Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 222 Are You Remarrying Lu Jinye?

Mu Zhi paused a while. She could feel the warmth of Lu Jinye’s broad palm. She held his hand back tightly.

The two of them slowly strolled towards the center of the park. There was a space in the center of the park, with a lake in the middle of it.

While Lu Jinye was setting up the tent, Mu Zhi saw the reflection of the moonlight in the middle of the lake.

There was a little wooden boat in the lake. Mu Zhi stared at the boat for a while. After Lu Jinye was done setting up the tent, he walked to Mu Zhi’s side.

“Come, let’s get onto the boat for a while.”

Mu Zhi was surprised. It was already late and quiet. Lu Jinye and her were not teenagers who were keen on the likes of moonlight and romantic atmosphere. They were way past that age.

However, Mu Zhi could see herself leisurely rocking in the water as she heard Lu Jinye’s suggestion.

So, she gave her hand to Lu Jinye.

After Lu Jinye got onto the boat himself, he reached out and brought Mu Zhi onto the boat carefully.

The moonlight seemed brighter from the view on the boat. Its elegant light spilled gracefully onto the boat, forming shadows of them stretching across the surface of the water as they gazed at the sky above them. The boat was let to float to the middle of the lake.

Mu Zhi laid aside and suddenly spoke to Lu Jinye, “When I was young, I recall always being bullied in school because I did not have a father. One day, I tried to run away from home in search of my father. But I got lost in the park.”

The peaceful air was a perfect match with Mu Zhi’s gentle voice.

It made the surroundings even more serene.

“Then I sat on the swing and kept crying. I wept until it got dark and there were stars in the sky. When I raised my head and saw the starry sky, I felt all my troubles disappear right at that instance.”

Lu Jinye quietly admired Mu Zhi from the side as she spoke, his hand gently holding onto hers firmly.

After some moment, Mu Zhi asked Lu Jinye, “Lu Jinye, if we get married, will we not divorce anymore?”

Lu Jinye grunted in compliance.

Mu Zhi silenced for a bit and said, “I grew up without a father, so I understand how eager Mu Xiaomu is to have one. However, this psychology goes this way, if you have never had one before, you’ll perhaps feel disappointed occasionally. But… If you have had one and lost him, it will be devastating.”
