Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 146 The Masquerade Ball

Lu Jinye felt a tinge of fury brewing within him as he stormed away.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qingqing was in a great mood lately, especially after Lu Jinye had announced news of their marriage to the public. Xiao Qingqing was indulging herself in congratulatory greetings every day.

She worked in the entertainment industry. It was an unspoken rule that celebrities of the entertainment circle would compete against each other to marry into a wealthy family. Xiao Qingqing basically took the crown of a queen by marrying Lu Jinye!

Thus, there was an unprecedented number of brand representatives who swamped Xiao Qingqing to be the sponsor of their wedding.

Diamond rings, wedding gowns, and everything that could be used at the wedding was offered to her as means of advertisement.

However, Xiao Qingqing pridefully refused all of them.

“My husband is Lu Jinye, do you think that we need the money?”

Unquestionably, Xiao Qingqing did not choose to burn bridges with the brand representatives. These words were said to her agent, who was looking back at her with a troubled expression. It was such a pity to lose out on money-making opportunities.

However, seeing as they had been partnering with each other for years, he could not help but remind her.

“Mr. Lu appears to have gone overseas today.”

“I’ve been reluctant to say this, but you can’t be complacent just because you’re getting married to Lu Jinye. You’ve got to prepare a backup plan.”

Xiao Qingqing refused to listen to him.

She turned around and glared at the agent with a stern face, “You mean Lu Jinye has gone overseas? What’s he doing?”

She was under the impression that Lu Jinye had been spending his nights mingling with Liang Yunzhan and the gang, drinking and partying. Even if Lu Jinye were to womanize, Xiao Qingqing was not bothered.
