A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 289: Don’t Believe a Man’s Sweet Talk!

In the hospital room, Mu Yan walked in to see Luo Yao talking to Mu Chen while peeling fruit.Upon seeing her, Mu Chen immediately called out, "Sis, you’re here."

"How have you been lately?" Mu Yan walked over and asked.

"I’m doing fine." Mu Chen quickly replied.

Regarding the incident a couple of days ago, he certainly wouldn’t mention it to his sister.

Mu Yan didn’t expect to hear the truth from him anyway, so she turned to Luo Yao, "Luo Yao, thank you for taking care of Mu Chen."

"No need to thank me, and this job is much easier than going out on events with you. I should be thanking you."

Luo Yao thought of something and smiled, "By the way, congratulations on winning the Best Newcomer Award. Winning an award for your first film, that’s impressive."

"Thank you." Mu Yan nodded.

Mu Chen, feeling proud, boasted, "Of course my sister is amazing. She’s won awards in every competition she’s entered since she was young. When she used to paint, she even won countless big awards."

Mentioning painting, Mu Yan’s brow furrowed ever so slightly.

She looked at Mu Chen, "Alright, remember to keep your emotions in check."

"Don’t worry, sis, I know." Mu Chen quickly replied.

Seeing that the fruit in Luo Yao’s hands was not yet peeled, Mu Yan said, "Let me do it."

"It’s okay, you take a rest."

Mu Yan didn’t insist and started tidying up the room.

As usual, Lian Jun brought lunch, and alongside the meal, he brought a set of clothes and shoes.

Mu Yan’s anxious heart instantly relaxed. Going out with him, she certainly couldn’t embarrass him!

In the afternoon, she went to ask Director Huang about Mu Chen’s situation and learned about his recent incident.

She returned to the hospital room without mentioning anything.

Mu Chen was very understanding and didn’t want her to worry, so she pretended not to know anything.

At the mall, near the evening, Qin Xi finished a commercial performance.

She had stood in the cold wind for almost an hour in her dress.

As soon as she stepped off the stage, her assistant Xiao Qiao immediately draped a coat over her shoulders.

Qin Xi put on the coat and went to the restroom.

She took out her phone and made a call, "Darling, I’m done with the event, where are you now? I..."

Her expression froze for a moment, then she forced a smile, "Working overtime, huh? Then I’ll head home first. Don’t work too hard, bye."

After hanging up, her expression turned cold instantly.

Today was their eighth anniversary of knowing each other, and he’d actually forgotten!

In the hospital room, as night fell, Mu Yan started to put on makeup.

Mu Chen watched his sister dress up, feeling a bit jealous.

Going out this late definitely means she’s going on a date.

They say women dress up for those they care about; his sister must really like that person!

Around seven o’clock, Mu Yan received a call; Jiang Jingheng had already arrived downstairs.

She quickly said, "I’m coming down now."

After hanging up, she looked at Mu Chen and said, "Chenchen, I won’t be coming back tonight."

"Oh." Mu Chen replied with a straight face.

Mu Yan looked at him questioningly, "What’s wrong?"

Mu Chen frowned and said, "Sis, when are you going to bring that person over for me to meet?"

Mu Yan lightly coughed, "Well..."

Seeing her hesitation, Mu Chen frowned and said, "Is he someone who can’t be seen?"

"No!" Mu Yan quickly replied.

Seeing the curiosity in Mu Chen’s eyes, she knew she couldn’t keep it a secret any longer.

She said, "It’s mainly because he’s quite busy. How about this, I’ll see when he’s free in the next few days."

Mu Chen nodded, "Okay."

With relief, Mu Yan picked up her bag and walked out.

Behind her, Mu Chen’s voice suddenly came, "Sis, girls need to know how to protect themselves. Never believe a man’s sweet words."

Mu Yan turned back, smiling at him, "Don’t worry, I know."

Mu Chen pouted, scoffing lightly, "If you knew, you wouldn’t be staying out all night."

Mu Yan, "..."
