Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 255 We’re Getting Married Nonetheless

Xie Xiu threw a malicious glance at Xiao Qingqing with squinted eyes and did not bother saying a word.

He found his seat insouciantly and started setting up for tea-brewing.

Xiao Qingqing chuckled, seeing that Xie Xiu remained silent. Her baby bump was clearly protruding at this point. One could easily tell that she was pregnant.

“As a friend, I shall remind you that Lu Jinye isn’t as simple as he seems. Although he keeps a low profile and doesn’t look vicious to you… He is in fact a ferocious leopard which would rip a tiger apart through sheer tenacity!”

“It’s late, Miss Xiao, please make your way home.”

“Our collaboration ends here. There’s no need to keep in touch anymore.”

Xie Xiu’s decisiveness told Xiao Qingqing that he had no plan of seeing her again.

She looked at Xie Xiu in disbelief. Upon taking a closer look at his adamance, she reluctantly put her emotions away and started heading out.

She left in dejection.

What’s so good about Mu Zhi?

Not only was Lu Jinye crazy over this bitch, but Xie Xiu was also eager to jump into her protection.

Throughout their arrangements, there were numerous opportunities to kill Mu Zhi, but Xie Xiu had been secretly ensuring that she could make it out alive!

After returning home, Xiao Qingqing immediately started with her preparation. She drew the fake Mu Xianyong away in case complications arose!

After all, Mu Xianyong was merely a bait. He was responsible for arousing curiosity towards the past, then slowly but surely… Blow the issue out of proportion.

At that thought, Xiao Qingqing could not help but draw a deep breath! This was the reason Xie Xiu was formidable!

Meanwhile… The Lu’s Manor was undergoing a sleepless night.

Every member of the manor was gathered in the same room because Lu Jinye and Mu Zhi’s wedding fell on the next day.

Lu Yunxi paced the lounge area anxiously, checked the time on the wall clock, glanced at his watch, then looked at his phone.

Looking at the flurry of actions from Lu Yunxi, the butler became nervous too. He said, “Young Master Yunxi, stop fooling around, please think of something, you’ve always been a clever man since you were little.”
