A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 541 You are my woman!

The night breeze was slightly chilly. Two figures stood by the roadside. Cars sped past them in a cacophony that couldn’t break the solitude in his heart.

Qin Xi looked at his dejected expression and comforted him by saying, "Weren’t you aware early on that she would date someone and eventually get married? Though it’s a bit sooner than expected, as long as she’s happy, that’s what matters."

"Is she really happy?" Lin Jiamu countered.

He looked at Qin Xi and said solemnly, "Do you think she can be happy with him? The waters are too deep in such prestigious families. Can she handle it?"

"I used to worry about that too, but seeing how Young Master Jiang isn’t concerned, what should we fear?" Qin Xi chuckled.

Lin Jiamu frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"With his status, agreeing to marry Mu Yan—what do you think that signifies?" Qin Xi responded.

Lin Jiamu said nothing; he understood her implication.

Prestigious families traditionally use marriages to secure their position, and Jiang Jingheng marrying Mu Yan would surely displease his family and perhaps affect his own standing.

He’s not a fool. The only reason he’d willingly do this is out of love.

"Alright, let me take you home first," Lin Jiamu said.

"Sure!" Qin Xi nodded.

They got into the car together and drove in silence as Lin Jiamu dropped Qin Xi off outside her apartment building.

Qin Xi got out of the car and said to Lin Jiamu, "Drive slowly and get some rest early."

"Mm, you too," Lin Jiamu nodded, pressed the accelerator, and drove away.

Qin Xi watched his car disappear from sight. As she turned to enter the gate, she saw a figure standing behind her.

She was startled and stepped back suddenly, "Who’s there!"

That figure moved suddenly, walking towards her.

Qin Xi instinctively stepped back, and just as she was about to run, the person blocked her path.

She finally saw his face clearly and, out of anger, kicked him, "What are you doing, scaring me like that at night!"

Ning Ze took a solid hit to the leg but seemed unfazed, looking at Qin Xi with accusing eyes, "Who was that man just now?"

Qin Xi couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "What’s it to you?"

With that, she started walking inside.

Ning Ze quickly caught up and said, "Of course it concerns me. You’re my woman, and I don’t allow you to date other men."

Qin Xi almost laughed out of anger, "Who said I’m your woman? Are you crazy!"

"I said so. I like you, so you’re definitely mine." Ning Ze blocked her path and looked at her with a resolute face.

Qin Xi thought it was pointless to reason with such a brat. She couldn’t be bothered to waste words on him, pushed him aside, and continued on her way.

"Wife, wait for me," Ning Ze immediately pursued her.

Qin Xi turned around abruptly, glaring at him, "Say that again!"

Ning Ze stopped in his tracks, looked at her, and softly called out, "Wife..."

"Are you seeking death!" Qin Xi stepped forward and grabbed his ear, "What should you call me?"

"Ouch, wife, it hurts!" Ning Ze cried out.

It wasn’t too late, and there were people around. Qin Xi scanned the surroundings quickly, relieved that no one was nearby.

She furiously kicked Ning Ze’s leg, shook him off, and walked ahead.

Ning Ze rubbed his calf, watching her storm off, and a grin crept onto his lips—wild enough; he liked that.

As they say, sincerity can conquer even the hardest metal. He refused to believe he couldn’t take down this fortress.

Avoiding him, huh? Then he would just stick to her himself.

"Wife, considering I’ve waited all night for you, let me stay over tonight!" he quickly followed her.
