Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Going Out

When Jiang Yumian arrived at the presidential suite, she was still in a daze. Her good sister had directly upgraded her to the highest-class room.

There were only two presidential suites in this hotel…

She hadn’t thought that simply sending a picture would expose her location. It was one thing to be exposed, but the main thing was that she discovered her good sister knew about this hotel and had even stayed there!

Doesn’t that mean they could very well be in the same city?

Jiang Yumian’s mind was a mess. Would the day ever come when they had to meet?

If it were a real sugar baby situation, she would definitely not meet. But it seemed like they were dating?

“Forget it. I’m not thinking about it anymore.”

Jiang Yumian flopped onto the sofa. Although it wasn’t as comfortable as the one at home, it was still very soft!

She let out a contented sigh. Her rich lady sister’s love for her must be true!

She’s just too thoughtful. I wonder what she sees in me.

Jiang Yumian cleared her mind for a bit, but then she went right back to the same question. Finally, she concluded that yes, they were definitely dating!

Before that answer could solidify for two seconds, she picked up her phone. Deciding not to overthink it, she hardened her heart and sent a message directly to her good sister who was “blown here by a strong wind.”

Sponge Has a Baby: “We’re dating, right? This counts as an online relationship? The kind where we don’t meet?”

After sending the message, Jiang Yumian frowned. She felt so like a jerk for adding “the kind where we don’t meet.”

Before she could unsend it, the other side had already replied.

My Good Sister from a Strong Wind: “You’ve said ‘girlfriend’ a few times already. What else would it be? As for meeting, we’ll see.”

Jiang Yumian clearly and plainly accepted the fact now, but she still felt a little confused. Just like that, she was in a relationship. It just felt a little strange.

“She even said ‘we’ll see.'”

Jiang Yumian mumbled to herself. She had only planned on “dating” for a month.

She thought about it and then changed her note for the other person to something shorter.

“First Love Sister”

Jiang Yumian nodded in satisfaction. Even though she didn’t have any real feelings for her, maybe she would fall for her after spending a few more days with her.

But if she didn’t fall for her, Jiang Yumian wasn’t going to force herself. She was very clear-headed about it.

Sponge Has a Baby: “Okay, Sister, go rest. I’m going to play on my phone for a bit.”

Jing Xiaoyan looked at the message, which sounded like Jiang Yumian was trying to get rid of her. She knew Jiang Yumian just had nothing to talk about and was saying that on purpose.

She smiled helplessly. But she really was tired and could use a nap. In any case, there was plenty of time. They would get to know each other better in a couple of days.

After replying with “Okay,” Jing Xiaoyan went to shower. She would feel more comfortable after a nice wash and a nap.

Jiang Yumian was a little bored, tossing and turning on the bed. In the end, she picked a few movies to watch. In addition to Jing Xiaoyan’s films, she watched ones featuring the other guests. This reality show was very different from previous ones; it was almost all women, with only two men.

Jiang Yumian sighed. Why didn’t they just make it all women? She wouldn’t have to deliberately get to know people. She had a good understanding of almost all the famous female celebrities in the industry, with the exception of Jing Xiaoyan.

Because of her mom, she had a psychological aversion to Jing Xiaoyan. But now that she had learned about her, she felt a sense of “I wish I had met you sooner.” She wanted the show to start filming as soon as possible. She wanted to meet the beautiful woman!

She wasn’t really a mom fan of Jing Xiaoyan. She just said that to prevent her good sister from getting jealous. But what she said wasn’t wrong: Jing Xiaoyan was indeed cute!

She was cute as a child and lovable as an adult.

Jiang Yumian lay on the bed, flipping from side to side. She was so bored. She should have known not to dismiss her rich lady sister so early. She could have had her play games with her. It was so boring playing by herself.

Just as Jiang Yumian was about to disturb her good sister out of boredom, her manager, who had said she was “not going to manage her anymore,” sent her a message.

Sister An: “Here’s some information on the guests. Read it carefully.”

Sister An: “I won’t send you the info for Luo Cheng and Su Mumu; you’re already familiar with them. But I heard Su Mumu doesn’t really like Chu Qianyuan. I haven’t found the specific reason, but it might be because of a certain show. Lin Xi has worked with Luo Cheng before, and I heard she has a good personality.”

Sister An: “Ling Yisong recently won Best Supporting Actor, and his momentum is strong. The other male guest with him is Xie Yunhuan, the number one from that very popular talent show. Stay as far away from that male idol as you can. His fans are terrifying.”

Sister An: “As for Jing Xiaoyan, she’s too perfect. You should keep your distance from her, too. I get a feeling she can charm you right off your feet at any moment. Be a little more reserved when you see her.”

Sister An knew Jiang Yumian liked girls, and it was probably because of her own personal situation that she now hid from the chairman. It was so frightening.

As for Jing Xiaoyan, Sister An’s sixth sense told her that Jiang Yumian would shamelessly cling to her when they met. When they were waiting in the car for red carpets, Jiang Yumian was always praising the female stars who walked by.

As for the other female stars, Jiang Yumian had met almost all of them and had no feelings for them. So the most dangerous one here was Jing Xiaoyan.

It was really hard being her manager. For every event, others had to guard against men, while she had to guard against both men and women.

Jiang Yumian smiled sweetly at her phone. Sister An really understood her. She had guessed right.

She said she wasn’t going to manage her anymore, but she was still worried about her.

“Sister An, you really are the one who loves me the most!”

Jiang Yumian sent a laughing voice message, then gossiped: “Chu Qianyuan and I know each other, too. We sat together at an awards ceremony once. She said she really liked Mumu. How could they not get along?”

Sister An: “I don’t know. You can ask her yourself. Don’t you all have a good relationship?”

Sister An: “And also, don’t change the subject. Remember what I told you. Don’t get any ideas about Jing Xiaoyan. Her manager is very fierce!”

Jiang Yumian pouted. Well, she’s not going to be fierce to me.

She skipped over the message about Jing Xiaoyan and continued: “I’m not going to ask. I’ll just observe for myself. I think there must be something off. There’s no reason not to like her if there’s no bad blood. Mumu isn’t like that, and Chu Qianyuan is a pretty good person, too.”

Sister An: “Don’t pretend you can’t see what I’m saying…”

Sponge Has a Baby: “Sister An, want to play games? I’m so bored.”

Sister An: “Get lost. I’m busy.”

Jiang Yumian had no work, but Sister An had a mountain of it.

Now that no one was managing Jiang Yumian, she wasn’t taking any endorsements or attending any events. She was living a very easy life.

Sponge Has a Baby: “Okay, I’m getting lost now.”

She had planned on chatting with her good manager a little longer, but her rich lady sister had messaged her.

First Love Sister: “I’m awake. I’m well rested.”

Sponge Has a Baby: “You woke up at the perfect time, Sister. Want to play games with me? I’m so bored.”

First Love Sister: “Okay.”

Half an hour later…

Jiang Yumian’s face was bitter. She was tired of swearing.

Although she was bad at the game, her teammates were so abusive that she couldn’t stand it. She started swearing back, and in the end, she got reported and suspended.

Her good sister wasn’t doing much better…

They were both bad at it.

Jing Xiaoyan was doing better. Her emotions were incredibly stable. When Jiang Yumian said she didn’t want to play anymore, she agreed and even uninstalled the game.

Jiang Yumian took a deep breath. It wasn’t even dark yet, and she had nothing to do. She had been cursed out in Arena of Valor, so she uninstalled it. She could play something else, right?

“Sister, let’s play PUBG. We can duo.”

In the end, the two of them played until dark. Only then did Jiang Yumian let Jing Xiaoyan off the hook, because her neck ached from playing all afternoon.

Jing Xiaoyan rubbed her eyes. It was a good thing she died early almost every time, so she could rest for a bit. After playing for three or four hours, she felt a little dizzy.

But they also chatted for almost three or four hours. It was mostly Jiang Yumian telling her all the entertainment industry gossip and complaining about a few artists she didn’t like.

It was then that Jing Xiaoyan realized her little girlfriend knew a lot of people and a lot of secrets.

Especially that director she wanted to work with. Hearing Jiang Yumian’s stories, he was a cheater. She had thought he was talented and a good person, but now it seemed that was all on the surface. She wouldn’t have her team waste time on him.

Jiang Yumian was still rubbing her neck when her good sister called. After chatting for half the afternoon, she no longer felt awkward or that there was nothing to talk about. They were a lot more familiar now.

The main thing was that she had discovered her rich lady sister had an excellent temper. Her emotions were super, super stable. She was a great person, and her voice was amazing. For half the afternoon, she had been luring her into talking, spilling all the gossip she knew.

“Hello, Sister.” Jiang Yumian pinched her neck, closing her eyes to rest after answering the call.

Jing Xiaoyan checked the time. It was a little past seven in the evening. “Hey. You’ve been in the hotel all day. Do you want to go for a walk?”

Jiang Yumian opened her eyes. Why is she suddenly telling me to go out?

As if she knew what she was thinking, Jing Xiaoyan chuckled softly. “I just think my little digital pet is a little too much of a homebody. She should go out and get some fresh air. It’s my first time ‘raising’ one. I’m worried I’m not doing a good job.”

Jiang Yumian swallowed hard, replaying her words in her head. Is this how cloud-raising works?

Why does it feel like I’m a kid being told what to do? I’m being told to go out and get fresh air.

Jiang Yumian felt a little lost. “Then… I should go for a walk?”

Jing Xiaoyan smiled, her lips curling up. “Yes. Remember to wear a mask. You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? I remember there are a few good places nearby, and not many people. I’ll send them to you in a bit.”

Jiang Yumian numbly agreed. She was sure of it now: her good sister wouldn’t feel at ease until she had fed her three meals a day.

At this very moment, in the room across from her.

Xiao Feng looked at Jing Xiaoyan with a blank expression. A good restaurant nearby with not many people? Is she kidding?

She did her best to find two very expensive restaurants. There was no other way; she just couldn’t find a place that was good and not popular, so she went with expensive and not crowded.

Xiao Feng looked at Jing Xiaoyan, who had already put on a mask. “Are you going out? By yourself?”

Jing Xiaoyan nodded, her gaze on Xiao Feng hesitating for a moment. She suggested, “Why don’t you come with me? But you have to wear a mask.”

Xiao Feng’s heart sank. She felt like it was nothing good, but she couldn’t refuse. After all, she was just an assistant, so she could only agree.

Standing by the elevator, Xiao Feng reached out to press the button, but Jing Xiaoyan stopped her.

Jing Xiaoyan cleared her throat. “Wait a moment. I need to reply to a message. There’s no signal in the elevator.” As she said that, she casually glanced at the doors of the rooms across from theirs. She was a little confused. Didn’t she say she had changed her clothes? Why hasn’t she come out yet?

Xiao Feng didn’t really understand, but she just went along with it. She stood there, looking at her phone. In any case, it was fine whether she went out to eat or not. Her boss was paying, so that was good.

Jiang Yumian was still fiddling with her hair, completely unaware that someone was deliberately waiting for her outside.

Sponge Has a Baby: “I’m just going to walk around. I’m not going to eat outside. It’s boring to eat alone.”

She opened her door and walked out, sending the message as she went, completely missing the two people by the elevator.

It wasn’t until her eyes caught sight of two figures that she looked up.

Oh, my god!

What a coincidence. Do all beautiful women wear masks when they go out now?
