After Marrying the Cold Omega in Secret - Chapter 57

In the following days, they were both busy and fulfilled.

Chi Ye still went to the company early. According to the schedule, Chu Jin attended acting and movement classes, as if returning to her university days. However, now she also had to prepare for that important audition.

Because Chi Ye would be joining the film crew next month, there were many urgent matters to handle recently. So she came home later and later. To avoid disturbing Chu Jin’s rest, she told Chu Jin to sleep in her own room.

In the past, Chu Jin would have been thrilled if Chi Ye didn’t come back all month. Then she could be free every day, just waiting for next month’s living expenses to be paid.

The money was earned almost too easily.

But when Chi Ye merely suggested sleeping in separate rooms, Chu Jin felt somewhat uncomfortable.

She tentatively called this feeling a craving for Chi Ye’s beauty. Wasn’t it normal to feel uneasy about not being able to hold her fragrant, soft wife while falling asleep at night?

However, they were only in a contractual relationship after all, so sleeping separately was not unreasonable.

And it was the request of the Party A sponsor.

Chu Jin could only go along with it.

Chu Jin narrowed her eyes, lying on the cold big bed, feeling more and more unsettled. Finally, she suddenly sat up and sent a selfie to Chi Ye.

She deliberately struck a pose, revealing her deep collarbones and, very casually, a glimpse of her loose collar. Although it was just a small shadow, it was enough to make one’s heart race.

She also added a text with obvious intent:

[I don’t know why, but I feel like my bed is so cold.]

The embarrassing incident of falling asleep drunk last time had been bothering Chu Jin. She strongly suspected Chi Ye was lying, but she hadn’t found a chance to question her carefully these past few days.

Especially now that they were sleeping separately, there was even less opportunity.

Chu Jin really wanted to know what Chi Ye had done and said while she had blacked out.

Even if she had really fallen asleep in the end, Chu Jin wanted to find another chance to prove she wasn’t really incapable!

Just as she was pondering resentfully, her phone chimed.

Chi Ye had replied.

It was just a brief six characters:

[Because you’re wearing too little.]

Chu Jin: ……

She was really done.

Chi Ye wasn’t like this before. In bed, she used to call her “wife” constantly, in a manner that could hardly be described as cold as she was now.

So this made Chu Jin even more curious about what had happened that night.

In response to Chi Ye’s unromantic reply, Chu Jin only sent back a heartbroken emoji:

[Woman, you don’t understand my heart.jpg]

Chi Ye quickly sent a “smile” emoji back.

Chu Jin found it creepy.

But at the same time, she told herself that Chi Ye, as an older internet user, definitely didn’t mean any harm by sending this kind of deadly smile.

Then Chi Ye sent another string of text:

[How’s the preparation for tomorrow’s audition going?]

Seeing the other’s concern,Chu Jin seized the opportunity to flirt.

[Come to my bed tonight and I’ll tell you.]

[Batting eyelashes.jpg]

Chi Ye’s side showed “typing” for a while, and after much deliberation, she finally edited a brief reply.

[I’m afraid if I come, you’ll be late for your audition tomorrow.]

With perfect reading comprehension, Chu Jin immediately understood the meaning of these words. If she hadn’t seen that Chi Ye had been typing for a long time, she would have believed in CEO Chi’s impromptu flirting skills.

Unfortunately, she had caught on.

Chi Ye was just a paper tiger.

And a paper tiger who was so reserved even when flirting online.

Chu Jin’s lips curled into a smile as she quickly typed:

[Honey, you should be worried about yourself not being able to get out of bed tomorrow morning.]

So straightforward and clear, the other party was indeed left speechless.

In the end, she simply changed the subject.

[You go to sleep first, I have a meeting to attend.]

The match ended with Chu Jin’s victory.

Having achieved her goal of teasing Chi Ye today, Chu Jin was finally satisfied as she turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The audition was at 10 AM tomorrow, so she had to get up early.

Of course, Chi Ye didn’t actually have any meeting to attend.

She just didn’t want to continue that topic, fearing she might really not be able to resist immediately going back to crawl into Chu Jin’s bed.

Although the conversation had ended, Chi Ye still lovingly looked over their chat once more, and saved the selfie Chu Jin had sent.

A smile appeared on her lips.

After a busy day, her tense state found a moment of brief relaxation.

These past few days, Chi Ye had suggested sleeping separately firstly because she was truly worried about disturbing Chu Jin’s rest. She knew Chu Jin was a light sleeper, and she had to go to the company for classes these days, as well as prepare for the audition, so she needed to maintain adequate sleep.

The second reason was naturally a bit of deliberate revenge. Although Chu Jin had explained that the misunderstanding with Jiang Xu was just that, Chi Ye’s jealousy had still not dissipated.

After all, she had only found out about it after getting Chu Jin drunk, and Chu Jin hadn’t mentioned it again these past two days after sobering up. So whenever Chi Ye thought about it, she still felt a bit angry.

The physical relationship between the two of them had progressed rapidly, but their true emotions remained ambiguous, both just getting by.

Even that night when she was drunk and Chi Ye asked about her feelings, Chu Jin had still brushed it off with a kiss.

So regarding their relationship, Chi Ye felt confused. She craved the current beauty, but was not content with surface-level teasing and flirting. She wanted Chu Jin’s true feelings and affection from the bottom of her heart.

When Chu Jin got up the next day, she ran into Chi Ye as soon as she left the bedroom.

They hadn’t seen each other for several days, and Chi Ye’s demeanor visibly revealed deep fatigue.

Chu Jin couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Who says rich people don’t work hard? Rich people are actually more motivated. Even someone at the CEO level like Chi Ye still had to work two jobs.

Seeing Chi Ye also stop in her tracks, Chu Jin immediately crossed her long legs, propped one hand on the doorframe, and lazily leaned her body against it. She raised an eyebrow at Chi Ye leisurely:

“Good morning, CEO Chi! How did you sleep last night?”

Chi Ye glanced at her indifferently.

Her gaze fell on Chu Jin’s loose collar. A perfectly good set of pajamas, yet three buttons were left undone.

It was hard not to suspect it was deliberate.

“You’re exposed,” Chi Ye said flatly.

Chu Jin’s lips curled into a smile, quite frankly.

“I know, I did it on purpose.”

“Oh.” Chi Ye glanced at her lightly, then turned to walk towards the stairs.

Chu Jin quickly chased after her, “CEO Chi, I see you look very tired. Did you have insomnia?”

“No.”

Chi Ye lifted her foot to walk down the stairs.

“Then sleeping alone, weren’t you cold at night?”

Hearing this, Chi Ye suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chu Jin.

Chu Jin’s steps also halted, a smile on her lips as she gently looked back at Chi Ye.

Trying to capture a hint of emotion in Chi Ye’s expression.

Chi Ye suddenly raised her hand, her finger pointing in the air at Chu Jin’s collar, lightly uttering two words:

“Button up.”

Chu Jin had thought Chi Ye would relent and bring up sharing a room, but it turned out to be just about the collar.

However, Chu Jin wouldn’t miss any opportunity. She blinked, her already alluring eyes now filled with deep affection, like an intoxicating swamp drawing people in.

“Help me button it,” Chu Jin said softly.

She deliberately fiddled with her collar, causing more of the whiteness within to be exposed. Her gaze hooked at one’s heartstrings like a fishhook as she frowned and said, “This button is so hard to fasten.”

Chi Ye saw through her intentions.

But no matter what request Chu Jin made, she found it hard to refuse, especially one like this.

Chu Jin also didn’t give Chi Ye a chance to refuse, immediately standing on the step below Chi Ye, directly facing her and blocking her path down.

Standing one step higher, Chi Ye was half a head taller than Chu Jin. In this position, she could easily see the view inside the collar with just a slight lowering of her gaze.

This sight was fine for her to see, but not for others.

Chi Ye’s breathing became slightly irregular, though she didn’t show it. She slowly raised her hand, landing on the third button.

Her hands were beautiful, with long slender fingers, distinct bones, skin as smooth as silk, and fingertips tinged with a faint pink.

Due to the higher position, the already difficult-to-fasten buttons were now even more troublesome.

She accidentally touched the soft white skin many times before finally managing to button it.

Chu Jin’s lips held a smile, “CEO Chi, how dare you take advantage of me.”

Chi Ye’s fingers moved up to start buttoning the second one, her expression unchanged as she said, “I touched you by accident.”

“It’s fine, I allow you to do it on purpose.”

Chu Jin said softly.

Chi Ye found it hard to handle Chu Jin when she took the initiative like this.

She feared she would surrender quickly, so she didn’t respond to Chu Jin’s teasing, not daring to continue the topic.

After buttoning up, they went downstairs for breakfast. This was the first time they had breakfast together in these past few days.

After breakfast, Chi Ye drove to the company, while the family driver took Chu Jin to Xinghong Building.

The agent was very busy today and didn’t have time to accompany Chu Jin so assistant Feng Pei’er had arrived at Xinghong Building early to wait for Chu Jin and had prepared coffee in advance.

“Thank you,” Chu Jin took the coffee, then reminded her, “Remember to get a receipt and expense it to the company.”

Working people don’t earn money easily, so expenses should be claimed when possible.

Feng Pei’er belatedly realized and nodded with a smile, “Okay.”

Then the two of them entered Xinghong Building.

This building was much larger than the agency company where Chu Jin worked. As soon as they entered, there was a luxuriously decorated lobby with a reception desk to the side.

As soon as they stepped in, two women in suits approached them, both with perfect makeup.

They stopped them gently and asked, “May I ask what you’re here for?”

Chu Jin: “I’m here for an audition.”

“Do you have an appointment invitation?” The woman’s tone was patient and calm, with a well-trained smile on her lips.

At this point, Feng Pei’er quickly rummaged through her bag, “I have it here.”

She searched for a long time before finding the invitation.

However, just as Feng Pei’er was about to hand it over, before the woman could take it, they heard the crisp sound of high heels from behind.

Followed by an impatient female voice:

“Why is it so hot today!”

The woman who was about to take the invitation paused, her gaze passing over Chu Jin to land on the woman behind her.

Her previously faint smile instantly turned into a delighted one, and she softly said “Please wait a moment” to Feng Pei’er before walking towards the newcomer.

Of course, Chu Jin could clearly read the flattery and fawning in her manner.

Chu Jin guessed that the newcomer’s identity must be extraordinary, and immediately looked back.

Although she was wearing sunglasses, Chu Jin recognized at a glance that this was Feng Yuwei.

A well-known young actress of the current generation.

Feng Yuwei was wearing a white dress with a light blue denim jacket over it. Her outfit was simple but had a fresh girl-next-door vibe, very much in line with her public image.

The two receptionists had already walked up to her.

“Hello, Miss Feng! Are you here to see Director Su?”

However, before Feng Yuwei could respond to them, her lips pressed into a straight line. Even with sunglasses on, her displeasure was evident.

“Such hot weather, and you prepared such thick clothes for me,” she said sharply to her assistant beside her.

The assistant lowered her head submissively, not daring to make a sound, only silently taking the jacket Feng Yuwei had taken off.

Being in public, Feng Yuwei couldn’t continue to be difficult, so she had to let it go.

Then Feng Yuwei took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of beautiful almond eyes. However, her gaze was not as gentle and pure as on screen, but rather carried a hint of contempt and disdain.

Her eyes swept over the receptionist, and she lightly “hmm”ed.

The latter hurriedly went to swipe the elevator for her. Feng Yuwei, who was about to follow, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Her gaze lightly fell on Chu Jin standing in the corner.

It was an uncomfortable scrutiny.

Even colder than before.

“Are you Chu Jin?” she asked, her tone full of mockery:

“That D-list celebrity who rode the popularity of a dating show?”
