Falling for the Contract Bride
Chapter 353
Under the glittering lights of the stars, Jian Xiaoning’s eyes were sparkling gently, giving her an incredibly sincere look.
She held up her phone and asked Mu Zhi, “What’s your WeChat account? Let me send you the file and you can try it later.”
Mu Zhi hesitated. Noticing Mu Zhi’s reluctance, Jian Xiaoning promptly retracted her phone, saying, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel like trying. This is a pretty stupid idea from Xu Se anyway.”
Mu Zhi became mortified to hear that.
She passed her phone to Jian Xiaoning to scan her QR code. After adding Mu Zhi as friends, Jian Xiaoning forwarded the file to Mu Zhi.
They headed back to the hotel slowly while small-talking then returned to their rooms.
Mu Zhi stared at the file but didn’t open it.
However, seeing that nobody tried reaching out for her, including Xie Xiu, who acted as though he had no idea that Mu Zhi had gone missing, she suddenly felt despair come over.
She was overwhelmed by emotion and struggled to fall asleep.
After tossing and turning in bed, Mu Zhi reached for her phone.
She played the music.
Placing her phone next to her ear, Mu Zhi shut her eyes and started falling into a trance while listening to the music.
She gradually blacked out.
In her subconscious mind, Mu Zhi felt like she had fallen into an abyss.
It was dark everywhere until she came to a house which looked familiar. It was a small house, and her mother was preparing a meal. Mom turned to face her. She looked exactly like the woman she had seen at the cemetery.
Then, when she walked farther, the settings suddenly changed. A little girl appeared. She sat in the rented home alongside Jian Xiaoning, whom she had met before.
The girl was around five years old. She called out for Mu Zhi, “Mama, watch me play the little swan.”
Mu Zhi could not help but smile at the heart-warming image.
She could feel the bliss.
Following that was a flurry of blinking lights flashing across her eyes, and she ended up in an extravagant house.

Mu Zhi cuddled with the man in the middle of a large bed. They started doing the unthinkable.
The scenes appeared to have been categorized systematically.
Mu Zhi wanted to get a closer look at the man but to no avail.
In her dreams, Mu Zhi shared a life with the man. He was her husband.
Then, her ringtone suddenly arose, and the music ceased abruptly.
Mu Zhi instantly woke up from her dreams. Despite having woken up, she remained entranced.
She sat on the bed, staring blankly at the air for a long moment until her phone stopped ringing. After a few moments, her phone went off once again, and she answered it.
“Hello?” She said in a daze.
“It’s me, Jian Xiaoning. I’m not sure which room you’re in. Just want to let you know that my boyfriend got confused, the music I sent isn’t meant to be for the past life. Don’t try it for now.”
“Sure.”
Mu Zhi had tried it, but she didn’t let Jian Xiaoning know. Instead, she pretended like she hadn’t done anything.
After all, the images she saw were mind-boggling.
They were difficult to believe.
Jian Xiaoning then hurriedly hung up the call after saying goodbye.
When the call was ended, Mu Zhi noticed that she still hadn’t heard anything from Xie Xiu. So, she took the initiation to give him a call.
…
Meanwhile, Xie Xiu was just done with a meeting and had returned to his office.
An alluring woman slowly walked into his office and sat across from the desk, saying, “Mr. Xie, you left an unforgettable impression on me the last time we met during the banquet. I’m happy to have finally met you again.”
Xie Xiu casually lifted his head to look at the woman.
She was a mistress of a tycoon he met during a banquet. The tycoon gifted the woman to Xie Xiu to fawn over him.
The decorotion in the house wos cozy. Mu Zhi could see herself sitting in there but couldn’t see the mon who wos with her. After preporing o meol, she would receive o kiss from the mon os o reword.

Everything Xie Xiu did was merely an illusion of love.
