Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 230 The Appearance of Her Birth Father

Based on her knowledge of Xie Xiu, he was not someone to sit around waiting for opportunities to come.

Xie Xiu did not seem nervous at all. He was insouciantly touching up his ink painting while saying to Secretary Rao, “Did you know? I love how you used to handle everything for me with poise. Unlike now, where you seem to be constantly overstepping your boundary.”

Upon hearing what Xie Xiu had to say, Secretary Rao immediately hung her head.

However, she tried to defend herself, seemingly upset with his remark.

After suppressing her emotions for a couple of seconds, she blurted out disgruntledly, “Mr. Xie, you act differently from before this time. You’ve never treated women like this in the past.”

Xie Xiu held the brush in the air. Without completing the elegant phoenix drawing, he raised his eyes to look at Secretary Rao, “Are you saying that I’ve lost myself in front of a woman?”

“Not really.”

Secretary Rao immediately kept mum.

“Enough, I’m tired, prepare the bath.”

Xie Xiu made it clear that he didn’t want to speak of it any longer.

Secretary Rao seemed to have more to say, but the words did not ultimately leave her tongue.

After getting his bath prepared, Xie Xiu suddenly ordered her to search for a man who had the slightest resemblance to Mu Zhi’s facial features and bring him to Xiao Qingqing.

Secretary Rao complied, not knowing what Xie Xiu’s intentions were. However, when Xiao Qingqing received the man who had a dash of Mu Zhi’s resemblance, she seemed over the moon and expressed her gratitude to Mr. Xie.

On the way back to Xie Xiu’s place, Secretary Rao suddenly remembered something that made everything fall in place for her.

Mr. Xie Xiu was not passive. He was a master at utilizing his pieces on the chessboard.

He knew from the beginning that Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye were not going to get married.
