A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 180 Is he getting too close to that Lin Jiamu?

Paparazzi? Mu Yan’s expression changed slightly, and she instinctively looked around.

"Don’t look, they’re behind me." Lin Jiamu took off his jacket and covered Mu Yan’s head with it, "Come with me."

He grabbed Mu Yan’s wrist, and the two walked directly towards the parking spot.

Once in the car, Lin Jiamu said, "I need to shake off the paparazzi first, so it’ll be a bit later before I can take you back to the hospital."

"It’s okay." Mu Yan frowned slightly and looked at Lin Jiamu, "Did they capture anything just now?"

"They probably did, but don’t worry, I’ll handle it," Lin Jiamu reassured her.

Mu Yan felt that things couldn’t be as simple as he said. If they were photographed together, the headlines were inevitable tomorrow.

Even though Lin Jiamu had only been in the industry for a few years, his popularity was immense, with a large fanbase, especially female fans.

Lin Jiamu had a few rumored girlfriends before, and many of his fans didn’t accept them, insulting the girlfriends harshly, with some even unfollowing him.

She looked at Lin Jiamu and apologized, "I’m sorry."

Lin Jiamu was taken aback, looked at her, and said, "There’s nothing to apologize for; it’s not your fault."

He suddenly chuckled lightly, "If anyone’s to blame, it’s my fame; I’m the one dragging you into this."

Mu Yan, "..."

He’s really thick-skinned.

About half an hour later, the car left the city center. Lin Jiamu glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "It’s fine now, they’re gone."

There were fewer cars here, no surveillance, and even the streetlights were sparse.

There was a bridge ahead, and Lin Jiamu stopped the car there.

After getting out of the car, Mu Yan felt a cool breeze on her cheeks, blowing away her nervousness.

She walked to the edge of the bridge, leaned her body against the railing, closed her eyes, and let her whole heart relax, feeling the breath of the night.

Lin Jiamu came over and asked, "Have you been tired with work lately?"

"Not bad." Mu Yan smiled, "How about you?"

"Still okay." Lin Jiamu stood beside her, looking down at the bridge.

Unfortunately, it was too dark to see anything.

He deepened his gaze slightly and asked, "I heard from Qin Xi that you’ve met someone you like."

Mu Yan chuckled, "No, don’t listen to her nonsense."

It’s just a little affection, that’s all.

Lin Jiamu looked at her, "If you meet someone you like, bring them for me to see."

Mu Yan opened her eyes, glanced at him, "You don’t seriously want to be my dad like Qin Xi said, do you?"

"I certainly couldn’t have a daughter as big as you." Lin Jiamu snorted lightly.

Mu Yan thought for a moment and said seriously, "Even a reborn parent is still a parent; maybe I should really call you dad."

A fleeting emotion passed through Lin Jiamu’s eyes, and a scene flashed in his mind.

A teenage girl sat on the bridge pier, looking at the raging water below, crying all night.

He stood not far away, heart in his throat, fearing she might jump.

He suddenly said, "I believe you wouldn’t do anything foolish."

Mu Yan shook her head, "Not really. If it wasn’t for you persuading me then, I might have really ended it."

Back then, when Mom passed away, it felt like the sky was falling, guilt and self-blame made her want to give up on life.

It was that night she met Lin Jiamu.

So in the end, she walked down from the bridge.

Lin Jiamu’s heart ached; she would never know, she saved him.

Made an unruly young man finally understand the true meaning of life and end his ridiculous life.

"I know you like acting now, but I still hope you’ll pick up a paintbrush. A friend of mine knows a psychologist who recently returned; I’ll give you their contact. See them whenever you have time."

Mu Yan remained silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay."

"I’ll take you back."

Chapter 180

All night, Mu Yan didn’t sleep peacefully, worried about rumors of her and Lin Jiamu online.

The first thing she did upon waking up was to go online; as expected, today’s headlines were dominated by Lin Jiamu.

"Lin Jiamu’s Girlfriend Unveiled"

"Lin Jiamu bids farewell to singlehood, deeply embracing his girlfriend"

"Rivaling fifty million fans, what Lin Jiamu’s girlfriend needs goes beyond courage."

...

Mu Yan felt a numbing scalp, her heart exclaiming, "Oh no, the rumors are here!"

She clicked into the headline and saw several photos, some blurry, she couldn’t tell if it was Lin Jiamu.

One was of Lin Jiamu with his back to the camera, and she was just covered by him.

Another was of Lin Jiamu leading her away, her head covered by his clothes.

The rest were of them getting in the car and leaving.

So, from beginning to end, her face was not exposed.

The content only mentioned Lin Jiamu leaving with his girlfriend after dinner, without knowing her identity.

She logged into Weibo and checked unread comments, fans talked about things from the past few days.

She then went to Lin Jiamu’s Weibo, wails everywhere.

Jia Mu is my husband: "Mu Mu, you promised not to date for now, you lied, unfollow, unfollow!"

Mu Mu Mu Mu: "I’m just curious who this shameless third party is, daring to seduce my husband! [angry]"

Hedong Lion’s Roar: "Hey, teacher, I want to take a leave, reason? I got dumped!"

Hope’s Light: "Woke up this morning to hear on social media my Mu Mu is in love, I mustn’t be fully awake, let me sleep again."

...

Mu Yan felt worried, exited Weibo, and called Lin Jiamu.

Lin Jiamu seemed to be still sleepy, after hearing her out, he just said not to worry, he would handle it.

Mu Yan checked the time; she had to sign with IOC today, so she didn’t say more and started packing.

Song Cheng’an came to the hospital to pick her up, seeing her get in the car, he asked, "Was the person with Lin Jiamu last night you?"

Mu Yan looked up, seeing Song Cheng’an’s unpleasant face, she immediately apologized, "Sorry, Brother Song, I almost caused trouble."

"No need to apologize to me." Song Cheng’an looked at her, "Having such a big pop star friend to boost your popularity, I’m all for it."

Mu Yan explained, "I’m not in a relationship with Lin Jiamu as the news said, he was just helping me block the camera."

Song Cheng’an’s lips slightly curved, "I’m not the one needing the explanation."

Mu Yan was speechless, does she have to call Jiang Jingheng to explain what happened last night?

But what if he doesn’t care at all, wouldn’t explaining be a bit self-indulgent?

Anyway, she had a clear conscience.

Shengyuan Group, President’s Office.

Jiang Jingheng looked at today’s headline, his expression as dark as ink, with rage brewing in his light brown eyes.

He suddenly threw his phone on the desk, instructing Lian Jun, "Take down these seriously false headlines."

Lian Jun was somewhat puzzled, "But the headline has nothing to do with Young Madam."

Jiang Jingheng looked at him coldly, "Do you think I’m blind?"

Lian Jun, "..."

He wouldn’t dare have such a treasonous thought.

Covered so thoroughly, only the young master could recognize that it was the Young Madam.

Lian Jun immediately said, "Yes, I’ll take care of it right away!"

Jiang Jingheng tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, eyes full of gloom.

Isn’t she and that Lin Jiamu getting too close?
