A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Toad!

In the private room, Lan Xi was singing while the others gathered around the table playing cards.

Mu Yan quietly sat next to Jiang Jingheng, watching them play.

Jiang Jingheng, fearing she might be bored, asked, ”Want to play?”

”No.” Mu Yan refused without a second thought.

Jiang Jingheng saw her resistant expression, his gaze deepened slightly, and he asked softly, ”Bored?”

Mu Yan replied, ”Not at all, I just don’t like playing cards. I’ll go sing with Lan Xi.”

”Hmm.” Jiang Jingheng responded.

Mu Yan stood up and went over to where Lan Xi was.

Lan Xi was singing a love song with a sweet expression, her gaze frequently glancing over at Lu Hao at the card table.

Unfortunately, Lu Hao was completely focused on the cards and didn’t notice at all.

Mu Yan felt a bit unjust for Lan Xi, but this was her own choice.

Seeing her approach, Lan Xi asked, ”Why aren’t you playing cards with Brother Jiang?”

”Playing cards is boring.” Mu Yan said casually.

”True, a good girl like you probably doesn’t enjoy that kind of pastime. Let’s sing together, what songs do you know? I’ll pick them.” Lan Xi turned to the screen to choose songs.

The songs Lan Xi knew, Mu Yan didn’t, so she mostly just listened to her sing and helped her pick songs.

The more idle she was, the more her heart felt lonely and suppressed.

After sitting for a while, she went out.

Lan Xi volunteered to go out with her, to prevent her from being alone, fearing Brother Jiang wouldn’t be happy.

They went to the restroom and then found a spot by the window to chat.

Suddenly, Lan Xi asked, ”Is there something on your mind?”

Mu Yan glanced at her, was it that obvious?

After a moment of silence, she said, ”I want to ask you a question.”

”Hmm?”

”If you didn’t know that Jiang Jingheng and I are married, do you think we would be able to get married?”

Lan Xi looked at her in surprise, why such a roundabout question?

”There’s no ’if’, you are already Brother Jiang’s wife.”

Mu Yan paused slightly at heart, that’s true too.

She changed the way she asked, ”Before I appeared, what do you think Brother Jiang’s wife should be like?”

Lan Xi didn’t understand why she was entangled with this question, thought for a moment, and said, ”Probably someone from a prestigious family, with a strong personality, able to stand on her own. After all, Brother Jiang’s status in the Jiang Family is awkward, having a strong wife would be a great help.”

Saying this, she realized it wasn’t right, glanced at Mu Yan, and whispered, ”Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean you’re not good...”

”I know.” Mu Yan interrupted her, ”I also don’t think I’m not good.”

She’s good, but this kind of good doesn’t suit him.

Lan Xi examined her expression and asked, ”What’s wrong, did you have a conflict with Brother Jiang? Didn’t you say you don’t care about the rumors with Liu Xiangqing?”

”I don’t.” Mu Yan smiled, ”Don’t overthink it, I was just asking casually.”

Lan Xi recalled the incident with Mrs. Zhao and others this afternoon and slowly figured it out.

”Don’t worry too much, as long as Brother Jiang treats you well, you don’t need to care about his family.”

Mu Yan smiled silently, these words were just to console her.

Once her identity was exposed, it wouldn’t be possible to ignore it.

After standing for a while, the two of them returned to the private room.

Jiang Jingheng checked the time, it was nine o’clock, time to head back.

He told Lu Hao and the others, got up, and went out to find Mu Yan.

He walked a few steps down the corridor when a door suddenly opened beside him and a few people rushed out.

He immediately stepped back to avoid them.

”Who the hell is blind enough to block this young master’s way?” A drunken voice sounded.

The young man swayed unsteadily, carefully supported by the people beside him, clearly having drunk a lot.

The people behind him saw the big shot standing nearby and immediately shouted, ”Young Master Jiang!”

The young man raised his head and saw it was Jiang Jingheng, sarcastically saying, ”Who did I think it was? Turns out it’s just a toad!”
