Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 256 I Stayed with You for Revenge

When Mu Zhi thought about it, she felt sad.

But her gaze never wavered.

She took a deep breath, turned off her phone, and set it aside.

She stood up, slowly got off the bed and walked outside.

It was dawn. Just when the sky was about to lighten and the northern part of the city was still shrouded in darkness. Mu Zhi looked at the clock on the wall. She couldn’t sleep.

Now that she thought about it, she was quite happy about fainting just then.

At least when she was unconscious, she wasn’t bothered by all these thoughts.

But now that she was awake, she was forced to face them.

Mu Zhi took her time and went downstairs. She saw that Xie Xiu was making some tea. The aroma filled the room, giving it warmth. The warm fragrance of the tea chased away the loneliness that most night owls seemed to be afflicted with and replaced it with quiet solitude.

“You’re awake?”

Xie Xiu heard the sound of footsteps and looked up at Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi softly hummed the affirmation and walked to his side.

“Sit down. Have some tea.”

Xie Xiu poured a cup of tea and offered it to Mu Zhi, inviting her to sit.

Mu Zhi sat across from him and sighed.

Xie Xiu acted as if he did not hear her sigh. He didn’t ask her the reason for it, instead he said, “Try the tea I’ve just made. Is it good?”

Mu Zhi picked up the teacup and asked, “Mr. Xie, why are you still up at this time?”
