Transmigrated as the CEO's Top-Tier Stand-in - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Ji Yu’s eyes were filled with the glow of passion. Perhaps because of her arousal, a thin layer of moisture involuntarily surfaced in her eyes, like a mountain spring in a forest carrying fragments of peach blossoms, flowing over rugged rocks, with the sunlight shimmering—inadvertently captivating.

Meng Rendong’s breath caught. The strength of the fingers clasped around Ji Yu’s waist involuntarily increased.

The person leaning against her let out a soft cry because of the sudden pain.

Meng Rendong, however, didn’t reduce her strength by half an iota, only taking the cry as a spoiled whine. Not only that, but she also bit Ji Yu’s shoulder, exposed by her loose neckline, and commanded, “Behave.”

Ji Yu’s brows lightly furrowed, and a hint of grievance appeared on her face, confused as to how she hadn’t behaved.

She slightly raised a hand and clutched at the corner of Meng Rendong’s clothes to steady herself. Tilting her head up, she dared not cry out in pain again. While submitting to Meng Rendong’s actions, she didn’t forget to answer obediently:

“I wasn’t playing by myself.”

“I missed you too much…”

Before her words were even finished, Ji Yu couldn’t help but bite her lower lip.

Because Meng Rendong bit her again.

In the exact same spot.

Ji Yu didn’t need to turn her head to know that two sets of marks must have already surfaced on her right shoulder. Meng Rendong seemed particularly fond of her shoulder, or to be precise, the small mole on her shoulder.

Every time Meng Rendong was done with her, Ji Yu could never wear clothes with too wide a neckline, because if she wasn’t careful, the patch of red around her neck would be revealed.

Meng Rendong seemed to be in a bad mood today.

Ji Yu’s shoulder hurt terribly, and the sensation came too fiercely. She didn’t dare to cry out because Meng Rendong always disliked her too “wanton” sounds, so physical tears involuntarily welled up. When Meng Rendong raised her head to look, she found water droplets hanging from Ji Yu’s chin, looking utterly bullied.

Yet, this person had to look at her with that innocent and bewildered expression, as if she had suffered a great torment but didn’t dare to utter a sound. Meng Rendong’s original surge of momentum had dissipated considerably. Looked at by Ji Yu’s gaze like this, she completely lost her restraint.

She freed a hand to cover the eyes of the person in her arms.

At the same time, she leaned in close to Ji Yu’s ear, her voice low and somewhat husky, “Stop tempting me. Don’t you know if you can handle it yourself?”

She couldn’t withstand Ji Yu’s look of deep affection.

It had been this way since their first meeting four years ago.

Given Meng Rendong’s habitually cold and restrained personality, she had always looked down upon dramatic, fervent emotions. To her, those fierce and dazzling emotions were like fireworks—quick to arrive and quick to dissipate. Good relationships should be like a gentle, enduring stream, flowing continuously, capable of withstanding the passage of long time.

But Ji Yu was an exception.

Four years ago, she attended an annual thank-you reception for a luxury brand. As the event ended, she saw a tall figure standing near her car, dressed in clothes too thin for the winter. The summer dress and short skirt soon made the person’s legs shake from the cold.

Meng Rendong was not at all surprised by this situation. The reputation of Huangting Entertainment was quite well-known in the circle, especially in recent years with the company’s cooperation with entertainment companies in H-Country, which allowed trainees to be regularly sent there for exchange and study. Huangting became the company that many people who wanted fame and stardom were dying to get into.

If one simply inquired, Meng Rendong’s preferences were public knowledge in this circle.

She liked women.

And they were all the same type of woman.

The moment she walked up to the car and saw Ji Yu, Meng Rendong knew her guess was right.

But she hadn’t expected the other party to go to such lengths. The outdoor temperature at that time must have been around minus ten degrees Celsius, yet she dared to wait by her car.

The crunch of her shoes on the snow drew the other person’s attention. When that person turned around, and the sudden light in her eyes met hers, Meng Rendong was slightly stunned, as if the other party had been walking in the unknown long night for too long and had finally seen the dawn breaking.

In that instant, Meng Rendong had the illusion that this person had been waiting for her for many years.

The assistant had already opened the car door. Meng Rendong slightly raised her chin towards the person standing in front of the car, rubbing her hands and exhaling breath from the cold. The other person seemed to have understood her meaning and quickly slipped into her car. Her posture was proper, yet those bright eyes were firmly glued to Meng Rendong, filled with infatuation and longing.

Meng Rendong wasn’t unfamiliar with being looked at with such eyes. In the past, girls who wanted to use her as a shortcut for a smooth career could at least fake eight parts of sincerity. But she had never touched any of them, neither agreeing nor refusing. She would just casually toss them a resource when she happened to think of it, and then have her assistant dismiss them when their appetite grew to a point of her annoyance.

But facing Ji Yu’s gaze at that time, she uncharacteristically instructed the driver in the front seat to head to a nearby hotel.

The person beside her, instead of running away after hearing her words, even dared to use her fingertips to hook Meng Rendong’s palm, which was casually resting on the seat.

And once they got to the hotel, things became even more intense.

She hadn’t even used much strength, yet Ji Yu was already hugging her, crying and calling out in pain. If she hadn’t been so much to Meng Rendong’s taste, she would definitely have lost her patience then and there.

The next day, there was a bit of red on the sheets, but Meng Rendong didn’t pay much attention.

After all, in this industry, there were plenty of people willing to undergo surgery for resources; a minor operation was nothing.

Later, Meng Rendong investigated Ji Yu’s background.

An ordinary working-class family, though slightly more tragic than most. Ji Yu’s parents died in a car accident when she was in the second year of junior high, leaving behind only her and a seriously ill elderly relative. All the compensation from the accident was poured into the relative’s medical treatment. By the time Ji Yu was in high school, she had lost her last remaining family member.

Following that were stories of dropping out to work and teaching herself music and so on.

This tragic first half of her life had no intersection with Meng Rendong. After reading the file, Meng Rendong curled her lips, waiting for Ji Yu to come to her for resources.

However, this wait lasted for four years.

Ji Yu never made a request to her.

Her gaze towards Meng Rendong hadn’t even changed.

It was still as fervent, intense, and unreserved as ever.

It was from Ji Yu that Meng Rendong understood what “unswerving devotion” meant. Ji Yu’s feelings for her were not a fleeting firework, but the sun hanging high in the sky. Fireworks fade quickly; only the sun is eternal.

Because she was distracted, Meng Rendong’s movements became a little careless.

Ji Yu was pushed too hard. Her voice couldn’t be suppressed, letting out a soft whimper. Even though she was so bullied that she was on the verge of tears, she still sought Meng Rendong’s lips, pushing open the palm covering her sight, and whispered to her with a teary voice, “Whatever you give, I’ll take it all.”

This was her response to Meng Rendong’s earlier comment about her being unable to handle it.

Meng Rendong smiled faintly. Her expression remained calm, but the darkness in her eyes became unusually deeper, like the calm before a storm. The emotions that had accumulated over recent days finally found an outlet for release.

Ji Yu got what she asked for, and later, she hugged Meng Rendong, trembling all over as she cried.

It was very late when they finished. Ji Yu’s legs were weak, and she pressed her hand to her abdomen. After a long while of recovery, she sat up from the dining table and went to warm up the already cold food for Meng Rendong in the microwave.

During this time, Meng Rendong was a little impatient waiting for her, but a Corgi that crawled out from under the table distracted her. By the time the Corgi scurried away on its short legs, Ji Yu had also recovered.

Three dishes and one soup were rearranged on the table.

Meng Rendong’s expression became slightly relaxed after the extreme passion they had just shared. Of course, it could also be due to the warm glow of the chandelier above Ji Yu’s dining table, which could even give the illusion of melting to ice.

After the two of them finished eating at the dining table, Ji Yu went to collect the bowls. While she was washing and tidying the dishes, Meng Rendong took a shower. After she came out of the bathroom, she saw several missed calls on her phone.

Meng Rendong stared at the caller ID for a few seconds, let out a light breath, picked up the phone, and redialed the number. The moment it connected, the other party’s voice came out first:

“Rendong.”

Meng Rendong called out the other person’s name a beat late, “Nanxing…”

The other person’s spoiled voice was so sweet it could almost seep out of the phone, “I’m at the airport. Can you come pick me up now?”

Meng Rendong’s expression remained indifferent: “I’ll have Xue Lian go.”

Having said that, she hung up the phone.

Ji Yu washed the dishes clean, also rinsing off the greasy smell from her hands. When she came out, she saw Meng Rendong sitting on the sofa looking at her, her eyes somewhat dark and unclear.

Ji Yu’s steps towards her hesitated.

She was too familiar with what that look in Meng Rendong’s eyes meant.

The strange feeling in her body, which hadn’t dissipated yet, became clearer.

She actually wanted to say that she was full, but Meng Rendong kept looking at her, making all of Ji Yu’s excuses impossible to utter. After a long while, she honestly diverted her path to the adjacent bedroom.

But when she came out again, Meng Rendong was on the phone once more. The warning and displeasure in the name “Chu Nanxing” easily reached Ji Yu’s ears—

Then, Meng Rendong held her phone and looked up at Ji Yu, who had walked up to her:

“I’ll come again next time.”

This meant she wouldn’t be staying overnight tonight.

Having said that, she got up and headed toward the door. Meng Rendong always acted decisively and never dragged things out.

When Ji Yu followed to see her off, Meng Rendong turned and pinched Ji Yu’s face: “Alright, don’t be so clingy.”

Until the front door closed in front of Ji Yu.

She stood still in front of the door for a while, confirming that the other person wouldn’t return to torment her. Ji Yu let out a long sigh of relief, looked at the aid product she had just taken out, and casually tossed it onto the shoe cabinet by the door.

She turned and walked back into the room, her steps lightened with a sense of relief as if she had escaped a catastrophe.

Meng Rendong’s word “clingy” flashed through her mind. Ji Yu lowered her head and thought for a moment, a faint smile spreading across her lips.
