A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 719: Chapter 719: Someone Wants to See You!

When Dong Le mentioned it, everyone started guessing that Ning Ze had a girlfriend.

”Oh right, why didn’t your girlfriend come again?” Lan Xi asked Ning Ze.

”She had something to do,” Ning Ze replied, his expression intriguing and seemingly not very happy.

Dong Le chuckled, ”Could it be that you already broke up?”

Ning Ze glared at Dong Le, ”Quit talking nonsense, we’re doing just fine!”

Dong Le shrugged, ”Then why don’t you bring her over for us to meet?”

”What’s the rush? I’ll bring her to meet you eventually!” Ning Ze retorted impatiently.

Dong Le wanted to say more, but was stopped by Lu Hao.

”Alright, let’s eat, everyone’s starving.”

Dong Le gave him a look and said nothing more.

Everyone took their seats, and Ning Ze immediately stepped up to enliven the atmosphere.

The Upper City circle is so small that any incident in any family would be spread within hours.

They had heard about Jiang Jingheng’s conflict with the Jiang Family this morning. Though there wasn’t much they could do to help a brother in trouble, they at least wanted to offer some comfort.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Jiang Jingheng appeared relaxed, showing no signs of worry or distress.

Even though everyone was used to Jing Heng’s confidence, they all felt a bit uncertain at this moment.

”Brother Jiang, this time your old man isn’t serious, is he?” Dong Le asked tentatively.

Jiang Jingheng put down his wine glass, glanced at everyone’s worried faces, and said calmly, ”It’s no big deal.”

Everyone exchanged glances and didn’t continue the topic.

Even though Old Sir Jiang was biased, Jiang Jingheng wasn’t easy to deal with either.

Ning Ze’s attention shifted to Mu Yan and he smiled, ”Sister-in-law, you’re looking good today. Is there some happy event lately?”

Now everyone’s attention was on Mu Yan.

She calmly accepted everyone’s gaze and smiled, ”Yes, there is a happy event.”

Seeing her bright smile, everyone’s gaze unconsciously fell on her stomach, could it be...

Considering the two had been married for over a year, it wouldn’t be surprising if there was news.

Lan Xi was the first to say, ”Congratulations to Brother Jiang and sister-in-law.”

”Why congratulate him?” Mu Yan seemed a bit puzzled.

Everyone was momentarily stunned, wasn’t it?

Zheng Lu Hua asked, ”Sister-in-law, what happy event are you talking about?”

”My new movie is being released in the summer,” Mu Yan replied. ”I’d appreciate your support then.”

Ah, a new movie. Everyone shot a glance at Jiang Jingheng, seeing his usual expression, they suddenly understood. So that’s it.

A progress in sister-in-law’s career is indeed a happy event.

Dong Le immediately said, ”Don’t worry, sister-in-law, I’ll book a hundred screenings when your new movie is released.”

Lu Hao followed, ”I’ll do a hundred too.”

”Then I’ll have to go for two hundred,” Ning Ze said.

”Come on, Ning Xiao’er, you want to steal the spotlight too?” Dong Le was dissatisfied.

”What do you mean steal the spotlight,” Ning Ze said irritably. ”I also need to represent my wife to support sister-in-law, don’t I?”

Dong Le was speechless for a moment, fine, he had a girlfriend, he was smug, alright then.

Actually, the release of a new movie wasn’t really that much of a happy event for Mu Yan. What truly made her happy was having such a man by her side who cherished and adored her, and she was also trying to let go of the painful memories from the past to embrace a new life.

However, these were just not things she could share with outsiders.

”The dishes are going to get cold,” a gentle voice came to her ear.

Mu Yan smiled at him and continued eating on her own.

After the meal, they booked a private room to sing karaoke.

Song Cheng’an called Mu Yan out, saying, ”Someone wants to see you.”
