Falling for the Contract Bride

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 classmates 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’t compatible.”

“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 old complications tend to dwell even during a remarriage.”

So, this was why.

Mu Zhi became more at ease.

She wanted to explain 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 flag down a cab easily here. I can’t send you back to the company 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 flagged 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.
