Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 181 Letting You Take a Look at the Background of Your Partner

Mu Zhi headed straight for Lu Jinye’s office.

Since Lu Jinye had Linda send her a message, that meant he must have left the restaurant at this point.

True enough, Linda was expecting Mu Zhi by the time she arrived at the company. Linda had a doleful expression on her face, telling Mu Zhi that she desperately needed rescue.

Mu Zhi noticed Linda’s expression, “What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Linda tactfully ushered Mu Zhi into the building and whispered, “The Lu Group is facing a bottleneck lately, so Mr. Lu has been showing a hot temper. Watch what you say later, don’t trigger him, or… We’re going to have a tough time later.”

Mu Zhi glanced at Linda. She had no clue what Lu Jinye was going to say to her and she had not exactly been on good terms with Lu Jinye lately, but she obliged to Linda’s pleading.

They strode towards the entrance to Lu Jinye’s office.

Linda came to an abrupt halt before his door and let Mu Zhi enter alone.

Mu Zhi knocked on the door. Upon hearing Lu Jinye’s invitation to enter, she nonchalantly opened the door and headed in.

Lu Jinye was sitting by his desk, where piles of documents stacked like little mountains. Lowering his head with a scowl, he seemed to be deeply troubled.

It was the first time they met each other since their last unpleasant encounter at the hospital.

During which, they spoke on the phone twice. But they were ignorant of each other’s troubles during both times. So, the calls ended up with them butting heads spitefully.

Mu Zhi was convinced that she was rational enough to accept the truth that Lu Jinye had no love for her. She refused to meet Lu Jinye, and even if she did see him, she was confident that she could hold her ground.

However, seeing how Lu Jinye was drowned in work, she could not help but feel a twinge of heartache.
