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.

“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.

“Everyone is here!”
