Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 348

Chapter 348 I Believe in Love at First Sight

“I know this is the first time we’ve met, but I’ve fallen for you the moment I saw you. If I haven’t agreed to join this episode, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”

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, “With 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 sponsor’s help, a prominent jewelry brand, we’ve managed to organize this street blind dating show.

Today, we’re lucky to have ten beautiful women and five men guests to grace our event and don’t fret, we have reserved five empty spots for five lucky men among the crowd to join the show.”

“Allow me to read out the rules of today’s game.”

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.

“Once 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.”

In conjunction with their theme of ‘true love’, Xinghao had secretly planted a few couples in the crowd to match-making. They didn’t 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.

“Alright now, let’s begin our match-making! Do we have any male volunteers from the crowd?”

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, “I want to join.”

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, “Do we have another bold volunteer?”

“Alright now, let’s leave the others for now. Aren’t we curious?” He wheeled around to look at the man, and asked, “Sir, which one of our beautiful guests are you targeting today?”

“Number ten!”

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, “Number ten.”

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, “Let’s 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!”

The man described his love at first sight feelings of Mu Zhi. He didn’t 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. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

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!

…

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.

“What’s going on?” Asked Linda with a frown.

She had never been interested in gossips. One of her colleagues replied, “There’s a clamorous crowd down here. Somehow, they started match-making on the streets. Who believes in love at first sight nowadays…”

It was the first time Linda witnessed such a reality show. She could not help stealing a few extra glances in curiosity.

“Love at first sight? Is the woman a fine-looking one?”

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 Jinye’s door in a fluster.

“Come in.”

Upon receiving Lu Jinye’s invitation, Linda barged into the room.

“What’s the matter? I’ve never seen you this flustered before.”

Lu Jinye glimpsed at her before returning to the work documents in his hands, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

“Mr. Lu, it’s…” Linda stammered.

“What?”

“Miss Mu is in the middle of a match-making show downstairs! Men are queuing up to woo her!”

Linda blurted out in between her rapid panting and started to observe Lu Jinye’s 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 she’s 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!
