Chapter 120 Tease Her

“Where are you? I’ll find you right away!”

Mu Zhi held her phone tightly. She did not realize that her voice was trembling when she said those words.

On the other end of the call, Lu Jinye glanced at the store and said, “Fuxing Road. The children’s indoor theme park in Shimao Shopping Mall.”

Lu Jinye hung up the call after speaking.

Mu Zhi did not even finish her words. She hurriedly hopped in a cab and headed towards the address given by Lu Jinye.

While on the way, she felt uneasy. She was worried that she would be late so she texted Lu Jinye to tell him to not buy anything for Mu Xiaomu anymore.

But Lu Jinye ignored her text. After paying for all the things that Mu Xiaomu picked, he then brought her to the VIP guest room to wait for Mu Zhi.

While waiting, Mu Xiaomu’s gaze stayed on Lu Jinye. The other kids would look at the toys around them when they were in a room full of toys, but Mu Xiaomu was different.

Her eyes were anchored on Lu Jinye.

This made Lu Jinye a little curious. He turned around and fixed his gaze on Mu Xiaomu too.

Honestly speaking, Mu Xiaomu’s facial features looked very similar to Mu Zhi. Mu Zhi’s skin was as fair as snow and so was Mu Xiaomu’s.

Mu Zhi had big round eyes, the dazzling eyes that could speak a thousand words. It was just that Mu Zhi would sometimes change the shape of her eyes with make-up. Her eyes were just as innocent as Mu Xiaomu’s.

However, Mu Xiaomu’s brows seemed a bit like…. Looking at Mu Xiaomu, Lu Jinye could not help but frown.

Because… Mu Xiaomu’s brows bore a resemblance to Lu Jinye himself.

Lu Jinye never really observed a child’s look, neither would he understand. He never liked children, so he would not know anything about human genetics.

He looked at Mu Xiaomu, with his brows still frowning, “Have you noticed that you look a lot like me?”

“Of course. You are my papa. So it is no surprise for me to look like you.”

Mu Xiaomu responded confidently as if that was how it should be.

Lu Jinye was flummoxed by her response. He could not tell Mu Xiaomu that he was not her father.

Therefore, Lu Jinye did not continue with the topic. Still, his gaze remained fixed on Mu Xiaomu.

She had captured all his attention.

In the past, Lu Jinye had always been so busy that moments like these would be deemed wasteful. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, he did not think that sitting there with Mu Xiaomu was a waste of time. He enjoyed it.

Furtively, he wished that Mu Xiaomu was his daughter.

In the nick of time, Mu Zhi arrived at the store. When she saw the two of them, she instantly hugged Mu Xiaomu. Then she looked at Lu Jinye.

“How did Xiaomu contact you?”

Mu Zhi looked anxious.

Nevertheless, Lu Jinye did not address her question. Instead, he sized up Mu Zhi and then turned to look at Mu Xiaomu.

Mu Zhi was befuddled by his stares.

“What’s wrong?”

Yet again, Lu Jinye did not answer. He reached out his hands and took Mu Xiaomu out of Mu Zhi’s arms and hugged her. Then he looked at Mu Zhi and asked, “Look at the both of us thoroughly.”

“For what reason?”

Mu Zhi was puzzled. A pair of inquisitive eyes stared at Lu Jinye and Mu Xiaomu.

“Look above our eyebrows.”

“Do we look alike?”

Lu Jinye hesitated for a moment. He looked at Mu Zhi and finally asked.

Mu Zhi glanced as told by Lu Jinye, and then asked amusedly, “So, what do you mean by this?”

She could never figure Lu Jinye’s thoughts. Ditching the guesswork, she asked.

Lu Jinye replied seriously, “I think Xiaomu looks a lot like you, and in some way, she looks like me.”

Lu Jinye was not fooling around when he said that.

However, Mu Zhi was not in the mood to address his doubts.

She did not want to get involved with Lu Jinye. Because she knew that… Lu Jinye belonged to Xiao Qingqing and she was pregnant with his child.

She did not even take him seriously. She thought that Lu Jinye was just teasing her.

After all, she was teased by Lu Jinye multiple times when they were married.

“That’s not entirely right.”

Mu Zhi smiled, “It’s normal for Mu Xiaomu to look like me because we are related. But she doesn’t look like you at all.”

Mu Zhi took Mu Xiaomu back to her arms again and then looked at Lu Jinye. “My apologies if Xiaomu has caused you any troubles. Xiaoning had to leave the city for work so Xiaomu is under my care during this period of time. I have to watch out for her.”

“Since I’ve found Xiaomu, we should head back now.”

“Mama, papa bought me toys.”

Realizing the tension between the two, Mu Xiaomu grabbed the corner of Lu Jinye’s clothes, hoping that would ease the situation.

However, Mu Zhi could not care less anymore.

She took Mu Xiaomu in her arms and headed towards the exit.

Lu Jinye grabbed her hand instantly and handed her all the toys and clothes he bought. But Mu Zhi refused to take them.

She took a glance at the price tags and told Lu Jinye, “These clothes are too expensive. I can’t afford them.”

After saying that, she bid her goodbye and left.

However, the moment she turned and walked, she saw Xiao Qingqing entering the store from a distance.

After being discharged from the hospital, Xiao Qingqing wanted to buy a few baby outfits to create a family atmosphere at home. But when she saw the so-called family of three from a distance, she was raging mad!

What exactly does Mu Zhi want?

Lu Jinye did not even have time to shop with Xiao Qingqing during day time, but he made time for someone else’s kid!

The more she thought of it, the angrier she grew. At the same time, Mu Zhi saw Xiao Qingqing.

Lu Jinye was not looking in her direction so he did not know about her presence in the store.

Without waiting for Mu Zhi to greet her, Xiao Qingqing stormed out of the store in a huff.

When she got into the car, she could not subside the fire inside her!

Fine! Lu Jinye likes Mu Xiaomu isn’t he?!

Then let him meet Mu Xiaomu’s biological father! She wanted to see if he would still like the daughter of the other man!
