Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 58 Astonished

Just as Xiao Qingqing lifted the glass of juice for a sip, an adorable little girl came out of the play area and scurried towards Mu Zhi with her little legs in an obedient manner.

She stood before Mu Zhi. There was quite a distance between them, so Xiao Qingqing could not make out what Mu Zhi was talking to the little girl. She espied Mu Zhi instinctively scanned the area before standing up, bringing the little girl to the washroom.

Xiao Qingqing hesitated. Her gaze remained in the general direction of Mu Zhi, who was disappearing afar, while the glass of juice remained in the air. In the end, she accidentally titled the glass, spilling the juice everywhere, on the table, and herself.

The attendant promptly came over to clean the area.

Xiao Qingqing told Lu Jinye bashfully, “Jinye, I need to go to the washroom.”

Lu Jinye nodded in response, while Xiao Qingqing gradually stood to her feet and set off to the washroom.

In the washroom, Mu Zhi allowed Mu Xiaomu to use the toilet cubicle alone as she waited by the sink.

Then, walking towards her was Xiao Qingqing.

Mu Zhi hesitated briefly, wondering if she should hide. However, it was obvious that Xiao Qingqing had seen her, evident by the dazzling smile on her face.

A pretentious smile at that.

“Miss Mu, what a coincidence.”

Mu Zhi nodded as she had her eyes in Mu Xiaomu’s direction.

“What brought you here for dinner? Goodness, not only does the food suck, but we also need to queue up for ages.”

Xiao Qingqing’s tone suggested that she was expressing a grievance.

Mu Zhi turned her attention to Xiao Qingqing.

Didn’t you choose to come here too… What’s with that picky attitude?

Undoubtedly, she did not allow these words to slip her tongue.
