Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 69 Honey!

If Mu Zhi had followed the butler around the house, it might just be screaming the truth to him without duress.

So, she took the liberty to grab half a watermelon from the fridge along with a juicer to make watermelon juice.

Pretending to be carefree, Mu Zhi took multiple sips at the juice as she asked, “Sir, do you want some? It’s quite a hot day today.”

The butler responded with a light headshake and said with a smile, “Madam, no thank you.”

He headed to the bathroom as he spoke. When he came out, he asked Mu Zhi indifferently, “Madam, haven’t you been staying with Young Master Jinye lately?”

“What do you mean?”

Mu Zhi stared at the butler suspiciously.

The butler replied, “The necessities in the bathroom belong to Young Master Jinye alone, and they’re covered in dust. It means Young Master Jinye hasn’t returned home in a while.”

The butler’s sharp gaze hovered around Mu Zhi’s body, sizing her up. Despite the hot water, Mu Zhi felt a shudder from his actions.

Mu Zhi chuckled awkwardly, “Oh, I… I’ve been staying at the hotel with Jinye lately.”

She responded quickly, “As you know, I work at the hospital now, and it’s quite far from this villa, so I feel like staying somewhere closer, you know, it’s a hassle to wake up early in the morning.”

She explained, “So, Jinye and I stay at a nearby hotel from work, we’re currently shopping for a new home.”

Her explanation seemed to have joined the dots.

Mu Zhi noticed less doubt on the butler’s face, despite his squinted eyes telling her that he was suspicious!

It was such a wise maneuver by Master Lu. Not only did he observe her behavior, he even sent his butler home to check on them.

As Master Lu’s servant, the butler was bound to learn a trick or two from him.

Mu Zhi paused for a moment, bit the bullet, and said, “Do… You want to take a look at the hotel?”

“It’s fine.”
