A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Narrow-Minded

”In what way?” Lan Xi was momentarily stunned, her expression instantly turning sour, ”What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think I’m like you?”

Mu Yan’s lips curved into a smile, ”So you’re still just a little girl!”

”What do you mean by that!” Lan Xi felt she was being looked down upon.

What’s wrong with being a little girl, does that mean little girls also have to be looked down upon by other women?

Mu Yan smiled slightly, ”It means that little girls don’t know anything and should stay out of adult affairs.”

”You...” Lan Xi was at a loss for words.

Clearly, she looked younger than her, pretending to be an adult!

”If you keep blocking me, your Brother Jiang might get angry when he can’t find me later.” Mu Yan wore an innocent look.

Lan Xi was infuriated, knowing this woman was threatening her, but she didn’t dare offend Brother Jiang.

”Just you wait!” she said fiercely, storming off in anger.

Mu Yan watched her back and smiled, enjoying the feeling of borrowing a tiger’s might.

When she returned to the private room, she saw Jiang Jingheng’s friends looking at her with admiration.

She was puzzled; it seemed like she hadn’t done anything remarkable.

Mu Yan looked at Jiang Jingheng and asked, ”Are we leaving now?”

”Do you want to keep playing?” Jiang Jingheng came over and asked.

Mu Yan shook her head, not liking the atmosphere here, wishing to leave quickly.

”Then let’s go.” Jiang Jingheng said.

Mu Yan glanced at Song Cheng’an and the others, ”What about them?”

Jiang Jingheng turned back, following her gaze.

Ning Ze immediately said, ”Of course, we’re going home too.”

”Yeah, it’s so late, who would still be out playing?” Dong Le chimed in.

Mu Yan gave them a surprised look; was this late for them?

Had she misunderstood the rich second generation’s vibrant nightlife before?

”Never mind them, let’s go.” Jiang Jingheng said.

Mu Yan nodded, glancing at the others, ”I’ll be off then, nice meeting you all today.”

”It was nice meeting you too.” Lu Hao and the others waved at her with a smile, ”See you next time.”

Mu Yan nodded, ”See you next time.”

Although she said so, she doubted there would be a next time.

Ning Ze and the others stood at the private room door watching Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan leave, their expressions varied.

Ning Ze suddenly said, ”Do you think Brother Jiang stopped going to nightclubs over the years because he feared his girlfriend would be unhappy?”

Everyone exchanged glances, and Dong Le suddenly said, ”Nonsense, Brother Jiang stopped going to nightclubs years ago, and Mu Yan wasn’t even in the picture then.”

Ning Ze thought for a moment and nodded, ”That’s true.”

”But Brother Jiang really does care a lot about her.” Dong Le pondered.

Ning Ze was a bit curious, ”How so?”

Dong Le recounted the night in the private room when they watched the ”Voice of Dreams” live stream.

”Back then, I thought Brother Jiang was watching the stock market, but turns out he was watching a live stream, and the comments were flying by.” Dong Le made an exaggerated face, ”You guys didn’t notice how his eyes were practically glued to the screen.”

Ning Ze had a sudden realization, ”No wonder Brother Jiang got angry at us for talking that night; turns out we were disturbing his live stream viewing.”

Dong Le glanced at Ning Ze, ”That night, Brother Lu seemed keen on setting you up with Mu Yan.”

Ning Ze’s face instantly turned ashen; looking at Lu Hao, he lamented, ”Brother Lu, what do you have against me to harm me like this!”

He realized why Brother Jiang’s gaze was so frosty that night; he was likely ready to finish him off.

Lu Hao looked a bit helpless, ”I didn’t know back then, otherwise would I have said that?”

Song Cheng An looked at Ning Ze’s miserable face and laughed, ”Alright, even though your Brother Jiang is as petty as a needle, he’s probably not worried about you now, let’s go.”
