A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 899: Acting Cute!

As soon as Mu Yan heard they were returning home today, she immediately protested.

"No way, tomorrow is the film festival, and I need to walk the red carpet."

Jiang Jingheng frowned, "Is walking the red carpet that important?"

"I already promised Director Chen and the others, and my injury isn’t serious. Besides, I got injured because I came to attend the film festival; if I just go back like this, don’t you think my getting hurt this time would be completely pointless?"

Jiang Jingheng looked at her earnest expression and said with a frown, "Listen to me."

"I won’t!" Mu Yan replied directly, "Why do I always have to listen to you, but you don’t listen to me?"

She pouted like a rebellious child.

Jiang Jingheng was momentarily at a loss for words at her questioning, then suddenly laughed, his eyes filled with interest, "Is Mrs. Jiang being coquettish?"

"That’s right, I’m being coquettish; will you do as I ask or not!" Mu Yan grabbed his collar and said stubbornly.

Jiang Jingheng wrapped her in his arms and chuckled softly, "How could I not? After all, our Mrs. Jiang calls the shots."

"Now that’s more like it!" Mu Yan looked at him with some satisfaction.

Seeing that she wasn’t frightened by what happened yesterday, Jiang Jingheng felt a sense of relief in his heart.

He indeed wanted her to leave this troublesome place quickly, but fleeing back in defeat would definitely leave a shadow in her heart.

With him here, anyone who wanted to harm her would have to think twice about their capability.

Besides, it gave him a good opportunity to investigate the matter.

In the bathroom, Mu Yan was washing up when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Just as she was about to answer the door, Jiang Jingheng beat her to it.

Sister Wen and Wang Linjia, concerned about Mu Yan, came over in the morning to check on her.

Little did they expect, as soon as the door opened, they saw a man.

Wang Linjia was okay; she had met Jiang Jingheng before.

But it was Sister Wen’s first time seeing him, and although she didn’t know his relationship with Mu Yan, she could still guess who he was.

Thinking of a certain possibility, her face instantly tightened.

In her mind, a kind and sensible girl like Mu Yan couldn’t be wrong; if there was a mistake, it was being too young and too naive.

As for those second-generation rich kids, they’re good for nothing, only playing with girls’ feelings.

They just came to inquire about Mu Yan’s condition, and seeing she was fine, they left reassured.

Jiang Jingheng closed the door, and Mu Yan’s voice came from the bathroom.

"Who was it?"

"Director Chen’s wife and Miss Wang," Jiang Jingheng answered.

"Oh."

Outside the door, Sister Wen asked Wang Linjia, "What’s the relationship between Mu Yan and this young master of the Jiang Family? You seem to be quite familiar with him."

"One’s my sister, and the other’s my brother-in-law; do you think I wouldn’t be familiar?" Wang Linjia replied with a smile. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Brother-in-law?" Sister Wen looked at her in surprise.

"Yes, Mu Yan is my distant cousin, and Young Master Jiang is her husband, so of course, he’s my brother-in-law."

Sister Wen’s eyes widened, "You mean..."

Wang Linjia nodded at her with a smile, "Exactly what you think."

Sister Wen, "..."

She thought she needed some time to digest this news.

She had always thought Mu Yan was a pitiable girl with no one to care for her, never imagining her family background was unusual and her husband so extraordinary.

After breakfast, Jiang Jingheng asked Mu Yan about what happened yesterday.

Mu Yan recounted the events to him, and Jiang Jingheng’s attention was drawn to the man named Jordon.

This name seemed somewhat familiar.

And soon enough, Jordon called Mu Yan, saying there had been progress in the case!
