Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 184 Missing Mu Zhi’s Reliance on Him

Lu Jinye had never prepared breakfast for a woman before.

Besides, he had never displayed that much affection for any woman in his life.

To his surprise! He had the urge to care for Mu Zhi and spend some quality together with Mu Xiaomu. But what was she crying all about?

Coaxing women was not Lu Jinye’s strong suit.

Lu Jinye was instantly at a loss. He turned around to look at Mu Xiaomu.

Mu Xiaomu was contently munching on the breakfast Lu Jinye prepared. She had no intention of getting distracted by Lu Jinye.

He frowned as he pulled a piece of tissue to wipe the tears of Mu Zhi’s face, then said, “Alright, stop crying now. Why are you crying by the way?”

His question put Mu Zhi in a daze.

Why am I crying?

I feel resentful, perhaps.

But why resentful?

She had been handling all the adversities alone. Meanwhile, it did not occur to her that she was physical and mentally exhausted. Besides, she did not notice that she needed to rely on Lu Jinye. After witnessing what he had done for her, she became emotional.

Lu Jinye’s family business was currently facing numerous threats. Thus, it was understandable that Lu Jinye was unaware of her mother’s passing.

Mu Zhi bit her lip, rubbed the tears off but resentment continued to flood her.

“It’s fine, stop crying. Why are you so tired lately?”

Lu Jinye reached out to wipe her tears and asked once again.

Mu Zhi suddenly raised her head and said dolefully, “Lu Jinye, my mom’s gone.”
