Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 72
Chapter 72: She Dares Not Kiss
Under Jing Xiaoyan’s glowing gaze, Jiang Yumian’s neck and face turned red uncontrollably, and her ears were so hot that she quickly turned her head, only to be embraced swiftly.
Jing Xiaoyan couldn’t stop the smile from spreading across her face. She was excited, but afraid that being too excited would scare Jiang Yumian away. She tried hard to restrain herself, holding her tightly.
“Mianmian.”
Jiang Yumian’s throat tightened slightly. She was also very nervous. “W- what…”
Jiang Xiaoyan, who had been taken away by her mother just a few minutes ago, suddenly ran back outside. The sound of her pawing at the door entered the room.
Jing Xiaoyan took a light breath, tightening her arms around Jiang Yumian again and again.
Jiang Yumian tilted her head, wanting to remind her that there was a dog looking for her outside, but her gaze fell upon Jing Xiaoyan’s neck. The fair and delicate skin caught her eye. She lowered her head and gently rubbed her forehead against it.
Jing Xiaoyan licked her lips, inhaled lightly, and quickly released Jiang Yumian. “I, I’ll go check on Jiang Xiaoyan.”
Jiang Yumian stood still, watching Jing Xiaoyan open the door and retreat as if fleeing. She was a little confused.
Didn’t she like to kiss and hug her very much?
Why did she suddenly run away now?
Jing Xiaoyan went downstairs with the puppy. She breathed a light sigh of relief. The atmosphere was perfect, but she didn’t dare to kiss her. She was afraid of scaring away the girlfriend she had just managed to get.
When Jiang Yumian went downstairs, Jing Xiaoyan had just sat down at the dining table, with Jiang Xiaoyan following her and lying by her feet.
“Come and eat breakfast. Aunt Jiang went to the company.”
Jiang Yumian walked over to her side. Just as she pulled out the chair to sit down, her hand was pulled by Jing Xiaoyan.
She forced down a smile at the corners of her mouth and snorted lightly. “How can I eat if you’re holding my hand?”
Jing Xiaoyan wanted to say she could feed her, but looking at the noodles in her bowl, she reluctantly let go of her hand.
She could be clingy later.
Jiang Yumian took two bites of the noodles, looked down at Jiang Xiaoyan lying at her feet, and extended her toe to nudge its paw unhappily.
“Jiang Xiaoyan, if you wake me up again next time, believe it or not, I’ll ask the auntie to enroll you in an extra class?”
Jiang Xiaoyan wagged its tail, looked up at Jiang Yumian pitifully, and whined in protest.
“What class is she in?” Jing Xiaoyan was a little curious.
Jiang Yumian said, “A dog training class. If you play with her later, you’ll find out that she knows a lot.”
Jing Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow, suddenly pulled her chair closer to Jiang Yumian, rubbed against her arm, and said, “But I’m more curious about why she likes me so much.”
Jiang Yumian, who had been looking down at the dog, froze for a moment. The person next to her was very close. She put down her chopsticks, cleared her throat, and said, “Because you’re her dog boss. Of course, she likes you.”
Jing Xiaoyan blinked, bumped her forehead against Jiang Yumian’s shoulder, and pressed, “What dog boss?”
Knowing that Jing Xiaoyan was leaning over and looking at her, Jiang Yumian thought for a moment, looked up, and turned to face Jing Xiaoyan. The moment their eyes met, Jing Xiaoyan subconsciously held her breath, her eyes lowered slightly, and her gaze fell on Jiang Yumian’s thin lips.
Sensing her gaze, Jiang Yumian’s heart tightened for a moment, waiting for her move. After two seconds of silence, Jing Xiaoyan moved back, creating a slight distance.
She tugged at Jiang Yumian’s hoodie sleeve, blinked, and said, “Are you really treating me like a dog?”
Jiang Yumian snapped out of it, frowned slightly. Did Jing Xiaoyan take the wrong medicine today?
She scrutinized her for a few more seconds, and snorted forcefully. “You dog! You even called yourself the master. I’m being nice by getting you a follower. Is there a problem?”
Feeling a little embarrassed that it was brought up, Jing Xiaoyan bit her lower lip, reached out and hugged Jiang Yumian, resting her head on her shoulder, and emphasized in a low voice, “I’m your girlfriend now.”
Jiang Yumian pushed her waist. She knew she was her girlfriend.
“Hurry up and eat. Play with Jiang Xiaoyan for a bit after you finish. We’ll leave before noon.”
Jing Xiaoyan nodded, but still couldn’t help but say, “You must praise me to her every day, that’s why she likes me so much.”
Jiang Yumian: “…”
Her aunt came out after they finished breakfast, exchanged a few pleasantries with Jing Xiaoyan, and then went to the e-sports room to play games, not wanting to disturb them. She didn’t particularly enjoy playing games, but her freedom was restricted, so she could only use this to pass the time.
Jing Xiaoyan sat on the carpet playing with Jiang Xiaoyan’s toys, curiously looking at the door her aunt had just closed. “Mianmian, has Aunt Jifeng not gotten her phone back yet?”
Jiang Yumian sat next to her, startled. “She hid the sham marriage with your dad from Mom. Mom is probably even angrier. Let’s wait a few more days. I’ll plead with Mom to give it back after we finish filming the show.”
Jing Xiaoyan suddenly understood. “Okay. But we’re filming the show for four days, which should be two episodes back-to-back. I hope Aunt Jiang has calmed down by the time we return.”
Jiang Yumian glanced at her, silently uttering two words: “Naive…”
Judging by her aunt’s despairing look, she knew she had given up hope for the time being.
Jing Xiaoyan cupped Jiang Xiaoyan’s head, teasing it and smiling. “I think Aunt Jiang has a good temper. She’s quite understanding.”
Jiang Xiaoyan smiled back when she saw her smiling.
The two people and one dog played for a long time. Jing Xiaoyan got tired of playing, pulled Jiang Yumian to slump on the sofa, holding a ball and tossing it casually. The living room was really big, enough for Jiang Xiaoyan to run around.
Jing Xiaoyan threw the ball she had just retrieved far away. She leaned on the sofa, reached for Jiang Yumian’s arm, squeezed her fingers, and moved closer to her.
Jiang Yumian clenched her fingers, lowered her eyes, and looked at their intertwined hands. The corners of her mouth couldn’t stop lifting. Now that she was with Jing Xiaoyan, she suddenly felt very relaxed.
Sensing the gaze next to her, Jiang Yumian turned her head to look. Jing Xiaoyan was staring at her intently, her gaze still fixed on her lips. When she looked over, Jing Xiaoyan stiffly moved her eyes away.
Jiang Yumian slightly opened her mouth, and was quickly embraced again.
Jing Xiaoyan was half-lying on her, her head resting on Jiang Yumian’s shoulder, her arms around her waist. Warm breath tickled her neck. Jiang Yumian licked her lips, feeling quite nervous because of her.
But Jing Xiaoyan only clung to her, with no other extra movements.
Jiang Yumian realized that Jing Xiaoyan wanted to kiss her, but didn’t dare to. She kept rubbing against her. Where did all her former courage go?
Jiang Xiaoyan brought the ball back. Jing Xiaoyan looked at it, unwilling to move from Jiang Yumian. She closed her eyes, pretending not to see it.
Jiang Yumian took the ball and threw it for Jing Xiaoyan once. “Are you tired of playing?”
Jing Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, asking as if complaining, “Mianmian, is Jiang Xiaoyan always this energetic?”
They had been playing with it for two hours, and it was still excited.
Jiang Yumian nodded. “The auntie at home said she loves to play. She only settles down around the time I come home from work in the evening.”
She paused, lowered her head, “She’s clingy, just like you.”
Jing Xiaoyan smiled even more happily, got up slightly from Jiang Yumian, and deliberately looked at her to ask, “Then do you like it or not?”
Jiang Yumian blinked. Who wouldn’t like being clung to by a beautiful woman…
Jing Xiaoyan urged, “Mhm?”
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyan run back, Jiang Yumian pursed her lips and smiled, but didn’t say anything. She reached out, pushed Jing Xiaoyan up, took the ball from Jiang Xiaoyan’s mouth, and put it in her hand.
“Time to leave.”
Jing Xiaoyan’s eyebrows raised slightly. She put the ball away, cupped Jiang Xiaoyan’s head, kissed its forehead three times in a row, and gently coaxed, “We’re leaving now. We’ll come back to play with you when we have time.”
Staring at Jiang Xiaoyan’s forehead, Jiang Yumian’s eyes darkened slightly. Her gaze lingered on Jing Xiaoyan’s face for a few seconds, then she suddenly got up and walked upstairs first. “I’ll go pack first. You continue saying goodbye to your little brother.”
Jing Xiaoyan was briefly confused, quickly let go of Jiang Xiaoyan, and stood up with her, reaching out to hold Jiang Yumian’s hand. “I’ll go up with you. I need to wash my hands. I have her saliva on them.”
Jiang Yumian squeezed the hand she was holding, looked down at Jiang Xiaoyan at her feet, bent down, and rubbed its head hard. “We’re leaving, silly dog. Go play by yourself.”
Then she pulled Jing Xiaoyan upstairs.
After washing their hands, Jiang Yumian went to pack her luggage.
The show was filming for four days, so five days in total including today. She didn’t know what clothes the production team would prepare for them, so Jiang Yumian packed one set for herself and another set for Jing Xiaoyan, in case her team didn’t prepare any, so they could change on the way back.
Jing Xiaoyan sat on the bed, watching her squat down by her feet to zip up the suitcase, and couldn’t help but gently poke her calf with her toe.
Jiang Yumian tilted her head to look at her. Seeing Jing Xiaoyan smile, her eyes trembled. She picked up the suitcase, stood up straight, and stared at Jing Xiaoyan. “Your lipstick is smudged a little. I’ll touch it up for you.”
Jing Xiaoyan subconsciously reached up to rub her mouth. The lipstick Jiang Yumian gave her didn’t smudge much…
Before she could think, Jiang Yumian casually pulled out a wet wipe and wiped her mouth with it. She cupped Jing Xiaoyan’s chin with one hand, lowered her head, and meticulously wiped Jing Xiaoyan’s thin lips.
Jing Xiaoyan was forced to tilt her head up. Her gaze, like a radar, focused straight on Jiang Yumian’s mouth again.
The wiping hand paused. Jiang Yumian looked up. Their eyes met. As Jing Xiaoyan tried to avoid her gaze, she squeezed the chin she was holding tightly.
“I’m asking you, why didn’t you stay in the lounge on the first floor last time, forcing yourself to stand outside the company, looking for trouble?”
The abrupt question made Jing Xiaoyan look up at her. She thought for a moment, understood what she meant, and said with a wronged voice, “I was there the day before, but I came out too late and saw you get into someone else’s car. So the next day I thought I’d just wait at the entrance, afraid you’d leave with someone else again.”
Jiang Yumian tossed the wet wipe into the trash can, gently pressing her fingertip on the corner of Jing Xiaoyan’s lip. “I thought you were pretending to be pitiful to annoy me. That ‘someone else’ was quite nice to you. If she hadn’t told me, you might have frozen outside for an hour.”
Jing Xiaoyan snorted softly, reached out, and swatted Jiang Yumian’s hand away. “Yin Xiangyu came looking for you two days in a row, and she even flaunted in front of me that she could enter your office. How is she nice?”
The lipstick was wiped off, but Jiang Yumian didn’t touch it up for her at all. She sat down next to her. “You’re petty. She wasn’t flaunting. She was just kindly asking about you.”
What kind of love rival would be so kind? Jing Xiaoyan whispered, “I am petty.”
Jiang Yumian pulled her arm. Seeing Jing Xiaoyan look over, she leaned in, snorted loudly, and suddenly said through gritted teeth, “I’m petty too. I hate that Zhang Yan so much. I really hate him.”
Jing Xiaoyan blinked blankly, opened her mouth. “I blacklisted him too.”
Jiang Yumian lowered her gaze slightly, and suddenly said, “You kissed Jiang Xiaoyan five times in total.”
But she didn’t kiss her, not even on the cheek.
Jing Xiaoyan opened her mouth. “I, that was, Jiang Xiaoyan…”
Is she so petty that she won’t even let her kiss her own dog…
Jiang Yumian pursed her lips. The look in her eyes was even more wronged than the look Jing Xiaoyan had given her before. She reached out, grabbed Jing Xiaoyan’s collar, pulled her close, and said through gritted teeth, “You’d rather kiss it than kiss me.”
The blatant complaint made Jing Xiaoyan very surprised. Her tightly pursed lips moved, and her eager gaze began to openly stare at the red lips in front of her.
Jiang Yumian waited for only two seconds, then lowered her head, tightening the grip on Jing Xiaoyan’s collar. She kissed her directly in one go.
Warm lips met. Both of their breaths trembled at the same time, and Jiang Yumian’s heart also trembled fiercely.
The long-awaited kiss came a little suddenly, but it wasn’t completely unexpected. Jing Xiaoyan’s chest instantly felt a burning heat. Her stunned gaze gradually deepened, and she pulled back Jiang Yumian, who was planning to stop after a light taste.
Two hands firmly restricted her movements. She slowly closed her eyes, her red lips moving. The inexperienced kiss lingered on the soft lips.
The hand clutching the collar loosened. Their noses gently bumped. Jiang Yumian parted her lips, her tongue carefully testing, lightly licking the still-restrained red lips.
Jing Xiaoyan’s breathing became heavy. The kiss gradually became more assertive. Her warm, wet tongue easily slid into Jiang Yumian’s red lips. Her hand forcefully cupped the back of her head, their heavy breaths tangling together.
The sweet but not cloying kiss seemed to be an outpouring of the grievances of the past few days. It felt as if no amount of kissing would be enough.
Jiang Yumian slightly opened her eyes. Her body was suddenly pushed backward. She gasped, and before she could catch her breath, her body suddenly felt a heavy weight. Soft lips covered hers without warning.
“Mhm…!”
Her hands were roughly pinned down by Jing Xiaoyan. Her lips were bitten. Jiang Yumian groaned with a frown, and a heavier kiss followed.
Remembering the bed beneath her, she suddenly regretted it. She felt she shouldn’t have provoked Jing Xiaoyan here. She was a little afraid that Jing Xiaoyan would just take her right here.
Her breath was slowly being stolen. Jiang Yumian struggled for air. Her pinned wrist struggled fiercely, and their tightly pressed lips finally moved away, kissing her cheek, and slowly rubbing against her ear.
Jiang Yumian panted heavily, her chest constantly rising and falling. Her hands were released. Warm lips had already moved to her neck. She raised her hand and gently patted Jing Xiaoyan’s shoulder, signaling her to get up.
But Jing Xiaoyan didn’t move, still buried in her neck. Jiang Yumian panted, pushing her and reminding her, “We really need to leave, or we’ll be late.”
Jing Xiaoyan lingered for a few seconds before leaving her, and then pulled her up, sitting next to her.
Jiang Yumian held her forehead, leaning weakly against Jing Xiaoyan. She was a little dizzy.
Jing Xiaoyan half-hugged her, her long eyelashes slightly fluttering. “Mianmian, with your physical fitness, how can you not even handle a kiss…”
Jiang Yumian was stunned, then instantly turned around in anger and embarrassment, scoffing coldly at Jing Xiaoyan. It was already hard to breathe being pinned down, and then she was pinned down and kissed for over ten minutes.
She pushed her forcefully. “Why don’t you say you’re too heavy?”
Jing Xiaoyan chuckled, deliberately trying to provoke her. “Can I really make you faint by pinning you down?”
Jiang Yumian ground her teeth, angrily pushed Jing Xiaoyan down, and pressed on top of her. She quickly realized she had fallen for her provocation.
She gritted her teeth, bit Jing Xiaoyan’s mouth directly. “You dog! Go put on your own lipstick!”
