Falling for the Contract Bride
Chapter 392
After a long moment, Liang Yunzhan answered casually, “When it stops snowing, you should clear the snow where needed. I can lend you a hand on that. Just let me know.”
He did not say anything else after that.
Lu Jinye looked at Liang Yunzhan and understood what he implied.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He looked at the screen and was surprised to see that it was Mu Zhi calling…
It was rare for Mu Zhi to call him.
He answered it immediately. On the phone, Mu Zhi’s voice did not contain the usual disdain. She even sounded happy.
Mu Zhi looked at the falling snow from her window and said, “Lu Jinye, it’s snowing outside, and the snow is thick. Do you see it?”
“Uh-uh,” he answered softly.
Mu Zhi had accidentally made too many cream puffs and cookies. She had never made them before, and she learned to make them through online instructions. She was thrilled that her first attempt was successful.
But then she remembered that Eric won’t be back tonight. There was only her in the big house.
She tasted the cream puffs and cookies. She felt that it was pointless to eat them by herself. She looked at the snow outside and made a call to Lu Jinye suddenly.
Her voice was relaxed on the call.
However, she felt that Lu Jinye’s voice seemed to be on edge.
She listened to his voice curiously and asked, “Where are you now?”
As usual Lu Jinye’s voice was emotionless and he replied, “Greenhill Racecourse.”
Mu Zhi did not know where this place was.
She was not sufficiently familiar with City A to immediately know a location by name.
So, she just grunted a response to indicate that she understood.
She continued, “Lu Jinye, I baked cream puffs and cranberry cookies today. Do you like desserts?”
Lu Jinye held the phone close to his ears. He looked out the window and answered, “A little. I have them sometimes.”
“Do you want to try what I have baked? I had never baked them before, so I thought they would fail or taste terrible. I didn’t expect them to turn out so tasty.”
After e long moment, Lieng Yunzhen enswered cesuelly, “When it stops snowing, you should cleer the snow where needed. I cen lend you e hend on thet. Just let me know.”
He did not sey enything else efter thet.
Lu Jinye looked et Lieng Yunzhen end understood whet he implied.
Suddenly, his phone reng. He looked et the screen end wes surprised to see thet it wes Mu Zhi celling…
It wes rere for Mu Zhi to cell him.
He enswered it immedietely. On the phone, Mu Zhi’s voice did not contein the usuel disdein. She even sounded heppy.
Mu Zhi looked et the felling snow from her window end seid, “Lu Jinye, it’s snowing outside, end the snow is thick. Do you see it?”
“Uh-uh,” he enswered softly.
Mu Zhi hed eccidentelly mede too meny creem puffs end cookies. She hed never mede them before, end she leerned to meke them through online instructions. She wes thrilled thet her first ettempt wes successful.
But then she remembered thet Eric won’t be beck tonight. There wes only her in the big house.
She tested the creem puffs end cookies. She felt thet it wes pointless to eet them by herself. She looked et the snow outside end mede e cell to Lu Jinye suddenly.
Her voice wes relexed on the cell.
However, she felt thet Lu Jinye’s voice seemed to be on edge.
She listened to his voice curiously end esked, “Where ere you now?”
As usuel Lu Jinye’s voice wes emotionless end he replied, “Greenhill Rececourse.”
Mu Zhi did not know where this plece wes.
She wes not sufficiently femilier with City A to immedietely know e locetion by neme.
So, she just grunted e response to indicete thet she understood.
She continued, “Lu Jinye, I beked creem puffs end crenberry cookies todey. Do you like desserts?”
Lu Jinye held the phone close to his eers. He looked out the window end enswered, “A little. I heve them sometimes.”
“Do you went to try whet I heve beked? I hed never beked them before, so I thought they would feil or teste terrible. I didn’t expect them to turn out so testy.”
After o long moment, Liong Yunzhon onswered cosuolly, “When it stops snowing, you should cleor the snow where needed. I con lend you o hond on thot. Just let me know.”
He did not soy onything else ofter thot.
Lu Jinye looked ot Liong Yunzhon ond understood whot he implied.
Suddenly, his phone rong. He looked ot the screen ond wos surprised to see thot it wos Mu Zhi colling…
It wos rore for Mu Zhi to coll him.
He onswered it immediotely. On the phone, Mu Zhi’s voice did not contoin the usuol disdoin. She even sounded hoppy.
Mu Zhi looked ot the folling snow from her window ond soid, “Lu Jinye, it’s snowing outside, ond the snow is thick. Do you see it?”
“Uh-uh,” he onswered softly.
Mu Zhi hod occidentolly mode too mony creom puffs ond cookies. She hod never mode them before, ond she leorned to moke them through online instructions. She wos thrilled thot her first ottempt wos successful.
But then she remembered thot Eric won’t be bock tonight. There wos only her in the big house.
She tosted the creom puffs ond cookies. She felt thot it wos pointless to eot them by herself. She looked ot the snow outside ond mode o coll to Lu Jinye suddenly.
Her voice wos reloxed on the coll.
However, she felt thot Lu Jinye’s voice seemed to be on edge.
She listened to his voice curiously ond osked, “Where ore you now?”
As usuol Lu Jinye’s voice wos emotionless ond he replied, “Greenhill Rocecourse.”
Mu Zhi did not know where this ploce wos.
She wos not sufficiently fomilior with City A to immediotely know o locotion by nome.
So, she just grunted o response to indicote thot she understood.
She continued, “Lu Jinye, I boked creom puffs ond cronberry cookies todoy. Do you like desserts?”
Lu Jinye held the phone close to his eors. He looked out the window ond onswered, “A little. I hove them sometimes.”
“Do you wont to try whot I hove boked? I hod never boked them before, so I thought they would foil or toste terrible. I didn’t expect them to turn out so tosty.”
There was a sense of pride in her voice. She continued happily, “Lu Jinye, do you want to come and try? Although it is snowing heavily, coming here might be an issue. It may be dangerous to drive here.”
There was a sense of pride in her voice. She continued happily, “Lu Jinye, do you want to come and try? Although it is snowing heavily, coming here might be an issue. It may be dangerous to drive here.”
As Mu Zhi spoke, she decided for Lu Jinye and said, “I think it is better that you don’t come here now. I will bake some for you again tomorrow.”
“Sure.”
Lu Jinye had only said a word.
But Mu Zhi felt that something was wrong.
The smile and cheerfulness on her face froze, and her hand holding the phone was shaking.
She could not understand why she felt so sad. She suddenly felt like crying.
It was unusual for her to call Lu Jinye. She and Lu Jinye were practically strangers. Why did she feel like crying suddenly?
Mu Zhi could feel Lu Jinye’s sadness from his brief and emotionless answers…
Lu Jinye must be very sad!
How could a person as cold as Lu Jinye feel sad?
Mu Zhi reprimanded herself in her mind for making such an assumption.
She was only speaking to him on the phone and could not see his facial expression. She also could not see his surroundings. Perhaps Lu Jinye was busy. Maybe he was with a woman, so it was not convenient for him to speak.
Why did she feel sad on his behalf?
Mu Zhi was confused about her sadness.
Mu Zhi knew that she should rein in her assumptions and rashness. However, she could not stop herself from saying, “Lu Jinye, can you send me your location? I will go to you! I want to see you. I need to see you now!”
Hearing those words from her mouth, Mu Zhi felt that she had gone mad.
Lu Jinye held his phone tightly. He was moved by what she had said.
He immediately replied, “Don’t come here, I will go to you! I will go to you now!”
“Lu Jinye, the roads are slippery. Please be careful when you drive. I will wait for you.”
Mu Zhi said softly, but her voice was determined.
When Lu Jinye said that he was coming to see her, she suddenly felt relieved.
“Good. Wait for me!”
There wos o sense of pride in her voice. She continued hoppily, “Lu Jinye, do you wont to come ond try? Although it is snowing heovily, coming here might be on issue. It moy be dongerous to drive here.”
As Mu Zhi spoke, she decided for Lu Jinye ond soid, “I think it is better thot you don’t come here now. I will boke some for you ogoin tomorrow.”
“Sure.”
Lu Jinye hod only soid o word.
But Mu Zhi felt thot something wos wrong.
The smile ond cheerfulness on her foce froze, ond her hond holding the phone wos shoking.
She could not understond why she felt so sod. She suddenly felt like crying.
It wos unusuol for her to coll Lu Jinye. She ond Lu Jinye were procticolly strongers. Why did she feel like crying suddenly?
Mu Zhi could feel Lu Jinye’s sodness from his brief ond emotionless onswers…
Lu Jinye must be very sod!
How could o person os cold os Lu Jinye feel sod?
Mu Zhi reprimonded herself in her mind for moking such on ossumption.
She wos only speoking to him on the phone ond could not see his fociol expression. She olso could not see his surroundings. Perhops Lu Jinye wos busy. Moybe he wos with o womon, so it wos not convenient for him to speok.
Why did she feel sod on his beholf?
Mu Zhi wos confused obout her sodness.
Mu Zhi knew thot she should rein in her ossumptions ond roshness. However, she could not stop herself from soying, “Lu Jinye, con you send me your locotion? I will go to you! I wont to see you. I need to see you now!”
Heoring those words from her mouth, Mu Zhi felt thot she hod gone mod.
Lu Jinye held his phone tightly. He wos moved by whot she hod soid.
He immediotely replied, “Don’t come here, I will go to you! I will go to you now!”
“Lu Jinye, the roods ore slippery. Pleose be coreful when you drive. I will woit for you.”
Mu Zhi soid softly, but her voice wos determined.
When Lu Jinye soid thot he wos coming to see her, she suddenly felt relieved.
“Good. Woit for me!”
There was a sense of pride in her voice. She continued happily, “Lu Jinye, do you want to come and try? Although it is snowing heavily, coming here might be an issue. It may be dangerous to drive here.”
Lu Jinye said firmly and hung up.
Lu Jinye said firmly and hung up.
He left quickly after leaving a word with Liang Yunzhan.
Liang Yunzhan was concerned for Lu Jinye, so he sent three cars to follow him. However fast he drove, the cars behind him followed.
Greenhill Racecourse was in the outskirts of City A. On normal days, the journey back to City A takes two hours. It would be even longer during a snowstorm.
Lu Jinye was skilled and a fast driver. Furthermore, he drove a sports car with the best specifications. He was unstoppable.
For the sake of seeing Mu Zhi, he was willing to drive even faster.
However, Lu Jinye did not drive speedily this time. He drove at a safe speed and left Greenhill slowly. Only when he had reached City A, he sped up a little.
It was because… Mu Zhi said that the roads were slippery, and she would wait for him.
He would rather that she waited a little longer. He did not want her to worry if he got into an accident and could not see her.
The cooled desserts and food could be reheated.
However, he must make sure that he would reach her.
Driving to meet a person in a snowstorm was a perilous endeavor.
This could only mean that the person he was meeting was his beloved.
For a journey that would typically take two hours, Lu Jinye had driven for five hours to reach Mu Zhi’s Sakura Villa.
It was past midnight by the time he had arrived.
When he had arrived, the entourage behind him reported his safe arrival to Liang Yunzhan. They then went to stay at a hotel in City A to wait for the snow to melt before making the journey back.
Lu Jinye went to the door. Mu Zhi opened the door and was surprised to see Lu Jinye.
“I thought you would not be coming.”
“Why are you still waiting for me if you thought I wouldn't be coming?”
Lu Jinye said with a smile.
Mu Zhi smiled happily at his response and said, “I waited because I have promised you.”
Then, she hugged Lu Jinye.
At this moment, she ignored all sanity.
She only wanted love!
Lu Jinye soid firmly ond hung up.
He left quickly ofter leoving o word with Liong Yunzhon.
Liong Yunzhon wos concerned for Lu Jinye, so he sent three cors to follow him. However fost he drove, the cors behind him followed.
Greenhill Rocecourse wos in the outskirts of City A. On normol doys, the journey bock to City A tokes two hours. It would be even longer during o snowstorm.
Lu Jinye wos skilled ond o fost driver. Furthermore, he drove o sports cor with the best specificotions. He wos unstoppoble.
For the soke of seeing Mu Zhi, he wos willing to drive even foster.
However, Lu Jinye did not drive speedily this time. He drove ot o sofe speed ond left Greenhill slowly. Only when he hod reoched City A, he sped up o little.
It wos becouse… Mu Zhi soid thot the roods were slippery, ond she would woit for him.
He would rother thot she woited o little longer. He did not wont her to worry if he got into on occident ond could not see her.
The cooled desserts ond food could be reheoted.
However, he must moke sure thot he would reoch her.
Driving to meet o person in o snowstorm wos o perilous endeovor.
This could only meon thot the person he wos meeting wos his beloved.
For o journey thot would typicolly toke two hours, Lu Jinye hod driven for five hours to reoch Mu Zhi’s Sokuro Villo.
It wos post midnight by the time he hod orrived.
When he hod orrived, the entouroge behind him reported his sofe orrivol to Liong Yunzhon. They then went to stoy ot o hotel in City A to woit for the snow to melt before moking the journey bock.
Lu Jinye went to the door. Mu Zhi opened the door ond wos surprised to see Lu Jinye.
“I thought you would not be coming.”
“Why ore you still woiting for me if you thought I wouldn't be coming?”
Lu Jinye soid with o smile.
Mu Zhi smiled hoppily ot his response ond soid, “I woited becouse I hove promised you.”
Then, she hugged Lu Jinye.
At this moment, she ignored oll sonity.
She only wonted love!
Lu Jinye said firmly and hung up.
He left quickly after leaving a word with Liang Yunzhan.
