Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 53 Have I Lost My Charms

Xiao Qingqing gazed at the group of secretaries burying their heads into work, pretending to be busy, and glimpsed at the thermal flask in her hand before turning around to leave.

There was no need to ask the secretaries of Lu Jinye’s whereabouts. She had found her answer.

In the current moment, Lu Jinye was hanging out with his ex-wife.

She left the office for the elevator with pride, pretending that she had not heard a word, holding her tears until she had managed to get into her car.

Why? She slammed on the steering wheel. Why is this happening?

After all her efforts to set Lu Jinye up for his divorce, when he finally did, why must he go look for her?

She was merely a fake, contracted wife!

Intriguing!

Xiao Qingqing took her time to steady herself before leaving in her car. She did not feel like going home but had no idea where to go.

Home… Was nothing but a series of stone-cold walls to go with a roof to her. As well as fragments of the love she had dreamed of having with him.

In the end, Xiao Qingqing made her way to Shen Mobo’s place.

She startled the butler when she arrived at the yard. He opened the door for her and told her softly, “Miss Xiao, Young Master Shen has just gone to bed, do I wake him?”

Shen Mobo made orders to prioritize Xiao Qingqing’s request under all circumstances.

The butler asked as he was aware of Xiao Qingqing’s weights in Shen Mobo’s eyes.

“It’s fine, I’m only here to for a quick visit, since he’s asleep, I shall excuse myself.”

“Care to come in for a cup of tea? I believe Young Master Shen would be glad to see you when he wakes up.”

The butler knew Shen Mobo’s sentiments and took the liberty to invite Xiao Qingqing.

In response, Xiao Qingqing tilted her head upwards, throwing her gaze into the blackness of the sky. It was a cloudy night. Seas of clouds completely masked all of the stars, leaving her in despair and loneliness.

She did not want to go home.

“Very well.”
