Full Marks Hidden Marriage: Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband - Chapter 722

Chapter 722
Jiang Muye, who had just woken up, frowned at Ling Zhizhi standing beside his bed . "Why . . . are you here? I was wondering who was it that woke me up this way…"
Jiang Muye was once the hottest star in the industry . His strongest rival was Shen Xiaobai and they were often compared to each other . The last thing he wanted to hear was someone saying that Shen Xiaobai looked better than him . Even the slightest whisper of such a thing would wake him up from his dreams . Despite Shen Xiaobai retiring, he was still paranoid .
"Bro Ming has been looking for you since yesterday morning . It’s roughly an hour before the signing ceremony and we’re very far away from the venue . Assuming that traffic is clear today, you’ll only have about half an hour left to make it," Ling Zhizhi told him urgently .
"Oh, so what now?" Jiang Muye lay back on his bed, showing no signs of leaving .
"Bro Ming has been busy liaising for this event for the past three months . He's so worked up that he even passed out in my office just now . "
"And?"
Ling Zhizhi was not fazed by Jiang Muye’s annoying attitude . Had it been the old her, she would have yelled at him and cried tears of frustration already .
Suddenly, Jiang Muye’s phone rang .
"Hello, Brother Muye! Why did you leave early last night? We’re going out on the water today . Do you want to join us?" sang a girl’s voice over the phone .
Jiang Muye replied with a lazy tone, "Alright, I’ll be there in an hour!"
He then started preparing himself .
Ling Zhizhi looked at Jiang Muye, reminded of her past days…
He had been like that in the past -- selfish and arrogant, self-centered and disregarding everyone . What could have happened to make him act this way again?
Jiang Muye was about to leave, but he stopped in his tracks .


Ling Zhizhi had taken out her phone to call Ning Xi . "Hey, Ning Xi…"
Jiang Muye’s expression changed when he heard Ning Xi’s name . Without further thought, he grabbed Ling Zhizhi’s phone and ended the call . "Ling Zhizhi, what are you doing?"

Ling Zhizhi glared at him straight in the eye . "I’m asking her if Bro Ming has woken up . "
"What?"
"What did you think I was trying to do?"
Jiang Muye’s expression darkened and he returned her phone to her begrudgingly . "I thought you were calling her to come over! What else could I have thought?"


Ling Zhizhi remained silent and looked at him solemnly .
"What are you staring at?" Jiang Muye feeling the heebie-jeebies from her intense gaze .
"Jiang Muye, attend the signage ceremony now . "
Jiang Muye laughed at her . "Getting braver now, aren’t you? You dare to order me around?"
"If not, I’ll tell Ning Xi that you like her . "
"What?!" Jiang Muye’s eyes widened in aghast . "How dare you, Ling Zhizhi!"
Ling Zhizhi maintained her steady expression on him .


Jiang Muye felt like he had been tricked, so he quickly denied, "Are you dumb? Whoever said that I liked her?"
"I heard it when you were talking in your sleep . "
Blood rushed to Jiang Muye's feet and he feebly stammered, "You . . . you’re lying, aren’t you?"
"I recorded it . "
"How despicable, Ling Zhizhi!" Jiang Muye quickly grabbed her phone to destroy the incriminating evidence .
Much to his horror, Ling Zhizhi had already pressed the "send" button . Nonchalantly, she told him, "Actually, you didn’t say anything in your sleep, but I’ve recorded down our conversation and sent it to my own email . It’s futile to delete it from my phone now . "
Although Jiang Muye had not explicitly mentioned his liking towards Ning Xi, his reaction had basically given him away .
