A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 652 She is allergic!

As soon as Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan arrived, Zhuang Yi suddenly stood up.

Ning Ze and the others were like, "..."

Is Brother Zhuang too excited? It’s just been a month since he last saw Brother Jiang, is it that serious?

Zhuang Yi’s gaze was fixed on Mu Yan, his eyes filled with eagerness.

Seeing her face, he was even more certain she was Nuannuan.

Mu Yan also noticed a gaze fixed on her. She’d seen him before, Zhuang Yi; today’s intuition.

She nodded slightly at him and then turned her gaze to the others, nodding in greeting one by one.

Zhuang Yi’s gaze shifted from her to Jiang Jingheng, and he nodded slightly, calming down.

Jiang Jingheng held Mu Yan’s hand as they walked to the table to sit down.

Seeing the two being so affectionate, Lan Xi relaxed. She was worried they might have argued last night when Mu Yan came back.

"Brother Song will be here soon, I’ll have the food served first." Ning Ze said, then got up to call in the waiter.

Jiang Jingheng picked up the teapot and poured Mu Yan a cup of tea, reminding her, "Be careful, it’s hot."

"Okay." Mu Yan picked up the cup, the slight heat spreading to her fingertips. She took a small sip, then put the cup down, and when she lifted her head, she met Zhuang Yi’s gaze.

His gaze was focused and somewhat eager, causing her to furrow her brow slightly and look away toward Jiang Jingheng.

The conversation was light and intermittent, and suddenly, they started talking about Ning Ze’s girlfriend.

As Ning Ze came back in, Dong Le immediately asked, "Didn’t you say it was a done deal? Why didn’t you bring her today?"

Ning Ze replied, "Next time, she worked late last night and didn’t rest well, so I let her stay home to rest."

Mentioning his girlfriend brought a few more smiles to his face.

This smile irritated Dong Le a bit, so he intentionally said, "Maybe she just didn’t want to come."

Ning Ze glanced at him, "I know you’re just jealous."

"Jealous of you?" Dong Le snorted, "You must be love-struck or something."

"No need to explain, bro, I’ll introduce someone to you later." Ning Ze sat down beside him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Get lost!" Dong Le shrugged his hand off.

Ning Ze shrugged, looking at the others, "Have some sympathy for the single dog here."

Lu Hao and the others laughed, "We know you’re on cloud nine lately, but tone it down. There are plenty of single people here."

"I’m just trying to be like Brother Jiang," Ning Ze said, looking over at Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan, smiling flatteringly.

Mu Yan smiled slightly, "Congratulations."

Seeing her genuine expression, Ning Ze felt a pang of guilt, awkwardly smiling politely.

He silently picked up his cup and sipped his tea, wondering if Qin Xi hadn’t told Mu Yan about their situation.

But maybe she was just too busy lately and hadn’t had time to mention it. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Before long, Song Cheng’an arrived, and the dishes started to come in one after another.

Zhuang Yi glanced at Mu Yan and suddenly asked, "Why is there no seafood?"

Ning Ze asked, "What seafood would you like, Brother Zhuang?"

"I heard the Australian lobsters here are good, let’s have a few," Zhuang Yi said with a smile, "After all, you know how tough life in the military is, not like you guys who get to enjoy gourmet food anytime."

Jiang Jingheng seemed to not hear, picking up his chopsticks to place a piece of beef in Mu Yan’s bowl.

Mu Yan glanced at him but didn’t move her chopsticks, since the others hadn’t started eating yet.

Ning Ze seemed a bit troubled, "Brother Zhuang, if you want shrimp, I’ll treat you another day, today won’t work."

"Why not? They don’t have any here?" Zhuang Yi raised an eyebrow.

"No, it’s just that the sister-in-law is allergic to shrimp," Ning Ze said, recalling Mu Yan’s allergic reaction last time, feeling a bit anxious.
