Chapter 78
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 78 Lu Jinye Is Mu Xiaomuâs Father!
Lu Jinye got out of the car despite not understanding what Liang Jieyi had said.
Mu Zhi was busy thanking Liang Yunzhan and had not noticed what Liang Jieyi was up to.
After Liang Jieyi got Lu Jinye out of the car, he turned and yelled at Mu Xiaomu, âMu Xiaomu, come
here!â
Mu Xiaomu eyes opened wide as she stared at Liang Jieyi. She hesitated, before quickly with little
steps she made her way towards Liang Jieyi.
When she spoke, it was with the stubborn pride of a young girl, âWhatâs up, Liang Jieyi? Why are you
looking for me?â
Liang Jieyiâs expression was nonchalant as he pointed at Mu Xiaomuâs hand, saying, âGo hold Mr. Lu
Jinyeâs hand.â
Mu Xiaomu raised her little face upwards and when she saw Lu Jinye, a large smile blossomed on her
face.
No matter what Liang Jieyiâs intentions were, Mu Xiaomu didnât hate the idea. She promptly went up to
Lu Jinye and grabbed his hand, saying, âMister.â
It was at this moment when Mu Zhi noticed Mu Xiaomuâs disappearance.
She hastily ended the conversation with Liang Yunzhan to look for Mu Xiaomu. She turned only to see
that somehow, Mu Xiaomu and Lu Jinye were holding hands.
She was too shocked to care about anything else and quickly headed in Lu Jinyeâs direction.
But it was too late⦠Because Liang Jieyi suddenly turned to the direction of the kindergarten entrance
and yelled, âFrom today onwards, Mu Xiaomu has a father! Remember it well because Mu Xiaomuâs
father is Lu Jinye!â
â!!!â
When Mu Zhi heard this, no words could explain how she felt except several exclamation marks. And
three were far from enough.
Her eyes were wide as she watched Mu Xiaomu and Lu Jinye from afar. Liang Jieyi words ran through
her mind and suddenly she did not want to take another step.
However, things did not end there. Mu Xiaomu followed what Liang Jieyi said with a loud snort. She
then yelled at her kindergarten peers, âHumph! I have a papa now! My papa is called⦠Called⦠Lu
Jinye!â
As Mu Zhi was a long way away, she could not tell what Lu Jinyeâs expression was like.
These two children⦠Were flirting with death!
Liang Yunzhan, on the order hand, was as calm as always. He slowly walked to Mu Zhiâs side and
comforted, âChildren⦠My boy can sometimes be⦠A little strangeâ¦â
âHe is pretty strange.â
Mu Zhi did not know how else to respond.
She also did not dare stand there any longer.
Mu Zhi was deathly afraid that if she just stood there, something more catastrophic might happen.
Mu Zhi rushed over and made Mu Xiaomu let go of Lu Jinyeâs hand. She said, âCome now, let go of Mr.
Jinye.â
She didnât dare look at Lu Jinye. She could not near knowing what sort of expression he had on his
face, otherwise she might just collapse.
However, Mu Xiaomu would not let go of Lu Jinyeâs hand, saying, âNo. I have a papa now. I want to
hold hands with papa.â
âThatâs right. Come, Xiaomu. Get on the car. Weâre going to dinner.â
ââ¦â
Mu Zhi was on the verge of breakdown.
She thought that now, she didnât even need to look at Lu Jinye for her mind to collapse.
However, Lu Jinye was still holding Mu Xiaomuâs hand. He had no intention of letting her go.
âLetâs go together. I can tell that Jieyi likes playing with Xiaomu.â
âWe have other plans.â
Mu Zhi awkwardly came forwards and pulled at Mu Xiaomu, but Mu Xiaomu was being stubborn.
And Liang Jieyi who was next to them was adding fuel to fire, âLetâs go Xiaomu. Are you following my
dadâs car or your dadâs?â
âIâm going with my dad.â
Mu Xiaomu proudly responded.
Mu Zhi could no longer describe how she was feeling. If she could, she would go back in time and
chosen not to give birth to Mu Xiaomu.
This⦠Was too awkward⦠It was⦠Headache-inducing.
âThen letâs both go with your dad!â
Liang Jieyi grabbed onto Mu Xiaomuâs free hand and pulled her towards Lu Jinyeâs car.
Today, Lu Jinye drove his sports car.
And could not seat that many people.
Liang Jieyi led Mu Xiaomu to the car only to realize that and said, âOh no! Your dadâs car doesnât have
as many seats as my dadâs. Letâs go with my dad.â
âSure!â
Mu Xiaomu immediately agreed and followed Liang Jieyi.
Mu Zhi felt like she was being swept up in all thisâ¦
She could not even control her own daughter.
âGet into my car.â
Lu Jinye pointed at his car. He promptly turned and entered his car.
Mu Zhi was stunned. Next to her, Liang Yunzhan was insisting on her coming to Liang Jieyiâs birthday
party. She could no longer refuse them.
In any case, she couldnât be a self-centered mother and drag Mu Xiaomu from the car.
Besides, Liang Yunzhan drove away as soon as he had invited herâ¦
Mu Zhi had no choice but to get on Lu Jinyeâs car.
She felt so out of place in Lu Jinyeâs car. At any rate, an explanation was needed, to prevent any
misunderstandings.
âAbout that⦠Mu Xiaomu is⦠Today, Jian Xiaoning couldnât make it, so I came instead⦠I didnât know
this would happenâ¦â
âI was going to bring her out to dinner⦠And thisâ¦â
âYou never talk like this.â
Lu Jinye said. He drove without once turning to look at Mu Zhi.
Lu Jinyeâs words reminded Mu Zhi to regain her composure. âThat was because I was caught off guard.
Thank you for helping Mu Xiaomu out just now. Iâll thank you on behalf of Jian Xiaoning.â
âYou protest too much. If you carry on like that, I might think that Mu Xiaomu is yours.â
Lu Jinye said.
While he did not truly understand Mu Zhi, he could tell that something was off.
âNo. No⦠Iâll call Xiaoning right now and have her come pick up Xiaomu.â
Mu Zhi hastily called Jian Xiaoning.
Lu Jinye did not respond. He just focused on following Liang Yunzhanâs car to the birthday party venue.
âXiaoning!â Mu Zhi said when Jian Xiaoning picked up. She did not wait for Jian Xiaoningâs greeting.
Again, not waiting for a response, she followed with, âWe bumped into Liang Jieyiâs father when I was
picking up Xiaomu. They invited Xiaomu and I to Liang Jieyiâs birthday party. Do you want to come?
Coincidentally, my ex-husband is going as well. Didnât you say that you wanted to meet him? Nowâs a
good time.â
Jian Xiaoning understood what Mu Zhi meant by what she said.
She immediately replied, âSure. Send me the address. Iâll come over as soon as Iâm done with work.â
Whereas, Lu Jinye, who was driving, frowned even harder.
Did⦠Mu Zhi call him her ex-husband?
He was extremely uncomfortable with the title!
Lu Jinye accelerated.
Mu Zhi could feel that Lu Jinye was clearly unhappy. She turned and looked at Lu Jinye⦠Why was he
suddenly so upset?
