Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 118
Chapter 118: Talking About Feelings
Regarding her aunt running off with Sister An yesterday, Jiang Yumian only felt a chill in her heart. Her aunt didn’t tell her anything!
“Adult business, children shouldn’t interfere.”
Jing Xiaoyan stood by the bed, leaning over, looking at the phone Jiang Yumian was showing her, and read out the message her aunt had sent her, right next to her ear.
She lightly “tsk’ed,” took the phone from Jiang Yumian’s hand, reached out and pinched her face. “It’s noon. Get up quickly.”
Jiang Yumian stretched, extending both her hands toward Jing Xiaoyan.
Jing Xiaoyan looked at her and smiled, leaning down to let her loop her arms around her neck. She slid her hands under her armpits and used force to lift her up.
The blanket slid off Jiang Yumian’s chest. Jing Xiaoyan looked down, her palm resting on the delicate skin. The pressure from her fingertips tightened slightly. She buried her head, her lips lightly touching the side of Jiang Yumian’s neck.
Satisfied, she said, “Put on your pajamas before you go wash up.”
Jiang Yumian tilted her head back, hooking her arms around Jing Xiaoyan’s neck, pressing her cheek against her side profile, tilting her head to hold her tightly, not letting her head leave easily. She hadn’t been kissed enough yet.
Jing Xiaoyan took a light breath, tightening the arm around Jiang Yumian. Her red lips, resting on her neck, moved slightly. Kisses spread softly and densely on the delicate skin. Finally, she forcibly restrained the inner restlessness, lifted her head, and moved away from Jiang Yumian.
“That’s enough. Go wash up quickly. We can kiss again after you’re done.”
Jiang Yumian let go of her neck and nodded. She put on her pajamas and went to the bathroom to wash up. She lazily brushed her teeth, staring blankly into the mirror.
Jing Xiaoyan leaned against the door, waiting for her. She had already washed up herself.
“What are you going to wear for the banquet tomorrow?”
Jiang Yumian’s toothbrushing paused. She turned to look at Jing Xiaoyan for two seconds, then quickly turned back and rapidly rinsed her mouth.
“Don’t worry about what to wear yet. We’ll go find Yin Xiangyu later.”
Find Yin Xiangyu?
To do what?
Jing Xiaoyan frowned slightly. Her back, which was resting against the doorframe, straightened. She immediately stood up straight, staring intently at Jiang Yumian.
She asked whatever came to mind: “Are you still half-asleep? Why are you taking me to see Yin Xiangyu?”
Her tone was sour, not hiding her jealousy at all.
Talking about work with Yin Xiangyu and bringing her along, she didn’t know what she was thinking. Besides, it was a day off; she still wanted to go find Yin Xiangyu. Was that appropriate?
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. “I’m not going!”
Jing Xiaoyan crossed her arms, not waiting for Jiang Yumian to answer, and started sulking immediately.
Jiang Yumian lightly scoffed, continuing to wash her face, not immediately responding to her.
By the time she finished washing her face, the resentment in Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes was almost overflowing.
Jiang Yumian’s face, freshly washed with cold water, was tender and smooth. Her stray hairs on the side of her face were wet and clung to her skin. She boldly rubbed her face against Jing Xiaoyan’s.
The cool skin touched her cheek. Jing Xiaoyan slightly lowered her eyes, secretly glancing at Jiang Yumian, then quickly averted her gaze, reaching out to push her away.
Sulking, she said sarcastically, “Don’t hug me. Instead of hugging me, you should hurry up and find that Yin person. You only have this one day off, so go quickly.”
A smile filled Jiang Yumian’s lazy eyes. She reached out and hooked her arms around Jing Xiaoyan’s neck, pouting and leaning in toward her face, her voice sweet. “Sister, a kiss, please~”
Her lips subtly moved. Jing Xiaoyan secretly swallowed, forcibly moving her gaze away from Jiang Yumian’s lips. Her fingers on her sides curled up, she pursed her lips and turned her head, her willpower finally firm for once.
Jiang Yumian leaned in, kissed her lips twice, and said in a high-pitched voice, with a hint of complaint, “Sister clearly said she’d kiss me after I washed up. How can you break your promise?”
Jing Xiaoyan lifted her chin, pursing her lips to resist the temptation. This little green tea’s tea scent was overflowing; she wouldn’t fall for it.
The two of them were deadlocked for a while. Jiang Yumian twitched her mouth, her voice instantly changing tune. “Jing Xiaoyan, are you going to kiss me or not? If not, don’t stand in the doorway blocking me.”
If soft words didn’t work, she’d use tough ones. There would always be a method that Jing Xiaoyan would concede to.
Jing Xiaoyan stared, looking at Jiang Yumian in disbelief for a second. She changed her expression so quickly?
Jiang Yumian met her gaze. After two seconds, she stepped past her, ready to leave, but was quickly grabbed back by Jing Xiaoyan. Her whole body was pressed against the bathroom door and kissed.
After being kissed, her lips were moist. Jiang Yumian reached out and roughly wiped her mouth. Her fingertip gently rubbed her lips. She felt like her mouth was swollen from the kissing.
Jing Xiaoyan, this petty person, was kissing and biting her, almost biting her to death.
Jiang Yumian opened her mouth and bit her on the chin, saying irritably, “Who is sourer than you? I think you’ve become a lemon tree spirit. I’m taking you to see Yin Xiangyu, and it’s not for dinner or to talk about work.”
Jing Xiaoyan stared, even angrier. “Ha, if you’re not talking about work, what else could you be talking about?”
“What could I possibly be talking about if I’m taking you with me? Am I going to talk about feelings with her in front of you?” Jiang Yumian retorted righteously, and then added cheekily, “I’m not stupid. If I were going to talk about feelings with her, I’d definitely do it secretly behind your back.”
Jing Xiaoyan gritted her teeth, tightening her arms around her. “Jiang Yumian!”
“What!” Jiang Yumian shouted back, not to be outdone, using the same tone.
Her waist was squeezed so tightly she could barely breathe. If it continued, she felt like her waist would break. Jiang Yumian gritted her teeth, actively squeezing into Jing Xiaoyan’s arms. Jing Xiaoyan was forced to step back. The two of them backed out of the bathroom.
Her peripheral vision caught sight of the foot of the bed. Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes darkened. She loosened her arm around her waist and changed her posture, directly lifting Jiang Yumian into a bridal carry.
“You! What are you doing!” Jiang Yumian quickly wrapped her arms around his neck in panic, a little stunned.
Jing Xiaoyan softly scoffed. Under Jiang Yumian’s gaze, she tossed her directly onto the bed, staring down at her. “Nothing. Let’s talk about feelings first, have a good communication.”
Jiang Yumian stared. It was still broad daylight outside. She wanted to do it again?
Her hands desperately pressed down on the hem of her pajamas. She stuck out her foot and pushed against Jing Xiaoyan’s chest, preventing her from having a chance to press down.
She quickly spoke up to warn her: “Don’t mess around. We have to go out later.”
Jing Xiaoyan looked down at the foot pushing against her. Her gaze fell on her exposed ankle. Her warm palm quickly grabbed it. Jiang Yumian’s ankle was a little cool. Just as she was distractedly thinking that Jing Xiaoyan’s hand was quite hot, her leg was suddenly pulled apart.
Jiang Yumian raised her neck, then closed her eyes again. The posture was too suggestive. If she weren’t properly dressed, she might be thinking wrong things.
But at this moment, Jing Xiaoyan was working hard on the path she was imagining. Ignoring the top that Jiang Yumian was holding down, she reached out and directly pulled off Jiang Yumian’s pajama bottoms.
A chill ran between her legs. Jiang Yumian was shocked, trying to close her pushed-apart legs. When it was ineffective, she immediately pulled up the blanket to cover herself, her eyes nervously glancing at Jing Xiaoyan’s face.
Seeing Jing Xiaoyan’s stern face, she didn’t dare to deliberately make her jealous anymore. She quickly opened her mouth, explaining very, very quickly, “I’m going to see Yin Xiangyu to ask her to reimburse us for the cost of our dresses!”
Sensing that Jing Xiaoyan’s hand, which had just reached out, clearly paused, Jiang Yumian exhaled softly and continued to explain in a gentler voice, “Two sets of custom-made dresses cost over a million, and she also has to reimburse us for the bodyguards’ fees.”
Jing Xiaoyan’s frown slightly eased, but she quickly put on a stern face again. Would she lack the money for two dresses and a few bodyguards?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Jiang Yumian quickly said, “I was implicated by her. It was undeserved bad luck. I have to make her bleed a little.”
The main reason was still to understand the specific situation, which was why she scheduled a meeting with Yin Xiangyu.
Her family’s situation was too complicated. If she acted on her own then, she didn’t know if she would accidentally hurt Yin Xiangyu’s own people. She definitely had to get revenge, but she absolutely wouldn’t let Yin Youbing succeed. It was impossible to take down the entire Yin family; that would truly be playing into Yin Youbing’s hands.
Jiang Yumian gripped the blanket, blinking at Jing Xiaoyan to show weakness. “Of course I was joking when I said I would secretly talk about feelings with her. How can you two not trust me? You don’t even have the most basic trust between a couple.”
Being counter-accused by Jiang Yumian, Jing Xiaoyan didn’t panic at all.
“Oh, I know you were joking, but so what?”
“And I’m already jealous. What should we do?” Jing Xiaoyan tilted her head, casually looking at Jiang Yumian. Although her expression showed no change, the hand hidden under the blanket was constantly rubbing. “Will telling me this resolve it?”
Her movement became heavier with her last words. Jiang Yumian’s heart suddenly burned, a little unexpected and exhilarating.
“Ah…” She unconsciously let out a soft cry. Her body arched and then relaxed. Finally, she collapsed onto the bed.
They spent most of the afternoon in absurdity.
Jiang Yumian took a long time to recover after they finished. She weakly reached out for her phone. She had been pressed down and drained by Jing Xiaoyan for so long; she had stood up Yin Xiangyu.
However, the good news was that Yin Xiangyu was unavailable for the appointment. She had replied to her message after she finished washing up, saying she was working out of town and was busy today, but would arrange everything she needed.
Jiang Yumian breathed a sigh of relief. Satisfied, she put her phone on the bedside table, turned around, and looked at Jing Xiaoyan, who was staring blankly.
She propped herself up and leaned into Jing Xiaoyan’s arms. “Are you satisfied now?”
Jing Xiaoyan squeezed her overworked fingers, shaking her head without thinking. She regretted it now.
How did she let Jiang Yumian lie down again…
Ignoring Jing Xiaoyan’s head shake, Jiang Yumian smiled and hugged her arm, immediately praising her. “My wife is so good. To keep me from going out, she actually pressed me onto the bed for three or four hours.”
Making lunch turn into dinner, it was almost dark.
Hearing her words, Jing Xiaoyan turned to look at her, pushing away the arm hugging her with dissatisfaction, and slowly revealed the truth. “I didn’t say you couldn’t go out. You were the one who kept holding onto me and asking for more.”
Jiang Yumian’s ears turned red. She got up and lay on Jing Xiaoyan, quickly pressing her head against her chest. Although she was too embarrassed to look up at her, her mouth didn’t stop talking. “Then did you ever think about why?”
Jing Xiaoyan slightly lowered her gaze, honestly spitting out a few words. “Because you’re lustful.”
Jiang Yumian’s face immediately flushed. She secretly pinched her on the waist, arguing back quietly and awkwardly, “That’s not it. This is deep passion. Mainly, it’s because I like you.”
All the words Jiang Yumian wanted to use to praise how good she was were suddenly stuck.
She felt that Chu Qianyuan’s method was quite embarrassing to use. The main thing was that instead of struggling to praise Jing Xiaoyan, it was faster to just cling to her and seduce her.
Jing Xiaoyan patted her on the lower back, asking softly, “Does it hurt? Is the previous medicine still around?”
Jiang Yumian shook her head, blushing. “It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt much.”
Jing Xiaoyan sat up with her in her arms. “Then go take a bath. I’ll go downstairs and ask Auntie to heat up the food and bring it up for you.”
She wanted to say not to bother, but as soon as Jiang Yumian tried to stand up to put on her shoes, the slightest movement caused an immediate feeling of abnormality between her legs, and she instantly fell back onto the bed.
This state also fell into Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes. She asked her to sit on the bed first. She entered the bathroom herself, ran the bathwater, and only after a few minutes did she carry Jiang Yumian over.
“Soak for a while, and get a massage while you’re at it. I’m going downstairs.”
Jiang Yumian leaned on the edge, looked up at her, and nodded. “Then come back quickly.”
Jing Xiaoyan lightly “mhm’d.” Suddenly remembering something, she walked two steps and then walked back.
A sly smile was mixed in her gaze toward Jiang Yumian. Taking advantage of the fact that she couldn’t hit her in the water, she said cheekily, “Actually, I think it’s really impossible for you to secretly talk about feelings with Yin Xiangyu. But the reason I think this is not because I trust you, it’s because I trust Yin Xiangyu’s character more, even though she’s annoying.”
Jiang Yumian’s head snapped up. She immediately splashed a handful of water at Jing Xiaoyan. “Saying you don’t trust me and still saying it out loud, get out of here!”
Why was Yin Xiangyu’s character good, but hers wasn’t!
Jing Xiaoyan’s pajamas were splashed with water, but it was nothing serious. She raised her hand and casually patted it. After irritating Jiang Yumian, she felt completely refreshed. It was all because Jiang Yumian deliberately irritated her.
She smiled triumphantly, stepping onto the steps and walking in. Under Jiang Yumian’s confused and resentful gaze, she extended her leg and stepped on her smooth shoulder, pushing her further into the water.
She said with a laugh, “You won’t do it. I have a lot of confidence in myself.”
Jiang Yumian controlled the urge to grab her foot and pull her down, glaring at her angrily. “Would it kill you to just say you trust me?”
She just had to be narcissistic and praise herself.
Jing Xiaoyan withdrew her foot. “Mhm, I don’t want you to be too smug.”
Jiang Yumian cupped another handful of water and splashed it at her as she turned to leave.
A large area of her pajamas got wet. Jing Xiaoyan turned back and glared at her. Jiang Yumian glared back, not to be outdone.
“Childish.”
Jing Xiaoyan left those two words and walked away, leaving Jiang Yumian behind to shout back at her.
Holidays were always short.
After this banquet, Jiang Yumian would be busy again, and Jing Xiaoyan would be even busier than her. Besides company matters, she also had a movie to film.
They were on their way now.
When Jing Xiaoyan sighed for the third time, Jiang Yumian finally reacted.
“You’re just accompanying me in. We’ll be out in about twenty minutes.”
It was just a banquet for a certain luxury brand. There was nothing special about it. However, Jing Xiaoyan really didn’t want to come. She had attended several banquets before and couldn’t participate in many; it was mostly just drinking. But thankfully, her identity this time was not an artist but a boss.
Jing Xiaoyan looked down, fiddling with her fingers. She didn’t want to talk to Jiang Yumian. She was already in the car, so she couldn’t not go.
Jiang Yumian grabbed her hand and gently rubbed it in her palm. “Aiya, everyone else has a companion but me. Can you bear that? Besides, aren’t you afraid they’ll drug my drink?”
Jing Xiaoyan pulled her hand back, looking speechless. “Read fewer novels.”
Jiang Yumian poked Jing Xiaoyan’s shoulder, reminding her, “Aren’t you going to establish my persona? Did you forget about the time I was cornered by a bunch of beauties into drinking?”
Of course, Jing Xiaoyan remembered that incident. She thought Jiang Yumian was just networking and getting to know people, but later she was told that she was being harassed by a bunch of ‘flower butterflies.’ She was furious.
That Yin Xiangyu was one of them.
Thinking of this, Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes flashed. “Is Yin Xiangyu coming too?”
Jiang Yumian shook her head. “I don’t know. She said she’d come if she had time.”
Jing Xiaoyan lightly scoffed. She suddenly pulled Jiang Yumian’s hand in front of her. “If you let me trim your nails, I’ll obediently go in with you.”
Her nails had grown a little recently, and she hadn’t manicured them.
Jiang Yumian forced a smile. Heh heh…
She tried hard to pull her hand back. “If you don’t want to go, just stay in the car. If I go alone, I’ll go alone.”
Jing Xiaoyan quickly realized what was happening. She tightly held her hand. She wasn’t willing to let her trim her nails yesterday, and she still wasn’t willing even now.
She finally understood. Jiang Yumian’s calculations were transparent. Chu Qianyuan was absolutely right. Jiang Yumian really wanted to lie down and not get up.
She glared at Jiang Yumian, tightening her fingers around the hand she was holding, fiercely warning her, “Dare to move again, just try.”
