After Escaping My Paranoid Wife's Control - Chapter 22

After scolding herself, Song Yu picked up her phone and glanced at the time.

It was 10:30 PM.

If she didn’t go to sleep soon, she would definitely be late for work again tomorrow.

She turned off the lights and lay down in bed, planning to play on her phone for just five minutes before sleeping.

Song Yu tapped open her WeChat Moments, and with a quick swipe down, she saw a status update posted by Ji Mingsui.

“Ji Mingsui: To meet a better version of myself, fitness-ing [in progress].”

Song Yu was bewildered. When did Ji Mingsui ever have a habit of working out?

Ji Mingsui hated exercising. The only times she ever played a few rounds of golf or went mountain climbing were when she had to socialize and entertain clients.

In her past life, every single time Ji Mingsui stepped into a gym, it was solely to accompany her, chat with her, hand her water, and wipe away her sweat.

The image attached to this status update was a mirror selfie Ji Mingsui had taken in the gym.

Song Yu tapped to expand the photo.

With just one look, she knew she was completely finished for the night.

In the photo, to show off her physique, Ji Mingsui was wearing nothing but a sports bra and shorts.

Ji Mingsui’s fair, tender arms, her slender waist, and her long, shapely thighs were all exposed right there, blindingly bright.

Song Yu knew perfectly well that what she should do right now was close the image, throw her phone aside, and completely erase every single memory related to that mirror selfie from her brain.

Only by doing that would she be able to get a good night’s sleep.

But she simply couldn’t do it.

Without even blinking, Song Yu stared straight at Ji Mingsui in the photo. As she swallowed hard, she kept muttering under her breath, “I’m finished, finished, finished, finished…”

Just a moment ago, she had used that jacket permeated with Ji Mingsui’s scent to do some utterly shameful things.

But that level of release was only enough to vent a little bit, ensuring she wouldn’t stay awake all night just because she missed Ji Mingsui too intensely.

Originally, after venting a bit, she had already felt somewhat drowsy. But this mirror selfie posted by Ji Mingsui successfully jolted her wide awake again.

“I’m finished, finished, finished, finished…” Song Yu mumbled as she turned off her phone screen and tried to fall asleep.

As a result, the moment she closed her eyes, her mind was completely flooded with that mirror selfie Ji Mingsui had posted on her Moments.

Especially when she thought about those parts of Ji Mingsui’s body that she used to be able to touch, kiss, caress, and bite whenever she pleased parts she could never touch again in the future she felt an even more suffocating restlessness.

And so, she squirmed to the left a few times, rolled around to the right a few times, and tossed and turned in bed for over twenty minutes, yet she didn’t feel even a shred of sleepiness.

In the darkness, Song Yu let out a heavy sigh.

That mirror selfie Ji Mingsui posted had only exposed her arms, waist, and thighs, yet it had already driven her into such a pathetic, desperate state.

If Ji Mingsui were to do what she did in their past life sending her intimate, private photos just to tease and provoke her she would definitely be completely defenseless.

Song Yu felt a sudden wave of relief once again.

Thank goodness she was the only one who had been reborn.

If Ji Mingsui had also been reborn, then she would definitely never be able to escape the palms of Ji Mingsui’s hands in this lifetime.

In her past life, if she truly couldn’t sleep, Song Yu would choose to drive out and catch the wind all night, or just play video games until morning.

But she was no longer that canary kept inside a golden cage by the big boss Ji; she was now an ordinary person who survived on her own merit.

A canary could afford to stay up all night whenever she wanted.

After all, a canary was being taken care of by someone else and didn’t need to work. It didn’t matter even if her schedule was chaotic and her days and nights were reversed.

But an ordinary person couldn’t do that.

An ordinary person had to work diligently and make money through hard work so that they could support themselves.

In order to punctually appear at the company at 9:10 tomorrow morning and hold a morning meeting for her employees with passionate energy, Song Yu picked up her phone, opened a food delivery app, and placed an order for twelve cans of beer.

She specifically added a note Must be ice-cold!

First of all, because of that mirror selfie posted by Ji Mingsui, her body was currently burning with intense heat, and she desperately needed a few cups of ice-cold beer to cool down.

Secondly, after she got drunk, if there was no one by her side to keep her company, she would usually drift off to sleep very quickly as the drunkenness took over.

When she suffered from insomnia, consuming alcohol was a much more effective way to fall asleep than taking sleeping pills.

The only thing was that she would black out after getting drunk.

However, she was living alone now, so even if she got drunk and blacked out, it wouldn’t affect anyone else. Furthermore, according to what Ji Mingsui used to say, she didn’t run around all over the place when she blacked out.

Song Yu sat up from the bed. She lit up her phone screen, exited the delivery app, and returned to the WeChat interface.

While waiting for her delivery, she saved the mirror selfie Ji Mingsui had posted into her phone’s photo album.

Once Ji Mingsui received her bonus and left the company, she would definitely delete her contact information at the very first opportunity.

After all, in Ji Mingsui’s eyes right now, she was just an unconscionable boss who casually laid off employees.

When that time came, she wouldn’t be able to view the Moments Ji Mingsui posted anymore.

Therefore, she had to take advantage of the time before Ji Mingsui blocked her to save as many of Ji Mingsui’s selfies as possible.

Song Yu saved Ji Mingsui’s selfies because she loved Ji Mingsui. She thought that after leaving Ji Mingsui, if she ever missed her too intensely, she could look at the photos saved in her phone album to soothe her longing for her.

Her motive was very pure.

But the moment she thought about her own pathetic state how she lusted after Ji Mingsui so much that she couldn’t stop swallowing hard she knew that no matter how pure her motive for saving the photos was, on many nights in the future, she would definitely hide under her blanket, stare at those saved selfies of Ji Mingsui, and do a whole, whole lot of shameless things.

Song Yu kept scrolling through Ji Mingsui’s Moments, doing her best to save more of Ji Mingsui’s photos.

At the same time, she scolded herself out loud, “I am really so utterly spineless.”

She didn’t forget to apologize to Ji Mingsui either, “I’m sorry, to be saddled with such a perverted wifey-fan like me in this lifetime, you are truly too unlucky.”

At the exact same time, Ji Mingsui, who was waiting downstairs, knitted her brows in annoyance.

She had already been standing by the entrance of the apartment building for four hours.

By this time, Song Yu should have definitely placed an order on a delivery app.

Why hadn’t the delivery rider brought the ice-cold beer Song Yu bought yet?

Ji Mingsui took a deep breath, constantly warning herself in her heart Have some patience.

Only a sufficiently patient hunter could capture the most satisfying prey.

If she acted in this lifetime like she did in their past life expressing her love to Song Yu first and throwing herself into her arms then Song Yu would definitely become as secure and fearless as before, picking fights and breaking up with her at the drop of a hat.

Therefore, even if she missed Song Yu terribly in her mind and her body was desperate for Song Yu’s comfort, she had to wait until Song Yu was completely drunk and blacked out before she could go up to see her.

Just then, the sound of an electric scooter came from not far away.

A dozen seconds later, a delivery rider stopped his electric scooter right in front of Ji Mingsui.

The rider took a large shopping bag off the handlebars.

Ji Mingsui saw that the transparent shopping bag contained over ten cans of beer.

She confirmed with the delivery rider, “Is it for 501?”

The delivery rider glanced at his phone, “No.”

“It’s an order for 603.”

“Did you order it?”

Ji Mingsui shook her head.

Seeing this, the delivery rider paid no more attention to Ji Mingsui and hurriedly carried the beer upstairs.

Looking at the delivery rider’s retreating back, the corners of Ji Mingsui’s lips curved up into a faint smile.

Room 603 was the apartment Song Yu rented.

It seemed that Song Yu had already experienced how formidable physiological attraction could be; otherwise, Song Yu wouldn’t have ordered so many cans of beer all at once.

Based on her experience, in another hour, Song Yu would definitely be completely blacked out from drinking.

When Song Yu was sober, because she was dissatisfied with her control over her, her attitude would be quite unyielding every time they were intimate, carrying a hint of punishment.

When she blacked out, Song Yu became even more reckless and fierce, letting herself vent all the dissatisfaction she normally suppressed in her heart onto her body.

But it just so happened that this was exactly what she preferred.

Therefore, regarding her intimate relations with Song Yu, she never felt humiliated.

On the contrary, sometimes when Song Yu was in a good mood and treated her too gently, she would actually feel unsatisfied. As a result, she would deliberately provoke Song Yu to make her angry, solely begging for Song Yu to be a bit rougher with her.

The moment she first fell for Song Yu was during that team-building event in their past life.

After work, Song Yu took everyone out for a get-together at a barbecue restaurant. It was a startup company with only five people in total, so there wasn’t really any intense drinking culture. The colleagues sat around a small table, casually eating meat, drinking alcohol, and chatting.

She was sitting next to Song Yu at the time.

Midway through, when she stood up to go to the restroom, she accidentally tripped over a beer bottle on the floor. Lacking a stable footing, she tumbled straight forward.

Song Yu was quick-eyed and swift-handed; she grabbed her arm in one swift motion and held her steady.

Song Yu asked her worriedly back then, “Are you okay?”

She shook her head.

Song Yu instructed her in a gentle tone, “Be careful.”

She even meticulously bent down to move the beer bottle under the table to a spot where it wouldn’t trip anyone.

She hadn’t fallen for Song Yu at that time because of Song Yu’s meticulousness and gentleness, but rather because she discovered that when Song Yu grabbed her arm, her grip strength was actually quite formidable.

Even through two layers of clothing, her skin had been pinched to the point of swelling by Song Yu.

When she returned from the restroom, she saw a few more cans of beer added to the table.

Compared to bottled beer, Song Yu preferred to drink canned beer.

She didn’t usually drink much, so she wasn’t very clear on it, but Song Yu said that canned beer had a better texture and taste.

After Song Yu finished a can of beer, she played around with the empty beer can in her hand while chatting with Ying Man.

Getting excited during the conversation, Song Yu directly squeezed the empty beer can in her hand.

The perfectly fine beer can was instantly dented and deformed by Song Yu’s squeeze, looking as if it had been brutally ravaged, turning into a pitifully twisted lump.

Watching Song Yu’s movement, her breathing hitched.

After imagining that empty beer can as herself, her body even trembled slightly with intense excitement.

It just so happened that Song Yu liked women, so after that get-together, she took the initiative to pursue Song Yu.

In the beginning, she didn’t intend to stay with Song Yu for the long term.

At that time, her liking for Song Yu was more out of physical desire.

Furthermore, because of her preferences, she behaved in an especially submissive and humble manner in front of Song Yu.

She had originally thought that upon seeing her act so lowly, Song Yu would gradually look down on her, treat her like she wasn’t human, and trample on or humiliate her to her heart’s content.

After all, such was human nature.

She hadn’t invested her heart into Song Yu back then, thinking that if Song Yu ever went too far and became too reckless, she would simply pull away in time and find another girlfriend who fit her preferences.

But after being together for a long time, she discovered that no matter how shamelessly she degraded herself before Song Yu due to her preferences, Song Yu would never despise her; instead, she always respected her deeply.

There was one time when Song Yu didn’t control herself well and used too much force. Afterward, Song Yu didn’t think it was trivial just because she had knelt down and begged for it. On the contrary, she meticulously helped her apply medicine. Over the next few days, Song Yu paid constant attention to her condition, deeply afraid that she wasn’t recovering well.

It wasn’t until that incident that she actually fell in love with Song Yu.

When she merely liked Song Yu and wanted to use her to satisfy her physical needs, she hadn’t cared too much about Song Yu since she figured she would have to switch to the next one before long anyway.

But after falling in love with Song Yu, she could no longer suppress her desire for control and possessiveness.

A Song Yu who fit her preferences so perfectly and shared such a deep spiritual connection with her had to be hers, and could only be hers.

Human hearts are unpredictable; who could know whether Song Yu was investing her heart or just her body? To ensure that Song Yu would never leave her, she became morbidly obsessive to the point that she wouldn’t allow Song Yu to slip out of her control for even a single second.

Later on, Song Yu would always complain that she had changed, saying that she used to be so gentle and normal during the initial stages of her pursuit and their relationship.

But as they kept dating, she couldn’t keep up the act anymore and exposed her true nature.

In reality, she hadn’t been unable to maintain the act back then; rather, she had fallen in love with Song Yu and began to genuinely care about her.

However, in order to avoid arguments, she had never told Song Yu the truth.

Even now, Song Yu still believed she had fallen in love during that first get-together, which caused her to feel a bit guilty every single time she celebrated their relationship anniversary with Song Yu later on.

Because she had truly fallen in love with Song Yu a whole half-year after that get-together.

Before that, she had always been using Song Yu as nothing more than a massage toy.
