Chapter 1436: Missing You

Chapter 1436: Chapter 1436: Missing You

After a while, Kong Lizhen returned, and Jiang Wenhui saw the two of them off into the car.

Once in the car, Kong Lizhen turned back to glance at Jiang Wenhui standing there, and said, "Is she the daughter of your second aunt?"

Mu Yan followed her gaze and replied, "Yes, but her personality isn’t much like hers."

"That’s right, rather than saying your second aunt is cunning, it’s more like she’s simple-minded and self-righteous. If her child took after her, that would be disastrous," Kong Lizhen said indifferently.

Mu Yan sensed there was more to her words and asked, "Godmother, do you not like my older cousin?"

"It’s not about liking or disliking, after all, she lives outside my world. But, you must always be cautious and not trust others easily."

Mu Yan felt the words were somewhat familiar, as if she had heard them somewhere before. She nodded, "I understand."

"Don’t blame me for criticizing him. Knowing you were returning to the Jiang Family today, he used the excuse of working overtime not to come back. Clearly telling everyone that your relationship is not good, giving you no face. Are you still going to tolerate this?" Kong Lizhen looked at Mu Yan with a hint of exasperation.

Mu Yan pressed her lips together, said nothing, and turned to look out the window.

She originally wanted to take the opportunity of returning to the mansion today to have a good talk with Jiang Jingheng. She’s not a person who takes initiative, but for him, she wanted to try once. However, who knew he didn’t want to see her at all.

Now, everyone thinks there is a crisis in their relationship.

He used to dislike hearing words related to separation, so why is he acting this way now?

Is he really tired of her?

Seeing Mu Yan’s sadness, Kong Lizhen sighed and said no more, afraid of upsetting her.

However, unexpectedly, as the car arrived at the hotel and Mu Yan stepped out, she saw a familiar figure standing not far away.

She thought she had mistaken, blinked her eyes to focus her vision.

Why... why is he here?

Kong Lizhen noticed she wasn’t moving, turned back to speak, but sensed her unease and followed her gaze, her expression immediately darkening.

The lighting at the parking lot was somewhat dim, his black suit seemed to obscure him, making it hard to see his expression.

He just stood there, without saying or doing anything, yet somehow Mu Yan could feel all his attention was on her.

In her heart, she told herself not to pay attention to him, to turn and leave coolly in front of him to express her anger. But her feet felt as if they were filled with lead.

She couldn’t even bring herself to tear her gaze away from him.

That longing emotion surged in her heart, until she could no longer restrain herself and ran towards him, embracing him without hesitation.

She ran too fast, with such force, he took two steps back but still firmly held her waist.

Jiang Jingheng hugged her tightly, burying his head in her neck, closing his eyes, inhaling the intoxicating scent from her.

Heavens know how he has spent the past few days, countless times wanting to find her, disregarding everything.

"Didn’t you not want me anymore? Then why are you here? To watch me make a fool of myself? Look, you’ve won. I’m just so weak, even when you let me lose face and suffer suspicion, I still can’t help but miss you," Mu Yan whispered while holding him, accusing him. Towards the end, her tone was extremely aggrieved.

Jiang Jingheng held her tighter, kissed her hair, his husky voice came forth, "I miss you too, very much."
