A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 646: Come Clean!
Jiang Jingheng had anticipated that revealing his secret love for her would surely lead her, with her cleverness, to guess that he approached her intentionally, even designing their marriage.
He coughed lightly and said, "It’s all in the past now."
"It can’t be!" Mu Yan glared at him, "Be honest with me."
How could he be so despicable, failing in secret love, then resorting to a deceptive marriage, it’s vile.
To think she previously believed he fell in love with her at first sight that night.
She was indeed too naive, thinking things were too simple.
Jiang Jingheng looked at her and could see her thoughts from her eyes.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "That day, I happened to see two people sneaking you onto the elevator in the hotel, so I followed them. I didn’t expect you to be drugged then, and you know everything that happened afterward."
"So you took advantage of me?" Mu Yan said, displeased.
"If I hadn’t created the opportunity myself, you might never have known who I was, wouldn’t have liked me, let alone married me." Jiang Jingheng looked at her, the corner of his mouth tugging, "What would I do then? Grow old alone, unable to have love?"
Mu Yan looked at the sorrow in his light brown eyes, her heart suddenly wringing.
She spoke softly, "But you shouldn’t have deceived me."
If he liked her, why not pursue her openly, using such a deceptive marriage, it’s really shameful.
"It was my fault, I shouldn’t have tricked you into marrying me." Jiang Jingheng said quietly.
His direct apology made Mu Yan suddenly feel uncomfortable.
She actually wasn’t that angry after all, since she liked him.
Especially after knowing how much he liked her, she liked him too. If she fussed over this, she’d feel like she’s being pretentious.
"Dream on about growing old alone, I’ll cling to you for life." Mu Yan gave a soft hum.
"Not angry with me anymore?" he asked.
Mu Yan pressed her lips together, "You’ve played the pity card so well, how could I have the heart to blame you?"
"I really am pitiful." Jiang Jingheng looked at her with mournful eyes, "You never knew I liked you."
"Well, you never told me." Mu Yan said, annoyed, "You foolishly blame me?"
"Yes, I’m foolish." Jiang Jingheng grabbed her hand, "But I feared you wouldn’t like me."
Mu Yan saw his lack of confidence, her heart skipped a beat; so he worried about this too.
She had always thought she was the weaker one in their relationship, but today he overturned her thoughts.
She quietly asked, "Am I that important?"
"I secretly loved you for six years, then used means to marry you. Doesn’t that prove your importance?" Jiang Jingheng countered.
Mu Yan was silent for a moment; put that way, she indeed seemed formidable.
Seeing her expression improve, Jiang Jingheng asked, "Are you still angry?"
Mu Yan came back to her senses and looked at him, "Of course I’m angry, if you were deceived like this, would you be happy?"
"What should I do to make you forgive me?" Jiang Jingheng asked.
Mu Yan gave a soft hum, mimicking his usual tone, "You tell me."
Jiang Jingheng smiled slightly, "Punish me by making me stay with you forever, love you forever."
"Wishful thinking." Mu Yan said displeased, "That’s clearly a reward."
"Are you willing to give me this reward?" Jiang Jingheng asked.
Mu Yan looked into his light brown eyes, thinking of his years of torment and his deep feelings for her.
She suddenly hugged him, "Don’t bully me from now on."
"Mm."
"Whatever I say goes."
"Okay."
"You can only love me."
"Of course."
"Give me your diary, I haven’t finished reading it."
Jiang Jingheng tightened his arms around her, his eyes veiling.
"No need to read it."
