A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 799: As Sweet as You!

"Hmm?" Jiang Jingheng looked at her, puzzled.

Mu Yan lowered her eyelids and said softly, "I left the Zhuang Family on purpose, making everyone think I was bullied by Zhuang Chujiao."

She just wanted to know if anyone from the Zhuang Family would stand by her when she was "bullied" by Zhuang Chujiao and the others.

But knowing that her grandparents were furious about it, she felt that she was too calculating and didn’t deserve their love.

"Isn’t that being bullied? A father who doesn’t care and a stepmother with an evil sister," Jiang Jingheng chuckled lightly.

Mu Yan didn’t think much of it at first, but with his words, she felt like a pitiful little thing, and her mood instantly worsened.

"I’ve been bullied, and you’re so happy, gloating over my misfortune."

Jiang Jingheng looked at her puffed-up expression, a slight smile at the corner of his lips, "It’s not gloating; it’s just that no matter what they do, I’ll always be the one who cares for you most."

"No laughing!" Mu Yan glared at him.

He still says it’s not gloating, but she doesn’t know what to say about him, his possessiveness is too strong.

This time Jiang Jingheng didn’t laugh, looking at her seriously.

In the end, it was Mu Yan who broke down, laughing uncontrollably, and the little unpleasantness from earlier was instantly gone.

"Don’t overthink it; this also shows that you care about them." Jiang Jingheng held her hand and comforted her.

If she didn’t care about the Zhuang Family, she wouldn’t have gone to test them.

Thinking of this, a shadow passed through his eyes.

He knew that once they came to Beijing, her heart would have more people, like her grandparents. In the future, as her connections in Beijing strengthened, the people she cared about would increase, and his place in her heart would grow smaller.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Yan tilted her head to look at him.

Jiang Jingheng snapped back, looking forward, calmly saying, "I’m thinking about what to have for lunch."

Mu Yan thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat king crab, and I also want hot pot."

"No."

Mu Yan frowned and whispered, "Stingy."

"Hmm?"

Mu Yan muttered, "Won’t even buy me king crab and hot pot."

Jiang Jingheng was amused, grabbed her hand and bit it lightly, saying, "I’ve already given you my salary card, and you still say I’m stingy? Hmm?"

Mu Yan’s face instantly turned red, proudly saying, "That’s right, I’m the CFO of the house, so whatever I say we eat, we eat."

Since the beginning of this year, after confirming their relationship, he gave her his secondary card. Later, he also transferred some stocks, bonds, and properties under his name to her.

Jiang Jingheng said helplessly, "You can’t eat crab, your constitution isn’t great. Every time the time of the month comes, who’s the one in pain, almost crying? Besides, Beijing is dry, having hot pot easily causes inflammation, then you’ll complain about breakouts and being upset."

Mu Yan tilted her head to look at him, feeling sweet inside, and the last bit of unpleasantness was gone.

No matter if others care about him or not, as long as this man cares about her, that’s enough.

At noon, Jiang Jingheng went to a restaurant owned by a friend in Beijing and asked his friend to get a small portion of cold pot skewers, and also ordered a crab roe tofu dish.

Mu Yan ate the skewers, occasionally feeding the person across from her.

"Hubby, is it good?" She asked with a grin.

Jiang Jingheng finished the food in his mouth and said without a change in expression, "Yes."

Mu Yan snickered, noticing his lips turned red from the spiciness, yet he was holding on.

He was a native of Upper City and had a preference for sweet food, not being able to handle spicy.

She pushed the watermelon juice beside her to him, "I don’t want this, finish it, no wasting."

Jiang Jingheng said nothing, took a sip, then looked at her and said, "Very sweet."

Mu Yan was about to speak when she heard him say, "Sweet like you!"
