Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 162

Chapter 162 You Would Marry Me for Mu Xiaomu?

Lu Jinye locked the car right after Mu Zhi was in it. He would not let Mu Zhi have any opportunity to slip away.

“Lu Jinye, what the heck do you mean by doing all this? Let me down!”

Mu Zhi stared at Lu Jinye, looking flabbergasted. However, Lu Jinye only responded with a calm look at Mu Zhi and stated as-a-matter-of-factly, “We shall set off to Xu Se’s villa. Mu Xiaomu is missing.”

Lu Jinye thought Mu Zhi had been only lurking around here and had no idea about Mu Xiaomu’s disappearance.

However, Mu Zhi looked furthermore confused after listening to Lu Jinye.

“What do you mean? Aren’t you supposed to question Xiao Qingqing about Mu Xiaomu’s disappearance? Why are you bringing me to Xu Se’s villa instead?”

Lu Jinye had not a clue of what Mu Zhi said, but he was running out of time for any more explanation.

He simply wanted to straighten out the relationship between him and Mu Xiaomu after listening to Xu Se’s story about her identity!

Lu Jinye handed the laboratory report over to Mu Zhi and started his drive.

He proceeded to Xu Se’s villa in a flash.

Before he got far, he got a call. It was from Xu Se.

Xu Se went straight to the point, “Where are you?”

Lu Jinye replied concisely, “On the way to your place to investigate Mu Xiaomu’s disappearance.”

Xu Se sounded more relaxed this time, “Everything is fine. You don’t have to rush over. Mu Xiaomu has not gone missing at all. I only wanted to help create an opportunity for you to be with Mu Zhi. Adios.”

Xu Se did not give Lu Jinye any time to consider and hung up the call.

Of course he couldn’t let Lu Jinye think. Lu Jinye was a smart person. If he had the chance to think, he would have realized that Xu Se had ruined his wedding on purpose. And what if he left Mu Zhi once more to continue his wedding?

He hoped that Mu Zhi was Lu Jinye’s true love, and she could wrap Lu Jinye around her little finger.

Xu Se was also worried that Lu Jinye would lose his temper towards him.

After Lu Jinye heard Xu Se’s explanation about this prank, he gradually slowed down his speeding car into a halt with a jerk. He stopped his car by the roadside.

Mu Zhi was initially in an anxious state. When Lu Jinye suddenly stopped his car, her whole body was thrown to the front.

Fortunately, Lu Jinye stretched his hand out to help secure her.

He held her shoulder gently.

However, Mu Zhi did not appreciate his attempt at all. She peered at Lu Jinye calmly, then retracted her stare.

“Why did you stop?”

“Xiaomu is fine. She is with Xu Se. Xu Se was only trying to create an opportunity for us to be together.”

Lu Jinye stared at Mu Zhi and explained seriously.

Now that Mu Xiaomu was not lost, this did not look like an emergency. He could still go back and proceed with his wedding as according to plan.

There was only half an hour left to his wedding.

Thirty minutes was more than enough for him to turn back.

Nevertheless, Lu Jinye was clueless himself why he felt reluctant to go back. He did not want to confront those business affiliates who would try to convince him to do what he should do, and not what he wanted to do.

Perhaps, whether Mu Xiaomu was his daughter was extremely important to him.

After hearing Lu Jinye’s explanation, Mu Zhi was even more confused of what was right or wrong.

Jian Xiaoning and Xu Se had been on friendly terms recently. Xu Se was smarter than Jian Xiaoning, so the information she had obtained from Jian Xiaoning these few days might have been orchestrated by Xu Se.

But Xu Se would not have any guts to lie to Lu Jinye.

Therefore, Mu Zhi totally had an iron alibi to presume that this was just a shenanigan.

It had nothing to do with her and Lu Jinye. It was just a joke both the bystanders planned.

Only then Mu Zhi opened the laboratory report for a look.

The first thing that caught her eye was the result: The probability that Lu Jinye was biologically related to Mu Xiaomu was 99. 99%.

Just as Mu Zhi wanted to flip through the details of the data, Lu Jinye peered at her intently.

He pressed her, “Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

“About what?”

“I know that Mu Xiaomu is your child.”

Lu Jinye stated confidently.

It was actually quite obvious since a long time ago from Mu Zhi and Mu Xiaomu’s interaction with each other.

Lu Jinye chose to believe Mu Zhi even when the lies she told were not logical at all.

It was not that this did not arouse any of his suspicion. The thing was, he did not give Mu Zhi enough attention. Furthermore, he did not expect that Mu Xiaomu could be his child.

Nevertheless, this fact was now laid before him.

Naturally he completely believed it.

“Sure enough.”

Mu Zhi sounded so collected that she felt awkward herself.

In the past, she had been wearing a mask around Lu Jinye because she wanted him to have a good impression of her.

But it didn’t matter anymore now after all these occurrences.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Those that she had tried so hard to cover up served no more purpose for her to veil in the present climate.

“When did it happen?”

Lu Jinye continued his interrogation. Mu Zhi did not look at Lu Jinye. She turned her head over and looked elsewhere to think clearly.

“I can’t remember the exact location and time. But it is stated in the video which was leaked previously. You should have watched it before as it was quite widespread at a time.”

“I want to listen to your side of the story.”

Lu Jinye did not take into account Mu Zhi’s words and commanded Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi massaged her temples, bowed her head then only looked at Lu Jinye once more.

“It happened before I married you. It was a one-night stand. I had Mu Xiaomu after that but I did not know who that man was. I thought it was Lu Junnian, but it wasn’t. Shortly after, I had quite a bit of a financial difficulty in supporting my child and paying my mother’s hospital bills, so I married you.”

“So… I’m sorry I hid the fact from you that I’m someone with a child.”

Mu Zhi sounded glum.

Lu Jinye studied Mu Zhi with a straight face, his eyes still dark and bleak.

“Roughly when, and the time you went into labor with Mu Xiaomu.”

Lu Jinye was investigating.

It looked like that to Mu Zhi…

She suddenly felt that if Lu Jinye asked these questions, then it was not worth talking about anymore.

She was sure that Lu Jinye did not love her.

If Mu Xiaomu was his daughter, was he willing to be with her for the sake of Xiaomu?

In the past, when both of them were married, he forked out money whereas she shelled out her time.

She can play the role of a wife perfectly.

But she couldn’t now… She knew that she had fallen in love with Lu Jinye… So what she wanted was not just money and the title of Mrs. Lu!

“So, if the timings are correct, you’d marry me for Mu Xiaomu?”

Mu Zhi answered casually as she flipped through the laboratory report.

Then, she discovered something odd in it!

A piece that proved that this laboratory report was fake!
