Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 226 A Sudden Harmonious Ambience

Lu Jinye did not refute the idea of buying a gift for Master Lu as an apology. He tagged along with Mu Zhi to the shopping mall.

In the mall, Mu Zhi was meticulously selecting the best gift while asking Lu Jinye about Master Lu’s personal preference. Lu Jinye responded to her questions thoughtfully.

He wore a smile throughout the process.

After picking a gift, Mu Zhi turned to Lu Jinye and was startled to find his dazzling smile.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Lu Jinye giggled, “Master Lu barely stays at home when I was little. But whenever he was coming home, my mom would always clean every corner of the house in advance. She would buy a hefty amount of items, soliloquizing to herself if the things are suitable.”

“I couldn’t bear her nagging at the time. I didn’t understand why mom did what she was doing. After all, everything was readily available at home, and Master Lu might not appreciate what she bought. But, she would let her joy overcome her exhaustion.”

“But I realize it now.”

Mu Zhi loaded the tea leaves she could into the car and fastened her seatbelt, “What did you figure?”

Lu Jinye said, “It… Is how a blissful home should feel like.”

“I picked up the same feeling from you, from the efforts you put into working towards a blissful home.”

However, the characters were now different from the visual in his head. His mom did it for Master Lu, while Mu Zhi did the same for him.

After listening to those words, Mu Zhi could not help but chuckle, “Actually, I never thought that I’d put in this much effort in the first place.”

“From the way you described your mom, I can tell that she was a marvelous woman.”

Lu Jinye took the wheels steadily as Mu Zhi stared at Lu Jinye with a stern face. After some moment, she suddenly asked, “Do you find any similarities between your mom and me?”
