Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 240 You’re So Beautiful Today

Linda did not finish her words, but she could see the calamity coming upon her!

Lu Jinye uttered listlessly, “What do you mean?”

“Umm… I-It… Happened when you were on the flight.” Stuttered Linda.

“What happened?”

“I can’t describe it, please see for yourself.”

In between her words, Linda handed her phone to Lu Jinye.

The screen showed Lu Junnian and Mu Zhi smooching with each other, along with egregious criticisms against her.

“Lame.”

Lu Jinye barely took a glance before handing the phone back to Linda.

He lowered his head to continue reading the documents in his hands.

Linda was stupefied. She was lost for words… What does that mean?

Does he trust her wholeheartedly?

Oh heavens, that means he loves Secretary Mu unconditionally!

…

Mu Zhi went through a sleepless night tossing and turning in bed, then finally fell asleep early in the morning.

She was in a trance when she heard some noise coming from downstairs.

She tried to pry her groggy eyes open, but they were too heavy. She was feeble and drained of strength.

After failing to crack her eyes open, she gave in and fell into a deep sleep, thinking that it might have been due to the lack of sleep.

However, she suddenly sensed a silhouette creeping into the room.

She intended to open her eyes, but the silhouette had slowly approached her, reached out to feel her forehead before wheeling around and left.
