Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 257 I Should Call You Brother

Mu Zhi was not speaking to him in person, so it didn’t matter if she cried.

He couldn’t see her tears anyways.

“Lu Jinye, cancel the wedding. Cancel it before it’s too late.”

“It’s not too late now.”

Lu Jinye did not respond. He just listened to Mu Zhi and what she had to say.

Mu Zhi said, “I don’t want revenge anymore. It means nothing to me now. I’ve figured it out. I’ve met someone. I want to protect him and spend my life with him.”

Despite saying all that, Mu Zhi still did not hear a respond from Lu Jinye.

Mu Zhi could not stay quiet any longer. She urged him over the phone, “Lu Jinye, say something! Answer me!”

Lu Jinye spoke softly, “Where are you? I’ll go look for you. We’ll speak in person.”

“Why do we need to speak in person?”

Mu Zhi could not stop her tears from falling.

She had no control over herself. Even her body was shaking.

Lu Jinye was serious. “I want to see you. This is not your fault. Neither is it mine. Our relationship does not need to end because of this.”

Mu Zhi’s heart was bleak.

Lu Jinye’s words touched her, and deeply moved her.

“Lu Jinye, what are you saying? Stop being immature. People will not accept this relationship. Don’t you know what people will say if we marry?”

“All the hate comments online are about you.”

“I’m not afraid.”

Lu Jinye replied, “Mu Zhi, I only want you. My mother’s death has nothing to do with you.”
