Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 185

Chapter 185 You’re Surprisingly Shy

Is he being a little too serious about his role as a father?

Mu Zhi could not help but feel overwhelmed. She looked at Lu Jinye, flabbergasted while blinking her eyes and pondered.

In the end, she had decided that it was the case!

Lu Jinye used to ask her if he could be a good father when he learned about Xiao Qingqing’s pregnancy earlier.

The Lu Jinye at the time must have been stressed out!

Thus, now that Lu Jinye found out that he had another daughter, Mu Xiaomu, the same stress started coming over him, hence his arrangements.

At that thought, an even more serious issue dawned on Mu Zhi!

Xiao Qingqing!

Mu Zhi must not be doing this!

Because… Xiao Qingqing was conceived with Lu Jinye’s child too. Besides, he was supposed to be in love with Xiao Qingqing, but he was currently occupied by Mu Zhi.

She could shamelessly seize Lu Jinye on the ground of love. But her guilty conscience told her that she must not rob a child of their father.

Mu Zhi suddenly turned her face to Lu Jinye, hesitated, and said, “Lu Jinye, what are you planning to do with Miss Xiao’s child?”

Lu Jinye made it obvious that he did not want to discuss that.

“Mu Zhi, I just want to spend a relaxing day with you and Mu Xiaomu. We can talk about the annoying matters later.”

Mu Zhi was astonished to hear his response.

She was wondering if she should press on.

Mu Xiaomu was sound asleep. Thus, it was not the best time to discuss it with Lu Jinye in case the argument got heated up and startle Mu Xiaomu as a result.

Mu Zhi relented. She reminded Lu Jinye in a different tone. “You don’t really need to bring us out for fun. Seeing that the Lu Family is overwhelmed by troubles, you don’t have to do these for us. Besides, there’s no need to feel pressured into being a good dad.”

Mu Zhi had clearly misunderstood Lu Jinye.

He scowled at her in response, “I’m not pressured into being a good dad.”

I do it out of love.

But the latter words did not leave his lips.

And hence the message did not get sent across to Mu Zhi.

She glanced at Lu Jinye. Troubled with a strange feeling, she said, “Mu Xiaomu and Xiao Qingqing’s child are equal. Both of them need fatherly love but the difference is that Mu Xiaomu has grown up without a father and Xiao Qingqing’s child isn’t born yet. I don’t wish the same for the baby, missing a fatherly figure since the baby is little.”

Mu Zhi could feel her heart clenching after saying those words.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye contemplated briefly and said, “I will try my best to make up to the kid as a father.”

They had come to the entrance of Disneyland as they spoke. Mu Xiaomu seemed to have telepathy abilities, jerking her eyes open in a timely fashion. Gazing at the magnificent constructions in the surrounding, she started cheering euphorically.

Then, she could no longer stay put, “Papa, mama, look, it’s Mickey Mouse!”

The supposed jovial air was seemingly ruined by the conversation between Lu Jinye and Mu Zhi.

He uttered at Mu Zhi listlessly, “Take Xiaomu off the car with you, I’ll look for a parking.”

Mu Zhi could not sense any emotion in his words.

She hummed in response, got off, circled the car for Mu Xiaomu, and glanced at Lu Jinye before carrying Mu Xiaomu off the car. But all she could see was Lu Jinye’s apathetic expression.

Mu Zhi hesitated but ended up taking Mu Xiaomu off the car.

She bought a balloon for Mu Xiaomu and she was exhilarated to hold it.

However, Mu Zhi was secretly remorseful.

Lu Jinye got up early in the morning, arranged to bring Mu Xiaomu over, and planned for the Disneyland trip. It was apparent that Lu Jinye had prepared for the day thoughtfully.

He wanted to create some memories for the three of them, to diligently work towards being a good father.

Mu Zhi was peeved. Judging by his intelligence, Lu Jinye must have already figured out what she was trying to say during the journey.

Why must she ruin the jolly atmosphere?

She could have indulged in the beautiful moment, pretended to be a blissfully ignorant woman, and treated the day as a dream. She should not have allowed her rational mind to interfere with her fantasy.

Mu Zhi could have left Xiao Qingqing out just for the moment and find a way to make up to her afterward.

While Mu Zhi was immersing herself in the sea of thoughts, Lu Jinye had parked the car and was walking up to her. There was no evidence of fury on his expression. He made a beeline to Mu Xiaomu and lifted her off the ground, then turned to Mu Zhi, “Let’s go.”

Mu Zhi nodded and followed closely behind.

The two of them seemed to have come to a tacit understanding.

Lu Jinye brought Mu Xiaomu to every ride they could go on throughout the day.

Mu Zhi could not recall the last time she saw Mu Xiaomu this happy…

She had gradually put the conflict behind her, and plunged into the jolliness with Lu Jinye and Mu Xiaomu.

It was dusk when the three of them started setting off for home.

Mu Xiaomu dozed off the instant she got into the car.

While Lu Jinye played some soft music.

Mu Zhi figured that it was foolish to bring up the same topic again, killing what joy they had experienced throughout the day.

Not knowing what else she could say to Lu Jinye, she closed her eyes for a quick nap. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

But… A quick nap turned into a deep sleep.

When they arrived at Lu Jinye’s villa, he brought Mu Xiaomu back into her room in an extraordinarily gentle series of movements. Mu Zhi remained asleep, oblivious of her surroundings.

But when Lu Jinye returned for Mu Zhi, she suddenly woke up in his embrace.

They locked eyes. Mu Zhi was in a trance. She had not yet realized that Lu Jinye was carrying her in his arms.

She became in the face the moment she met Lu Jinye’s captivatingly enigmatic gaze. She tried to escape from his arms, but Lu Jinye stared down at her and commanded, “Stop moving.”

The words felt like an enchantment, immobilizing her in a flash.

Lu Jinye had his arms firmly wrapped around Mu Zhi and he brought her to the bedroom.

Mu Zhi’s face was nestled up against his chest. She could hear his heartbeat.

Simultaneously, her heart rate started picking up.

It wasn’t until they got to the bedroom that Lu Jinye saw her heavily flushed face.

“You’re a surprisingly shy lady, I didn’t know that.”

Lu Jinye teased with a playful smile.
