Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Since the Beginning, I’ve Only Had Feelings for One Person

Mu Zhi laid on the bed in a daze. She heard Lu Jinye, but could not understand what he said. It wasn’t until Lu Jinye had left and the door closed behind him that Mu Zhi’s heart sank.

She sat up in a hurry and examined herself. At that very moment, she did not have a sliver of clothing on. Everything that she and Lu Jinye had just done was vivid in her mind.

Mu Zhi blushed at the thought. More importantly, she was in complete disbelief with herself! How terrifying! Was she crazy?!

Good Lord.

How did such a thing happen?

It was as if she had made a deal with the devil in exchange for her body and soul. She had completely no control.

She didn’t even know what to do now.

She couldn’t imagine that she could lose control like this.

Mu Zhi stared at the ceiling in a daze. She couldn’t make any excuse of her behaviour. Why did she do this? Why was she in such a position?

Why did such a crazy thing happen?!

All these ‘whys’ lingered in her mind.

Her relationship with Xie Xiu was calm and one without waves. She imagined that it would not change in their lifetime.

But now that she’d faced Lu Jinye, she had experienced rage, shock, loss of control and had almost cheated on her husband.

Almost – because they had not taken the last step.

And that was only because Lu Jinye had pulled away.

Mu Zhi did not know what to do.

She picked up her phone but did not know who to call to talk to. She could only call Sophia.

But… The reception was terrible because of the rain. The phone rang a few times before cutting out.

After that, Mu Zhi had no desire to call anyone else. Instead, she covered herself with a bath towel and laid quietly on the bed.

The incident between her and Lu Jinye was like reel that played itself on repeat in her mind and would not end!

Lu Jinye sat on a couch in the motel lounge and lit a cigarette.

The cigarette slowly burned as he watched the rain outside soften to a drizzle. He decided to give Xiao Qingqing a call.

Xiao Qingqing answered his call with a gentle voice, “Is there anything wrong, Jinye?”

Even though there was no love lost between them, Xiao Qingqing was content with Lu Jinye belonging to her.

Lu Jinye frowned and stubbed out the cigarette before saying, “I can’t attend the event with you tomorrow.”

“Sure, I understand. I’ll notify the team and have it announced.”

“I won’t attend any other events with you from now onwards.”

Ever since the last time Lu Jinye canceled on an event with no reason, she knew that something must have happened.

Xiao Qingqing clutched onto her phone and shot out, “Are you going to abandon me again then?”

The question was laced with emotional blackmail.

Xiao Qingqing’s pitiful tactics did not work anymore.

Lu Jinye frowned and said calmly, “Mu Zhi is back.”

At this, Xiao Qingqing hands started to shake as she held onto the phone.

She lost all control, “Lu Jinye! What am I to you?”

“You know how I feel about Mu Zhi.”

Lu Jinye did not want Mu Zhi to return to him while he had a whole load of emotional baggage to deal with. He needed to be unblemished for her.

“Back then when I agreed to marry you, it was to help you with your career. It is written in black and white in our prenup. It was to establish your career. These past few years I have benefited you plenty. I will also compensate you when you leave,” Lu Jinye responded calmly in the face of Xiao Qingqing’s emotional outburst.

A man who had no feelings for a woman knew only to compensate her with materials.

Xiao Qingqing did not know how to respond to that. She simmered in her emotions for a while before finally crying out, “So, you’ve never had any feelings for me at all?”

“Yes.” Lu Jinye replied clearly.

“Ever since the beginning, I’ve only had feelings for one person.”

Lu Jinye was as unmoving as ever. He was not willing to say more and hung up. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Having been hung up on, Xiao Qingqing was dejected.

She looked at the slowing rain and walked out.

City A was large, and Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing were at opposite ends of the city, so the rain was falling at different speeds where they were.

The rain was somewhat slowing where Lu Jinye was but did not seem to be stopping. Whereas where Xiao Qingqing was, the rain had stopped completely.

She got onto a car and drove to Shen Mobo’s without even notifying him.

She walked straight into Shen Mobo’s living room and asked the butler aggressively, “Where’s Shen Mobo?”

The butler was put in a difficult position, “Young Master Shen isn’t home.”

Xiao Qingqing glared at him, “Why are you lying? All of Shen Mobo’s cars are home. Where is he going to go with such heavy rain?”

At that moment, a burst of feminine laughter was heard from upstairs followed by a woman’s voice, “Stop it. That’ll be too boring. Take off your clothes!”

The woman was not like other coy women and went straight to the point.

Xiao Qingqing was fuming. Still in her high heels, she followed the sound of laughter upstairs and barged into the door.

Only to see Shen Mobo and a woman sitting on the bed playing rock, paper, and scissors and whoever lost would have to strip. The table nearby had wine, and it was obvious that they had been drinking.

They woman was almost naked. She only had on a shirt that was just enough to cover her womanly bits.

Shen Mobo was shirtless but still had his pants on.

He turned to see Xiao Qingqing.

Xiao Qingqing went up to the woman and slapped her hard, “Who do you think you are? Get lost!”

The woman tilted her head to look at Xiao Qingqing and returned her slap, “And who do YOU think you are? You are Lu Jinye’s wife. Who are you to tell me what to do?”
