Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 339

Chapter 339 There’s Something Unusual Between You and Mr Lu

Mu Zhi could not understand why she had always reacted so strongly when it comes to Lu Jinye. Everyone swarmed to her as if they have heard the biggest gossip of the century.

They all looked at Mu Zhi curiously with wide eyes and asked, “Is that true?” Mu Zhi nodded earnestly

At that moment, the voice of the general manager appeared behind her, “You, be careful with what you say. Do not create rumors!”

Mu Zhi was shocked by the voice behind her and turned around to face the general manager.

At the same time, she had also seen Lu Jinye standing beside her boss.

Mu Zhi felt a little embarrassed seeing him.

After all, the main character of her gossip had suddenly appeared before her.

The colleagues who were listening to her story quickly returned to their place. Only Mu Zhi was left behind to face Lu Jinye.

Mu Zhi took a glance at Lu Jinye and immediately returned to her seat. She pretended to be working.

“Which of your friends went to the motel with me? How does she look? Can you describe her?”

He looked at her with amusement in his eyes and was smiling playfully.

Mu Zhi stared at him. She pulled her chair even closed to her table, intending to block him from her sight.

Which friend… How could she tell him?

She could not say that it was herself.

However, if she did not say anything, everyone would think that she was lying.

Mu Zhi looked at Lu Jinye and had a sudden idea. She said to him, “Mr. Lu, you should know clearly what you have done.”

“I don’t. Would you like to elaborate on it?”

At the mention of the word details, Mu Zhi blushed instantly.

The details from that day… She and Lu Jinye were swept away by their emotions, and Lu Jinye almost had her.

Just thinking about that made her very embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye was still staring at her with playfulness in his eyes.

He fixed his gaze on her and said, “Why? Is there a problem? Did your friend not tell you the details?”

Mu Zhi glared at him and said, “Forget it, I will not go into the details. I don’t want to get you in trouble with your wife. If you want to know the details, I can arrange for a day to bring my friend to your house and explain the details to you and your wife.”

While mentioning Mr. Lu’s wife, Mu Zhi emphasized it.

She was warning Lu Jinye to stop cheating on his wife.

Understanding her implied warning, Lu Jinye raised his eyebrow and his mouth quirked into a smile. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

He deliberately leaned near her ear and said softly so that only she could hear, “Why? Are you jealous after finding out that I am married?”

His breath brushed her ear gently.

His tone caused a shiver through her body.

There was a tingling sensation throughout her whole body.

It felt as if there was static all over her.

She took a glance at Lu Jinye and decided to back away.

After that, Lu Jinye moved away from her side with a smug smile on his face.

Mu Zhi stood rooted to her spot and watched Lu Jinye’s retreating profile. Her face was still hot with embarrassment.

Lu Jinye, you bastard.

After he had left, her colleagues quickly surrounded her and asked, “Ann, you know Lu Jinye?’

“Why does it seem like there is something unusual between the both of you?”

“What did he whisper to you just now?”

Mu Zhi did not know what to answer them. Her thoughts were disorganized.

It was because Lu Jinye had approached her suddenly and disturbed her thoughts.

It was also because Lu Jinye teased her and caused her heart to beat faster.

Also, having found out unexpectedly that Lu Jinye was married had rendered her uncertain about what to do. She wondered why she cared so much about a piece of news that had nothing to do with her.

Thinking of these, Mu Zhi felt troubled.

As she faced her colleagues, Mu Zhi shook her head and said, “Nothing, there’s nothing between us.”

After that, Mu Zhi refused to say anything else.

At that moment, the general manager had returned after sending Lu Jinye off. As he went past Mu Zhi, everyone thought that he was going to scold her. After all, Mu Zhi’s rumor was damaging to the company’s biggest investor. They felt that she was asking for it.

However, no one expected what the general manager had said to Mu Zhi, “Ann, from today on, take the seat next to the window. I will make you the group leader of Group One. Once you have finished your training, I will arrange another position for you.”

With that, the general manager went into his office.

Everyone was shocked. Mu Zhi was shocked too!

What was going on? How could she be promoted after speaking badly about Lu Jinye?

This… Mu Zhi must have an influential background.

A few people came to congratulate Mu Zhi and wanted to understand the real reason behind her promotion.

Meanwhile, a few people came to mock her, saying, “Humph, some people really have it easy, getting promoted so soon even before the training has completed and being put in charge when they know nothing. This is so unfair.”

They did not even bother hiding their mockery.

A colleague named Tian Xinran went to Mu Zhi and said with a friendly smile, “Ann, let me bring you to your new seat. I will help you to tidy up. You don’t have to worry about those people. You graduated

from such a good university, you deserve to be the team leader.”

As she spoke, she pulled Mu Zhi away and brought her to her newly assigned seat.

Meanwhile, far from her table, a woman lifted her head and glanced at her before looking down again.

She quickly typed into her chat box, “Disgusting, promoted through unsavory means.”

Soon, there was a reply, “Xiao Qing, isn’t Xiao Qingqing your cousin? You can speak to your cousin, and Lu Jinye will promote you too!”

“With such a powerful brother-in-law, why don’t you make use of it?”

The woman named Xiao Qing looked up and glanced at Mu Zhi again before replying, “I rely on my abilities and not my body. There must be something unsavory between her and Lu Jinye.”

“Unsavory dealings!”

With that, Xiao Qing did not continue the conversation.

Her eyes were focused on Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi sat down at her desk and tidied up her things for a while. After that, she took a look at the list of members of her team.

The assistant leader for group one was Xiao Qing.

She stood up and went to say hi to Xiao Qing.
