A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 408: Beaten Too Lightly!

Zhao Xiyue stood at the doorway, looking in shock at the couple embracing in the hallway.The man wrapped his arm around the woman’s waist, lowering his head to kiss her.

Moonlight slanted down, illuminating his handsome face.

His usually aloof face appeared particularly gentle at this moment, seemingly lost in the moment.

And the woman in his arms responded to him, letting him have his way.

Zhao Xiyue covered her mouth, afraid she would not be able to stop herself from cursing at the two of them.

Tears glistened in her eyes, she bit her lip tightly—how could they, how could they do this to her!

Suddenly, she turned around and ran inside the house.

As soon as she left, Jiang Jingheng opened his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping over the wide-open door before closing them again.

After kissing for a while, Mu Yan was a bit out of breath and pushed against his chest.

Only then did Jiang Jingheng release her, letting her lean into his embrace.

Mu Yan gently grasped his clothes, her heart full of sweetness.

It always felt better with him by her side.

The March night was a bit chilly, and as the wind blew, Mu Yan shivered.

Jiang Jingheng released her and took off his jacket, placing it over her shoulders.

He said, "Let’s go home."

"Mm," Mu Yan nodded, "I’ll go say something to Xiyue."

Jiang Jingheng’s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, but he didn’t oppose it.

Mu Yan took off the jacket and gave it back to him, heading towards the main entrance.

She entered the hall and looked around but couldn’t find Zhao Xiyue.

Lan Xi came over and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Did you see Xiyue?" Mu Yan asked.

"She just went back to her room, what’s up?"

"I’m planning to leave, I wanted to let her know."

Lan Xi gave her a long look, "Is Brother Jiang outside?"

"Yes," Mu Yan nodded.

Lan Xi, for some reason, felt relieved and said, "I’ll tell her if I see her, you should head back first."

Mu Yan thought about it and felt this was workable, so she nodded and said, "Alright, thank you."

"You’re welcome," Lan Xi said.

Mu Yan remembered Lan Xi helping her just now and said again, "Thank you for standing in front of me earlier."

Lan Xi looked a bit awkward and lightly scoffed, "You think I did it for you? I just didn’t want Brother Jiang to say I didn’t take good care of you."

Mu Yan smiled, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Lan Xi looked at her back and suddenly laughed.

After spending time together, it seemed she wasn’t that annoying after all.

Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng got into the car together and left the Zhao family’s villa.

On the road, she remembered something and asked, "Are you brothers with that Second Young Master Jiang?"

She wasn’t very familiar with his family affairs.

"No, he’s my second uncle’s son," Jiang Jingheng replied.

Mu Yan hesitated and asked, "Then you hit him today, won’t his family be upset when they find out?"

She had heard before about the fierce rivalry between their family’s two sides.

"Should I not hit him just because they might be upset?" Jiang Jingheng countered.

Mu Yan was taken aback, then suddenly pouted with a smile.

"Of course he should be hit, who told him to bully me!" she laughed, somewhat smug, "I even slapped him before."

Jiang Jingheng watched her smug expression, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, then he turned to look ahead, his eyes cold.

If she, usually so good-natured, was provoked to hit someone, then Jiang Yutai must have said something very harsh.

It seemed he had beaten him too lightly!
