After A Secret Marriage Agreement With A Rival Omega - Chapter 71

Chapter 71

◎ “Bite me to death.” ◎

If Sheng Ruxi hadn’t misheard, she thought Jian Jixing was saying sweet nothings to her.

She held the flowers and sat in the passenger seat. There were no other scents in the car. All she smelled was the fresh scent of roses, which was slightly sweet.

She had to admit that when it came to making her happy, Jian Jixing was as clever as she was when they were arguing, and she was even harder to resist.

Her temper subsided. Sheng Ruxi pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and didn’t say anything.

Jian Jixing started the car and drove Sheng Ruxi to their destination. The restaurant wasn’t far and was very private. From the moment they got to the underground garage, someone guided them, and when they saw Sheng Ruxi and Jian Jixing get out, they were professional and didn’t even look at them.

Because they were going to eat, Sheng Ruxi left the flowers in the car but took the gift box that hadn’t been opened yet. It was small, and she guessed it was either a ring or a necklace.

She was never short of jewelry, but who didn’t like new things? In the morning, Jian Jixing had Manwen bring over a jewelry designer. Sheng Ruxi couldn’t choose, so she simply took all the latest haute couture pieces.

But the gifts piled up with money were not as pleasing as the one Jian Jixing had personally chosen. So Sheng Ruxi preferred the one Jian Jixing had personally brought.

“If you told me that you came to have dinner with me in the middle of being very busy, I would be happier,” Sheng Ruxi said. “Where did you learn to say things like ‘blind box’?”

“I really didn’t learn it. Otherwise, I would have said it the way you wanted me to,” Jian Jixing said, and she thoughtfully pulled out the chair for Sheng Ruxi. “Do you really think it’s better for us to argue?”

Sheng Ruxi said honestly: “Because when you talk to me nicely, I always feel like it’s not real.” It was a beautiful feeling, like a dream, but also a fantasy. She was afraid that they were just colorful bubbles that would easily burst.

Jian Jixing: “Maybe arguing isn’t so bad after all,” She would take it as a form of flirtation.

Sheng Ruxi glared at her again. Jian Jixing looked innocent as she sat down across from her: “I said I’d argue with you, and now you’re not happy about it.”

“You’re still so good with your words,” Sheng Ruxi wrinkled her nose at her. “Never mind the flowers, why did you bring this to give to me? What is it?”

“This is for your little temper… an outer layer?” Jian Jixing said. “Open it and take a look.”

She didn’t bring up the topic of the bed scene and her words became more gradual. Although she still wanted to tease Sheng Ruxi, she wanted this dear little one to eat dinner peacefully and not affect her appetite.

Sheng Ruxi opened the box. Inside was a ring. Three square aquamarine diamonds were arranged on the ring setting, and light blue small diamonds were wrapped around the outside, sparkling under the light.

Sheng Ruxi was never short of rings, but she had never seen this kind of design before. It was obviously custom-made.

When Sheng Ruxi saw something she liked, the expression on her face was very obvious and unmasked. This greatly pleased the gift giver.

Even though the dear little one’s mouth was still sharp: “You think if you give me a gift, I’ll… Hmm, what’s this called?”

“Gypsophila,” Jian Jixing curled her lips, her tone restrained and light. “I’m putting the galaxy in your hand.”

Sheng Ruxi was in a trance. She didn’t know if Jian Jixing was here to discuss the bed scene with her or to flirt with her.

She couldn’t help but sigh that Jian Jixing was good at setting traps. She was falling deeper and deeper, making her almost forget that she originally wanted to find Jian Jixing to demand an explanation for why she seemed so experienced.

But Jian Jixing always easily led her astray.

She was so good at giving gifts, too.

How could Sheng Ruxi not understand what Jian Jixing meant?

She had said that Jian Jixing was the morning star tonight, and now she was giving her a ring with the meaning of a star. This was an apology with a special meaning.

It would be great if she could really put Jian Jixing in the ring and take her with her—Sheng Ruxi’s eyes curved. She naturally put the ring on her ring finger.

When she and Jian Jixing registered their marriage, the wedding rings were decided by their families. The two of them rarely wore them, and the meaning was different.

The ring was extremely beautiful, but when she put it on, she found that the size didn’t fit perfectly.

She immediately looked up.

“It’s the size for your index finger,” Jian Jixing explained calmly. “It should be a good fit.”

How could it be for the ring finger? Sheng Ruxi realized she had overthrown it. She thought that since Jian Jixing was giving her such an expensive ring, it should be for the ring finger by default.

After taking it off, Sheng Ruxi didn’t put it on her index finger. Instead, she put it back into the box.

“You don’t like it?”

“No, I just feel like I overthought it,” Sheng Ruxi lowered her eyes to look at her empty index finger. The size was indeed a match. She looked up and smiled, “You’re very good at coaxing people.”

Although Jian Jixing was a little confused, she could hear the unhappiness in Sheng Ruxi’s tone.

She was so happy when she first got the ring. How was she not happy all of a sudden?

“Not really,” Jian Jixing said. “If I were really good at it, you wouldn’t be like this right now.”

The food they ordered was served. Sheng Ruxi only slightly raised her eyebrows and didn’t answer Jian Jixing’s question.

After a while, Jian Jixing didn’t get a word out of her. Although the way Sheng Ruxi ate was beautiful, Jian Jixing always felt a little uncomfortable when she was silent.

Jian Jixing had never thought that there would be a day when she would rack her brain just to get Sheng Ruxi to say something, even if it was to scold her.

“Here,” Sheng Ruxi pushed the box back. “Didn’t you already give me so much today? Those are enough. I don’t want to accept this.”

Jian Jixing: “…”

She said again: “What are you unhappy about? I’d rather you just argue with me than be like this.”

Sheng Ruxi brought up the bed scene again at this time: “I watched a lot of your movies this afternoon. Why don’t you answer my question first? How are you so good at filming them?”

The indoor lighting was carefully arranged, soft and bright. Outside the clear glass window, the distinct night looked like a pile of colorful glass beads scattered in the air, reflecting various colors of light.

Those lights fell into Sheng Ruxi’s eyes. It was the first time Jian Jixing felt that the lights of ten thousand homes had warmth.

This person’s words and actions were awkward, but her eyes would not lie.

With Sheng Ruxi, Jian Jixing learned a very important lesson: the eyes can be deceiving. Many truths and important things need to be seen with the heart to be seen clearly.

So Jian Jixing was not angry.

She took back the gift that Sheng Ruxi didn’t accept and handed it to a staff member. Her tone remained unchanged: “I may not have eaten pork, but I’ve seen pigs run.”

When she was learning to film, erotica was also one of the learning materials, but Jian Jixing treated it with a completely learning mindset.

The words were crude but the truth was not. Sheng Ruxi just glanced at the gift box that was being taken away by the assistant-like person and asked: “Is that so? But you’re very good at it.”

Jian Jixing was speechless for a moment. She felt that if she didn’t answer this question well, it would be very dangerous.

Her silence made Sheng Ruxi continue to press: “So how did you learn?”

Some things were self-taught. If it were in the past, Jian Jixing could have said that directly.

But on this night, the topic being said between them face to face added a subtle, indescribable feeling. Jian Jixing lowered her eyes: “What if I said, you… taught me?”

“What?”

Sheng Ruxi thought she had misheard.

Jian Jixing seemed to have found her home ground again at this moment. She looked at Sheng Ruxi and said with a half-smile: “You taught me when you were drunk.”

From the first time she stumbled into the room, the kiss on the collar, to the warm breath that brushed against her neck, and even the gentle bites of a little cat showing its claws, many times, Jian Jixing was Sheng Ruxi’s student.

Sheng Ruxi: “…”

“Don’t say things like that when I’m sober. I won’t fall for it,” Sheng Ruxi’s heart tightened under Jian Jixing’s gaze. “What did I do?”

“You don’t remember what you did at night, right? Then I’ll help you remember,” Thankfully the lighting was just right, allowing Jian Jixing to see Sheng Ruxi’s earlobes beginning to turn red. “You bit me. You bit me right here.”

Jian Jixing parted her hair a little and curled her jade-like finger to point at a spot on her skin. “You said you would bite me to death.”

This scene never appeared in Sheng Ruxi’s mind, but Jian Jixing’s serious and solemn look didn’t seem like she was joking. Sheng Ruxi’s face turned completely red.

She didn’t understand—if this really happened, then why did nothing happen between them? Was she that unattractive to Jian Jixing?

When Sheng Ruxi spoke again, she was gritting her teeth: “So what? You didn’t do anything.”

Jian Jixing: “…” For a moment, she wanted to ask directly if she should have done something, but her intuition told her that if she really said that, Sheng Ruxi would probably be like a balloon pricked by a needle.

It would burst with a bang.

After much thought, Jian Jixing narrowed her eyes: “You were drunk at the time.”

She was drunk, but she could smell Jian Jixing’s pheromones and knew who the person in front of her was. Otherwise, she would have slapped her long ago.

Sheng Ruxi was even angrier: “I wasn’t drunk!”

Jian Jixing understood that a drunk person would never admit they were drunk. She smiled good-naturedly, accepting all of Sheng Ruxi’s temper, and explained: “I just didn’t want to take advantage of you.”

Sheng Ruxi felt like she had just slapped a piece of cotton. She seemed to be no match for Jian Jixing at all.

She wanted to ask Jian Jixing why she didn’t do anything to her.

She also wanted to ask Jian Jixing, who was so good at filming bed scenes, why she could be so self-disciplined and restrain her nature, and not let anything happen.

Why did she drink! Besides speaking her mind, wasn’t it because she wanted something intimate to happen?!

She also wanted to know… attraction, yes, attraction. Her attraction. Shouldn’t Jian Jixing know what to do next with just one look from her?

Unfortunately, all of her hints were taken as anger by Jian Jixing.

“Did I really… bite you?” Sheng Ruxi had no choice but to use her acting skills. Her eyes flickered, showing a little disbelief and grievance.

She really did bite her.

Jian Jixing also knew Sheng Ruxi was acting, but when she acted, Jian Jixing was a little tempted to say no.

She said slowly: “It also can be considered that you didn’t bite me.” Then she continued, “It can be considered that I bit you.”

Sheng Ruxi: “…?” For a moment, she couldn’t tell if the scene Jian Jixing was describing was real or fake.

Jian Jixing’s speed was neither fast nor slow. Her eyes were fixed on Sheng Ruxi: “To make up for me biting you, why don’t I let you bite me back?”
