Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Lu Jinye Is Mu Xiaomu’s Father!

Lu Jinye got out of the car despite not understanding what Liang Jieyi had said.

Mu Zhi was busy thanking Liang Yunzhan and had not noticed what Liang Jieyi was up to.

After Liang Jieyi got Lu Jinye out of the car, he turned and yelled at Mu Xiaomu, “Mu Xiaomu, comehere!”

Mu Xiaomu eyes opened wide as she stared at Liang Jieyi. She hesitated, before quickly with littlesteps she made her way towards Liang Jieyi.

When she spoke, it was with the stubborn pride of a young girl, “What’s up, Liang Jieyi? Why are youlooking for me?”

Liang Jieyi’s expression was nonchalant as he pointed at Mu Xiaomu’s hand, saying, “Go hold Mr. LuJinye’s hand.”

Mu Xiaomu raised her little face upwards and when she saw Lu Jinye, a large smile blossomed on herface.

No matter what Liang Jieyi’s intentions were, Mu Xiaomu didn’t hate the idea. She promptly went up toLu Jinye and grabbed his hand, saying, “Mister.”

It was at this moment when Mu Zhi noticed Mu Xiaomu’s disappearance.

She hastily ended the conversation with Liang Yunzhan to look for Mu Xiaomu. She turned only to seethat somehow, Mu Xiaomu and Lu Jinye were holding hands.

She was too shocked to care about anything else and quickly headed in Lu Jinye’s direction.

But it was too late… Because Liang Jieyi suddenly turned to the direction of the kindergarten entranceand yelled, “From today onwards, Mu Xiaomu has a father! Remember it well because Mu Xiaomu’sfather is Lu Jinye!”

“!!!”

When Mu Zhi heard this, no words could explain how she felt except several exclamation marks. Andthree were far from enough.

Her eyes were wide as she watched Mu Xiaomu and Lu Jinye from afar. Liang Jieyi words ran throughher mind and suddenly she did not want to take another step.

However, things did not end there. Mu Xiaomu followed what Liang Jieyi said with a loud snort. Shethen yelled at her kindergarten peers, “Humph! I have a papa now! My papa is called… Called… LuJinye!”

As Mu Zhi was a long way away, she could not tell what Lu Jinye’s expression was like.

These two children… Were flirting with death!

Liang Yunzhan, on the order hand, was as calm as always. He slowly walked to Mu Zhi’s side andcomforted, “Children… My boy can sometimes be… A little strange…”

“He is pretty strange.”

Mu Zhi did not know how else to respond.

She also did not dare stand there any longer.

Mu Zhi was deathly afraid that if she just stood there, something more catastrophic might happen.

Mu Zhi rushed over and made Mu Xiaomu let go of Lu Jinye’s hand. She said, “Come now, let go of Mr.Jinye.”

She didn’t dare look at Lu Jinye. She could not near knowing what sort of expression he had on hisface, otherwise she might just collapse.

However, Mu Xiaomu would not let go of Lu Jinye’s hand, saying, “No. I have a papa now. I want tohold hands with papa.”

“That’s right. Come, Xiaomu. Get on the car. We’re going to dinner.”

“…”

Mu Zhi was on the verge of breakdown.

She thought that now, she didn’t even need to look at Lu Jinye for her mind to collapse.

However, Lu Jinye was still holding Mu Xiaomu’s hand. He had no intention of letting her go.

“Let’s go together. I can tell that Jieyi likes playing with Xiaomu.”

“We have other plans.”

Mu Zhi awkwardly came forwards and pulled at Mu Xiaomu, but Mu Xiaomu was being stubborn.

And Liang Jieyi who was next to them was adding fuel to fire, “Let’s go Xiaomu. Are you following mydad’s car or your dad’s?”

“I’m going with my dad.”

Mu Xiaomu proudly responded.

Mu Zhi could no longer describe how she was feeling. If she could, she would go back in time andchosen not to give birth to Mu Xiaomu.

This… Was too awkward… It was… Headache-inducing.

“Then let’s both go with your dad!”

Liang Jieyi grabbed onto Mu Xiaomu’s free hand and pulled her towards Lu Jinye’s car.

Today, Lu Jinye drove his sports car.

And could not seat that many people.

Liang Jieyi led Mu Xiaomu to the car only to realize that and said, “Oh no! Your dad’s car doesn’t haveas many seats as my dad’s. Let’s go with my dad.”

“Sure!”

Mu Xiaomu immediately agreed and followed Liang Jieyi.

Mu Zhi felt like she was being swept up in all this…

She could not even control her own daughter.

“Get into my car.”

Lu Jinye pointed at his car. He promptly turned and entered his car.

Mu Zhi was stunned. Next to her, Liang Yunzhan was insisting on her coming to Liang Jieyi’s birthdayparty. She could no longer refuse them.

In any case, she couldn’t be a self-centered mother and drag Mu Xiaomu from the car.

Besides, Liang Yunzhan drove away as soon as he had invited her…

Mu Zhi had no choice but to get on Lu Jinye’s car.

She felt so out of place in Lu Jinye’s car. At any rate, an explanation was needed, to prevent anymisunderstandings.

“About that… Mu Xiaomu is… Today, Jian Xiaoning couldn’t make it, so I came instead… I didn’t knowthis would happen…”

“I was going to bring her out to dinner… And this…”

“You never talk like this.”

Lu Jinye said. He drove without once turning to look at Mu Zhi.

Lu Jinye’s words reminded Mu Zhi to regain her composure. “That was because I was caught off guard.Thank you for helping Mu Xiaomu out just now. I’ll thank you on behalf of Jian Xiaoning.”

“You protest too much. If you carry on like that, I might think that Mu Xiaomu is yours.”

Lu Jinye said.

While he did not truly understand Mu Zhi, he could tell that something was off.

“No. No… I’ll call Xiaoning right now and have her come pick up Xiaomu.”

Mu Zhi hastily called Jian Xiaoning.

Lu Jinye did not respond. He just focused on following Liang Yunzhan’s car to the birthday party venue.

“Xiaoning!” Mu Zhi said when Jian Xiaoning picked up. She did not wait for Jian Xiaoning’s greeting.

Again, not waiting for a response, she followed with, “We bumped into Liang Jieyi’s father when I waspicking up Xiaomu. They invited Xiaomu and I to Liang Jieyi’s birthday party. Do you want to come?Coincidentally, my ex-husband is going as well. Didn’t you say that you wanted to meet him? Now’s agood time.”

Jian Xiaoning understood what Mu Zhi meant by what she said.

She immediately replied, “Sure. Send me the address. I’ll come over as soon as I’m done with work.”

Whereas, Lu Jinye, who was driving, frowned even harder.

Did… Mu Zhi call him her ex-husband?

He was extremely uncomfortable with the title!

Lu Jinye accelerated.

Mu Zhi could feel that Lu Jinye was clearly unhappy. She turned and looked at Lu Jinye… Why was hesuddenly so upset?
