Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 107 Lu Jinye Humiliated Her

Xiao Qingqing froze instinctively. She freed herself and turned around to look at Shen Mobo.

She pried open Shen Mobo’s fingers that were intertwined, rubbing her temples to ease the hangover headache, saying, “I think… We should keep our relationship the same as before.”

The shock was written all over Shen Mobo’s face. The scrunched forehead and solemnness on Xiao Qingqing’s face told him that she was not joking at all.

“How are we supposed to return to how we were before?” Asked Shen Mobo, “After last night, we can no longer be the same.”

Rightfully… Despite Xiao Qingqing’s drunken haze, she had not fully lost consciousness. She was clear of what happened between the two of them, and how they made it to Shen Mobo’s home from the hotel to have a wild night.

She could even remember her mindset at the time – reprisal and indulgence.

It was a completely different state. There was a clear line between the mind of indulgence and a rational one.

Her gaze was rather cool as she raised her head to study Shen Mobo, “I love Lu Jinye.”

“So…”

She paused momentarily before going on to conclude. But she had not managed to finish her words before Shen Mobo cut her off. He held a hand in the air, saying, “Understood.”

There was pain and sorrow in his eyes when he uttered that word. He added, “Sure, as you please.”

“Thank you.”

Xiao Qingqing thanked him in a listless, distant way before grabbing her bag and left.

The sunlight was pouring brightly on Xiao Qingqing when she stepped out of the house. The whiteness of the surrounding felt surreal to her. She got into Lu Jinye’s car and headed back to Lu Jinye’s villa.

It was almost dinner time when she reached home. The maid in the kitchen was busy preparing for the meal as Xiao Qingqing put down her bag, tactfully walked up to the maid, asking, “Is Jinye home?”

The maid shook her head in response, “Mr. Lu hasn’t been home since yesterday.”

Xiao Qingqing nodded with a smile, gesturing for acknowledgment. She turned around and grabbed a yogurt, turned on the TV, and switched to the entertainment channel, slowly wiping off the bowl of yogurt.
