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 ssmates 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’tpatible.”


    “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 oldplications


    tend to dwell even during a remarriage.”


    So, this was why.


    Mu Zhi became more at ease.


    She wanted to exin 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 g down a cab easily here. I can’t send you back to thepany 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 gged 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 thepany, 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 toe 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 nce at her phone, and without exining 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 vi.”


    “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 ountable for him.”


    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 nced at the time and agreed, “Okay, I will g 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 elerator 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


    elerator, 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’rete. 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 vi.
