The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 57

The door next door opened twice.

This time, she was self-aware enough to fetch a stool and a watermelon. She sat brazenly in the corridor, eating melon and watching the drama unfold. Since no one was rushing her, she even tutted and commented.

“Blockhead, completely clueless, tsk-tsk.”

The woman wore a bathrobe and was close to thirty, with a striking presence.

She looked at Qin Mianmian’s completely unthreatening face, the soft-contoured oval face, and shook her head. This sweet, harmless-looking girl was surely doomed to be completely dominated by the person at the door.

Jian Ying’an stood at the doorway, head bowed as if being reprimanded.

In reality, she looked at Mianmian and immediately opened her mouth: “Mianmian~ Dearest Mianmian~ You are the best, let me in.”

She absolutely refused to call her ‘wife.’

The woman next door scooped a big bite of melon with a spoon: “Little sister, don’t let her fool you!”

Qin Mianmian was about to relent, but hearing this, she hardened her heart again. She stared at Jian Ying’an with her big, wet doe-eyes.

She just wanted to hear the word ‘wife’; anything else was useless!

But after staring for a moment, Qin Mianmian gave up first. She felt that she was being a little unreasonable; affection was mutual, how could she force it?

She lowered her head, only showing Jian Ying’an the top of her head.

Jian Ying’an glanced over with a professional, fake smile. Where did this woman come from! So many words!

If she teaches Mianmian bad habits, I won’t have an easy life later! For the sake of a good future, Jian Ying’an felt it was necessary to order her to leave!

But when she turned her head, she saw the woman crossing her legs, asking, “Not continuing?”

The woman even tilted her head, a little unsatisfied that the show was paused midway.

Jian Ying’an suddenly couldn’t speak.

If she didn’t recognize Madam Ning, then this trip would be for nothing.

Who would have thought that she brought Mianmian to the hot springs resort precisely to stake out this person, and less than an hour after entering, the person appeared right before her eyes.

And now, she was eating melon and watching the show, having a grand old time!

Jian Ying’an noticed the woman’s gaze shifting to Qin Mianmian, looking like she wanted to say something. She subconsciously took a step forward, ushering Qin Mianmian into the room, cutting off Madam Ning’s line of sight.

With this move forward, Qin Mianmian was caught off guard and pressed against her chest.

There was no wall behind Qin Mianmian. Seeing her older sister approach, she came back to her senses and stepped back. Her foot slipped, and she nearly fell backward.

Fortunately, Jian Ying’an caught her in time, preventing Qin Mianmian from falling.

Qin Mianmian didn’t fall, but that didn’t stop her from realizing that Jian Ying’an had already squeezed her way in!

She stretched out her small hands to push the person back out the door. Jian Ying’an hadn’t reacted, and was immediately pushed out the door, then watched as the door closed right in front of her.

Mianmian… has gotten bold.

Jian Ying’an rubbed her nose and nervously turned around to look at Madam Ning.

She wanted to chase her away, but this person was the partner she needed to win over. If she didn’t chase her away, being seen in this situation was just too embarrassing.

Wait a minute!

Is Madam Ning this accepting of same-sex relationships? Jian Ying’an’s eyes slightly flickered. Seeing Madam Ning prepare to pack up her stool and watermelon to go back inside since the fun was over, she quickly called out to her in desperation.

No time to worry about embarrassment! For the future, Jian Ying’an said, “Madam Ning! To be honest, I have a friend who has been crushing on you for a long time!”

Madam Ning held the melon, not understanding why the heat was suddenly on her. Seeing that Jian Ying’an recognized her, and having watched half a show for free, she played along and asked, “Is it a man or a woman?”

Li Dong, female.

A golden opportunity was right in front of her. Li Dong’s image instantly became adorable in Jian Ying’an’s mind: “She is a very lovely girl, she studies dance, and she has liked you for a long time.”

She has been wanting to hug a rich woman’s thigh for a long time.

A girl? A trace of confusion flashed in Madam Ning’s eyes. She didn’t expect a girl to like her.

She found it unusual.

“How lovely?”

“She’s right here in the resort. If you are interested, you can meet tomorrow.”

Madam Ning was a woman of action: “No need for tomorrow, we can do it now.”

If things went smoothly, she wouldn’t have to sleep alone tonight.

Jian Ying’an didn’t know Madam Ning’s thoughts. She felt there was no difference between today and tomorrow. Anyway, it was a consensual matter between the two of them, and it conveniently eased her embarrassment of being locked out.

Jian Ying’an led the way, with Madam Ning following behind.

Madam Ning sized up Jian Ying’an from behind. She crossed her arms over her chest, her fingers tapping rhythmically on her elbow.

Her real name was Meng Yaran. It had been a long time since anyone had called her that.

Because even though she successfully took over the Ning Group, it didn’t mean that the other Ning family members didn’t hold shares in the company. Changing the Ning Group’s name had been a long, unsuccessful process.

To be honest, being called ‘Madam Ning’ for so long annoyed her.

If she hadn’t gotten a free show first, and if Jian Ying’an’s expression hadn’t been so natural when she recognized her, she would have thought this was a calculated move.

Meng Yaran looked out the window. The lilies at the hot springs resort were blooming—

Cough, cough, she suppressed the little thought in her heart.

She liked women, naturally. Her marriage to her ex-husband was a calculation; they never actually touched, and she was forced into a long period of abstinence.

Otherwise… rushing over eagerly just because she heard a girl liked her would seem too desperate.

She hoped that girl was truly lovely.

Li Dong was bewildered when she opened the door: “It’s time to sleep with Mianmian. Why are you running over to my place?”

Jian Ying’an was silent for a moment, not wanting to say she was locked out.

She drew out her words, hinting at the situation, then moved aside to reveal Meng Yaran, deciding to let the two of them figure out the right and wrong of the situation themselves.

Li Dong was stunned when she saw Meng Yaran.

Just an hour ago, she had asked Jian Ying’an to introduce her to a rich woman if possible.

It’s only been an hour! Jian Ying’an, did you already seal the deal???

Li Dong suspected she was dreaming. She cautiously called out: “Meng Yaran?”

Madam Ning? Rich sister?

Meng Yaran was momentarily stunned hearing her own name. Everyone called her Madam Ning, and it had been so long that she had forgotten she had a name called Meng Yaran.

Her eyes were momentarily lost, recalling the past, then she smiled and extended her hand: “Hello, Meng Yaran.”

Li Dong trembled slightly: “Hello… Li Dong.”

The CEO of a billion-dollar conglomerate was exchanging names with her.

After the handshake, Li Dong put her hand behind her back, deciding not to wash it for a day.

Meng Yaran and Li Dong exchanged glances, various emotions and thoughts passing between them, with Li Dong’s being mostly confusion.

Meng Yaran took her confusion as excitement, thinking, indeed, she is a girl who likes me.

Jian Ying’an: “…”

She cleared her throat twice: “This is my friend. She has liked you for a long time. I didn’t expect to meet you here, so I couldn’t resist introducing her.”

She didn’t expect the two of them to actually click.

Jian Ying’an thought of her original plan, then looked at the “honey trap” she deployed, Li Dong.

“You two chat.”

With that, she retreated, her mission accomplished and unsung.

Qin Mianmian was still soft-hearted and left the door ajar for Jian Ying’an to enter.

Jian Ying’an chuckled at the slightly open door.

She pushed the door open. The room was pitch black. Qin Mianmian hadn’t even turned on the light, seemingly asleep.

Jian Ying’an bet she wasn’t asleep!

Jian Ying’an walked into the main room: “Mianmian.”

No movement.

“I want to go soak in the hot springs.”

She needed to find a way to negotiate with Meng Yaran later, leaving her no time for the hot springs. She could only go with Mianmian tonight. Jian Ying’an was always very good to Mianmian, but this was the first time she was showing vulnerability.

She felt her way to the foot of the bed and touched Qin Mianmian’s foot.

Jian Ying’an held her foot: “Come with me, please.”

In the darkness, Qin Mianmian retracted her foot. Jian Ying’an hadn’t used much force, and she successfully pulled it back.

But Jian Ying’an wasn’t giving up, pressing closer, and crawled directly to the head of the bed.

“I’m scared to go alone.”

Qin Mianmian’s head was buried under the covers. She seemed unwilling to see Jian Ying’an. Her voice muffled: “You’re lying.”

Jian Ying’an tried her best not to laugh out loud: “I am not.”

“Li Dong isn’t alone anymore, are you heartless enough to leave me alone?”

Lacking air under the quilt, Qin Mianmian held her breath and didn’t stick her head out.

Nonsense! Li Dong is alone! Unless there’s someone else in her room!

A chill ran down Qin Mianmian’s spine. She was timid; a trip to the countryside at night could scare her out of her wits. Now, hearing Jian Ying’an’s words, she didn’t need much imagination to start feeling scared.

Could this hot springs resort have something unspeakable?

Jian Ying’an felt the person under the quilt trembling.

She was confused.

“Mianmian?”

“Sister!”

Qin Mianmian scrambled out from under the quilt and hugged Jian Ying’an tightly. Only feeling her body warmth did she completely relax.

She wanted to go back. Qin Mianmian’s eyes were filled with tears, ready to fall at the opportune moment.

Jian Ying’an hadn’t expected to trick her out so easily. She hugged Qin Mianmian: “Shall we go soak in the hot springs?”

Qin Mianmian didn’t dare stay in the room alone and nodded timidly.

She turned on the light and changed into a bathrobe.

Wherever Jian Ying’an went, Qin Mianmian followed, never staying more than three steps away. If the distance increased, Qin Mianmian would quickly catch up.

Qin Mianmian wasn’t usually this clingy. Jian Ying’an understood.

She’s scared.

Jian Ying’an, with a mischievous streak, suggested: “How about we go call Li Dong to join us?”

Qin Mianmian tugged at Jian Ying’an’s arm, preferring her friend over herself. Let’s just leave Li Dong locked in her room! She shook her head vigorously, insisting on the two of them going to the hot springs.

The hot springs resort had many different-sized pools.

Since it was late and there were few people, Jian Ying’an chose a small pool and entered it with Qin Mianmian.

Qin Mianmian’s initial fear vanished without a trace when she saw the hot spring. Or rather, she started worrying about something else. Just as she was hesitating about whether to untie her bathrobe, Jian Ying’an had already entered the water.

Jian Ying’an was wearing a swimsuit.

Qin Mianmian looked at the swimsuit on her: “Sister, you wear a swimsuit to the hot springs?”

Jian Ying’an: “We’re not in the room. Of course, we need to be careful.”

Jian Ying’an: “…You didn’t wear one, did you?”

Qin Mianmian: “…”

Yes, I wasn’t afraid in the room, but for this kind of open-air hot spring, I definitely need to be cautious!

But if I go back to the room now, I’ll be alone again.

Qin Mianmian: “Sister…”

Jian Ying’an: “Calling me Sister won’t work!”

With a splash, Jian Ying’an emerged from the hot spring. She had only been in for a short while, but her skin was already flushed pink. Her skin was naturally fair, and this redness made it impossible to look away.

Qin Mianmian’s alarm bells went off.

Jian Ying’an returned the words from the doorway to Qin Mianmian: “You call me what I want, and I’ll go back with you.”

Qin Mianmian’s face was even redder than Jian Ying’an’s, who had been soaking in the hot spring.

She wanted her sister to call her ‘wife’ again, but her sister didn’t fall for it. Instead, she was the one who relented.

Now that her sister was asking her to call her ‘wife,’ would her sister relent?

Qin Mianmian: “Jie…”

Jian Ying’an put on a heartbroken expression: “Mianmian, is ‘Sister’ all you want to call me?”

“Mianmian, dearest Mianmian.”

“You know what I want to hear. If you call me that, I’ll call you that. Okay?”

“Be good~”
