Falling for the Contract Bride

But before she could go anywhere, a pair of couple scoffing down noodles at the side turned their faces

to Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi raised a hand over her face in a poor attempt to cover it. On the other hand, Lu Jinye was

waiting for her like a charming prince.

Then, the girl suddenly shouted, “Wow, it’s Lu Jinye and Mu Zhi!”

“Lu Jinye is so hot, Mu Zhi is such a beautiful woman. They are the one true pair.”

“Oh heavens, Mu Zhi was way prettier than she looked in the livestream. I can’t believe she would eat

fried noodles like an ordinary folk!”

“This is what true couples look like, unlike the pretentious ones on the internet!”

Mu Zhi was hanging her head in the beginning. But hearing the flurry of praises falling into her ears,

she could not resist looking up, and instead of finding spiteful gazes, all she could see was good-

natured and encouraging eyes.

That’s weird.

Mu Zhi gawked at the sight. It wasn’t until she felt the fried noodles’ warmth that she came back to her

senses. She hastily received it with gratitude.

Everyone was kind to her.

She put a mouthful of fried noodles into her mouth, and her taste buds rejoiced in distinct pleasure.

Then, she gradually moved towards Lu Jinye with every pair of eyes locked on her.

“Lu Jinye, did you see it?”

Mu Zhi asked Lu Jinye with a shocked expression.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye was looking back at her with an encouraging smile.

Slowly, the two of them made it to the end of the night market. Mu Zhi had finished the fried noodles

when her brain managed to process the information. She giggled uncontrollably.

It was the first time she did not receive hatred and anger. On the contrary, the crowd was zealous to

her. The feeling was indescribably good.

When they arrived at home, Mu Zhi had the best sleep in many days.

The second morning, by the time Mu Zhi woke up, she was on every single news channel and social

media headlines.

‘Mu Zhi describing her love journey with Lu Jinye.’

‘The one true pair indulging fried noodles at the night market!’

‘The most beautiful love story one could ever imagine!’

Positive headlines flooded the internet.

Besides, numerous users of the internet were petitioning for the Mrs. Chairman to go on another

livestream!

Everyone was eager to see the unpretentious Mu Zhi!

There were even people who started a movement called ‘We owe Mu Zhi an apology’.

In the course of a night… The internet completely overturned their opinions on Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi received a call when she woke up. She had not yet shaken off her grogginess when Director

Yiwen’s excited voice came from the phone.

“Miss Mu, are you awake? Do you think you can make your way to the company?”

Mu Zhi gaped her eyes with a start, and anxiously, she answered, “S-sure.”

Then, it dawned on her that she had no clue what was happening. “What happened? Did something

wrong happen since my livestream yesterday?” She asked hastily.

Nothing’s wrong. In fact, everything’s right. So we need you here to discuss our way forward.”

Mu Zhi sighed in relief and obliged.

When she got to the company, she received a series of livestreaming schedule from the brass.

However, Mu Zhi’s big day was just around the corner, so she could not fork out time for livestreaming.

In the end, the executives decided to embark on the most unpretentious reality show one could ever

imagine. They assigned a personal assistant to Mu Zhi to follow her around while streaming her daily

routine on the internet.

There were six days until their wedding day.

Mu Zhi spent the first day on pre-wedding photo shooting with Lu Jinye. An ordinary couple would take

a series of pictures with the backdrop in a studio.

But Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye traveled across six countries in a day to take six different styles of photos.

The hottest search on the internet of the day was, ‘A pre-wedding photoshoot experience one can

dream but can never realize.’

The following day, Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye went for a sumptuous dinner where Lu Jinye ordered the

vintage Cote De Boeuf steak, which came to ten thousand for a serve. Users of the internet gasped,

‘Absurd!’

However, the users were not alone because Mu Zhi shared the same opinion.

She too, thought that Lu Jinye was ludicrous.

It was completely unnecessary to splurge that much on a piece of meat.

Mu Zhi’s behavior would resonate with her audience. As a result, everyone had deduced that Lu Jinye

was doting Mu Zhi just to fulfill the audience’s curiosity.

They were crowned king and queen of the internet. Everyone was attracted to the couple, and Mu Zhi

became the most famous uprising celebrity.

Countless movie producers had started to engage with Mu Zhi with a movie script, hoping that she

could collaborate with them in shooting a movie.

Unfortunately… Mu Zhi’s big day was coming up.

There was even a popular request for Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye to put their wedding on livestream. In return,

the company was diligently working to satisfy the request.

Lu Jinye was not bothered by this. As an investor, he understood that popularity was directly correlated

to profit in the entertainment world. Besides, he was glad that it was a stepping stone for Mu Zhi’s

career.

As their big day was gradually approaching, Mu Zhi became increasingly perturbed for some reason.

…

Meanwhile, Xiao Qingqing was peeved by the sight of the headlines on the internet. She turned on the

TV only to find the same recurring news that was soring to her eyes.

No way, I can’t hold it anymore.

She was preparing to unveil her schemes on the day of Lu Jinye and Mu Zhi’s wedding, but her

patience was running thin.

At that thought, she first gave Mu Xianyong a call and told him, “Call Master Lu today and ask him out!”

“Is this coming from you or Mr. Xie?”

Mu Xianyong asked doubtfully.

However, Xiao Qingqing bellowed grumpily, “Cut your nonsense!”
