Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 223

Chapter 223 Every Single Cell Trembling

Mu Zhi did not have much interaction with Bai Shao, so she did not quite understand him.

The sole connection they had in between the both of them was Lu Junnian.

Lu Junnian and Bai Shao were classmates in the States, and Lu Junnian was Mu Zhi’s ex.

So, when Bai Shao queried Mu Zhi if she wanted to remarry Lu Jinye, the first thought that came to Mu Zhi’s mind was that Bai Shao intended to lobby for Lu Junnian.

However, Bai Shao kept his eyes focused on the front, and said calmly, “No. I feel that Miss Mu and Chairman Lu aren’t compatible.”

“Really? Why?”

Mu Zhi was startled. Bai Shao was the first to tell her that they weren’t suitable to be an item without going further into detail first.

Bai Shao chuckled lightly, and then replied Mu Zhi solemnly, “I was just kidding. I thought all divorces happen because there were dissolutions that were beyond restoration. Hence, the old complications tend to dwell even during a remarriage.”

So, this was why.

Mu Zhi became more at ease.

She wanted to explain to Bai Shao about their marriage.

But Bai Shao did not give her any chance to do so. He continued, “Miss Mu, this is already the center of the city. You can flag down a cab easily here. I can’t send you back to the company as I have other

urgent matters to tend to, is that alright with you?”

“Sure, sure. Just drop me off here, Dr. Bai.”

Mu Zhi hurriedly agreed with Bai Shao.

Bai Shao stopped almost right away. He sped off after Mu Zhi got off without even saying goodbye.

Mu Zhi flagged down a cab and got in immediately.

Lu Jinye’s love confession was so prominent that she could feel every pair of eyes on the road staring at her.

She felt that it was too much.

When she arrived at the company, there wasn’t any space for the cab to stop. It was crowded by reporters awaiting Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye.

“Sir, please send me to the basement.”

She resorted to use the basement elevator.

Mu Zhi offered to tip the cab driver.

The driver agreed, and dropped her at the basement. Mu Zhi scanned the surroundings to make sure that there weren’t any ambushes before getting off the cab. When she was assured that the coast was clear, she rushed into the elevator.

Mu Zhi went up right away. As she arrived at Lu Jinye’s level, she felt a strange air.

Mu Zhi saw Linda and the other secretaries peeping into Lu Jinye’s office from the outside.

Mu Zhi frowned and strode over, “What are you all looking at?”

Linda shushed her, and whispered, “Watching Mr. Chairman ditch Xiao Qingqing.”

Mu Zhi was on the case too. She leaned against the wall beside Linda and peeped cautiously in to watch.

Xiao Qingqing was seated right in front of Lu Jinye. She was silent at first, then got up slowly and walked towards Lu Jinye. Without any warning, she threw herself onto Lu Jinye with a hug.

Lu Jinye noticeably refused her. He pulled her arm away, and frowned as he chided, “Qingqing, stop making a scene.”

“I just want to do whatever I can to convince you to come back.”

Xiao Qingqing gazed at Lu Jinye earnestly, “Must you marry Mu Zhi? Must it be her?”

“Tsk tsk, Mr. Chairman is definitely a cold-hearted person.”

Before Lu Jinye could respond, the secretaries outside his room were already discussing the matter.

Mu Zhi did not know how to react. She could only stare at the situation before her eyes.

Unfortunately, her phone rang at this moment!

Their initially silent environment, a perfect condition for eavesdropping, was busted. Mu Zhi’s phone ringing had startled the two people in the room.

Xiao Qingqing turned around and looked at the door, but Linda and the other secretaries were nowhere to be seen at this point.

They had left Mu Zhi standing there alone, nervously holding her phone!

At that moment, Xiao Qingqing lost her desire to badger Lu Jinye.

Must Mu Zhi watch over him so closely?

Or was she showing off her victory?

Mu Zhi took a glance at her phone, and without explaining to the both of them, she picked up the call promptly.

It was Xie Xiu’s secretary.

“Good day, Miss Mu. Mr. Xie has a scheduled appointment today with the hospital, and he is requesting your presence at his villa.”

“Oh? Should I bring the doctor over?”

Mu Zhi looked flustered.

“Miss Mu, I believe you’re clear who Mr. Xie got hurt for. I hope you hold yourself accountable for him.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Mu Zhi was at a loss for words when she heard the secretary’s words.

What else could she do?

True enough, she was the reason that Xie Xiu got injured.

She glanced at the time and agreed, “Okay, I will flag a cab over right now.”

She assumed that Xiao Qingqing and Lu Jinye would need quite an amount of time to talk this over, so it should be fine if she left for a while now.

“We are already waiting for you downstairs. The main entrance is closed off by the reporters, so we shall wait for you at the back door.”

The secretary hung up as she finished.

Mu Zhi did not waste any time. She hurried down towards the back door.

When she arrived, a Maybach stopped in front of her. She nodded her head at the car and got into it.

“Can…”

Before she could finish, the car sped off straight!

Mu Zhi could feel her soul flying out of the window as the accelerator was pressed to the fullest!

She was so startled that she had to hold onto the side to sit up straight, but only to find her efforts in vain.

She had met this secretary before and felt that she was judgmental towards her as she seemed quite protective over Xie Xiu. But Mu Zhi was convinced that perhaps it was just her show of loyalty towards Xie Xiu.

However, even if that was the case, there was no need for her to put Mu Zhi’s life at risk.

It was the first time Mu Zhi felt the speed of the wind in a car. As the secretary stepped onto the accelerator, she could feel every single cell in her body tremble.

She could only beg the woman beside her, “Secretary Rao, can you please slow down?”

However, the secretary only replied to her with a serious tone, “Miss Mu, you’re late. Mr. Xie doesn’t like to be kept waiting.”

“But…”

Mu Zhi could not think up any more excuses. The secretary’s driving was too terrifying.

It was best for her to concentrate on protecting herself.

She did not reply anymore and let Secretary Rao drive however she liked, regardless of the ride being like a roller coaster.

In less than ten minutes, the car steadily stopped at the entrance of Xie Xiu’s villa.
