Chapter 193: Who Do You Like?
Mu Yan didn’t expect Jiang Jingheng would suddenly speak, and she looked at him abruptly.
He was also looking at her, his expression calm, maintaining the gesture of handing her the thermos.
The air instantly turned frighteningly quiet.
Suddenly, Lin Jiamu’s voice rang out, "Is there someone next to you?"
Mu Yan’s eyelids twitched, "Mm, my agent."
As she spoke, she didn’t forget to make a "shh" gesture towards Jiang Jingheng.
Jiang Jingheng raised an eyebrow, his lips slightly curling.
"Why is your agent at your house?"
"I wasn’t feeling well and called him to bring some ginger tea over," Mu Yan explained.
Lin Jiamu seemed convinced and responded, "Mm, then you should really thank him properly."
"I know."
"Take care, let’s talk again later."
"Okay."
Mu Yan hung up the phone, finally feeling relieved.
"I didn’t know when I switched to being an agent," Jiang Jingheng’s teasing voice came through.
Mu Yan only felt a tingle on her scalp. She looked at him with a guilty expression and then apologized, "I’m sorry."
Jiang Jingheng’s exquisite almond-shaped eyes tilted up, the light brown pupils as calm as lake water, "So afraid of him finding out about our relationship?"
Mu Yan paused for a moment, then nodded honestly, "Mm."
If Lin Jiamu found out, it would be no different than Mu Chen finding out, and the world would definitely be in chaos.
"Do you like him?"
Mu Yan was momentarily stunned and shook her head vigorously, "Of course not, we’re just friends."
Jiang Jingheng saw her dazed look, his lips curling slightly, "Then who do you like?"
"You..." Mu Yan almost blurted out, but seeing the amusement in his eyes, she instantly realized it was inappropriate and changed her tone, "Why are you asking that?"
"Just asking casually, if you don’t want to say, forget it," Jiang Jingheng said calmly, "Have your ginger tea first."
Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, that was close.
She picked up the thermos and said to Jiang Jingheng, "Thank you."
Jiang Jingheng raised an eyebrow, "I’ll help you bring up the food."
Mu Yan looked at his back, hesitated, and said, "Next time I make a call, can you not make a sound?"
She knew saying this seemed like drawing a line with him, but she didn’t dare take the risk.
Jiang Jingheng paused in his steps, turned back, and looked at her with deep eyes.
The air was momentarily frozen; Mu Yan couldn’t withstand his intense gaze and lowered her head.
Suddenly, a soft chuckle resonated, "Alright, I’ll just listen and not speak."
Mu Yan, "..."
That’s not what she meant, okay?
She looked up, and he had already left.
Her lips involuntarily curved; maybe she could add another item to his list of merits—good temper.
Mu Yan took a small sip of ginger tea, it was sweet, just the right taste.
Yu Ma was really amazing, making ginger tea just as delicious as the ones sold outside.
Jiang Jingheng left the room, his handsome face instantly turned gloomy, his exquisite almond-shaped eyes seemed frosted, cold and ruthless.
Not long after, breakfast was delivered, but Mu Yan couldn’t eat after half a bowl of porridge.
Jiang Jingheng didn’t force her, he closed the door and left, letting her rest.
Mu Yan felt like she had slept for a long time.
She opened her eyes and looked outside the window, it seemed it was already afternoon.
She checked her phone and saw it was three in the afternoon.
WeChat had received many messages.
The most messages were from Qin Xi, all photos.
The day before yesterday, she had left with her Mr. Lu to Mauritius for a holiday.
In the photos, yachts sped across the sea, splashing countless water droplets.
Qin Xi, wearing a beach hat, sunglasses, and a long dress, leaned in Lu Zhaoming’s arms, her face radiating a happy smile.
Mu Yan sent a few cute emojis and exited to check the messages sent by Song Cheng’an.
