Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 112.1

Chapter 112.1: Wanting a Wife

When they found Ke Ke, the family was already getting ready to eat. Ke Ke’s mother warmly invited them to join, but Jiang Yumian politely refused and just left after saying hello to Ke Ke with Jing Xiaoyan.

However, they hadn’t walked far when Ke Ke suddenly ran up and hugged Jing Xiaoyan’s legs.

“Jiejie! Jiejie!”

Jing Xiaoyan turned around, looking down at the smiling Ke Ke who looked up at her. Her clear eyes seemed to sear Jing Xiaoyan, leaving her speechless. She could only smile at her.

Jiang Yumian bent down and patted her head. “What’s wrong?”

Ke Ke hugged Jing Xiaoyan’s leg with one hand and Jiang Yumian’s leg with the other, bringing the two of them close. She happily shook her head. “Mommy said you are big stars! I came to hug your thighs. I want to grow up to be this beautiful too!”

Her words made them laugh and feel helpless. Jing Xiaoyan stood still, letting her hug her. She was such a face-lover even at this age.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Then do you think I’m prettier or she’s prettier?”

The answer to this question was something Jiang Yumian had told Jing Xiaoyan when she was little, and Jing Xiaoyan still remembered it now.

So, she wanted to ask a child to see if Jiang Yumian had only said that to please her back then.

When Jiang Yumian heard her question, her hand was already pinching Jing Xiaoyan’s face. “You’re too mean. You’re giving the child a hard time. I’ll answer for her. Of course, you’re prettier. You’re a fairy.”

Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes slightly brightened. “A fairy?”

Jiang Yumian nodded, her tone sour. “Yes, Ke Ke only calls me ‘pretty Jiejie,’ but she calls you ‘fairy Jiejie.'”

Ke Ke smiled and nodded, balancing the scales perfectly. “Both Jiejies are fairies, but the prettiest is Mommy.”

Hearing her say that, the two of them exchanged smiles.

Jiang Yumian rubbed her head. “Then Ke Ke’s Mommy is definitely the prettiest.”

After chatting with Ke Ke for a while, Ke Ke’s mother came out to look for her. After they left, Jiang Yumian also pulled Jing Xiaoyan to leave.

Jing Xiaoyan reached out and wrapped her arms around Jiang Yumian’s neck, pulling her closer to her embrace. Her lips were pressed against Jiang Yumian’s ear as she whispered, “Although I’m prettier than you, you are the prettiest in my heart.”

The smugness in her tone made Jiang Yumian hesitant to believe her sweet talk. Jiang Yumian turned her head and smiled at her. “Yes, Ke Ke said her Mommy is the prettiest, and you also said I’m the prettiest. Roughly speaking, I’m your Mom. Mommy loves you.”

The arm resting on her shoulder pressed down hard, then tightened quickly. Jiang Yumian’s head was locked in Jing Xiaoyan’s embrace, forcing her to walk with a bent back.

“Hey!” Jiang Yumian patted the arm locking her neck, complaining loudly, “Jing Xiaoyan, let go of me!”

Jing Xiaoyan let out a soft “humph,” looking down at her. “What did you call me?”

Jiang Yumian gritted her teeth. She didn’t care if Jing Xiaoyan could see it or not, and quickly forced out a smile, fawningly calling, “Wife~”

The arm around her neck loosened quickly. Jing Xiaoyan let her straighten up, but her arm remained draped over her neck.

“Kiss me. I’ll forgive you after you kiss me.” Jing Xiaoyan pointed at the side of her face closest to Jiang Yumian, pushing her luck.

Jiang Yumian almost rolled her eyes. Who needs her forgiveness?

“No. There are fans filming outside, and there’s a camera in front. What if people see it? We’ll kiss when we get back tonight.” She logically refused, pointing at the people who had already gotten into the car and were watching them.

Jing Xiaoyan leaned half her body against Jiang Yumian’s back, feeling this was more intimate than holding hands. She tilted her head and pressed it against Jiang Yumian’s face.

“Just a kiss on the cheek. What’s wrong with two girls kissing on the cheek?”

Her tone was justified, not at all worried about what would happen if they were filmed and posted online.

Jiang Yumian listened to her words, raised a finger, and slowly curled it down in front of Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes, correcting her previous statement. “It’s, two gay girls.”

Jing Xiaoyan let out an “Aiya,” acting childishly, unwilling to talk to Jiang Yumian anymore. She pulled her neck towards her own face, insisting on a kiss.

Jiang Yumian looked at her approaching cheek with a smile and quickly leaned in for a quick kiss.

The soft touch on her face stimulated Jing Xiaoyan’s nerves. It was brief, and her heart trembled slightly.

She wanted to go back to the hotel.

A sudden commotion could be heard from afar. Jiang Yumian followed the sound and saw that the fans who had been paying attention to them had indeed seen it. Just as she looked over, a burst of cheers erupted from that direction.

Jing Xiaoyan gasped. “They are amazing. They can see clearly from so far away.”

Jiang Yumian let out an “Mhm.” “You insisted on me kissing you. Their massive cameras are not just for show. They probably filmed it very clearly.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Xiaoyan kissed her face. Jing Xiaoyan’s voice was fast. “Kiss back! Kiss back! Let’s go quickly.”

This time, not only the fans saw it clearly, but also the people in the car. When they got into the car, everyone looked at them with a gossipy curiosity.

Luo Cheng turned to look at the two who had already sat down and couldn’t help but tease, “You two are not subtle at all, are you?”

Jiang Yumian was playing with her phone, raising an eyebrow. She deliberately pretended to be clueless, asking knowingly, “What’s wrong?”

Luo Cheng twitched her mouth, knowing she was being intentional, so she just moved on from the topic. She directly said, “I’m saying you two need to set up a separate table just for me at your wedding.”

Since everyone in the car knew about them, it was okay to talk about it.

As soon as she said this, the others also chimed in.

Jiang Yumian’s gaze paused on her phone screen. She looked up at Luo Cheng. “Sure. Just remember to prepare two wedding gifts.”

Before anyone could object, Jing Xiaoyan quickly added, “You have to give a gift for my wedding. Aren’t you going to give one for Mianmian’s wedding?”

Jiang Yumian quickly took over, sounding pitiful and pretending to be wronged. “Am I not your good friend anymore?”

Everyone collectively rolled their eyes. These two were so annoying, talking in sync.

While everyone was chatting, Jiang Yumian found a Bluetooth earphone from somewhere. After connecting it to her phone, she placed one in Jing Xiaoyan’s ear and wore the other herself.

Jing Xiaoyan obediently tilted her head, adjusted the earphone herself, and looked down at Jiang Yumian’s phone. There were no cameras in the car this time, so she was more unrestrained, her face almost touching Jiang Yumian’s.

She watched Jiang Yumian look for music. When Jing Xiaoyan saw her skip over her own songs, a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She slid a finger across the screen, went back to the previous page, and clicked on Jiang Yumian’s song.

Having spent so much time together, she knew Jiang Yumian was shy and didn’t dare to let her listen to her songs. Others could, but not her.

Perhaps it was due to some psychological reason: Jiang Yumian was nervous and lacked confidence about the person she liked paying attention to another side of her, but it was mostly shyness.

But Jing Xiaoyan had actually listened to them many, many times already.

Before the prelude could start, Jiang Yumian quickly paused the music. She let out a huge sigh of relief and glared at Jing Xiaoyan with a displeased look.

She warned her without any real threat, “If you’re not going to behave, give me back the earphone.”

Jing Xiaoyan sighed softly. “But I only like yours.”

She was genuinely telling the truth. Jiang Yumian had seen her playlist, so it was hard to refute her now.

Jiang Yumian lightly blinked, took the earphone from her own ear, and put it in Jing Xiaoyan’s ear. If she insisted on listening, she wouldn’t object.

She resumed the playback, not daring to look at Jing Xiaoyan.

Jing Xiaoyan raised her hand to brush the strands of hair from Jiang Yumian’s face, her thumb brushing against her burning hot ear. She slightly looked up, staring intently at Jiang Yumian’s pink ear.

Although Jiang Yumian was looking at the entertainment news on her phone, her mind was entirely on Jing Xiaoyan. She didn’t absorb anything written on the screen. She was just hoping Jing Xiaoyan would stop looking at her.

Jing Xiaoyan subconsciously curled her finger and flicked Jiang Yumian’s earlobe, quickly noticing Jiang Yumian’s sensitive flinch, and her body trembling slightly.

Her finger paused briefly. Jing Xiaoyan pursed her lips, her eyes darkening. Her thumb pressed back onto the earlobe and gently rubbed it.

Jiang Yumian’s breathing hitched. Her finger resting on the phone screen was trembling. She subtly swallowed, then quickly clenched her fist, masking her abnormality that she knew had already been noticed.

She turned to look at Jing Xiaoyan, her eyes filled with an unspoken emotion, as if accusing Jing Xiaoyan of excessive teasing.

But Jing Xiaoyan didn’t stop because she looked over. Instead, she was attracted by her gaze and became even bolder.

She reached out and shielded Jiang Yumian’s ear with her hand, as if to whisper a secret to her. She pressed her face directly against Jiang Yumian’s, not giving her time to pull back. Her lips quickly enclosed the earlobe.

A deliberate lick from the warm, moist tip of her tongue sent a shiver through Jiang Yumian. Her hand gripping Jing Xiaoyan’s leg instantly tightened. The breath she exhaled trembled from the depths of her nasal cavity. A tingling sensation spread throughout her body.

Jing Xiaoyan was truly too bold. She dared to tease her in this kind of setting.

Jiang Yumian’s breathing was extremely unstable. She clenched the ma mian pleated skirt on Jing Xiaoyan’s leg, her body relaxing.

Fortunately, the ambiguous tickling near her ear only lasted for a few brief seconds, though those few seconds were enough to nearly dismantle Jiang Yumian’s composure.

Jing Xiaoyan mercifully let her go, reached out to smooth her hair, and then sat properly, giving Jiang Yumian a reassuring look. No one would have seen her action just now, she had shielded it with her hand.

Jiang Yumian’s heart was racing wildly, her cheeks flushed with color. Although her expression didn’t change much, her heart felt utterly melted.

She was quickly pulled into Jing Xiaoyan’s embrace, leaning against her.

Jiang Yumian released the ma mian skirt, her fingers resting lightly on Jing Xiaoyan’s leg. Her palm was burning hot. Why was Jing Xiaoyan teasing her like this!

Everyone was tired today. Most were sitting in the car with their eyes closed, resting. Since the two of them were sitting in the back, no one noticed their movements.

After about a few minutes, when Jiang Yumian had mostly recovered, Jing Xiaoyan’s hand on her back patted her waist, gently reminding her, “Your volume is off.”

Jiang Yumian froze for a few seconds. Her blank mind quickly realized what Jing Xiaoyan meant.

She looked at her other hand, which was gripping her phone tightly. Her fingers were pressed against the edge of the phone, clutching it so tightly that her fingertips were white. She had accidentally pressed the volume button. She hadn’t noticed this due to her nervousness, and had accidentally turned off the sound.

She suddenly turned to look at Jing Xiaoyan. She wondered if Jing Xiaoyan had laughed at her internally when she heard the sound in her ear gradually fade.

Catching the shame and annoyance in Jiang Yumian’s eyes, Jing Xiaoyan slowly blinked, silently reached out and pressed the volume button, increasing the volume for herself, then withdrew her hand and quickly closed her eyes, playing dead.

Jiang Yumian took a deep breath, clenched her fist, and punched her on the shoulder.

That bastard, sleeps right after teasing her!

But Jing Xiaoyan couldn’t do anything else besides sleep either. This was a public place. The more Jiang Yumian thought about it, the angrier she got. She was teased by Jing Xiaoyan today, so she made a note of it in her mental notebook.

And Jiang Yumian quickly retaliated. She believed in getting revenge immediately.

Jing Xiaoyan let out a yelp. She covered her ears, frantically taking off the earphone. Jiang Yumian had turned the volume up to maximum! It almost deafened her!

Jing Xiaoyan glared. “You!”

Jiang Yumian raised an eyebrow. “What about me?”

Jing Xiaoyan was speechless. She angrily rubbed her ear.

Seeing her stumped, Jiang Yumian curled her lips, a hint of smugness in her eyes. She felt satisfied.

“Will you still mess around next time?” She lifted her chin toward the earphone in Jing Xiaoyan’s hand, reminding her of the consequences of messing around.

Jing Xiaoyan scoffed. “Still dare.”

She was not intimidated at all.

Jiang Yumian irritably pinched her face, but didn’t pinch hard. She released her after two gentle squeezes, lowered the volume, and gestured for Jing Xiaoyan to put the earphone back on.

Jing Xiaoyan was slightly hesitant, looking at Jiang Yumian with distrust for two seconds. Finally, after Jiang Yumian glared at her, she reluctantly put the earphone on.

She silently prayed that her girlfriend would be considerate of her ears. Then, she pulled one of Jiang Yumian’s hands into her embrace and finally closed her eyes to sleep.

Jiang Yumian wasn’t as malicious as she thought. She had already moved on and was scrolling through entertainment news on her phone with her free hand, looking for any new gossip.

She was shocked by what she saw. Before she could even open the trending topics, she was startled by a huge number of private messages that had suddenly appeared, and then she saw gossip about herself. However, it had already been suppressed.

It wasn’t gossip about her relationship with Jing Xiaoyan, but a scoop about the sasaeng fan who broke into her hotel room on the day she traveled for work.

Jiang Yumian frowned slightly. There was a lot of speculation online. Some bloggers were even spreading rumors that she “might” have been sexually assaulted by the sasaeng, or less seriously, that the sasaeng had installed a camera in her room and taken pictures.

Jiang Yumian scrolled through the concerned messages from her fans in her Weibo DMs. She felt a warmth in her heart, but quickly closed it.

It should have been her mother intervening, but her mother wasn’t managing her anymore. This kind of matter should have been left for her to resolve herself.

Jiang Yumian was puzzled. She clicked on the trending topics and saw a “hot” tag next to the first one, which was a statement from her own entertainment company.

Jiang Yumian was taken aback. She turned her head to look at the person next to her. No wonder she was preoccupied earlier.

She pursed her lips, withdrew her gaze from Jing Xiaoyan’s face, and clicked on the hashtag. The company’s official Weibo statement quickly appeared on the screen.

Star Talk Entertainment V: Regarding online rumors, we do not need to self-verify @JiangYumianV. Based on the principle of he who asserts must prove, we have screenshotted and saved the false statements made by netizens who maliciously exaggerate factual disputes, and they have been submitted to the company’s legal team for processing.

Jiang Yumian blinked. There were many screenshots attached underneath. They were all posts from bloggers with over five thousand views and five hundred reposts. So the company was sending out lawyer’s letters to sue them one by one?

Another trending topic was announced simultaneously: Jing Xiaoyan’s Weibo account was verified as the Chairman of Star Talk Entertainment, and it was verified just today. She had reposted this Weibo, so it was clearly her doing, not her mother’s.

Right. Her mother was usually too lazy to deal with these rumor-spreading netizens and went straight for the people behind the scenes, which is why these netizens were so bold.

But Jiang Yumian had a petty girlfriend, and this time, they had encountered a tough opponent.

Jiang Yumian paused the music, turned off her phone, and leaned sideways against the seat, staring intently at Jing Xiaoyan.

When the music stopped, Jing Xiaoyan thought Jiang Yumian was up to no good again. She secretly opened one eye to see what she was up to, only to be met directly with the eyes that were almost pressed against hers.

Caught in the act, Jing Xiaoyan simply opened both eyes and faced Jiang Yumian. Before she could speak, her mouth was quickly kissed.

Jiang Yumian’s sudden move startled Jing Xiaoyan. She quickly glanced at the people in front, only relaxing when she realized no one was paying attention. Who was the bold one now!

She hadn’t dared to kiss her on the mouth so openly!

But suddenly being kissed, she was still overjoyed, just a little stunned.

Jing Xiaoyan licked her lips, tugged on Jiang Yumian’s cloak, and lowered her head with an embarrassed smile, whispering shyly to Jiang Yumian, “What are you doing? That’s so embarrassing…”

Seeing her act so convincingly, the amusement in Jiang Yumian’s eyes deepened. She looked at Jing Xiaoyan with a smiling gaze, quickly rubbing her forehead against Jing Xiaoyan’s forehead without saying anything.

Her enthusiasm made Jing Xiaoyan’s heart itch. Jing Xiaoyan inhaled deeply, smelling Jiang Yumian’s scent, and quickly embraced Jiang Yumian, who willingly leaned into her embrace.

She was so proactive, it almost made her feel overwhelmed.

Jiang Yumian undid the cloak on her body and covered both herself and Jing Xiaoyan with it. The staff said the drive would take two hours, so they could sleep for a while.

Chu Qianyuan was sitting diagonally in front of them. When she turned around to grab something, her peripheral vision caught the sight of the two hugging each other.

Seriously, were they comfortable sleeping like that?

She didn’t understand, but she took out her phone.

She opened the camera, adjusted the angle, took two pictures of the two people sleeping under the cloak, and then sent them to Jing Xiaoyan.

Chu Qianyuan: “Mumu and I aren’t this affectionate.”

Chu Qianyuan: “I’m curious, are you two really comfortable sleeping like this?”

The truth was, it wasn’t very comfortable.

Jiang Yumian sat up, clutching her waist which had been turned sideways for too long. She hadn’t been able to sleep deeply.

Sensing her movement, Jing Xiaoyan also opened her eyes, pulled down the cloak covering them, and reached into the storage pouch in front to grab a bottle of water and twist open the cap.

Jiang Yumian took the water Jing Xiaoyan handed her, drank a small sip, and handed it back to her.

She whispered, “How much longer until we arrive…”

Jing Xiaoyan was looking at her phone, typing a reply to Chu Qianyuan’s message, not noticing the water.
