Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 169

Chapter 169 I Love You, That’s None of Your Business

Zhu Sha looked at Lu Junnian coyly.

The makeup she wore and the dress she put on were simple yet elegant, just like Mu Zhi.

Lu Junnian ended up lifting Zhu Sha off the floor, bringing her upstairs, and gently put her into the bed.

Zhu Sha was the more enthusiastic one between the two.

She passionately clung onto Lu Junnian’s neck and eagerly rubbed herself into him.

There was hesitance in Lu Junnian’s gaze, but it transformed into affection amid Zhu Sha’s zestfulness. While the two were tangled up, Lu Junnian suddenly shouted, “Mu Zhi, I love you.”

Those words stunned Zhu Sha into a brief stiffness. However, Lu Junnian had jammed into her at this point. The mixed feelings of heartache and delight came over her as she shut her eyes and allowed her tears to stream down her cheeks.

Seeing the change in Zhu Sha’s face, Lu Junnian did not relent.

He accelerated all the way and hit the homerun before letting go of Zhu Sha, quietly stood to his feet, and headed to the lounge for a cigarette.

Zhu Sha stayed in bed for a moment before getting up. She slowly pulled on a shirt and followed behind him.

When he saw Zhu Sha, Lu Junnian promptly put out the cigarette in between his fingers and opened the window to air the room.

Then, he said to Zhu Sha casually, “Sorry.”

In response, Zhu Sha smiled lightly, “Sorry for what? I don’t need your apology.”

“Did you know? You also called out Mu Zhi’s name during our first time. You were drunk and shouted her name throughout the entire process.”

“Then, why didn’t you retaliate?”

He stared at Zhu Sha with a frown.

Zhu Sha’s placid smile made him look like a scumbag.

“I don’t care. Throughout all these years of loving you, you’ve never accepted me. I knew long ago that you love Mu Zhi.”

“But I love you, that’s none of your business. All you need to do is to accept my love for you.”

“Isn’t that exactly how you love Mu Zhi?”

At that point, Zhu Sha suddenly stopped talking. She turned around, indolently headed up the stairs, and shut the bedroom door.

Hearing the click of the door closing, Lu Junnian pondered briefly before putting on a coat and headed out.

He got into his car, but had no idea where to go.

He started roaming the town area of City A aimlessly… To break the bleak air in the car, he turned on the radio, listening to the news.

In this instance… The news broadcast was covering the wedding of Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing.

Lu Jinye fled from his wedding!

Did he do it for Mu Zhi?

Lu Junnian’s hands shuddered involuntarily while a car suddenly turned out of the junction, cutting into the road right before his car. He did not manage to dodge the car in time and rammed onto the utility pole by the roadside. In a flash, his forehead was covered in blood and his left arm suffered a fracture.

He barely managed to take out his phone to make an emergency call to the hospital.

…

Meanwhile, after letting Lu Jinye take care of his business, Mu Zhi finally let out a slightly relaxed expression.

It was a massive villa where she and Mu Xiaomu were left alone. She headed up the stairs to take a peek at Mu Xiaomu.

At this moment, Mu Xiaomu was sleeping soundly. A dash of smile could be seen on her fair and delicate face, as though in the middle of a beautiful dream.

Mu Zhi could not help but wear a smile at this sight.

When she turned around to head back downstairs, she was alerted by the buzz of her phone.

She rummaged through her bag for her phone and noticed that Linda used Lu Jinye’s work number to send her a text.

‘The Public Relations Department has taken care of the situation. The social media is currently trending towards positive news regarding Mr. Lu.’

‘Food for thought: a loveless marriage only leads to a never-ending downward spiral. Internet users have shown support for Mr. Lu’s frankness and decisiveness. They think this is a bold display for true

love.’

‘Mr. Lu is currently holding a meeting at the Lu Family’s core business to discuss their development strategy.’

Then, Lu Jinye’s work schedule in the coming days followed in an extensive and detailed list.

As soon as Mu Zhi had finished reading the messages, Linda’s call came in.

“Linda, what is it?”

“Have you received the chairman’s arrangements?”

“Yes, I have, what happened?”

Mu Zhi could not comprehend why Lu Jinye would ask Linda to send her the messages.

In response, Linda giggled softly and said enviously, “Mr. Lu is afraid that you’d be worried. So, he wants to report his schedule to you. I’ve never seen him being so considerate for another woman before.”

“Oh right, Mr. Lu wants to know how is Xiaomu doing now.”

“Xiaomu is still asleep.”

Upon receiving Mu Zhi’s reply, Linda swiftly updated Lu Jinye.

Lu Jinye was in a middle of a tense meeting. Despite his unwavering leadership skills, the business had sustained a sizable impact. After all… A business field was comparable to a war zone. There was no friendship or affection. Everything revolved around pecuniary interests.

However, when Linda informed him that Xiaomu was still asleep, a dash of relief surfaced in the apathetic air that was clinging onto him.

He told Linda to get back to work, then carried on with his meeting. Linda then went back to see to the rest of her tasks.

Despite her disinterested front over the call with Linda, Mu Zhi could feel a tinge of delight come over her, knowing that Lu Jinye cared about her and Mu Xiaomu’s whereabouts.

Not long after, Mu Xiaomu woke up from her pleasant dreams.

Cracking her groggy eyes open, she was greeted with Mu Zhi, and a dazzling smile formed on her face.

She buried herself into Mu Zhi’s embrace, and said, “Mama, I dreamed of papa.”

Mu Zhi let out a tender smile, “What about papa?”

“Papa Jinye brought me and mama to the theme park.”

Mu Zhi hesitated. She did not know if she should tell Mu Xiaomu that Lu Jinye was indeed her father.

Through the conversation with Lu Jinye, she had pieced together the information and surmised that they had a one-night stand all those years ago. Thus, Mu Xiaomu was Lu Jinye’s daughter.

At that thought, Mu Zhi had decided to let Mu Xiaomu know.

She looked at Mu Xiaomu and said, “This is not a dream, Lu Jinye is truly Xiaomu’s daddy. We can go to the park when we get the chance.”

Mu Xiaomu was exhilarated when she heard that.

“Mama, did I win papa over? Did I? Did I?”

Listening to the word ‘win’ and paired with Mu Xiaomu’s missing earlier that day, Mu Zhi suddenly felt the urge to break down into tears.

She felt that she had let Mu Xiaomu down.

She had not been courageous enough to pursue what she deserved, resulting a void in Mu Xiaomu’s upbringing.

Amid immersing in sorrow, the sound of the doorbell probed her back to her senses.

Standing by the door was Lu Yunxi.

Mu Zhi answered the door in confusion, while Lu Yunxi wore a radiant smile, “Zhi, I heard you have a child with Jinye, Master Lu cannot wait to see her.”

“Huh?”

What’s happening?

Mu Zhi’s heart skipped a beat.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
