A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 729: Heart Knot!

Along the way, Mu Yan kept talking about Qin Xi and Ning Ze.

Only in front of Jiang Jingheng did she dare to reveal her emotions.

She sighed and said, "I really didn’t expect Qin Xi’s boyfriend to be Ning Ze."

"There’s nothing to be surprised about." Jiang Jingheng replied calmly.

Mu Yan glanced at him and tentatively asked, "Could it be that you knew already?"

"I heard Dong Le mention it."

"Then why didn’t you tell me?" Mu Yan complained.

Jiang Jingheng gently squeezed her palm and said nonchalantly, "You didn’t ask me."

Mu Yan felt a bit sulky and turned her head away, ignoring him.

With such an important matter, even if she didn’t ask, he should have honestly told her.

But thinking about how Qin Xi and Ning Ze acted like a pair of comical rivals, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Somehow, even though Ning Ze seemed unreliable, he surprisingly matched well with Qin Xi when they were together.

Besides, Ning Ze was someone she knew. Although she didn’t know him well, anyone who could be friends with Jiang Jingheng shouldn’t be someone who casually toyed with others’ feelings, right?

She just didn’t know what Qin Xi thought about it.

Suddenly, she felt a pain in her hand and instinctively wanted to pull it back, but it was tightly gripped.

She turned her head and glared at him, "What are you doing?"

"Don’t think about anyone else," Jiang Jingheng frowned and said.

Mu Yan pressed her lips together, "Who else should I think about if not others?"

"Think about me."

"You’re sitting right next to me; why would I need to think about you?" Mu Yan replied with a hint of annoyance.

"Then your eyes should only be on me."

Seeing his domineering demeanor, Mu Yan suddenly found it amusing.

"Why are you being so possessive?"

"I wish you only had eyes for me," Jiang Jingheng said.

Hearing this, the bit of displeasure Mu Yan felt vanished instantly.

She replied in a muffled voice, "Who else would I look at besides you, anyway?"

Jiang Jingheng’s eyes darkened slightly; he wasn’t referring to that.

He looked ahead and asked, "Did she come to see you again today?"

Mu Yan understood and replied, "Yes, but I sent her away."

Jiang Jingheng laughed softly at her words, raising a hand to pinch her cheek, "Good girl."

"How’s it at work? Your grandpa didn’t give you a hard time, did he?" Mu Yan asked.

"No, everything’s as usual," Jiang Jingheng answered.

Mu Yan was relieved to hear that, which was good. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Not long after returning to the villa, Mu Yan received a call from Qin Xi.

At this time, Jiang Jingheng was in the shower, and she was lying on the bed answering the call.

"How did you two end up together?" Mu Yan asked.

"It’s a long story."

"Then make it short."

Qin Xi briefly recounted how they met.

"I didn’t expect to end up with him so cluelessly. Every day with him, I feel like my head’s going to explode," Qin Xi complained.

"But I think you two get along quite well," Mu Yan said in surprise.

After a pause, she asked, "Or is it that you don’t like him?"

"It has nothing to do with liking. Whether in terms of age or family, I’m not compatible with him," Qin Xi said with some helplessness.

Mu Yan understood what she meant. Qin Xi’s feelings with Lu Zhaoming also failed due to reality, and what she and Ning Ze Jiang Yao faced might be even harsher than her past with Lu Zhaoming.

The younger man and older woman dynamic can easily lead to problems in a relationship.

In terms of family background, Ning Ze’s family was much better off than Lu Zhaoming’s.

"If you truly love someone, these things aren’t a problem. It’s like with Jiang Jingheng; no matter what others think, I would never break up with him."

On the other end of the line, Qin Xi fell silent for a moment and said, "Let’s give it a try first."

Mu Yan knew she had unresolved issues, and some things just needed time.
