A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 724: I’m Not Doubting You!

When Qin Xi finished washing up and came out, breakfast was already laid out on the dining table.

Bacon rolls, fried eggs, sausages, millet porridge, shrimp dumplings, and more—a feast indeed.

Judging by the way it was plated, it didn’t seem like it was bought from outside.

She looked at Ning Ze and asked, "Did you make this?"

Ning Ze replied with some pride, "Of course."

He looked at Qin Xi, full of anticipation, "Xi Xi, try it quickly."

Qin Xi sat down, ready to be the guinea pig, but...

She took a bite of the egg, her eyes brightened, and she looked at Ning Ze in surprise, "Did you really make this?"

"Yeah, is it good?" Ning Ze asked with a smile.

Qin Xi nodded and said, "It’s delicious. I didn’t expect you to have such a talent for cooking."

"I had no choice, to let my wife have a delicious breakfast, I had to work hard," Ning Ze said proudly.

Qin Xi thought of his disastrous first attempt at cooking and smiled knowingly, "That is indeed my honor."

"As long as you like it. In the future, tell me whatever you want to eat," Ning Ze looked at her tenderly.

His gaze was somewhat intense, and Qin Xi felt a bit flustered, instinctively lowering her head to continue eating breakfast.

Just as they were nearly done with breakfast, she suddenly heard Ning Ze ask, "Xi Xi, did you come back with Lu Zhaoming last night?"

Qin Xi looked at Ning Ze in surprise, "Why do you ask?"

Ning Ze fixed his gaze on her for a few seconds and said, "Yesterday, you and Lu Zhaoming were photographed at the airport."

Of course, he had already taken it off the trending searches.

Afraid she might misunderstand, he explained, "I don’t doubt you."

"Hmm." Qin Xi nodded and continued eating breakfast.

Ning Ze hesitated, wanting to ask more, but seeing that she didn’t want to talk much, he stopped pursuing the topic.

No matter what, he should trust Xi Xi. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Several days passed without Jiang Jingheng going to the company.

Just as well, Mu Yan had nothing to do these days either, so the two of them stayed home, painting, reading, and arranging flowers, feeling quite at ease.

However, the Jiang Family could no longer stay calm.

If it were in Old Sir Jiang’s younger days, having Jing Heng or not wouldn’t matter much.

But now, his two sons are mediocre, his eldest grandson is in poor health, and his second grandson is a wastrel. He could only rely on Jiang Jingheng.

Now, rumors are spreading that the Jiang Family’s head is about to change hands, giving the profligate second son the reins, causing stock prices to plummet and unrest at the board, demanding an explanation from the old man.

Old Sir Jiang didn’t bother to find out where these rumors came from.

But in the contrast, the strengths and weaknesses of the two grandsons were clear at a glance.

The most urgent thing now is to stabilize the stock prices and morale.

Of course, this doesn’t mean he would compromise with Jiang Jingheng and agree to Mu Yan entering the family.

In his view, his grandson certainly has faults, but the biggest fault lies with the woman who seduced him.

That evening, Old Sir Jiang called and scolded Jiang Jingheng, reprimanding him for not being diligent, irresponsible in his work, and ordered him to go back to work and not continue to slack off.

He didn’t mention anything about Mu Yan marrying Jiang Jingheng, as if it never happened.

He didn’t bring it up, and neither did Jiang Jingheng.

He never needed the Jiang Family’s approval for Mu Yan; she was his woman, and he would always protect her.

Jiang Jingheng went back to work, and Mu Yan resumed her job too.

In the morning, she attended a ribbon-cutting for a government project, attended by many officials.

It was said that high-ranking officials from Beijing were also present.

She couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but she felt like a pair of eyes were constantly on her.

The occasion was too serious for her to look around, so she just hoped to finish quickly and leave.

After the event ended and she changed her clothes, as soon as she walked out, two military officers stopped her.

"Miss Mu, our commander would like to meet you."
