A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 478: He Won’t Give Up!

Jiang Jingheng finished giving instructions and returned to the room.He lay on the bed, holding Mu Yan as they rested.

In the middle of the night, he was suddenly woken up by the person in his arms.

"I don’t want to leave, Mom."

"Mom, I’m so scared."

"No, no..."

...

She was trapped in a nightmare, her forehead covered in tiny beads of sweat, muttering incessantly.

"Mu Yan, wake up." Jiang Jingheng gently shook her shoulder.

Mu Yan gradually woke up, opening her eyes, the light stinging her eyes painfully.

After a long moment, she opened her eyes to find Jiang Jingheng looking at her with a worried expression.

"I’m sorry, did I wake you?" she asked softly.

Seeing that her mood was relatively good, Jiang Jingheng was relieved, holding her in his arms, he gently asked, "What nightmare did you have again?"

Mu Yan pursed her lips and shook her head, "I seem to have forgotten."

"Hmm?" Jiang Jingheng looked at her.

"I just remembered, but now it seems I’ve forgotten." Mu Yan answered.

Jiang Jingheng gently caressed her back, "It’s good if you forgot, now sleep."

"Okay." Mu Yan closed her eyes, and suddenly an image of a weeping little girl’s face appeared in her mind.

She suddenly opened her eyes, looking frightened.

Jiang Jingheng, who had been paying attention to her movements, asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I just feel like I can’t fall asleep," Mu Yan said.

"Then I’ll chat with you."

Mu Yan raised her hand to caress his eyelid, asking, "Aren’t you sleepy?"

"If you’re not sleepy, then I’m not sleepy either."

Mu Yan couldn’t help but smile, "You’re coaxing me again."

"No, I’m not." Jiang Jingheng said warmly.

She probably didn’t know that every night, he only went to sleep after she fell asleep first.

Only then would he feel at ease.

They chatted intermittently, and before long, Mu Yan fell asleep again.

The next morning, Jiang Jingheng woke up with a feeling that something was off.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he realized the person in his arms was gone.

His expression changed slightly, and he immediately sat up, ready to get out of bed to search for her.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and Mu Yan came out. Seeing him sitting up, she asked, "Why don’t you sleep a little longer?"

Seeing her, Jiang Jingheng’s heart instantly settled.

"I’ve slept enough, you should sleep a bit more." He said as he got out of bed.

"No, I’ve slept well. Besides, I have an event this morning."

"Okay." Jiang Jingheng went to the bathroom to wash up.

Looking at the nearly frantic figure in the mirror, he wished he could tie her to his side every moment.

Soon, Jiang Jingheng finished cleaning up and went downstairs to make breakfast.

Soon after, Mu Yan’s nanny car arrived to pick her up. After sending her off, Jiang Jingheng headed to the company.

As soon as he arrived at the company, he heard Lian Jun say that Zhuang Yi had come.

Entering the office, he saw Zhuang Yi sitting on the sofa, looking lost in thought.

His eyes were bloodshot; it was clear he hadn’t slept due to a hangover.

Jiang Jingheng asked, "Played all night yesterday and still have the energy to come here today?"

He walked behind his desk, sat down, and started flipping through the files.

Zhuang Yi looked at him and directly said, "I’m here to ask you something."

"Hmm?"

Zhuang Yi suddenly got up and handed his phone to him, "Have you seen this person before?"

Jiang Jingheng looked at the woman on the phone screen, a trace of surprise flitted through his light brown eyes, this person...

Soon, he replied, "That’s not Mu Yan."

Although very similar, her clothing and temperament were quite different.

It was obvious that the person in the photo lived in a much earlier time.

"Right, it’s not Mu Yan." Zhuang Yi said, "I’ll send you this photo; could you ask her if she knows this person?"
