Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 232 Is the Man Really Her Father?!

Jian Xiaoning uttered as she zipped up her dress.

“Hrm, I suppose not.” Mu Zhi answered good-naturedly, “Seeing what she did out of desperation to win back Lu Jinye’s heart, I feel that she’s quite pitiful.”

“What’s there to be pitiful about? It simple, Lu Jinye doesn’t love her. Also, we don’t know how she got pregnant.”

“You’re the only one with all these conspiracy theories.”

Mu Zhi looked at Jian Xiaoning helplessly. “Have you read too many web-novels and as a result, think that the world is dark and strange?”

“Of course not.”

Jian Xiaoning pulled the corner of her sleeves and added, “I heard this from Xu Se. It’s common in the lustful world that after a one-night-stand, women would use the baby they conceive to bind a man to her.”

“Besides, you won’t believe how many of these melodrama-esque incidents we see every day in the gynecology department in the hospital! After delivering the child, some mothers would bribe the doctor to keep mum of their abortion attempts. Also, frequently you see mothers give birth to a child not knowing who the father is.”

Mu Zhi was listening attentively.

“Really?”

Jian Xiaoning nodded with a stern face. “Because some women are insatiable. They might have slept with more than one man at the same night, so they can’t be sure who is the father of the child.”

“So…”

She was about to summarize her remarks when a studio staff knocked on the door and entered with two bottles of water.

Jian Xiaoning instantly silenced herself.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhi was astonished by what she said. Holding the bottle in her hands, it took her a while before twisting the cap open and taking a small sip out of it.

Mu Zhi felt like she must not make rash accusations against Xiao Qingqing. After all, she did not know her personally.
