Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 250

Chapter 250 An Important Message for You

Mu Zhi was thunderstruck.

She could not work out how she should react anymore. In this instance, her phone went off.

Mu Zhi looked at her phone, and the name on her screen said, ‘Xie Xiu.’

She answered it and was greeted by Xie Xiu’s usual hoarse, yet silvery voice with a dash of coolness.

“Congratulations, you’re getting hitched in two days.”

“Thank you.” Responded Mu Zhi nonchalantly.

“Do I have the privilege to ask you out for a drink?”

Xie Xiu’s tone was insouciant when he said those words. Mu Zhi looked at the people around her reluctantly, not knowing what she should say. Then, a series of violent coughs came from Xie Xiu’s end, followed by his secretary’s anxious voice calling out his name.

Just like that, Xie Xiu hung up the call abruptly.

It took him fractions of second to end the call after inviting him for a drink.

Mu Zhi was stupefied. She did not hesitate for a moment before storming out of the room with her phone.

“Sorry, I need to take care of some business.”

Mu Zhi stood by the busy streets, waved down a cab, and promptly set off towards Xie Xiu’s place.

At the entrance of Xie Xiu’s residence, the cab was not allowed to advance farther. Mu Zhi settled the fare and hastily stepped off the car before the driver could give her the change.

She came before the security guard and told him to convey the message of her visit. But to her surprise, Xie Xiu’s secretary was frantically running towards her to cut her off, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll escort you in. Mr. Xie Xiu is expecting you.”

Mu Zhi was a little intimidated by her temperament.

Without questioning further, she hurriedly followed behind the secretary into Xie Xiu’s residence.

As soon as she stepped through the door, she found Xie Xiu lying feebly on the bed with a pale facial complexion.

Mu Zhi looked at him with a confused frown, “Mr. Xie, what happened…”

“It’s just some lingering condition, I’ll be fine.”
