Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Come, I Will Tell You the Truth

Mu Zhi didn’t know how to respond Lu Jinye.

She stretched out her hand and rubbed her right cheek. After pondering briefly, she replied, “So, you know everything?”

“What?”

Mu Zhi smiled embarrassedly, “I… I’m sorry.”

For giving your true love a box on the ear.

Mu Zhi didn’t express her train of thought. She simply kept mum about it.

In fact, Mu Zhi would never have fought with Xiao Qingqing according to her nature, but she didn’t know why she couldn’t keep her calm this time.

However, Lu Jinye didn’t seem to blame Mu Zhi at all. He merely instructed, “Get yourself some ointment and apply on it.”

“Understood.”

After that, Mu Zhi wanted to hang up.

Before she bade goodbye, an adorable girl’s voice suddenly sounded aloud, “You all are talking nonsense! My dad! My dad is the king of the forest!”

“…”

Mu Zhi was so frightened that she hung up the phone.

She quickly turned around and looked at Mu Xiaomu, only to see the little girl’s eyes tightly closed. But the expression on her face was stubbornly fierce, as if in a fight with someone.

Mu Zhi couldn’t help but smile.

She reached out and smoothened Mu Xiaomu’s deeply knitted brows, and then sent another text message to Lu Jinye, ‘The colleague’s child was sleep talking.’

Lu Jinye replied, ‘No need to explain. I wouldn’t assume that you’re hiding a kid.’

Looking at this sentence, Mu Zhi simply replied, ‘Honey, you naughty boy!’

Lu Jinye didn’t reply, so Mu Zhi put her phone back into her pocket, and then turned around to continue watching over Mu Xiaomu.

She considered Jian Xiaoning’s suggestion. What if she went and found Mu Xiaomu’s father?

That night, Mu Zhi slept on it.

The next morning, when Mu Zhi woke up, she took Mu Xiaomu to wash her face. After climbing back onto the hospital bed to read, a man suddenly knocked on the door of Mu Xiaomu’s ward.

He looked neat and clean, and slightly older than Mu Zhi. He wore a pair of gold-framed glasses, and looked like a typical doctor NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

He had some fruits and flowers in one hand, and a whole set of Barbie dolls in another.

“Hello? Excuse me…”

Mu Zhi looked around. There was only Mu Xiaomu and her in the ward now. The kid in the other bed had moved wards last night.

She didn’t know this man… So she thought he had gone to the wrong ward.

However, the man only pushed his glasses up his nose and smiled. He walked towards Mu Zhi, stretched his hand out and shook her hand.

Mu Zhi was even more embarrassed from his gallantry.

“Hello, you must be Doctor Mu Zhi, my name is Cui Dawei.”

“Hi, I’m Mu Zhi.”

Mu Zhi blinked and quickly glanced at the man in front of her.

“I am a doctor in the Hospital of Paediatric. I met Jian Xiaoning at a seminar.”

“So, are you here for Xiaoning?”

Mu Zhi was even more puzzled, “Xiaoning has gone to City Z for a meeting.”

“No… Dr. Mu, you have misunderstood, I’m here for you.”

“For me?”

Mu Zhi was even more dazed. She had no idea what this man was trying to achieve.

However, the man did not rush to explain. He took his time. Pushing his glasses for the third time, he said, “I am a graduate of China Medical University with a master’s degree. I am 34 years old this year, widowed and childless.”

“Oh.”

Mu Zhi felt awkward.

She initially wanted to wait for Cui Dawei to finish his words, but she did not have the patience to do so. Thus, she gritted her teeth and asked, “Then Dr. Cui, why are you here?”

“For a blind date. Would you like to introduce yourself, Dr. Mu?”

He looked at Mu Zhi solemnly.

Mu Zhi finally understood now that she heard him ask this. Jian Xiaoning had arranged a blind date for her!

“Er… There must be a misunderstanding here.”

Mu Zhi contemplated for a while and then said, “I think I’m… Not ready…”

Before Mu Zhi could finish explaining herself, the sound of hasty heels clicking approached from afar, hinting at once a strong murderous atmosphere.

The person barged straight into Mu Zhi’s ward and opened the door. When Mu Zhi could recognize that it was Xu Changshu, she was already slapped on the face by her!

Mu Zhi felt pain on her face instantly!

When she tried to return the favor, Xu Changshu’s bodyguard grabbed her hand and shook it off.

Only then did Xu Changshu speak, “Miss Mu, as a married woman, please have some self-respect for yourself! Must women like you pester our family forever?”

“What do you mean? You better ask Junnian who the hound is!”

“Huh! I really don’t know what measures women like you use to make my son reject a perfect marriage for you.”

“I’m telling you Mu Zhi! I’ve never and will never let a person as lowly as you come into my household!”

Mu Zhi completely understood now. More and more people gathered around to watch, and Mu Xiaomu who was aside had started crying in fear after witnessing the melodrama.

Mu Zhi didn’t even respond to Xu Changshu, as if these words weren’t for her at all. She turned around, calmly picked up Mu Xiaomu, and then strode towards Dawei.

“Dr. Cui, can you help me take care of this patient? Bring her for a walk in the garden.”

Although it was only the first time Mu Zhi met Cui Dawei, according to her understanding of Jian Xiaoning, Cui Dawei’s character was probably trustworthy.

She can be rest assured that he would take good care of Mu Xiaomu.

Mu Xiaomu had been crying, but she had always been very sensible since young. Only after having Mu Xiaomu coaxed and she had gone out with Cui Dawei did Mu Zhi slowly turned around.

However, this time, as soon as she turned around, the expression on her face transformed to be cold and grim.

She quietly walked to Xu Changshu’s side. Eyes fixed at Xu Changshu, she picked up the phone and called the receptionist.

“Mr. Lu needs bodyguards at this instance. Have them come to ward 301 of the Paediatric Department of the First Hospital.”

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Then she looked at Xu Changshu in disdain.

“I’m telling you, it’s no use calling your bodyguards.”

“Relax and fret not, the bodyguards are not coming to teach you a lesson, they’ll be here just so you’d restrain yourself and speak properly.”

“You!”

Xu Changshu trembled with anger and tried to deal a blow to Mu Zhi again.

Mu Zhi took two steps back this time. Then she spoke.

“Since you wanted a dispute, we might as well clear the air. But having just the two of us is not sufficient …”

After saying this, Mu Zhi picked up the phone and dialed another number.

She summarized, “Junnian, I’m now in Ward 301 of the First Hospital. Come here right now and I shall tell you the truth about why I married Lu Jinye!”
