The Cannon Fodder Crazy Beauty Has Awakened [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 40.3

No incense burned in the room, but Chi Jingyan had deliberately dimmed the lights, casting a warm golden glow over her body like a veil of honey, making her skin appear even smoother and more delicate.

Those long, straight legs swayed back and forth before Jiang Mengyu’s eyes.

For a long while, Jiang Mengyu remained silent, and Chi Jingyan didn’t speak either. The two simply gazed at each other from a distance, the air between them thick with tension.

It wasn’t until Jiang Mengyu tugged the leash again that the bell around Chi Jingyan’s neck jingled softly, shattering the quiet in the room.

“Come here,” Jiang Mengyu murmured.

Once upon a time, such commanding words had only ever come from Chi Jingyan’s lips.

Chi Jingyan never imagined that one day she would willingly slip a collar around her own neck.

She moved closer to Jiang Mengyu, who stood motionless by the bed, looking down at her with lowered eyes. Chi Jingyan felt a mix of shame and anticipation more of the latter.

She wanted Jiang Mengyu to fully let go of her anger.

Jiang Mengyu stared down at Chi Jingyan, kneeling on the bed. Just as Chi Jingyan thought she might do something, Jiang Mengyu suddenly asked, “What did you tell Xie Xun to say to that Omega today?”

At the mention of this, Chi Jingyan’s expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and countered calmly, “What Omega?”

“The one on the field.”

Truthfully, that Omega wasn’t anything special Jiang Mengyu couldn’t even remember her name. The only notable thing was that she had stopped Jiang Mengyu on the field that afternoon, asking if she could get her contact information.

Chi Jingyan had been there too, and the young mistress’s face had darkened instantly, her eyes sharp enough to kill.

Luckily, Jiang Mengyu had refused.

But Chi Jingyan was still unhappy. At the same time, she couldn’t shake a sense of insecurity.

Jiang Mengyu seemed to be growing more dazzling by the day. Even if she did nothing, she still drew others’ gazes.

It was only because of her usual cold demeanor that people hesitated to approach her.

That Omega today wouldn’t be the last. Right now, Chi Jingyan could ensure Jiang Mengyu wouldn’t be swayed but what about in the future?

Jiang Mengyu refused to acknowledge their relationship. Strictly speaking, they were nothing more than classmates now, so Chi Jingyan didn’t even have the right to openly vent her anger.

The frustration of it all gnawed at her.

Now, Chi Jingyan finally understood why Jiang Mengyu had repeatedly forced her to choose between her and Chu Muyao in the past.

Doing all the things couples do, yet still just ordinary friends even having to watch helplessly as the person you like gets close to someone else.

Chi Jingyan was on the verge of losing her mind.

She took a deep breath, turned her head away, and said in a low voice, “Are you defending her?”

“No.” Jiang Mengyu paused. “I’m just reminding you.”

“Don’t do anything unnecessary.”

What did she mean by unnecessary?!

Her girlfriend was being flirted with right in front of her wasn’t it only natural for her to remind the other person that Jiang Mengyu was already taken?

Chi Jingyan was both furious and heartbroken.

A gentle touch brushed the corner of her eye, and only then did she realize she was trembling. She looked up at Jiang Mengyu with reddened eyes, stubborn and unyielding.

She wasn’t wrong. She refused to admit she was wrong.

Jiang Mengyu lowered her gaze, using her knuckle to wipe away the faint traces of moisture at the corner of Chi Jingyan’s eye. Her voice was calm as she asked, “Do you understand now?”

“Understand what?” Chi Jingyan was momentarily stunned.

Jiang Mengyu’s hand trailed up the side of Chi Jingyan’s face, lightly flicking the ears she was wearing on her head, answering obliquely, “Love is inherently exclusive.”

That was why there was no room for a third person.

After speaking, Jiang Mengyu suddenly bent down and pressed her lips against Chi Jingyan’s.

Chi Jingyan froze. The face that made her heart race loomed larger before her eyes, the warmth of the lips against hers so real, relentlessly reminding her that this wasn’t just her imagination.

It had been a long time since Jiang Mengyu had initiated a kiss.

Chi Jingyan’s breath hitched, her heartbeat spiraling out of control. Unaware of how red her own eyes had become, she stared intently at Jiang Mengyu, unwilling to miss even the slightest reaction on the other’s face.

Jiang Mengyu’s kiss was fleeting.

Before Chi Jingyan could even process it, Jiang Mengyu had already straightened up again.

Without giving Chi Jingyan time to dwell on it, Jiang Mengyu spoke again, “Didn’t you say you had a gift for me?”

Chi Jingyan felt like a puppet on strings.

Her mind was in chaos, both flustered by Jiang Mengyu’s brief closeness and worried she might have misinterpreted the gesture.

But Jiang Mengyu gave her no time to react.

In the end, Chi Jingyan could only suppress the whirlwind of emotions in her chest and turn to pick up the gift box she had prepared from the bedside table, handing it to Jiang Mengyu.

Jiang Mengyu took it and opened it. Inside lay a familiar necklace, the pendant’s cloud and moon reflecting a soft glow under the light.

She stared at it for a long time, silent.

Chi Jingyan watched her reaction closely, asking softly, “Do you like it?”

Jiang Mengyu slowly picked up the necklace from the box, her voice quiet. “Mm.”

Before Chi Jingyan could feel relieved, Jiang Mengyu continued, “A long time ago, someone gave me a nickname.”

“Do you know what it was?”

Chi Jingyan immediately furrowed her brows. “Who was that person?”

How could she not know about someone like that?
