Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 178 Mr Xie, When Are You Coming to City A?

The man stood with his back straight during the phone call. The corners of his sleeves were whipping elegantly in the breeze, depicting him as an aloof figure.

“Mr. Xie Xiu, when are you coming to City A? I’m waiting for you.” He scrunched his brows while listening to Xiao Qingqing’s voice from the phone.

And then replied with a frown, “I’ll find you when I’m in town.”

“Please come as early as you can.”

Just as she intended to have a conversation with the man, he cut her off listlessly, “I have some business to take care of, talk soon.”

Finished what he had to say, he hung up the phone right away.

Xie Xiu then returned to Mu Zhi, who raised her head to meet his gaze. It just struck her that it was strange that they had not introduced each other despite having had a chat.

Thus, she introduced herself to the man, “I’m Mu Zhi, how do I address you?”

“Xie Xiu.”

Mu Zhi nodded when she heard the name.

She suspected that the man had a lineage from Nation Z based on his features.

“We were cut off by the call, let me carry on with my story.”

Mu Zhi did not say anything in response. She was listening to him attentively.

Xie Xiu threw his gaze at the scenery afar and suddenly turned to Mu Zhi, asking out of the blue, “Do you think I look like a cold-blooded murderer?”

Mu Zhi looked at Xie Xiu. There was a lonely ambiance that clung onto him. He did not look like a murderer at all.

Murderers tended to look cold and had an arrogant air hovering around them.

Thus, Mu Zhi shook her head.
