A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 748 Promise!

Jiang Jingheng’s words immediately quenched the fire in Yin Manqing’s heart.

She was a bit annoyed, "I know you always think I embarrass you, but no matter what, I’m still your mother."

"Really?" Jiang Jingheng replied nonchalantly.

"You!" Yin Manqing was furious.

She knew now was not the time to throw a tantrum with him. She turned her head away, suppressing her anger, and said, "Do you think the Zhuang Family casually selects sons-in-law? They’re a prestigious family in Beijing, a hundred-year-old lineage. They might be stricter than the Jiang Family. Do you think they would accept you just like that?"

Not to mention, if they found out the two kids secretly got married without the adults knowing, the opposition would be even greater.

Jiang Jingheng ignored her and sat down to look at the documents.

Yin Manqing could tell what he was thinking by the way he acted.

She said mockingly, "I know you don’t care, but since ancient times, filial piety has crushed many people. I see Mu Yan as someone who values relationships deeply. Sooner or later, she will return to the Zhuang Family. If her family opposes them being together, don’t you think they’ll speak ill in her ear?"

She paused and continued, "Some matters, when heard once, might be ignored, but if too often, they might sway."

Seeing Jiang Jingheng unmoved, Yin Manqing’s patience ran out.

"I’m saying this for your own good. Think about it properly."

The door closed, Jiang Jingheng looked up, a gloom in his light brown eyes.

Should the fate of his relationship with her be decided by unrelated people?

He didn’t believe Mu Yan would leave him.

But he understood her character more than anyone. Yin Manqing was somewhat right; she was too soft-hearted and would eventually return to the Zhuang Family.

Zhuang Zeyang’s words today were clear; the Zhuang Family might not be satisfied with him.

He knew that revealing her identity would bring a series of troubles.

Thinking about all those complicated people in her future life, he felt restless and wished he could hide her away.

The whole afternoon, Mu Yan was a bit distracted and often lost focus while memorizing scripts.

Should she go back?

Actually, making a decision wasn’t that difficult, was it?

When Jiang Jingheng returned in the evening and lay in bed, she shared her thoughts with him.

Jiang Jingheng did not object, "Do whatever you want."

"Okay." Mu Yan felt somewhat reassured.

Seeing her relaxed expression, he gently said, "Sleep."

"Okay." Mu Yan closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Jiang Jingheng watched her peaceful sleeping face, lately, he often had a feeling that she would leave him.

He had worked so hard to be the only thing in her eyes, and now some so-called family members were competing for her attention.

She didn’t need those people; having him was enough.

What should he do to make her see only him again?

He stroked her smooth cheek, eyes filled with a crazed possessiveness.

The next morning, Mu Yan called Zhuang Zeyang.

"I’ve got some sudden work arrangements these days that I can’t turn down, so I can’t go back with you. Let’s talk when I’m done."

By saying so, she had already conceded a bit.

Zhuang Zeyang didn’t push her.

"Alright, call me when you’re done, and I’ll have your brother come to pick you up. If you still refuse to come back, I’ll have to make another trip as your uncle."

Mu Yan understood his unspoken implication that if she didn’t return, he would come to take her by force. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Rest assured, I will keep my promise."

Mu Yan made this decision quickly, but she didn’t regret it. What needed to be faced would have to be faced in the end.
