Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 217 Tolerant Towards My Loved Ones

Mu Zhi raised her head all of a sudden. When she met Xie Xiu’s eyes, she paused briefly. She stopped for a second from taking the fish, and told Xie Xiu, “It is mouth-watering. Do try some. I can’t use my chopsticks to get for you, help yourself.”

Xie Xiu did not respond nor move his chopsticks. He only held up his glass and drank half a glass of his lemon water.

At this time, Xie Xiu’s secretary walked slowly into the room.

She was not afraid to hide her irritation by the thick pungent smell of grilled fish as soon as she entered the room. She covered her nose for a moment.

Grilled fish, hotpot, and Yunnan Bridge Noodles were more or less similar to each other. It smelled good and exceptionally appetizing when you are the one eating it.

But if you were only a spectator, it would smell pungent and irritable.

Whenever one had grilled fish or hotpot, one must clean himself from head to toe properly after that.

The smell was too thick and long lasting!

The secretary looked fixedly at Xie Xiu and walked towards him. She leaned over and whispered into Xie Xiu’s ear with a straight face. Mu Zhi sat opposite, so she could not hear what the secretary had said.

She did not want to know what they were talking about either.

She only noticed Xie Xiu nodding his head as a sign of acknowledgment. Then, he beckoned his secretary to leave.

However, at this moment, the secretary frowned disapprovingly.

She picked up an extra pair of chopsticks to stop Mu Zhi from taking another piece of fish. Mu Zhi could not take the fish as she was not as strong as the secretary. Her chopsticks were stuck in between the secretary’s.

“Miss, we could order another fish if you’d like to sit together and have some.”

Mu Zhi raised her lips and sneered.

“You are doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Coming to this sort of place and even using chopsticks to eat this sort of food!”

“What do you mean this sort of food? It’s grilled fish.”

The grilled fish was completely covered with red chili. It looked so spicy that just by the smell, one knew that it was fiery hot that it could arouse the epithelium of the tongue.

Zhi thought the secretary meant that she shouldn’t have brought Xie Xiu for such a spicy dish, so she replied simply with an
