Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 172 Were You the One Who Gave Lu Junnian Blood?

“Mama…”

Seeing Mu Zhi come over, Mu Xiaomu hurriedly leaped off the bench and scurried towards Mu Zhi obsequiously. She raised her delicate face to look up at Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi grabbed Mu Xiaomu’s hand and slowly approached Lu Jinye.

She was not only wondering when Lu Jinye showed up… But also puzzled by the troubled expression on Lu Yunxi’s face.

But she came to a surmise as she saw the lighted sign by the door of the operating theater combined with the fact that Master Lu was not in his ward – He required another emergency procedure.

Mu Zhi bit her lips subconsciously. She had her eyes at Lu Jinye but did not know what to say.

“Jinye…”

“Is dad…”

“Are you done with donating blood to your true love?”

As soon as Lu Jinye opened his mouth, hair-raising words of questioning left his lips.

His words left Mu Zhi speechless. She had no idea how she could put it properly…

“This is just a form of respect towards lives, the blood bank is running out of blood.”

Explained Mu Zhi.

Mu Xiaomu seemed to have sensed that Mu Zhi was nervous at this point. She lifted her face to Mu Zhi curiously while Mu Zhi had realized that there were plenty of misunderstandings between her and Lu Jinye needed to be resolved.

Following her poor attempt at explanation, she brought Mu Xiaomu towards Lu Yunxi and said to him, “Do you think you could bring Xiaomu to the children’s play area for a moment? There’s a slide and some other facilities next to the children’s ward.”

“Sure.”

Lu Yunxi could not wait to bolt. He hopped on his feet, grabbed Mu Xiaomu, and ushered her towards the elevator.

Xiaomu showed signs of reluctance, but… The slide and play area were too tempting for her. She ultimately
