Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Difficulty in That Aspect

Yan Shu was on the night shift. She was looking at tabloid news online with a few nurses to pass the time. Suddenly, she received an unexpected call.

“Hello, I am Lu Jinye.” The caller’s voice was stern and deep. The voice is very pleasant to hear. The owner of the voice must be a handsome man!

Yan Shu thought as she answered the call dazedly. But suddenly, she was startled and sat up straight. “Can you repeat? Who did you say you were?!”

“Lu Jinye. Where are you? I need to ask you a few questions.”

Yan Shu felt that she must have been dreaming.

However, she would not let go of a chance to meet Lu Jinye, even if it was a dream. She immediately replied, “I am at the hospital!”

Then she sent him her address quickly. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

In less than twenty minutes, Yan Shu saw Lu Jinye at the hospital entrance.

Lu Jinye did not want to enter the hospital, so he invited Yan Shu to his car to talk.

That was the first time Yan Shu had entered a sports car. Even after she was seated, she found it hard to believe that it was real. She was even more surprised when Lu Jinye explained the reason for his visit.

It turned out her tourist was someone who had connections to Lu Jinye.

Being influenced by his wealth and good looks, she told him all she knew.

She had only met Mu Zhi once briefly and did not know much about her, so she did not have much to say. However, she gave him a clear description of her appearance.

At last, when Yan Shu had emerged from Lu Jinye’s car and returned to the hospital, the whole thing still felt unreal to her. But now, she felt completely different from before. Unlike when she had entered Lu Jinye’s car, she was now completely awake.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye remained in thoughts for a long time in his car. Then, he called Linda and instructed her to contact the psychologist Mu Zhi was seeing. After that, he drove the car back home.

When he had reached his home and opened the door, Xiao Qingqing was dressed in a nightgown and waiting for him on the sofa. She stood up and went to Lu Jinye to help him take off his jacket. “You are back.”

Lu Jinye had only glanced at her and said, “You should rest early. I still have some matters.”

“I have a significant movie premiere tomorrow. It will be at nine in the morning. Can you send me there?”

Her words were affectionate.

However, Lu Jinye had only nodded in silence and went upstairs.

As he opened the door to his study, Xiao Qingqing suddenly shouted at him from downstairs, “Almost every man in this world is captivated with me. Why is it that you won’t even look at me all these years? Lu Jinye, am I really that unattractive? Do we really have to be trapped in a lifeless marriage?”

Xiao Qingqing’s voice was filled with frustration.

Lu Jinye turned around and regarded her silently. His voice was calm as he said, “You knew why we got married. You have always known it.”

After that, he did not linger or elaborate and went straight into his study.

Xiao Qingqing was left alone, sitting dejectedly on the sofa, surrounded by an unending sense of failure.

After a long while, she took out her phone and started browsing for news about her and Lu Jinye on the web.

If one were to follow Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing’s news for the past few years, one would see an enviable fairytale. In the few years that she was married to Lu Jinye, her value had continued to rise, and she became the most profitable star in the entertainment world.

Lu Jinye’s businesses had also reached a new height due to the excellent image he had crafted with her.

In other words, their marriage was a business deal.

However, even in this business deal, Xiao Qingqing still harbored dreams for Lu Jinye, while Lu Jinye had fully viewed it as a part of work and had treated it professionally.

They played the part of an enviable couple before others, but behind closed doors, Lu Jinye wouldn’t even spare her a glance.

A lot of times, Xiao Qingqing lived on favorable news about them on the web.

She convinced herself that she was happy.

Xiao Qingqing opened an article and looked at Lu Jinye’s handsome gaze captured by the camera. She looked longingly at how lovely they had seemed.

She went through the news, starting from their grand wedding to her most recent events. Lu Jinye was always by her side. Their relationship was the subject of envy of everyone on the web.

However, the more she looked at them, the more dejected she felt.

So, she keyed in Mu Zhi’s name.

There was still no news about her.

Apart from the tabloid news from years ago, there was nothing else about Mu Zhi.

Perhaps she had really died.

Her body was never found, but she had really died.

Thinking about it made Xiao Qingqing a little happier. Thank goodness she had died!

It was only after her death that she could finally marry Lu Jinye. Mu Zhi should have died sooner!

As she was about to continue browsing, her phone rang suddenly. Xiao Qingqing frowned but picked up the call anyway.

A man said with a mildly threatening tone, “Hehehe, is this Miss Xiao? I am Zeng Wei, the editor-in- chief of First Entertainment.”

“What is the matter?”

Xiao Qingqing said. Her voice was even more impatient than usual.

The man said, “You and Mr. Lu Jinye are such an admirable couple, and both of you have protected your public images so well. May I know if you’re just as loving in private as you display to the world? Do

you know if Mr. Lu Jinye has been loyal to you?”

“If you have something to say, get straight to the point. If not, hang up. I am going to sleep.”

Xiao Qingqing had never had any patience for this kind of people.

Furthermore, her husband was Lu Jinye. There was no need for her to please him!

At this moment, Zeng Wei, the chief editor said, “I have a news of your husband’s rendezvous with a pretty woman in his sports car for a few hours. I am willing to sell it to you for three million. Are you buying? If not, I will release it in five minutes!”

He was no longer concealing his threat!

Xiao Qingqing stood up in shock and retorted, “My husband was in the car with another woman? No way, stop your nonsense?”

All these years, Lu Jinye had never been interested in any other woman.

She hung up immediately after that.

How dare he try to blackmail her with fabricated news?!

…

Lu Jinye received a call from Linda as soon as he was seated in his study.

She said, “About the woman you asked us to investigate this afternoon, she used Yan Shu’s name for a therapy appointment. The question she had asked the psychologist was, ‘She had difficulty interacting with her husband in the steamy aspect!”
