A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262: Protective Over Her Own

Feeling the sour stench of love radiating off Jiang Jingheng, everyone expressed that they did not want to continue this topic.

Mu Yan didn’t stick to his side either. She was about to go find Qin Xi and the others to play when Zhuang Yi blocked her way.

”Nuannuan, congratulations.” He seemed a bit ill at ease, his smile somewhat awkward.

Mu Yan smiled faintly and said, ”Thanks.”

As she spoke, she was about to walk forward, but Zhuang Yi stood there without moving, clearly not planning to make way for her.

Mu Yan raised her eyes and looked at him in surprise. ”Something up?”

Zhuang Yi looked at her, wanting to speak but stopping again.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally said, ”Have you been doing well lately?”

As soon as he finished, before she could speak, he added, ”How could you not be doing well, I seem to have asked something I shouldn’t have.”

Mu Yan looked at his overly cautious manner, as if he was afraid that saying the wrong thing would upset her.

She said calmly, ”I’m doing pretty well. How are Uncle and Aunt?”

”They’re pretty good too, they just miss you a lot.”

”Mm, what about you then?” Mu Yan asked.

Zhuang Yi hurriedly said, ”I’m doing pretty well too. The unit’s not that busy. Recently my family’s been arranging blind dates for me every day. Your aunt’s nagging is about to kill me...”

He suddenly stopped talking and looked at Mu Yan a bit awkwardly. ”Sorry, I probably shouldn’t be telling you this, right?”

Mu Yan asked in confusion, ”Didn’t Aunt say last time that you were seeing Sister Lin Jia?”

”Best not to bring that up.” He sighed.

Mu Yan gave him a strange look and responded, ”Oh.”

Being stared at by her made Zhuang Yi’s scalp prickle a little, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

He probed, ”What’s wrong?”

”Nothing.”

”Oh.”

The conversation died instantly. Seeing that she didn’t want to go deeper into it, Zhuang Yi sensibly stepped aside, so as not to annoy her.

Mu Yan walked over to Qin Xi and was immediately grabbed by her.

Qin Xi said sneakily, ”Who’s that handsome guy who was just talking to you? His body is seriously top-tier.”

Mu Yan gave her a sidelong glance. ”Eating from the pot while staring at the bowl?”

”Life needs more options to be perfect, okay?” Qin Xi cleared her throat lightly.

Mu Yan couldn’t help laughing. ”Is that so? Then I’ll go have a word with Ning Ze.”

As she spoke, she called toward Ning Ze, ”Ning Ze...”

”Hey, Mu Yan, don’t you dare!” Qin Xi panicked instantly and grabbed Mu Yan’s hand.

Unfortunately it was too late. Over there, Ning Ze turned his head toward Mu Yan and responded, ”Sister-in-law, what’s up?”

”Qin Xi just said...” Mu Yan hadn’t finished the sentence when a hand covered her mouth.

Ning Ze looked at the two of them, baffled. His instincts told him nothing good was going on, and his heart started thumping as he walked over and asked, ”What’s going on?”

Qin Xi directly said, ”Nothing. I’m thirsty. Go pour me a cup of tea.”

”Oh, okay.” Ning Ze nodded and turned to pour tea.

After taking two steps, he stopped and looked back at Qin Xi. ”Nothing else?”

”What else could there be, hurry up, I’m dying of thirst.”

”Okay, right away.” Ning Ze gave her a deep look.

Seeing Ning Ze walk away, Qin Xi finally let go of Mu Yan.

”Ning Ze really listens to you,” Mu Yan sighed.

Qin Xi said irritably, ”Why are you such a handful? How does Young Master Jiang even put up with you?”

Mu Yan immediately bristled at that. ”Why don’t you say I’m the one putting up with him?”

”Heh, you mean you’re putting up with him being too handsome, too rich, and too devoted to you?” Qin Xi rolled her eyes at her. ”You don’t know the internet all says you must have saved the Milky Way in your past life to be able to marry him?”

Mu Yan pouted but didn’t refute it.

”Right, that handsome guy just now...”

Mu Yan said bluntly, ”That’s my cousin. Stop dreaming. He’s already taken. He’s a proper, decent guy; he can’t handle a goblin like you.”

”Oh.” Qin Xi showed a regretful expression and gave her a sidelong glance. ”I was just making a casual comment. Look how protective you are. Am I really that unworthy in your eyes?”

Mu Yan, ”...”

She glanced at Zhuang Yi, and her mood suddenly became a bit complicated.
