
âNah, Iâm good.â
Mu Zhi instantaneously switched back to her listless front, making her a completely different person
than moments ago.
Lu Junnian was puzzled, but he did not press on. He asked, âWhoâs your friend? Jian Xiaoning?â
While talking, he threw his gaze in Mu Zhiâs direction curiously.
The hospitalâs car park was relatively empty. There were only a few cars around.
Very quickly, Lu Junnian managed to identify that one car.
âEven if itâs Jian Xiaoning, thereâs no need to greet her.â
Mu Zhi quickly cut him off and prevented him from finishing his words.
Lu Junnian stared at Mu Zhi, slightly baffled, but nodded in the end, âFine, as long as youâre happy.â
After finishing what he had to say, he immediately headed towards the hospital.
Mu Zhi ascertained that Lu Junnian had gone completely out of sight before turning around and headed
to Jian Xiaoningâs car. She tapped on her car window. The car was promptly unlocked, and she hopped
in.
In the car, Mu Xiaomu was silently munching on the potato chips Jian Xiaoning gave her.
As soon as Mu Zhi clicked the door close, Jian Xiaoning heaved a sigh, âSigh! Life is too tough!â
âWhat happened?â
Mu Zhi fastened her seatbelt as she asked Jian Xiaoning.
Jian Xiaoning heaved another sigh, âCan you feel that Mu Xiaomu and Lu Jinye are naturally close to
each other?â
Mu Zhi stared at Jian Xiaoning with a frown.
âDid she run into Lu Jinye again?â
That was the first thought that came to her mind.
Jian Xiaoning responded with a helpless nod along with another lamenting sigh.
While Mu Zhi wound down the car window, scanning the surrounding area cautiously.
âEnough, stop looking, I guess your Lu Jinye must have spotted your ambiguous interactions with Lu
Junnian, so he left.â
Mu Zhi pouted her lips, âHe is not mine. Weâve divorced.â
Despite knowing that Lu Jinye had left, Mu Zhi continued to run her gaze around the area to find Lu
Jinyeâs figure.
It was done subconsciously.
Lu Jinye came to her⦠Did that mean he was aware of her accident?
Was that a display of care?
At that thought, Mu Zhi started shaking her head without realizing it.
Please, what am I thinking?
âHave you ever thought that Lu Jinye might have been Mu Xiaomuâs father? And Mu Xiaomu is Lu
Jinyeâs daughter?â
While Mu Zhi was putting all her efforts to brush off the nonsense in her mind, Jian Xiaoning suddenly
uttered some garbage.
If Mu Zhi had water in her mouth, she would have sprayed it all over the car!
With her eyes at Jian Xiaoning, Mu Zhi said, âLu Jinyeâs daughter? Are you accusing me of sleeping
with Lu Jinye in the past?â
Jian Xiaoning was exceptionally calm. She looked at Mu Zhi with a stern face and concluded, âI think
thatâs not impossible.â
