Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Thank You, My Husband

When Mu Zhi followed Xie Xiu out of the hospital, she was still glassy-eyed.

She stood in front of Xie Xiu’s car, showing no intention to get into it. Hence, Xie Xiu reminded Mu Zhi, “Miss Mu, I’m afraid I’ll need you to send me back to the company. It is clear that I’m unfit to drive right now.”

This made Mu Zhi come back to her senses.

Mu Zhi checked her surroundings and got into Xie Xiu’s car.

She certainly had the obligation to send him back.

Mu Zhi drove carefully all the way.

Until she sent Xie Xiu back to his company, Mu Zhi slowly left under the fierce glares of his sexy secretaries.

Xie Xiu had told her his past before. Judging from his bodyguards, Xie Xiu undeniably did look dangerous.

However… The Xie Xiu that Mu Zhi knew and associated with was unguarded.

Mu Zhi flagged down a cab and went back to the company.

She entered the department. She wanted to get a sip of water as well as a breath of air. It was a hectic day for her.

Nevertheless, her seat was the nearest to Lu Jinye’s.

She did not see Lu Jinye when she got up to get herself a glass of water.

Just as she wanted to relax and have a drink, she saw Lu Jinye return.

Moreover… he was sizing Mu Zhi up.

“What time is it now?”

Lu Jinye asked nonchalantly.

“Three in the afternoon.”

Mu Zhi gulped down a mouthful and replied.

Lu Jinye did not express any emotions at all, so Mu Zhi was uncertain what Lu Jinye meant by that question.

She could not guess his mood either.

Hence, she replied a little cautiously.

She did not expect Lu Jinye to clam up. He sat at his desk and started doing his work.

The more he reacted that way, the more Mu Zhi felt nervous.

She hurriedly took out her phone and searched hers and Xie Xiu’s name online to check if there was any news about them online.

There wasn’t.

Only then, she sighed gently in relief.

Luckily… Lu Jinye must have no idea about what happened. She could finally work in peace.

She thought that the rest of the day would be unruffled.

Until nighttime, Lu Jinye left for the conference room for a meeting.

As Mu Zhi needed some previous data for the meeting, she looked for Linda at the secretariat. Linda handed her all the documents she needed once she opened the door. Then she asked curiously, “Did the chairman say anything to you when you came back?”

Mu Zhi thought carefully for a while and answered, “He only asked me what time it was.”

“Did he not ask anything else?”

Mu Zhi was puzzled. She contemplated for a while and shook her head in denial, “Nothing else.”

Linda’s face lit up with joy when she heard that!

Mu Zhi was baffled by her joy.

Then, she saw Linda walk towards the other secretaries and announce, “Come on everyone, tonight’s barbeque will be on you all. Take out your money. I shall collect them, and we shall have delicious grilled meat tonight.”

“I knew it. I would win. Although Mr. Chairman is mean to other women, he is true and sincere towards Secretary Mu. He is a super loving husband!”

“Yes.”

The secretaries who lost the bet looked crestfallen.

Mu Zhi heard everything Linda said as she hadn’t left yet.

Something must have happened.

She walked towards Linda, frowning as she stared at her. When Linda calmed down, Mu Zhi asked, “Why do you claim Lu Jinye to be a super loving husband? What did he do again?”

Linda turned and when she saw Mu Zhi, she was taken aback for a second.

Nevertheless, she was quite close to Mu Zhi in the past. She knew that she could not hide anything from Mu Zhi nor outsmart her.

She told Mu Zhi the truth wryly, “After you passed the coffee for us to bring them up, you went off with Mr. Xie Xiu, didn’t you? The both of you were photographed.”

“The moment when Mr. Xie held you in his arms.”

“Why didn’t I see it online?”

Mu Zhi looked at Linda in shock. She was dubious about Linda’s words.

“Because Mr. Chairman sent someone to stop it upfront.”

“…”

Mu Zhi could not believe it.

She did not know how to respond either.

She glanced at the others beside her. Their expressions acknowledged Linda’s words.

Mu Zhi blinked her eyes and took Linda’s words.

Linda and the other secretaries were already getting ready for their barbeque.

Mu Zhi spontaneously took the documents she needed and headed back to Lu Jinye’s office.

The documents Lu Jinye needed did not require much time for Mu Zhi to organize, but Mu Zhi stayed back after she was done.

She was thinking about what she could do for Lu Jinye.

She circled the office, then went down.

When Lu Jinye completed his meeting, it was already 10 at night. All the other directors left the building like greased lightning, while he went back to his office. He found his office dimmed.

Normally, Mu Zhi could complete her work thirty minutes before time to get off. This meant that… Mu Zhi had left after she had executed all her tasks?

Just as he sat at his desk and was about to continue with his paperwork, a few men carrying several bags came knocking on the door. One turned back and asked the person behind them, “Where shall we put these stuff?”

“There’s a table there. Place it on the table.”

Mu Zhi ordered as she walked in the office.

Lu Jinye frowned as he watched Mu Zhi. Mu Zhi ignored him and directed the people to leave after they had placed the stuff neatly.

After they had left, Mu Zhi opened every plastic bag and took out its contents.

Although the plates did not seem exquisite, the dishes looked splendid.

After Mu Zhi whipped the ten or more dishes into shape on the table, she took out a small bouquet from her bag and put them on the table too. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Then, she invited Lu Jinye, “Let’s eat, Mr. Chairman.”

Lu Jinye frowned, “What are you doing?”

“I cooked all these. I borrowed the kitchen of a restaurant nearby and put them in containers before I brought them over here.”

“Took me quite a bit.”

“So… what brings you to display all these kindnesses?”

Lu Jinye peered at Mu Zhi judgingly.

The city lights shone through the huge glass window into the room, gleaming onto Mu Zhi’s attractive appearance.

It made her look extraordinarily breathtaking.

Especially when Mu Zhi approached Lu Jinye slowly, stretching her arms out to hug and kiss him. Lu Jinye immediately seized her into his arms.

And Mu Zhi uttered softly, “Thank you, my husband.”
