Chapter 209: Reluctant
To avoid attracting attention, Song Cheng’an left first with Mu Yan.Song Cheng’an noticed Mu Yan’s somewhat low mood and smiled, "Reluctant to leave?"
Mu Yan was startled for a moment, then turned her head to meet Song Cheng’an’s teasing gaze.
Her cheeks warmed slightly, and she admitted openly, "Yes."
Song Cheng’an raised an eyebrow, that admission was too straightforward.
No wonder she dared to kiss Mr. Jiang so boldly last night, although the alcohol played a part.
He said calmly, "You’ll be getting busier, as the heir of the Jiang Family, he’ll be even busier. The days of being apart will be plenty, you’ll get used to it."
Mu Yan pressed her lips together, saying nothing, but felt a bit confused inside.
The future...
She seemed not to have thought that far ahead.
"Jing Heng, although his personality is bad and his character is not great, if he’s with a woman, it’s definitely sincere."
Mu Yan, "..."
Are you praising him or criticizing him?
She nodded, "I know."
She suddenly looked at Song Cheng’an and asked, "Brother Song, did you always know about me and him..."
The rest of the words were left unsaid, but Song Cheng’an understood.
He raised his eyebrows, "Your Brother Song has played the field for so many years, you think I can’t see through the little sparks between you two?"
Mu Yan nodded, "Then I’m really curious, Brother Song, after playing the field for so many years, why are you still single?"
Song Cheng’an, "...
Just because I made a few jokes about your man, is that a reason to be so protective?"
The two of them reached the airport lobby, went through check-in and boarding procedures.
After arriving in Wudu, Mu Yan hurriedly rushed to the promotional event venue.
Wang Linjia and the others had already arrived and were preparing backstage.
She saw Mu Yan approaching and waved at her.
"Why are you only getting here now? Was everything okay last night?"
Mu Yan’s gaze flickered, "There was a bit of traffic on the way, Sister Lin Jia, how about you?"
Probably due to the hangover, Wang Linjia didn’t look too well.
Wang Linjia smiled, "Had a bit too much to drink, still have a headache now. Go and get ready, we’re about to start."
As she spoke, she touched up her makeup.
"Okay."
Mu Yan also changed her clothes and applied some light makeup.
Soon, the event began.
The reporters’ focus remained on Wang Linjia, Li Yushen, and Chen Zhou, with Mu Yan occasionally being mentioned as a background figure.
Once the event concluded, the group immediately headed to the airport to fly to Beijing for the evening’s movie premiere.
As they left, Li Yushen lamented that the tight schedule meant he didn’t get to eat Wudu’s hotpot.
Wang Linjia generously said, "Hotpot from Wudu is available everywhere now, I’ll treat you in Beijing."
It was then Mu Yan learned Wang Linjia’s home was in Beijing.
A few years ago, when filling out college applications, she almost chose Beijing.
Unfortunately, it was too far from home.
If she had chosen a school in Beijing at that time, would the later events have happened differently?
She turned her head to look out the windshield, the afterglow of the sunset reflecting in a bluish-purple sky, looking a bit desolate.
She wondered if it looked the same where he was.
They arrived in Beijing after six o’clock, the premiere started at eight-thirty.
The group hurriedly got into a car and reached the Imperial City Grand Theater with little time to spare.
The premiere event began, and after a round of interviews, the film started playing.
The atmosphere on-site was very serious; Mu Yan watched the screen, her hands crossed tightly on her knees.
This was her first time watching a premiere, and she felt a bit nervous inside.
Even though her scenes were few, she hoped her role could gain the audience’s approval.
