Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 73 The Footage From Years Ago

Staring at Mu Zhi, Lu Jinye subconsciously curved his lips into a smile.

He asked, “Do you care?”

Mu Zhi realized that what she asked had been pushing her boundaries. She responded with a faint smile, “I’m alright, just afraid that Miss Xiao would misunderstand.”

“She won’t.”

After listening to what he had to say, Mu Zhi bolted into the bedroom. She was lying on the bed when Lu Jinye headed into the bathroom. The sound of water splash made Mu Zhi stay wide awake.

It was pretty awkward to sleep next to him. Thus, Mu Zhi was eagerly trying to fall asleep so that she did not have to face Lu Jinye when he was done.

However, the flow of water ceased in the bathroom. When Lu Jinye came out, Mu Zhi felt no sleepiness at all.

She shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

And the more she pretended, the more she could sense what was happening around her, as though her senses were suddenly heightened. Mu Zhi could hear the sound of Lu Jinye climbing onto the bed.

She could also hear Lu Jinye lying down and reaching out the turn the lights off with a click.

In the past, except for that time of the month, Lu Jinye would attack her pink fortress every night without fail.

This was the first and the only time when the two of them called a truce, lying next to each other without any form of negotiation.

Outside, the sound of rain appeared to have become increasingly heavy.

And for some reason, it was difficult to fall asleep that night.

…

On the other hand, Xiao Qingqing almost did not sleep through the night. She wrote another story. This time zoomed into the part where Mu Zhi and Lu Junnian had a child.

Using the force of internet users in a dull and bleak night, she managed to push the story to the front page once again.

Apart from her, staying up through the night were Lu Junnian and Xu Changshu.

Stepping through the door in a hectic manner as he was escaping the rain, Lu Junnian was greeted by Xu Changshu with a stern face, sitting on the couch.
