Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 42 Daddy?

She was afraid that she would start sobbing. She stood up and told Lu Jinye, “My stomach doesn’t feel that great. I’m going to the washroom.”

Lu Jinye nodded, and Mu Zhi left in a hurry.

She returned after she had gotten her emotions under control. However, the scene she returned to was one in which Mu Xiaomu was celebrating having found her parents.

Mu Xiaomu ran towards a white swan. Her small face flushed with happiness. She called out in her little girl’s voice, “Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!”

She added, “I always knew I had a father!”

Mu Zhi could not handle it! All the guilt and regrets she kept hidden exploded out of her! She knew that she owed Mu Xiaomu, but now she understood that she owed Mu Xiaomu far more than she realized!

And now!

Now her daughter was dancing her heart out on stage, and she was going to pretend that she did not know her…

How cruel could she be?

Mu Zhi decided! She was going to tell Lu Jinye that Mu Xiaomu was her daughter. She had married him for the sake of her daughter and her mother’s medical bills! And she could no longer stay separated from her daughter.

They would divorce earlier than planned.

Mu Zhi turned, her expression serious, and studied Lu Jinye. “Honey, I need to tell you something.”

Mu Zhi took a deep breath.

Lu Jinye turned to her, “What is it?”

“I…”

Mu Zhi was about to spill everything when from behind them came a voice, “Excuse me. Sorry, I was late. Excuse me, my seat is in there.”

It was Jian Xiaoning’s voice. Mu Zhi turned to look at her only for Jian Xiaoning to shoot a smile back at her. She sat on the seat reserved for Mu Xiaomu’s parent.

She then looked at Mu Zhi and greeted her, “Hey. What a coincidence.”

Mu Zhi nodded and turned her attention towards the stage. Her emotions were finally in order.

She could not divorce Lu Jinye now. She still needed money. She still did not have enough… Everything she had said before about wanting to divorce was her being irrational.
