Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Too Embarrassing

Jiang Yumian was still in a daze even after Yin Xiangyu closed the door and left. She thought she hadn’t misunderstood her meaning.

Although it felt a little unreal, given Yin Xiangyu’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t talk about something so uncertain, especially something like this.

Jiang Yumian took a deep breath. She didn’t let herself continue thinking about it. She would let nature take its course for now, just in case her expectations were dashed.

She returned to the room, picked up her phone from the bed, and quickly saw the message from Jing Xiaoyan asking her to call back.

She called directly, and the other side answered soon after.

“Why are you awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer?” As soon as Jing Xiaoyan finished speaking, Jiang Yumian poked the screen and immediately called out, “You scoundrel.”

Jing Xiaoyan looked up. “You’re calling me that again?”

It was ‘Older Sister,’ ‘Wife,’ and ‘Babe’ this morning, and now after a nap, it’s changed. Jiang Yumian, this fickle woman.

Jiang Yumian snorted softly, ignoring that. She answered her initial question, “Not sleeping anymore. I’ve been awake for a while. I also chatted with Yin Xiangyu.”

Hearing Yin Xiangyu’s name again, Jing Xiaoyan twitched her lips. “Oh, oh, oh, so you only remember me now.”

“Yes, yes, I almost forgot.” Jiang Yumian responded with the same sarcasm. Then, she reached out and poked the camera, squinting, asking knowingly, “You scoundrel, tell me first, who are you going to marry?”

Guessing that Yin Xiangyu had told her, Jing Xiaoyan didn’t hide it. She blinked, saying righteously, “Of course, I’m marrying you.”

Jiang Yumian held her phone and lay on the bed. After saying that, she rolled over and looked at the camera while lying on her stomach. “Marry me? I don’t know anything about it. I’m not marrying you anyway.”

Jing Xiaoyan completely ignored the bait and brought up the morning’s incident to condemn Jiang Yumian again. “I didn’t sleep well all night yesterday, and I went to the station early this morning, but you wouldn’t let me come over to you. And now, just because you chatted with Yin Xiangyu for a while, you’re not planning to marry me? Heh…”

Jiang Yumian was speechless: “…”

“Hey…”

Jing Xiaoyan deliberately put on a stern face. “I’m hanging up. I don’t want to see you right now.”

“Wait!” Jiang Yumian quickly sat up, holding her phone up to the opposite side. “Marry, marry, marry! Is it okay if I marry you?”

The hand on the opposite side that was about to hang up the video call quickly retracted. Seeing her smugly raise an eyebrow, Jiang Yumian looked at her irritably and complained, “You scoundrel, you’re a sore loser.”

“That’s right, I’m a sore loser. You can only be mine.” Jing Xiaoyan scoffed. She was sitting at her office desk, resting her hand on her face, and asked, “Are you still busy today?”

Jiang Yumian glanced at the current time. It was almost five o’clock. She shook her head. “I’ll leave tomorrow morning after I finish up. We’ll meet at the show.”

Jing Xiaoyan nodded. “Oh. Since you’re not busy, let’s start.”

A baffling sentence. Jiang Yumian was a little confused. “Start what?”

Jing Xiaoyan slowly blinked. She tapped her finger on her face, opening her red lips slightly. “Start… doing it.”

Jiang Yumian abruptly covered her phone on her chest. Her face quickly flushed. She licked her lips, stammering, “I, I, I, I, now, ahem…”

“What about now? Is there a problem?” Jing Xiaoyan looked at the black screen and asked deliberately.

Waiting for two seconds without an answer, she picked up the Bluetooth headset next to her and put it on. After connecting it to her phone, she urged, “Mhm?”

Jiang Yumian took a deep breath, steeling herself. She said directly, “I’m not in the mood right now.”

She quickly added, “You think everyone is like you, just doing it whenever you say…”

Jing Xiaoyan was silent for two seconds before speaking again. “Then look at me and get in the mood.”

Jiang Yumian gritted her teeth. She was so shameless!

Jing Xiaoyan tapped the black phone screen. “Mianmian?”

Jiang Yumian was struggling with herself. Hearing her urging, she quickly removed the phone from her chest, looking at the person on the screen with a slight blush.

“Can you be serious? Does it have to be listening…”

Jing Xiaoyan quickly replied, “Why be serious with your own girlfriend? Besides, you promised me.”

Jiang Yumian bit her lip. “Later tonight. You’re in the office.”

Jing Xiaoyan tapped her ear. “I’m wearing headphones.”

There was no room for refusal. Jiang Yumian was silent for several seconds, took a deep breath, and said, “I, I’m going to take a shower first…”

Jing Xiaoyan smiled. “You took a shower two hours ago before you slept.”

Being pointed out by Jing Xiaoyan that she had already showered and didn’t need to do it again, Jiang Yumian bit her tongue. Her heart was pounding. Her speaking speed was incredibly fast. “I, I just want to wash again.”

With that, she quickly hung up the phone.

Jing Xiaoyan was stunned for a few seconds before taking off her headphones. Well, it was quite difficult.

Sister: “I suggest you eat dinner first before taking a shower.”

She would have the energy after eating. This way, she wouldn’t make an excuse about needing dinner later.

Sponge has a baby: “I’ll listen to Older Sister.”

Sister: “I’m going home now. Call me after you shower.”

Jiang Yumian took off the cotton coat she was wrapped in and let out a light breath. She quickly became full of mixed feelings. What should she do!

She had eaten two hours ago and wasn’t hungry now. She hadn’t planned to eat dinner. Agreeing to Jing Xiaoyan was just a simple way to stall for time.

She opened the almighty search engine, wanting to search for how to do it. She didn’t really know how to, didn’t know where to start. But when she opened the search bar, she struggled. What should she type?

She hesitated and struggled for a long time, then typed, “How to do oneself.”

Her finger hesitated for a few seconds, then she quickly clicked search.

“1. The first step to being yourself is to recognize yourself, which includes…”

“2. The second step to being yourself is to adhere to self-values. Everyone has…”

Emmm…

Jiang Yumian’s heart tightened.

She gritted her teeth. She couldn’t possibly search for how to masturbate!

She threw her phone away, but picked it up a few seconds later, quickly deleting the search content and clearing the search history.

Embarrassing! It was truly too embarrassing!

She couldn’t do it.

Jiang Yumian held her head and rubbed her hair haphazardly a few times.

She tried hard to recall Jing Xiaoyan’s state that day. The sounds of panting echoed in her mind, and the final, more stimulating shout. Although it was that, she remembered it clearly.

She just felt that Jing Xiaoyan got into that state quite quickly…

She thought on the bed for about half an hour. Jing Xiaoyan’s message that she had arrived home had already come through. Jiang Yumian’s heart jumped. She looked out the window. It was half past five, and it was getting dark.

She didn’t dare to reply. First, she sent a message to her aunt saying not to worry about her dinner, and then she put down her phone and walked straight into the bathroom.

On the other side, Jing Xiaoyan was stopped by her mom as soon as she got home.

Her mom waved at her. “Yanyan, come here.”

Jing Xiaoyan changed her shoes, looked up, and obediently called out, “Mom.”

She walked over, and her mom pulled her down to sit. “You went to the company today. How do you feel?”

Jing Xiaoyan hugged Little Yanyan, who suddenly ran into her arms. She patted its head, smiled, and said, “I’ve mostly caught up with the previous manager, and with Sister An here, it’s not a big problem.”

Her mom nodded. “That’s good. I have something I want to talk to you about.”

Jing Xiaoyan nodded. “What is it?”

Her mom looked at Jing Xiaoyan, hesitating to speak, then sighed and said, “Regarding your relationship with Mianmian, I don’t recommend you make it public right now.”

Jing Xiaoyan’s hand, which was petting the dog, stiffened. She pursed her lips, a little confused. “Why?”

Her mom sighed softly. “You know what happened to Mianmian. She just joined the company. Who knows how many people will be secretly making trouble for her? Her methods aren’t ruthless enough right now. It really lives up to her name, ‘soft and cottony.'”

Jing Xiaoyan was slightly surprised. Jiang Yumian wasn’t exactly ruthless, but she wasn’t as bad as her mom described. She wasn’t entirely merciful either.

Jing Xiaoyan thought for two seconds and still spoke. “Mianmian is actually quite good.”

Her mom smiled, raising her hand and poking Little Yanyan’s head. “She’s just a little lamb in wolf’s clothing. What’s the use of always relying on my influence to bully people? She needs to have the ability to make others afraid of her herself. Only then can she protect herself and protect you.”

“Woof! Woof!”

Under Little Yanyan’s excited barking, Jing Xiaoyan quickly recovered. “Mom, are you worried that if I make my relationship with Mianmian public now, we’ll be maliciously targeted?”

Her mom nodded. “That’s exactly what I’m thinking. But with me here, I’m not afraid. No one dares to openly do anything to you. The main thing is that you’ll be in the entertainment industry later. Going public isn’t good for you either, so it’s better not to.”

Jing Xiaoyan pursed her lips, somewhat suspicious. “Did Mianmian ask you to tell me this?”

Jiang Yumian had been somewhat disapproving of her recent online activities.

Her mom quickly nodded again, directly selling Jiang Yumian out. “Yes, Mianmian asked me to persuade you to restrain yourself. She said you always have a reason to convince her, so she asked me to talk to you. The main thing is that I think what she said is quite right.”

“She really is something.” Jing Xiaoyan smiled helplessly. She organized her thoughts. “Actually, I think it’s better to let nature take its course. Don’t deliberately publicize it, and don’t deliberately hide it. If we get discovered, we get discovered. What’s there to be afraid of? We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. Don’t we still have Mom here?”

Her mom, who was unexpectedly flattered, quickly blinked, then paused for two seconds and said, “Actually, I think what you said is more right.”

Hiding things was never her style. If it were up to her, she naturally wouldn’t care. But this was about her two children, so she still had to consider their thoughts.

She strongly agreed with what Jing Xiaoyan said. There was nothing wrong with it.

“So, Mianmian is just not ruthless enough, always looking before she leaps.” Her mom shook her head as she spoke. “Why didn’t she inherit some of my good qualities?”

Jing Xiaoyan smiled, raising her lips, still speaking up for Jiang Yumian. “Mianmian is careful. She’s not as powerful as Mom. She just joined the company, and there are many people waiting to see her make a fool of herself, so she’s more cautious.”

Using her own words to indirectly refute her, her mom tsk-ed, and quickly gave Jing Xiaoyan a thumbs-up. “No wonder Mianmian said she can’t win an argument with you.”

Jing Xiaoyan cleared her throat a little sheepishly.

Her mom didn’t tease her anymore. “Alright, you go back and rest. I’ll have the auntie make dinner.”

Jing Xiaoyan opened her mouth. “Mom, I won’t eat dinner today. I didn’t sleep well last night, so I want to go to sleep first.”

Her mom waved her hand. “Alright then. Go to sleep.”

Jing Xiaoyan patted Little Yanyan’s head, nodded and said goodbye. She stood up and walked towards the room, her hand clutching her phone in her pocket, her steps a little hurried.

She wondered if Jiang Yumian had finished her shower.

She returned to her room, closed the door, and quickly opened her phone.

The other side hadn’t sent her a message. Jing Xiaoyan was a little disappointed. She figured she must be eating now. Thinking this, she made a call.

She waited for a long time, until it automatically hung up. Jiang Yumian didn’t answer the call. Why didn’t she answer? Jing Xiaoyan felt a little uneasy. She quickly called the bodyguard. Only after hearing that she hadn’t left the room did her heart settle back in her stomach.

Worry makes one irrational. Jing Xiaoyan touched her face, feeling a little silly just now. She stared at her phone, blinking. Was Jiang Yumian taking a shower, or did she not want to talk to her?

Jing Xiaoyan waited for another two minutes, still not getting a message from Jiang Yumian. Finally, she had no choice but to take her phone and walk into the bathroom. Fearing that the water sound would be too loud for her to hear the phone, she chose to soak in the bathtub, also to relieve her fatigue.

About ten minutes later, the bathtub was filled. Just as Jing Xiaoyan got in, Jiang Yumian’s video call came through.

Jiang Yumian sat on the bed, hugging her knees, biting her finger, her gaze fixed on the phone she was holding, waiting for Jing Xiaoyan to answer.

She hadn’t turned on the light in her room. She was too embarrassed to. She wondered if Jing Xiaoyan would laugh at her later.

Jing Xiaoyan looked down at her body hidden in the water, adjusted the camera so only her head was visible, and then answered the call.

For three or four seconds after connecting, neither side spoke. Jing Xiaoyan looked at the dark screen, quickly guessing that she was too embarrassed and didn’t dare to speak first.

Jiang Yumian was startled by the image of Jing Xiaoyan on the other side. She hadn’t expected her to be taking a bath.

Finally, Jing Xiaoyan broke the silence. “Finished your shower?”

Jiang Yumian slightly held her breath, making an extremely, extremely quiet “mhm” sound.

Seeing her so shy, Jing Xiaoyan finally felt a little unwilling to push her. “How about we forget about it?”

Jiang Yumian was startled. Her gaze fixed on Jing Xiaoyan, staring at her shoulder dotted with water droplets. Her throat lightly rolled. Actually, she wasn’t completely out of the mood.

She tightly gripped her phone, her palm burning. She moved her lips. “Older Sister, I…”

She paused, her voice quickly becoming very small again. “I can try.”

As the words fell, Jiang Yumian also lowered her head, not daring to make eye contact with the person in the video.

Jing Xiaoyan swallowed. Hearing Jiang Yumian’s obedient voice, she felt a sudden pang of guilt.

“Mianmian.”

Jiang Yumian looked up at the sound, staring at Jing Xiaoyan on the screen. The image quickly popped into her mind, and her breathing quickened.

Jing Xiaoyan steadied her voice. “Mianmian, lie down.”

Jiang Yumian froze, but quickly obeyed the instruction and lay down, placing the phone face down next to her pillow, nervously listening to the sounds from Jing Xiaoyan’s side.

Every cell in her body was screaming with excitement. Jing Xiaoyan stared intently at the completely black screen, unable to look away.

Although she wanted to continue controlling Jiang Yumian, Jing Xiaoyan still didn’t dare. Reason forced her back. She asked softly, “Can you manage by yourself?”

Jiang Yumian didn’t make a sound.

Jing Xiaoyan stopped talking. She turned off her microphone. She quickly got out of the bathtub, quickly dried herself, and returned to the room. She turned off the light in the room too, quickly lying down on the bed, concentrating on the sound coming from the other side of the phone.

She waited patiently for a few minutes. Heavy breathing came through the phone, not very obvious, but all heard by Jing Xiaoyan.

Jing Xiaoyan gripped her phone. The clear muffled moans were as if Jiang Yumian’s lips were pressed against her ear. She swallowed. She wanted to appear by her side immediately.

The increasingly heavy breaths came through the phone. Jing Xiaoyan’s heart was itching like crazy.

Jiang Yumian slightly arched her body, her breathing somewhat hurried. She thought, just think about Jing Xiaoyan.

Subtle moans sounded in the room. Jiang Yumian quickly let go of her bitten lip, gradually no longer restraining her voice. She was afraid the person on the other side of the phone wouldn’t hear her.

Jing Xiaoyan bit her tongue, her nerves stimulated by the voice full of “desire.” Her body felt like it was swelling.

She wasn’t like Jiang Yumian. She wasn’t shy. All she wanted now was to pass through the screen and fiercely embrace Jiang Yumian.

Continuous sounds entered her ears. Jing Xiaoyan reached out and pinched her earlobe. The room with the lights off was pitch black. Her heart felt like it was burning. She didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

“Older Sister…”

A sudden low cry. Jing Xiaoyan’s entire body trembled. It was a different sound from when she usually called her, like deep in pleasure, with a hint of a sob in her tone.

Jiang Yumian bit her lip again, unconsciously making whimpering sounds from her nasal cavity. She felt a little uncomfortable.

She cried out helplessly, “Jing Xia…”

Jing Xiaoyan took a deep breath.

She was so desperate, so desperate that she was pulling at her own ears, her eyes red from holding back. But she had no way to help. She wanted to help her so much.

Jing Xiaoyan regretted it so much. She should have gone today!

After another agonizing while, the sound from the other side completely stopped.

Jing Xiaoyan tried to turn on her microphone. She was a little nervous.

“Mianmian?”

Jiang Yumian didn’t speak.

After waiting for a few more seconds, Jing Xiaoyan tried to call out again. “Mianmian.”

Jiang Yumian still didn’t make a sound.

She figured she was too shy to talk to her. Thinking this, Jing Xiaoyan also stopped talking, just waiting for her to recover.

Jiang Yumian tidied herself up, her little face flushed. The scene just now echoed in her mind. She fiercely bit her tongue.

Thinking that she had uncontrollably called out Jing Xiaoyan’s name twice, she closed her eyes, quickly picked up her phone, and hung up on Jing Xiaoyan.

After more than ten minutes, she still couldn’t recover, and she didn’t even dare to turn on the light.

In the dark room, the phone with the black screen suddenly lit up. Jiang Yumian stiffened. She picked up her phone to look. It was a message from Jing Xiaoyan.

Sister: “Are you okay?”

Sister: “I miss Mianmian so much.”

Jiang Yumian reached out and covered her face. After struggling for a while, she quickly sent several messages.

Sponge has a baby: “I’m fine.”

Sponge has a baby: “Don’t ask me.”

Sponge has a baby: “And don’t mention it.”

Sponge has a baby: “Nothing happened, nothing happened, nothing happened!”

Jing Xiaoyan chuckled, quickly playing along with her.

Sister: “Didn’t you eat dinner? The bodyguard said you didn’t open the door and leave.”

Sister: “Do you want to order takeout and eat something?”

Seeing Jing Xiaoyan obediently change the subject, Jiang Yumian pulled the blanket over herself, softly snorted, feeling a little wronged.

Sponge has a baby: “I don’t want to eat.”

Sponge has a baby: “I want to sleep.”

Sponge has a baby: “Older Sister, good night. See you tomorrow.”

Jiang Yumian genuinely wanted to sleep. She had made do in the car last night, was busy all day today, and only slept for over an hour after returning to the hotel. Now, after all this ordeal, she was quite tired.

Jing Xiaoyan, of course, went along with her now and quickly replied.

Sister: “Okay, Mianmian, good night. See you tomorrow.”

Jiang Yumian turned off her phone, staring blankly at the ceiling. Although she told Jing Xiaoyan not to mention it, she couldn’t help but think about it herself. It was so embarrassing.

Recalling the time Jing Xiaoyan called her, Jiang Yumian suddenly felt a bit of admiration for Jing Xiaoyan. That thick-skinned person was quite uninhibited.

Jiang Yumian patted her forehead. She felt like she was going to feel inferior if she kept thinking about it. She realized she wasn’t as amazing as Jing Xiaoyan.

Mhm… just couldn’t out-pant her.

Jing Xiaoyan wasn’t doing much better. She was experiencing the feeling of insomnia due to something like this.

Her mind was full of Jiang Yumian’s face. She missed Jiang Yumian so much, so much, so much. She couldn’t sleep at all.

And she also felt very guilty now, especially guilty. She was afraid that once Jiang Yumian knew she had played a trick on her, she wouldn’t have a good outcome.

Although as long as she didn’t say anything, Jiang Yumian wouldn’t know, she couldn’t possibly keep something like this from Jiang Yumian.

Jing Xiaoyan sighed repeatedly. She should go to sleep first. The guillotine would come sooner or later.

She tossed and turned for half the night before falling asleep.

The next day.

Although she didn’t sleep well, Jing Xiaoyan woke up full of energy because she would be able to see Jiang Yumian today!

Their filming would be for two consecutive episodes, so it wouldn’t end that quickly. So, she first went to the company, discussed the arrangements for the next few days with Sister An, and only left after everything was settled.

Both Little Feng and Manager Guan were very busy now. Jing Xiaoyan didn’t plan to find a new assistant for the time being. She thought she would go to the airport quietly by herself this time, but when she arrived at the airport with Little Zhang, two bodyguards were already waiting for her.

Jing Xiaoyan received a message from her mom, knowing it was her arrangement. She didn’t object. If they want to follow, let them follow. Safety first.

On Jiang Yumian’s side, with Yin Xiangyu joining them, the work was completed very quickly. And her location was quite close to the hot spring resort where the show was set, just in the next city, so she arrived earlier than Jing Xiaoyan.

When she arrived, Jing Xiaoyan was still on the plane.

After entering the hot spring hotel chosen by the show, just as Jiang Yumian put down her luggage, her door was knocked on by Su Mumu.

Jiang Yumian opened the door, leaning lazily against the door frame, sounding weak. “Can’t you let me rest for a few minutes first…”

She had just sent a message in the group chat saying she had arrived, and she hadn’t even sat down yet…

Su Mumu didn’t wait for her to drag her feet, reaching out and pulling her. “Oh, come with me.”

Jiang Yumian closed the door and followed her into their room.

Before she could speak, Su Mumu handed her an exquisitely packaged wedding candy box.

Jiang Yumian stared at the large double-happiness character on the box, confused. “What’s going on?”

Chu Qianyuan stood leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, her face full of smugness. “Wedding candy. Mumu’s and mine.”

Jiang Yumian widened her eyes. “You’re married!?”

“No, just engaged.” Su Mumu waved her hand, then quickly took another portion of wedding candy and handed it to Jiang Yumian. “This one is for Jing Xiaoyan. She hasn’t arrived yet. Give it to her for me.”

Engaged!?

Jiang Yumian’s mind was a little chaotic. How did she not hear anything about it!

“How could you secretly get engaged!”

Su Mumu smiled. “I knew you’d say that. Actually, we didn’t have an engagement party. The two families just had a meal together and finalized things.”

Chu Qianyuan couldn’t help but add, “It’s progressing faster than you and Jing Xiaoyan, huh~”

Jiang Yumian recovered. “What? Can you even compare that?”

Chu Qianyuan tsk tsk-ed, shaking her head. “Go ask your Jing Xiaoyan.”

Jiang Yumian was a little confused. “Mhm?”

What did this have to do with Jing Xiaoyan?

Su Mumu looked at Jiang Yumian curiously, nudging her arm. “What? You don’t know? Jing Xiaoyan and Qianyuan have been mocking each other these past few days. Both of them are childishly vying with each other, even comparing how many times they’ve been kissed in a day.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yumian’s mouth twitched. She didn’t think Su Mumu was joking because there was indeed that one time when Jing Xiaoyan kept pestering her for kisses.

She really didn’t know what to say…

Jing Xiaoyan wasn’t here now. Jiang Yumian focused her gaze on the other person. She stared at Chu Qianyuan with a complex expression, unable to help but say, “Sister Qianyuan, you two are so childish…”

She knew how childish her own girlfriend was, but she really hadn’t seen Chu Qianyuan being this… childish.

Chu Qianyuan, who was being mocked, cleared her throat a little awkwardly, mumbling softly, “Anyway, Jing Xiaoyan is still one step behind me in the end.”

Jiang Yumian blinked at Su Mumu, asking with her eyes if Chu Qianyuan was always like this.

Su Mumu shrugged helplessly. She was too embarrassed to tell Jiang Yumian that the two of them had even sat together discussing that kind of thing.

Jiang Yumian retracted her gaze. She cleared her throat. “Then, Sister Qianyuan, when are you and Mumu getting married?”

Chu Qianyuan held up six fingers. “Next June.”

Jiang Yumian suppressed a smile, deliberately looking at Chu Qianyuan, saying seriously, “Oh, then Jing Xiaoyan still won. We’ll be considering marriage right after we finish filming the show.”

Chu Qianyuan was choked by her words. After holding it in for a long time, she said directly, “Then I’m better than her. I’m the one who taught her how to do it.”

Before she could continue, her mouth was quickly covered tightly by Su Mumu.

Su Mumu glared at her. Chu Qianyuan, with her damn competitive spirit, why did she say everything!

Jiang Yumian was in a mess again. Those tormenting methods of Jing Xiaoyan were taught by Chu Qianyuan?

No way…

Su Mumu cleared her throat, quickly explaining, “That’s not true. Qianyuan just sent her a few of those videos to watch a couple of days ago.”

Jiang Yumian looked suspicious. Really? Why didn’t Jing Xiaoyan tell her?

She pondered for two seconds. “I don’t believe it, unless you send it to me to watch.”

Whether it was true or not, she wanted to see it too.
