Obsessive Love, The Possessive Real Young Lady - Chapter 10
Shen Jiayan and Su Sui walked through the alley next to the store and soon arrived at the busiest pedestrian street.
Compared to the high end boutique stores in the commercial district, this place was more vibrant and down to earth. Street vendors were everywhere, jostling with tourists on the narrow road.
There were mothers constantly warning their children to stay close, groups of chattering girlfriends walking together, and couples with their fingers intertwined, sharing a soft serve ice cream cone all the way.
The air was filled with a sweet vanilla scent.
Smelling that aroma, Shen Jiayan felt a little tempted. If it weren’t for being followed, she would definitely have spent more time browsing here.
“Here you go.”
Shen Jiayan smiled at the ice cream that suddenly appeared before her.
She instantly felt that sometimes having your thoughts read wasn’t as bad as she had imagined.
“Thanks.” Shen Jiayan took the ice cream from Su Sui’s hand and casually asked, “Is that person still following?”
Su Sui’s footsteps paused.
How did she know that someone was following them?
But she quickly let it go.
The person’s intention to follow was so obvious that even if Shen Jiayan were obtuse, she would notice, let alone her mistress, who was not slow-witted at all.
“Yes, but there’s no need to pay attention to him.”
Su Sui glanced behind her, and the person immediately shifted his gaze elsewhere.
He looked guilty, like a thief caught in the act, which made her want to laugh.
She turned her attention back to Shen Jiayan beside her.
Just in time, she saw Shen Jiayan sticking out the tip of her tongue, licking the white ice cream little by little, causing shallow dimples to appear on both sides of her cheeks.
The expression was as content as a greedy kitten.
In an instant, it brought back the intimate scenes from the previous night.
At that time, Shen Jiayan was draped over her, almost inseparable, whispering close to her neck, “Susu, you taste so good.”
Su Sui’s throat moved she resisted the urge to swallow, reining in her wandering thoughts: “After all, this is a crowded area.”
But her voice had secretly carried a hint of desire, causing Shen Jiayan to look up at her.
“Oh”
Shen Jiayan drew out the sound, a smile playing on her lips. In front of Su Sui, she stuck out her tongue again to lick the ice cream from the edge of her lips, savoring the delicious flavor.
It was a perfectly normal action, yet the way she slightly raised her eyebrows and the sparkle in her eyes seemed to carry a hook, captivating Su Sui.
“Does it look good?” Shen Jiayan asked.
Su Sui quickly avoided her gaze: “Let’s go sit over there.”
She took Shen Jiayan’s hand and continued walking forward, her steps firm and steady, as if nothing had just happened.
Shen Jiayan let Su Sui lead her, her lips slightly curled, her eyes shining with a different light, and a warm current surged in her heart.
Finally, I got you this one time.
Su Sui found a bubble tea shop, and the two sat down after ordering fruit teas.
Perhaps it was the slight embarrassment of having her thoughts exposed earlier, or maybe she was truly wary of the man lurking outside the shop.
Ever since they sat down, Su Sui’s eyes were either looking at the promotional ads inside the store or drifting outside. In short, she refused to look at Shen Jiayan more than once.
Shen Jiayan smiled, lowered her head to bite the straw, her gaze fixed on the pattern on the tea cup, tracing it with her fingertip.
The first step of her plan was successful, and she was originally happy, which was why she brought Su Sui out, wanting to find a place to celebrate properly.
But she didn’t expect to be followed and tracked upon leaving the house.
What was more troubling was that she couldn’t be sure who sent this person to monitor her, or why they were doing it.
Was it Shen Wenshan, who sent someone to watch her to prevent her from running away from the marriage?
Or was it a rival who learned about the upcoming marriage alliance between the Shen and Zhang families, sent to kidnap her?
Or maybe that vicious aunt, Fu Jing…
No matter who it was or what their purpose was, Shen Jiayan had already decided to strike first.
She didn’t want to be constantly watched like this, feeling as if there was an invisible rope tightly wrapped around her neck, suffocating her and making her extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Jiayan pushed the tea cup forward: “I hate this feeling.”
She looked up to meet Su Sui’s gaze, her eyes conveying a hint of coquetry.
Su Sui briefly glanced at her, said, “I understand,” and then stood up.
Immediately after, she was seen walking towards the clerk and whispering a few words to them.
Before long, the clerk handed her a cup of steaming water.
The clerk repeatedly cautioned her: “It’s very hot, please be careful.”
Su Sui thanked her and came back to Shen Jiayan: “Do you want to try it yourself?”
With a look, both understood the hidden meaning in the other’s words.
Shen Jiayan raised an eyebrow.
A moment later, a piercing scream was heard from the entrance of the bubble tea shop.
And the two instigators had already vanished from the scene.
Shen Jiayan held Su Sui’s hand, running through the noisy crowd to the sound of the man’s screams. As they ran, she started to laugh, her smile brilliant.
Seeing this, Su Sui also mirrored her smile.
They shook off their tail and hid in an empty alley.
“That was good.” Shen Jiayan, catching her breath, turned her head to look at Su Sui, “So you can smile like that too, so openly and unrestrained.”
Su Sui had a peculiar temperament, and she had never seen, nor expected, that Su Sui would one day show such a vibrant and spirited side.
Su Sui looked at Shen Jiayan in silence, not speaking.
Shen Jiayan smiled, reached out and ruffled her hair, then said very sincerely, “I’m very happy.”
Su Sui pursed her lips, then suddenly reached out, wrapped her arms around Shen Jiayan’s waist, and pulled her into her embrace: “I… I’m happy too.”
It was her first time initiating such an intimate gesture, so her hug was very light and gentle.
So light, as if the person in her arms was a fragile piece of art.
So gentle that Shen Jiayan could easily break free without much effort.
But Shen Jiayan did not.
Eighteen years of being together day and night, they had long become the indispensable unique person to each other.
Su Sui was like her they both needed reliance and a sense of security, and they both needed this warmth.
If that was the case, why couldn’t they lean on each other, even if only for a brief moment, it was enough to comfort the wounds in their hearts.
Perhaps, this was their most suitable way of getting along, instead of using torment and humiliation to obtain a fleeting sense of pleasure and fill the emptiness in their hearts.
“Useless trash!”
Accompanied by Brother Lei’s roar, the muscular man, whose one eye was scalded, was kicked to the ground.
One kick wasn’t enough to vent his anger. He continued to kick him several more times.
“Damn it! I told you to watch two little girls and you couldn’t even do that. What good are you to me!”
The muscular man covered his eye, crawling forward on his knees to beg for mercy: “I’m sorry, Big Brother, I won’t dare to do it again!”
“Get lost! If there’s a next time, I’ll feed you to the fish!”
Brother Lei finished cursing and spat heavily.
“Brother Lei, what should we do now? Master Fu is still waiting for a response.”
A younger subordinate next to him leaned in to ask.
“You’re asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask?” Brother Lei answered irritably.
He had originally planned to force those two little girls into a secluded area, use knockout drops to stun them, and take them away.
At that point, let alone taking a little blood, it would have been easy to have his way with them right there.
Who knew these two little girls had so much guts, daring to splash people with boiling water in broad daylight, and even aiming for the eyes.
That was truly vicious!
If he didn’t get revenge for this insult, how could he continue to mix in the underworld?
The more Brother Lei thought about it, the angrier he got, and he turned around and delivered another kick to the muscular man.
Then, he turned to ask another brother: “Lao San, where are the knockout drops I told you to prepare?”
Lao San was a chubby man. Hearing this, he immediately pulled out a spray bottle from his pocket.
“Brother Lei, this stuff is potent. I guarantee those two girls will drop as soon as they smell it.” He shook the bottle like a treasure, smiling as he handed it to Brother Lei.
Brother Lei took the spray bottle and smiled sinisterly.
Since intimidation didn’t work, then I’ll wait like a spider in a trap.
“Lao San, find a thief to open their car door.”
Lao San agreed and excitedly left.
Brother Lei looked at the other brother beside him: “Tonight, shall we have some fun together?”
The man immediately became excited: “Thank you, Brother Lei!! I haven’t been with a woman in a long time.”
