Chapter 107 Lu Jinye Humiliated Her
Xiao Qingqing froze instinctively. She freed herself and turned around to look at Shen Mobo.
She pried open Shen Mobo’s fingers that were intertwined, rubbing her temples to ease the hangover
headache, saying, “I think… We should keep our relationship the same as before.”
The shock was written all over Shen Mobo’s face. The scrunched forehead and solemnness on Xiao
Qingqing’s face told him that she was not joking at all.
“How are we supposed to return to how we were before?” Asked Shen Mobo, “After last night, we can
no longer be the same.”
Rightfully… Despite Xiao Qingqing’s drunken haze, she had not fully lost consciousness. She was
clear of what happened between the two of them, and how they made it to Shen Mobo’s home from the
hotel to have a wild night.
She could even remember her mindset at the time – reprisal and indulgence.
It was a completely different state. There was a clear line between the mind of indulgence and a
rational one.
Her gaze was rather cool as she raised her head to study Shen Mobo, “I love Lu Jinye.”
“So…”
She paused momentarily before going on to conclude. But she had not managed to finish her words
before Shen Mobo cut her off. He held a hand in the air, saying, “Understood.”
There was pain and sorrow in his eyes when he uttered that word. He added, “Sure, as you please.”
“Thank you.”
Xiao Qingqing thanked him in a listless, distant way before grabbing her bag and left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe sunlight was pouring brightly on Xiao Qingqing when she stepped out of the house. The whiteness
of the surrounding felt surreal to her. She got into Lu Jinye’s car and headed back to Lu Jinye’s villa.
It was almost dinner time when she reached home. The maid in the kitchen was busy preparing for the
meal as Xiao Qingqing put down her bag, tactfully walked up to the maid, asking, “Is Jinye home?”
The maid shook her head in response, “Mr. Lu hasn’t been home since yesterday.”
Xiao Qingqing nodded with a smile, gesturing for acknowledgment. She turned around and grabbed a
yogurt, turned on the TV, and switched to the entertainment channel, slowly wiping off the bowl of
yogurt.
While she was eating, tears started rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.
She recalled that Lu Jinye had absolutely no awareness of what she had done with another man,
disappearing for the whole night.
Hohoho… Hilarious.
He had continuously proven how insignificant she was in his eyes through his actions.
At this moment, the sound of the door clicking came from outside. When Xiao Qingqing noticed that it
was Lu Jinye, she mopped the tears off her cheeks, squeezed a smile, and walked up to Lu Jinye.
“What’s the matter?”
The apathy in Lu Jinye’s eyes remained appealing even when he was showing concern.
Xiao Qingqing chuckled casually. She explained to Lu Jinye, “Nothing, the drama is too touching.”
On the TV, the entertainment news was currently covering the affair between the wife of a celebrity with
his agent. Realizing that Xiao Qingqing was blatantly lying, Lu Jinye’s frown deepened.
“Are you sure that the news is touching?”
Xiao Qingqing turned around anxiously, stunned as she stared at the TV screen without saying a word.
At this moment, the maid came out from the kitchen, serving piping hot soup as she said, “Sigh, there’s
no way the news made Miss Xiao cry, she is trying to avoid worrying you. My mood can be quite off on
some days of my pregnancy. I’d cry over the most trivial matters.”
“Is that so?”
Lu Jinye bent forward and gazed at Xiao Qingqing with gentle eyes.
Xiao Qingqing went along with the maid by nodding, pretending to be extremely doleful.
Lu Jinye then caressed her shoulders lightly, rubbed the remaining tears off her face, and smiled,
“Alright, let’s eat, stop crying. You need to be a role model to the baby.”
Xiao Qingqing hummed coquettishly in agreement.
Then, she followed Lu Jinye into the dining room for dinner.
It was an extraordinarily relieving meal.
After dinner, Xiao Qingqing grabbed an iPad and played an early parenting video. She watched the
video while intermittently throwing her gentle gaze at Lu Jinye.
The maid’s words earlier gave Xiao Qingqing an idea. She said, “I went to see an old friend last night.”
“She’s married and happened to be in town for a check-up. Her husband was around. I can’t help but
feel that she’s the luckiest girl in the world.”
Lu Jinye had his eyes fixed on the proposal in his hands. He looked to Xiao Qingqing as she spoke.
“Do you feel happy for her?”
“Yeah, and at the same time, sad for myself.”
Xiao Qingqing stammered, “I started dating earlier than her. She used to be envious of me, but now…”
She did not finish her sentence, pretending to be unwilling to continue as she squeezed a stiff smile,
buried into Lu Jinye’s embrace, and lightly tilting her head upwards.
“Jinye, luckily… After going through everything, we can finally be together, plus a baby.”
Xiao Qingqing looked blissful.
“I used to be fixated on my career in the past, I was adamant to pursue for a better future. But when I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmleft you, I learned that any form of progress in my career is meaningless without you. You are my
everything.”
Xiao Qingqing was confessing her love, while Lu Jinye merely stared at her indifferently.
There was hesitation in his eyes. He should be giving Xiao Qingqing his word in this instance.
Besides, he should also make a well-deserved pact with the baby in Xiao Qingqing’s womb.
But… The words wouldn’t come out from his mouth.
Lu Jinye glanced at Xiao Qingqing, and gathered her into his chest, gently stroking her silky hair.
Xiao Qingqing did not say another word. She just closed her eyes to enjoy the moment.
…
Mu Zhi became even more infuriated when she stormed into the apartment. She casually put the
iPhone X Lu Jinye bought on the shelf, took a seat, and gulped a glass of water to steady herself.
Jian Xiaoning came out of her room with a facial mask, inspecting the iPhone X for a long while,
sighing, “Isn’t that a little too extravagant?!”
Mu Zhi glanced at her helplessly, “It’s from Lu Jinye.”
“Lu Jinye is such a great man!” Praised Jian Xiaoning.
But it was not enough to bring the sorrow away from Mu Zhi’s face, “He humiliated me when he gave
me.”
Heaving a lamenting sigh, Mu Zhi found life to be a tough journey.
She rose to her feet, thought about finding a source of comfort in Mu Xiaomu. But to her surprise, she
opened the bedroom door and realized it was empty.
“Where’s Mu Xiaomu?”
“Liang Jieyi’s family hired a Grandmaster pianist to his place to give a lesson, he invited Mu Xiaomu
over for a play date. So, Mu Xiaomu was picked up early in the morning.”
“!”
Mu Zhi stamped on the floor in surprise.
“Why didn’t you stop Xiaomu?!”
At this point, she did not want any bit of association with Lu Jinye and his gang at all!
