Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 14 The Kiss Fell

Lu Jinye looked at Mu Zhi, who was in front of him. Although the expression on her face was calm, as it was when she was at work, as always, her eyes betrayed her.

Her heart remained a little flustered. Lu Jinye did not know what caused this reaction, but her agitation made him feel tinglish too.

He approached Mu Zhi, pulled her towards his side, and said, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Then, he looked up at the time and said, “Okay, let’s go downstairs, I’ll be your pillar of support.”

Mu Zhi nodded. She couldn’t bring herself to act cute and call Lu Jinye honey anymore. Although Lu Jinye had held her hand, she could feel sweat oozing out of her palms.

When they got downstairs, everyone had begun to sit around the dining table.

When Lu Leiming saw Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye, he stretched his hand out to introduce Xu Changshu and Lu Junnian, “Changshu, I’ve just finished introducing you the other members of my family. This is my younger brother, Lu Jinye. Next to him is his wife, my sister-in-law, called…”

Obviously, Lu Leiming had forgotten Mu Zhi’s name.

Lu Jinye continued, “Mu Zhi.”
