A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 843: A Turning Point?
As night fell, the room was somewhat dim, his arrival like a stone into water, initially earth-shattering, followed by a strange quiet of an impending storm.
Mu Yan was originally annoyed with him, but didn’t intend to kick him off the bed.
She sat up, looked at the man sitting on the ground, and suddenly covered her mouth and giggled.
Jiang Jingheng looked at the girl laughing uncontrollably on the bed with a dark face, suddenly got up, leaned forward, and trapped her within his arms.
"Very funny?" His tone dangerous, he bit her earlobe.
Mu Yan was trapped by him, unable to move, her ears tingling, her body softened a bit.
She softly hummed, "I didn’t laugh."
Jiang Jingheng raised an eyebrow, since when did she learn to lie while looking him in the eye.
"Quite strong, huh?"
Mu Yan felt proud, smirked and said, "Not bad, not bad."
Just barely enough to kick him off the bed, but that was enough.
Jiang Jingheng chuckled softly, "Before, I always worried you couldn’t handle it, now I see I’ve overthought, after all, you kick with such force."
Mu Yan knew he wanted to take this opportunity for revenge, awkwardly smiled, "I’m so tired now."
"Really?" Jiang Jingheng chuckled, his hand had already landed on her waist.
Mu Yan shivered, hurriedly grabbed his hand, began to admit fault, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have kicked you off the bed, but I’m so hungry now, haven’t you noticed I’ve lost weight recently?"
Seeing her cleverness, Jiang Jingheng couldn’t help but think, now she knows his weaknesses, knows how to handle him?
He pinched her cheek, the flesh not too much nor too little, although there was more on her waist than before, she wasn’t fat, holding her was more comfortable than before.
"Why do I feel you’ve gained weight?"
His tone carried a bit of pride, she gained weight, and it was because of his feeding.
Mu Yan didn’t take the bait, deliberately said, "Fine, I’ve gained weight, then I won’t have dinner at night from now on."
"You can eat, but don’t forget exercise." Jiang Jingheng chuckled, "Am I not helping you lose weight right now?"
"Well, thank you!" Mu Yan said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
"You’re welcome!"
Mu Yan was vexed, she could never outmatch his shamelessness.
After their playful banter, Jiang Jingheng didn’t intend to continue, it was indeed late, time for dinner.
"Today is Lan Xi’s birthday, tidy up, we need to head out."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yan pinched Jiang Jingheng, "How could you not tell me about something so important!"
She hadn’t prepared a gift for Lan Xi.
"Important?" Jiang Jingheng frowned.
Mu Yan didn’t bother to respond, pushed him aside, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom.
Jiang Jingheng watched her back, a shadow of gloom crossed his eyes.
Too many people crowded her heart, how could he continue to squeeze more in. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
After tidying up, it was about eight o’clock.
Mu Yan was quite anxious, it was Lan Xi’s birthday and they were going so late, she hadn’t even properly prepared a gift.
"Lan Xi has everything, she won’t care about your gift." Jiang Jingheng grabbed his wife’s hand, trying to calm her inner agitation.
Mu Yan glanced at him, she wouldn’t argue the significance of gifting friends with a straight guy.
By nearly nine o’clock, Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng arrived at the venue.
Lan Xi had quite a few friends, the open-air restaurant on the top floor of the five-star hotel had been reserved entirely, while Jiang Jingheng and those who were close to her were placed in a private room.
When Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng arrived, they saw Lan Xi holding Lu Hao’s arm, chatting with friends.
Lan Xi was wearing a red off-the-shoulder dress, with light makeup, her brows and eyes filled with a happy smile.
As for Lu Hao, his enthusiasm seemed lacking, a casual demeanor.
Mu Yan vaguely felt that the relationship between these two had changed recently, after all, Lan Xi was upset about Lu Hao rejecting marriage last time.
Could it be, there’s a turnaround in this situation?
