Chapter 150 There’s You, There’s Me, and There’s Love

Hearing those words made Mu Zhi feel embarrassed and angry at the same time.

She promptly locked her door so it felt more secure.

She understood that it was consensus and everyone had their needs and rights to choose what they

want to do with their bodies, but… It was Lu Jinye. Knowing that he was going to be a father, Mu Zhi

felt she had crossed the boundary. She had the urge to jump off the building from her guilty conscience

right now.

Bursting into the toilet, she turned on the shower to allow water to pour onto her skin, knocking some

senses into her. But amid a cold shower, fragments of what happened the prior night started to come

over her.

The more complete the visuals were, the more she hated herself.

Why did I take that drink without any awareness?

Mu Zhi heaved a sorrowful sigh and turned on the shower once again!

What will Lu Jinye think of me now?

At that thought, it suddenly occurred to Mu Zhi that she might be overthinking. No way, I must divert my

focus.

…

Xiao Qingqing came all the way from City A to the United States of America. When the door was

answered, it was obvious to Xiao Qingqing that Lu Jinye had just woken up. He was disheveled with a

casual T-shirt on.

Upon noticing that it was Xiao Qingqing at the door, his gaze instantly turned cold and distant.

“You’re pregnant, why did you come all the way here?”

What else? Just to see if you have another woman out here!

Xiao Qingqing fumed, but these were words must not leave her mouth. She walked into the room,

pulled the curtains open to let the morning sunlight pour into space.

The bedsheets were disarranged. All of these were unlike Lu Jinye.

Xiao Qingqing could feel her body shuddering from rage. She hurriedly stormed into the bathroom. But!

Nobody was there!

She searched the cupboards and anywhere else that might fit a person. In the end! She did not find a

single soul!

Lu Jinye understood what Xiao Qingqing was after, but her actions did not seem to bother him.

Allowing her to sweep through the room thoroughly, he languidly stepped into the bathroom, twisted the

tap, and took a shower.

After his shower, he stepped out to see Xiao Qingqing seated upright on the chair.

“What were you looking for?”

Lu Jinye looked at her casually as he asked.

Xiao Qingqing clenched her fists, displaying a stiff smile on her face, “Jinye, I thought you have a new

girlfriend since you came to the States. I’d just like to see her charms.”

Meanwhile, she could not stop sizing up Lu Jinye, hoping to find traces of clue from him.

However, Lu Jinye disregarded her remark. He grabbed a jacket, pulled it over him, then started

buttoning his shirt steadily. When he was done, he looked to Xiao Qingqing.

“You’ve always been smart and sensible.”

So, don’t do anything stupid.

Lu Jinye did not let the latter words slip his tongue, but the message was successfully sent across.

Xiao Qingqing flushed to the roots of her hair. She scurried towards him, and seized his hand,

stammering, “I… I might be influenced by hormonal fluctuations from the pregnancy. That’s why I’m

sensitive.”

Lu Jinye indolently lifted his arm to check the time, and then told Xiao Qingqing, “I’m late for an

appointment with a client. I’ll get Linda to book a ticket for you. Go home.”

“Jinye, I want to keep you accompanied.”

Xiao Qingqing clasped Lu Jinye’s hand, followed closely behind him with a solemn expression,

desperately trying to fawn over him.

Lu Jinye studied her like with his deep-set eyes. However, he merely paused for a few seconds before

turning to his usual listlessness.

He opened his lips, uttering, “Qingqing, I prefer how you were in the past when you focused on your

career. I know you’re ambitious. There’s no need to sacrifice your dreams for me.”

Finishing what he had to say, Lu Jinye took her hand away, preparing to set off.

But Xiao Qingqing let her emotions took over her once again. She raced towards Lu Jinye and hugged

him from the back. Her voice was cracking when she started speaking.

“I’m willing to give up my dreams for you. I’ve repented from my mistakes. Why won’t you give me a

change? Jinye.”

Xiao Qingqing sounded genuine.

Despite not turning around, Lu Jinye could feel her surging tears drenching the back of his dress shirt.

“I used to be fixated on my career just so I could match up to you. I was just fighting to marry you with

dignity. But now… I’ve regretted it. If I will lose you in exchange for the success of my career, I’d rather

not have a career.”

Xiao Qingqing had completely broken down into tears towards the end of her remark.

Amid choking and sobbing, she confessed dolefully, “I love you, I’ve never felt so much pain in my life.

You used to say that you’ll stay by side regardless of what happens to me.”

“You only married Mu Zhi in the first place because I left you. But I’ve returned, can you please give me

back the love you once had for me?”

Lu Jinye had never witnessed Xiao Qingqing choking up this badly from her tears. She was trembling

all over towards the end.

Finally, Lu Jinye wheeled around, gathered her into his embrace, and patted her to calm her down.

Xiao Qingqing buried herself into his neck, and would not leave, proclaiming to him, “Now that we have

a baby. There’s you, there’s me, and there’s love. We can form the happiest family ever.”

Her words made Lu Jinye feel like a complete scumbag.

In the past, Lu Jinye would never allow Xiao Qingqing to shed a single tear.

But for reasons unknown to him, he now had the heart to see her cry without a twinge of heartache.

Thus, Lu Jinye could only console her by fulfilling her wishes. He said gently, “Ok, let’s go home.”

He had decided to return to City A with her.

…

Mu Zhi was surreptitiously leaning against the door to overhear the ordeal outside. She planned to wait

until both of them had left before leaving the room.

However, in this instance, she received a call from the hospital, “Miss Mu, we need you to come to the

hospital at once, your mother has just woken up.”

Hearing those words brought goosebumps all over Mu Zhi.

She hurriedly hung up the call, brought Mu Xiaomu with her, and burst out of her room.

Alas, Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing were still standing at the entrance.

Upon exchanging uneasy glances, the surrounding air instantly turned thick with awkwardness.
