Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 229 The Rubik’s Cube and a Photo

When she turned around to steal a glance at Lu Jinye, she found him staring at her contently and affectionately. As a result, her heart rate immediately started picking up.

She said to Lu Jinye in a flurry, “It’s late, let me check out on Mu Xiaomu.”

Without saying another word, she bolted towards the house.

Staring at Mu Zhi scurried away made Lu Jinye smiled with satisfaction. The woman was adorable to him, regardless of what she was doing.

He gradually headed towards his car, turned the engine over, and waited for Mu Zhi.

After finding Mu Xiaomu, Mu Zhi tacitly and spontaneously brought her to the car where Lu Jinye was. She got into the car with Mu Xiaomu, sitting in the back row. Using the rearview mirror, Lu Jinye ensured that the two of them had fastened their seatbelts before steadily set off.

Mu Zhi had just experienced what felt like hot yoga – her cheeks were still blushed and her heart thumping rapidly. Thus, she was still a little shy to face Lu Jinye.

On the other hand, Mu Xiaomu had not noticed anything odd with her parents at all. She had put all her focus on her tiny bag.

She brought a Mickey Mouse bag to school today. The bag was usually used to store snacks, and she would normally wolf down everything before school finished. However, Mu Xiaomu’s bag was still bulging in this instance. She turned it upside down only to see snacks pouring out of it.

The snacks were not what Mu Zhi usually packed for Mu Xiaomu. It was evident that someone else gave her those.

Mu Zhi watched Mu Xiaomu satisfyingly going through all the snacks that came from the bag before meticulously putting them back one after another, like precious treasures.

Then, Mu Xiaomu moved on to her toys.

“Where did you get the snacks from?”

Mu Zhi asked gently, gaze fixed at Mu Xiaomu.

“Grandpa gave them to me.”
