Chapter 1447 - 1437: It’s Time to Lay All the Cards on the Table!

Chapter 1447: Chapter 1437: It’s Time to Lay All the Cards on the Table!

She looked at him and asked the question she had hidden all night.

She was afraid that everything over the past two years was a huge lie, afraid that she was just a joke.

If loving a man meant losing her most important family member, she could never forgive herself.

Jiang Jingheng added a piece of spicy beef to her bowl and said, "This tastes good, try it."

Mu Yan stared at him, not speaking or picking up her chopsticks, and the atmosphere froze again.

She could feel that he was avoiding.

In the past, he would have pretended to be angry and then teased her.

Every second of the truth being revealed made her feel suffocated, and the fear in her heart grew stronger.

She lowered her head and continued eating.

No matter what, she still had to finish this meal. ℴ

With something on her mind, she wasn’t picky about the taste, eating everything, and soon the food in her bowl was finished.

It was Jiang Jingheng’s turn to watch her eat without picking up his chopsticks.

After that, neither of them spoke.

After dinner, they left the restaurant, and Jiang Jingheng suddenly asked her, "Would you like to take a walk to digest?"

Mu Yan glanced at him, turned, and walked along the road, and Jiang Jingheng immediately followed.

There were quite a few people around, some couples and some friends in small groups, chatting and laughing merrily, making Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng’s quietness appear somewhat eerie.

The night was deep, and the people on the roadside didn’t recognize them.

Suddenly, someone ran quickly toward Mu Yan, and just as she was about to move aside, she was pulled to the side, wrapped in a pair of arms that were warm and safe.

Mu Yan looked up to see Jiang Jingheng frowning in the direction the person left, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

He suddenly looked down at Mu Yan, his eyes full of concern, and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Mu Yan’s eyes flickered, she lowered her gaze, stepped out of his embrace, and said, "Didn’t I dodge? How could I feel uncomfortable."

Without waiting for him to speak, she walked forward.

Jiang Jingheng watched her back, a flash of worry passing through his light brown eyes.

After walking for a while, Jiang Jingheng suggested sending Mu Yan back to the hotel.

"It’s getting late, you should go back and rest early."

Mu Yan stopped, turned her head to look at him, and asked, "Have you had a lot on your mind lately?"

Jiang Jingheng looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you have something you want to say to me?"

"Have you ever lied to me?"

As they looked into each other’s eyes, it seemed as if everything around them had frozen, and neither spoke.

Finally, Mu Yan looked away, his silence saying it all.

She said, "Someone sent me a recording pen, and the content inside was unexpected; do you want to listen to it?"

Jiang Jingheng looked at her but remained silent.

Mu Yan, used to his silence, didn’t expect him to say anything, and took the recording pen out of her bag and handed it to him.

Jiang Jingheng didn’t move, so Mu Yan directly placed the recording pen in his hand.

She looked at him and said, "Listen to what’s inside."

Jiang Jingheng’s gaze moved from her to the recording pen in his hand, his expression unreadable.

He suddenly asked, "So this whole night you’ve been so cold to me just because of this recording pen?"

Mu Yan looked away elsewhere; if it were just a recording pen, she wouldn’t have lost control of her emotions like this, if this was the truth, then it was too cruel.

She really couldn’t pretend nothing had happened and then chat and laugh with him.

"It seems to be true, and I’m curious about what’s recorded inside," Jiang Jingheng said, turning on the switch.
