Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 247 Barbecue Lamb Skewers and Sushi Pairing

Jian Xiaoning came over next to Mu Xiaomu and squatted down to her height, caressing her head. “Who taught you this?”

“I’m shocked. How does a little girl like you know about getting a girlfriend?”

“Shall I matchmake you with Liang Jieyi?”

Hearing those words, Mu Xiaomu instantly became red in the face. She hurriedly turned her face to Mu Zhi, “Mommy, what is Mama Xiaoning talking about?”

She started pretending to be naïve again.

Jian Xiaoning smirked at Mu Xiaomu, then said to Mu Zhi, “I think you could consider my suggestion.”

“Enough.”

Mu Zhi glanced at Jian Xiaoning, “I think you should hurry up and settle down with Xu Se.”

Jian Xiaoning immediately switched topics at the sound of Xu Se’s name. “Oh right, let me bring you around. We can talk about the new doctor who just started working here.”

However, Mu Zhi appeared to be constantly distracted.

After her mother was admitted to the hospital, there was a time she would visit the old folks’ home, hoping to plant some ‘karma seeds’ so mom’s condition would get better.

At the time, Mu Zhi’s most significant lesson was that the old people were miserable when they were alone.

She agreed with Mu Xiaomu’s description. Perhaps, Master Lu was too lonely.

She thought briefly before sending a text to Lu Jinye, telling him to visit Master Lu at the Lu’s Manor at night.

After chattering with Jian Xiaoning for a while, Mu Zhi hastily left the hospital.

She brought Mu Xiaomu with her to the nearest supermarket for some groceries. Then, she sent Lu Yunxi a message, inviting him for a barbecue at the manor in the evening.
