Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 22 Hug Him Tight

Mu Zhi raised her eyes and took a serious look at Xiao Qingqing. She then put on a courteous smile.

She nodded at Xiao Qingqing, “Yes, I know the relationship between you and Mr. Lu, Miss Xiao, and I also know that Mr. Lu loves you. If I said that nothing happened between me and Mr. Lu last night, Miss Xiao might not believe it either. You will just have to continue strengthening the relationship between you both and I will be a nobody to him. Miss Xiao, you need not worry about me.”

Mu Zhi made herself look presentable, nodded at Xiao Qingqing, and walked towards the direction of the elevator.

She was his legal wife, and whether she was loved or not did not matter, as it was her name on the marriage papers with Lu Jinye!

However, Xiao Qingqing didn’t seem content to let Mu Zhi walk free. She ran a few steps towards Mu Zhi and reached out to stop Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi subconsciously withdrew her hand and shook it off.

Xiao Qingqing was losing her patience. She unswervingly raised her hand and slapped Mu Zhi across the face.

Mu Zhi was taken aback for a moment. She turned and looked at Xiao Qingqing with a stern face for a long time, and slapped her back.

Mu Zhi went easy. She knew that her slap was definitely not as harsh as Xiao Qingqing’s, but red fingerprints still surfaced on Xiao Qingqing’s fair skin.

“How dare you hit me when you are the mistress of a relationship?”

Xiao Qingqing held her face and looked at Mu Zhi furiously.

On the contrary, Mu Zhi had become the calm one.

“Your slap stemmed from love, you’ve misunderstood that I robbed you of your man and I accept it calmly.

“As for mine, it stemmed from morality and law, my gift of chance for you to respect yourself, Miss Xiao.”

Mu Zhi said these few words listlessly.

“You! What do you think you are?”

Xiao Qingqing started making a scene.

“Mrs. Lu, if it’s enough.”

After saying this, Mu Zhi could no longer bother about Xiao Qingqing.
