Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 47 Why Did You Choose To Marry Me in the First Place?

Lu Jinye glanced at the documents on the desk. He swept every single piece of them into the shredding machine to shred them into bits before chucking everything into the bin.

Then, he approached the French window, stood by it as he gazed down at the bustling city’s lively traffic, captivating as always. However, he had become increasingly irritated.

Lu Jinye was never a drinker, but at this moment, he had a strong urge for alcohol.

Annoyed, he returned to his desk, took up his phone, and made a call.

At the other end of the phone came Xu Se’s voice, “Yo, what gives?”

“Cut your crap, see you at the Shihao Bar for a drink.”

Upon uttering the words, Lu Jinye hung up the call immediately, hopped into his car, and set off to Shihao bar right away.

However, Xu Se was nowhere to be found as he entered the bar. Sitting there was Shen Mobo.

Lu Jinye took a seat next to Shen Mobo. The bartender poured him some wine and he gulped down a few glasses before turning to Shen Mobo, “Why is it you?”

“Xu Se was held back by his family for a blind date, he can’t escape for now, so he called me to keep you accompanied.”

In between his words, Shen Mobo filled Lu Jinye’s glass and asked, “How are things between you and Qingqing?”

Lu Jinye said nothing. He gulped down another shot before glancing at Shen Mobo apathetically.

“It’s understandable that you can’t move on from your past relationship.”

Shen Mobo suggested boldly, “Would you consider moving your divorce forward to marry Qingqing?”

Lu Jinye did not marry Xiao Qingqing years ago due to the Lu Family’s resistance towards their relationship.

“You only married a random person due to personal interest, while Qingqing wasn’t around, hence Mu Zhi. But now that Qingqing has returned…”
