Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 289 She Is with Xie Xiu

After the host’s announcement, Mu Zhi cast her gaze at the commotion only to see a woman, decked up in a dazzling Spanish red dress, walking up to her.

She rocked a dark, smokey makeup, but it did not overshadow her glowing charms. Her appearance seemed to have instantly caught the eyes of every man in attendance.

While everyone was admiring her beauty, the cocktail host introduced with a chuckle, “Ever since Miss Xiao is married to the chairman, Lu Jinye, we could hardly see Miss Xiao gracing different banquets with her presence. Coincidentally, I had the pleasure of running into her during a press conference today.”

“Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing were known to show up in public in pairs. But interestingly, Mr. Lu wasn’t around. I informed Xiao Qingqing of the cocktail party, and she agreed to come.”

At the sound of Xiao Qingqing’s name, Xie Xiu managed to maintain his poise, but he had reached out for Mu Zhi’s hand and gradually brought it towards him.

Then, he approached the host to say, “I’ve just remembered that I have something to attend to, please excuse me.”

“Miss Xiao will be performing a song tonight, it’s a rare opportunity, do you think…”

Before the host could finish his words, Xie Xiu had left, bringing Mu Zhi along.

Mu Zhi was following closely behind him as she asked, “Who is this Xiao Qingqing lady? Is she a superstar? Otherwise, why is it difficult to invite her?”

“With every man fixing their eyes at her, she must be a stunning character. Honey, don’t you want to stay for her performance?”

“In my eyes, nobody is as stunning as you.”

Xie Xiu responded with a stern face.

However, as soon as he finished those words, the voice of a woman arose, “Mu Zhi?”

The voice sounded familiar to Mu Zhi, but she did not recognize the name. Thus, she did not turn back.

Then, the woman started walking up to her in a series of anxious footsteps.

She seized Mu Zhi’s hands and said delightfully, “You’re still alive, that’s great!”
