Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Girlfriend

Clearly sensing the cold air around Jing Xiaoyan, Jiang Yumian said directly, “You can’t pursue her. Don’t waste your time chasing me. It’s unnecessary.”

Yin Xiangyu tilted her head, her eyes looking slightly hurt. “Why can she pursue you but I can’t?”

Jiang Yumian was choked. Because Jing Xiaoyan is shameless. Because she is her good sister.

But she couldn’t say it. She didn’t want to say that Jing Xiaoyan was shameless in front of a stranger, as it would damage her image.

Knowing that Jiang Yumian found it hard to answer, but feeling that the special treatment she received had already appeased Jing Xiaoyan’s temper, she snorted softly, somewhat arrogantly. “I was rejected too.”

Yin Xiangyu raised an eyebrow. If you were rejected, what are you doing here?

Before she could ask, Jing Xiaoyan shoved her hands into her coat pockets and said triumphantly, “We’re going to film the show, and I just happened to be passing by.”

Jiang Yumian nodded stiffly. She didn’t dare to say a single word. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make.

Yin Xiangyu nodded slowly, looking around, pretending to be confused. “Where are your assistants and managers? Do you go to film the show by yourselves?”

Finally, she smiled and pointed to her own car. “How about I give you a ride? I have time.”

Jing Xiaoyan’s expression darkened. How annoying! It was such a coincidence that Jiang Yumian didn’t drive today.

Her face was full of fake smiles. “Thank you, but my assistant is nearby. She’ll be here to pick us up soon.”

Jiang Yumian bit her tongue. She had asked, and Jing Xiaoyan’s assistant wasn’t nearby at all.

She pursed her lips, echoing her with a forced smile, “Right. Xiao Feng will be here shortly. No need to trouble Miss Yin.”

Seeing them being so polite and Jiang Yumian being so distant, Yin Xiangyu just shook her head and smiled.

She politely replied, “Since you two are going to film the show, I’ll take my leave first.”

Once she got into her car, Jiang Yumian relaxed completely and let out a soft breath. That was truly awkward.

Yin Xiangyu hadn’t driven off yet. She rolled down her window and looked at the two people standing together. “Don’t feel too pressured by today’s events. But… if your girlfriend doesn’t treat you well, I will definitely steal you.”

She then waved at Jiang Yumian. “Goodbye.”

Jiang Yumian froze for a moment, nodded, and only looked away after Yin Xiangyu’s car drove off.

“What are you thinking about, Mianmian?” Jing Xiaoyan tried hard to control her emotions. She moved a step closer to Jiang Yumian, so petty that she didn’t want her to look for even a second longer.

Jiang Yumian reached out and pinched Jing Xiaoyan’s arm. “I was thinking, you also told me not to feel too pressured before, and that you would respect me, and now…”

Knowing what she meant, Jing Xiaoyan blinked and smiled. “But you were the one who said you liked me and wanted to be my sugar mommy first. You even said it in front of your girlfriend that day, and your girlfriend didn’t mind, so why can’t I pursue you?”

“Oh, right. You rejected me, but I can continue to pursue you. That Yin Xiangyu can’t. You said it yourself just now.”

Knowing that Jing Xiaoyan was saying all this deliberately to comfort herself, Jiang Yumian didn’t refute her. She simply picked up her phone and called her driver.

Jing Xiaoyan kept her arms around Jiang Yumian on the way to dinner, and Jiang Yumian didn’t push her away. Mainly, the thought of Jing Xiaoyan’s watery eyes made it hard for her to be harsh. What if she cried?

Just as Jiang Yumian and Jing Xiaoyan arrived at the hotel arranged by the production crew, her mother called, saying she had picked up her youngest aunt.

“Oh, then you and Auntie hurry home and rest. I’ll go home after I finish filming the show.” Jiang Yumian held her phone, walking out of the elevator.

Jing Xiaoyan was right beside her, watching her nervously. She kept staring even after she hung up the phone.

She wasn’t sure why Aunt Jiang hadn’t told Jiang Yumian her identity, but it seemed too late if she didn’t say it now.

Jiang Yumian held the room card, about to open the door, but Jing Xiaoyan lingered. She sighed softly and turned around.

“Why are you still following me? Are you planning to sleep with me?”

Jing Xiaoyan blinked. “Can I?”

Jiang Yumian glared at her angrily. “Go back to your own room.”

Jing Xiaoyan shook her head. “I have something to tell you.”

What was so important that she couldn’t say it on the way, but had to wait until she was at the door?

Jiang Yumian looked at Jing Xiaoyan with disbelief for two seconds. Although she didn’t believe her, Jiang Yumian still swiped the card and opened the door, letting her come in.

Jiang Yumian inserted the card, and the room lights turned on. Although she wasn’t curious at all, she still asked, “What do you want to say?”

The person beside her was silent. Jiang Yumian turned to look at her. Under the light of the ambient lamp at the doorway, her delicate face was mesmerizing.

Jing Xiaoyan was still hesitating.

But Jiang Yumian wasn’t going to give her a chance to hesitate. She reached out, placing her palm on Jing Xiaoyan’s face, deliberately rubbing it and then pinching it.

Only after satisfying her private desire did she say to the bewildered Jing Xiaoyan, “I let you in already. If you have nothing to say, then don’t.”

Jing Xiaoyan touched her face, looking at Jiang Yumian who had turned and was walking into the room. A bit of sweetness grew in her heart. Mianmian touched her face. No normal person would randomly touch someone else’s face.

She smiled and walked into the room, falling straight onto Jiang Yumian’s bed. After lying there for a few seconds, she didn’t want to get up. She said lazily, “I want to sleep with you.”

Jiang Yumian took the pajamas prepared by the production crew from the bedside. She was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower and extended her foot to kick Jing Xiaoyan’s calf.

“I can let you stay here, but don’t even think about sleeping with me. You go back when I’m ready to sleep.”

Jing Xiaoyan sat up and reached out to grab Jiang Yumian’s arm. “Fine, but I really have something to tell you.”

Jiang Yumian thought about it, put down the pajamas, and sat down next to her.

“What is it that takes so long and is so hard to say?”

Jing Xiaoyan shook her head. “I just want you to understand my family background.”

Jiang Yumian slowly blinked. “Mhm, go ahead.”

Jing Xiaoyan moved her lips, closed her eyes, and said determinedly, “Actually, I’m technically your cousin.”

Jiang Yumian was speechless: “…”

Why didn’t she just say she was her long-lost biological sister?

Jing Xiaoyan carefully watched Jiang Yumian’s expression, waiting for her to get angry, or at least be surprised. But there was none.

Jiang Yumian twitched her mouth, finding it utterly uninteresting. She said perfunctorily, “Oh, I know. Do you have anything else to say?”

Jing Xiaoyan blinked, a little confused.

She knows? No surprise? Did Aunt Jiang already tell her?

Jiang Yumian pushed her arm, only feeling that it was strange. “Hey, why are you spacing out?”

Jing Xiaoyan grabbed her hand and repeated seriously, “I’m telling the truth.”

Jiang Yumian pursed her lips. She had so many relatives in her family. Although she couldn’t recognize all of them, she knew whether Jing Xiaoyan’s face had ever appeared before.

Seriously, she was almost fooled by her serious face. She even thought back for a second. Jiang Yumian reached out and pinched her face. “Okay, cousin. I’m going to take a shower. Can you let go of me?”

Jing Xiaoyan nodded hesitantly, still feeling something was strange.

Seeing that Jiang Yumian had already entered the bathroom, she thought about it, then also got up to leave, planning to go back to her room, take a shower, change into pajamas, and then come back. Maybe she could stay directly then.

“Mianmian, take your time washing. I’m going to take a shower and come back.” Before leaving, she didn’t forget to remind her to open the door for her later.

Jiang Yumian hadn’t taken off her clothes yet, waiting for the bathtub to fill up. It was filling up so slowly. Hearing Jing Xiaoyan’s voice, she immediately opened the bathroom door and said angrily, “Can’t you be less clingy?”

Jing Xiaoyan opened the door and smiled. “No.”

Jiang Yumian wanted to laugh. She was so shameless.

But she still compromised. “Then take your time showering. I’m going to take a bath. If you come back too early, I won’t have time to open the door for you.”

The curve of Jing Xiaoyan’s lips grew wider and wider. “Okay.”

Jing Xiaoyan was practically humming on her way back to her room. Jiang Yumian actually indulged her this much.

She took out her room card, swiped it open, and paused as she entered. The room was bright. She frowned, her gaze falling on an already inserted room card. She was very confused. Was someone inside?

Chu Baiyue heard the door open and got off the bed immediately. Her eyes shone brightly as she stared at Jing Xiaoyan, saying smugly, “Jing Xiaoyan! See where you can hide this time!”

Jing Xiaoyan pursed her lips, her eyes falling on her phone. It was displaying a game screen. It seemed she had been here for a while.

That’s right. Everyone was probably here by now.

She pushed the door open and walked inside, patiently asking, “Why are you in my room?”

Chu Baiyue smiled very triumphantly. “I told the production crew staff that we were that kind of relationship, and I didn’t dare to sleep alone, so they arranged us together.”

Jing Xiaoyan ignored her. She walked to the bedside, briefly scanning the room with a calm gaze. She saw her pajamas and the clothes she wore for the show on the bedside table and walked straight over to pick them up.

Chu Baiyue was outspoken and dared to do and say things. Her rumors spread outside. Even if the staff had doubts, they wouldn’t ask anyone, as it was an artist’s privacy.

Furthermore, it was just one room, and they were both women. Since Chu Baiyue had already said it, it would be inappropriate not to arrange it.

However, Jing Xiaoyan was still a little angry, but she couldn’t blame the staff. The staff should have wanted to remind her before giving them the room card, but Jiang Yumian was on the phone, and she told the staff not to speak.

Presumably, the staff thought Chu Baiyue had already contacted her, so they didn’t bring it up again.

Chu Baiyue was chattering behind her. “I arrived during the day. Why are you so late?”

“Are you taking your clothes to shower?”

Jing Xiaoyan ignored her and walked straight towards the door with her clothes.

Chu Baiyue followed her, seeing her open the door, she said anxiously, “There are two beds here. It’s just you and me in one room. I won’t do anything to you. Where are you going now?”

Jing Xiaoyan turned around, reached out and pulled the doorknob, directly striking her. “Find another target to pursue. I have a girlfriend.”

Without waiting for her reaction, she pulled hard on the doorknob and closed the door.

The bathtub was almost full of water. Jiang Yumian was about to take off her clothes when the knock on the outside door sounded.

The knocking sounded a bit urgent. Before she could wonder why, she came out of the bathroom and walked towards the door. As soon as she opened it, Jing Xiaoyan squeezed in.

Chu Baiyue, who had finally caught up, angrily slapped the closed door. “Jing Xiaoyan!”

Jing Xiaoyan had led her on a chase around this floor, down the stairs and back up. Just as she found her, she realized it was too late. The person had already gone in.

“What’s going on?” Jiang Yumian was very confused.

Jing Xiaoyan, holding the clothes prepared by the production crew, leaned against the door, panting. This Chu Baiyue was truly annoying.

Jiang Yumian was full of question marks. In less than ten minutes, how did this person manage to make herself look so haggard?

She hesitated whether to open the door and let the person outside in, but seeing Jing Xiaoyan panting, it seemed like she had narrowly escaped. She finally put her hand down.

Jing Xiaoyan, still catching her breath, shoved the clothes in her hand into Jiang Yumian’s arms and said directly, “I’m not leaving tonight. I’m sleeping here!”

Jiang Yumian, holding the clothes, looked confused. “First, tell me clearly, who is outside?”

“A mad dog.” Jing Xiaoyan only spat out these four words. Seeing Jiang Yumian frown, she looked at the door and said angrily, “Chu Baiyue.”

Jiang Yumian raised an eyebrow. She knew this person.

Hearing the knock on the door again, Jiang Yumian’s hand went to the doorknob. Before Jing Xiaoyan could stop her, the door was already opened.

Chu Baiyue’s knocking hand paused. Seeing the two faces that appeared in the doorway, she was stunned. “Jiang Yumian?”

She then looked at Jing Xiaoyan. “You led me on a chase for half the day, only to run here?”

Jiang Yumian raised an eyebrow. “What happened? What’s going on?”

“Nothing. You only have one bed here, right? We have two beds in our room. I came to call her back.” Chu Baiyue crossed her arms. Although she was answering Jiang Yumian, her eyes were fixed on Jing Xiaoyan.

Jiang Yumian’s expression froze for a moment. Jing Xiaoyan didn’t have a room to herself?

Jing Xiaoyan had mostly recovered. She looked at Chu Baiyue with displeasure and said in a low voice, “I told you I have a girlfriend. Stop pursuing me.”

Her peripheral vision secretly fell on Jiang Yumian’s face. Seeing her frown slightly, Jing Xiaoyan’s expression softened a little. Since she had said that much, she believed Jiang Yumian could figure out what Chu Baiyue meant to her.

Chu Baiyue snorted coldly. “You have a girlfriend, but you still sleep in the same bed with someone else? Who are you kidding? I don’t believe it, unless you call her out for me to see.”

Jing Xiaoyan pursed her lips, then boldly put her arm around Jiang Yumian. “Mianmian is my girlfriend.”

The person being hugged didn’t resist. Jing Xiaoyan suppressed the smile that was about to show on her lips, instantly feeling confident. She asked her back, feigning displeasure, “What’s wrong with me sleeping with my own girlfriend?”

Chu Baiyue was already confused. She thought all their actions on the show were just for show, to promote a fictional couple. What kind of family did Jiang Yumian come from? How could she agree to be with Jing Xiaoyan? Now she was being told it was real?

Her eyes were full of confusion. She looked at Jiang Yumian with a seeking glance. “Is that true?”

Jiang Yumian’s long eyelashes trembled. She didn’t know what she was thinking. After a few seconds, she gave an expressionless “Mhm,” and even added, “She is my girlfriend.”

Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes slightly narrowed. She blinked, hiding the smile in her eyes. She initially just wanted a reasonable excuse to sleep with Jiang Yumian, but she didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise. It was definitely worth intentionally leading Chu Baiyue here.

Chu Baiyue still didn’t believe it. “You’re not just saying that to cooperate with her, are you?”

Jiang Yumian looked up and said slowly, “I don’t need to lie to you, but I also don’t need to prove anything. Jing Xiaoyan, stop pursuing her. She can only like me.”

Her seemingly calm tone conveyed an extremely dominant message.

Chu Baiyue stared at them with a complicated gaze for a few seconds, feeling somewhat defeated. This damn variety show had two couples, and they were both people she had pursued. This was too much bullying!

Jing Xiaoyan looked at her. “If you have nothing else, I’m closing the door. We’re going to sleep now.”

Without waiting for Chu Baiyue’s reply, she put her arm around Jiang Yumian, took a step back, and closed the door.
