Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 178 Mr Xie, When Are You Coming to City A?

The man stood with his back straight during the phone call. The corners of his sleeves were whipping elegantly in the breeze, depicting him as an aloof figure.

“Mr. Xie Xiu, when are you coming to City A? I’m waiting for you.” He scrunched his brows while listening to Xiao Qingqing’s voice from the phone.

“Please come as early as you can.”

Just as she intended to have a conversation with the man, he cut her off listlessly, “I have some business to take care of, talk soon.”

Finished what he had to say, he hung up the phone right away.

Xie Xiu then returned to Mu Zhi, who raised her head to meet his gaze. It just struck her that it was strange that they had not introduced each other despite having had a chat.

Thus, she introduced herself to the man, “I’m Mu Zhi, how do I address you?”

“Xie Xiu.”
