A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: She Belongs to Him

Just then, Lan Xi came over and asked, ”Where are we going to play now?”

”Didn’t you just leave?” Ning Ze looked at her in confusion.

Lan Xi snorted lightly, ”Why should I stay and get scolded by Brother Jiang? Brother Jiang is the worst, embarrassing me like that for an outsider.”

Song Cheng’an and the others looked a bit serious; this girl still hadn’t learned her lesson.

Lu Hao said helplessly, ”Next time, be a bit more courteous to Mu Yan. After all, she is Brother Jiang’s person, and today Brother Jiang was really angry.”

Lan Xi didn’t believe that Brother Jiang would punish her over a woman.

However, she always behaved well in front of Lu Hao, so she nodded, ”I understand.”

”Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”

”Okay.”

At this time, Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng had already gotten into the car.

In the car, Mu Yan started to confront Jiang Jingheng, ”Didn’t we agree to pretend we didn’t know each other?”

”You only said you would pretend not to know me, you didn’t say I had to pretend not to know you,” Jiang Jingheng raised an eyebrow.

Mu Yan, ”...”

He really knows how to exploit loopholes in words.

She sighed, ”I guess in their eyes I’m probably no different than a seductress now.”

”No.”

”Hmm?” Mu Yan’s eyes lit up.

”Do you have some misunderstanding about seductresses?” Jiang Jingheng chuckled softly.

Looking down on her? Mu Yan snorted, ”Are you implying I don’t have enough charm to seduce anyone?”

”You do.” Jiang Jingheng looked at her, his peach blossom eyes slightly raised with a teasing yet seductive smile, ”You’ve got me head over heels!”

Mu Yan looked into his light brown eyes, her breath hitched, her cheeks flushed, and her heart raced uncontrollably.

A thought suddenly popped into her mind, he’s the real seductress!

Back at the Jinxiu Court Villa, Mu Yan changed out of her high heels, slipped into slippers, and rushed upstairs.

Jiang Jingheng came in after parking the car, but she had already gone up.

A faint smile appeared on his lips as he thought about her shy and angry look; his heart felt ticklish.

After returning to her room, Mu Yan immediately went to the bathroom to wash her face.

The heat on her face subsided, but the warmth in her heart couldn’t dissipate as quickly.

She didn’t know why she was so easily affected by him lately.

It felt like she stepped into an unknown territory, feeling both anticipation and unease.

She took a deep breath, telling herself not to overthink.

She walked out of the bathroom, got her pajamas, and went back to take a shower.

Shortly after Jiang Jingheng returned to his room, he received a call and walked to the balcony to answer it.

”What’s up?” His voice seemed to be tainted by the night, carrying a hint of chill.

”Nothing, I didn’t get a chance to chat with you during dinner, so I called to say hi.”

”What do you want to say?”

”Is it her?” he asked.

Jiang Jingheng looked at the deep night ahead, not answering.

The person on the other end quickly continued, ”I can tell you really care about her, but it seems like you’re deliberately hiding something.”

A cold gleam flashed in Jiang Jingheng’s exquisite peach blossom eyes, and he said coldly, ”Which words should be said, which shouldn’t, I shouldn’t have to teach you.”

”You’re mistaken, I’m not trying to stir up trouble, I just wanted to say she seems like a nice girl!”

”Not seems, she is!”

”Haha... you, I feel like I’m looking at the you from years ago.”

Jiang Jingheng didn’t know what he was reminded of, his gaze drifted afar, a touch of softness appearing in his light brown eyes.

The person on the other end continued, ”Your current state makes me a little worried. Between lovers, honesty is necessary, dark seeds often take root and germinate in silence, and if discovered one day, the consequences could be unimaginable.”

”What you’re worried about won’t happen.” A shadow briefly crossed Jiang Jingheng’s eyes.

Even if it did, so what, she was his.
