Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 39
Chapter 39: Calm Down
The weak-willed Jiang Yumian even stopped the car midway and ran to a pharmacy to buy some ointment for Jing Xiaoyan’s hand. Although it would heal without the ointment, applying it would at least speed up the recovery, especially since there was a red mark.
When Jiang Yumian saw her obediently apply the ointment, she finally felt a little better. She considered the ointment her apology for her reckless words, and Jing Xiaoyan applying it meant she accepted.
But Jing Xiaoyan didn’t see it that way. She thought Jiang Yumian bought the medicine out of concern for her, and that she truly wasn’t angry anymore. She was quite happy now.
“Mianmian, I need to change my clothes.” Jing Xiaoyan put the ointment away, looking eagerly at Jiang Yumian, who was driving seriously.
She deliberately hadn’t changed the clothes on her body. She had initially planned to ask Sister Guan to bring her a spare outfit, but ginger is older and spicier. Sister Guan told her to just go out and find Jiang Yumian like this. Why change? Let Jiang Yumian accompany her to buy an outfit, so they could spend more time together.
After she finished filming the program, she discussed it with Sister Guan. Sister Guan realized what she felt for Jiang Yumian and not only didn’t object but also gave her advice.
Jiang Yumian glanced at her while driving.
The alcohol-stained jacket was casually draped over her lap. Her clothes hadn’t been changed, and it definitely wasn’t comfortable to wear.
She wondered where her agent was. Didn’t celebrities usually have spare clothes in their cars?
Jiang Yumian frowned. She thought what Sister An said wasn’t right. That Sister Guan didn’t seem fierce at all; she just seemed quite careless.
“I don’t have spare clothes in my car. It’s not a good idea to go out and buy some now. It’s almost rush hour, and there are too many people. If you don’t mind, you can wear mine for now. My house is not far from here.”
Jiang Yumian pursed her lips. She had only been driving the car for two or three days. It was completely empty, without any decorations, let alone spare clothes. Not even an umbrella or a blanket.
The main thing was that she felt her home was nearby, and she could let Jing Xiaoyan take a shower. After all, being splashed with alcohol, it wouldn’t be comfortable without a wash.
The person sitting next to her didn’t say anything for a long time. Jiang Yumian was a little confused, wondering if she had heard her. She had to say again, “It’s just a few aunties at home. Don’t feel awkward. They might not even talk to you. You’ll feel better after you take a shower and change clothes.”
Jing Xiaoyan was just a little stunned and didn’t react immediately. She was just taken home by Jiang Yumian?
Sister Guan is indeed clever. I’m too inexperienced.
“I’m going!”
Excitement was visible in Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes. It was her first time being taken home by Jiang Yumian.
Hearing the excitement in Jing Xiaoyan’s tone, the corner of Jiang Yumian’s mouth twitched. It seemed she had overthought things. Jing Xiaoyan wouldn’t be embarrassed; she would only be happy.
It made sense. She was taken home by her directly. Of course, she was happy.
Driving near her house, Jiang Yumian looked at the road she walked for half an hour, still grinding her teeth. It was because of that half hour that she decided to drive herself from now on.
She would be going out for dinner later, so she just parked the car by the gate.
Jing Xiaoyan followed Jiang Yumian toward the living room.
But just as they reached the bedroom door and opened it, Jiang Yumian suddenly stopped and didn’t go in. She suddenly remembered that in her room’s walk-in closet, she had the cardboard cutouts of Jing Xiaoyan and herself!
Jing Xiaoyan seized the opportunity to lean closer to her. Her hand had already tapped Jiang Yumian’s back several times. Her eyes were bright, and a subtle smile hung on her lips. “Why aren’t you going in?”
Jiang Yumian took a deep breath, turned around as if nothing was wrong. “It’s nothing, it’s just a bit messy inside. You go take a shower first.”
After saying that, she directly led Jing Xiaoyan toward the bathroom.
Although Jing Xiaoyan obediently followed her, she had a lot of questions. “Do I just go in like this? Empty-handed? Are there towels inside? Will I wear your clothes? What about underwear…”
Jiang Yumian stood at the door, pushed her into the bathroom, her actions not particularly gentle.
She said angrily, “Everything you need for showering is there. Towels and robes too. I’ll get you new clothes.”
Jing Xiaoyan blinked, saying brazenly, “The ones you’ve worn are fine too.”
Jiang Yumian closed the door, ignoring her.
Just as she turned to leave, the person inside came out again.
Jing Xiaoyan called out to her, “Mianmian.”
Jiang Yumian looked back at her. “What is it?”
Jing Xiaoyan smiled. “Just calling you.”
Then she said, “I’m going to take a shower now.”
Looking at the closed door again, Jiang Yumian was stunned in place, then finally couldn’t help but laugh.
Crazy.
Jing Xiaoyan came out wearing a bathrobe. Jiang Yumian was sitting on the bed playing with her phone, waiting for her. The clothes she picked out for her were next to her hand.
Sensing movement, Jiang Yumian looked up. Her gaze fell on her collarbone. A similar scene quickly rushed into her mind. The first time she met Jing Xiaoyan face-to-face, it was like this, but at a hotel. This time, it was in her own room.
Jiang Yumian subtly moved her gaze away, pointing to the clothes beside her. “Wear these. They’re all new.”
She matched the clothes to Jing Xiaoyan’s usual style—a cool, relaxed, and casual look a loose, cool grey sweater and off-white casual pants. To be honest, this was Jiang Yumian’s style in college, so she had plenty of such clothes in her closet.
Jing Xiaoyan only glanced at the clothes and quickly sat down next to Jiang Yumian, close enough to touch.
Jiang Yumian’s gaze paused. Smelling the scent on her body, which was now the same as hers, she couldn’t help but turn to look at her, her peripheral vision catching the red mark on the back of her hand. It seemed more noticeable after the shower.
But her hands are really beautiful.
Jiang Yumian quickly brought her thoughts back. She moved over a little. “You should change. I’ll go out first. Remember to apply the ointment again.”
Jing Xiaoyan’s gaze at her grew more intense. She reached out and inexplicably hugged her arm.
“Hey!”
Jiang Yumian’s face instantly flushed. Jing Xiaoyan wasn’t wearing a bra, and she deliberately snuggled her arm into her embrace. Jiang Yumian tried to pull away but couldn’t, and even rubbed against her a few times.
Jiang Yumian bit her lower lip, turning to look at her. She wanted to call her shameless, but the words that reached her mouth changed. Her tone was a bit aggressive. “What are you doing?”
Jing Xiaoyan reached out and tugged at the belt around her waist, saying in a matter-of-fact tone, “Warming the bed for my sugar daddy.”
She really dared to say that!
Jiang Yumian quickly reached out and pressed her waist. She didn’t dare to look up. She helped her cover the bathrobe that was about to come undone. The tempting skin was completely covered. Then, she clumsily tied the bathrobe’s belt.
“Who aggressively asks to be kept as a mistress?” Jiang Yumian’s neck and face were red. She moved over and avoided eye contact with Jing Xiaoyan. Finally, she stood up and said stiffly before leaving, “I have no such intention.”
Jing Xiaoyan waited obediently for her to finish, then also stood up, reached out, and hugged the person who was about to leave, pressing her back against her embrace.
Her ears, hidden in her hair, were bright red. She was actually bolding herself to hug her. Although being this impulsive was a bit rash, she found that every time she did something like this, such as holding hands, Jiang Yumian would panic and be at a loss, wanting to look at her but not daring to.
“Mianmian.” Her voice was soft and gentle, whispering in Jiang Yumian’s ear. She was deliberately seducing her.
Jiang Yumian knew she was doing it on purpose, but her body felt like it was frozen in place. She wanted to push Jing Xiaoyan away, but she didn’t know where to put her hands.
“Jing Xiaoyan, you’d better calm down.”
Jiang Yumian’s voice trembled. She was really close to tears. Being alone with Jing Xiaoyan in a room felt a bit terrifying. This person had changed drastically after finishing the program recording.
Her throat swallowed. She continued, “Jing Xiaoyan, you said it yourself just a few days ago, you wouldn’t cross the line.”
Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes flickered, and she tightened her arms even more. “But the words you said, I accepted them.”
Jiang Yumian was a little anxious. “That was just a joke!”
She really didn’t want to keep Jing Xiaoyan as a mistress. Why was she so unreasonable!
“You were the one who stood up for me first, and you were the one who said those words first.” Jing Xiaoyan moved her head, rubbing her cheek against Jiang Yumian’s ear. Her tone was full of restraint and forbearance. “I already like you. After knowing all this, how am I supposed to calm down?”
Jiang Yumian’s body trembled at the rub. Her chest felt numb. Her fingers curled and then straightened at her sides.
She licked her lips. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have talked nonsense. Let go of me first.”
Jing Xiaoyan rubbed against her again. “You promise me first.”
Jiang Yumian took a shallow breath, her voice full of helplessness. “Don’t be like this.”
She frowned a little, feeling angry. Why is Jing Xiaoyan so unreasonable, even forcing me to keep her as a mistress?
Jing Xiaoyan shook her head, finally deciding to finish her sentence. “You promise me first: if you seriously consider a relationship, I have to be the first person you think of.”
Jiang Yumian was startled. She had misunderstood.
She nodded vaguely. “Okay, I can do that.”
Although this request was also quite overbearing, it was much better than being forced to keep her as a mistress. Hearing her say this, Jiang Yumian even felt a huge wave of relief.
Seeing her agree so quickly, Jing Xiaoyan curved her lips, her eyes full of cunning amusement. She did all of this on purpose, deliberately disrupting Jiang Yumian’s composure to make her agree to her unreasonable request.
She quickly let go of the person in her arms, reached up to touch her hot ears, and showed a triumphant smile, not hiding it at all.
She held her ear with one hand and secretly looked up at Jiang Yumian, who was also blushing. She said softly, “You scared me…”
Scared who?
Hearing this, Jiang Yumian thought she was hallucinating. Jing Xiaoyan was about to pounce on her. How did she look scared?
Jiang Yumian glared at her. “Weren’t you very bold just now?”
“Actually, no. I was doing it on purpose. I was also very nervous.” Jing Xiaoyan frankly exposed her little scheme just now and emphasized, “Really, my ears are burning hot right now.”
Jiang Yumian’s breath hitched in her chest. She stared at Jing Xiaoyan, annoyed.
Jing Xiaoyan felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. She pointed to the door. “Hurry up and go out. I’m changing clothes. I’ll be embarrassed if you’re here.”
She even pushed Jiang Yumian’s arm.
Jiang Yumian gritted her teeth. “You!”
Jing Xiaoyan didn’t dare to look at her and pushed her toward the door.
Jiang Yumian was pushed out. She slapped the already closed door and yelled, angry, “You used all your eight hundred tricks on me, didn’t you!”
And after using them, she didn’t forget to point it out.
Dog thing!
“Babe, what are you doing?”
Suddenly hearing a voice beside her, Jiang Yumian’s body stiffened. She mechanically turned her head, meeting the bewildered eyes of her mother. She let out a dry laugh. “Mom… why are you back already?”
“I came back because there wasn’t much going on at the company.” Mom blinked and walked toward her, looking puzzled. “Weren’t you not coming home?”
Jiang Yumian cleared her throat. “I must have a reason for coming back.”
Mom looked suspicious. “What were you yelling at the room? What tricks? Who are you hiding inside?”
Jiang Yumian opened her mouth and immediately corrected her. “What do you mean hiding? I brought her back openly. She’s changing clothes.”
Mom rubbed her chin, feigning scrutiny as she looked at Jiang Yumian. “Then why are you so nervous?”
Jiang Yumian forced a steady tone, raising her chin. “Who’s nervous!”
“If you’re not nervous, why are you holding the doorknob?” Mom pointed to the hand tightly gripping the doorknob, full of curiosity. “Who is in your room? Why are you afraid to let me see?”
Jiang Yumian thought for a moment, slowly releasing her hand. She mumbled three words, not even opening her mouth, as if afraid her mother would hear her clearly.
Mom didn’t hear clearly. She frowned. “What did you say?”
Jiang Yumian looked up at the ceiling. Knowing she couldn’t hide it for long, she sighed softly and repeated it in a low voice, “Jing Xiaoyan…”
As if to confirm what she had just said, the person inside conveniently opened the door.
“Mianmian, your clothes fit quite well…” Jing Xiaoyan’s voice cut off the moment she saw Jiang Jiyu.
Mom blinked, startled. “Xiaoyan?”
Jing Xiaoyan’s expression froze. Looking at the equally bewildered person, she was uncharacteristically nervous like Jiang Yumian. She opened her mouth and said awkwardly, “Aunt… Jiang.”
Jiang Yumian stared defensively at her mother, moving to stand in front of Jing Xiaoyan, trying to maintain a smile. “Mom, you just got off work. You should rest well. We’re leaving now.”
Her heart was pounding with unease, afraid her mother would say something shocking or pull Jing Xiaoyan away to keep her.
Seeing Jiang Yumian trying to run away guiltily, Mom’s eyes narrowed. She directly reached out and pushed Jiang Yumian, who was blocking her view, aside.
Jiang Yumian stumbled twice, reaching out to grab Jing Xiaoyan, and cried out innocently, “Mom…”
Jiang Jiyu only glanced at her indifferently, then focused her gaze on Jing Xiaoyan’s face. She blinked slowly, asking with some anxiety, “Mianmian didn’t do anything to you, did she?” If something really happened, how could she explain it to her sister who was overseas…
Jing Xiaoyan looked confused. “Huh?”
