Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 227 His Compromise and Love

Mu Zhi wheeled back to face the front and gawked at the bizarre turmoil presented to her. She suspected that she was in a dream. That was the only explanation for the blissful ending to the family.

Xu Changshu and Lu Leiming were before her at this point.

It’s just too strange.

Before Mu Zhi could put the two and two together, the butler had approached her with a bright smile. He looked at everyone courteously and said to Master Lu, “Dinner is ready, should we start?”

“Wait a moment.”

Master Lu threw his gaze out the window and turned around to check the time, seemingly expecting someone else.

At this moment, a series of footsteps came from the yard, one significantly heavier than the other. Lu Yunxi’s voice followed it, “It is such a chore to pick up a kid from the kindergarten. You won’t believe how packed it was at the entrance.”

“Uncle, just admit that you took the wrong route!”

Mu Xiaomu’s little girl voice arose in response to Lu Yunxi’s remark.

Lu Yunxi immediately carried Mu Xiaomu off the ground and said light-heartedly, “Humph, won’t you show your uncle some courtesy? Put some respect on my name!”

“You’ve made several complaints on my driving skills over the journey. Keep in mind that if you weren’t an adorable little girl, I would’ve dumped you in the middle of the road!”

Mu Xiaomu sounded like she understood what Lu Yunxi was saying. Her voice turned sheepish, “Uncle, please don’t leave me on the road. There’re some snacks in my bag, and you can have them all.”

“Humph, it’s too late. Stop bribing me already. I will never pick you up from the kindergarten again.”

Carrying Mu Xiaomu in his arms, the pair was quibbling playfully into the house.
