Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 100

Chapter 100 I’ve Taken Off My Pants

Mu Zhi found a wig in Jian Xiaoning’s room and found herself a hat.

But she could still be easily recognized after the disguise. What was she going to do…

Mu Zhi resorted to conducting a thorough search on every shelf of Lu Jinye’s apartment. Where there was a will, there was a way. In the end, she found an outfit that belonged to Lu Jinye!

She hurriedly grabbed a pair of scissors to alter the clothes. She cut the pants short enough so she could wear them, and cut a few holes on the dress shirt so she could fit in. Lastly, with the help of a belt, she managed to put it on, albeit with struggle.

It was bulky and tedious. She wore a pair of high heels, allowing the pants to barely touch the ground, just enough to cover her heels.

She also drew two conspicuously thick brows and a pencil mustache.

That way, she felt like a ‘real man’.

Mu Zhi checked the back door meticulously and noticed that the crowd seemed to be smaller over there. However, she had just cracked the door open when she decided that it was a bad idea. She figured she should go leaving from the front door!

Because… It was more suspicious that way.

She went to the front door, drew a deep breath, opened the door in an insouciant manner, and quickly shut the door as she slipped through the gap. “Thank you for your hostility, Dr. Wang, goodbye, see you next time.” Mu Zhi even put on an act as she closed the door.

She said the words in a hoarse voice before heading to the elevator habitually.

The reporters instantly swamped her when they saw signs of human life, but were stunned to silence when they noticed it was a man…

Judging from her petite figure, she must not be Lu Jinye.

Then who was the man?

They did not dare to recklessly tail Mu Zhi as they were afraid that someone else would leave the apartment later.

Meanwhile, as per their plan, Jian Xiaoning opened the door in a timely fashion.

Thinking that someone else would show up, the reporters hurriedly turned their attention back to the apartment.

Having bought a few seconds, Mu Zhi swiftly dashed into the elevator.

And Jian Xiaoning closed the door shut.

Mu Zhi sighed in relief when she got into the elevator, thinking that she had finally fooled the reporters.

However! That was not true at all!

Her plan was too obvious.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she found a fleet of reporters stomped down the stairs for her.

She started running as she was terrified!

While the people started chasing her!

However, Mu Zhi was no match to the reporters as she was wearing heels, further hindered by the altered pants that belonged to Lu Jinye.

That was simply… Asking for troubles herself.

She could no longer be bothered in the heat of the moment. All she could think about was to run as fast as she could to get rid of the reporters.

Lu Jinye borrowed a sedan from one of the directors as a cover to his identity. He had just arrived at the suburb when he saw a weird-looking ‘man’ running in his direction, followed by a pack of reporters chasing behind.

Before he could see the man’s face, ‘he’ had dashed towards the car, scrambled to open the car door and jumped into the back’s seat.

“Please drive, thanks!”

Mu Zhi shouted anxiously. As soon as Lu Jinye heard her voice, it dawned on him that… The weird- looking man was Mu Zhi.

But he did not turn back. Instead, he followed Mu Zhi’s instructions and took off with the car.

Mu Zhi tried to steady herself when she had entered the car as she said, “Please drive a little further, find a less crowded restaurant. I need some food.’

Lu Jinye obliged without saying a word.

However, the reporters were relentless. Combined with a traffic accident that occurred not far away, Lu Jinye understood that there was no way they could get off before the reporters got them.

He was not bothered by Mu Zhi’s request. While the reporters continued to chase after them, he parked the car at a nearby hotel. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Mu Zhi’s breathing had just recovered at this point. She was flabbergasted when the car came to a halt.

“What are you doing?!”

“Get out!” Commanded Lu Jinye.

Mu Zhi only felt that his voice sounded familiar. She did not have the time to dwell on it as she hurriedly got off the car.

Alas, when she stepped of the car, she tripped on herself, snapped one of her heels while almost stumbling to the ground.

She turned around and saw reporters charging at her rapidly.

At this moment, Lu Jinye bent forward and lifted Mu Zhi right off the ground.

Mu Zhi was perturbed in this instance. She had never imagined that the sedan driver was Lu Jinye. Thus, she was caught off guard when the man lifted her in the air out of a sudden!

“Hey…”

“Put me down!”

Mu Zhi said to the man nervously.

But when she lifted her eyes…

An aquiline nose and captivating eyebrows… Especially his striking, deep-set eyes!

“Ah! Honey, what are you doing here?!”

She was used to calling Lu Jinye ‘honey’. Mu Zhi blurted the word out as she was perturbed.

Lu Jinye arched his brows in an alluring way, shushing her softly.

Mu Zhi pursed her lips and started struggling as she was trying to free herself from his arms.

“If you don’t want to get caught, stop struggling.”

Lu Jinye carried Mu Zhi into the hotel. She could feel her heart thumping aloud throughout the process.

They got into the elevator, turned around, and saw the reporters charging at them like a swarm of bees.

The reporters saw Lu Jinye’s face.

While Lu Jinye stared back at them from within the elevator as the door was closing.

The door managed to close at them at the very last second.

Lu Jinye was a clever man. He selected every single floor so the reporters had no clue which floor they got off.

It wasn’t until they got to the hotel room and ascertained that the coast was clear when Lu Jinye put down Mu Zhi. The first words that came out of his mouth were, “You mentioned about having something to eat, does that mean you’re hungry? I’ll order room service.”

“Don’t worry about it…”

She did not have the time to finish her words.

Before Lu Jinye started dialing the number.

Mu Zhi was startled as she was staring at Lu Jinye. She had not settled from the nervousness earlier, but Lu Jinye’s actions brought warmth to her heart.

She swiftly took off her shoes and went to wash her face. The comical outfit that she was wearing felt rather uncomfortable but she could not remove them.

Standing before Lu Jinye, she could not help but feel restless.

Lu Jinye looked at her with a frown and said, “Take off your pants.”

Take off my pants…

Mu Zhi gawked at Lu Jinye. She could not believe her ears at all.

“Umm… Lu Jinye, we’re no longer married, I suppose the unscrupulous behaviors are uncalled for.”

“What unscrupulous behaviors?”

Lu Jinye scowled as he leaned towards Mu Zhi.

He had never realized that the woman was so easily blushed.

Mu Zhi felt the sudden urge to gulp. She glanced at the wide bed behind her, and stammered, “For example, what you’re going to do after I take off my pants.”

“What were you planning to do after taking off your pants?”

Lu Jinye continued to press Mu Zhi relentlessly.

His questioning put Mu Zhi out of words…

“Umm… That! What we used to do when we were married, we can’t do now!”
