Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 96 A Concoction of Heartache and Upset

The amber glow was draped over the sky. Mu Zhi gazed at the sunset ray as she headed out her house silently.

She sent Lu Jinye an address and it only took him around twenty minutes to arrive. Mu Zhi smiled at him and hopped into the car.

Despite no word exchanged, there was an indescribable tacit understanding between the two.

Mu Zhi was wearing her seatbelt when Lu Jinye turned to face her, saying, “We are going to the Lu’s Manor tonight to discuss our divorce with Master Lu.”

“Sure, I know.”

Mu Zhi knew Lu Jinye’s personality. He did not have to say a word for her to guess what he was going to discuss.

They were going to officially put an end to their marriage.

Mu Zhi had some knowledge of the reason behind her marriage to Lu Jinye. He was in despair after splitting up with Xiao Qingqing and only wanted to drown himself in his career without the distraction of love.

While Master Lu demanded Lu Jinye to get married to rid of any lingering idea of getting married to Xiao Qingqing.

Lu Jinye acted decisively. Since the condition was to get married, then he shall find a suitable woman to get married to.

Hence Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye’s marriage.

In the past, Mu Zhi could have a chat with Lu Jinye as they were heading somewhere in the car. Despite not saying a word, Mu Zhi would not feel awkward at all.

However, the quietness in the air throughout this journey would send a shiver down her spine. Mu Zhi used to think that the journey from the city area to the manor was too far. But for some reason, she found it too short this time.

They arrived at the Lu’s Manor eventually.

Lu Jinye parked his car at the car park, and the both of them got off.

It was the first time Mu Zhi did not have to hold Lu Jinye’s arm and pretend to be loving couples when they entered. It was a strange feeling to Mu Zhi that they were walking side-by-side.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye found it awkward too.

But Lu Jinye did not display anything on his face. He walked past the garden of the Lu’s Manor and headed into the house.

Mu Zhi followed suit.
