A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 718: Childhood Sweethearts!

In the evening, Dong Le hosted a gathering and invited Jiang Jingheng and the others to meet up.

It had been a while since everyone last saw each other, and they noticed that Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan were even more inseparable than before.

Previously, they thought it was Jiang Jingheng who clung to Mu Yan, but now it seemed Mu Yan was the one clinging to Jiang Jingheng. Without a doubt, their relationship had deepened over time.

The way they looked at each other was filled with love.

"The air is full of the stench of love. How are us single people supposed to survive?" Dong Le immediately protested.

Lan Xi laughed, "Why don’t you find a relationship yourself then?"

Dong Le gave her a glare, "You talk like you have a boyfriend."

Lan Xi, hearing this, instinctively glanced at Lu Hao, who was on the phone.

She turned her head back to Dong Le with a light huff, "I’ll have one sooner or later."

Dong Le knew she liked Lu Hao and was aware that their families were considering an alliance, so he snorted twice and didn’t respond.

After finishing his call, Lu Hao said to Jiang Jingheng, "Can I have a word with you alone?"

Mu Yan glanced at the two of them, understood, and immediately went to find Lan Xi and the others.

Watching her walk away, Jiang Jingheng asked, "What’s up?"

"Did you have a falling out with your family?" Lu Hao asked with a furrowed brow.

"Is it already spreading that fast?" Jiang Jingheng responded with an indifferent expression.

"I have a friend who’s close to your cousin, and that’s what he said." Lu Hao’s expression was serious, "It’s not because of Mu Yan, is it?"

"No."

"Then..."

"It’s none of your business, I’ve got it under control." Jiang Jingheng interrupted him, "Don’t mention this in front of Mu Yan."

Lu Hao nodded. He had arranged for Dong Le to set up this gathering, hoping to ask about this matter.

In fact, they had long suspected that when news of his marriage broke, the Jiang Family would not accept it.

However, since Jiang Jingheng himself wasn’t worried about this, they didn’t feel it was their place to intervene. It wasn’t like they could break him and Mu Yan apart.

Lu Hao couldn’t help but glance at Mu Yan. What was it about this young and beautiful girl that left the cold and heartless King Jiang so captivated?

In a corner, Lan Xi pulled Mu Yan over and said, "Sister-in-law, what have you been up to? I haven’t heard from you at all."

Mu Yan thought about what she had experienced recently, and her heart grew a bit heavier. She replied, "I’ve been at home the whole time."

"Then why is it that when I call you, your phone is always off, and you never call me back?"

Mu Yan was a bit surprised, "Did you call me? I didn’t know."

She recalled that during that period, her mental state was poor, so missing calls was quite normal.

She apologized, saying, "Sorry about that." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Lan Xi smiled, "Given our relationship, is there any need to be so polite? It’s nothing major; I just wanted to have lunch and chat with you."

Mu Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is Lu Hao still in contact with Zhao Jia Min?"

Lan Xi’s smile faded instantly, and she snorted coldly, "Her husband is back in the country, so she’s got no time to fool around."

Mu Yan didn’t know what to say, so she sidestepped the topic and looked over at Jian Shaohan and Zheng Lu Hua.

Zheng Lu Hua was talking to Jian Shaohan with a flattering expression, while Jian Shaohan looked impatient.

She asked, "How are Huahua and the others lately?"

"Just the same as always. Jian Shaohan has a bad temper, and they have plenty of conflicts, but Huahua’s not too unlucky."

"Oh?"

"Jian Shaohan keeps his private life very clean. Huahua is his childhood sweetheart and first love." Lan Xi’s tone held a touch of envy.

Mu Yan knew what she envied. A forced relationship wouldn’t be sweet, and if she insisted on pursuing it, she’d have to face the bitter outcome herself.

Once everyone was present, Dong Le glanced at Ning Ze, who had come alone, and teased, "Hey, Ning Ze, how come your girlfriend isn’t here again? Are you just stringing us along?"
