A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1008: Keeping a Distance?

In the afternoon, Mu Yan wasn’t working, so she stayed at the hospital with Mu Chen.Mu Chen suddenly mentioned Lin Jiamu, "Sis, it seems like I haven’t seen Brother Jia Mu for a long time. Has he been busy lately?"

"Probably," Mu Yan answered vaguely.

Mu Chen looked at her strangely, "Haven’t you been in touch with Brother Jia Mu lately?"

"Ever since the last drama wrapped up, I haven’t contacted him. We have a life-and-death friendship; we don’t need socializing to maintain our relationship," Mu Yan said with a smile.

"But that’s strange. In the past, whenever someone bad-mouthed you, Brother Jia Mu would tweet in support of you, yet he hasn’t done so in the recent times," Mu Chen frowned and said, "Could it be that Brother Jia Mu is trying to avoid suspicion?"

"Really?" Mu Yan was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t noticed this before.

She took out her phone and opened Lin Jiamu’s social media account. Sure enough, ever since rumors about them spread, he hadn’t shared or liked her posts.

She felt a bit helpless, "Lin Jiamu is making a big fuss. Didn’t we clarify everything already?"

Mu Chen hesitated and then said, "Sis, you don’t know yet?"

"Know what?"

"Brother Jia Mu likes you!"

Mu Yan chuckled, "Come on, stop joking with me."

"Who’s joking with you? Luo Yao, Sister Qin Xi, and I all noticed, yet you’re the only one in the dark," Mu Chen said, a bit speechless, "How are you so oblivious?"

Mu Yan pretended to knock him on the head, "Who’s oblivious now."

Mu Chen quickly turned ingratiatingly, "No, no, sister is not oblivious, I’m the oblivious one."

Mu Yan withdrew her hand and asked uncertainly, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Mu Chen replied, exasperated, "Then tell me why you think he doesn’t like you?"

"He said so himself; I’m not his type. Otherwise, why do you think I would tell him everything?" Mu Yan said, feeling a bit resigned.

She had asked Lin Jiamu about this topic a long time ago, because she felt he was too nice to her.

But Lin Jiamu said he was nice to her first because of the connection and second because he saved her; he was practically her second parent, so he should take care of her.

At the time, she was confused and believed him, and continued to believe it until now.

Seriously, what parent would be interested in their child?

Thinking about it now, she felt she was really a fool.

She was a bit irritated, "Why did you tell me about this? How am I supposed to face Lin Jiamu in the future?"

"Brother Jia Mu is avoiding you now; do you even have a chance to face him?" Mu Chen said fearlessly.

Mu Yan directly twisted his ear, "Do not evade responsibility."

Mu Chen pouted, "Sis, you’ve been spoiled rotten by your husband; your temper is getting worse."

Mu Yan chuckled, "Annoyed by my bad temper? Well, sorry, bad temper or not, I’m still your sister."

Mu Chen, cowed by her domineering presence, dared not argue further.

Mu Yan released him and thought for a moment, asking, "Then why do you think if he likes me, he hasn’t told me?"

Mu Chen was also puzzled by this, "Why don’t you go ask Brother Jia Mu about that."

Mu Yan glared at him. Could she even ask that?

She comforted herself, "Lin Jiamu is not the shy type; I think you all must have misunderstood."

Mu Chen gave her a glance and tentatively asked, "Sis, if before you met your husband, Brother Jia Mu confessed to you, would you have accepted him?"

"Of course not," Mu Yan said emphatically.

She and Lin Jiamu have been friends for so many years without any sparks; she hasn’t felt a single flutter towards him. Isn’t that obvious that there’s no chemistry between them, regardless of whether he confessed or not?

"Oh," Mu Chen replied, his gaze swept over the door and seeing someone there, he immediately called out, "Brother-in-law."
