Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 72 A Stormy and Steamy Night

The very moment she heard the conversation, Mu Zhi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It was out of her control, for unknown reasons.

Mu Zhi turned away intentionally, pretending to be asleep. But Lu Jinye’s voice continued to be heard.

She seemed to be putting more focus on the words exchanged.

She heard Xiao Qingqing say, “Jinye, thank you for your tolerance and love, you gave me love and rescued me. You are the moon of my life, my sun, and stars.”

“Mmm,” Lu Jinye responded with a light utterance.

Not long after, he added, “Don’t live in the past.”

On the other end, Xiao Qingqing laughed lightly, “To bring me out of my past, you’re going to have to work hard to create new memories for me.”

Mu Zhi clutched her abdomen area. Why did she start feeling stomach-ache as she listened to their conversation?!

“That’s all in the past, nobody can hurt the Xiao Qingqing now.”

Lu Jinye said listlessly.

Mu Zhi could not help but threw a glance in Lu Jinye’s direction.

Did she hear it correctly? Lu Jinye was consoling someone!

True enough, the true love of his life gets a different treatment.

Mu Zhi thought to herself. Either as his wife or his secretary, she had never seen Lu Jinye give words of consolation to any woman!

What a gentle and encouraging tone he had! Mu Zhi was starting to be astonished!

However… Apart from astonishment, she sensed a dash of upset.

Xiao Qingqing continued with her lovers’ prattle, “Jinye, I’m not that invincible now, there’s one person in the world who could still hurt me. That is you.”

“Because I’m madly in love with you, I’m only vulnerable to you.”
