Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 50 White Tea?

The following day, when the sun hung high in the sky, Lu Jinye cracked his groggy eyes open as he ran his hand down the other side of the bed, catching nothing but air.

Almost instantly, Lu Jinye was startled awake.

He sat up on the bed, took a glance at the time, and noticed that he was late. Rising to his feet swiftly, he headed to the walk-in wardrobe to get changed. To his surprise, half of the wardrobe had been emptied. Mu Zhi had cleared the clothes that belonged to her, while the new ones he bought her were still sitting in there. The packaging had not been removed and they were good as new.

He burst out of the wardrobe and found a document placed on the most obvious spot of the coffee table.

‘Divorce Agreement.’

It was what he gave Mu Zhi a day ago. It looked like it had not been touched, but Mu Zhi had left her signatures on every signature column.

Mu Zhi’s handwriting was aesthetic. There was no flaw in the names she had signed, indicating that there was no hesitation during the time of signing.

Lu Jinye stared at the divorce agreement with a hint of discontentment.

Peevishly, he headed to the bathroom, took a cold shower, and came out to put the divorce papers away.

Only then he realized that there was a note underneath the document, ‘Honey, I shall not take your villa, I’ll learn to live independently from now on. Thank you honey, love you honey, muah.’

‘Love, Mu Zhi.’

Lu Jinye stared at the few lines of words. The irritation that had barely alleviated returned to him immediately. Mu Zhi… Must you leave in such a hurry?

Did you seriously… Had no tinge of love for me?

Lu Jinye did not want to bat another eye on these. He tossed the divorce agreement into the nearest drawer he could find, changed into a dress shirt, and hurriedly left home.

He could not bear to stay for another minute. Mu Zhi’s presence lingered at every corner of the villa.

Xiao Qingqing had lost track of the number of calls she gave Lu Jinye the night earlier.
