Chapter 422: Have You Forgotten What Day It Is Today?
No matter how annoyed Mu Yan was with Jiang Jingheng, Mu Chen still urged Mu Yan to go back with him.Misunderstandings are often where the cracks in many marriages begin, and he hopes they live harmoniously.
Mu Yan really wanted to spend the night with Mu Chen, but neither of the two men agreed.
On the way back, Mu Yan sat in the passenger seat, thinking about the wild thoughts she had entertained all day, finding it somewhat amusing.
The things she agonized over all day were resolved with just a few words from him.
Actually, he wasn’t really deceiving her, after all, he didn’t lie; it was her own carelessness.
She looked at their clasped hands, his palm still as warm as ever.
She softly said, "I’m sorry, I wrongly blamed you today."
Jiang Jingheng looked at her, head lowered and eyes cast down, like a child waiting to be scolded by an adult after making a mistake.
He lifted her hand and kissed it gently, softly saying, "You should blame me."
Mu Yan looked up at his deep eyes and quickly said, "No, it’s not..."
"Blame me for being too good, so many people want to take me away, so Mrs. Jiang needs to be careful."
Mu Yan was stunned, as if something got stuck.
When she came back to her senses, she couldn’t help but glare at him; this man was shameless.
However, the guilt she had just felt was suddenly gone after his teasing.
She looked at him, her eyes sparkling like diamonds.
He wasn’t wrong either; he really is very good.
"There’s something I didn’t tell you," Jiang Jingheng suddenly said.
Mu Yan was filled with sweetness, her voice soft and tender, "Hmm?"
"The Jiang Family and the Zhao Family plan to arrange a marriage."
Mu Yan was momentarily stunned, then quickly reacted, looking at him with shock, "You mean... you and Zhao Xiyue..."
No wonder Zhao Xiyue was so self-assured today, no wonder she said she wouldn’t let them be together.
So... the two families intend to arrange a marriage, then what does that make her...
Her heart was filled with panic, she instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it tighter.
Jiang Jingheng looked at her, his handsome face full of helplessness, "What are you thinking, I have no intention of committing bigamy!"
All the worries in Mu Yan’s heart were dispelled by his playful words, giving her a sense of relief.
She opened her mouth, "Then... then what now?"
"That’s something I need to consider," Jiang Jingheng lifted his hand and pinched her cheek, "I was just worried that if you heard this from someone else, you’d start overthinking, so I told you in advance."
Mu Yan pressed her lips together, feeling uncertain inside.
Today, she received too much information, even everything about Jiang Jingheng felt unfamiliar to her.
This person had too many things she didn’t know about, making her feel very uneasy.
High-society arranged marriages, a fiancée... even if she’s already his wife, would his family accept it?
At this moment, her unease peaked.
She turned her head to look out the window, her heart filled with melancholy.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Jiang Jingheng felt her hand turn cold, glanced at her, eyes deepening.
Who knows how much time passed, the car finally stopped.
Mu Yan snapped back, realizing they were by the riverside, she looked at the person beside her, "Why did we come here, aren’t we going home?"
"You’ll know once you get out," Jiang Jingheng said, helping her unbuckle her seatbelt, then got out of the car.
Mu Yan, full of confusion, followed him out of the car.
Late March, the weather was a bit chilly.
As soon as she got out of the car, a gust of wind hit her, making her shiver.
Jiang Jingheng retrieved a blanket from the back seat, draping it over her and pulling her into his arms.
Mu Yan felt much warmer, softly asked, "Why are we here?"
Jiang Jingheng said softly, "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
