A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 184: Actors Must Be the Best

After dropping Mu Yan off at Jinxiu Villa, Song Cheng’an drove away.

Mu Yan arrived home just in time for lunch.

Yu Ma seemed to have anticipated her return and prepared a lot of dishes.

After eating, Mu Yan went back to her room to read scripts.

Besides "Immortal Sword Fate," there was another one called "Pure Consort."

Just earlier in the car, Song Cheng’an had discussed with her that he hoped she would audition for the third female lead in "Pure Consort," a stunning beauty not favored by the Emperor.

The third female lead didn’t have many scenes, but the role was striking enough.

Before she knew it, the afternoon had slipped away, and Yu Ma came up to call her for dinner.

Mu Yan went downstairs and saw that Jiang Jingheng hadn’t come home.

She looked at Yu Ma, "Where’s the Young Master?"

"The Young Master went to the mansion today," Yu Ma replied.

Mu Yan paused momentarily, didn’t say anything, and walked over to the dining table to sit down and eat.

She looked at the empty spot across the table, feeling a bit choked up inside.

A couple of days ago when she left, he had asked her to come back in two days.

As it turned out, she came back and he wasn’t there, what is this?

Thinking about it, she found herself quite laughable, why did she listen to him so much?

Just because of that supposed fondness? Feed it to the dogs.

After eating half a bowl of rice, Mu Yan went back upstairs to read the scripts.

Yu Ma watched her go up without coming down again, then went to the living room to make a call.

"Young Master, the Young Madam seems unhappy that you’re not back."

The night was deep, and the stars gleamed like diamonds against the night sky.

At the Jiang Family Mansion, the rooftop terrace was dimly lit.

The man sat in a wheelchair, with two glasses of red wine on the small table beside him, though the seat across from him was empty.

Suddenly, a figure approached.

"Girlfriend calling?" Jiang Wenhao smiled at the person who sat down across from him.

Jiang Jingheng lowered his eyes and said quietly, "No."

A wife is not a girlfriend!

"I noticed you seem to have been waiting for a call all evening," Jiang Wenhao laughed, his eyes sparkling with humor.

Jiang Jingheng picked up his wine glass, swirled it, but said nothing.

Jiang Wenhao continued, "It’s strange. You usually come back on Fridays. What’s got you back today? A fight with your girlfriend?"

"I don’t fight with her."

Jiang Wenhao looked a bit surprised, "Then it’s..."

Jiang Jingheng stared at the crimson liquid in the glass, his eyes deepening, offering no response.

Bright and early, Mu Yan went to the recording studio.

Soon after, Lin Jiamu and Qin Xi arrived, along with Lin Jiamu’s agent, Xie Feng.

Upon arrival, Xie Feng pleaded with Mu Yan, "Mu Yan, please talk to Jia Mu. He’s got so many scheduled appearances, yet he just drops everything. How am I supposed to explain this to the partners?"

Only then did Mu Yan realize that Lin Jiamu had put work aside to teach her singing.

She looked at Lin Jiamu, straightforwardly declaring, "If you don’t go to work, then I won’t sing this song."

Lin Jiamu had no choice but to hand over the new arrangement to Qin Xi and then left with Xie Feng.

In the recording studio, only Mu Yan and Qin Xi remained.

Unable to resist, Qin Xi teased, "Lin Jiamu treats you so well, aren’t you moved?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Mu Yan retorted, "He treats you well too, are you moved?"

Qin Xi huffed lightly, "I have Brother Lu. I won’t be swayed by anyone else."

Mu Yan chuckled; a woman in love is different—words spoken seem to fill the air with pink bubbles.

Not that she liked Lin Jiamu, besides, his feelings toward her were not of romantic nature.

"Okay, let’s practice singing."

Shengyuan Group, CEO’s office.

Lian Jun entered to report the news, "Young Master, the ’Immortal Fate’ crew has just submitted the candidate list for one of the female leads, and it’s not the Young Madam."

Jiang Jingheng paused his writing and looked up, "What happened?"

Lian Jun replied earnestly, "It’s not that, I inquired. The director thought she was a newcomer, her acting skills are good, but they’re worried she might not attract enough traffic."

Jiang Jingheng coldly asked, "Who’s the investor?"

"You!"

"Tell him, this amount of money doesn’t concern me. I can increase the investment, but the actress must be the best," Jiang Jingheng said indifferently.

"Yes!"
