Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 98 Mu Zhi Has a Daughter!

When Lu Junnian did not hear a response from Mu Zhi after a while, he said softly, “Good night.”

And prepared to hang up. But Mu Zhi’s anxious bellow could be heard, “This is very important to me.”

Mu Zhi saved the rest of the sentence. It was important to her because he was the father of her child.

Lu Junnian could not pinpoint any form of emotion. He hummed and hung up.

It was the first time Lu Junnian hung up on Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi listened to the empty beeping tone, put her phone away indifferently, unlocked the door, and entered the apartment.

Jian Xiaoning was sitting in the lounge, enjoying some watermelon. When Mu Zhi was home, she swiftly turned around to say, “You’re back.”

Mu Zhi nodded. She slumped on the couch exhaustedly and took a bite of Jian Xiaoning’s refreshing and thirst-quenching watermelon.

“Where’s Mu Xiaomu?”

“She’s asleep.”

Jian Xiaoning spat out some watermelon seeds as she answered Mu Zhi. Her eyes were fixed at the Korean drama that was currently showing on TV.

She went on to say nonchalantly, “Sigh, I heard arranged marriage is a thing again, especially for kids who grow up together. Imagine getting married to someone you’ve known since you’re little. That’s the definition of long-lasting love.”

Mu Zhi understood the overtones in Jiao Xiaoning’s words. She deliberately avoided the topic, saying, “Do Korean dramas show these contents nowadays? You need to kick the habit of watching Korean dramas. It’s not practical at all.”

Jian Xiaoning rose to her feet and turned around to face Mu Zhi, “I’m talking about reality, referring to Mu Xiaomu and Liang Jieyi. Don’t you think they look great together?”

“You’re married to Lu Jinye, while Lu Jinye is mates with Liang Yunzhan. Letting Liang Yunzhan and Lu Jinye become relatives by marriage would be such a beautiful romance.”

Jian Xiaoning had a mouthful of watermelon. Despite speaking with her mouth full, her message was successfully sent across.
