Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 147 Powerless

The masquerade ball was organized at the open-air rooftop of the hotel.

Under the magnificent moonlight, women were boasting their beautiful dance moves while the gentlemen were socializing among themselves with the tinkle of cocktails.

The event was thoughtfully set up by the hotel. It was not solely designed for adults to indulge themselves in their social desires. There was also a children’s play area for small families.

Mu Xiaomu was enjoying her time in the children’s area. She was playing tag with the other kids, chasing around the area. In the end, all of the children started pulling off their masks amid jovial laughter.

Everyone was seemingly having a pleasant time except Mu Zhi, who was the odd one out.

She was here to avoid Lu Junnian.

When Mu Zhi recalled how she scrambled to get away from her room, she started laughing at herself amusingly. At this moment, a man with a fox masquerade mask gradually approached Mu Zhi. He bent forward from the waist to invite her to dance.

Mu Zhi had been hanging around the children’s area the moment she stepped onto the rooftop. Courteously refusing the man’s offer, she pointed at Mu Zhi, who was playing at a fair distance away.

In response, the man left reluctantly.

It did not take long for another man to take turns approaching her on various excuses. However, every one of them was met with rejection.

One of the men was seemingly reluctant to leave her.

Standing at the balcony, Lu Jinye caught sight of the man – a man who rocked a lion masquerade mask, and a lengthy figure. By the looks of his hair, the man appeared like a Caucasian man.

He approached Mu Zhi tactfully, then invited Mu Zhi for a dance. Similarly, Mu Zhi pointed in the general direction of the kids as a rejection, beckoning that she was a mother who needed to look after her child.

The man circled the dance floor in desolation before coming back to Mu Zhi for the second round of invitation.
