Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 113 I No Longer Deserve Your Protection

It was destined to be a sleepless night.

The moment Mu Zhi saw Xu Changshu’s face came at the door of her ward, she had the impulse to pack up and leave the hospital. But it was all too late.

All she could do was lift her eyelids, catch a glimpse of Xu Changshu, and when she ascertained that Xu Changshu was walking into the ward, she immediately shut her eyes.

She made it obvious that she did not want to be bothered by Xu Changshu.

Meanwhile, Xu Changshu cleared her throat lightly, slowly approached Mu Zhi, pulled out a chair, and sat next to Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi was desperately keeping her eyes shut, pretending to sleep. But the aura coming over her was exigent.

After a long moment, before she would crack her eyes open, Xu Changshu first opened her mouth.

“Mu Zhi, let’s talk.”

Mu Zhi said nothing.

But Xu Changshu continued to speak. The tone in her voice was different from her usual dominance. She was speaking in a harmonious tone that was never heard before.

“Just give me a price or conditions, as long as you will leave Lu Junnian.”

Xu Changshu sighed lightly and gently, “Junnian is unaware about your daughter, but I am. If I leak this information to the public, it isn’t going to do you any good.”

While the former part of the sentence was said gently, her tone became increasingly menacing towards the latter.

“So, are you threatening me again?”

Mu Zhi mutter in a hostile tone. She had never had a good impression of Xu Changshu. Hence there was no intention to waste too much time on her.

In response, Xu Changshu chuckled softly, “If I had the intention to publicize it, I’d be done by now, I wouldn’t be negotiating with you right now.”
