Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 17


    Chapter 17 An Awkward Rtionship


    Inside the car, Mu Zhi was blushing from her own cries.


    She raised her head and looked up at Lu Jinye. His eyes were cold, hinting spite.


    His hand slid across Mu Zhi’s skin. Mu Zhi closed her eyes and groaned through her teeth.


    Lu Junnian could not help but increase his pace as he heard moans after moans.


    This was clearly a deration of war!


    His fists were clenched tightly, and his veins swelled.


    However, before Lu Junnian could get to Lu Jinye’s car… Lu Jinye turned over the engine and left.


    Leaving Lu Junnian no chance at all.


    Along with the roar of Lu Jinye’s sports car engine, he ordered Mu Zhi, “Turn off your phone.”


    Mu Zhi obediently turned it off, and kept silent all the way.


    Lu Jinye didn’t speak anymore as well. He drove back to the vi, stopped the car and got off. Mu Zhi


    did not get out of the car for a long time, so he turned back and looked for her.


    He opened the door, looked at Mu Zhi and asked, “Aren’t you getting off?”


    “I will get down only when my honey isn’t angry. If my honey is angry, I am ashamed to enter the


    house.”


    “Come down. I’m not angry anymore.”


    Lu Jinye calmed down and coaxed Mu Zhi.


    However, after getting off the car, Mu Zhi stopped walking after taking only two steps.


    Lu Jinye, who had been leading the way, turned around and looked at Mu Zhi when he discovered that


    she wasn’t following him, “What’s the matter?”


    Just as he asked, he espied Mu Zhi holding her skirt tightly with her hands. It was originally a one-piece


    evening gown, but it had beenpletely torn by him. Even if she were to hold the top, the lower part


    would fall as soon as she walked.


    Lu Jinye took a look at Mu Zhi, lowered his eyes and walked to her. He took off his coat naturally, put it


    over Mu Zhi’s shoulder, and carried her.


    Mu Zhi was very obedient in Lu Jinye’s arms. Lu Jinye put her in the bedroom. She took off her clothes,


    changed them into pajamas and stayed in the bedroom.


    After Lu Jinye came back from his bath, she took her bath too, and buried herself into Lu Jinye’s arms.


    She acted exceptionally obedient. The both of them did not mention anything about Lu Junnian. Mu Zhi


    was so tired that she fell asleep in a jiff in Lu Jinye’s arms.


    The next day, Mu Zhi was awakened by the phone. Looking at the name shing on the screen, she


    couldn’t help frowning and uttered softly, “Honey, answer the phone, it’s Miss Xiao Qingqing.”


    However, she was met with the sound of running watering from the bathroom. Lu Jinye’s voice


    was not heard at all.


    Mu Zhi did not pass the phone to Lu Jinye, she let the phone ring, but it kept ringing, as if there was no


    intention to relent until Lu Jinye picked up the phone.


    Mu Zhi wanted more sleep. Thus, she could only bring the phone over to the bathroom, and shouted at


    Lu Jinye inside, “Honey, answer the phone, it’s Miss Xiao Qingqing.”


    “Pick it up for me.”


    Lu Jinye’s low voice came through the bathroom.


    Mu Zhi thought she heard him wrong…


    He said to let her pick it up.


    What was her identity? And what was Xiao Qingqing’s identity… Her picking the call?


    What an awkward rtionship this was.


    Therefore, she did not dare answer the phone, but only turned it to silent mode and put it back on the


    bedside table.


    After a while, the sound of running water in the bathroom ceased abruptly. Lu Jinye walked out of the


    bathroom and wiped his soaked hair with a towel. Droplets of water slid down his skin, making him look


    delectable. Anyone could stare at such a figure without getting tired ever.

    “Not going to help me dry up?”


    Lu Jinye looked at Mu Zhi’s salivating look, and teased her.


    Mu Zhi swallowed her saliva and quickly walked over with a bath towel. At the same time, she took Lu


    Jinye’s phone and handed it to him.


    “Now, honey, you can reply Miss Xiao. Let me you dry up.”


    “Why didn’t you answer it for me?”


    Lu Jinye had never shied away from Mu Zhi on any matters, regardless of big or trivial ones, as well as


    private or official ones.


    While helping Lu Jinye dry his upper body, Mu Zhi said, “Miss Xiao still doesn’t know that I’m your wife,


    so it isn’t appropriate for me to answer the phone.”


    Lu Jinye smiled, “Then do you want her to know?”


    “Our divorce will be in five months. It’s better not to let her know, so we can simplify her impression of


    me.”


    After Mu Zhi said those words, she urged Lu Jinye to Xiao Qingqing a return call.


    However, they were too close to each other.


    Mu Zhi could hear everything on their phone call.


    Xiao Qingqing was iprehensibly gentle on the other end of the phone.


    “Jinye, I have an event today that happens to be near yourpany. Shall we have a meal together at


    noon?”


    “Great.”


    Lu Jinye replied with a simple word.


    “Then… I’m just nearby your home now, can you take me to the event site if it’s convenient for you?”


    Xiao Qingqing asked again after hesitating for a bit.


    When he heard her request, Lu Jinye obviously hesitated. He looked up at Mu Zhi. It turned out that Mu


    Zhi had no interest in his phone call at all. She had already finished wiping his body, and sat at the side


    ying mobile games.


    Lu Jinye pondered a while, then replied, “Yes.”


    “Then I shall wait for you.”


    Xiao Qingqing’s voice clearly sounded happy after she got Lu Jinye’s consent.


    She hung up the phone, quickly went to the bathroom, took a shower and then put on borate


    makeup.


    In fact, when she decided to move into the vicinity of Lu Jinye, she felt nervous. But when she heard Lu


    Jinye’s tone a moment ago which sounded normal, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with her moving


    nearby then…


    After hanging up the phone call, Lu Jinye looked at Mu Zhi and threw at her a bunch of keys, “Pick any


    one of the cars in the yard.”


    Mu Zhi nced at the cars, and immediately returned her focus to the mini games on her mobile


    phone, while replying, “Honey, go pick up Miss Xiao, don’t worry about me. I want to go out a bitter


    today. I’d like to meet Jian Xiaoning for a while.”


    Lu Jinye did not look back as he changed his clothes. But he agreed, “Alright.”


    Then, Lu Jinye left the vi.


    After Mu Zhi saw Lu Jinye gone, she changed into some light clothes and went to the convenience


    store for some children’s snacks. Then, she went straight to Jian Xiaoning’s house.


    Before the door opened, she heard an adorable voice inside, “Godmother, mommy is here to see me.


    I’ll open the door.”


    “No, you have to stand at the door and ask who it is first, what if it’s a bad guy?”


    “Okay, Mumu will ask.”


    After she answered, Mu Zhi heard a little girl’s cute voice from inside the door, “Who is outside the


    door, are you a bad guy?”


    “…” It seemed like Jian Xiaoning’s safety lessons had gone to waste. Mu Xiaomu obviously did not


    have enough IQ.


    “Are you saying mommy is a bad guy?”


    Mu Zhi smiled and answered softly.


    “No!” Mu Xiaomu answered happily from the inside, and shouted with joy, “Godmother, open the door,


    it’s mommy, not a bad guy.”


    The moment Jian Xiaoning opened the door, Mu Xiaomu sprang out of the room and threw herself into


    Mu Zhi’s arms.


    She rubbed herself against Mu Zhi and said, “Mommy, I miss you.”


    Mu Zhi carried Mu Xiaomu into the door and put her on the sofa. She took out some snacks from her


    bag and said, “Good girl, have you been behaving?”


    “Yes.”


    Mu Xiaomu answered obediently with her big innocent eyes.
