Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 84
Chapter 84: I’ll Do It
Jing Xiaoyan’s eyelids twitched violently. What, what should they pay attention to?
Jiang Yumian was so embarrassed her ears felt like they were bleeding. She slammed her head against Jing Xiaoyan’s shoulder. She deeply regretted it. She shouldn’t have told her mom about the stepmother literature. Her mom must have gone and looked into it.
She took a deep breath, her face flushed, hiding behind Jing Xiaoyan. “Mom! Can you please stop having dirty thoughts!”
Who wants to play stepmother roleplay with Jing Xiaoyan!
Jing Xiaoyan looked confused. What were they talking about?
Her mother was about to retort, but seeing Jing Xiaoyan’s utterly clueless look, it seemed like it really wasn’t what she had been thinking…
She let out a dry laugh. This misunderstanding was quite awkward.
Her mother blinked, diverting her attention to Jiang Yumian, who was still hiding behind Jing Xiaoyan. Her eyes flashed, and she immediately pulled her out. “Jiang Yumian, why are you hiding? Are you getting shy now? Xiaoyan calling me Mom is exactly what you wanted, isn’t it? Where is that assertive attitude you had that day when you insisted Xiaoyan call me Mom?”
Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes brightened. She turned around curiously. “Did you really say that?”
Jiang Yumian put down the hand covering her face, quickly grabbed Jing Xiaoyan, made her sit closer to her, and retorted to her mother, “You also said that day that I couldn’t get married until I earned ten billion!”
“Fine, since you haven’t forgotten yourself, let’s put that on credit for now,” her mother stood up, and just as Jiang Yumian was about to protest, she added, “There’s nothing much going on at the company. I’m going home first. You continue working.”
Jiang Yumian: “…”
Her mother left very decisively. She didn’t want to be a third wheel here at all.
When the door closed, Jing Xiaoyan’s shoulders relaxed. She leaned languidly against Jiang Yumian, reaching out to hug her. She had actually been quite nervous the whole time.
Jiang Yumian patted her hand. “We should go too. Let Xiao Zhang drive you to the set. I’ll come find you after work this afternoon.”
Jing Xiaoyan let out a muffled hum, completely unwilling to leave her. She replied weakly, “Okay…”
She was about to kiss Jiang Yumian, but her mouth was quickly blocked.
Seeing her becoming dissatisfied with her mouth being blocked and about to get handsy, Jiang Yumian quickly reminded her, “My mom has surveillance here. She can see it on her phone.”
Jing Xiaoyan froze, then quickly stopped moving. She nodded and was obediently led away.
Back in Jiang Yumian’s own office, it wasn’t time for work yet, so they went back to the rest room and lay down for a while.
After reluctantly lingering with Jiang Yumian for half an hour, Jing Xiaoyan finally left with much reluctance because they were rushing her to the set.
She was dropped off at the set by the driver. An assistant and staff came to meet her, and she went straight to the makeup room to get ready.
Jing Xiaoyan looked at her phone, opened her schedule, and saw that the next two weeks were quite full, but it was very open after that.
Fu Leyi sat nearby. Another makeup artist was doing Jing Xiaoyan’s makeup.
She had just arrived and was too lazy to take over. She sat on the side, scrolling through Weibo. She saw a trending topic about their variety show and asked curiously, “Your variety show is almost over, right?”
Jing Xiaoyan looked at her. “More or less. A few more episodes and it’ll be over. My filming is also almost finished.”
In fact, she didn’t have much left to shoot. She had been filming non-stop for over two months, busy the whole time. It would probably be done in a few more days.
Fu Leyi nodded. “I heard you’re finally going to rest for a while. That’s great. I’ll have time to earn some extra money. Many institutions are asking me to teach classes to their makeup artists.”
Jing Xiaoyan laughed at her, saying openly, “Actually, you can go earn your extra money after tomorrow’s event is over.”
Fu Leyi cleared her throat, adjusted her collar, and said seriously, “I have professional ethics. I’ll go after you start resting.”
Jing Xiaoyan waved her hand. “Suit yourself.”
Then she lowered her head and continued chatting with Jiang Yumian on her phone.
Fu Leyi continued speaking from the side. “But speaking of teaching, I really want to take on an apprentice. What do you think?”
Jing Xiaoyan didn’t even look up from her phone. “If you’re asking like this, you must already have a satisfactory candidate. It’s your business, why ask me?”
“You actually guessed right, but that little girl is your fan, and seems to be a big fan, so…”
Fu Leyi didn’t want to cause trouble for Jing Xiaoyan, but she cherished talent and couldn’t bear to let go of such a promising person.
Jing Xiaoyan looked away from her phone. “That’s indeed a bit inappropriate, but as long as she doesn’t have any ulterior motives, it should be fine. You should ask Sister Guan about this. She needs to vet her. If worst comes to worst, you can take her on during my break.”
There had been a similar incident before, where a fervent fan snuck in as a staff member, didn’t do her job seriously, and kept secretly taking pictures of Jing Xiaoyan and prying into her private life. Sister Guan was furious when she found out.
Fu Leyi scratched her head. “I think she’s not the crazy kind. She’s also done makeup for other celebrities before, and she actually likes Jiang Yumian too. It seems she’s a fan of both of you.”
Jing Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow. Could this be a CP fan?
She thought for a moment and asked, “Done makeup for other celebrities?”
Isn’t she already a professional?
Fu Leyi nodded. “Su Yao, the one with three ‘earth’ characters. I don’t know if you’ve heard of her.”
Jing Xiaoyan: “…”
Jing Xiaoyan’s face was lined with black. “Don’t you think that name is very similar to a certain actress’s name?”
Fu Leyi frowned. “Who?”
Is it?
She didn’t think the three ‘earth’ characters were similar to any actress’s name.
Jing Xiaoyan sighed. “You can take her on. It shouldn’t be a problem. She’s Su Mumu’s younger sister, the second miss of the Su family. I’ll just give her sister a heads-up.”
Fu Leyi was confused. “They’re family? Can their family be any more casual with naming?”
They took up two of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth)…
Jing Xiaoyan knew this person because Chu Qianyun had told her about it. After all, the Su family’s naming was indeed quite eccentric, and she had mentioned that her sister was a makeup artist in the industry.
She couldn’t help but smile, looking at herself in the mirror. “Why do you care about their business? I’m going to film now. You think about it yourself.”
Although Jing Xiaoyan didn’t have many scenes today, every take was filmed several times, striving for perfection.
It was already dark when Jiang Yumian arrived. She treated the crew to milk tea, found a spot to sit, and watched Jing Xiaoyan film take after take.
It was almost midnight when they finally finished.
“Put on your coat.” Jiang Yumian draped the coat over Jing Xiaoyan, who was shivering from the cold, and handed her the newly filled hot water bottle.
This was Jiang Yumian’s first time visiting the set, and she had sat there for several hours. When Jing Xiaoyan walked over, her face was all smiles, her eyes bright and full of amusement. If there weren’t so many people around, she would have directly hugged and kissed Jiang Yumian.
Jing Xiaoyan leaned in, secretly grabbed Jiang Yumian’s hand, and squeezed it. “I’ve already said goodbye. Should we go back?”
Jiang Yumian smiled and nodded, getting into the car with her.
“Xiao Zhang, go to the hotel we booked earlier.”
Xiao Zhang checked the navigation. “Got it.”
Jing Xiaoyan looked confused. “Not going home?”
Jiang Yumian pressed down on her hand, which was about to take off her coat. “It’s too late. It takes too long to go back. We’ll just stay in a nearby hotel for the night. It only takes a few minutes to get there.”
Knowing that she was being considerate and didn’t want her to be exhausted, Jing Xiaoyan smiled, snuggling closer to Jiang Yumian. She hadn’t been able to hug her all day, and now that she was, she finally felt at ease.
At the hotel.
Jing Xiaoyan was gently pushed into the bathroom. Jiang Yumian refused her invitation to shower together.
She still felt very embarrassed, and she could also tell that Jing Xiaoyan was quite shy herself, just pretending to be tough. So, she figured they would wait until later.
Jing Xiaoyan quickly showered and came out. Jiang Yumian had brought her change of clothes and pajamas. It seemed she had decided not to go home the moment she arrived.
Wearing her pajamas, she casually tugged at the neckline, walked over to sit next to Jiang Yumian, took away the phone she was looking at, and pressed against her, kissing her affectionately.
Jiang Yumian glanced at the snatched phone, then quickly closed her eyes, forced to open her mouth and accept the hot, wet kiss. Their breathing intertwined, becoming deeper and deeper.
Jing Xiaoyan licked her lips. After kissing her enough, she released her, buried her head in the crook of Jiang Yumian’s neck, and urged softly, “Hurry up and shower. I’ll wait for you.”
Then she hugged her, unwilling to let her leave her sight.
Jiang Yumian was dizzy from the kissing. She gasped for air, pushing Jing Xiaoyan’s arm. She felt like she was becoming clingier. “If you’re sleepy, go to sleep first. I’ll be out soon.”
Jing Xiaoyan let go, staring at her intently. “I’m not sleepy. Go quickly.”
Burned by her intense, direct gaze, Jiang Yumian’s throat tightened. She quickly left with a “Got it. You lie down first.”
Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Jing Xiaoyan stared blankly at the blurry figure on the frosted glass. She wasn’t sleepy at all.
A sweet smile curved her lips. Jiang Yumian had watched her film for so long today.
When Jiang Yumian came out, Jing Xiaoyan was already lying down. She walked to the bed, turned off the light, and then got on.
She felt too nervous without the lights off. She hadn’t turned them off yesterday and felt a little restrained.
Although Jing Xiaoyan hadn’t said what they were going to do today, seeing her bright eyes made her feel like she was going to do something.
Sure enough, as soon as she lay down, Jing Xiaoyan pounced on her.
Hot breath was near her ear. Jiang Yumian weakly held onto Jing Xiaoyan’s shirt hem. Her body felt numb, and the strength in her body quickly softened.
She raised her chin, pressing her fingers into Jing Xiaoyan’s hair, taking a deep breath, and reminding her in a trembling voice, “No sucking on the neck.”
They had an event tomorrow, and the dress wouldn’t cover it. With so many high-definition cameras, even with makeup to cover it, it would probably be noticeable.
Jing Xiaoyan let out a muffled hum, gently licking with her tongue. The person beneath her suddenly trembled. She looked up, gently kneading her. “Mianmian, are you very tired today?”
Jiang Yumian paused for a moment, her mind stalling for a few seconds, then she quickly shook her head. “Not really. Not tired.”
She felt that Jing Xiaoyan was more tired than her. She had a lot of action scenes today and filmed them so many times.
Jing Xiaoyan buried her head in Jiang Yumian’s neck, taking a deep breath. “How about, you take the lead…”
Jiang Yumian’s mind went blank. Her entire body was hot and soft, incredibly weak. Asking her to take the lead now seemed impossible.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say she could try, but Jing Xiaoyan already didn’t give her a chance.
“No, I’ll do it. You can take the lead when you’re full of energy.”
Jing Xiaoyan kissed her eagerly. She wanted to drain Jiang Yumian now and couldn’t wait.
Being suddenly pushed and turned over, Jiang Yumian’s breathing hitched. Kisses landed one after another on her back, leaving behind many marks belonging to Jing Xiaoyan.
Jiang Yumian, hidden in the darkness, indeed let loose much more. She was more passionate than yesterday, responding to Jing Xiaoyan’s movements. She was just still too shy to make a sound. Only her heavy and light breathing made the atmosphere even more ambiguous.
After being thoroughly exhausted for half the night, Jiang Yumian regretted it a little. Her legs were incredibly weak. She really should have taken the lead.
