A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 488: The Man Who Can’t Be Kept Warm!

The private room was eerily quiet, and Ning Ze and the others looked at Zhao Xiyue with strange expressions.She really was fearless in her ignorance, actually daring to threaten Brother Jiang.

Zhao Xiyue’s heart was also filled with unease, and her breathing became heavier.

A threat was not her original intention, but if he stubbornly refused to relent, she had no choice but to resort to this.

She looked at the tall, cold figure in front of her and said again, "You should be well aware that your family will not accept Mu Yan as their daughter-in-law; now if I expose her identity, it won’t do her any good."

Jiang Jingheng turned his head to look at her, his light brown eyes as cold as if they were tempered with ice.

Zhao Xiyue’s expression slightly changed, and a sudden fear arose in her heart.

The man in front of her at this moment was like an angry predator, ready to pounce and tear her apart at any time.

"Let her go, fine, show your sincerity." The man’s icy voice sounded.

Ning Ze and the others exchanged glances, since when was Brother Jiang so accommodating?

Zhao Xiyue reacted immediately and said, "First, I will not reveal your relationship with Mu Yan; second, I will refuse the arranged marriage with the Jiang family. The reason being, it’s my issue, as I love someone else."

Jiang Jingheng said coldly, "You must keep your word, or it won’t be so easy next time."

"Don’t worry, I will keep my promise." Zhao Xiyue said solemnly.

"Release her!" Jiang Jingheng finished speaking and turned to walk out.

Zhao Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head to look at Hu Jiao.

Hu Jiao, freed from restraint, immediately rushed over to her and hugged her tightly.

"Xiyue, I was scared to death, waah..." She cried, holding Zhao Xiyue tightly.

"It’s all right, it’s all right." Zhao Xiyue comforted her.

Ning Ze and the others were a little speechless; they hadn’t even taken any action yet, and she was already so frightened.

Lan Xi saw Hu Jiao sobbing and handed tissue to Zhao Xiyue. "Give it to her to wipe her tears."

"Thank you." Zhao Xiyue accepted it.

Lan Xi lightly snorted, "You should be grateful Brother Jiang has a weakness now, otherwise tonight’s incident wouldn’t have been so simple."

Zhao Xiyue remained silent, thinking, is Jiang Jingheng’s weakness Mu Yan?

In fact, she was taking a gamble just now, and didn’t expect to win it.

After calming Hu Jiao down, Zhao Xiyue left with her.

Ning Ze and the others didn’t leave, staying in the private room as if nothing happened, continuing to play.

On the road, Zhao Xiyue advised Hu Jiao, "Don’t ever do something like this again."

"Don’t worry, I understand." Hu Jiao promised.

A lesson learned, she would definitely not get involved in these matters again, she was scared.

Zhao Xiyue sighed, "Luckily, your friend called me to say you were taken by Jiang Jingheng’s people, otherwise who knows what would have happened tonight."

"Thank you, Xiyue." Hu Jiao said softly, "I’m sorry I caused trouble for you this time."

"Don’t say silly things, you did it for me too."

Hu Jiao tentatively asked, "Are you really going to break off the engagement with Young Master Jiang?"

Zhao Xiyue laughed, "That’s not something I can decide."

The woman is willing, but the man is not enthusiastic!

After taking Hu Jiao home, Zhao Xiyue drove back to her house.

Her mind was filled with his cold and unforgiving demeanor from tonight, making her shiver a bit.

For the first time, she doubted herself; was this the man she had loved for so many years?

He was as cold as ice, no wonder she couldn’t warm him up.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, the sound of a collision.

Zhao Xiyue snapped back to her senses and looked up to realize she had run a red light.

Her gaze swept over the motorcycle lying on the ground and the helmet a short distance away, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh no, there was an accident.
