Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 140
Chapter 140 Ex-Husband’s Proposal To His New Love
“Just leave.”
Lu Jinye reiterated himself coldly.
Mn was starting to get perturbed. She hurriedly threw herself towards Lu Jinye, reaching out for his
arm, but he dodged her with a side-step.
“I’ll make sure my secretary gives you a satisfactory sum of money. Take the money and get out of my
company, I don’t want to see your face again!”
“Ye, what did I do wrong?”
Mn asked nervously, her eyes were brimming with tears.
But Lu Jinye’s expression remained cold and listless.
Hepletely ignored her, refusing to spare even a nce at her.
Mn then switched her helpless gaze to Xiao Qingqing, who was standing at the side.
Lu Jinye only started to be upset after what she said to this woman. She must have crossed the
woman…
Thus, she scrambled to run up to Xiao Qingqing, and bow at her from the waist, “Sorry, sis, I didn’t
mean it. I don’t mind sharing Ye with you. I’m ignorant. Please don’t mind me, please don’t make Ye
chase me away.”
Xiao Qingqing could not be bothered to look at her. She walked straight up to Lu Jinye, and said to him,
“There’s a new florist downstairs, shall we go and buy some flowers?”
She disregarded Mn’s existence.
While Lu Jinye spontaneously allowed Xiao Qingqing to hold his arm. He did not bat an eye at the
sobbing Mn as he headed out his office with Xiao Qingqing.
When Mn wanted to chase after him, Lu Jinye’s cold re instantly pushed her away.
She waited for a long while before going into the elevator alone, headed to the ground floor in the
gloom.
Linda and an intern came out of the pantry with coffee in their hands. Upon witnessing the scene, both
of them could not help but tremble.
The intern looked at Linda, and asked curiously, “The chairman drove Secretary Mu out of his
apartment for this Mndy, then dumped Mn for Miss Xiao Qingqing… Does that mean we can
deduce that Miss Xiao Qingqing is superior to Miss Mn, while Miss Mn is greater than Miss Mu Zhi
in Mr. Lu’s eyes?”
Linda stared at the shut doors of the elevator sorrowfully before heaving amenting sigh.
She had no idea.
She could only shake her head lightly, saying, “Who knows what the chairman is thinking? Sigh.”
Xiao Qingqing clutched Lu Jinye’s arm all the way out of the Shanze building.
She felt as though they were a pair of a loving couple.
But there was no joy in her heart.
Before making her way to thepany, she had heard the news of Lu Jinye’s visit to the bar.
Subsequently, she had also heard about Mu Zhi being chased away by another woman.
At the time, Xiao Qingqing was unquestionably delighted to hear the news.
After all, Mu Zhi had lost her footing in Lu Jinye’s heart. She should be d about that.
However, when Xiao Qingqing came to thepany and saw the ‘heroine’ who drove Mu Zhi away,
she became greatly disappointed.
The woman did not belong to their league at all…
She could hardly even meet Xiao Qingqing’s eyes, let alone recing Mu Zhi in Lu Jinye’s heart.
At that thought, Xiao Qingqing raised her eyes to look at Lu Jinye, who was gazing at the lilies in a fair
distance away.
She swiftly brushed off her train of thoughts, and grabbed the bouquet of lilies Lu Jinye was eyeing,
“Jinye, this is pretty.”
“If you like it, I can buy the entire shop for you.”
“…” Xiao Qingqing gawked at Lu Jinye in shock, sping the bouquet of lilies in her hands.
But Lu Jinye did not look like he was making a joke.
At the same time, he had lifted the phone in his hand, dialed Linda’s number, and told her to take care
of the acquisition of the florist.
Linda ced the cup of coffee on the table with a nk and rushed to the ground floor.
Following that, Lu Jinye canceled every appointment in the day just to spend time with Xiao Qingqing.
Xiao Qingqing was a celebrity. Despite her pregnancy, she was able to attend some easy-going events.
Lu Jinye chauffeured her to a talk show recording, apanied her to a banquet, and brought her to
thepany for a meeting.
Xiao Qingqing had been in the limelight recently due to the exposé revolving around Lu Jinye’s divorce
from Mu Zhi, just to get married to her.
But! Having Lu Jinye followed her around for the entire day was a rare sight, hence members of the
media were enthusiastically making a big deal out of it.
Xiao Qingqing was not bothered. She rather enjoyed staying in the limelight, allowing reporters to snap
numerous photos of them together.
In the past, Lu Jinye would never attend such events. But he was surprisingly cooperative today.
…
Meanwhile, after Mu Zhi had settled down, Liang Yunzhan informed her that Mu Xiaomu would stay at
his ce for dinner, and he would drop her home after the meal. Mu Zhi then went downstairs to buy
some takeaway dishes and brought them back into her hotel room.
The deafening silence in her room was uncanny. She could almost hear her breathing echoing in the
room. It was the first time Mu Zhi realized that she hated the feeling of loneliness. Thus, she turned on
the TV.
s, it was just in time for the entertainment news, as the daily news broadcast had just finished airing.
Any channel that Mu Zhi switched to, she would see Xiao Qingqing and Lu Jinye’s intimate interaction.
She did not feel like seeing Lu Jinye’s news. This type of news did not interest her at all.
So, she started switching channels like a madwoman.
At this moment, a sudden glittering light illuminated the sky.
There was a fireworks show.
Mu Zhi put down the TV remote control, left the TV on, and walked towards the window to enjoy the
magnificent fireworks just to distract herself.
Numerous fireworks brought mour upon every corner of City A.
Some of the fireworks showed delicate designs of different artworks. The heart shapes told Mu Zhi that
it might be a love confession.
At the time, it did not ur to Mu Zhi who might be behind the fireworks. She figured it might be a
game of a prodigal son from a wealthy family. When she lifted her head, she could see an airne
zooming across the sky. Trailing the airne was the dazzling glow of lights that wrote, ‘Jinye loves
Qingqing’.
Those words made Mu Zhi’s heart skip a beat as she did not see iting.
Lu Jinye was confessing his love for Xiao Qingqing.
It meant that the fireworks were released as part of his surprise confession for her…
At that thought, Mu Zhi had lost all interest in watching the fireworks show. She swiftly returned to the
TV screen and started flipping channels to find a drama series to divert her attention.
When she came before the TV, it was still showing the same channel before the fireworks.
Coincidentally, the channel was airing footage of Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing, where the reporter had
interviewed Lu Jinye, “When do you n to propose to Xiao Qingqing, and when do you n to marry
her?”
Lu Jinye answered, “We can’t tell you that yet, that’ll ruin the surprise.”
The interview was recorded during the day. After all, it had only been hours between the interview to
his proposal at night.
True enough, the element of surprise was kept wlessly.
Mu Zhi was putting all efforts to persuade herself not to dwell on it. These should all be well within her
expectation… But she could not help but feel upset.
She had lost all her appetite for the dinner she just bought.
She realized that she did not understand Lu Jinye at all. She could notprehend how Lu Jinye
managed to forget everything that happened a day prior within a day.
He even acted as though nothing had happened.
Or, in the other words, Lu Jinye might have never loved her.
Otherwise, why would he change so easily…
Regardless of how convinced Mu Zhi was that she might never be a significant figure to Lu Jinye at all,
she could not help but feel upset when the truth struck her.
The sorrow was uncontroble.
On the TV screen, Xiao Qingqing’s dazzling smile was soring to Mu Zhi’s eyes. Lu Jinye’s smile was
even more unpleasant.
But she did not switch channels, forcing herself to watch them, as though torturing herself.
Mu Zhi made herself finish the entertainment news and had no intention to switch channels even during
the advertisement session.
The fireworks outsidested for over a full hour. After an hour, gossips of Lu Jinye’s morous
proposal swiftly took multiple social media tforms by storm.
Mu Zhi read every single article, from the top page to thest.
Great… Time to let go.
Mu Zhi put down her phone. Her eyes were dry and ufortable, so she headed to the bathroom to
wash her face. When she was done, her phone went off. She headed to the lobby to pick up Mu
Xiaomu.
Mu Xiaomu looked at Mu Zhi in confusion, asking her why they were living in a different ce.
Mu Zhi exined, “Because grandma is going another ce to get treatment. We need to pack our
things and follow grandma.”
Mu Xiaomu had a great y date today. Exhausted, she did not spend too much time chatting with Mu
Zhi. Mu Zhi would usually be required to coax her to sleep, but Mu Xiaomu fell asleep next to her eyes
after just ying on her own briefly.
Mu Zhi carried Mu Xiaomu to the bed, then went to sit down on the chair next to the bed, staring at the
air nkly.
What is Lu Jinye doing right now? He might be over the moon…
Her phone rang once again, Mu Zhi did not look at the name before answering the call. From the other
end of the phone came Lu Junnian’s voice. “Where are you?” He merely said the three words.
Mu Zhi rose to her feet and gazed down the window. Her mind was empty. She had forgotten where
she was…
After a long pause, she said, “The hotel.”
“Do you want to get a drink?”
“Xiaomu is asleep, I can’t go out now.”
Lu Junnian was silenced for a moment before saying, “Then, give me your address.”
Mu Zhi did not read much into it. She just sent her location to Lu Junnian.
Not long after, a series of door-knocks arose. It was not Lu Junnian, but food delivery.
The food deliverer brought a serve of crayfish, meat skewers, and three bottles of beer.
After receiving the food, Mu Zhi noticed a note on the bag, ‘If your alcohol tolerance is still the same,
three bottles should be enough to settle you to sleep. Don’t push yourself.’
Mu Zhi stared at the few lines of words. The unreadable chicken scratch resembled how a junior school
student would write.
N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
But the tone sounded exactly like Lu Junnian…
He was the only person who was clear of her alcohol tolerance.
Mu Zhi chuckled helplessly. Realizing that what she experienced felt like a scene taken out of the
drama series.
Her ex-husband had just proposed to his new love, while her ex-boyfriend came forward tofort her.
