Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 300 Your Happiness Before Mine

Lu Jinye clenched his fists. He was unsure if it was time to bring up the matter with Mu Xiaomu. Contrary to her seemingly innocent and naive demeanor at the age of ten, Mu Xiaomu was different from her peers. She was intelligent as opposed to her harmless ulterior. So, Lu Jinye decided that it was the right thing to do.

There were things she had to know. Mu Xiaomu had to learn discernment and eventually make sense of the world. Mu Xiaomu grasped her blouse’s bottom corner rather forcefully upon hearing what Lu Jinye had to say.

She walked away, disappearing into the falling snow, summoned a cab, and headed to the theater. “Dad… Somehow… I think I saw mom, too.” Mu Xiaomu stuttered as she spoke.

Furrowing his brows, Lu Jinye listened to Mu Xiaomu recounting her recent encounter.

Mu Zhi gazed at the snow through the window from Xie Xiu’s car.

“It was not long since LA had its last snow. I remember last year was ordinary to me, but not today, like a tingling sentimental… This feeling is indescribable.”

Xie Xiu turned around. He uttered gently, “We can catch the snow scenery in Japan soon if you want.”

Xie Xiu stared at Mu Zhi, still smiling away.

“Nah. Don’t bother. You’re currently caught up with work. We will talk about it later when you’re freed up.” Said Mu Zhi.

“By the way, your competitor must be something. What did he do to deserve your tenacity and dedication at winning the battle to become the next city ruler?”

Mu Zhi gleaned at Xie Xiu.

Whoever that was, that person must be more capable than Xie Xiu.

Xie Xiu was unfazed. He nonchalantly replied, “He makes an interesting competitor.”

He stopped at the brief comment on the competition, refusing to comment further.
