The Movie Queen's Beloved Crybaby Alpha - Chapter 32

“Xiao Shu, I missed you so much.”

The soft whisper brushed against her lips, leaving Ning Yunshu frozen in place.

Ye Qinglan seemed thoroughly drunk, clinging to Ning Yunshu and refusing to let go. Though Ning Yunshu’s heart was racing wildly, they were still outside, no matter how much she longed to be close to Ye Qinglan, this wasn’t the place.

She pressed a gentle kiss to the corner of Ye Qinglan’s lips and coaxed softly, “Be good, sister. Let’s go home first, okay?”

Ye Qinglan’s eyes were hazy with intoxication, her usual composure completely dissolved. She stubbornly looped her arms around Ning Yunshu’s neck, her expression pitiful.

“Why won’t you kiss me?”

At this, Ning Yunshu’s face flushed even redder than the drunk Ye Qinglan’s. She stammered, “I-I will, I will! Let’s just go home first, and then we can kiss, okay?”

“Really?” Ye Qinglan stared at her, her usually clear eyes now glazed with intoxication, the corners tinged with a faint red, making her look utterly endearing.

Ning Yunshu couldn’t resist this. If not for the fear of Ye Qinglan’s anger once sober, she would’ve already pinned her down in the car and kissed her senseless.

This was the ultimate test of her self-control.

Taking a deep breath, she nodded. “Really.”

For now, she just needed to coax her home.

Only then did Ye Qinglan settle down, allowing Ning Yunshu to unbuckle her seatbelt. After stepping out of the car, Ning Yunshu circled to the passenger side, opened the door, and helped Ye Qinglan out.

Ye Qinglan was so drunk she could barely stand, leaning heavily against Ning Yunshu and occasionally nuzzling into her like a spoiled child.

Ning Yunshu could feel the heat radiating from Ye Qinglan’s body, as if threatening to melt away all her restraint. Her hand on Ye Qinglan’s waist didn’t dare move an inch.

No one could remain indifferent before the person they loved, she was no exception.

But she couldn’t, not yet. She couldn’t hurt Ye Qinglan.

After another deep breath, Ning Yunshu bent down and scooped Ye Qinglan into her arms.

Ye Qinglan seemed startled for a moment before squirming to get down and walk on her own. Seeing this, Ning Yunshu quickly kissed her cheek and murmured, “Bear with it a little longer, sister. I don’t want you to fall, it’d break my heart.”

At that, Ye Qinglan immediately stilled, though she seemed to shyly bury her face deeper into Ning Yunshu’s chest.

Suppressing the turmoil inside, Ning Yunshu carried her into the elevator and pressed the button for their floor.

Luckily, they didn’t run into any neighbors along the way. The moment the elevator doors opened, Ning Yunshu hurried out, set Ye Qinglan down just long enough to wrap an arm around her, then unlocked the door with her fingerprint. Once inside, she guided Ye Qinglan to the sofa and was about to kneel and remove her shoes when Ye Qinglan suddenly grabbed her arm and yanked.

Ning Yunshu lost her balance and fell right on top of her.

If not for her quick reflexes in bracing against the armrest, she might’ve crushed Ye Qinglan.

Even so, their position was undeniably intimate, just a slight tilt of her head, and their lips would meet.

“W-what’s wrong, sister?” Ning Yunshu’s voice trembled with nerves, her throat bobbing as she swallowed hard. Yet she couldn’t bring herself to look away.

Ye Qinglan pouted with a hurt expression, “You promised to kiss me.”

Ning Yunshu felt her scalp tingle. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Sister, you’re drunk. You should rest first.”

“No,” Ye Qinglan refused without hesitation.

“You left me for seven years, and now you won’t even kiss me?”

Ning Yunshu took a deep breath.

To hell with reason! She could always make her kneel on a keyboard tomorrow, who could resist this?

She leaned down, capturing Ye Qinglan’s lips in a tender yet urgent kiss. Ye Qinglan let out a soft moan, her hands gripping Ning Yunshu’s shoulders as she eagerly reciprocated.

The room instantly filled with an intoxicating atmosphere.

Reluctant to part from those soft lips yet fearing things might escalate, Ning Yunshu finally pulled away, gazing at Ye Qinglan’s dazed expression before gently pressing a kiss to her forehead.

“Sister, be good and rest for a bit. I’ll make you some sobering soup.”

Without waiting for a response, she quickly stood and fled to the kitchen like a startled rabbit.

Once inside, Ning Yunshu leaned against the closed door, exhaling deeply as she tried to calm herself. She even splashed her face with cold water from the tap until she finally regained her composure.

Her hair damp, she haphazardly wiped her face with a paper towel before starting to prepare the sobering soup.

When she returned with the soup, she found Ye Qinglan curled up asleep on the sofa.

Ning Yunshu felt both relieved and slightly disappointed.

After all, a drunken Ye Qinglan.

Was far too alluring. She truly couldn’t handle it.

But if Ye Qinglan slept without drinking the soup, she’d surely wake up with a headache.

With that in mind, Ning Yunshu set the soup aside and gently shook Ye Qinglan.

“Sister, wake up. Drink the soup before sleeping?”

Ye Qinglan merely rolled over, refusing to stir.

Amused, Ning Yunshu leaned close to her ear and coaxed, “Come on, sister, sit up and drink the soup.”

Finally annoyed by the disturbance, Ye Qinglan opened her eyes only to glare at Ning Yunshu first.

“Ning Yunshu, you’re so annoying.”

Ning Yunshu clicked her tongue.

Seemed the alcohol was wearing off a bit now she was getting scolded.

She kind of missed the earlier, tipsy version of Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan sat up, rubbing her throbbing temples. Noticing this, Ning Yunshu quickly brought over the cooled soup.

Ye Qinglan accepted it, sipping slowly until finished, then handed the bowl back.

“I’m going to sleep,” she said, starting to rise.

“Wait!” Ning Yunshu called out.

Ye Qinglan tilted her head in confusion as Ning Yunshu set the bowl down, then hurried to fetch her slippers from the doorway.

“Change your shoes first.”

Without hesitation, Ye Qinglan kicked off her high heels and wobbled unsteadily in the slippers, making Ning Yunshu rush to support her.

“I’m fine, I can walk,” Ye Qinglan stubbornly insisted.

Ning Yunshu sighed. “If you won’t let me help you walk, should I just carry you instead?”

Ye Qinglan flushed, glaring. “You wouldn’t dare!”

Ning Yunshu grinned. Having carried her before, she had no reservations now. Under Ye Qinglan’s wide-eyed gaze, she scooped her up and carried her to the bedroom.

Ye Qinglan was stunned, only snapping out of it when she was already deposited on the bed.

“Ning Yunshu!” Ye Qinglan called out in exasperation.

Ning Yunshu, feeling mischievous, looked at Ye Qinglan with a smile and said, “Sister, be good and rest, or I’ll have to kiss you.”

Ye Qinglan: “???”

This is sheer audacity!!!

“You’re getting out of hand!” Ye Qinglan gritted her teeth.

Ning Yunshu leaned in closer and teased, “If sister isn’t obedient, then I’ll just have to rebel.”

Ye Qinglan pushed Ning Yunshu’s head away and immediately burrowed under the covers.

“Alright, I’m going to sleep now. You can leave.”

Suppressing a laugh, Ning Yunshu replied, “Then rest well, sister.”

With that, she left the master bedroom, carefully closing the door behind her.

Once she heard the sound of the door shutting, Ye Qinglan finally peeked out from under the covers and let out a long sigh of relief.

The memory of what had happened earlier made her face burn.

She remembered everything clearly from the garage to the house.

She wasn’t sure what had come over her. Maybe it was the things Yun Xi had said to her earlier that had stirred something inside her. Somehow, emboldened by alcohol, she had decided to act boldly.

And bold she had been so much so that Ning Yunshu had seemed almost frightened, acting timid and hesitant the whole time.

Though she had been daring earlier, Ye Qinglan knew that without her permission, Ning Yunshu wouldn’t dare do anything.

At that thought, Ye Qinglan couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

She wanted to see just how long Ning Yunshu could hold back.

Satisfied with that idea, she closed her eyes and settled in for a proper rest.

She slept until dinnertime, when Ning Yunshu came to wake her.

After a good nap, Ye Qinglan felt much more awake and refreshed. After dinner, she lounged on the sofa watching a show while Ning Yunshu did the dishes.

When Ning Yunshu returned, Ye Qinglan beckoned her over, and Ning Yunshu obediently trotted to her side and sat down.

“What is it, sister?” Ning Yunshu asked.

Seeing her so well-behaved now, Ye Qinglan couldn’t resist teasing her. “Why so obedient now? Weren’t you just talking about rebelling earlier?”

Ning Yunshu grinned. “But sister was being very affectionate earlier too.”

Ye Qinglan froze.

Had she just shot herself in the foot?

She put on a stern face. “What are you talking about? When was I ever affectionate?”

She absolutely refused to admit it.

Ning Yunshu’s eyes curved with amusement. “When sister was drunk.”

Ye Qinglan stubbornly retorted, “Drunk? I don’t remember. It definitely didn’t happen. Ning Yunshu, don’t go spreading rumors about me.”

Ning Yunshu feigned innocence. “I wouldn’t dare. But sister was the one who hugged me and tried to kiss me. Look, my lips are still swollen.”

She pointed to her lips, and Ye Qinglan glanced over, they did look slightly puffier than usual. Knowing full well what she had done, Ye Qinglan’s face flushed red, and she grabbed a nearby pillow to throw at Ning Yunshu.

“Stop talking nonsense! Are you trying to pin this on me?”

Ning Yunshu caught the pillow, grinning cheekily.

“Alright, alright. If sister won’t admit it, then fine.”

“Why would I admit to something I didn’t do?”

Hearing the clear defensiveness in Ye Qinglan’s voice, Ning Yunshu tried to hold back but ended up laughing even harder.

Annoyed, Ye Qinglan kicked her lightly in the shin.

“Stop laughing.”

But Ning Yunshu caught her ankle, and in the next moment, she leaned in, pressing Ye Qinglan down as she murmured in a low voice,

A voice that sent shivers straight to Ye Qinglan’s heart.

“How domineering of you, sister. You act and then pretend nothing happened. How heartbreaking.”

“As compensation, I’m going to kiss you.”

“I… Mmm!”

Ye Qinglan had just begun to speak when Ning Yunshu sealed her lips with her own.

“Your lips are so soft, sister.”
