A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire
Chapter 1044: Darkness
Jiang Jingheng saw persistence in her eyes. She was stubborn by nature, and once she decided on something, not even eight horses could pull her back.
Usually, she was willing to go along with him and listen to him, only because it hadn’t touched her bottom line.
Yes, Mu Chen was her bottom line.
Ever since he returned, her heart had been entirely focused on her brother, without a single word of concern for him.
Did she think in her heart that he was less important than her brother?
Thinking of this, his whole heart turned cold.
"I’ll stay here with you," he said.
"No need, you go home and rest. The hospital bed is so small, you won’t be comfortable sleeping here." Mu Yan said. He had just returned from abroad, after a day-long flight, rushing to the hospital, he must be very tired.
Jiang Jingheng’s mood lifted a bit. Softly, he said, "Then I’ll go back and change clothes before coming back."
"No need to come back, you just rest at home." Mu Yan insisted.
"Behave!" Jiang Jingheng said in a low voice.
Mu Yan pouted, then nodded in agreement.
Jiang Jingheng ruffled her hair, instructed the bodyguard on a few things, then left.
As he exited the hospital, a gust of cold wind rushed toward him, clearing his mind quite a bit.
He took out his phone and called Lian Jun, "Still haven’t found a suitable heart?"
"As soon as possible."
He hung up the phone, his mind filled with the image of her anxious and tense expression. Although he was displeased that her attention was on someone else, he didn’t want to see her sad and distressed either.
About two hours later, Jiang Jingheng returned to the hospital, bringing Mu Yan several sets of clothes and shoes to change into, all warm and cozy.
That night, the two squeezed onto one hospital bed. After a day of running around, Jiang Jingheng quickly fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly sensed some movement. He opened his eyes and saw Mu Yan quietly getting up and leaving the ward.
Watching her back, he knew without thinking that she was going to see Mu Chen.
He closed his eyes, hiding the gloom in his heart, but he couldn’t fall back to sleep until she returned.
Yet, before long, she got up again.
Throughout the night, it repeated several times.
Several times, he wanted to stop her, but in the end, he gave up.
The next morning, Mu Yan saw that Jiang Jingheng had panda eyes and felt terribly guilty, "Was I squeezing you last night?"
Before he could answer, she reproached him, "I told you to sleep at home, but you insisted on coming here."
Jiang Jingheng said helplessly, "You wouldn’t go back with me, what can I do?"
Mu Yan pursed her lips, "I’m okay. I used to stay in the hospital with Mu Chen all by myself."
Jiang Jingheng didn’t respond. He looked at his watch and said, "I’ll go to the company first, you behave and eat breakfast."
"Okay." Mu Yan nodded, "Drive carefully on the way."
"Okay."
After seeing Jiang Jingheng off, Mu Yan took a few bites of breakfast and went to stay with Mu Chen.
Mu Chen, knowing that Jiang Jingheng also stayed at the hospital last night, felt very guilty, "Brother-in-law is so busy, how could he stay at the hospital with me."
Mu Yan said righteously, "Our parents aren’t around, your brother-in-law is the head of the family, why can’t he stay in the hospital? Don’t overthink it."
"But this isn’t good." Mu Chen frowned, "I’m fine, there’s no need for you to stay at the hospital with me."
"I want to stay with you at the hospital. Before I got married, didn’t I stay with you at the hospital every day? Why didn’t you mind then?"
"But you weren’t married then." Mu Chen frowned.
"Alright, these are all small matters. Just remember to take care of yourself."
Mu Chen still insisted, "Sister, tonight you should go home and rest with brother-in-law."
Mu Yan couldn’t argue with him and had to agree verbally.
Somehow, the news of Mu Chen entering the emergency room got out, and in the afternoon, Qin Xi and Lin Jiamu came by.
