A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 202: Not Taking the Blame!

Ning Shishen said without thinking, "Putting aside family ties and other distracting factors, it’s either emotions or physical attraction."Mu Yan felt that his answer coincided with what she was thinking.

But Jiang Jingheng didn’t seem interested in her physically.

When it came to emotions, she sometimes felt he liked her, otherwise, why would he have risked himself to shield her from acid, or stand up for her repeatedly?

But then again, if he liked her, he could go a long time without contacting her, being neither too close nor too distant.

She didn’t know what he was thinking, yet she blindly plunged into it.

"Maybe there are other reasons," Mu Yan suddenly said.

Ning Shishen’s eyes darkened slightly, it seemed she was troubled by love.

He asked, "Have you ever tried confessing to him? Maybe he doesn’t know."

Mu Yan shook her head, "Impossible."

"Why not?"

Mu Yan smiled, "What if he doesn’t like me? Once I confess, we might not even be able to be friends."

She thought for a moment and added, "Maybe we already can’t be friends anymore."

Back then, he always liked to tease her, asking her to kiss him.

But in the end, after she kissed him, he didn’t express anything.

"Miss Mu is so beautiful, that shouldn’t be the case," Ning Shishen comforted her.

Mu Yan looked at him and asked, "If one day you get married, Mr. Ning, would you have to marry a girl of equal social standing?"

Ning Shishen’s heart jolted, the answer was inevitable.

He was the eldest son of the Ning Family, and marrying for family alliance was his mission.

However, he didn’t want to tell her the truth.

"Of course not, if I like that person, regardless of her wealth or poverty, I would marry her."

Mu Yan smiled, knowing he was lying.

Knowing the topic was bad, Ning Shishen asked, "Since Miss Mu majored in art, why didn’t you continue painting?"

Mu Yan looked at him, not knowing if he was probing or genuinely unaware.

But given his abilities, if he wanted to investigate, he surely could find out.

She asked, "If one day, someone told Mr. Ning that I was expelled for plagiarism, would you believe it?"

Ning Shishen looked at her in surprise and then said, "I would naturally believe Miss Mu."

Mu Yan was non-committal; only he knew the answer in his heart.

Shortly after dinner, Mu Yan stood up to say goodbye.

"Miss Mu, let me see you off."

"No need, if someone took a photo, Mr. Ning and I would end up on the headlines. After all, I have a bit of fame now." Mu Yan winked at him, "Mr. Ning, I’ll take my leave now, thank you for lunch."

Ning Shishen stood there, watching her back, his eyes deepening slightly.

What a girl who knows her advance and retreat, what a pity!

He suddenly sneered, what was he pitying?

Could he be hoping to develop something with her? She has someone in mind.

However, if she and that person don’t end up together in the end...

Mu Yan returned to the hospital in the afternoon.

When she came back, Mu Chen was sleeping.

Thinking about his health, she grew worried again.

Around five in the afternoon, Mu Yan ordered some food.

At six, Lian Jun called, saying he was delivering food and was downstairs.

She said, "No need, I ordered takeout."

She paused and said, "You don’t need to bring food over anymore."

Before Lian Jun could speak, she hung up the phone.

Lian Jun looked at his phone, bewildered; what was wrong with the Young Madam? Everything was fine yesterday?

Young Master, you should come back from abroad quickly, come back and appease your wife.

If the Young Madam was starving herself thin out of anger, he definitely wouldn’t take the blame.
