Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437: Explanation

Not far away, Kong Lizhen watched the way the two of them were so wrapped up in each other, and her brows knit tightly.

Since He knew to come find She, why had He been ignoring She these past few days?

Was it because He had a guilty conscience, or was it because She was getting old and no longer understood the feelings between young people?

Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was Kong Yanzi calling.

She glanced at Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng, then walked off in the opposite direction from them as She answered the call.

"There’s movement? So fast? Okay, have them keep a close watch."

"Mm, we’ve already returned to the hotel. Jiang Jingheng came over, they’re talking."

Nobody knew how long had passed before Jiang Jingheng finally let go of Mu Yan. Seeing her eyes shimmering with tears, He lowered His head and kissed her eyelids, saying, "Be good, don’t cry. I was wrong."

Mu Yan heard Him say that and glared at Him, disgruntled. "How could You be wrong? I’m the one who’s wrong, I’m the one being dramatic. Anyway, just stop paying attention to Me."

As She spoke, She turned, intending to leave.

There was no way Jiang Jingheng could tolerate her disappearing from His sight again. He grabbed onto her and refused to let go.

"Let go of Me!" Mu Yan said unhappily.

"I’m not letting go." Jiang Jingheng’s attitude was resolute, and the strength of His grip didn’t ease in the slightest.

Mu Yan gave a little snort. "You already have another woman, so what are You doing bothering Me?"

"There is no other woman." Jiang Jingheng said helplessly.

Mu Yan wanted to say more, but the moment She saw the bloodshot redness in His eyes and the exhaustion in His expression, Her heart hurt for Him.

She raised a hand to gently caress His cheek and asked, "Have You been really busy lately?"

As soon as She finished, She couldn’t help cursing Herself inside. Things still weren’t cleared up, so how had She ended up worrying about Him instead?

"Not busy, I just miss You." Jiang Jingheng replied.

If it had been before, hearing that, Mu Yan would have felt like She’d just eaten honey. But now, His actions didn’t resemble someone who couldn’t bear to be apart from Her at all.

She’d suffered before from things being hidden from Her; at one point, under the banner of "it’s for His own good," She’d wanted to leave Him.

Now, She chose to lay it all out.

"If You miss Me, then why haven’t You contacted Me at all these days? Aren’t You afraid I’ll run into danger? You never used to be like this. No matter where I went, You were uneasy and had to follow. Tell Me, are You tired of Me?"

Seeing her on the verge of tears again, wronged and upset, Jiang Jingheng hurried to say, "I’m not tired of You. I wish You could be by My side every day."

"Liar."

"No, I’m not lying to You." Jiang Jingheng cupped her face and spoke gently. "I know I shouldn’t have gone silent on You, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know what You’ve been doing these past two days. I also know Godmother will definitely take good care of You."

Mu Yan suddenly remembered Him having people tail Her. Before, She’d felt a bit uncomfortable about it, but now it didn’t seem so hard to accept. At least it proved that this man really cared about Her.

She felt something was off and asked tentatively, "Did something happen?"

"No." Jiang Jingheng lifted His hand and tapped Her nose. "Don’t let Your imagination run wild."

"Then be honest with Me: what exactly is Your relationship with that Song Yan?" Mu Yan said, displeased. "Don’t You dare dodge the question. Explain it clearly, or I won’t let this go."

"I don’t know her. What the media reported is completely fabricated." Jiang Jingheng caught her hand, kissed it, and chuckled softly. "Mrs. Jiang doesn’t trust Her own husband that much?"

Mu Yan curled Her lips and muttered under Her breath, "Then You suddenly go radio silent on Me like You’ve got a guilty conscience. Am I not allowed to fill in the blanks in My head a little?"

She asked again, "And another thing—explain to Me why You had Her replace Me as the female lead in the movie?"
