Take Away My Sickly Beauty [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 17
Because Chen Jiyu had a bit too much to drink earlier, Ye Wuming was afraid she might fall and wouldn’t let her get out of bed.
The person who had originally wanted to accompany Ye Wuming to clean up swayed her body slightly, lamenting that alcohol truly ruins things. Normally, she didn’t like the stuff, but she wouldn’t have overindulged if she hadn’t been so happy during this date.
In the bathroom, as Ye Wuming cleaned up the bloodstains, she felt as though her brain must have been waterlogged; otherwise, how could she have believed such nonsense? She had eaten a mountain of supplements yesterday, and today, looking at her wife made her feel unbearably flushed it would be a miracle if her nose didn’t bleed.
Once she finally managed to stop the bleeding and stepped out, she saw her dear wife had somehow gotten out of bed and was leaning against the wall, making her way over.
Ye Wuming hurried forward to catch her, supporting her warm shoulders and back with worry she couldn’t hide. “Why did you come down?”
“To see you.” Chen Jiyu surrendered her weight to the other woman, her face flushed a deep crimson with embarrassment.
She was so drunk she couldn’t even walk straight; now she had to let Ye-zi support her, adding yet another burden.
Ye Wuming didn’t see it that way. She tucked one arm under Chen Jiyu’s knees and the other around her back, sweeping her up into a carry.
“Eh?” Chen Jiyu let out a subconscious cry, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.
Was Little President Ye really this strong? Strong enough to carry her bridal style?!
Even after placing her on the bed, Ye Wuming didn’t let go. She wrapped her arms around her wife’s waist and buried her face in her abdomen, her ears turning red as she remained silent.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Jiyu gently patted her back.
How old are you now? Why are you still acting like a spoiled child?
“Mmm…” Ye Wuming whimpered, unwilling to speak.
It had taken so much effort for Jiyu to agree to be with her, and she had originally planned a memorable date experience for her. Well, it was certainly “memorable” now.
Who on earth has a massive nosebleed during a date!
Chen Jiyu roughly guessed the reason for her frustration, so she smiled and stroked Little President Ye’s hair.
Adorable Little Ye-zi.
Feeling the weight on her head and Chen Jiyu’s touch, Ye Wuming immediately tightened her grip around her waist.
How humiliating! So humiliating! I can’t even face my own wife!
As the clingy Little President Ye continued to grumble and refused to lift her head, Chen Jiyu allowed her to act spoiled. She patted her back with one hand while softly changing the subject to save her from further embarrassment.
“I’m tired. Can you accompany me for a bath?” As she spoke, Chen Jiyu frowned, annoyed by the scent of alcohol on herself. “I smell like wine; it’s unpleasant.”
“!” Upon hearing this, Ye Wuming perked up instantly. She sat bolt upright, her eyes sparkling.
“Jiyu, you want me to accompany you?”
Is it really okay? Is it really okay?!
Is this some kind of hidden bonus?!
“What naughty things are you thinking?” Chen Jiyu let out a light laugh. She tapped Ye Wuming’s forehead with her finger and said reproachfully, “You wait outside for me. You’re not allowed in.”
Ye Wuming didn’t trust her to get out of bed while drunk for fear of her falling. Chen Jiyu herself felt her limbs were soft and weak, so she only wanted Ye Wuming to carry her to the bathroom.
As for anything else, it was still too early, and Chen Jiyu was too shy to actually let her bathe together.
“Oh…” Ye Wuming responded with disappointment.
Ugh, my wife won’t let me in. What happened to the ‘mandarin duck bath’? Where’s my bonus?
Is our date really going to end this uneventfully?
“Once I’m done washing, you can…” The sophisticated woman suddenly leaned down and whispered something into Ye Wuming’s ear.
Her long black hair fell, obscuring both their faces, but through the gaps, one could still see Ye Wuming’s flickering gaze and her exploding red face.
Help! Is that really okay?! My wife is just too…
This was bad. Ye Wuming decisively tilted her head back, terrified that another surge of excitement would trigger another nosebleed.
Seeing this, Chen Jiyu was overwhelmed with amusement. She hooked her arms around Ye Wuming’s neck and rubbed against her affectionately. “Ye-zi, can you carry me over?”
If someone was willing to dote on her, she wasn’t going to waste the opportunity.
Despite Chen Jiyu’s usual stoic expression at the office and her cold demeanor toward others, she was actually very gentle in private even a bit lazy.
“Okay~” Ye Wuming was more than happy to pamper her. The more her wife clung to her, the happier she became.
After all, her wife was a powerful woman. She supported the entire Chen Corporation by herself, and everyone in the H-City business circle gave her face.
Even during this recent crisis for the Chen Corporation, few people actually dared to jump out and mock her to her face. There were only those who watched from the sidelines for a laugh or certain upper-class individuals who quietly removed her name from their social lists.
Aside from brainless people like Hua Lingling and Cheng Ye, almost no one dared to truly cross her.
Everyone knew that a “hundred-footed centipede dies but never falls cold”; no one could guarantee that the Chen Corporation wouldn’t rise again.
Just like when Chen Jiyu’s parents had their accident and the vultures descended, a pack of wolves smelling blood hoping to carve up the prize, only to be counter-attacked and trapped by Chen Jiyu.
Not only did Chen Jiyu lead the company through a brilliant turnaround, but she also seized many benefits from those who tried to annex them.
With that precedent, very few large groups participated in this current crisis. Only Hua Lingling and a bunch of small companies were jumping around. Unfortunately, before she could make a name for herself, Cupid intervened.
Now, everyone had abandoned the idea of touching the Chen Corporation. They told themselves that Chen Jiyu was a strange woman who possessed the ability to turn calamities into blessings.
In reality, the Chen Corporation had indeed suffered a heavy blow this time, and Chen Jiyu had been pushed to a dead end. Without Ye Wuming’s help, the company might have truly fallen.
That was why Chen Jiyu had been so angry at Cheng Ye’s repeated provocations.
Ye Wuming already knew what Chen Jiyu had said to Cheng Ye in the building earlier. Since Jiyu was no longer protecting Cheng Ye, Ye Wuming could finally take action.
She wasn’t the type to break the law, nor did she enjoy taking pleasure in others’ pain. As long as Cheng Ye and Hua Lingling stopped bothering her wife, they could all live in peace.
But if they truly didn’t know what was good for them, Ye Wuming wouldn’t mind teaching them a lesson in how to behave.
The person clinging to Ye Wuming was entirely unaware of these thoughts. Her head was still spinning, and everything she looked at seemed to have a double image. Consequently, she simply leaned her head on Ye Wuming’s shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.
Who could have known that Ye Wuming’s embrace would be so warm and reliable? The moment Chen Jiyu closed her eyes, she actually fell fast asleep.
Carrying her into the bathroom, Ye Wuming found herself in a dilemma. To be honest, she really wanted to share a bath with her wife, but her wife was too thin-skinned.
Now, no matter how she called her, she couldn’t wake her up…
“Jiyu, Jiyu, wake up. If you don’t wake up, I’m taking you back to bed, and then you’ll really be a little wine-stinking bug.” No matter how much Ye Wuming “threatened” or called out, Chen Jiyu wouldn’t wake.
Seeing this, Ye Wuming could only grit her teeth and reach for her wife’s long dress. Since she couldn’t wake her, she would have to personally help her wipe down.
Dammit, she won’t be angry when she wakes up, will she?!
At this thought, the “Little President Ye” who had the heart of a thief but lacked the courage decisively covered her own eyes.
I can’t see anything! I’m definitely not trying to take advantage of my fiancée!
