A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 838: Chapter 838: He Can Afford to Wait!

Late at night, at the Ning Family mansion, the study door opened, Ning Shishen walked out and saw Ning Ze coming out of the room heading downstairs.

He asked, ”Didn’t you just get back not long ago? Where are you going?”

”Going to drink with Brother Jiang and the others,” Ning Ze replied.

Ning Shishen glanced at his phone, it was past ten o’clock.

He frowned and said, ”He’s going out drinking this late? Did he have a fight with Mu Yan?”

Ning Ze paused, then laughed, ”Of course not, lately sister-in-law has been staying at the hospital with her brother, she’s not home, Brother Jiang probably feels bored.”

”Is that so?” Ning Shishen responded, changing the topic, ”Mom was urging you to bring your girlfriend home tonight.”

A trace of impatience flashed in Ning Ze’s eyes, ”I’ll bring her home when it’s time, what’s the rush.”

He didn’t want to say more, turned and walked downstairs.

Ning Shishen watched his back, his brows slightly furrowed. To his knowledge, Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng went to Beijing this month, and there was no word from the Zhuang Family or the Jiang Family, it seems that they’ve already received approval from both families.

This was within his expectations, once the Jiang Family knew Mu Yan’s identity, they would certainly accept her.

As for the Zhuang Family, they might not be very satisfied with Jiang Jingheng, but due to their guilt towards Mu Yan, if she liked him, they wouldn’t oppose.

However, a marriage in a wealthy family isn’t that simple; just the emotions between the two of them are not enough to support it to the end.

When various problems erupt, the relationship might be affected and even face near ruin.

So, he has patience to wait.

After accompanying Mu Chen in the hospital for a few days, Mu Yan barely returned to the villa, but Jiang Jingheng didn’t come to the hospital either, he seemed very busy.

She called him; if he wasn’t in a meeting, he was having a meal, she didn’t disturb him.

’Lone Eagle’ premiered for half a month, with a box office of 3.5 billion, averaging over 200 million daily. Every time good news was announced, Mu Yan’s name was mentioned.

Of course, the male lead Zhao Han and the director Jiao Ziyou were even more vocal, with people online even suggesting Zhao Han and Mu Yan be together in real life.

Luckily, Mu Yan’s fans didn’t support the idea, as the age gap between the two was a point of contention.

Moreover, there was no interaction between them privately, hence not much attention.

Soon, ’Free Life’ aired, Mu Yan’s witty conversation and her cooking despite Zhao Yong’s injury drew praise from netizens.

The night the show aired, Mrs. Zhuang even called specifically to tell Mu Yan she was watching the program.

After returning to Upper City, Mu Yan didn’t take the initiative to contact the Zhuang Family.

But Mrs. Zhuang and Ruan Xinyu called a few times, asking how she was doing at the Jiang Family, whether anyone was bullying her.

Mu Yan knew they cared about her, feeling a bit guilty inside.

This episode’s ratings as expected by the production team, skyrocketed, even surpassing ’Fast Six’ on M Channel.

The barrage in the video was essentially all about Mu Yan.

”Watching for Mu Yan!”

”Yan Bao’s cooking is so good, my mouth is watering across the screen.”

The ’cornfield’ scene was a bit suggestive, but Yan Bao’s expression was so cute, hahaha!”

”Why not invite Mu Yan as a resident guest?”

...

Riding on the success of ’Lone Eagle’, Mu Yan became popular, and consequently boosted ’Free Life’, and ’Free Life’ drew more attention to ’Lone Eagle’.

From any angle, it was a win-win; although it had been twenty days since ’Lone Eagle’ was released, its daily box office still remained stable at over 100 million.

On the hot search, ”Mu Yan’s Free Life,” ”Mu Yan’s Lone Eagle,” ”Mu Yan’s Variety Show” quickly climbed into the top ten.

However, her brilliance inevitably overshadowed other guests together with her.

Netizens directly targeted Jiang Yun, Xiang Lanqiu, Fan Youyou, and other female guests, calling them pretentious, princess syndrome, useless. Because of this, these people’s fans were upset, believing Mu Yan hired water armies to attack their idols, raising herself too high.

Mu Yan looking at those haters under her Weibo felt like a burden had fallen from the sky.
