Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 224 Will You Be Mine Soon

Coming down from the car, Mu Zhi could barely stand let alone walk. She took some time putting herself together before going into the mansion.

Xie Xiu had a team of full-fledged private doctors at his disposal but he insisted Mu Zhi to tend to him in person. It was no doubt he had made his motive obvious.

Of course Secretary Rao knew his plan.

Before entering the room with Secretary Rao, Mu Zhi quickly tidied up her unkempt appearance to look more presentable.

Upon entering the room, Xie Xiu took a glance at Mu Zhi and immediately lashed out at Secretary Rao who was standing next to Mu Zhi, “What are you doing, Rao Xue? Who do you think you are?!”

By now Xie Xiu had turned livid with rage. Disgruntlement instantaneously encompassed the room.

Mu Zhi was aghast and her heartbeat raced. She had no idea what was happening.

The beautiful and slender Rao Xue was upset. She confronted, “There are so many women in this world, I don’t know why…”

“Shut up and leave!”

Without waiting for Rao Xue to complete her sentence, Xie Xiu raised his voice.

“I…”

Rao Xue attempted to explain, but Xie Xiu pointed at the door signaling her to leave. He did not want to see Rao Xue in the room.

Rao Xue shut up and immediately exited the room.

Mu Zhi figured the reason Xie Xiu threw a fit at Yao Xue was in favor of her.

“Mr. Xie, actually…”

Mu Zhi tried to salvage compassion for Rao Xue but Xie Xiu was not in the mood for discussion.

“Let us not discuss about these things.” He asked Mu Zhi to not talk about it anymore.
