Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 116 Papa

Lu Jinye raised his head, his calm gaze met Xu Changshu’s eyes. He sized her up silently, then opened his mouth apathetically.

“I hope you can stop insulting her in the future, Changshu.”

Following his words, Lu Jinye held Mu Zhi’s hand and slowly walked towards his car, while Mu Zhi was holding Mu Xiaomu with her other hand.

When Mu Xiaomu got into the car, she looked at Mu Zhi in confusion.

“Mama, why is grandma angry?”

Mu Zhi could not gather a response to Mu Xiaomu. Why would Xu Changshu be mad…

On the other hand, Lu Jinye behaved more patiently. He looked at Mu Xiaomu’s glittering jet-black eyes solemnly, explaining, “Because grandma wishes to make your mama do something she doesn’t want to do.”

“That means grandma doesn’t love mama.”

After Lu Jinye was done explaining, he was caught off guard by Mu Xiaomu’s remark.

What she said surprised Mu Zhi as well. Mu Zhi turned to Mu Xiaomu in astonishment. Lu Jinye became increasingly patient. His eyes were dazzling in a glow of tenderness, “Yeah, grandma doesn’t love mama.”

“Papa loves mama. Papa doesn’t make mama do what mama doesn’t like to do.”

Xiaomu promptly added. The interaction made Mu Zhi feel a little awkward. She swiftly gathered Mu Xiaomu into her embrace, wrapped her arms around Xiaomu, not letting her say another word.

Meanwhile, Mu Xiaomu stayed in Mu Zhi’s embrace obsequiously, making no attempt to struggle. Her adorable, watery eyes were locked on Lu Jinye for almost the entire journey towards Mu Zhi’s apartment.

Eventually, she became tired from staring, gradually closing her heavy eyelids, and fell asleep.
