A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 989: Men Shouldn’t Be Spoiled!

Lan Xi’s words were blunt, causing Zheng Lu Hua to choke, her face turning red like an apple.She stammered, "No, that’s not the case."

"Hmm?" Lan Xi looked at her, puzzled.

"I mean, he’s not incapable," Zheng Lu Hua gritted her teeth and said. They usually got pretty close, just never took the final step. Whether he could or not, she could still tell.

Lan Xi rubbed her forehead; the problem had returned to square one.

She patted Lan Xi’s arm and said, "Child, just give up. It seems Jian Shaohan isn’t interested in you."

Zheng Lu Hua felt like crying but had no tears; a man she liked wasn’t interested in her, which was a huge humiliation.

But what could she do?

Mu Yan, seeing it was about the time Jiang Jingheng should have arrived, said, "You’ll have to decide this yourself. But, you can’t just please him all the time; men shouldn’t be spoiled."

"Yeah, look at Brother Jiang, how well he treats our Yanyan. She’s practically held in the palm of his hand. She’s absolutely right," Lan Xi said with a cheeky grin.

Mu Yan shot her a glance, "Not calling me sister-in-law anymore?"

"That’s when Brother Jiang is around. Calling sister-in-law in private just makes our relationship seem distant. You’re even younger than me," Lan Xi said confidently.

Mu Yan chuckled and didn’t argue with her.

Zheng Lu Hua listened attentively and asked Mu Yan, "Yanyan, how do you usually get along with Brother Jiang? I’m so envious of you."

Mu Yan saw the curiosity on their faces, thought for a moment, and said, "It’s just normal couple things."

"Do you also cook for Brother Jiang and take care of his daily life?" Lan Xi asked.

Mu Yan shook her head, "Not really, most of it’s done by the housekeeper. When we’re home together, he’s the one cooking."

"Then what do you do?"

Mu Yan put on a serious face and gestured to her own face, "Look beautiful like a flower."

Lan Xi, "..."

Zheng Lu Hua, "..."

How did they not realize Mu Yan was so vain before?

Lan Xi sighed, "It’s really frustrating when you compare people—it’s not our problem, it’s the men. Why do the ones we love lack Brother Jiang’s warmth and patience?"

Zheng Lu Hua nodded in agreement; indeed.

"But our Yanyan is skilled at managing her husband. It’s worth learning," Lan Xi added.

Zheng Lu Hua nodded again, looking at Mu Yan with admiration.

Mu Yan chuckled, preparing to say something when her phone suddenly rang.

"It must be Brother Jiang calling, haha," Lan Xi laughed.

Mu Yan looked and indeed it was him calling.

She turned to the two of them, "He’s here to pick me up; I have to go."

"Okay, I’ll walk you out," Zheng Lu Hua said, getting up.

"Don’t worry about it. You’re not a stranger; I’ll go with Yanyan, you just stay here," Lan Xi stopped her, "Give yourself more time to think things over."

Zheng Lu Hua nodded, "Thanks."

"No need to be polite."

Lan Xi laughed, grabbed her bag, and went downstairs with Mu Yan.

Jiang Jingheng’s car was parked outside; seeing the two of them, he opened the car door and got out.

Mu Yan saw him and quickly ran over, looking like a little bird leaning on him.

Lan Xi watched the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of her and felt very pleased.

Actually, she was usually like a little bird in front of Lu Hao, too, but Lu Hao wasn’t as gentle with her as Brother Jiang was with Mu Yan.

There’s nothing she could do; love and unlove are two extremes, and lucky for her, Lu Hao hadn’t pushed her to that extreme yet.

She stepped forward to greet Jiang Jingheng, "Hi, Brother Jiang."

Jiang Jingheng asked her, "Driving?"

"I am. You guys go ahead."

Jiang Jingheng nodded and drove away with Mu Yan.

Lan Xi watched the car disappear in the distance, picked up her phone, found Lu Hao’s number, and dialed it.

Soon, the call was answered by a female voice, "Hello?"
