Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 130 He Gave Her Courage

It was a rainy night, which was a rare sight in the recent years.

The roads were dark, combined with the fact that it was a considerable drive between the two cities, the journey felt like a torment to Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi kept mum since getting into the car. Lu Jinye could feel the tenseness in her body. He hesitated before reaching out to hold her hand.

She subconsciously retracted her fingers the second she felt his warmth. Then, she raised her eyes to meet Lu Jinye’s tender gaze.

Mu Zhi bit her lip, desperate to stop her tears from streaming down.

Knowing that Mu Zhi needed company, Xu Se offered to give the both of them a ride, instead of letting Lu Jinye drive.

Xu Se glanced at Mu Zhi through the rearview mirror, and said reluctantly, “Isn’t Mu Xiaomu Jian Xiaoning’s daughter? Should we inform her? I think she’s in City S too.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Mu Zhi promptly stopped him. Realizing that she might have overreacted, she hurriedly explained, “She’s currently fighting an outbreak at the hospital. Let’s not distract her. I can find the child.”

She did not wish for Jian Xiaoning to be concerned.

Upon hearing Mu Zhi’s cracked voice, Lu Jinye involuntarily squeezed her hand with his fingers out of grief.

A few moments later, Lu Jinye’s phone rang. He picked up the call, and said indifferently, “Hello?”

From the other end of the phone came the hoarse voice of the man Lu Jinye sent. “Mr. Lu, I was informed by the security guard that a man who resembled the one in the photo you sent went in an hour ago. He hasn’t left.”
