Chapter 348
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 348 I Believe in Love at First Sight
âI know this is the first time weâve met, but Iâve fallen for you the moment I saw you. If I havenât agreed
to join this episode, Iâll regret it for the rest of my life.â
One of the male guests whistled, and it was followed by a series of joyful clamoring from the crowd. Mu
Zhi gawked at the stranger before her eyes, then turned to look at the crowd, seemingly at a loss.
She was flabbergasted. She had neither experienced being in the limelight nor did anyone confess
their love for her in public. Apart from getting harassed on the island previously and her relationship
with Xie Xiu, she struggled to remember anything else.
Thus, Mu Zhi looked at the overzealous man with a frown. She thought about secretly signaling him to
back away, but the host of the show had gradually walked up the stage at this point, and announced to
the crowd, âWith that, we shall commence the show today. We are Xinghao Media.
Despite being an unremarkable media company to most, we are working diligently to gain some
recognition from the public. With our sponsorâs help, a prominent jewelry brand, weâve managed to
organize this street blind dating show.
Today, weâre lucky to have ten beautiful women and five men guests to grace our event and donât fret,
we have reserved five empty spots for five lucky men among the crowd to join the show.â
âAllow me to read out the rules of todayâs game.â
The man who courted Mu Zhi shuffled backward a little when the host started speaking, but his eyes
remained on Mu Zhi. Meanwhile, Mu Zhi stared back at him cluelessly.
All she could do was stand still and listen to the host as he went through the rules.
âOnce any woman on stage is match-made successfully, we will invite ladies of the audience to replace
the empty spot, so everyone has a chance to work for their Mr. Right.â
In conjunction with their theme of âtrue loveâ, Xinghao had secretly planted a few couples in the crowd
to match-making. They didnât really need to be clear with the schedule.
Mu Zhi was not concerned about the schedule. Instead, the strange guest who confessed his love for
her out of the blue was rather worrying.
âAlright now, letâs begin our match-making! Do we have any male volunteers from the crowd?â
The host showed no regard for the man who was pestering Mu Zhi with his affection. Instead, he fixed
his attention on the men in the crowd, attempting to create a lively atmosphere.
At this moment, a man among the crowd suddenly shot his arm in the air, proclaiming to the host, âI
want to join.â
The host was anxious at first, worried that nobody would join the show. Thus, he was over the moon to
see a volunteer. He invited the volunteer on stage before turning his face back to the crowd, âDo we
have another bold volunteer?â
âAlright now, letâs leave the others for now. Arenât we curious?â He wheeled around to look at the man,
and asked, âSir, which one of our beautiful guests are you targeting today?â
âNumber ten!â
The man declared while looking at Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi was startled. She scrambled to check her number only to see that it was indeed number ten.
Then, she became even more perturbed.
Seeing that the gentleman was going for number ten, another man in the crowd suddenly raised his
arm, claiming that there was a candidate he fancied as he went on stage.
When asked which one was his target, the man surprised everyone by saying, âNumber ten.â
Following closely, one volunteer came after another, more enthusiastically than the company had
planned originally. However, nobody had expected that it took less than twenty minutes for five
volunteers to go on stage, and four of them expressed their interest in Mu Zhi.
The host became troubled for a moment. He glanced at the men on stage and then said, âLetâs take our
seats first. There was a guest who could not wait for the show to start before confessing his love, let us
listen to his story. Come on now!â
The man described his love at first sight feelings of Mu Zhi. He didnât join the show in hopes of finding
true love but was pleasantly surprised when he saw Mu Zhi!
Mu Zhi had the urge to flee from the stage at the sound of his cringe-worthy speech.
However, it was too late. The show had started, and she had no way to escape right now.
She figured that she must bite the bullet to finish the show to keep her work.
After rejecting the first man, the others were unfazed. They lined up to go on stage to confess their love
for Mu Zhi!
Mu Zhi could not help but to reject every one of them.
Thus, a match-making show had turned into a collective effort to woo Mu Zhi!
â¦
Meanwhile, Linda had left her office to make herself a cup of coffee. She saw many of her colleagues
looking down through the window.
She glanced casually at the crowd only to see a captivating woman at the center of the audience.
âWhatâs going on?â Asked Linda with a frown.
She had never been interested in gossips. One of her colleagues replied, âThereâs a clamorous crowd
down here. Somehow, they started match-making on the streets. Who believes in love at first sight
nowadaysâ¦â
It was the first time Linda witnessed such a reality show. She could not help stealing a few extra
glances in curiosity.
âLove at first sight? Is the woman a fine-looking one?â
She peered down nonchalantly as she spoke.
Upon taking a closer look, Linda was jaw-dropped to find a familiar face among the crowd!
Is that⦠Mu Zhi?!
No wonder the woman was highly regarded! How could a woman who once belonged to Lu Jinye be
any lesser?!
Linda then scurried downstairs to confirm her suspicions and learned that it was indeed Mu Zhi.
Linda woke from her daze, dashed back into the company, and knocked on Lu Jinyeâs door in a fluster.
âCome in.â
Upon receiving Lu Jinyeâs invitation, Linda barged into the room.
âWhatâs the matter? Iâve never seen you this flustered before.â
Lu Jinye glimpsed at her before returning to the work documents in his hands, seemingly unaware of
what was happening.
âMr. Lu, itâsâ¦â Linda stammered.
âWhat?â
âMiss Mu is in the middle of a match-making show downstairs! Men are queuing up to woo her!â
Linda blurted out in between her rapid panting and started to observe Lu Jinyeâs reaction.
Mu Zhi match-making, under my nose?
Lu Jinye knitted his brows together. Without ascertaining that the woman was Mu Zhi, he stood to his
feet, seized his coat, and went downstairs.
What the hell does this woman think sheâs doing?!
Why is she suddenly joining a match-making show out of the blue?
A dense crowd swamped the street. The extraordinary match-making show paired with the breath-
taking response by the male audience attracted the attention of many. Some even started recording
videos of the scene and putting them online!
