A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Why are you the only one?

In the hospital room, Mu Yan, Jiang Jingheng, and a few others were watching TV when suddenly Jiang Jingheng’s phone rang.

Jiang Jingheng glanced at the caller and directly hung up.

Mu Yan asked, ”Why aren’t you answering?”

”No need to answer.”

Mu Yan gave him a look and continued watching TV. Soon, his phone rang again.

This time, Jiang Jingheng got up and went outside to take the call.

Mu Yan watched his back, feeling a vague sense of unease.

After a short while, Jiang Jingheng returned.

He said to Mu Yan, ”It’s about time, let’s head home.”

”Okay.” Mu Yan nodded and stood up to pack her bag.

She said to Mu Chen, ”I’ll come over again tomorrow. Get some rest early.”

”Okay.” Mu Chen nodded, watching the two leave.

On the way, Jiang Jingheng suddenly said, ”I have something to do later, you don’t need to wait for me, go to bed early.”

Mu Yan looked at his somewhat distant face and asked, ”Is something wrong?”

Ever since Zhuang Chujiao left the villa, her heart had been unsettled, and now her worries had reached their peak.

”It’s nothing major, don’t worry.”

Mu Yan didn’t want to listen to his vague words, so she pressed further, ”Do your family members know about our relationship?”

Jiang Jingheng was silent for a moment before saying, ”They probably know.”

”Do you want me to go with you?”

Jiang Jingheng’s expression changed slightly, and he looked at her in surprise, she...

Mu Yan understood his thoughts and smiled, ”I know I am very timid, but how could I bear to let you fight alone? Besides, they dislike me, not you. I have no reason to let you take the bullet for me while I hide.”

Jiang Jingheng held her hand and squeezed it gently, his eyes were extremely tender, ”I still like it when you act like an ostrich.”

Mu Yan shook off his hand and said, displeased, ”You’re the ostrich, your whole family is full of ostriches.”

”My whole family includes you too.” Jiang Jingheng laughed even more deeply.

Mu Yan was at a loss for words and turned her head away in a huff, ignoring him.

The originally tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated because of this exchange.

Jiang Jingheng suddenly said, ”There’s no need for tonight, it should be in the morning when you meet your in-laws.”

Mu Yan glanced at him, thinking that at this time, he could still talk about rules so seriously.

However, he was right. If she went over rashly tonight, it would only make his family dislike her more, and in the end, it would be difficult for him to be stuck in the middle.

”Okay, then come back early. Oh, if your grandfather hits you, remember to dodge. They may not feel sorry for you, but I do.” Mu Yan instructed.

”Okay.” Jiang Jingheng chuckled softly and held her hand tightly.

After arriving at the villa, Jiang Jingheng escorted Mu Yan back to the bedroom before leaving.

As soon as he went downstairs, Mu Yan quickly went to the window to see him off.

Saying she wasn’t worried would be a lie, but there was nothing she could do.

On the road, Yin Manqing called several more times to rush him, but Jiang Jingheng found it annoying and didn’t pick up.

When he arrived at the Jiang Family’s home, he saw the living room was full of people, each one with a serious expression, the scene resembling a solemn courtroom.

Yin Manqing watched as her son came in and quickly walked over, glaring at him with resentment.

She had told him many times to break it off with that woman, but he wouldn’t listen. Now, here they were.

With a scandal this big, the old man was furious, and his position might not be secure anymore.

Jiang Jingheng didn’t even spare a glance at Yin Manqing and walked straight ahead.

He looked at the old man sitting in the center of the sofa and called out, ”Grandfather.”

Old Sir Jiang glanced at him and said flatly, ”Your cousin said you got married? Why didn’t you bring her back for us to see?”
