Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 The Contract Game

Mu Zhi looked through the three photos conscientiously. After examining them, she wanted to reply to Lu Jinye. But she realized that her hand was shaking unconsciously when she was about to type on the screen.

She subconsciously withdrew her hand. She hesitated for a moment and instead of sending the words, ‘What’s wrong, honey’, she sent a mere question mark.

However, there was no reply from Lu Jinye.

The waiting game was tough, making Mu Zhi anxious.

After a long while, she finally received a reply from Lu Jinye, ‘I want to go home for dinner tonight.’

‘Okay honey. I will wait for you.’ Mu Zhi replied to Lu Jinye almost instantly.

Then she quickly turned around and gave Mu Xiaomu a kiss, “Mommy has things to do tonight. I will ask madam to take care of you okay?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Mu Xiaomu nodded obediently and asked, “Mama, are you going to work?”

“Yes.”

Mu Zhi nodded and said, “Mommy needs to work hard so I can buy more delicious food for you.”

“Okay. Mommy works hard and I will study hard.”

Xiaomu has always been very supportive of Mu Zhi’s work. Mu Zhi had the faintest idea of how Xiaomu could be so well educated. It seemed that it was all just self-taught.

After making arrangements for Xiaomu, Mu Zhi hurriedly took a cab back to Lu Jinye’s villa. With the vegetables she bought, she made a few homely dishes.

Lu Jinye got home when the food was almost ready.

Mu Zhi helped put away Lu Jinye’s coat when he entered the house. After washing his hands, Lu Jinye was served with a bowl of rice along with the vegetables.

Lu Jinye liked greens more than meat. Knowing his preference, Mu Zhi prepared mainly green dishes.

She thought that she could ask Lu Jinye about the photos after he came back, but she waited a long time for him to even speak a word.

Mu Zhi had no choice but to eat while waiting.

All Lu Jinye did was frowning and eating the eggs with shrimps. Faintly, he said, “This dish tastes good.”

“As long as my honey likes it.”

Mu Zhi said apprehensively.

Lu Jinye took a bite of the kale, without raising his head, he praised, “This kale is delicious as well.”

“As long as my honey likes it.”

Mu Zhi replied again.

When Lu Jinye continued to eat the other dishes, Mu Zhi could not help it anymore. She gulped, “Honey, do you have anything to tell me?”

“Haven’t I been talking to you?”

Lu Jinye asked in reply, the mood in his tone was unclear. Mu Zhi’s heart trembled upon hearing that.

“About my personal matter.”

Mu Zhi went on and said… He sent me those three photos, doesn’t he want to know more?

“I don’t ask about personal matters.”

Lu Jinye spoke again. He then put down the bowls and chopsticks and wiped his mouth gracefully, indicating he was full.

Seeing how calm he was made Mu Zhi even more anxious. She hesitated and then walked towards Lu Jinye. She poured him a glass of water and started explaining herself.

“Honey, about what happened in the hospital today…”

“Don’t agree to meet such an ugly man the next time you go on a blind date.”

Before Mu Zhi could finish her sentence, Lu Jinye spoke abruptly.

“Okay.”

“You should take action first the next time you have a conflict with others. I do not allow anyone to pick on my woman.”

This should be about the conflict between me and Xu Changshu.

Mu Zhi responded quickly, “Will do.”

“Keep your distance from Lu Junnian.”

That last command was given imperatively.

Without hesitation, Mu Zhi answered, “Okay. I will.”

After the deliberation, Mu Zhi could not help but give out a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Lu Jinye turned around and examined Mu Zhi thoroughly. This woman… The closer we are to getting a divorce, the lesser I know about her.

He was curious. He wanted to know more, but he reminded himself to be restraint.

They both knew that their marriage was just a mere contract game.

Lu Jinye had always been a self-disciplined person, and he was also a man who strictly abided by time and rules. So in such circumstance, adjournment was not an option for him.

“Then… Shall we sleep soon honey?”

Mu Zhi glanced at the time, they had been stalemating for quite some time now.

That was all she could say. She had no idea how to continue the conversation with Lu Jinye.

Lu Jinye raised his head and glanced at Mu Zhi. Suddenly, he carried Mu Zhi in his arms and headed towards the bathroom.

Mu Zhi giggled, allowing Lu Jinye to hold her and as they headed to the bathroom. The mist in the bathroom made the atmosphere hazy and dreamy. Lu Jinye’s lips lightly touched Mu Zhi’s while she placed her arms around his neck.

She could feel Lu Jinye’s masculine aura wafting down her body. She could feel his fingers near her erogenous body part.

Mu Zhi closed her eyes gradually. She could not help but moan.

Hearing Mu Zhi’s moan intensified Lu Jinye’s desires. His hands lingered across her smooth skin. Ultimately, he took over her.

Wanting to please him, Mu Zhi became more initiating.

Her body was as soft as cotton, and when wrapped around Lu Jinye’s body, it became even softer and more delicate.

At that very moment, Lu Jinye’s cell phone rang.

Lu Jinye freed up a hand to pick up the phone, but was stopped by Mu Zhi.

Because of the previous experience, she did not want Lu Jinye to answer any call anymore. The last time he did, their conversation was recorded and posted to the web by Lu Yunxi.

This time round, they were actually doing it!

It would be problematic if it were to be Lu Yunxi’s call.

Just when Lu Jinye’s lip was about to leave Mu Zhi’s, she pulled his hand back to her waist and said, “Honey… Don’t pick it up.”

Lu Jinye thought that Mu Zhi wanted more, so he succumbed.

Mu Zhi was too tempting. She seemed to know exactly what he wanted.

The phone rang for a couple more times.

In the end, the light went out.

A name remained on the screen: Xiao Qingqing.
