Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 26 The Contract Game

Mu Zhi looked through the three photos conscientiously. After examining them, she wanted to reply to Lu Jinye. But she realized that her hand was shaking unconsciously when she was about to type on the screen.

She subconsciously withdrew her hand. She hesitated for a moment and instead of sending the words, ‘What’s wrong, honey’, she sent a mere question mark.

However, there was no reply from Lu Jinye.

The waiting game was tough, making Mu Zhi anxious.

After a long while, she finally received a reply from Lu Jinye, ‘I want to go home for dinner tonight.’

‘Okay honey. I will wait for you.’ Mu Zhi replied to Lu Jinye almost instantly.

Then she quickly turned around and gave Mu Xiaomu a kiss, “Mommy has things to do tonight. I will ask madam to take care of you okay?”

Mu Xiaomu nodded obediently and asked, “Mama, are you going to work?”

“Yes.”

Mu Zhi nodded and said, “Mommy needs to work hard so I can buy more delicious food for you.”

“Okay. Mommy works hard and I will study hard.”

Xiaomu has always been very supportive of Mu Zhi’s work. Mu Zhi had the faintest idea of how Xiaomu could be so well educated. It seemed that it was all just self-taught.

After making arrangements for Xiaomu, Mu Zhi hurriedly took a cab back to Lu Jinye’s villa. With the vegetables she bought, she made a few homely dishes.

Lu Jinye got home when the food was almost ready.

Mu Zhi helped put away Lu Jinye’s coat when he entered the house. After washing his hands, Lu Jinye was served with a bowl of rice along with the vegetables.

Lu Jinye liked greens more than meat. Knowing his preference, Mu Zhi prepared mainly green dishes.

She thought that she could ask Lu Jinye about the photos after he came back, but she waited a long time for him to even speak a word.
