After A Secret Marriage Agreement With A Rival Omega - Chapter 74
Chapter 74
◎ “I’m just very service-oriented.” ◎
“Before you asked me…” Jian Jixing pondered for a moment before saying, “I haven’t thought about it.”
She had thought about it.
But they had already agreed that it would be private, at least for the duration of their one-year marriage.
She knew Sheng Ruxi wasn’t happy right now, so she didn’t want to say anything that would make her more unhappy.
Jian Jixing didn’t expect that after she said that, Sheng Ruxi’s face would have no other expression.
There was no anger, no joy, just a surprising indifference. “I haven’t thought about it either.”
She got in the car, and she seemed tired. She leaned back in the passenger seat and didn’t speak again. Jian Jixing’s brows furrowed even more. After getting in the car, she gripped the steering wheel with both hands, “If you want to go public, then we’ll go public.”
Sheng Ruxi felt an unstoppable bitterness rising from her toes to her nose. She pursed her lips. Maybe that small stone had bothered her.
After all, she was never the type of person to hold things in. She said, “I haven’t thought about it. We both don’t want to go public, so we’ll just stick to our agreement.”
Jian Jixing couldn’t figure out the emotions in Sheng Ruxi’s tone. The more she was like this, the more something felt wrong.
She started the car and drove to the hotel. They didn’t say a word until she dropped Sheng Ruxi off at her room door. A strange atmosphere spread between them.
Jian Jixing felt like she was on a roller coaster when she was with Sheng Ruxi. Just when they reached a high point, they had to face the next low point.
And the dopamine brought by the previous high point was so addictive that she could briefly ignore the unhappiness of the low points.
When they got out of the car, Sheng Ruxi didn’t get the bouquet of flowers. Neither of them opened the back door, so Jian Jixing didn’t take them either.
For Jian Jixing, it was like this. Since the person didn’t want the gift she had given, she wouldn’t keep it. What’s more, it was just a bouquet of flowers? Sheng Ruxi didn’t lack the jewelry she had given her, and she certainly wouldn’t be lacking that bouquet of flowers.
At the door, Jian Jixing didn’t go in, but when Sheng Ruxi wanted to take off her coat, she naturally took it, not only helping Sheng Ruxi take it off but also hanging it on the coat rack by the entrance.
Sheng Ruxi turned her head: “You’re very good at this.”
Jian Jixing: “…”
“You’ve always been very good at doing these things,” Sheng Ruxi’s emotions seemed to have found an outlet tonight. The tone of her voice was very soft. “You’re a truly good person who knows how to take care of others.”
Jian Jixing was silent for a while. She couldn’t tell if this was a strange “good person” card or Sheng Ruxi’s praise. She was used to taking care of Sheng Ruxi, and Sheng Ruxi should have also been used to being taken care of. How could this be a compliment?
And, since Jian Jixing did all these things naturally, Sheng Ruxi didn’t need to specifically remember them. Now that she suddenly brought it up, it felt strange.
“Sheng Ruxi,” Jian Jixing said at the door, her voice low.
“What is it?”
“You don’t need to specifically tell me about these good things I’ve done for you. Also, it’s not the same.”
“How is it not the same? Is it not good? You did these things for me. Manwen told me that you’re the most serious when you’re working, but you still took time out to have dinner with me and even let me into your set that isn’t finished yet to have fun, fulfilling my wish. Aren’t you good? Is it wrong for me to say you’re good?” Sheng Ruxi curled her lips and smiled faintly. She stood still. They were only a door apart, but it was like an invisible chasm.
They were very close, only half a step away, but their tone of voice pushed them very far apart.
“I said before, you should enjoy these good things,” Jian Jixing said. “If you want to talk to me in such an awkward way, that’s fine. But don’t you feel uncomfortable?”
It was different.
This discomfort couldn’t be resolved with just a few words or an argument.
Jian Jixing saw Sheng Ruxi’s elegant and reserved silence. For a moment, she even wanted to roughly pull Sheng Ruxi over and see what she was thinking in that adorable and annoying little head of hers.
Sheng Ruxi’s heart was beating. She could feel it. The sudden feeling of stuffiness and unspoken words tonight came from the phrase “couple fun.”
When she thought that Jian Jixing had also been like this with other people, and perhaps her way of taking care of others was taught to her by others, she felt very uncomfortable.
Why hadn’t she thought of this before? Although Jian Jixing was allergic to omega pheromones, it didn’t mean she couldn’t have a girlfriend and fall in love. As long as she and others didn’t go as far as getting into bed, she wouldn’t lack any of the care she should have.
She hated her slow realization. How could she only think of this now?
Seeing Sheng Ruxi turn around to walk in, Jian Jixing’s face turned cold. She grabbed Sheng Ruxi’s wrist and pulled her toward her. Sheng Ruxi was caught off guard. Her body was pulled around, and she stumbled toward Jian Jixing. Her hand also landed on Jian Jixing’s shoulder.
“Let go.”
Jian Jixing didn’t. Especially after hearing Sheng Ruxi say that, she put her hand on Sheng Ruxi’s waist and pulled her down.
Sheng Ruxi was naturally powerless against her. In the end, her entire upper body was half-lying in Jian Jixing’s arms.
Her face was forced to lean against Jian Jixing’s chest, feeling the repeated beating of her skin, as if it was about to fall heavily into her heart.
Jian Jixing’s heartbeat seemed to be a strategy, making Sheng Ruxi feel very uncomfortable. The moment she leaned on her, she even stopped breathing.
Jian Jixing didn’t say a word. Besides bringing Sheng Ruxi into her arms, when Sheng Ruxi lowered her head, she also lifted Sheng Ruxi’s chin, making her look at her.
Sheng Ruxi moved her eyes away, and she lowered her head, locking onto Sheng Ruxi’s every move, forcing her to not be able to retreat.
Neither of them would give in.
The lights inside were not bright. Sheng Ruxi’s peripheral vision was the only thing that was free. She keenly sensed that Jian Jixing’s intentions were unclear, and she was already clearly at a disadvantage. But her stubbornness had come up at this moment, and she wouldn’t back down.
Her eyes were filled with a watery light as she looked at Jian Jixing, and the pressure on her waist weakened.
Jian Jixing was still soft-hearted, Sheng Ruxi thought.
For a moment, she thought she had the upper hand.
She gathered her strength, ready to get up from Jian Jixing’s arms. But at this moment when she let down her guard, Jian Jixing’s hand on her waist completely let go, and instead, it grabbed the back of Sheng Ruxi’s head.
What followed was a completely unreasonable and arrogant kiss. The cold breath seemed to turn into a cold snake, invading and not allowing Sheng Ruxi to retreat, wreaking havoc in her mouth.
Since the night before last, Jian Jixing had been enduring a lot. She had a few interactions with Sheng Ruxi, both sweet and argumentative. Her emotions were like being on a roller coaster. The endurance up to this point, along with the suppressed desires from before, all burst out at the same time.
Sheng Ruxi was hard to understand and wouldn’t say what was on her mind. Jian Jixing had no other choice but to use this most primitive method. This method didn’t require a single word and was effective.
Sheng Ruxi was caught off guard, and all her senses were stripped away. By the time she reacted, her tongue had already lost its control and was completely following Jian Jixing. Her lips were already wet, and her face and ears were rapidly heating up.
She reacted and struggled fiercely, twisting and letting out a few light hums from between her lips and teeth. The force was like a kitten’s scratch, which only made people’s hearts itch and had no intention of pushing her away.
The tears that were supposed to be fake now became real from the intensity of the kiss. The tears fell like transparent pearls.
But this time, it was no use.
The tears moistened Sheng Ruxi’s cheeks and also the parts of Jian Jixing that were close to her. The tears dripped down to her chin, but Jian Jixing reached out and pressed her chin tightly, not allowing her to make any other movements.
Except to kiss.
Sheng Ruxi had no other choice. The other parts of her body were forced to tense up, tight and rigid. Even her breathing was taken away. She felt her mind become hazy, as if she was about to suffocate at any moment.
Her hands that were originally propping up Jian Jixing’s body lost their strength and went soft. Jian Jixing walked in. Just like the attack of her tongue, she completely ended the safe distance and crossed the blurry line.
Soon, Jian Jixing’s hand was no longer on Sheng Ruxi’s chin. It moved to Sheng Ruxi’s legs, which were wrapped in good trousers. She lifted her up, and she easily had Sheng Ruxi wrap her legs around her, holding on tightly.
And the person who was now holding up her chin was her, but she was just waiting.
Sheng Ruxi looked at her with misty eyes.
The waiting time was short. Sheng Ruxi gave up resisting, softened her attitude, and took the initiative to cling to Jian Jixing again.
Resistance was useless, so it was better to indulge herself and fall into it. She no longer resisted, but she was no match for Jian Jixing’s deliberate torment. Just when Sheng Ruxi was about to cry because of how soft her body was, Jian Jixing let go of her.
Only then did she realize that she had been placed on the sofa at some point. Jian Jixing’s gaze was as deep as the dark night, staring at her unblinkingly.
Sheng Ruxi felt that her lips were swollen and a little sore from being sucked. She instinctively licked them.
It was a small movement, but it became meaningful because of the heat in Jian Jixing’s gaze. She reached out and gently twisted the corner of Sheng Ruxi’s lips. She didn’t say anything. Instead, she hugged Sheng Ruxi.
Sheng Ruxi was so embarrassed and wanted to leave, but her body had no strength. Her legs were wrapped around Jian Jixing’s waist, and her breathing was uneven.
She had taken off her coat at the beginning of the year. Underneath was a light-colored off-the-shoulder knitted sweater, which was thin and outlined the curves of her body. When she was leaning on Jian Jixing, it was obviously compressed. Her shoulder slipped down a little, revealing a bit of her full, voluptuous shape.
Sheng Ruxi was still panting, her body rising and falling with each breath.
Jian Jixing narrowed her eyes and didn’t remind Sheng Ruxi of what she felt at this moment. She nonchalantly raised her eyebrows. Her hand gently stroked Sheng Ruxi’s back and quietly stopped just above her waist.
It took a while for Sheng Ruxi to recover. She waited until her breathing was normal before she looked up. After Jian Jixing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she said, “You still have work tonight.”
Jian Jixing’s voice was slightly hoarse and coaxing: “Someone needs me more right now.”
Sheng Ruxi pursed her lips: “What do you mean?”
Jian Jixing looked at Sheng Ruxi carefully. Her gaze moved down a little, and then she reached out and pulled Sheng Ruxi’s clothes up a little.
“I’d rather coax you,” Jian Jixing said, the end of her sentence rising, as if she was teasing Sheng Ruxi, but it was also sincere. “Work can be done at any time, but I can’t let you misunderstand me and stay the night.”
Sheng Ruxi tried her best to look a little fierce. The tone of her voice was spoiled and resentful: “You know a lot?”
Jian Jixing had probed a few things and basically understood what would make Sheng Ruxi angry. She was fine before. She was happy when she accepted the gifts, but when it came to the bed scene, she asked if she had experience, and then she became unhappy.
So the root of the problem was her experience.
For goodness sake, she really didn’t have any experience. All of her experience was what she had learned with Sheng Ruxi.
Jian Jixing wasn’t angry. She thought Sheng Ruxi was very interesting, and at the same time, she felt a real sense of being cared for by Sheng Ruxi. Sheng Ruxi’s emotions were affected by her, so it was natural for her to be the one to solve it.
“Is it because you hate that I have experience and you think I’ve done it for other people?” Jian Jixing’s fingers lightly touched Sheng Ruxi’s hair and back, tapping gently. “I haven’t done it for anyone else.”
Sheng Ruxi was still thinking about the ex-girlfriend who might not have existed. She didn’t say anything and just stared at Jian Jixing.
For a moment, a dazzling light flashed outside the window. A drone show was set up in the air, forming the shape of blooming flowers and fireworks.
It was a fleeting moment that clearly showed the emotions in their eyes.
Sheng Ruxi sobbed and whispered: “Did you give gifts to your ex-girlfriend? Did you give her jewelry? Did you give her flowers?”
Jian Jixing paused, “Where did you get an ex-girlfriend?”
“An ex-fling.”
“…There’s no such person. Who told you that?” Jian Jixing didn’t expect Sheng Ruxi to think of this. Sheng Ruxi lowered her eyes. A tear was about to fall. She lay on Jian Jixing’s chest.
Sheng Ruxi pouted and didn’t look at Jian Jixing: “I thought of it myself.”
Sometimes, having too much imagination was not a good thing. Jian Jixing knew that this misunderstanding was huge. She lifted Sheng Ruxi’s face and sighed.
Sheng Ruxi said: “I heard someone say that someone used to wait for you at your film set after work…”
To be honest, if Sheng Ruxi hadn’t mentioned it, Jian Jixing would have almost forgotten that person’s name.
“It’s not what you think,” Jian Jixing reiterated. “First, I want to tell you that there’s no such thing as an ex-girlfriend. And I’ve never given anyone else flowers or jewelry.”
“But you know a lot.”
“Sheng Ruxi, what are you thinking?” Jian Jixing cupped Sheng Ruxi’s face with her hands, squeezing it a little to make her sober up. There was a smile in her eyes. “Do you know why?”
Sheng Ruxi shook her head in Jian Jixing’s palms, like a soft glutinous rice ball being kneaded from side to side.
“I’m just very service-oriented when it comes to you,” Jian Jixing said in a low voice. “But this is limited to you. Just you. It’s a proper thing.”
This sentence had clearly dispelled 70% of Sheng Ruxi’s worries and unhappiness, but she still grumbled: “How do I know you’re very service-oriented with me? How do I know…”
“You’ll know,” Jian Jixing interrupted her. “Since you’ve thought about so much, haven’t you thought about anything else?”
Jian Jixing’s hand went to Sheng Ruxi’s back. The place where her fingers stopped had a slight bump. That was where the clasp was located.
Sheng Ruxi easily sensed what Jian Jixing was hinting at. When Jian Jixing’s fingers pinched that spot, she also felt as if a switch had been flipped.
Before she could ask, Jian Jixing had already spoken: “You taught the student, but you’re afraid of starving the teacher… Sheng Ruxi, when you were asking me for pointers on bed scenes, did you think about this moment?”
