Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 125 From Today Onwards, I Am Her Father

Mu Zhi did not understand how she could open up like that and tell Lu Junnian about Mu Xiaomu. While with Lu Jinye, she had to cover her lies with more lies.

But when Lu Junnian slowly let go of her and cupped her face saying, “From today onwards, I’ll be her father,” Mu Zhi finally understood.

She came to her senses and shot up out of his arms. Mu Zhi looked at Lu Junnian in earnest.

“Don’t be stupid. I’ll raise my own child.”

After she said that, she lifted her hand to her face and wiped away her tears. All of the sadness and hurt she had felt before, disappeared.

She looked up the clock on the wall and smiled naturally.

“It’s getting dark. Thank you for coming over but you should go now.” She spoke formally and kept her distance.

Lu Junnian saw her revert back to her formal self and got annoyed.

“Mu Zhi! Why do you retreat every time I give us an opportunity to grow closer?”

“Because we are no longer in a relationship that needs us to be close.”

Mu Zhi could not count the number of times she had rejected him.

A sense of guilt filled her when she rejected him.

Because… He had done enough, more than enough for her!

Lu Junnian looked at Mu Zhi in despair. He left in anger without saying another word.

Mu Zhi watched as he left. She slumped on the couch and stared at the empty room.

How had things come to this? How could she reject Lu Junnian with such confidence when she couldn’t even tell her story straight?
