Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 What Was It Like To Be With Jinye

The next day, at the Banya Mount Chateau.

After Shen Mobo had everything arranged, he headed straight to the underground wine cellar, took a few bottles of good wine and sent them to a row of elegant houses in the yard.

He knocked onto one of the doors.

It was two hours before the banquet officially began.

Xiao Qingqing wore a long burgundy dress. Her long wavy hair was let down, exuding her endless charm. She glanced at Shen Mobo gently and said, “Come in, Mobo.”

Shen Mobo put the wine on Xiao Qingqing’s wine cabinet and glanced at her, “You’ll have to wait here for five hours until everything is ready.”

Xiao Qingqing nodded, then glanced at Shen Mobo gratefully, “Thank you, there won’t be any complications, will there?”

“Don’t worry, this drug is highly reliable. The hallucinogenic feeling is similar to the one you get from drinking alcohol as they use the same fermentation method. So even if you went to the hospital for a test, you will not be able to find out the cause.”

Xiao Qingqing felt more assured of after listening to Shen Mobo’s explanation. Once again, she thanked Shen Mobo.

Shen Mobo’s eyes were filled with pity when he glanced at Xiao Qingqing.

Although Xiao Qingqing had debuted as a strip-star back then… He knew better than anyone how strong and innocent this woman was. She picked herself up, one step at the time, from her dark past.

Xiao Qingqing had a past that was too terrible that no words could describe. It was as lowly as hell.

Xiao Qingqing’s stepfather was a gambler, while her mother was a servile woman. She owed debts which she couldn’t afford to pay, so her stepfather decided that they’d sell Xiao Qingqing.

She was studying arts in college at that time, and a director had offered her a role in an X-rated art film. Xiao Qingqing disagreed and cursed the director at first. However, on the night when she was about to be tragically sold by her stepfather, she threatened him with her life and asked if she could be free had she fork out that sum of money.

Her stepfather agreed. So she called the director, and took suggestive photos of various styles, naked on her knees before she was deemed qualified from the audition. When the film was completed, two versions of it were premiered. The censored literary edition made a killing and won an award at the International Film Festival. At the same time, an internal employee had stolen the original film and spread the uncensored version. With that, Xiao Qingqing got famous overnight and was titled the purest porn star.

When Shen Mobo and Lu Jinye met Xiao Qingqing, she was no longer making money from porn. However, she still carried the porn star title.

When Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing were a couple, he had used various methods to help Xiao Qingqing clean up her reputation.

To Shen Mobo, no one was purer than Xiao Qingqing.

Shen Mobo did not say anything anymore. He turned around and walked out.

He walked to the front and waited for the arrival of the other guests…

Mu Zhi wore a casual dress today. Because it was a private gathering, she did not feel restrained. When she and Lu Jinye arrived at the Banya Mount Chateau, they found out five luxury cars in the parking lot outside the chateau. All of which were limited editions.

Mu Zhi glanced at the luxury car several times, and Lu Jinye had to stop Mu Zhi from ogling, “If you like them, I’ll buy a few and keep them at home.”

Lu Jinye said coldly. Mu Zhi quickly reached out and straddled Lu Jinye’s hand. She walked in with Lu Jinye, while questioning with doubt, “Honey, do your friends know that we were married by contract?”

“Yes.”

Lu Jinye replied lightly.

“Then… If I met your friends today, and then… When we divorce, isn’t it…”

“Do not worry.”

“Did they marry their wives out of love?”

Just as Mu Zhi blurted this question, she suddenly realized that she was asking a little too much. When did she become so hesitant? In the past, she would have escorted Lu Jinye to any dinners or fun events without much questions or opinions.

She was shocked by her own reaction that she quickly took back all of the questions she had. Then, she continued to walk in with Lu Jinye.

The chateau was composed of a large cluster of villas. There was a large flower pond in the middle of the lake area. Three men and women were sitting around the pond, frolicking about.

When Mu Zhi arrived with Lu Jinye, those people stood up and greeted Lu Jinye.

A man came over alone from afar. It was Shen Mobo.

Lu Jinye pointed at Shen Mobo and briefly introduced him to Mu Zhi, “This man is the owner of Banya Chateau, Shen Mobo. He is the fourth youngest among us brothers.”

“This is the eldest, Liang Yunzhan.”

“I’m the second eldest.”

“This is the third youngest, Xu Se.”

“And this is the youngest, Wang Yilun.”

“Mu Zhi.”

Lu Jinye pointed to Mu Zhi and introduced her to everyone.

Before Mu Zhi could manage to acknowledge them, someone suddenly stood up, scrutinized Mu Zhi seriously, and exclaimed, “Oh, so this is Jinye’s legendary wife, it’s an honor to meet you at last!”

There seemed to be overtones in his words, although Mu Zhi had no idea what the person was referring to.

Xu Se also stood up, and placed his hand lightly onto Mu Zhi’s shoulder, “Yilun meant that it’s not peanuts to be able to succeed Jinye’s heart, even if it’s just for a contract marriage.”

“Because he is very particular with his women.”

Xu Se added.

These words aroused Mu Zhi’s curiosity, but before she had the time to question further, they were interrupted by Shen Mobo.

Lu Jinye calmly brushed Xu Se’s hand that was on Mu Zhi’s shoulder aside.

Then, the few of them sat together.

The servant turned up with some fruit platters. After having the main dishes, the guests started to play games.

Mu Zhi couldn’t believe that these people could be best friends with Lu Jinye! They were so festive, unlike Lu Jinye who was distant!

The eldest, Liang Yunzhan, was more collected, most probably because he was elder. Furthermore, he had been busy taking care of his pregnant wife.

The forth brother, Shen Mobo… Mu Zhi was a little confused about him. He looked cheerful but when she gazed into his eyes, they seemed depressed and obscure.

After a few rounds of drinking, Xu Se suddenly stood up and suggested, “We all know that Jinye and his wife are in a contractual marriage, and this marriage is about to come to an end. So I have specially planned this game so that the both of you could learn more about each other before your marriage ends!” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“I shall be the judge. I shall close my eyes, and at the same time, you all shall beat the drums and pass the flower around. Finally, when I call for a stop, the person with the flower will have to convey a truth, ok?”

As soon as Xu Se explained this game, everyone unanimously approved of it.

Mu Zhi didn’t respond, and neither did Lu Jinye. So everyone assumed this meant a pass for them too!

Unfortunately for Mu Zhi, she was caught on the first round.

Xu Se asked her a very wicked question.

“How did it feel to be in bed with Jinye for the first time?”
