Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 23 Did Xiao Qingqing Hit Hard

Lu Jinye looked at Xiao Qingqing. Before having a serious talk with her, he reached out for a tissue and helped Xiao Qingqing wipe her tears away. Then he said, “If you keep crying, you might lose me for real. I am after all a philogynist.”

Lu Jinye deliberately teased Xiao Qingqing to cheer her up.

Xiao Qingqing chuckled, then quickly wiped away her tears before letting out a huge sigh. She looked at Lu Jinye pitifully, “Jinye, I made a mistake.”

Lu Jinye looked at Xiao Qingqing, “What did you do?”

“Can you promise that you’d forgive me first?”

Lu Jinye still couldn’t bear to see her looking so pathetic. So in the end, he said, “I will cover up for whatever wrong you have done.”

“The wound on my face was caused by Secretary Mu.”

Xiao Qingqing bit her lip embarrassedly.

“Mu Zhi?”

Lu Jinye sank into deep thoughts for a moment and asked, “Why did Mu Zhi hit you?”

Mu Zhi was not someone who’d act so recklessly.

When Lu Jinye interrogated Xiao Qingqing, she looked sad, but she still admitted her mistake with a sigh.

“It was my fault. I hit Miss Mu first. Because… I thought she seduced you. But…”

Xiao Qingqing hesitated to continue, as if she was too embarrassed to do so.

“But… You found out that she was my wife?”

Lu Jinye stared at Xiao Qingqing for a long time. It was not difficult for him to guess what was on her mind from her embarrassed expression.

“Will you blame me for hitting her?”

Xiao Qingqing sobbed even harder as she asked this question.

Lu Jinye stretched out his arms and pulled Xiao Qingqing into his arms. Gently, he wiped her tears once again, “The both of you had slapped each other once. It was an eye for an eye. Plus your face is swollen too. It’s alright, stop crying…”
