Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 110.2

Chapter 110.2: Unrestrained

Because it was her personal fan community, there weren’t many comments. Jing Xiaoyan scrolled down and found some comments that had been suppressed by the controlled comments.

“Where did these people with unclear motives come from to cause trouble? Do they think we haven’t woken up yet in the early morning?”

“Speechless. A flurry of malicious comments at 4 AM. Whose trolls are so unethical, causing trouble while people are sleeping?”

“Who is the opponent? Why are they such cowards? Don’t they dare to fight fairly head-on?”

“What’s wrong with posting about us? My Jie has many friends. Who exactly is jealous?”

Jing Xiaoyan controlled the urge to like their comments, immediately backed out, and tried to calm down. If she liked them, things would really get messy.

After reading the fans’ comments, she finally realized that the previous troublemaking comments really did resemble bots.

She sent a message to Sister Guan, asking her to investigate, and then put away her phone.

She took the clothes Fu Leyi gave her to change into. This time, the program crew prepared special outfits, and Jiang Yumian and she were not together.

Fu Leyi reminded her, “Hurry up. I don’t have time. I still need to do makeup for others.”

Jing Xiaoyan: “Got it. Hurry up and train a few more apprentices.”

Hearing her say that, Fu Leyi couldn’t help but sigh, her heart sinking. The apprentice she was training was currently in her room, glued to her phone and intensely shipping the CP. She wanted to bring her over to let her learn and help out, but she came over secretly and couldn’t be discovered by Su Mumu.

The program crew prepared a dark, heavy ma mian pleated skirt for Jing Xiaoyan. Coupled with the makeup Fu Leyi did for her, she looked very ancient.

Jing Xiaoyan originally wanted to find Jiang Yumian, but before she took a few steps, she was led away by a staff member who said Jiang Yumian had already gone ahead.

Sitting in the car, she looked down at her clothes, recalling the character information from yesterday. The theme this time seemed to be related to the martial arts world.

The car drove to the vicinity of the racecourse. Before she even got out of the car, she saw Jiang Yumian not far away, wearing a flamboyant red cloak.

There were many fans here, and Jing Xiaoyan was led inside immediately after getting out of the car. She stopped when she reached a brown horse.

“Do I have to ride the horse?”

Although Jing Xiaoyan asked this, she already knew the answer. The staff had asked her on the way if she knew how to ride a horse.

Actually, she had been a trending topic for riding a horse while filming before. She was just asking to confirm.

The staff member nodded quickly. “Yes, yes. You’ll make your entrance on the horse, and we’ve prepared an antique gold bow and arrow for you. Won’t it be cool when you ride past Jiang Yumian?”

They had planned this overnight and brought Jiang Yumian over early.

Jing Xiaoyan blinked. What he said seemed very reasonable.

She nodded. “Let’s go, let’s go. I just saw Mianmian standing there alone. Let’s go keep her company.”

Jiang Yumian was indeed standing there. She was brought here inexplicably, and none of the others had arrived yet.

The racecourse was sparsely populated, but there were many fans in the distance, though they couldn’t enter.

Jiang Yumian’s role was that of a princess, and her makeup today was exquisite. She pulled her cloak around her, feeling bored and wondering why Jing Xiaoyan hadn’t arrived yet…

“Mom! Mom! Pretty Jiejie!”

Suddenly hearing a sweet, childish voice, Jiang Yumian turned her head. A little girl was a few meters away from her, pulling her mother and wanting to come over to her. She had a little bun tied on top of her head.

Jiang Yumian raised an eyebrow and smiled, waving to them. Her voice was sweet. “You’re pretty too.”

The cameraman following her looked over and quickly introduced her. “That’s the owner’s wife here, and the one complimenting you is her daughter.”

The owner’s wife smiled apologetically at Jiang Yumian, reaching out to stroke her daughter’s head, her face blushing. She looked down and playfully scolded her. “Be reserved! You’re always so happy when you see a pretty Jiejie!”

Jiang Yumian’s smile deepened. She was asking a two or three-year-old girl to be reserved. She wondered if the girl could understand.

She stepped forward. Before she could speak, she saw the little girl holding her mother’s hand, looking up and smiling at her mother. “Mommy is the prettiest, but can I play with the pretty Jiejie first today?”

Jiang Yumian’s eyes widened. She couldn’t stop smiling. Are kids this sweet now?

The little girl’s mother laughed helplessly, feeling a little embarrassed looking at Jiang Yumian who walked over. She explained to her, “She’s always like this. She runs after any pretty Jiejie she sees, and I can’t stop her.”

Jiang Yumian smiled and shook her head. “It’s fine.”

She then looked down at the little girl and whispered, “There will be an even prettier Jiejie coming later.”

She felt an itch to reach out. She gently touched the little girl’s hair bun. Jing Xiaoyan also had a small hair bun in her childhood photos. It was so cute.

The little girl looked up at her, her eyes shining. “Really!?”

Jiang Yumian couldn’t squat down easily, so she bent down, smiling as she looked at her, and spoke in her tone. “Really! What’s your name?”

The little girl wasn’t shy at all. “Everyone at home calls me Ke Ke. Jiejie, can I play with you and your friends?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ke Ke’s mother patted her head again. “Jiejies have to work. Don’t go disturbing them.”

Before Jiang Yumian could comfort her, Ke Ke stomped her foot, let go of her mother’s hand, crossed her arms, and turned her back, pouting in a childish voice. “I won’t talk to you anymore!”

Her mother sighed, smiled helplessly at Jiang Yumian, bent down, and gently poked her daughter’s head. “Are you mad already?”

Ke Ke took a step forward, deliberately widening the distance from her mother in defiance.

Jiang Yumian’s eyes slightly brightened. So cute.

She and the owner’s wife exchanged a look, both smiling helplessly.

Ke Ke waited for several seconds. When her mother didn’t ask her again, she couldn’t help but turn her head. All her emotions were written on her face. She wanted to complain about why her mother wasn’t coaxing her, but her mother was deliberately pretending not to notice. She also had her pride, so she held back, forcefully hummed, and walked one step further away.

Jiang Yumian tilted her head. Why did she feel like this was similar to Jing Xiaoyan? Thinking of something, her eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This was truly no different from Jing Xiaoyan running out in a fit of pique and waiting for her to come and coax her. Both were so certain they would be coaxed.

Attracted by Jiang Yumian’s laughter, Ke Ke secretly turned her head to look at her. She wanted to play with her, but then remembered she was supposed to be angry, so she held back.

Her mother had long observed her movements and sighed, patting her head. “How about this? I’ll stay here with you and watch the Jiejies work, okay?”

She had originally tried to stop her daughter from coming out today, but the little girl was too clever and ran over by herself. By the time she found her, it was already too late.

However, the program crew had said they could watch from the side, which was why she hadn’t rushed to take her away.

Ke Ke’s temper came and went quickly. She also knew not to disturb others’ work, so she just nodded. “Okay…”

Jiang Yumian couldn’t help but laugh, reaching out to tap her shoulder. “Jiejie hasn’t started working yet. I can play with you for a while.”

“Yes! Yes!”

Jiang Yumian smiled. So easy to coax. Jing Xiaoyan was also easy to coax.

“Ah! Mom! Another pretty Jiejie is here! Mom! Mom, look! A fairy!” Ke Ke jumped up and down in excitement, pointing and yelling at Jing Xiaoyan, who was riding a horse towards them.

Jiang Yumian followed the direction she was pointing. Jing Xiaoyan’s smiling eyes collided directly with her heart. The child wasn’t lying. She was indeed a fairy, her fairy.

She couldn’t take her eyes off her, but Jing Xiaoyan didn’t ride over, probably because of the child nearby, not daring to get too close on the horse.

Jiang Yumian turned her head to look at Ke Ke. “I’m sorry, Ke Ke. Jiejie has to go to work now.”

She ran off without looking back, heading straight for Jing Xiaoyan. That cool and dashing Jing Xiaoyan was back.

Jiang Yumian felt that all of Jing Xiaoyan’s previously lost image was completely restored with this outfit.

Just as Jiang Yumian stopped, Jing Xiaoyan smiled at her, twirling the bow in her hand, then gently hooking Jiang Yumian’s chin with it, precisely.

“Do I look good?”

Jiang Yumian swallowed, naturally tilting her head up to look at her. “Beautiful.”

Jing Xiaoyan’s smile deepened. She let out a slightly smug “humph.” “Do you want to come up?”

Jiang Yumian looked at the obediently standing horse. “Can I?”

“I asked. We can.” Jing Xiaoyan took back the bow in her hand, turned and handed it to a staff member on the side, then reached out her hand to Jiang Yumian. “Come up.”

Jiang Yumian took her hand, and with the help of the staff, she got onto the horse. She had never ridden a horse before, and was a bit scared at first, but with Jing Xiaoyan holding her, her heart slowly settled down.

Jing Xiaoyan held her, her lips close to her ear, softly comforting her. “We’ll just walk slowly. There are safety personnel around. It’s okay.”

Jiang Yumian nodded, her attention quickly focusing on Ke Ke, who was waving at them.

Jiang Yumian smiled and waved back at her.

Jing Xiaoyan looked over, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “Your new friend?”

Jiang Yumian tried to turn her head, smiling. “Yeah. I like making friends with little kids like you the most.”

Jing Xiaoyan slowly blinked. “Hmm?”

What did she mean by ‘little kids like you’?

She secretly exerted force with the hand holding Jiang Yumian, forcing Jiang Yumian to slap her hand.

Jiang Yumian cleared her throat. “I meant you’re cute.”

Jing Xiaoyan was half-skeptical. Finally, she loosened her arm, rode the horse a little closer, but not too close. She simply greeted the little girl, got acquainted, and then left.

After giving Jiang Yumian a short experience, they dismounted when the others arrived.

Before heading to the designated filming location, Jiang Yumian specifically ran over to say goodbye to Ke Ke.

Watching her and her mother interact, Jiang Yumian automatically substituted herself, and when she came back, holding the waiting Jing Xiaoyan, she couldn’t help but blurt out, “Mommy loves you.”

Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes widened. “?”

She was so angry at Jiang Yumian’s words that her eyes flashed. “Do you dare to say that again?”

When did her potential to be a ‘Mommy fan’ resurface?

Jiang Yumian had satisfied her craving to say it and quickly looked at Jing Xiaoyan with a flattering smile. “I didn’t say anything. I said I love you.”

Jing Xiaoyan crossed her arms, sizing up Jiang Yumian with a scrutinizing gaze. She hummed softly, glanced at the people walking towards them, and hummed again.

She lifted her chin, acting arrogant. “I won’t hold it against you for now.”

Jiang Yumian nodded. “Mhm, mhm. You’re the easiest to coax.”

Jing Xiaoyan’s body trembled, and she slightly frowned. What was that tone? Was she coaxing her like a child?

She opened her mouth, unable to hold back. “What are you doing?”

Why had she suddenly become so strange?

Jiang Yumian held back her laughter, deliberately teasing her. “Nothing, I just suddenly felt a surge of maternal love.”

They were all little girls who needed coaxing.

Hearing the words “maternal love,” Jing Xiaoyan’s face fell. She didn’t want to talk to Jiang Yumian and turned to leave.

She had been trying hard from the start to break the cute persona, but it hadn’t worked at all. All her other personas were gone, and only Jiang Yumian continued to think she was cute.

Jiang Yumian’s face quickly blossomed into a radiant smile. Looking at Jing Xiaoyan’s retreating back, the amusement in her eyes deepened.

Jing Xiaoyan walked very slowly, fearlessly waiting for Jiang Yumian to catch up and coax her. She knew Jiang Yumian would definitely come to coax her. But she was almost in front of the cameraman, and Jiang Yumian still hadn’t caught up.

She couldn’t help but look back.

Jiang Yumian had already softened her steps and walked behind her. In the time it took for her to turn her head, she was already close.

Jing Xiaoyan quickly turned her head back, pretending not to see her.

“I was just joking.” Jiang Yumian hooked her hand, walked two steps forward to be beside her, and smiled sweetly. “I like you very much.”

Startled by Jiang Yumian’s sudden display of enthusiasm in front of the camera, Jing Xiaoyan pointed at the cameraman in front of them. “The camera is rolling.”

Jiang Yumian glanced at it too. “It’s fine. It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Jing Xiaoyan’s heart skipped a beat, her long eyelashes fluttering. She pursed her lips. “You said that.”

Jiang Yumian was about to nod, but thinking of Jing Xiaoyan’s personality, she hesitated for two seconds and said, “As for you, you still need to be careful.”

Although she had thought about not hiding it anymore in front of the camera, she really couldn’t grasp what Jing Xiaoyan might do. She was afraid Jing Xiaoyan would become increasingly reckless. She was an uncontrollable factor.

“I don’t care. You continue with your maternal love.”

Jing Xiaoyan squeezed the hand she was holding hard. As long as Jiang Yumian could openly show that she liked her, she didn’t care if it was maternal love.

“Stop being affectionate and hurry up!” Lin Xi shouted at the two of them. She and Xie Yunhuan had been watching them for a while now. They were just holding hands and wouldn’t come over.

When the two walked over hand-in-hand, Lin Xi’s gaze swept over their clasped hands. “You two are truly bold.”

They really weren’t afraid of their fans breaking down, were they?

Xie Yunhuan couldn’t help but speak up for them. “What are you afraid of? They’re not idols.”

Lin Xi nodded. True. One had retired from the industry, and the other treated acting as a hobby. They kept their work and private lives very separate. No one could really interfere with them dating.

Jiang Yumian cleared her throat. “Let’s go quickly.”

“Oh, right. Where did you run off to? Boss Yin was looking for you just now.”

Lin Xi recounted what happened before Jiang Yumian ran off to see Ke Ke. Yin Youbing also frequented this racecourse and came with the program crew today, saying she wanted to talk to Jiang Yumian.

Jiang Yumian nodded, not giving it much thought. “She’s not in a hurry, is she? If not, let’s go record the show first.”

Lin Xi froze for a moment. “She didn’t seem too urgent.”

Jing Xiaoyan interjected, “Then let’s ignore her.”

Lin Xi: “…”

She was quite petty. The woman just wanted to talk to her girlfriend, and she was already getting jealous.

Seeing Lin Xi’s expression, Jing Xiaoyan snorted. “Is there a problem?”

Jiang Yumian answered for Lin Xi. “You’re right. No problem.”

Lin Xi: “…”
