A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 476: Struggling in Agony!

The lighting on the top floor was somewhat dim. Mu Yan stood by the railing, her beautiful face hidden in the light and shadow.She looked at the man in front of her, her clear eyes seeming to be covered with frost, exuding a chilling aura around her.

The surrounding noise, rising and falling, seemed unable to break this cold, stagnant atmosphere.

She gave a slight, sarcastic smile, "Do psychologists all like to talk nonsense based on their subjective opinions?"

Before Xu Yachong could defend himself, she continued, "Who told you my parents’ marriage is unhappy? No one in this world is more loving than they are."

Xu Yachong looked at her, his expression calm. "Do you know what you look like right now?"

Mu Yan frowned slightly, her gaze sharp as she looked at him.

Xu Yachong suddenly laughed, "Like a fish washed up on the beach by a wave, struggling desperately."

Mu Yan’s whole heart sank. Psychologists were indeed the most detestable people.

"Mu Yan, Brother Xu, what are you talking about?" Lan Xi’s voice came from the front.

Mu Yan looked up to see her walking over, holding a tray with snacks and drinks on it.

She said indifferently, "Bringing so much to eat?"

"Yeah, I didn’t eat much tonight, and now I’m starving."

Xu Yachong said to the two of them, "You guys chat."

With a nod, he turned and left.

Lan Xi watched his back, puzzling over it, "Are you and Brother Xu very close?"

Mu Yan’s eyes flickered, "No, we just happened to meet."

She glanced at the snacks on the tray, "Eat less at night, be careful of gaining weight."

Gaining weight is a sensitive topic for every girl, mentioning it would cause a reaction.

"Gaining weight is fine." Lan Xi grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, muttering, "Anyway, whether I’m fat or thin, he doesn’t care."

Mu Yan frowned slightly, "Your way of thinking is wrong. No matter how much you like someone, you can’t abandon yourself because of them. Someone who doesn’t love you won’t feel sorry for you."

Lan Xi paused her chewing motion, then took a big sip of juice.

She looked at Mu Yan, "I really envy you for having a husband like Brother Jiang who genuinely cares for you."

At the mention of Jing Heng, Mu Yan’s eyes softened a bit.

He was impeccably good to her, but this perfection made her feel a little uneasy inside.

"Do you think, if the Jiang Family knew about my existence, they would bless us?"

Lan Xi looked at her, hesitated, then said, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course."

"Blessings are impossible. The environment at Brother Jiang’s home is a bit complicated, and there’s no way his mother could like you."

Lan Xi felt she had spoken too harshly and comforted her, "But don’t worry, as long as Brother Jiang likes you, it’s enough. You don’t live with his mother anyway."

Mu Yan didn’t speak. In fact, they both knew well that this comfort was quite hollow.

Jing Heng’s status was there for all to see, and his wife had to come from a distinguished family to be a match for him.

Lan Xi felt she might have caused trouble, hurriedly saying, "Let’s go back, otherwise Brother Jiang will come looking for us."

"Okay!" Mu Yan nodded, and the two of them returned to their seat.

Jing Heng stood up and pulled her to sit next to him, asking, "Why were you gone so long?"

Mu Yan had just sat down and hadn’t spoken when his displeased voice came through.

"Why are your hands so cold?"

Before Mu Yan could say anything, Zhuang Yi from the opposite side said, "Is Miss Mu born with cold hands?"

She glanced at him and replied indifferently, "No."

Their gazes met, and Zhuang Yi instantly realized he had been a bit impolite.

Jing Heng gave him a look, a dark glint flashing in his light brown eyes.

He suddenly turned to Lu Hao and said, "It’s getting late, Mu Yan and I will leave first."
