Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 186 Are You Saying That You Love Me?

His words made the pinkness of her cheeks dissolve into crimson red.

Mu Zhi held her palms over both sides of her cheeks, “You must’ve turned the heater up too high in the car, and my face becomes red due to the sudden temperature change.”

She thought that it was a solid justification.

But Lu Jinye smiled from ear to ear.

After all… There’re moments when this woman loses her wits.

He chose to expose her with a pretentiously caring and tolerating smile, “What month is it? Why would I turn on the heater?”

At the sound of the words, Mu Zhi blushed to the roots of her hair. She turned her face away in embarrassment, then said, “Umm, I’m tired and I need to take a shower.”

Following that, she disregarded Lu Jinye and scrambled to enter the bathroom for her shower.

During shower, Mu Zhi could feel her heart thumping rapidly due to what Lu Jinye said to her.

However, Mu Zhi managed to cool herself from the shower.

She must not succumb to him.

Lu Jinye was irrational. He was not aware of how pitiful a child could be to grow up without a father.

He might have been misled by Mu Xiaomu’s adorable temperament. Thus, Mu Xiaomu received preferential treatment from him.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qingqing was handicapped because her baby was still in her womb. Without Lu Jinye, the baby would only bring Xiao Qingqing anxiousness and misery. He would never understand what Xiao Qingqing was going through.

Mu Xiaomu grew up without a father. Just because Mu Zhi’s child was fatherless, it did not give her the right to rob another child of their father.

She had concluded during the span of her shower.

After drying herself, Mu Zhi changed into her usual pajamas, then left the bathroom.
