After A Secret Marriage Agreement With A Rival Omega - Chapter 57

Chapter 57

◎ [You tapped the unperceptive fierce woman and heard: “Look up.”] ◎

Jian Jixing was not caught off guard by Sheng Ruxi’s closeness.

But she didn’t know how Sheng Ruxi was going to teach her.

The closer distance stirred more than just her heartbeat.

In her and Sheng Ruxi’s relationship, Sheng Ruxi had often been the dominant one since they returned from the pastoral area.

Jian Jixing said in a low voice: “Such as?”

Some things, even if you know they might happen, still require you to ask such a redundant question.

Jian Jixing wanted to give Sheng Ruxi some time to prepare, but then, she felt that softness pressing against her.

Although she had already leaned in for the kiss, Sheng Ruxi didn’t close her eyes.

Neither did Jian Jixing.

She saw the provocation and cunning in Sheng Ruxi’s eyes, like a playful little deer running in the forest, teasing the hunter who had come to capture it.

Jian Jixing was also looking at her, and she could even see the fine, soft hair on Sheng Ruxi’s face.

Teach her to be unreasonable?

Then she really wanted to be unreasonable just this once.

Jian Jixing reached out, pressed the back of Sheng Ruxi’s head, and deepened the kiss.

“Close your eyes.” Jian Jixing chuckled. Her hand held Sheng Ruxi’s soft nape. It felt like with a little more force, she could make her die in her hands. At this moment, Jian Jixing felt so clearly that Sheng Ruxi was a fragile omega, and she needed her protection.

Sheng Ruxi’s actions were still in her own style.

She didn’t listen at all when told to close her eyes. Instead, she blinked a few times. It seemed that she knew her eyelashes were long and used the tips of her lashes to lightly brush against Jian Jixing’s cheek, which was a form of teasing.

When Jian Jixing told her to close her eyes, she even opened her lips and bit Jian Jixing’s lower lip.

Jian Jixing: “…” This person is just uncomfortable all over if she’s not being difficult with me!

But she couldn’t get angry in this situation.

When Sheng Ruxi wanted to bite her a second time, Jian Jixing didn’t let her. She also didn’t let Sheng Ruxi close her lips again.

“…!”

The sudden intrusion left Sheng Ruxi dumbfounded. It seemed that this was the first time Jian Jixing had kissed her so forcefully. The spacious car interior now seemed cramped, not to mention the mountain-like woody sandalwood scent lingering in her nose.

Okay, Jian Jixing was a scheming person. She released her pheromones when she was letting her guard down, so how could she resist?

Her body started to soften when it came into contact with Jian Jixing’s pheromones, but Jian Jixing’s hands held her steady.

Even while kissing, the last bit of Sheng Ruxi’s consciousness was telling her that Jian Jixing’s hands, those unhealed wounds… she should make Jian Jixing go to the hospital for a check-up… She struggled to pull back.

But Jian Jixing still lightly pressed her head, not allowing her to retreat, and not allowing any doubt. She didn’t know where this forceful temper came from. In the pause between kisses, her voice was gentle: “It’s nothing. I can still use this much force.”

Sheng Ruxi could finally take a breath, her breathing ragged. Her eyes had become hazy and watery. She thought helplessly: How did Jian Jixing know what she was thinking? She didn’t say anything.

She no longer resisted and let Jian Jixing recklessly wrap her in her pheromones. She was a little infatuated as she grabbed Jian Jixing’s collar, putting all her strength into it.

The lighting in the underground parking lot was dim and created an ambiguous atmosphere. The shadows fell, covering her warm palm.

Sheng Ruxi couldn’t help but tremble. In her nervousness, she almost bit the tip of Jian Jixing’s tongue.

Jian Jixing finally let go of her, her low laughter falling into Sheng Ruxi’s ear. She opened her eyes, moved away, and finally created some distance between them. After glancing outside, she said:

“I was too unreasonable. I forgot this is still a hotel.” If there was a risk of being photographed, it was better not to take the risk.

Sheng Ruxi took a while to recover. The moisture in her eyes hadn’t completely dissipated. She stared at Jian Jixing. How could this person recover so quickly and become that lazy, yet calm and trustworthy person again?

Other than the smudged lipstick mark on the side of her mouth, it was impossible to tell what she had just done with her. She was so serious and proper.

Sheng Ruxi liked Jian Jixing’s dominance, but she didn’t like her seriousness. At this time, Jian Jixing seemed approachable, but she was like she was separated by a layer of fog.

There was distance.

Every time this happened, Sheng Ruxi loved to provoke Jian Jixing and break through all her disguises and masks.

She tried to hold back, but in the end, she couldn’t.

“Did you get so into it that you forgot everything else?” Sheng Ruxi fought back against Jian Jixing. She didn’t hold back her strength. She reached out, wiped the corner of Jian Jixing’s lips, and smeared away the smudged lipstick marks. “When you kissed me, I couldn’t tell at all that you’re usually so stubborn.”

“What flavor?” Jian Jixing suddenly asked. Her voice was full of laughter. She wasn’t in a hurry to get out of the car and was completely calm.

Sheng Ruxi pursed her lips and looked down. The sparkle on the pointed high heels she had taken off flashed in her eyes. She looked up and felt a little angry: “Why are you so flirty? Why are you asking about the flavor? Can’t you smell it yourself…?”

There were pheromones all over the car. What, couldn’t she smell them? At first, it was a more refreshing woody scent, but now there were bitter undertones and a burning heat.

She obviously wasn’t as calm as she appeared to be, so why was she acting so well?

Jian Jixing laughed and said: “What are you talking about? I was just thinking about how you always said my words were poisonous. Didn’t you also say before—”

“Jian Jixing, I’m afraid you’ll poison yourself to death.”

“So, how do you feel now?” Jian Jixing’s eyes looked at her, with an obvious hint of teasing. “What’s the flavor of the poison?”

She knew it!

She did it on purpose.

Sheng Ruxi reacted in an instant.

Jian Jixing was waiting for her to misunderstand and then ask the next question, which would make it seem like the person who was infatuated with the kiss was herself.

Asshole.

Sheng Ruxi lowered her head and put on her high heels. She only gave Jian Jixing a resentful look at the back of her head, didn’t even bother to buckle her shoes properly, slammed the car door, and left.

Jian Jixing followed her with her eyes, finding it interesting.

Sheng Ruxi didn’t look back.

Her dress clung to her back and curves. The high heels made her walk with a graceful sway.

Sheng Ruxi had a figure that was like a divine display of skill. She had always been confident, and the dresses she wore to events highlighted her figure. Her waist-to-hip ratio made her fans completely smitten.

She was also a beautiful sight to behold from the back.

Jian Jixing watched Sheng Ruxi until her figure disappeared.

Only then did Jian Jixing reach out and touch the corner of her lips that Sheng Ruxi had just touched. It was still hot.

Pheromones were proof of all infatuation and heart flutters.

…

After this fan meet, Jian Jixing and Sheng Ruxi did not leave Xicheng but went to the film and television city in the county.

When Jian Jixing sent a notification for Yang Chang to bring the others over, she received a notification from Zhou Mei, asking if she had gotten Sheng Ruxi’s schedule.

“I have,” Jian Jixing answered, but after a pause, she added, “It was something our team contacted and got.”

Zhou Mei couldn’t help but laugh, thinking why these two lovers were so distant. Sheng Ruxi’s schedule had changed. She knew that the little darling probably wouldn’t have the heart to tell Jian Jixing, so she came to be the peacemaker.

“Ruxi’s schedule has changed. She has a commercial shoot over there in a while, so she moved up the crew she had previously booked. She’s not the lead, but she’ll be working in the film and television city for about a month.”

Jian Jixing hadn’t heard Sheng Ruxi say anything about this. She had thought it was just a temporary notice: “What is she doing here for so long? Did she bring an assistant?”

The last time they went to the pastoral area, she didn’t even bring Tuanzi, and Sheng Ruxi suffered a lot at the beginning.

“She did,” Zhou Mei thought it over again and reminded her subtly over the phone, “I heard that Director Jian also had her team come over. You’re not going back so soon, are you?”

“It’ll be a while. We need to do some preliminary preparations… Is she here for this?”

Jian Jixing suddenly realized.

The theme and filming location of her new film were related to this place, so it was more appropriate to bring her team here to start the project. But this was only a rough idea. Sheng Ruxi had clearly said last time that she didn’t want to cooperate with her… Jian Jixing didn’t know that Sheng Ruxi was so contradictory.

So she still wanted to be the female lead.

Zhou Mei thought Jian Jixing’s words were a little strange, but she didn’t think much of it. How long had she been Sheng Ruxi’s manager? From college until now, it had been almost six years. Sheng Ruxi had always been strict with her work arrangements and wouldn’t delay work.

She had never changed her schedule like this before.

After all, wasn’t she staying in the same place as Jian Jixing while completing her own work? Zhou Mei had been with Sheng Ruxi for so long, how could she not see it—

Since they returned from filming the promotional video last time, there had been an indescribable feeling between Sheng Ruxi and Jian Jixing.

It was very ambiguous, but the two of them were still trying their best to restrain themselves and keep their distance.

Zhou Mei: “Yes. Can you take care of Ruxi a little more, Director Jian? Actually, she’s just a little stubborn and delicate, which is normal. She hasn’t suffered much…”

The suffering she could have had was all gone on Jian Jixing.

Jian Jixing accepted: “Of course.”

Even if Zhou Mei didn’t say these things, Sheng Ruxi would definitely come to her.

After Zhou Mei finished, she hung up the phone with satisfaction. Jian Jixing also found it funny. She and Sheng Ruxi were in a partner relationship, but in the eyes of the people they knew, it was still so impossible.

Since when did her hostile relationship with Sheng Ruxi end?

In the evening, the screenwriting team also arrived at the film and television city. Jian Jixing was very kind and didn’t make Yang Chang and the others talk about work that night.

With Qian Chunhe as her capable assistant, Jian Jixing was much more relaxed.

Jian Jixing held the several versions of the script that Yang Chang and Lin Qie had previously set, but she wasn’t satisfied with any of them.

She hadn’t found the theme she wanted to film the most.

Before, she had already tried niche art films and commercial films. This time, she wanted to continue her previous success and film another commercial film.

But Jian Jixing couldn’t bring herself to change those ideas. If she wanted to continue filming the commercial films she had filmed before, she would have to focus more on Yang Chang’s creative direction.

Jian Jixing looked at the vast grassland and sky on her computer screen, a little lost in thought.

The next day, Jian Jixing arrived at the studio area of the film and television city and went to several crews in a row.

She had an internal pass and was familiar with those directors, so she was free to come and go after saying hello. She wandered around for almost a day, watching what other people were filming.

She was dressed low-key and wore a baseball cap and a mask. As long as she didn’t take off her sunglasses, there was basically no risk of being recognized by others.

In the evening, Jian Jixing arrived near the resting area of Sheng Ruxi’s crew just in time.

In a modern romance drama, Sheng Ruxi played the female lead’s older sister. She was a pampered rich girl who seemed mean to her sister but was actually cold on the outside and soft on the inside.

She didn’t have many scenes and could finish in about two days. This was not difficult for Sheng Ruxi. For her, the word “pampered” was a natural act.

It was also her face, which made it impossible for anyone to get angry, that made the audience highly accepting.

Who knew that after the shoot, Sheng Ruxi didn’t go back to her RV but was sitting on a rest chair, eating a bento box with the other main actors of the crew.

However, her star power was also evident.

Even the male and female leads only had one assistant with them, but Sheng Ruxi had a large entourage. In addition to Tuanzi bustling back and forth, there were three or four other staff members asking her something. Sheng Ruxi’s expression was impatient, and her soft, white fingers were pinching the space between her eyebrows. She was probably tired.

Even the director would walk over from time to time to ask, afraid of neglecting the little empress.

When Sheng Ruxi was filming, as long as the camera was on her, the speed and effect of her work were obvious. Her own scenes were all done in one take, which directly boosted the progress of the entire crew.

No one dared to mess up their lines when acting with Sheng Ruxi, so as not to make the little empress unhappy.

Because Sheng Ruxi was there for the past two days, the quality of the food in the crew had improved a lot. Sheng Ruxi knew she couldn’t eat much. She sat lazily in her chair, and her voice was like a whine: “Get me a cooler glass of water.”

Tuanzi brought it as she was told. Sheng Ruxi drank two sips and then said: “Get me an iced coffee.”

The word “coffee” meant an inhibitor to Sheng Ruxi. Tuanzi was startled: “Coffee? No, that will affect your sleep at night.”

Sheng Ruxi grunted unhappily twice. Her slender, white legs extended from under her skirt. She still had a night shoot, and even if she drank coffee, she could fall asleep the moment she finished work.

She took out her phone and swiped it casually. She didn’t see a single message she wanted to see, which made her even angrier.

What was Jian Jixing doing? But if she asked actively now, it would seem like she had lost to this person, as if she missed her so much.

Sheng Ruxi knew that Jian Jixing was also in the film and television city. They were in the same place, so why was she so unperceptive? Why didn’t she come visit?

In her anger, Sheng Ruxi could only tap on her phone and furiously changed Jian Jixing’s contact name to: [Unperceptive fierce woman].

She looked up and said: “I want to drink coffee. Now, immediately.”

This meant that if she didn’t get it, she would throw a tantrum. Tuanzi’s heart skipped a beat. When they left, Zhou Mei had specifically told her that if Sheng Ruxi insisted on drinking coffee and she couldn’t stop her, it meant they needed Jian Jixing.

Director Jian. Where was she?

To prevent herself from misunderstanding, Tuanzi lowered her head and asked: “Do you really need it?”

It was so frustrating. Why did she have to keep asking about a cup of coffee for so long? Sheng Ruxi rubbed Tuanzi’s face like she was kneading dough: “Yes, of course, yes. Why do you keep asking?”

Tuanzi: “O-okay.”

Jian Jixing had been watching quietly from the side, holding her phone and taking a few pictures of Sheng Ruxi’s moments.

Someone saw her and wanted to stop her from taking photos. Jian Jixing pulled down her mask. The staff member was startled and immediately apologized and left.

Although she was standing far away, she couldn’t hear what Sheng Ruxi and the people around her were saying. But Jian Jixing could vaguely guess.

Coffee? Iced?

There was a place selling coffee not far away. Jian Jixing went to get one and then sent a message to Sheng Ruxi: [What are you doing?]

This time, Jian Jixing was not far away and could see Sheng Ruxi’s expression. The moment her phone vibrated, her eyes visibly lit up.

But soon, she held back the corners of her lips that were about to curl up, looking very much like a little cat that had gotten its way.

Then, she frowned slightly and snorted, angry that Jian Jixing didn’t know her schedule.

Her expressions were so vivid and rich that Jian Jixing could easily guess all of Sheng Ruxi’s thoughts.

Soon, Jian Jixing received a reply from Sheng Ruxi: [Busy, do not disturb.]

So she spent all that time editing it just to come up with these four words? Jian Jixing stared at Sheng Ruxi and replied: [So busy? Then I won’t disturb you.]

Little Green Bean: [Why are you so ridiculous? You’ve already disturbed me, so just finish what you have to say!]

Little Green Bean: [Hey!]

Just as Jian Jixing felt her phone vibrate, she was already about to walk behind Sheng Ruxi.

After Sheng Ruxi angrily sent the message, she furiously tapped on Jian Jixing’s profile picture, only to see the content of the chat box:

[You tapped the unperceptive fierce woman and heard: “Look up.”]
