Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 330

Chapter 330 You Are the Best Gift

“Tell me.” Mu Zhi sat on the sofa. She gazed up at Xie Xiu seriously, waiting for him to start telling the story. Xie Xiu was smart. He knew that once a lie was told, more lies would be needed to cover the first lie.

Therefore, Xie Xiu chose to tell the truth about everything except for his relationship with Mu Zhi. “When Rao Xue came to me, she developed feelings for me, and you found out. I have always rejected her, but when we had contacts at work, we slept together.”

When Mu Zhi heard that, she was surprised that she felt indifferent.

It was an odd feeling that she could not describe.

“Then, Rao Xue kidnapped you in the hope that she could get my love and attention, but to no avail. Later, you lost your memory when she kidnapped you again. And after I found you, I sent someone to go after Rao Xue to avenge for you.”

“Unfortunately, Rao Xue had been trained before, so she is very skilled. None of the people I sent out were her opponents.”

“How about the building?”

Mu Zhi looked at Xie Xiu and asked.

Xie Xiu replied bluntly, “It was where I trained her.”

There were things about Xie Xiu that Mu Zhi knew, such as Xie Xiu being a killer in the past.

In her understanding, it was acceptable to be a gang leader.

However, Mu Zhi felt a little sad after hearing what Xie Xiu had to say.

She was sad because she could not understand why Xie Xiu decided to hide the truth from her.

“So? Why didn’t you tell me before? You’ve always talked about how happy we were.”

“Because, after you were kidnapped, it was a painful process trying to retrieve your memories. Then I gave up. I hope you can fall in love with me again and be by my side. I just want you to be happy now.”

Xie Xiu paused while speaking, and then continued, “It was selfish of me.”

“Okay. I see…”

Mu Zhi did not want to listen anymore.

It never occurred to her that she would forgive Xie Xiu so easily.

Just because of what he said in the end, it was all because of his selfishness.

She understood being selfishly in love.

Therefore, Mu Zhi rubbed her aching temples and said to Xie Xiu, “I’m tired. I want to rest now.”

“Do you think that you knowing the past events will affect our relationship?”

Xie Xiu looked at Mu Zhi and asked.

Mu Zhi stopped her steps towards the first floor. She looked back at Xie Xiu and said, “It won’t.”

After saying that, Mu Zhi headed upstairs.

After watching Mu Zhi go upstairs, Xie Xiu returned to his room and closed the door immediately.

He took out his phone and called Rao Xue.

“Rao Xue, let’s meet up.”

“You want to meet up? Are you anxious now?”

Rao Xue squeaked like a Halloween ghost on the other end of the phone.

“Tell me the location and I’ll find you.” Xie Xiu’s gaze was as scary as a devil.

“Xiang Jiang Avenue. No. 223.”

Rao Xue immediately ended the call after telling the location.

…

The next day when Mu Zhi woke up, she had made peace with what Xie Xiu had told her the night before.

She could not be too bothered about her past with Xie Xiu.

Over the years, Xie Xiu had tolerated her illness, so Mu Zhi would also guard their marriage.

She could stay by Xie Xiu’s side as long he did not step over the line.

When Mu Zhi came down, Eric was having breakfast, so Mu Zhi sat opposite of him.

During breakfast, Eric suddenly proposed to visit Lu Jinye.

“What do we go there for?”

Mu Zhi was cutting the sunny-side-up egg. She raised her head to look at Eric and asked.

“Mommy, he saved our lives. We should thank him for saving us.” Eric said.

Mu Zhi suddenly remembered that she did not have the chance to thank Lu Jinye as she left in a hurry.

She was in great shock after the incident.

After giving it a thought, Mu Zhi looked at Eric and said, “Go and clean up after breakfast. Mommy will go with you.”

“Okay.”

There was a smile on Eric’s face. He had been waiting for his mom’s approval.

He must create more opportunities for his daddy and mommy to get along with each other.

After breakfast, Mu Zhi and Eric went to Lu Jinye’s house.

When approaching Lu Jinye’s house, Mu Zhi stopped by to buy some fruits.

Mu Zhi did not know what to buy for Lu Jinye as she thought he did not need anything. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Therefore, she thought of buying fruits to express her gratitude.

It was early in the morning when they arrived at Lu Jinye’s house. Mu Zhi slowly followed Eric into the house. Lu Jinye was making coffee. Seeing Mu Zhi and Eric, Lu Jinye greeted them and urged them to take a seat.

Then he handed Mu Zhi a cup of coffee.

Mu Zhi took over the coffee. The fresh aroma of coffee woke her up instantly.

She took a sip of coffee and said, “Thank you, Mr. Lu. Eric and I are here to express our gratitude.”

Lu Jinye glanced at Mu Zhi’s gift and then at Mu Zhi. He said, “This gift is not sincere at all.”

Mu Zhi was slightly stunned by his words. She thought that Lu Jinye disliked the gift she bought as it was too cheap.

So, she looked at Lu Jinye and said ambiguously.

“I don’t know what Mr. Lu likes, so… I didn’t know what to buy.”

“You don’t need to give me any gifts. The only gift I want is you.”

Eric was not by his side when Lu Jinye said that. His gaze was glued on Mu Zhi when he flirted, making Mu Zhi shy and annoyed at the same time.

“I thank Mr. Lu for saving our lives, but please have some self-respect.”

Mu Zhi did not want to talk to Lu Jinye after saying that.

She sat on the sofa instead.

At that moment, Eric came out of the toilet, and asked Lu Jinye, “Are we going to start investigating the Organization Z?”

“Yes, we are.”

In front of Eric, Lu Jinye suddenly became serious, not as frivolous as he was with Mu Zhi a moment ago.

Mu Zhi saw that Eric and Lu Jinye seemed to be getting down to business, so she did not interfere. She sat aside and wanted to read a book.
