After A Secret Marriage Agreement With A Rival Omega - Chapter 66

Chapter 66

◎ “Do you like me or not?” ◎

Jian Jixing still had a meeting to attend the next day. She opened her eyes before her phone alarm even rang.

The person next to her was still in a deep sleep.

All night long, Sheng Ruxi’s sleeping posture was not very honest. Every time she turned over, her arm would land on Jian Jixing’s face.

Jian Jixing was vaguely aware of it but didn’t feel the usual frustration of being disturbed. When Sheng Ruxi came close again, she would accurately pull Sheng Ruxi into her arms.

So, all night, she never changed her sleeping position or location, making it easy for Sheng Ruxi to find her at any time.

Her schedule for these two days was indeed too tight. She was going to the capital for a meeting today and had to review the new proposals from her company’s team, including some post-production film reviews. She was already this busy, and Jian Jixing had originally planned to stay there for a few days after the meeting. However, after last night, she changed her mind.

She would go early today, finish her work, and then come back. There was no doubt that after the eventful night, Sheng Ruxi would also sleep in very late today.

She should have enough time.

Overnight, the pheromones in the room had been cleaned up very well, leaving only a faint scent of perfume.

Jian Jixing turned her head and gently brushed the hair that was scattered on Sheng Ruxi’s face and eyelids behind her ear. After confirming that Sheng Ruxi was no longer affected by the alcohol, she re-wrapped the pajamas that were about to fall off and got out of bed.

She contacted Manwen on her phone and told her not to disturb Sheng Ruxi before 2 p.m. and to make sure Sheng Ruxi was properly dressed before entering.

This look was not for anyone to see.

After thinking about it, she tore off a note from the bedside table, informing Sheng Ruxi to remember to change her clothes before opening the door.

After doing all this, Jian Jixing stood by the bed and looked down at Sheng Ruxi’s sleeping face.

Sheng Ruxi was fast asleep, her breathing was calm and long. Jian Jixing’s gaze stayed on her lips and the slight curve of them.

Sheng Ruxi’s beautiful dream was still continuing, and so was hers.

After looking for a while, just before her alarm was about to go off, Jian Jixing finally left the room.

She took the elevator downstairs. Gu Shengci, who was yawning a lot, was already waiting for her on the sofa in the lobby. She was looking a little worn out and handed Jian Jixing a cup of iced coffee. The lack of sleep last night made Gu Shengci’s voice sound particularly weak: “You’re a god…”

Gu Shengci heard that Sheng Ruxi was drunk last night. No wonder Jian Jixing left the dinner party so abruptly. It went without saying that taking care of a drunk person was not a good job, not to mention that even Manwen came out. Wasn’t Sheng Ruxi throwing her drunken tantrums all on Jian Jixing?

And yet, when Jian Jixing showed up today, she didn’t look tired at all. She was still so elegant and calm, and her eyes were even shining.

And this was even after she left two hours early—

Ah, Gu Shengci really wanted to fight these people. Was this the difference between having a wife and not having a wife?

“Drinking something so cold early in the morning?” Jian Jixing took the coffee. “You really don’t care about your life.”

“…?” Gu Shengci almost thought Jian Jixing had been possessed. How could she, a person who used to not take care of herself, have the nerve to say that?

If you cared about your life, you wouldn’t be working nonstop like this, okay?

In the end, she just followed Jian Jixing and got into the car to the airport. She said sullenly: “It’s amazing to have a wife.”

…

Lunchtime had already passed. Sheng Ruxi turned over. Because the curtains were slightly parted, she had been woken up by the sunlight. But she didn’t want to get up at all. She lay in bed with her eyes closed and rolled around for a long time.

She felt that her arms and legs were weak, as if she had suddenly grown a lazy bone. It wasn’t until she felt that there was no warmth beside her that she found it strange…

It wasn’t like this last night. She knew Jian Jixing was here and had hugged her to sleep.

It was very comfortable and soft.

“Hiss…” Sheng Ruxi finally managed to open her eyes. She looked at the pillow next to her blankly. There were wrinkles in the middle of the pillow. Her feeling was not wrong. She had slept with Jian Jixing last night.

There was no scent of pheromones.

Looking at the carpet and the sofa, there were no messy clothes or a ravaged look at all.

Even the bottle of wine she had drunk was gone!

She sat up, wanting to recall more details from last night. But the more she thought, the more her head, which wasn’t hurting before, began to swell and ache.

Oh no, she had never had a memory blackout before. Did she really get that drunk last night?

She looked down and saw that the belt at her waist was loose. It was just right, not too tight so she could sleep comfortably, but not so loose that her pajamas would fall off and expose her.

It was self-evident who had done it for her.

Ahhh—

Sheng Ruxi was about to call Manwen on the room phone when it rang on its own. Sheng Ruxi said urgently: “Manwen! Manwen, did you come to my room?”

Manwen was a little surprised. She didn’t expect Director Jian to have guessed Sheng Ruxi’s waking time so accurately: “Miss Sheng, I’m at the door.”

“Come in quickly. I’ll open the door for you.” Sheng Ruxi said and was about to get out of bed.

“No, please wait! You… Please go and change your clothes first. There’s no rush,” Manwen’s tone was tactful.

Sheng Ruxi lowered her head and blinked at the high slit on her pajamas. She then turned her head and saw the note on the bedside table, with her phone on top of it.

She would never mistake Jian Jixing’s handwriting.

The call hadn’t been disconnected yet. Manwen heard Sheng Ruxi’s silence for a long time and then tried to say: “Miss Sheng, you drank mixed drinks last night and were very drunk. Do you remember? Director Jian told me before she left not to come in early.”

“Director Jian is very good to you. She didn’t let me in. Everything inside was tidied up by herself. I’ve never seen her do these things before.”

Sheng Ruxi’s vision went black. She almost fell over.

Jian Jixing tidied it up. Everything was tidied up by Jian Jixing.

When she gets drunk, she loves to provoke people. She also loves to talk nonsense.

Jian Jixing would always accept the challenge whenever she was provoked. So—

Did they already do it, and then Jian Jixing cleaned up afterward?

Sheng Ruxi hung up the phone and ran to change her clothes, her face burning. She took off her clothes and turned around in the mirror, confirming that she was still flawless and had no red marks.

Even her gland didn’t hurt.

Did Jian Jixing not do anything at all?

No, this was very wrong.

Even if Jian Jixing could hold back from doing anything, what about her, facing Jian Jixing, and being drunk… Sheng Ruxi picked up the note Jian Jixing left behind. Her hand was slightly stiff.

Jian Jixing’s handwriting was very beautiful, but these two lines of text, when she got to “put your clothes on properly,” were written in a sharp and hurried cursive, as if you could see her helplessness at the time, and a little bit of anger.

It’s over.

Sheng Ruxi knew herself well. Her and Jian Jixing’s pheromones were so compatible. The physical attraction was especially strong.

Although after being marked by Jian Jixing multiple times, Sheng Ruxi’s craving for marking and physical contact had improved a lot, her desire for Jian Jixing, once it started, never faded.

Sheng Ruxi wanted to cry. How could she not remember? Even if she took advantage of Jian Jixing, how could she not remember any of the pleasure from it?

It was all for nothing. If Jian Jixing found out about her appearance, she would never be able to take advantage of her again.

Sheng Ruxi chose a set of clothes that covered her completely. For the first time, she opened the door with messy hair, but she was still wearing an eye mask. She must have cried for a long time last night. She felt that her eyes and face were swollen. Her image must have been ruined.

Manwen didn’t think so. She just felt that a beautiful celebrity had appeared in front of her with such a stunning face without makeup. She pushed the food cart behind her inside and smiled: “Miss Sheng, please have your meal. There is no alcohol.”

Ah—God, she had to remind her that she was drunk last night. Luckily, Sheng Ruxi was a great actress and didn’t blush at this moment.

The food was rich and varied. They were all her favorite flavors and types, and they met the requirements for the first meal: low-fat and light.

And it was still hot.

Sheng Ruxi looked over slowly. For some reason, when she saw the fork, the memory of biting the back of Jian Jixing’s neck abruptly came into her mind.

So Manwen saw the beautiful celebrity in front of her holding her head and wanting to pull her hair out. She then remembered that she had a face mask and an eye mask on and could only desperately hold back, finally letting out a few whimpers from her throat.

“Miss Sheng, you…” Didn’t she take a hangover pill last night? Is she still not sober after so long? Manwen felt that she had to cross off the two kinds of alcohol from last night’s menu.

Why did she bite Jian Jixing’s neck? The last time she bit Jian Jixing’s neck was during… that kind of thing where she would deliberately say things to provoke her.

Did she mention Wu Wu again? No alpha would like to hear another alpha’s name at that time.

Did she say that she called Chu Wu more than once to find out about Jian Jixing? She better not have! Would she be able to save face in the future?

Sheng Ruxi felt that it would have been better if she had a complete blackout. Why did she have to recall these fragments little by little, like opening a blind box?

She glanced at her phone. The message box from Jian Jixing had no activity. She didn’t know when Jian Jixing left. But Sheng Ruxi remembered that Jian Jixing had a meeting to go to today.

Jian Jixing was busy and didn’t have time. That was perfect—

“Miss Sheng, don’t you want to eat something? Director Jian told me to bring these for you.”

Sheng Ruxi chewed obediently, not caring what the food tasted like. Her mind was racing.

Zhou Mei didn’t contact her, which meant that the things on the hot search had definitely been handled. Sheng Ruxi could be sure that she probably didn’t have to film that scene for Han Han’s crew anymore.

This was still Jian Jixing’s suite, and Manwen was Jian Jixing’s housekeeper. She would tell Jian Jixing everything about her situation. Sheng Ruxi tried to keep a calm expression, but in reality, she was plotting—

Leave first. Go abroad. Or maybe go to Wu Wu’s place? It was too embarrassing. Until she remembered everything from last night’s drunkenness, she couldn’t face Jian Jixing.

She swallowed the food and thought for a moment before saying: “Manwen, I have to go. My manager will come to pick me up in a bit. I have to go back and handle… um, yesterday’s matter.”

“Are you talking about the crew’s matter?” Manwen’s face had a fitting smile. “You don’t have to worry about that. Director Jian already clarified it this morning. You didn’t know?”

How would she know… What, what?!

Sheng Ruxi suddenly put down her knife and fork.

When she woke up, she was so shocked by what Jian Jixing wrote that she only checked her chat with Jian Jixing after her screen lit up. She hadn’t bothered to check other messages or log into social media platforms yet.

As if sensing something, her phone finally started to buzz non-stop. Zhou Mei had sent her several messages in a row.

[You’re awake, right? Han Han’s side voluntarily compensated us for the loss. If you don’t want to film, we don’t have to.]

[Yu Qinglan’s side originally wanted to mislead fans into thinking that it was your pheromones that caused her to lose control, but guess what? This morning, Director Jian directly clarified it on her main account! Now you two really have a fan club.]

Immediately after, Yan Fuzheng’s message also popped up: [How did you get Jian Jixing to do that? What’s the difference between this and her admitting to fans that she likes you, ahh! The fan accounts on your super topic page have changed their names to have a pink suffix!!]

Sheng Ruxi’s hands trembled.

She remembered again… Did she say something to Jian Jixing last night? It seemed like she was blaming Jian Jixing for not comforting the fans with her.

She quickly went to her super topic page.

There, a post personally made by Jian Jixing was pinned at the top.

[Jian Jixing V: Thank you for your concern. Sheng Ruxi is fine. She should sleep for a long time. It’s not what everyone misunderstood. She and Yu Qinglan are just colleagues.]

[?]

[What in the world? Is that Director Jian? Is it Director Jian herself? Director Jian?!]

[We don’t care about the relationship between you and Yu Qinglan. We care more about what the relationship is between our beloved Xixi and you now /finger-to-finger.jpg]

[Director Jian, come back and say more! Weren’t you two supposed to be sworn enemies? Don’t you want Professor Chu anymore?]

[Unlocked pink fan tag. Becoming the first batch of fan club members now.]

[@JianJixingV Director Jian, when are you two getting married?]

[Oh my God, what did they do last night? Is that why our beloved Xixi has to sleep for a long time? I haven’t seen Xixi online yet!]

With this one post from Jian Jixing, it not only went viral but also made all the fans focus on Sheng Ruxi and Jian Jixing. Yu Qinglan didn’t get any attention at all.

Afterward, Han Han also posted a statement of contract termination and an apology to Yu Qinglan. Zhou Mei reposted it at the same time, stating that Sheng Ruxi was just resting after her pheromones fluctuated, but the fans didn’t listen at all.

Sheng Ruxi’s vision went black again. She and Jian Jixing had said that their lives would not interfere with each other, especially in the entertainment industry. It would be better if there was no entanglement at all.

Wait a minute.

Did she ask an even more outrageous question?

After the words “Do you like me or not” popped into her head, Sheng Ruxi couldn’t eat anymore. She stood up abruptly, randomly stuffed a few sets of clothes into a suitcase, grabbed a baseball cap, and was about to rush out.

A figure appeared at the door and reached out to grab the handle of her suitcase. The gaze swept over her: “Where are you going?”
