A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 373: Unable to Extricate

Jiang Jingheng drove straight to Jinxiu Villa.As soon as Mu Yan got in the car, she leaned against Jiang Jingheng and continued to sleep.

At this time, she was really too tired.

Jiang Jingheng tried to make his body soft so that she would feel comfortable.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Mu Yan heard the noise and suddenly woke up.

She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

Jiang Jingheng saw her wake up, frowned slightly, and answered the phone.

"Hello."

"Okay, I’ll come over in a while."

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

"A friend of mine just arrived, I need to go have a couple of drinks with him later," Jiang Jingheng replied.

Mu Yan nodded, "Okay."

Jiang Jingheng hugged her and said softly, "Get some more sleep, I’ll wake you when we get home."

"Mmm." Mu Yan closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

When they arrived at the villa, Jiang Jingheng carried her out of the car and headed straight to the bedroom.

He placed her on the bed and then helped her take off her shoes and clothes.

Mu Yan was half awake now and said in a daze, "You don’t have to worry about me, go on, don’t keep your friend waiting."

"Let them wait," Jiang Jingheng said flatly, tossing her clothes to the side and pulling the quilt over her.

Mu Yan found a comfortable position to continue sleeping, mumbling, "Don’t drink too much."

"Okay," Jiang Jingheng replied, placing her clothes on the sofa.

He went downstairs, poured a glass of water, and brought it back up, placing it on the nightstand in case she woke up and wanted to drink water while he was out.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the small box on the table.

He remembered that there was no such thing there this morning.

He picked it up and examined it, opening it to find a very delicate tie clip.

Looking at the pattern on the surface, his light brown eyes softened instantly.

He closed the lid, sat by the bed, and held her hand, kissing the back of her hand.

That’s why she was so happy and excited this morning; she wanted to give him a gift.

He felt as if what he owned was just a small pond, which suddenly turned into a vast ocean.

How could he not be excited and touched in his heart?

He was even deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.

They had been together for so long, and today, his heart finally settled down.

Her being with him wasn’t just out of gratitude.

She truly had a place for him in her heart.

He suddenly bit her hand, knowing well that he loved her deeply but still did things that moved him.

From now on, he could only treat her even better.

Mu Yan felt the pain, frowned slightly, but did not wake up.

Jiang Jingheng tucked her hand back under the quilt and went outside to make a call on his phone.

"I won’t be coming over tonight."

"I’ll treat you next time."

"Okay, I’ll penalize myself with three drinks."

Jiang Jingheng hung up the phone, turned, and went back to the room.

In the private room, Zhuang Yi hung up the phone and laughed in exasperation, "So he was just messing with his brother. If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have come."

"Alright, Brother Zhuang, don’t be mad, we’ll drink with you," Ning Ze quickly said.

Zhuang Yi raised the bottle and said to the others, "Come on, come on, whether he comes or not, we’ll drink. If I don’t have my fill tonight, none of you can leave."

"Alright, let’s go!"

That night, Mu Yan didn’t sleep well at all. First, she felt like she was bitten by a wild beast, and then she felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her.

She felt extremely uncomfortable and struggled to finally wake up, only to see someone causing mischief on top of her.
