A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 550: Nuannuan, is that you?

Ning Shishen picked up the photo frame, fingers gently tracing the little girl’s cheeks. The more he looked, the more Mu Yan’s features resembled hers.

And now it had come out that Mu Yan wasn’t really a Mu. The thought he had intentionally ignored in the past resurfaced again. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Actually, the two of them had many things in common.

Not just in appearance, but even their hobbies were the same. They both liked sunflowers and even had the same talent in painting.

Furthermore, Mu Yan’s pen name also contained her name.

Are these just coincidences? In the past, he could persuade himself it was, but now he doesn’t want to believe that.

Some emotions were beyond control, flooding his heart.

That night, after the charity gala ended, she left without saying a word.

He envied Jiang Jingheng, was even jealous of him.

From the moment Jiang Jingheng appeared, her eyes were only on him, and everything else turned into air.

If he had met her first, if he and she had a deeper connection, would the ending be different?

So, no matter what, he wanted a result.

Back then, she was just seven years old. A separation of fifteen years; it was possible she wouldn’t remember him.

Or perhaps something happened in between that made her forget the past.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and said, "Come in for a moment."

Soon, the assistant came in and asked, "Boss, what are your orders?"

"Help me check on Mu Yan. I need all her information, as fast as possible."

"Yes!" the assistant responded, turned around, and left.

Ning Shishen placed the photo frame on the table and murmured softly, "Nuannuan, is it really you?"

After a walk to clear her mind, Mu Yan’s mood still couldn’t calm down.

The disparity in social status had always been a knot in her heart, a knot tightly wound.

She couldn’t untie it, and neither could anyone else.

Originally, she wanted to go to the hospital to accompany Mu Chen, but she was afraid he would notice something and worry about her.

She dawdled in her room until dusk, when Jiang Jingheng called, saying he wanted to take her out for dinner.

Mu Yan changed her clothes and put on a bit of light makeup.

When Jiang Jingheng came back from work to pick her up, he was very pleased to see her dressed in a simple sweater and jeans.

He casually asked, "What did you do at home this afternoon?"

"I went out for a walk this afternoon and then looked at some scripts," Mu Yan replied.

Mu Yan looked at him and asked, "Why are we suddenly going out for dinner?"

"Dong Le and the others arranged it, they invited us," Jiang Jingheng replied.

"Alright," Mu Yan responded. Her face was serene, but the sadness in her eyes seemed unable to dissipate.

Jiang Jingheng gripped her hand tightly and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Mu Yan met his concerned gaze and smiled slightly, "Nothing, let’s go. We shouldn’t keep them waiting."

"Okay," Jiang Jingheng drew back his gaze, holding her hand as they walked out.

In the private room of the club, Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan arrived after Dong Le and the others had already gotten there.

As soon as they arrived, everyone stood up.

"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law."

"Jing Heng, sister-in-law."

Jiang Jingheng was always reserved, saying nothing, while Mu Yan greeted everyone one by one.

Seeing them, Dong Le said, "Brother Jiang and sister-in-law are here, the food can be served now."

"Ning Ze didn’t come," Song Cheng’an asked, "Aren’t we waiting for him?"

"That guy said he wouldn’t come," Dong Le snorted lightly.

"What’s the matter? Did you two quarrel?" Lu Hao asked.

Dong Le felt wronged, "How dare I argue with him? He’s recently infatuated with an older female singer, chasing after her eagerly."

"Wow, Ning Xiao’er has ambition now," Song Cheng’an laughed. "Ditching young models for mature women?"

"Probably just a whim, looking for something fresh," Dong Le scoffed lightly, shrugging his shoulders, "Forget it, let’s just sit down and eat."

Mu Yan glanced at Dong Le, her eyes sweeping over the others in the room.

Everyone seemed to think Ning Ze was just toying around; they inwardly looked down on the girl he was pursuing.

Then... do they also look down on her? Do they not approve of her and Jiang Jingheng’s relationship?
