A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1369: Emergency

Back at Mu Chen’s house, Mu Yan sorted through the things she’d brought back, keeping what needed to be kept and burning the rest.

It wasn’t too troublesome to handle these things; it took her no more than half an hour to tidy up.

Just then, Qin Xi sent her a WeChat message, inviting her out for a stroll.

Mu Yan knew she was worried she’d be stuck in her grief, so she wanted to accompany her.

Initially, she wanted to refuse, not wanting to waste her time, but Qin Xi was insistent, and she kind of forced her to go out.

Mu Yan thought about it and decided to agree since she had nothing else to do.

As she was about to exit WeChat, she saw that Song Cheng’an had previously sent her Xiao Nan’s address.

Perhaps, with Qin Xi there, it would be a good opportunity to go take a look.

She sent Qin Xi the address, and about half an hour later, Qin Xi arrived.

Heading out with Qin Xi, Mu Yan opted not to have the bodyguards follow them, to avoid drawing attention.

These days, since Mu Chen’s passing, she’d been frequently making headlines.

Quite a few netizens mocked her for not having a recent work yet frequently making headlines only because of her prestigious background and marriage into a wealthy family.

Some even questioned if she was riding on her brother’s death for fame; she didn’t want to engage with these trolls but also didn’t want them to use Mu Chen as a tool to stir trouble.

After explaining things to the bodyguards, Mu Yan got into Qin Xi’s car.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Qin Xi relaxed a little, saying, "A lot of autumn new arrivals have hit the stores, let’s go take a look. We wouldn’t want to be caught without clothes when the season changes."

There’s no way they’d be without clothes; that was just an excuse Qin Xi made up.

"Sure, let’s go shopping. I haven’t gone in a while," Mu Yan smiled.

At the mall, Qin Xi hooked her arm in Mu Yan’s as they walked in.

Though both were without makeup, their fame made it easy for them to be recognized instantly.

A few fans approached asking for autographs, but Qin Xi blocked them.

"No autographs today, we’re just out shopping."

A few female fans glanced at Mu Yan, apologized with a smile, and left.

Mu Yan said to Qin Xi, "I don’t mind."

"But I mind," Qin Xi raised her eyebrows, "We’re here to shop, not to hold a signing event. You can’t cater to everyone all the time; you need to learn to say no."

Mu Yan understood her good intentions and nodded, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

The two walked into the mall together, Qin Xi in a buying spree, found it more convenient to leave her purchases at the counter for her assistant to pick up later.

"Mu Yan, you should buy a few things too," Qin Xi urged her.

Mu Yan laughed, "It’s fine, I have quite a few outfits from last year that I haven’t worn yet."

"Didn’t we come to buy clothes?" Qin Xi frowned.

"Yes, I’ll go check out the men’s section in a bit," Mu Yan replied.

Qin Xi couldn’t help but tease, "You’re always thinking about your husband, Mu Xiaoyan, aren’t you?"

Mu Yan smiled silently, and they went to browse the men’s section together.

It was easy for Mu Yan to pick clothes for Jiang Jingheng; she quickly chose a few sets and bought them.

With nothing else to do, Qin Xi sat on the sofa, messaging on her phone.

Suddenly, she got a call and strode out angrily, looking extremely displeased.

Mu Yan watched her in confusion. What’s going on?

She paid the bill, left the items at the counter, and followed her out.

Qin Xi just hung up, looking upset, and was texting.

Mu Yan approached her and asked, "What happened?"

"Mu Yan, something’s come up back in my hometown; I might need to return there briefly."

"Is it serious?" Mu Yan asked quickly.

"No, just need me to handle it, don’t worry. I’ll take you home first," Qin Xi said.

"No need, you go take care of your stuff. I’ll just take a taxi back, besides, I have something to handle now too."

Seeing this, Qin Xi didn’t insist, "Alright then, take care on the road."
