Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Belly-ache

Lu Jinye understood Mu Zhi’s concerns. He gently placed both hands on her shoulders, stared into her eyes fixedly, and said, “Not only do I want to give Xiaomu a home, but I also want to give you a home too.”

Mu Zhi looked at Lu Jinye.

It was rare for him to express his feelings. She could not sense anything odd from his facial expression.

She wouldn’t notice it even if a man like him tried to deceive her.

Thus, Mu Zhi turned her face away.

She drew a quiet, deep breath, turned around, and walked towards the window, opening it to air the room. She desperately needed a breath of fresh air.

Lu Jinye watched her for a long while before slowly headed towards her, “What are your worries?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Before Mu Zhi could respond, Lu Jinye’s phone went off.

He lowered his head to glance at the screen. It was from Master Lu. So, he promptly answered it.

The butler came from the phone, “Master wishes to see you, he’s just been discharged from the hospital.”

Lu Jinye looked at Mu Zhi reluctantly, then responded, “Got it, I’m on my way.”

After hanging up the call, he came next to Mu Zhi, “I need to visit master Lu, can you please wait for me?”

Mu Zhi raised her head to gaze at him. She was hesitant but ultimately nodded at him.

Lu Jinye embraced her before leaving.

Meanwhile, after he left, Mu Zhi slowly moved towards the couch and turned on the TV, hoping to distract herself.

Then, the sound of the doorbell nudged her back to her senses.

Who could be visiting at this hour?

Mu Zhi was dumbfounded. She swiftly headed to the door and found out that Xiao Qingqing was standing outside. She faltered and opened the door. Without inviting her in, Mu Zhi asked, “Miss Xiao, how can I help you?”

Xiao Qingqing chuckled, “Am I not allowed to visit you? Secretary Mu, I must say that your schemes are admirable!”

It was a breezy night. The bottom of Xiao Qingqing’s white veil skirt floated in the air from the listless breeze. Her facial complexion looked pale and feeble. Mu Zhi could not tell whether it was the lack of light or makeup that gave Xiao Qingqing that appearance.

Standing in the windy night, it felt like Xiao Qingqing might be blown away at any moment.

Mu Zhi then glimpsed at the lounge and invited Xiao Qingqing into the house, “Miss Xiao, come in. It’s windy out there, let’s talk inside.”

Xiao Qingqing uttered a snort. She replied with a scornful expression, “There’s no need, we can stand here. Miss Mu, I don’t like it when you’re bragging your position as the hostess.”

Mu Zhi would normally sympathize with Xiao Qingqing.

But her attitude made it difficult for Mu Zhi to keep her heart compassionate.

Mu Zhi sighed helplessly, “Never mind, if you insist to stand by the door, then make it quick in case you catch a cold.”

“You don’t need to show concern for me! Stop pretending to be a kind person after seizing Lu Jinye from me! That’s disgusting!”

Xiao Qingqing bellowed maliciously.

Mu Zhi stared at Xiao Qingqing while biting her lower lip. She could understand the hatred coming from Xiao Qingqing. After all, members of the media crowded her wedding day and she was a public figure.

Even these were not the case; any woman would be upset when their groom fled from their wedding.

Thus, Mu Zhi did not retaliate against Xiao Qingqing.

However, seeing as Mu Zhi kept mum, Xiao Qingqing became increasingly enraged, “Miss Mu, how do you manage to enchant Jinye? Is it with your skills in bed? I can’t think of any other reason. How do you compare to the years of relationship Jinye and I have been in? Besides, your life choices are rather intriguing.”

“Seeing that you’re willing to set aside Lu Junnian, who is madly in love with you, and insist on seizing someone who belongs to others!”

Her jeering pushed Mu Zhi over her limits.

She clenched her fists uncontrollably, then drew a deep breath before glaring at Xiao Qingqing. “Miss Xiao, I understand that you’re filled with hatred. Things are not as simple as you think they are. Also, I hope you could watch your words.”

“Haha!” Xiao Qingqing responded with a fit of menacing laugh.

“What did I say to offend you? About your life choices? Your skills in bed? I think these are nothing but the truth, it fits right in with you!”

Mu Zhi frowned slightly. She could not be bothered to waste another second on Xiao Qingqing. She glanced at the darkness behind Xiao Qingqing and snapped, “Miss Xiao, it’s late. I suppose you came for Lu Jinye, but he’s not around. Feel free to give him a call. If there’s nothing else you need, I shall leave you here.”

Mu Zhi had a hand on the door and she was just about to shut it.

However, Xiao Qingqing suddenly leaped forward and jammed her fingers in between the door gap. “Miss Mu, don’t be too anxious to close the door. Don’t you think that it makes you look guilty?”

Mu Zhi could feel steam shooting out of her ears.

She was out of rational words!

She was even wondering to herself what was the right expression to wear!

But all of a sudden, Xiao Qingqing scrunched her forehead like she was in excruciating pain. She muttered, “Ahh, it hurts, Dr. Mu, why does my belly hurt so bad?”

Mu Zhi was not a gynecologist, but she was certain that sudden sharp pain was bad news for Xiao Qingqing.

Mu Zhi did not have the heart to ignore Xiao Qingqing, despite how unlikeable she was.

She reached out to support Xiao Qingqing before she fell, then said, “Hurry up and come in, let me take a look at you. Which part of your belly is hurting?”

However, the instance Mu Zhi came in contact with Xiao Qingqing, Xiao Qingqing viciously tried to shake her off.

She took two flurried steps backwards, staggered for balance, and stumbled to the ground.

Mu Zhi was perturbed at the sight.

While Xiao Qingqing screamed, “Call the ambulance, quick, I beg you, Dr. Mu, please call the ambulance at once!”

Mu Zhi hastily called the ambulance and within moments, the ambulance arrived at the scene. Mu Zhi followed the paramedics into the ambulance to ensure Xiao Qingqing was fine.

But Xiao Qingqing burst into tears, crying, “Mu Zhi, please, don’t come along!”

Mu Zhi could only oblige.

She was certain that there was no blood coming from Xiao Qingqing when she was brought into the ambulance on a stretcher. Thus, it was unlikely that she would suffer from a miscarriage.

At that thought, Mu Zhi was slightly more relieved.

However, little did she expect that after Xiao Qingqing was sent away in the ambulance, she would open her browser to learn that she was the top search on the browser!

Moreover, all of the captions related to her were bewildering!
