A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 407: Beneath Flowers and Moonlight!

Mu Yan, under the gaze of everyone, walked up to Jiang Jingheng and softly said, "Thank you."Jiang Jingheng looked at her but said nothing.

Zhao Xiyue, thinking that Mu Yan’s gratitude was insincere and displeased Jiang Jingheng, explained, "Mu Yan has a gentle personality, don’t mind her. Come on, let’s have a drink."

She took the drink from the server’s hand and handed it to Jiang Jingheng.

Jiang Jingheng did not take it and said indifferently, "I don’t drink alcohol."

"Young Master Jiang, it’s Xiyue’s birthday today, you should give her some face," Zhao Xiyue’s good friend Hu Jiao urged.

Jiang Jingheng slightly frowned, appearing somewhat impatient.

Hu Jiao immediately fell silent, not daring to continue.

Zhao Xiyue, understanding his temperament a little, smiled and said, "It’s my fault, I forgot you don’t drink."

She put down the wine glass, looked at the time, and said, "It’s almost eight o’clock."

"Yes, everyone’s here. Now we can make a wish and cut the cake," Hu Jiao chimed in.

As soon as she finished speaking, the servants brought out the cake.

The crowd moved toward the center of the living room.

Mu Yan was also pushed over. She looked at Jiang Jingheng, silently signaling him to wait a moment.

Jiang Jingheng understood and walked towards the door.

Lan Xi stood beside Mu Yan, wanting to pry open her head and see what was inside, seeing her act as if nothing had happened.

Doesn’t she suspect anything about Brother Jiang and Zhao Xiyue’s relationship?

And what exactly does Jiang Jingheng’s presence at the Zhao Family mean today?

Has he decided to marry into the Zhao Family and wed Zhao Xiyue?

The candles were lit, and the birthday song started playing.

Zhao Xiyue, wearing a birthday hat, stood in the center of the crowd. Her gaze swept the surroundings but didn’t see Jiang Jingheng, and a touch of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

However, she knew he didn’t like celebrating birthdays, let alone watching others do so.

She closed her eyes and sincerely made a wish.

The candles were blown out, and everyone asked Zhao Xiyue what her wish was.

Mu Yan stood on the outermost layer, unable to see what was happening inside. With the crowd surging around her, she simply stepped out and went to find Jiang Jingheng.

Outside the villa was a long corridor, and under the moonlight stood a tall figure, emanating a frosty aura.

There was no one more familiar with his silhouette than Mu Yan. She jogged over and asked, "Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back?"

Jiang Jingheng looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "Wouldn’t it ruin the surprise?"

Mu Yan approached, looking at him and smiling with pursed lips, "Yes, it was a big surprise. How did you know I was here?"

"I got home and didn’t see you, so I called Song Cheng’an."

Mu Yan, looking at his slightly cold face, knew he must have felt down returning home to find it empty.

She held his hand and softly said, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were coming back."

"If you knew I was coming back, you wouldn’t have come?" Jiang Jingheng retorted.

Mu Yan looked at him and honestly shook her head.

Xiyue invited her for her birthday; how could she not come?

There was nothing visible on Jiang Jingheng’s handsome face, but he felt very displeased in his heart.

Was Zhao Xiyue more important than him?

He pulled her into his embrace, asking, "Did anyone bully you just now?"

"Of course not!" Mu Yan shook her head, looking at him with admiration, "Didn’t you just come out to heroically save the beauty?"

He didn’t even know how handsome he was when he had just beaten Jiang Yutai.

Jiang Jingheng’s peach blossom eyes slightly raised, exuding an indescribable allure, "Is there any reward?"

Zhao Xiyue searched the hall but couldn’t find Mu Yan or Jiang Jingheng. She heard someone say that Mu Yan had left.

She walked out the door, looked to the right, and saw a beautiful woman tiptoe to kiss the man in front of her bathed in moonlight.
