A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 866: Quarrel!

Mu Yan dragged her suitcase to the doorway of the hospital room when someone suddenly rushed out, causing her to stumble back a few steps.

She took a closer look and realized it was Luo Yao, who seemed very upset, tears hanging in her eyes.

Mu Yan approached with concern and asked, "What happened?"

Could it be that Mu Chen...

Her heart instantly plummeted to the depths.

But Luo Yao didn’t answer her, just glanced at her, covered her face, and ran away.

Watching her retreating figure, Mu Yan vaguely guessed something and felt a small sense of relief as she turned and entered the hospital room.

Mu Chen was sitting on the hospital bed with a gloomy face, surrounded by shattered porcelain pieces on the floor, clearly indicating a recent argument.

Seeing Mu Yan enter, he called out, "Sister, you’re here."

He tried hard to muster a smile, but he didn’t realize it looked even worse than crying.

Mu Yan brought in her suitcase, frowned, and said, "What happened, did you upset Luo Yao to tears just now?"

Mu Chen frowned and said, "I didn’t mean to upset her; she just wouldn’t listen to me."

"What did you tell her?"

"I told her not to cling to me," Mu Chen said, turning his face away.

"No wonder she’s so sad, you’re clearly just provoking her," Mu Yan said with a frown.

"I’m just being honest. I don’t like her that way, why would she quit her job to be with me?" Mu Chen said angrily.

Mu Yan walked over to him, looked into his eyes, and asked, "Are you really not interested in her?"

"Not interested!" Mu Chen replied firmly.

Mu Yan could somewhat guess his thoughts and nodded, "Fine, if you don’t like her, you don’t like her."

"Then make sure she doesn’t keep coming around," Mu Chen added.

Mu Yan chuckled softly, "So, after rejecting her, you don’t even want to be friends with her?"

Mu Chen retorted, "Do you think I can still be just friends with her?"

Mu Yan thought for a moment, and indeed, no one willingly stays just friends.

"Luo Yao is a good girl. I hope you won’t regret it in the future."

"I definitely won’t regret it!" Mu Chen snorted lightly, lowering his eyes, a shadow of sadness in them.

Mu Yan said nothing more, took a broom to sweep up the shattered porcelain, and began tidying up the trash on the coffee table.

When Mu Chen saw her with the suitcase, he knew she’d be staying to keep him company for a few days, which made him happy, though he grumbled.

"Sis, with you here every day, how will brother-in-law not feel neglected?"

"Don’t worry, your brother-in-law won’t get jealous. He’s very understanding," Mu Yan laughed. Seeing Mu Chen’s sallow complexion, her eyes were filled with affection. "How about I take you out for a walk later?"

"Okay." Mu Chen smiled; he really enjoyed spending time with his sister.

Shortly after they finished tidying up, Mu Yan received a call from Ruan Xinyu.

"I’m at the hospital."

"No, it’s not me, my brother is hospitalized, I’m with him."

"I’m doing well; you all take care of yourselves too."

"Alright, I’ll visit when I have the time."

Mu Yan hung up the phone, let out a light breath. Every weekend, the Zhuang Family would call to check on her situation.

This time when the scandal broke, the Zhuang Family helped her suppress it, yet they never brought it up directly, probably to avoid burdening her.

Honestly, her ability to ’pressure’ the old man into punishing Jiang Yutai at the Jiang Family last night was thanks to the Zhuang Family’s support.

Since they’ve been so kind to her, she must repay them. She should find some time to visit again.

At the Zhuang Family’s place, Old Mrs. Zhuang watched eagerly as her daughter-in-law finished the call.

"Mom, don’t worry, Nuannuan is doing fine," Ruan Xinyu smiled.

Just awhile ago, when she offered to let her mother-in-law talk to Nuannuan, she refused, and now she’s regretting it after the call ended.

Old Mrs. Zhuang sighed, "I just don’t know when my dear Nuannuan will come back to see this old body of mine."

"She’s busy having affairs and stirring up scandals, hiding in a man’s embrace, she hardly has time to come back." A female voice echoed from the staircase.
