A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 474: Checking Household Registration!

As soon as Zhuang Yi said he was going to the bathroom, the others were displeased."Brother Zhuang, it’s only been a few drinks, and you’re already making a bathroom break. That’s not cool," Dong Le said.

"Yeah, Brother Zhuang, tonight we won’t leave until we’re drunk. Don’t think you can escape."

"I think you two brats need a beating!" Zhuang Yi slapped the backs of the two.

Ning Ze was okay, but Dong Le felt a jolt through his body. He covered his mouth, afraid he might throw up.

The two fell silent, and Zhuang Yi nodded to the others before turning to leave.

Jiang Jingheng watched his back, his gaze deepening.

Suddenly, his eyes swept over the person beside him, and Xu Yachong smiled lightly, "I need to go to the bathroom too."

"Why is everyone going to the bathroom? Brother Jiang, let’s keep drinking," Ning Ze said as he poured more wine into Jiang Jingheng’s glass.

Jiang Jingheng thought of something and looked at the others present. "Let’s keep my marriage to Mu Yan a secret for now."

Ning Ze and the others calmed down and guessed that Jiang Jingheng had married Mu Yan without telling his family.

As for why, it was obvious: a family like the Jiang Family wouldn’t accept Mu Yan.

However, daring to defy convention and marry Mu Yan also showed her importance to Brother Jiang.

"Don’t worry, Brother Jiang. We won’t say a word we shouldn’t," they promised.

"Okay." Jiang Jingheng lowered his eyes, initially planning to announce it later.

However, a few unexpected things happened today, forcing him to change his plans and reassure her.

Meanwhile, Mu Yan and Lan Xi had taken a turn around, and after Lan Xi went to get some juice, Mu Yan stood alone by the railing, admiring the night sky.

The stars in April weren’t impressive, not many and not bright.

However, gazing at the stars amidst this hustle allowed for a rare moment of tranquility.

Suddenly, she sensed someone approaching her.

Turning her head, she saw Zhuang Yi standing beside her.

"Mr. Zhuang, have you finished drinking?"

Instinctively, she glanced in Jiang Jingheng’s direction. They were still drinking.

"No, just passing through," Zhuang Yi said, his eyes fixed intently on her face.

"Oh." Mu Yan nodded, averting her gaze.

As Zhuang Yi looked at her elegant and charming face, the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

He tentatively asked, "Miss Mu, is ’Mu Yan’ your stage name?"

Mu Yan looked at him with surprise, "No, my real name is Mu Yan. Why do you ask, Mr. Zhuang?"

Zhuang Yi frowned. Was he mistaken?

No, perhaps she had changed her name!

He asked again, "Miss Mu, where are you from?"

"I’m from Upper City."

"How many people are there in your family?"

Mu Yan replied truthfully, "There are four of us. My parents passed away, so it’s just my brother and me."

Zhuang Yi’s expression changed slightly. Something didn’t add up.

He pursued further, "How old is your brother?"

Mu Yan glanced at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Was this an interrogation?

Zhuang Yi realized he was asking too much and apologized, "I’m just curious, after all, this is such a big event as Jing Heng’s marriage, and we didn’t know anything beforehand."

Mu Yan didn’t believe his reason at all. She had never seen friends of a husband interrogating the woman’s family circumstances.

Still, as a public figure, her information was semi-transparent and easily accessible, so she had nothing to hide.

She stated calmly, "My brother is two years younger than me."

Zhuang Yi felt as if cold water had poured over him from head to toe.

Could it be he was mistaken, and they just looked similar?

Noticing something off about his emotions, Mu Yan tentatively asked, "Mr. Zhuang, are you alright?"

Zhuang Yi, refusing to give up, asked one last time, "Do you really not know me or the Imperial Capital Zhuang Family?"
