After Getting Married to My Obsessive Older Sister - Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Returning home, as soon as the door opened, Tan Ze wrapped her arm around Chu Yiqiao’s waist and pressed her against the door. The two of them, in perfect sync, entered a state of passion almost at the same second. Lips and teeth intertwined. Chu Yiqiao tilted her face up, this time not just to kiss, but also to physically close the distance between her and Tan Ze.

Tan Ze’s kiss was gentle. The warmth of her palm, through the thin fabric, covered Chu Yiqiao’s skin, slowly making her feel hot all over.

She suspected she had skin hunger. She wanted to be close to Tan Ze so badly. Her lips were sealed, so she couldn’t speak. Chu Yiqiao expertly moved forward, pressing against Tan Ze.

Tan Ze’s anger hadn’t subsided. She didn’t want Chu Yiqiao to be comfortable right away and continued to just kiss her, impassively. She pried open Chu Yiqiao’s teeth, pushed her tongue inside, and tangled with the little, uncoordinated tip of her tongue. Tan Ze’s hand moved down, resting dangerously on the indented joint, rubbing gently but with no intention of going further.

Chu Yiqiao rubbed against her a second time. She didn’t express much more, but Tan Ze somehow got the hint. She quickly fulfilled Chu Yiqiao’s wish, holding her waist and guiding her to the sofa.

Chu Yiqiao was a person who found it hard to do two things at once. When her mind was preoccupied, she couldn’t even perform well during lovemaking.

When Tan Ze kissed her, she just opened her mouth. The rest was left to physiological instincts to arrange on their own: shivering, coolness, numbness, heat. Before she knew it, Chu Yiqiao was so affected she couldn’t stand up.

She lay on the soft sofa, sinking in a little. Tan Ze sat on the other side, holding Chu Yiqiao’s left leg and resting it on her own knee. The soft calf dangled freely.

Just as she had turned off the lights in the office, Tan Ze was also blocked. Chu Yiqiao felt oppression and soreness. She slightly straightened up to push away Tan Ze’s hand, only to be pulled up by Tan Ze, who kissed her all the way from her fingertips to her panting lips.

Once, twice, Chu Yiqiao was drowning in love, unable to breathe.

Sometimes, when Tan Ze was bored online, she would stumble upon articles about “how to spot a fake.” She probably had a shaky hand and accidentally clicked on it, and then accidentally used her precious work time to read the boring content. Her only takeaway was that it was boring. Of course, she didn’t type a reply. All of Chu Yiqiao’s experiences should be Tan Ze’s private property.

Besides, was it that hard to distinguish?

Just like now, Tan Ze watched Chu Yiqiao’s reddened face. Her round, almond-shaped eyes first narrowed in satisfaction, and then her beautiful pupils were instantly covered in a layer of mist. Her mouth was slightly open without her realizing it, revealing a bright red tongue inside. Her breathing became more and more rapid. She started calling for Tan Ze. Before, it was always “Sister, Sister,” but now she liked to say “Wife, Wife,” the frequency getting faster and faster, the trailing sound of her voice able to sweep away a person’s entire rationality.

This was the best time to kiss her. Not a gentle kiss, but a forceful one, a kiss that would make Chu Yiqiao unable to breathe. Then she could see the person’s eyes suddenly widen, and a thunderstorm would begin in the room, like a small rain shower on a hot summer day of 35 degrees Celsius, carrying a bit of warmth because of the high temperature, making one feel suffocated and chest-tight, but also arousing a person’s inner wildness.

Almost no one wouldn’t want to go crazy in this kind of environment. Unfortunately, Tan Ze was a mature adult. Madness and willfulness were irrelevant to her. She also wanted to throw away her umbrella and run wild in the torrential rain, but her inner worries wouldn’t allow her to do so. All those desires, when they fell on the small Chu Yiqiao, were reduced to gentle kneading and tender kisses. Tan Ze, by herself, made this torrential rain last for a long time.

For the first time, Chu Yiqiao was thinking about other things while they were doing this. While Tan Ze was observing her, she was also observing Tan Ze, from the slightly wrinkled brow to the eyes that contained a hint of anger. Chu Yiqiao was enchanted by Tan Ze’s gaze and touch. In a trance, she felt like she was on a trampoline, going higher and higher, more and more exciting, but deep down, she knew she was safe, that she would be caught.

She blinked, letting the physiological tears that had gathered in her eyes fall. She wanted to kiss her sister again. It was best to be closer so she could see everything clearly, even through the tears.

“Sister, mmm, I want a hug…”

Tan Ze was getting better at hugging Chu Yiqiao. Chu Yiqiao’s legs were bent, kneeling on Tan Ze’s thighs. Her slender back was slightly arched. Tan Ze hugged Chu Yiqiao’s waist with one hand, and with the other, she started from the back of her neck and slowly stroked downwards.

All of Chu Yiqiao’s invisible fur was smoothed down by Tan Ze. She was obediently draped over Tan Ze, a faint gasp escaping from her swollen lips. Her cheeks were crimson, and she was lightly shivering.

The house had a constant temperature system, always set at 25 degrees Celsius. After taking a shower and putting on pajamas, it was still a bit cool. Chu Yiqiao burrowed into the blanket, lying on her side, slightly curled up. From the post-activity fatigue, she didn’t even have the strength to open her eyes. She squinted, dizzily watching Tan Ze smile.

Tan Ze expertly tidied up the bathroom. After she finished her own shower, she got into bed, but before she could even lie down completely, a monkey doll was hanging on her again.

Why did she get so much clingier after they got married?

Tan Ze didn’t want to seem petty, so she never brought up the fact that Chu Yiqiao seemed to want to abandon her and go work at a gallery in Italy. She realized on her own that resistance wasn’t the only way. Getting Chu Yiqiao drunk on affection was also a great method.

So that night, Tan Ze was completely submissive to Chu Yiqiao, even agreeing to her request for a kiss before sleeping.

When Chu Yiqiao softly said “Wife” and then giggled to herself, Tan Ze no longer secretly criticized her strange thought process. Instead, she gently held her and responded with a soft “Wife.”

After all, Chu Yiqiao’s willpower was very weak, Tan Ze thought. She sincerely hoped that hugs and love really had that much power.

The next day, before the alarm went off, Tan Ze was already awake.

Tan Ze’s sleep had always been light, especially during the few days when seasons changed. She would wake up easily. In the past, as long as it wasn’t as early as 3 or 4 AM, Tan Ze would just get up and handle her work. She only developed the bad habit of sleeping in after she started dating Chu Yiqiao.

Today, she slowly opened her eyes and found that Chu Yiqiao was already awake, holding her phone and staring at it with a face of dread.

Tan Ze leaned in. Chu Yiqiao was practicing for the first subject of the driver’s license test.

Seeing that Tan Ze was awake, Chu Yiqiao immediately turned off her phone. As she did, Tan Ze glanced at the home screen and saw the scores of the last three practice tests: 86, 85, and 79.

How…

Not a single…

pass…

Tan Ze didn’t know if she had failed to control her expression when she kissed Chu Yiqiao this morning. The pity in her eyes was so strong that even a dense person like Chu Yiqiao understood it. She stopped kissing her and, as if to complain, said to Tan Ze: “This app is terrible! So many of the answers are wrong!”

Tan Ze: “Then we’ll switch to another app.”

“Okay!” Chu Yiqiao deeply agreed, nodding hard: “Let’s switch!”

During the day, Chu Yiqiao was busy with the gallery submissions as usual. They had a small family meeting during breakfast and ended up keeping five of the six galleries. The one that was removed, the location of its headquarters was self-evident.

Chu Yiqiao thought her sister was right; flying back and forth was too tiring.

Tan Ze was very appreciative of Chu Yiqiao’s sensible decision-making and rewarded her by looking through her phone—

…at the Driver’s Exam App when she went to the room to change.

A quick glance showed a sea of red with just a few specks of green.

Tan Ze regretted it. She shouldn’t have secretly wished in her heart that Chu Yiqiao wouldn’t pass the first subject even after eight tries.

Tan Ze had long since discovered that the world would bend to her will. Now look what happened. The smart Chu Yiqiao couldn’t get her driver’s license.

Chu Yiqiao came out after changing and didn’t even react when she saw Tan Ze still holding her phone. She was already used to having no secrets from Tan Ze.

She walked over and found that Tan Ze was looking at her disastrous test history.

“There really are a lot of wrong answers!” Chu Yiqiao argued, a little afraid that Tan Ze wouldn’t believe her. She had told this theory to her two friends, and they had both, without prior consultation, started bragging about their driver’s licenses. It was so annoying.

Tan Ze nodded: “Indeed.”

“You can ask me,” Tan Ze said. “I studied for one night and passed.”

“Wow!” Chu Yiqiao wasn’t surprised by this at all: “Thank you, Wife!”

That morning, Tan Ze decided to help Chu Yiqiao get her driver’s license.

On the same day, when Chu Yiqiao was once again dropped off at the gates of Jing University by Tan Ze, she was about to get out but was stopped. Tan Ze took out a familiar bag and returned Chu Yiqiao’s bracelet to her.

“It’s fixed,” Tan Ze said.

Chu Yiqiao was quite fond of this bracelet. When she got it back, she noticed a subtle difference. She held it up to the sunlight and looked at it curiously, then turned to Tan Ze: “Sister, was the chain replaced?”

Tan Ze nodded: “The original one was a bit old. I replaced it at the same time.”

The new one can record audio.

Chu Yiqiao felt a bit of a pity. Old things were better because they held memories. But she was still completely positive, and her smile was free for Tan Ze: “Okay, it’s beautiful! Thank you, Wife.”

Tan Ze realized the secret to a happy life with Chu Yiqiao was to abandon her conscience. She nodded with no mental burden and accepted Chu Yiqiao’s grateful kiss while remaining seated.

Chu Yiqiao had genuinely become more diligent. In the past, after finishing an original piece, she would rest for at least ten days to two weeks, sketching and drawing from life to relax. This time, she carried her bag and went straight to the studio, setting up a new canvas to start sketching.

She remembered a small topic she had discussed with Kong Caiqing yesterday, about creative themes.

Chu Yiqiao was troubled. She had always painted on a whim. In her daily life, she was also quite easygoing and lacked something that could become an obsession. Kong Caiqing said it was fine, that it was something you couldn’t seek out. When you encountered it, you would know naturally. What she was doing now was also fine.

Chu Yiqiao was pondering this phrase, “When you encounter it, you will know naturally.” Excessive thinking was not her strong suit. As she thought, her mind began to wander. Her thoughts floated in a sea of colorful memories. When she came back to her senses, she still hadn’t finished sketching the outline. The canvas was already covered with a layer of gray-blue.

A senior student from the same classroom walked by and whistled, clicking her tongue in amazement at the amount of paint on the canvas: “You’re loaded.”

Chu Yiqiao awkwardly turned to cover it, her face turning red as if she had been caught naked. Before she could explain anything, the back door of the studio opened. It was Chu Yiqiao’s undergraduate advisor.

“Professor,” Chu Yiqiao immediately went to greet her, proactively asking: “Are you going to the office?”

“No,” the advisor waved her hand: “I have a class later. I just passed by and saw you, so I wanted to say something. The school’s exchange program is starting soon this semester. I looked at the requirements, and they’re very suitable for you. Do you want to consider it?”

Chu Yiqiao had no such plans. But the teacher was being kind. After all, among her classmates, almost everyone whose family could afford it was preparing to go abroad. Chu Yiqiao’s Moments feed was filled with the wailing of TOEFL and IELTS victims. She could understand why the teacher thought this way, so she replied: “Okay, thank you, Professor. I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Alright,” the advisor said: “I’ll email you the documents when they’re ready.”

“Sounds good.”

Chu Yiqiao walked back to her canvas after seeing her off. The vague feeling she had just moments ago had completely disappeared. She tried to think about it but couldn’t recall anything. She clapped her hands and went to find her friends for afternoon tea.

At 4:30 PM, Chu Yiqiao carried afternoon tea for both Zhao Jingxing and Tan Ze. She opened her umbrella and got into the car again.

“Sister Jingxing, this is yours, Earl Grey tea thousand-layer cake with iced grapefruit tea,” Chu Yiqiao said, holding the bag in her left hand and showing it to Zhao Jingxing, but not giving it to her. She was very considerate: “It’s not convenient in the car. I’ll hold it for you.”

“Thank you, Little Qiao,” Zhao Jingxing replied, turning to Chu Yiqiao: “Are we going straight to the company? Your sister isn’t there right now.”

Chu Yiqiao vaguely remembered her sister mentioning this to her when she left. She said: “Yes, straight to the company.”

“Is she attending a press conference? I think my sister told me about it.”

But since it was said when they had just woken up, Chu Yiqiao hadn’t paid any attention.

Zhao Jingxing turned to look at her, her gaze very complex: “Yes and no. You can actually watch it live.”

The moment she said this, Zhao Jingxing tapped a few times on the car’s screen. The screen instantly connected to a live stream. A long white table appeared in the view, with microphones from various media outlets lined up in front of it.

It was a press conference.

The press conference hadn’t started yet. The countdown in the bottom right corner showed five minutes. During this time, the host of the live stream was giving some background information.

“Just last month, Mingsheng Group released news that they intended to separate the electronic components business from the main headquarters and establish a new subsidiary.”

“Recently, an insider revealed that the trademark for this subsidiary has been registered. On the Tianyancha homepage, we can clearly see that the shareholder is not the current CEO of Mingsheng, Tan Ze, but Chu Lingtong, the sister of the former CEO, Chu Lingfeng.”

“Some people speculate that CEO Tan’s move is closely related to the rumors that circulated in March. CEO Chu had not given a direct answer in public before. If this is true, it is feared that this will be a major move that will impact the future development landscape of electronic components…”

Chu Yiqiao seemed to understand a little: “Does this mean my sister gave a part of the company to my aunt?”

Zhao Jingxing: “Yes.”

At least in the public eye, that’s what it was.

Chu Yiqiao nodded: “Then I understand.”

Afterward, Chu Yiqiao took out her phone, frowned, and started tapping.

About five minutes later, her frown deepened, as if she was very dissatisfied with the news on the screen.

Zhao Jingxing even heard a faint “tsk,” a sound she couldn’t believe had come from Chu Yiqiao’s mouth.

She seemed really angry.

Because she was driving, Zhao Jingxing couldn’t see the content on the young lady’s phone screen directly, but she could tell from the screen’s colors that Chu Yiqiao was jumping between two apps. She couldn’t identify one, but the other one was WeChat.

Meanwhile, Tan Ze was in the waiting room backstage, waiting for the live streaming equipment to be adjusted. She took out her phone. The notification bar promptly popped up with a message from Zhao Jingxing.

Confidant: “Little Qiao already knows. She seems very angry.”

Tan Ze thought Zhao Jingxing had lost her mind.

She held her phone, sitting on the sofa, and continued to wait. The phone screen was on her and Chu Yiqiao’s chat window. It was empty. The last message was from 4:30 PM.

Chu Yiqiao: “Sister, I brought you a little cake”

Tan Ze: “Mm”

A staff member came over: “CEO Tan, they are ready over there. We can start now.”

Tan Ze held her phone: “Excuse me, please wait a few more minutes.”

The staff member nodded: “Okay, just let us know when you’re ready.”

Tan Ze scrolled on the screen, thought for a few seconds, and started typing.

“Did you watch the live stream?” Deleted.

“What are you doing now?” Deleted.

“What did you bring?” This one.

Before she could send it, the other side moved first.

Chu Yiqiao: “Image (Screenshot of Driver’s Exam Subject 1 practice test, score 62)”

Tan Ze clicked on the large image. The time in the top left corner showed that it had just been taken.

So, Chu Yiqiao had been studying for the first subject of the driver’s license test just now.

Chu Yiqiao: “How could this happen! This app is broken too! It’s so frustrating!”

Chu Yiqiao: “Sister, when will you be done?”

Tan Ze: “Soon. I’ll teach you when I get back.”

Chu Yiqiao: “Okay, okay. Waiting for you, Sister ≡ω≡”

Tan Ze turned off her phone, adjusted the collar of her suit in the mirror, and prepared to go on stage.

Zhao Jingxing is insane.
