The Cannon Fodder Crazy Beauty Has Awakened [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 28.2

Chi Jingyan didn’t answer, only breathing rapidly.

Jiang Mengyu tightened her grip on Chi Jingyan’s wrist, drawing her face closer. “Ayan, do you really not like me at all?”

Her voice was low, whispering right by Chi Jingyan’s ear.

“You get jealous when I talk to others, you get upset when I say I won’t like you anymore…”

Jiang Mengyu’s breathing finally grew urgent as well. She stared straight into Chi Jingyan’s eyes, not allowing her to look away.

“You know I love you. I want to be close to you, to hold you, even to do something more reckless…”

“So why did you deliberately release your pheromones at me?”

Jiang Mengyu watched Chi Jingyan’s reaction. “Can I take that to mean. Ayan, you’re willing too?”

Chi Jingyan: “I didn’t—!”

Her voice cut off mid-sentence.

Chi Jingyan no longer knew what she was thinking. She had gone through too much today, her emotions stretched to their breaking point, and now she found herself completely under Jiang Mengyu’s control.

Did she really like Jiang Mengyu?

Chi Jingyan wanted to deny it, but her heartbeat spiraled out of control the moment Jiang Mengyu drew near, her pheromones shamelessly entwining around Jiang Mengyu, brimming with joy and excitement.

Jiang Mengyu didn’t give her time to think. She lowered her head, capturing Chi Jingyan’s lips without hesitation, pressing her own against them.

This kiss was deeper, more intimate than last night’s.

Jiang Mengyu’s scent filled Chi Jingyan’s every breath. One of her hands was still trapped in Jiang Mengyu’s grip, her arm growing sore, yet she couldn’t muster the strength to break free.

Helpless, Chi Jingyan could only press her other hand against Jiang Mengyu’s shoulder.

But it changed nothing.

Her soft lips were bitten numb and tingling, parting slightly without her realizing. Before she could react, her breath was completely overtaken, her tongue sucked until it went numb.

Jiang Mengyu kissed her so deeply.

A whimper escaped Chi Jingyan’s throat, her eyes glistening with moisture as if she had lost herself, pulled into a dizzying whirlpool of passion by Jiang Mengyu.

The wet, sticky sound of their lips melding together spilled into the air, making Chi Jingyan’s head spin even more.

She didn’t know how things had escalated to this point.

But amid the shame and the tingling pleasure, an inexplicable thrill surged in her heart.

Jiang Mengyu seemed desperate to devour her whole.

At the very least, that meant she was interested in her body, right?

Lost in the haze, Chi Jingyan finally made her decision. She wasn’t the one who had saved Jiang Mengyu but as long as Jiang Mengyu believed she was, then she was.

And if that wasn’t enough, she could replace the weight of that debt in Jiang Mengyu’s heart with other memories. That way, even if Jiang Mengyu learned the truth someday, she might not be able to bring herself to leave.

But what about Chu Muyao…?

She was the Omega her grandfather had chosen for her. As long as Old Master Chi was alive, Chi Jingyan could never openly be with Jiang Mengyu.

In just a few short minutes, Chi Jingyan had already contemplated the future. She was, in fact, a decisive person. Earlier, it had merely been her pride getting in the way, unwilling to admit she had fallen for an Alpha who had nothing to offer.

Tonight’s events had made Chi Jingyan see her own heart clearly. When she learned that Jiang Mengyu’s feelings for her stemmed from so-called gratitude, the despair and panic in her heart left her no room for self-deception.

She didn’t want Jiang Mengyu to leave, nor could she bear to watch Jiang Mengyu fall for someone else.

Continuing to waver like this would be irresponsible not just to herself, but to Jiang Mengyu and Chu Muyao as well.

Chi Jingyan had made up her mind.

Suddenly, she felt a weight lift from her chest, as if a boulder that had long pressed upon her heart had finally been pushed aside. Far from feeling troubled, she even experienced a rare sense of relief.

Now, only two problems lay before her.

First, how to keep Jiang Mengyu from ever discovering the truth about the “salvation.”

Second, how to deceive Old Master Chi while placating the Chu family.

Perhaps she could try persuading Chu Muyao to act alongside her.

Chi Jingyan suddenly recalled that when she left the restaurant in the evening, she had caught a glimpse of Li Qing. She wasn’t very familiar with Li Qing, but she had heard the name a few times from Chu Muyao’s lips, no less.

Maybe this person could also be of use.

Chi Jingyan’s thoughts drifted further, but before she could formulate a concrete plan, her lower lip was suddenly nipped not too lightly, not too harshly.

Snapping back to reality, she saw Jiang Mengyu gazing at her with an inscrutable expression. Those thin lips, which had just been tangled with hers, now curled into a mocking smile as Jiang Mengyu asked in a sardonic tone, “Who were you thinking about just now?”

“Chu Muyao?”

Chi Jingyan: “I wasn’t—”

Before she could finish, Jiang Mengyu pressed a finger to her lips. “Ayan, that’s enough.”

“You always know how to douse me in cold water.”

At the height of Jiang Mengyu’s passion, Chi Jingyan had been in her arms, thinking of another woman.

Jiang Mengyu released Chi Jingyan’s hand. “Just treat everything I said earlier as delusional rambling.”

Her cold, disappointed demeanor left Chi Jingyan no time to think of anything else. Swiftly, she grabbed Jiang Mengyu’s hand, frustration flaring. “Can’t you let me finish speaking?”

Jiang Mengyu watched her calmly. “You don’t need to say anything.”

She already understood Chi Jingyan’s meaning.

Besides, not a single word Chi Jingyan said was something she wanted to hear.

Chi Jingyan parted her lips, only to feel a sudden sting, the wound Jiang Mengyu’s teeth had left the night before, which had stopped hurting after being treated, now throbbed with a sharp, prickling pain.

Was Jiang Mengyu really part dog?!

Chi Jingyan burned with embarrassment and irritation, yet she forced herself to hold back her temper, her face flushing red with the effort.

“Is this all the patience you have for me?”

Chi Jingyan took a deep breath and explained patiently, “I told you, I wasn’t thinking about Chu Muyao.”

“Jiang Mengyu, if you want me to change how I treat you, you’ll have to show some sincerity.”

Lifting her chin imperiously, she commanded, “From now on, no more hot-and-cold behavior. And no wagging your tail at others!”

The dog she raised was only allowed to act spoiled and seek affection from her alone.

Even when saying words that resembled a confession, Chi Jingyan’s attitude remained aloof. Her pride and self-respect wouldn’t allow her to yield to Jiang Mengyu.

“What about you?” Jiang Mengyu countered. “I can meet all your demands, but can you give me what I want?”

The atmosphere around them was utterly still. Chi Jingyan could hear her own pounding heartbeat, like spring thunder roaring in her ears.

Surely Jiang Mengyu couldn’t hear it?

Chi Jingyan thought with frustration.

She deliberately waited for a while, and seeing that Jiang Mengyu was still waiting for her answer, she finally spoke with satisfaction, “That depends on your performance.”

In Chi Jingyan’s eyes, this statement was no different from agreeing to accept Jiang Mengyu’s love.

What Jiang Mengyu thought remained unknown, but System 031 let out a deafening wail from its confinement.

How could this happen?!

Watching the plot deviation value skyrocket to 70, System 031 was utterly dumbfounded.

It was so foolish, truly. How could it have believed its host was acting unintentionally?

It knew the host had told a little lie, but it never imagined that lie would provoke such a strong reaction from Chi Jingyan.

Just earlier in the day, everything had been fine, Female Lead A had already decided to turn over a new leaf and stop entangling with the host.

Who could have predicted that in just a few short hours, the plot would undergo such an earth-shattering change?

What on earth was the host trying to do?!

System 031 could already picture itself being severely reprimanded by the Main God and having all its performance points deducted.

Wahhhh, its delicious points!!

Jiang Mengyu couldn’t hear System 031’s lament. Her eyes brightened as Chi Jingyan’s words fell, the gloom in them instantly replaced with hope and disbelief.

“Ah Yan,” Jiang Mengyu’s voice was uncharacteristically hoarse, “Is it what I think it means?”

Chi Jingyan huffed and turned away awkwardly, “How would I know what you’re thinking?”

Her response was met with Jiang Mengyu stepping closer.

First, she tentatively embraced Chi Jingyan. When the latter didn’t resist, she tightened her arms, pulling her into a firm hug.

This embrace was unusually free of any teasing undertones.

Jiang Mengyu simply held Chi Jingyan gently, whispering a promise into her ear, “I understand.”

“I’ll make sure you’re satisfied.”

Meanwhile, in another study.

Chi Jia was flipping through Jiang Mengyu’s records.

“Just as I thought.”

She had been certain Chi Jingyan and Jiang Mengyu had no prior interactions.

Chi Jia clicked her tongue. She should have pressed for details tonight. If only she could have gotten a specific timeframe from Jiang Mengyu.

Still, investigating this wouldn’t be too difficult.

Jiang Mengyu’s movements were straightforward. She had never left City S, her rented apartments were always in the same area, and even her part-time jobs were concentrated in one place.

Considering Jiang Mengyu had shown no activity in the past two years but suddenly began appearing frequently before Chu Muyao and Chi Jingyan in the last six months, Chi Jia could easily guess that the “salvation” Jiang Mengyu mentioned must have occurred within that recent half-year.

All she needed was to have someone track Chi Jingyan’s movements over the past six months and cross-reference them with Jiang Mengyu’s to see if their paths had ever overlapped.

It wasn’t a small task, after all, Jiang Mengyu had been an unremarkable Alpha before, hardly worth anyone’s notice.

Chi Jingyan, on the other hand, was constantly busy, traveling back and forth between various locations.

But Chi Jia was confident. No matter what had happened, traces would remain. With enough effort, the truth would eventually come to light.

She had all the time in the world to play this game with the two of them.
