Chapter 93 - 67: Jiangg Yao’s Possessiveness Swells Unprecedentedly
Chapter 93: Chapter 67: Jiangg Yao’s Possessiveness Swells Unprecedentedly
“It’s so late. It can’t be safe.”
“But I’m scared staying at home. I’ll probably be up all night,” Jiangg Yao stammered. She was telling the truth, not lying.
If she were left to sleep alone in the guest bedroom, she probably wouldn’t be able to fall asleep until morning, her mind running wild with anxious thoughts.
On Chen Yuan’s end, there was a moment of silence as he considered whether it was appropriate for Jiangg Yao to go out in the middle of the night.
But just from their short exchange, he could sense that something wasn’t right with her.
“I’ll come get you. Send me your location.”
As he spoke, the sound of rustling as he got out of bed came through the phone. Jiangg Yao heard it and quickly said, “No, don’t! I can drive over, it’s fast. It’ll only take a few minutes. Just open the door for me.”
She hung up before Chen Yuan could refuse.
Jiangg Yao got out of bed, her heart filled with an indescribable sense of anticipation and excitement. She had been down all day, and only now did she feel alive again.
She quickly grabbed a mirror and carefully examined her eyes and brows.
’Perfect. I don’t look like Jiangg Ning at all!’
This was a style completely her own. Though they were both twenty-six, Jiangg Yao had a lively and spirited temperament, every movement exuding a naive and adorable charm.
As long as she didn’t deliberately imitate her sister, Chen Yuan would easily be able to tell them apart in the future.
Even if he couldn’t distinguish their faces, a few words or actions would be enough.
CLICK—
In the wee hours of the morning, the crisp sound of a door opening was exceptionally jarring in the silent house.
Jiangg Yao mustered her courage and walked into the living room. She was met with pitch-black darkness where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. The things around her were just fuzzy shapes; even the sofa against the wall was a hazy outline.
Alluring moonlight spilled onto the balcony.
Jiangg Yao shot a guilty glance at the master bedroom door, then pulled her phone from her pocket and turned on the flashlight.
She took tiny steps, like a hamster sneaking out for a midnight snack, hunched over as she reached the front door. She took her leather shoes from the shoe rack and slipped them on.
Her pure-black, over-the-knee socks clung to her skin, soft and smooth, making it effortless to put on her shoes.
At that moment, Jiangg Yao felt like Andy from *The Shawshank Redemption*, finally having made the decision to escape to freedom. Amidst her apprehension, a wild joy surged within her.
She reached for the doorknob but didn’t dare use the fingerprint lock, afraid the cold electronic tone would carry into the master bedroom.
KLATCH—
Jiangg Yao moved as if in ten-times slow motion, sneaking out. As she quietly closed the door behind her, her big eyes blinked rapidly until her form completely vanished from the crack in the door.
THUMP… THUMP.
Her heart was pounding like a drum. Standing by the door, she let out a long sigh of relief.
’This thrill… To be honest, it feels a bit like a lonely beauty pining for the boy next door. Tormented by love, she finally decides to break the shackles of morality. Even knowing he has a girlfriend, she still takes that first step toward sin.’
’Wait, this scenario doesn’t seem right,’ Jiangg Yao suddenly realized.
“I’m the main one here!”
…
After splashing some water on his face, Chen Yuan felt a bit more awake. He had been asleep for less than two hours when the Green Bubble call alert woke him up.
She had seemed perfectly normal when they said goodnight before bed. Who would have thought Jiangg would actually call in the middle of the night?
His sleepiness completely gone, he decided to just get up. He turned on the living room light and waited for Jiangg Yao to arrive.
Not even five minutes passed.
BANG BANG—
A knock came at the door.
Chen Yuan hurried over and opened it.
“Why are you wearing so little? Get in, quickly.”
He stared at Jiangg Yao in shock. She was only wearing a large jacket, her slender legs pressed together against the night’s chill. She had on a hoodie and a short skirt, her long hair draped over her shoulders.
Her crystal-clear eyes, upon catching sight of him, lit up with an unparalleled brilliance.
“Chen Yuan!”
Jiangg Yao practically threw herself at him, hugging him with incredible force, her forehead pressed tightly against his shoulder.
It was as if she was afraid he would run away. Her arms crossed behind him, holding him in a solid embrace.
She spoke as if murmuring in a dream, whispering into Chen Yuan’s ear, “I finally get to hold you. I missed you so much… I thought I was going to go crazy.”
“But… didn’t we just see each other a few hours ago?” Chen Yuan, stunned, sensed that something wasn’t quite right.
Soft and fragrant in his arms.
A completely different scent, a different mood, and a different style of dress.
He lowered his head and carefully studied Jiangg Yao’s aggrieved expression, looking at her reddened eyes.
Chen Yuan realized this was Jiangg in a different state, not the same one he’d had dinner with…
The thought sent a chill down his spine.
His earlier suspicions were confirmed. Jiangg really did have different “modes.” The her at school and the her in private were like two different personalities. And the private her also had two different personalities.
The one he went clothes shopping with initially wasn’t the same as the one he went for a walk with.
So far, a total of four had appeared.
’Though they’ve all been when we were out.’
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment. After a flicker in his eyes, he raised his hand and gently patted Jiangg Yao’s back a couple of times.
“Hey, I’m right here. You can hug me for as long as you want. Let me just close the door first.”
A cold wind gusted in from outside. Chen Yuan went to pull the door shut, but his movements were stiff as he could only shuffle slightly while still holding Jiangg Yao.
She wouldn’t let go for a second, clinging to him like a koala on a tree, as if wishing she could hang her entire body on him.
“You didn’t even dress warmly. If I’d known, I would have picked you up. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?” Chen Yuan’s voice held a hint of reproach.
“No, I couldn’t wait. I just wanted to see you this very second.”
Jiangg Yao wanted to meld Chen Yuan into her own body. She pouted, her face full of resentment. The possessiveness in her heart was swelling uncontrollably.
’Chen Yuan is mine. From start to finish, he should be mine. Not a single hair, not a single finger, can be shared with anyone else.’
’No one is allowed to take him from me!’
As she thought this, her embrace tightened. In a soft, pouting voice like a child’s, she muttered, “I’m not leaving tonight. I’m sleeping here with you.”
“Well…” Chen Yuan’s scalp tingled. The most crucial point was that in her different states, her relationship progress with him was also different.
’How am I supposed to interact with her?’
“Say something, Young Master. Is my request that difficult for you?”
“No. Let’s go to the bedroom. Your hands are freezing.”
“Mhm, to the bedroom! Let’s get under the covers!”
Jiangg Yao nodded vigorously, a sudden sense of immense satisfaction washing over her. She’d never felt such an extreme emotion before, not even when she had Chen Yuan all to herself. But ever since the issue with her sister came up, her mindset seemed to have changed.
The feeling of regaining something you were on the verge of losing—that satisfaction was unprecedented.
Such a quiet night.
Jiangg Yao was dressed in beautiful clothes with exquisite makeup. As they hugged, her full figure pressed against Chen Yuan, and there was no one to disturb them.
The atmosphere was thick with intimacy.
They entered the bedroom together. She immediately took off her jacket and tossed it aside.
CLICK—
The light went out.
Chen Yuan was completely stunned, having no idea what Jiangg Yao was doing.
The next second, Jiangg Yao pushed him down onto the bed. Kisses rained down on him, each one forceful.
Chen Yuan was completely unprepared, feeling only her hot breath on his neck.
The Jiangg Yao right now seemed particularly off. Her state was exaggerated and frantic, almost like she was engaging in some kind of retaliatory intimacy.
“Chen Yuan, do you know how much I love you…”
As she moved, strands of her wild hair fell across Chen Yuan’s face. It tickled, and he reached up to brush them away, whispering, “What’s wrong with you? I feel like something’s not right…”
After a few moments of kissing, Jiangg Yao suddenly lifted her face and stared at him, her eyes red-rimmed.
“You’re rejecting me? You’re unwilling to even do this much? You don’t like me, do you?”
“I’m not. I just think this is too fast.”
“Fast? We’ve been in an online relationship for half a year. There’s nothing inappropriate about this. This is just who I am. I like you, so can’t I express my feelings this way?”
“…” Chen Yuan couldn’t answer. He just felt that Jiangg Yao was being very abnormal right now.
Of course, he didn’t understand. He didn’t know that Jiangg Yao had been betrayed, and by the two people closest to her.
Of course, she couldn’t accept it.
“Answer me, Chen Yuan. Do you like me or not?” Her eyes filled with a hazy mist, as if she were about to burst into tears at any moment.
“Does that even need to be said? If I didn’t like you, why would I have wanted to get back together?”
“Good. If you like me, then don’t reject me.”
She leaned down and kissed him again.
It was as if only by doing this could she pacify her irrepressible possessiveness.
Chen Yuan was helpless. He could only comfort her softly; beyond that, he was at a loss. He had the distinct feeling that he was about to be ravaged…
Fortunately, Jiangg Yao hadn’t completely lost her senses. Aside from kissing, she didn’t do anything too excessive.
Another night spent holding each other as they slept.
…
「The next morning.」
In Lanjing South City, vegetable stalls lined an entire street from one end to the other. No matter how bleak the cold wind blew, it couldn’t stop these people’s determination to wake up early and work late to earn a living.
Because by the time the whole city fully awakened, the city code enforcers would also be starting their shifts.
These two hours in the early morning were undoubtedly the golden time for selling vegetables.
The major breakfast shops had also opened early for business.
White steam billowed in front of the steamed bun shops as people filed in one after another. The restaurants that Lanjing’s citizens were long accustomed to were filled with a constant stream of customers.
At this time of day, the corporate drones were usually still greedily clinging to their last ten or so minutes of sleep, refusing to wake up even after their alarms went off, burrowing deeper into their blankets.
「In Fengting District.」
Jiangg Ning wasn’t woken by her alarm, but by a loud CLANG CLANG CLANG, the sharp sound of pots and pans banging together. She forced her sore eyes open, furrowed her brow, and sat up in bed.
’What the hell is going on this early in the morning?!’
At first, she thought the upstairs neighbors were doing renovations to be making so much noise.
But Jiangg Ning quickly realized that wasn’t it, because the noise seemed to be coming from the kitchen…
Rubbing her eyes, Jiangg Ning walked into the living room, where a bizarre scene unfolded before her!
She stared blankly at the scene in the kitchen, her eyes gradually widening.
