CHAPTER 21: CHAPTER 21: DID YOU GRADUATE FROM THE ACTING DEPARTMENT?

Actually, Mu Yan just wanted to confirm again. Since Jiang Jingheng said no, then there probably isn’t.

"It’s getting late, I’m going back to my room to sleep first." Mu Yan said.

"Looks like I’ll be alone in an empty room tonight." Jiang Jingheng sighed, with a bit of grievance in his tone.

Mu Yan frowned slightly, glanced at him, and asked, "Young Master Jiang, did you graduate from the acting department?"

"No, I studied finance. Why the sudden interest in my major?" Jiang Jingheng raised his brows, a hint of a smile on his handsome face.

Mu Yan said earnestly, "It’s nothing, just felt that you have a lot of drama and great acting skills, I really can’t compare."

Jiang Jingheng, "..."

He felt like he had swallowed a fly.

"Young Master Jiang, goodnight." Mu Yan nodded slightly towards him and turned to walk to the guest room.

Jiang Jingheng watched the guest room door close, and the emotions on his face cooled down as well.

His cold gaze swept around; if this were a cage that bound him, now he was no longer alone.

After returning to her room, Mu Yan took a shower in the bathroom.

She originally thought that someone like Jiang Jingheng from a wealthy family would have a lot of rules, but seeing him now, he isn’t that difficult of a person to get along with.

Of course, if they hadn’t met at the club and found a topic, tonight might not have been so relaxed.

Actually, she no longer cares about what happened that night. Even if she was at a disadvantage, the fault was hers; she has no reason to hate him.

Just like that, let them maintain this contractual relationship, each taking what they need.

When the time comes, she can free herself too.

After a good night’s sleep, Mu Yan woke up the next day and saw the time; it was already three in the afternoon.

Getting out of bed, she went to the bathroom to wash up and then changed clothes before going downstairs.

Yu Ma was busy in the living room, and when she saw her coming down, she smiled and called out, "Young Madam, you’re awake."

Mu Yan felt a bit embarrassed and nodded.

"You must be hungry, I’ll get you some food." Yu Ma said as she headed to the kitchen.

Mu Yan didn’t stop her; she looked around the empty living room. Jiang Jingheng wasn’t home?

Oh right, it’s a weekday, he must be at the company.

Soon, Yu Ma brought out the dishes, a feast of eight dishes and a soup, extremely sumptuous.

Mu Yan held the bowl and smiled, "Yu Ma, it’s just me eating, you’ve prepared way too much."

"This is what the young master instructed," Yu Ma replied, "He said you’ve gotten thinner."

Mu Yan, "..."

She didn’t know she had gotten thinner; her weight had been quite stable.

Could it be that he even deceived Yu Ma to make their relationship seem more real?

After dinner, Mu Yan returned to her room.

She had originally planned to visit her brother in the hospital today, but it was too late and she’d have to do it another day.

At the window sill, Mu Yan was reading a book, but after a long time, she couldn’t absorb anything.

Her marriage with Jiang Jingheng is only for two years, and she can’t ensure that he will always help her brother during those two years.

Moreover, in the future, she and her brother will still need money, so she has to work.

If anything, she knows how to paint, but her hand...

As for other skills, there’s only acting.

She has been Mu Yan’s stand-in all this time, but she has been diligently honing her acting skills.

Or perhaps, what happened last time made her unwilling to just be a stand-in.

Wasn’t Zhou Lifen afraid she’d surpass her? How could she disappoint her!

Last week, Qin Xi had called to recommend a director to her.

She declined at the time, but perhaps now she could reconsider.

Thinking of this, she made a call.

In the living room, Yu Ma was cleaning.

Seeing Mu Yan hurrying downstairs with her bag, looking like she was in a rush to leave, she asked, "Young Madam, where are you going?"

"To meet a friend, I might be back late." Mu Yan replied, "No need to wait for me to finish dinner."

Yu Ma watched her leave and then made a phone call.

Her expression was serious, "Young Master, the Young Madam has gone out, said she’s meeting a friend."
