In mid-January, Mu Yan was invited to attend a television awards ceremony. Previously, she had won Best Supporting Actress and the Most Promising Actress Award for her role as Imperial Concubine Liang Wanyu in "Pure Consort."

This time, she was nominated for Best Actress in the TV series "Immortal Fate." Although she didn’t win the award, she did receive the Most Popular Actress Award, which was determined by online traffic.

Reflecting on Mu Yan’s performance over the past year, her popularity surged starting with the hit of "Immortal Fate," and the new series "Time Will Not Betray You" became a sensation even before its broadcast, with audience anticipation close to five stars. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Having won several awards, Mu Yan was able to handle it with calm, and her fans were sincerely happy for her.

Since "Time Will Not Betray You" was about to air, Mu Yan symbolically attended a few promotional events but spent most of her time accompanying Mu Chen in the hospital.

Days passed quickly and it was almost the end of the year.

As the end of the year approached, all companies and organizations were busy, especially Jiang Jingheng’s, with numerous meetings to hold and frequent overtime work.

As a result, he often finished work around nine or ten in the evening, couldn’t find time to visit Mu Yan in the hospital, and would return home to a cold, empty house.

During this period, the company’s executives had to face the boss’s low mood every day, and any mistake would result in a severe scolding, making life quite tough.

Although it was well-known that the CEO had a bad temper, it was rare for him to lash out at people so frequently.

Many people asked Lian Jun what was wrong with the CEO lately.

Just now, several executives had been thrown a bunch of files by Jiang Jingheng, coming out looking disheveled.

Lian Jun couldn’t bear it and called Mu Yan.

At that moment, Mu Yan was in the hospital with Mu Chen, discussing where to spend the New Year.

"Young Madam, the end-of-year work pressure is high, and the young master has been working overtime for over a week continuously. His body can’t handle it. He has a cold but still insists on going to work. If this goes on, his body will surely break down."

Hearing Lian Jun’s words, Mu Yan immediately panicked and urgently asked, "Is it very serious?"

Lian Jun dared not say it was serious, as it was actually a lie.

"It’s not serious, but the young master doesn’t rest or take medicine, and this..."

Mu Yan knew Jiang Jingheng had a stubborn personality and didn’t care much about his own well-being, and she felt deeply distressed.

She said angrily, "With me around, he wouldn’t dare not take medicine."

After exchanging a few words with Lian Jun, Mu Yan hung up the phone and said to Mu Chen, "I’m going to see your brother-in-law."

As soon as Mu Chen heard that his brother-in-law was ill, he urged her to go quickly.

Mu Yan changed her clothes, put on a little makeup, and took a car to Shengyuan Group.

She wore a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, and was wrapped tightly in a down jacket. Ordinary people couldn’t recognize her at a glance unless followed by paparazzi.

Lian Jun had been waiting downstairs early. Seeing her arrival, he immediately led her inside.

This was Mu Yan’s first time at Shengyuan Group, but she didn’t dare to let her eyes wander around for fear of being recognized.

Of course, she could feel many curious gazes falling on her as she passed by.

"Who’s that next to Assistant Lian?"

"Looks like she’s a socialite."

"Isn’t it said that the CEO is married?"

"Could it be the CEO’s wife? Otherwise, why would Assistant Lian personally come down to receive her?"

...

On the thirtieth floor, Mu Yan followed Lian Jun out of the elevator and walked towards the CEO’s office.

Lian Jun let Mu Yan in and told the secretary outside, "Prepare a cup of hot black tea with lemon, not too hot nor too warm. Also, prepare some snacks, but no matcha flavor, and get a freshly squeezed juice."

The secretaries stared at Lian Jun in a daze, wondering what he was saying.

When they saw Mu Yan go in, someone asked, "Assistant Lian, the visitor isn’t the Empress, this is too meticulous."

Lian Jun glanced at them, "The visitor is indeed not the Empress, but the Crown Princess Consort."
