Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 49


    Chapter 49 The Last Night


    Lu Jinye could not help but peer at the Volkswagen Polo with scrunched brows. The few scratch marks


    and the dull color of the car suggested that it was not brand new.


    As he was sizing up the car, Mu Zhi, who was in the house, noticed Lu Jinye’s return. She hurriedly


    walked out, stood by the door, and greeted obsequiously, “Honey, you’re home.”


    Lu Jinye turned around and found Mu Zhi in a white dress shirt, indicating that she had just returned


    home.


    “Did you hire a maid?”


    Lu Jinye asked with a frown.


    “Nope.”


    Mu Zhi kept her jolly expression, as usual.


    Besides, after uttering the word, she approached the yellow Volkswagen Polo smugly and said, “Honey,


    what do you think of my car?”


    With that, Lu Jinye’s scowl deepened, “So that’s your car?”


    Mu Zhi nodded.


    Lu Jinye then stared at Mu Zhi, “Why would you buy a car like this? Don’t we have enough cars at your


    disposal?”


    “Pick up.”


    Lu Jinye pointed at the general direction of the fleet of luxurious cars. Mu Zhi barely took a nce


    before turning away. She must admit that she was touched.


    Lu Jinye was considered a great husband. At the end of their marriage, not only did he leave a house


    for her, but he also offered a car. That alone was a testimony of a great husband.


    Unfortunately, he did not belong to her.


    She was thankful to Lu Jinye for the past years. Lu Jinye provided a haven for her, taking her under his


    wings so she could enjoy a few years of peace.


    But, it was time for him to go.


    Meanwhile, she must learn to gradually leave thefortable zone under Lu Jinye, learning to live


    independently.


    “Nah, honey, I quite like my Polo, your cars are too garish, I’m afraid that nobody dares court me in the


    future.”


    Mu Zhi joked as she headed towards the house.


    Lu Jinye followed suit as he responded, “You belong to me, Lu Jinye, just by holding the title of Lu


    Jinye’s ex-wife, nobody would have the gall to woo you.”


    At this point, Lu Jinye’s words wereced with smugness.


    Mu Zhi sniggered. She went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes she had prepared while saying, “Why


    not? Your businesspetitors wouldn’t wait before swamping me to marry me so they could get a few


    insights into confidential information of your business.”


    Upon hearing her words, Lu Jinyeughed.


    He lugged Mu Zhi into his chest and breathed into her, “Then… Would you say anything?”


    Mu Zhi managed to escape from Lu Jinye’s arms nimbly and sat across the dining table. She helped Lu


    Jinye to some rice and said, “Unfortunately, my honey hasn’t leaked any confidential information to me


    these years, you’re way too smart, way too mysterious for that.”


    She uttered a coquettish snort to protest in between her words.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Lu Jinye stared at Mu Zhi. His eyes filled with dashes ofugh but said nothing and carried on with the


    dinner.


    None of them brought up the divorce agreement from the morning. Lu Jinye did not ask if Mu Zhi had


    signed the agreement either.


    While Mu Zhi did not take the initiative to present the agreement either.


    After dinner, Mu Zhi prepared the bath for Lu Jinye. She adjusted the temperature before calling Lu


    Jinye over. Entering the bathroom, Lu Jinye shoved Mu Zhi into the bathtub.


    She was in his arms. He undid the buttons of her dress shirt and pulled it away.


    Mu Zhi started screaming as she tried to dodge him, sshing water all over. She was giggling but


    could not escape his embrace at all.


    Thus, the smooches began, the panting intensified in between them and Mu Zhi had lost all awareness.


    Just like usual, Lu Jinye lifted Mu Zhi out of the bathtub, wiped her dry, and brought her to the bed.


    From the beginning, Mu Zhi had been cooperative.


    She had no idea why she would always forget the fact that they were not an ordinary couple when she


    was with Lu Jinye.


    There was no love between them.


    Every time they engaged in aggressive cuddling, they would be drained of energy. Mu Zhi would fall


    into a deep sleep after her kitty had been fed.


    But this time, it was different. Lu Jinye joined her in a deep sleep.


    …


    At Xiao Qingqing’s ce.


    It was a quiet night. She gazed at the lonely moon, massaging her temples, and turned her eyes to the


    clock on the wall.


    “Tick-tock, tick-tock,” four hours had passed. It was two in the morning, yet Xiao Qingqing was not


    sleepy at all.


    She sped her phone, understood that she should not be calling Lu Jinye, but could barely control


    herself.


    In the end, she went to the bathroom. She decided to take a shower and get a good night’s sleep.


    After the shower, just as she stepped out of the bathroom, she caught the end of her ringtone. Before


    she could answer the call, it had been cut off.


    Xiao Qingqing’s hair was soaked wet. She was rubbing it in between a towel as she walked towards


    the shelf where her phone was on.


    Nonchntly, she checked on her phone and nced at the caller. However, upon taking a mere


    nce, she almost dropped the towel in her hands.


    She took a long time staring at the name on the screen, hesitating if she should return the call. Just


    when she was at a loss, the phone went off again.


    Xiao Qingqing promptly took up the phone, trembling anxiously as she tapped on the answer button.


    An old, hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, “What’s the matter? Intentionally avoiding


    my calls?”


    The man’s tone was brimming with authority.


    Xiao Qingqing could almost sense her breathing pattern turn rapid. She exhaled sharply and said, “I


    was in the middle of a shower, I wasn’t dodging your call.”


    “Hah, I thought you’re hiding from me.”


    Despite his yful tone, the voice made Xiao Qingqing unsettle.


    “I’vee to your city, aren’t you going to get a meal with me?”


    “I’m on a work triptely.”


    Xiao Qingqing exined anxiously, “Wait till I’m home.”


    The man snorted, but he hung up the call, not pressing on further.


    However, after the call, Xiao Qingqing’s phone subconsciously slipped through her hand. She slumped


    on the couch to steady herself for a moment. Coming back to her senses, she rang Lu Jinye.


    However, she was greeted only by the beeping tone, “Beep, beep, beep…” And her call was not


    answered.


    In the end, a robotic voice sounded in her ears, reminding her that the person she was trying to reach


    was unavable and suggesting her to call backter.


    Xiao Qingqing chuckled. How could Lu Jinye pick up her call at this hour?


    Lu Jinye must have been in Mu Zhi’s bed this instance!


    She knew that it was the cost of losing him in the past. She also understood that she must endure it.


    But, she could not!


    Lu Jinye put his phone on silent when he entered the vi. He wanted to spend hisst night with Mu


    Zhi in peace.


    However, he had pushed too far and he was currently sound asleep.
