When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 55

Although this didn’t seem like something Ji Xu’an would do, Ji Xu’an had already made an exception for Jiang Jiang before. Once there was a first time, there would be countless times.

Following Xie Xiao’s guess, Jiang Jiang’s face also showed a few traces of hesitation, “Probably not.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the phone on the sink suddenly rang, and Xie Xiao also looked over.

Jiang Jiang picked it up and saw that it was actually a call from Ji Xu’an.

She didn’t avoid Xie Xiao, and after answering, she turned on the speakerphone.

For the first few seconds, only the two’s light breathing could be heard. In the end, Ji Xu’an took the lead in asking, “Are you washing up?”

Although she didn’t hear the sound of water, Jiang Jiang didn’t open the door when she went to knock just now.

Compared to the other party not wanting to open the door for her, Ji Xu’an was more willing to believe that Jiang Jiang didn’t hear her.

Jiang Jiang was still wearing her daytime clothes. She leaned against the sink, and her fingertips were playing with her hair in a casual manner.

“Yeah.”

Ji Xu’an seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Jiang Jiang didn’t hear it very clearly, but she could clearly feel that Ji Xu’an’s tone had softened a lot, and it seemed to be mixed with a few traces of embarrassment.

“Then I’ll come find you after you finish washing up.”

Although Ji Xu’an said this, she didn’t hang up the phone immediately. Jiang Jiang raised her eyes and met Xie Xiao’s gossiping gaze. She lowered her long eyelashes again, and her cheeks unconsciously turned red.

“Is there anything you need, Sister?”

The empty bathroom amplified Jiang Jiang’s voice, and the ending sound seemed to have a few traces of lingering echo, ringing softly in Ji Xu’an’s ears.

Ji Xu’an didn’t speak. She raised her head and looked at the few scattered lights in the sky. The coldness between her eyebrows was blown away by the breeze, leaving only a faint tenderness hanging on her face.

Clearly, the two were still separated by a few walls, but Ji Xu’an seemed to see Jiang Jiang standing in front of her, with messy long hair and moist eyes, her neck was smoked pink by the heat, and water droplets slid down it, leaving traces of crystal clear wet marks.

She closed her eyes, exhaled lightly, turned around and picked up the glass on the coffee table, first drank a mouthful of warm water to moisten her throat, and then replied, “Yeah, I just made a cup of milk, can you still drink it?”

Jiang Jiang didn’t answer immediately, but turned on the faucet in front of her. She stretched her fingers over and watched the water flow through her fingers, and her clear voice seemed to be dampened by the water vapor, “I’ll drink it after I take a shower, is that okay?”

The sound of rushing water easily made people’s minds wander, especially when the environment was too quiet, and Ji Xu’an had just suppressed the images of Jiang Jiang that appeared in her mind.

This unknown beauty was like an apple that was only half exposed, luring the prey to constantly approach the well-laid trap.

Ji Xu’an was not an ignorant girl, she had the knowledge and desires that an adult should have, and the person on the other end of the phone was the girl she liked.

It was difficult for her not to think about some things.

In order to prevent herself from losing her composure in front of Jiang Jiang, and also to stop this rude act of eavesdropping, Ji Xu’an only hummed very lightly, and then asked Jiang Jiang to hang up the phone first.

Jiang Jiang obediently hung up the phone, and then turned off the faucet at the same time as she put down the phone.

Xie Xiao had been holding her mouth tightly just now, not daring to breathe.

Only at this time did she finally let go of her hand and chuckled, “Jiang Jiang, did you do that on purpose just now?”

Clearly, she didn’t do anything, but she lied to Ji Xu’an that she was taking a shower, and she turned on the faucet. Ji Xu’an heard the sound of water, and might think that she wasn’t wearing any clothes at all now.

No wonder Xie Xiao vaguely felt that Ji Xu’an’s tone was a bit stiff when she hung up the phone in the end.

Xie Xiao’s face was full of motherly smiles, and she suddenly felt that this CP was a bit easy to ship, “If you two still sleep together tonight, can Ji Xu’an really hold back??”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiang’s face became even more flushed. Xie Xiao seemed to see her smile, and she was about to gossip a few more words when she saw Jiang Jiang reach out her hand to her. In the next second, Jiang Jiang’s fingertip pressed on the White Jade Exquisite Mirror.

“Xiao Xiao, I won’t talk to you anymore, let’s chat next time.”

Xie Xiao:??

She suspected that Jiang Jiang was deliberately avoiding her question!

“Come on, tell me something!”

Jiang Jiang’s lips curved slightly, her face was pure and harmless, and it was impossible to see that she was doing it on purpose.

“Sister is still waiting for me, if I delay for too long, she will be suspicious.”

Xie Xiao looked at her unwillingly, okay, even if Jiang Jiang was bolder, her personality was much more reserved and shy than her. She could forget about the late-night adult topics between girlfriends, Jiang Jiang wouldn’t tell her.

Putting away the White Jade Exquisite Mirror, Jiang Jiang took a shower as quickly as possible. She walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, and after changing into her pajamas, she walked out of the room to find Ji Xu’an.

Ji Xu’an had also just finished washing up. She was sitting on the sofa in the living room looking at her phone. The gray-purple long-sleeved silk pajamas completely wrapped her body, and the exposed neck and wrists were dazzlingly white, with a different kind of luster in the light.

Jiang Jiang’s footsteps paused slightly, “Sister.”

Ji Xu’an turned her head and glanced, then got up and walked towards her. As she approached, Jiang Jiang smelled a fresh and sweet fragrance, which was very different from the shower gel scent that Ji Xu’an usually used.

She couldn’t help but move her nose and sniffed hard twice, “Did sister change her shower gel?”

Ji Xu’an stopped in front of Jiang Jiang, and the fruity scent became more obvious. Jiang Jiang was still thinking about what kind of words to use to describe this scent, and didn’t notice the fleeting unnaturalness on Ji Xu’an’s face for a while.

“Yeah, doesn’t it smell good?” Ji Xu’an asked softly.

Jiang Jiang shook her head, “It smells very good, it smells like ripe grapes.”

It just felt like this kind of scent wasn’t something Ji Xu’an would use, but Jiang Jiang liked it very much.

Ji Xu’an raised her hand and flicked her long hair, and when her fingertips brushed against the back of her neck, the grape scent became even stronger.

She went to the kitchen to bring out the brewed milk and handed it to Jiang Jiang, “Drink something hot, you’ll sleep better at night.”

Jiang Jiang drank it all in front of her, and Ji Xu’an leaned against the dining table and watched Jiang Jiang quietly. After Jiang Jiang finished drinking, she naturally took the empty glass and handed a tissue to Jiang Jiang.

“Sister, let me wash it.” Jiang Jiang followed her into the kitchen.

“It’s okay.” Ji Xu’an was washing the milk hanging on the wall of the cup. Her expression was very serious when she lowered her eyes, full of meticulous concentration.

Jiang Jiang was too embarrassed to leave like this, she waited aside, and after watching Ji Xu’an put the washed cup back in place, she said good night to her.

“It’s getting late, sister should rest early too.”

She really didn’t intend to invite me to sleep together.

Ji Xu’an stopped her when Jiang Jiang reached the bedroom door. Jiang Jiang looked back, and Ji Xu’an was standing not far from her, her thick eyelashes half-covered, and her voice was low and soft, “Jiang Jiang, can I sleep in your room tonight?”

When Jiang Jiang heard this, her first reaction was that if Xie Xiao knew that Ji Xu’an would actually say such a thing, she would probably be so excited that she would scream.

Just now she was still guessing whether Ji Xu’an would knock on the door in the middle of the night?

Unexpectedly, before midnight, Ji Xu’an took the initiative to propose to sleep with Jiang Jiang.

So the cup of milk just now was just to bring out this sentence?

Before Jiang Jiang could answer, Ji Xu’an said softly again, “If it’s inconvenient, then forget it.”

Jiang Jiang stared at Ji Xu’an carefully. Her face wasn’t ugly, but the fatigue in her eyes was still hard to ignore.

“There’s nothing inconvenient, sister, come in.”

While saying this, Jiang Jiang stepped aside to let Ji Xu’an in first.

After Ji Xu’an came in, Jiang Jiang closed the door casually, and neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.

Ji Xu’an wanted to ask Jiang Jiang why she was unhappy, but the two hadn’t made a definite promise before, and she couldn’t link Jiang Jiang not letting her in with Jiang Jiang being in a bad mood, so she could only swallow the doubts in her heart again.

Jiang Jiang’s performance seemed to be no different from before, and her attitude towards Ji Xu’an wasn’t cold either, but Ji Xu’an just felt strange, and it wasn’t until the two were lying on the same bed that she understood why.

Jiang Jiang wasn’t as proactive today as she was before.

If it was Jiang Jiang who persuaded Ji Xu’an to stay before, then tonight’s sleeping together was requested by Ji Xu’an herself. Her mood was a little complicated, and she seemed to understand something in a trance.

Jiang Jiang wouldn’t always take the initiative. If Ji Xu’an wanted to break through the existing relationship with Jiang Jiang, she couldn’t wait for Jiang Jiang to approach her like before.

Thinking of this, Ji Xu’an borrowed the action of tucking in the quilt, and her body moved a few inches towards Jiang Jiang imperceptibly, getting closer to Jiang Jiang.

She remembered that Jiang Jiang was still holding her arm to sleep last night, and when she woke up in the morning, the two were even hugging each other tightly, but tonight she couldn’t even touch the corner of Jiang Jiang’s clothes.

A feeling of loss rose in Ji Xu’an’s heart.

Jiang Jiang didn’t seem to have this feeling at all. Her breathing even calmed down quickly, and she was obviously already asleep.

Ji Xu’an lay awake, experiencing a rare bout of insomnia. She replayed the day’s events in her mind, trying to pinpoint which of her actions might have made Jiang Jiang unhappy.

She didn’t know how long it had passed, but Ji Xu’an still had no thoughts. She breathed a sigh of relief very lightly, and was about to close her eyes and brew sleepiness when the person next to her suddenly turned over and faced her, and that soft and warm body was only a palm’s distance away from her.

Ji Xu’an didn’t even take much time to think before reaching out her hand. Her arm gently rested on Jiang Jiang’s waist, and the last bit of distance between the two disappeared completely with Ji Xu’an’s initiative.

Only after holding Jiang Jiang in her arms did Ji Xu’an finally feel a lot more at ease. Her brain, which had been unusually awake, gradually stopped thinking. She closed her eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

After Ji Xu’an had completely fallen asleep, Jiang Jiang slowly opened her eyes. There was no sleepiness in her eyes, only countless thoughts.

…

While the feelings between the two were gradually changing, He Xinyao in the hospital was tossing and turning in bed.

After waiting for a day, Zheng Zhouzhou finally replied to her message, but it wasn’t Zheng Zhouzhou herself who replied, but her staff contacted He Xinyao.

The other party said that Zheng Zhouzhou was very busy and it was inconvenient to reply to her message. He Xinyao believed it.

He Xinyao failed to get the recording and almost offended Ji Xu’an. Now she was panicking and didn’t know what to do.

The staff member subtly hinted at her shortcomings, leaving He Xinyao infuriated. However, realizing that she had indeed made mistakes, she could only swallow her frustration in silence.

But at the same time, He Xinyao secretly vowed in her heart that she must accomplish a major event to make Zheng Zhouzhou look at her with new eyes.

The chat content between her and the staff member wasn’t much. Most of the time, she was talking, and the other party’s words were always ambiguous, but in the end, the other party revealed a message to He Xinyao, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Liang Junsheng was also in this hospital.

It was just that his ward was guarded by police and bodyguards for twenty-four hours, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get close.

But He Xinyao was ecstatic after learning this news.

This was called finding something after searching high and low, and getting it without any effort!

Wasn’t she trying her best to manipulate Xie Xiao, aiming to use the recent news to tarnish Xie Xiao’s reputation?

But if she could contact Liang Junsheng and get the other party’s personal confession, wouldn’t this be more useful than Xie Xiao’s words?!

He Xinyao believed that compared to her, Liang Junsheng’s hatred for Xie Xiao would only be more, not less. At that time, she definitely wouldn’t need to threaten or lure him, and Liang Junsheng himself would cooperate with her.

What netizens loved to see most was the reversal of events. Even if everything Liang Junsheng said was false, everyone would be very interested.

Would I still have to worry about not being able to retaliate against Xie Xiao at that time?

After He Xinyao had this idea, she immediately felt restless and couldn’t wait to rush to Liang Junsheng’s ward.

But she still had some brains, knowing that with Liang Junsheng’s identity, if she acted rashly, she might not only be unable to approach Liang Junsheng, but she would also be arrested as an accomplice.

He Xinyao forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart and began to inquire about Liang Junsheng’s situation from people in the know.

If you want to know who knows the most about the situation of these people in the hospital, it must be the people who work in the hospital. Even an inconspicuous little nurse knows a lot of things that ordinary people don’t know.

Even if Ji Xu’an was more powerful, could she block everyone’s mouths?

He Xinyao was willing to spend money, and the questions she asked weren’t very private. Under the lure of heavy money, she had asked a lot of information.

He Xinyao temporarily had two plans.

The best situation was that she could personally meet Liang Junsheng. If that didn’t work, she would ask someone to help her record a self-statement from Liang Junsheng, as long as she could prove that Xie Xiao was the one who was behind the accident.

These two plans had a common premise, which was that she must bribe someone who could help.

After some effort, He Xinyao finally contacted a nurse who was responsible for changing Liang Junsheng’s medicine.

She offered a price of 300,000 to help her get the recording, but the other party refused her without hesitation, on the grounds that this 300,000 was not enough for her to offend Ji Xu’an.

He Xinyao was so angry that she smashed things crazily in the ward, “Bitch! 300,000 is not enough!”

She only had less than a million left in her pocket money now, and she still had to support Zheng Zhouzhou’s peripherals and endorsement products later, so she couldn’t spend all the money on this matter.

He Xinyao couldn’t help but call her family again to ask for money, but her parents, who had always doted on her, refused her.

“Yao Yao, you had asked us for 100,000 not long ago. The pocket money we give you is already a lot. Mom and Dad have bought all the clothes and bags you like for you. Spend less money on chasing stars.” Mother He persuaded earnestly.

He Xinyao hung up the phone before she could finish speaking. They didn’t understand her at all!

They also said that she was the family’s little princess forever, but they weren’t even willing to give her this little money.

He Xinyao bit her finger and added another 100,000.

[400,000, you just need to help me ask him a question. Don’t worry, as long as your voice isn’t recorded, Ji Xu’an won’t find out!]

But the other party did not reply to her message, which made He Xinyao so angry that she smashed her phone.

But she didn’t know that the nurse had immediately told the bodyguard sent by Ji Xu’an about this matter. The bodyguard didn’t dare to be careless and immediately contacted Ji Xu’an.

Honestly, Ji Xu’an was not surprised by He Xinyao’s plan. In fact, as early as knowing that the counselor had sent He Xinyao to this hospital, Ji Xu’an had guessed that He Xinyao would do this.

Because as early as before the bodyguard called her, Ji Xu’an had already received the recording file sent by Secretary Zhao.

Secretary Zhao’s efficiency was indeed very high. Ji Xu’an asked him to find a way to get the contents of the recording pen, and he did a beautiful job in a short time.

After listening to the content about that night in the recording pen, Ji Xu’an thought of Zheng Zhouzhou for the first time.

There were not many people who knew that Jiang Jiang was the other party involved in the news, and Zheng Zhouzhou happened to be one of them.

Moreover, she had always disliked Jiang Jiang, and Jiang Jiang also said that she could feel Zheng Zhouzhou intentionally or unintentionally targeting her, coupled with Zheng Zhouzhou’s strange ability to “predict” the future…

So Ji Xu’an asked Secretary Zhao to investigate in another direction to see if He Xinyao had a habit of chasing stars. Secretary Zhao agreed, but had not yet given her a reply.

If it was really confirmed that He Xinyao was related to Zheng Zhouzhou, Ji Xu’an would never let Zheng Zhouzhou go easily this time.

This person was like an unkillable cockroach, full of strangeness, and Ji Xu’an had to have someone keep a close eye on her.

In comparison, He Xinyao was much easier to deal with. For example, at this moment, Ji Xu’an was preparing to find an opportunity to clean her up, and He Xinyao bumped into the muzzle of the gun herself.

At first, Jiang Jiang heard Ji Xu’an say “Don’t worry about her” in the study, which was what Ji Xu’an said to the nurse.

Ji Xu’an’s original words were, “You leave her hanging for two days, and wait for her to offer a higher price before you agree to her.”

The nurse was uneasy, but she did as Ji Xu’an said, and didn’t reply to He Xinyao for two days.

He Xinyao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and learned from Zheng Zhouzhou’s staff that Ji Xu’an would go to B City on a business trip this weekend, and Xie Xiao would also go with her.

He Xinyao thought that she had to take this opportunity to quickly get Liang Junsheng’s exculpatory recording.

In the past two days, she had sent many messages to that nurse, and even raised the price to 600,000. Finally, the other party agreed to meet her.

As soon as they met, the other party didn’t waste any time with her and went straight to the point.

“I won’t help you ask him, but I can secretly take you in. You can do whatever you want.”

“If this matter is discovered, I will push all the responsibility on you. You can’t drag me down.”

He Xinyao gritted her teeth and agreed, “Okay.”

This result was better than she expected. At least she could see Liang Junsheng in person.

The nurse nodded and glanced at the door vigilantly, “Tomorrow I will bring you a spare set of work clothes. Tomorrow night, you will change your clothes and come in with me.”

He Xinyao’s heart was beating fast when she heard this. The feeling of doing bad things under Ji Xu’an’s nose made her nervous and excited, and at the same time, there was a sense of tragic heroism about to dedicate herself to her idol.

After the incident happened, with Ji Xu’an’s vengeful personality, she would most likely not let her go easily, but it didn’t matter, as long as she could help Zhouzhou solve Xie Xiao, all her efforts were worth it!

At that time, Zhouzhou would definitely find that she was the person who loved her the most in this world, and only she was willing to dedicate everything to Zhouzhou!

At that moment, He Xinyao was so caught up in her imagined scenarios that she couldn’t help but embellish them further. She completely forgot that Zheng Zhouzhou was now unwilling to personally reply to her messages. She also failed to consider the potential impact on her family if Ji Xu’an were to genuinely retaliate against her.

He Xinyao had already immersed herself in self-admiration, and only thought about how happy Zhouzhou would be after success, and completely forgot what consequences she would bear if she failed.

She was looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow night, but Jiang Jiang had already boarded the plane with Ji Xu’an.

This was Jiang Jiang’s first time taking a plane, and she couldn’t bear to blink her eyes. She had been following Ji Xu’an like a curious baby.

There were a few other people traveling with them. Jiang Jiang only politely greeted everyone at the beginning, and then focused her attention elsewhere. However, those few people would glance at Jiang Jiang from time to time, and the gossip in their eyes was about to overflow.

Is this the boss’s girlfriend?

They didn’t see her in person last time, but only saw someone in the company group talking about it. They didn’t expect the real person to look like this.

That face was bright and captivating, yet you could still see a hint of baby fat, lending it a touch of youthful innocence, as if it hadn’t fully matured yet.

In addition, Jiang Jiang didn’t like to wear heavy makeup, and her usual makeup was very light, and even her lipstick was a gentle color, so she looked even younger.

She and Ji Xu’an walked together, with completely different styles, but it wasn’t abrupt, because Ji Xu’an always restrained her aura in front of Jiang Jiang, and even lowered her head slightly to cooperate with Jiang Jiang when speaking, which made several subordinates exclaim in amazement.

Sure enough, no matter how decisive a person is usually, they are gentle and meticulous when they are in love.

Secretary Zhao bought first-class tickets for Ji Xu’an and Jiang Jiang, and the other people didn’t go with them. Jiang Jiang didn’t ask any more questions when she saw this.

Everything in front was very normal. When Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an walked into the waiting room one after the other, Ji Xu’an, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong, sister?”

Jiang Jiang poked her head out from behind Ji Xu’an, but unexpectedly met a pair of familiar eyes.

“Jiang Jiang!” Fu Xiaoyin waved to her happily, “What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

Jiang Jiang subconsciously glanced at Ji Xu’an’s expression and, as expected, found Ji Xu’an’s face was inscrutable. Not only did she subtly shield Jiang Jiang with her body, but she also switched the suitcase she was pulling from her left hand to her right, effectively creating a barrier between Jiang Jiang and Fu Xiaoyin.

Fu Xiaoyin curled her lips, “Is it necessary to guard against me like a thief?”

“If I remember correctly, Manager Fu doesn’t seem to be on vacation these two days.” Ji Xu’an let Jiang Jiang sit on the sofa on the other side, and she sat between Jiang Jiang and Fu Xiaoyin.

“I took a leave of absence.” Fu Xiaoyin smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, “I just asked for it this afternoon. President Ji may not have seen my leave slip yet, but I think President Ji should approve it.”

Ji Xu’an’s expression was indifferent, “Is that so.”

“Anyway, I’m already here. If it really doesn’t work, President Ji, you can deduct my salary.” Fu Xiaoyin shrugged her shoulders, ignoring Ji Xu’an’s indifferent attitude at all.

She admitted that she came here on purpose. Originally, another colleague happened to be on leave these two days, and she should have been the one to go on a business trip with Ji Xu’an, but who knew that Ji Xu’an chose another person.

Fu Xiaoyin didn’t understand why at first, but after secretly finding out that Jiang Jiang would also go, she understood what Ji Xu’an meant.

Isn’t it because she’s afraid that I’ll steal her girl?

Fu Xiaoyin secretly rolled her eyes. She hadn’t thought about doing this at first, but who knew that Ji Xu’an would guard against her like this.

Fu Xiaoyin was instead aroused by her rebellious spirit, and she had to come along!

Wasn’t Ji Xu’an just trying to have a relationship while working?

No way!

The atmosphere in the waiting room wasn’t pleasant. Fu Xiaoyin kept trying to find topics to chat with Jiang Jiang, and Ji Xu’an couldn’t block her mouth with a rag, so she could only sit aside with a straight face, almost writing “I’m unhappy” on her face.

Although Jiang Jiang was listening to Fu Xiaoyin most of the time, she didn’t completely ignore Ji Xu’an.

Among the snacks prepared in the waiting room, there was a potato chip that Jiang Jiang liked very much. She ate two slices herself, and then picked up another slice and fed it to Ji Xu’an’s mouth.

“Sister, you try it too.”

Fu Xiaoyin, who was still chattering on the side, suddenly seemed to have her neck pinched, and she looked at this scene with wide eyes, feeling that her existence was redundant.

Ji Xu’an was also stunned for a moment. She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Jiang, and Jiang Jiang was looking at her with expectant eyes, and Ji Xu’an’s figure was clearly reflected in her black and white apricot eyes.

Ji Xu’an’s originally anxious mood was suddenly soothed. There was a smile on her face, and she opened her thin lips slightly and bit the potato chip that Jiang Jiang fed her.

This potato chip was a bit big, and Ji Xu’an only bit off half of it. Her gaze had been fixed on Jiang Jiang’s face, and Jiang Jiang’s face turned red unconsciously. She pursed her lips and subconsciously took her hand back.

The remaining half of the potato chip felt like a hot potato in her hand. Unsure what to do with it, Jiang Jiang stared at the broken edge for a moment before suddenly popping it into her mouth.

Ji Xu’an paused first, and then silently lowered her eyes, and the fingers on her legs curled up slightly.

Jiang Jiang’s face suddenly turned red, and she seemed to realize what she had done after she finished it. She was holding the half of the potato chip and couldn’t swallow it or spit it out, and her whole body froze.

The two, who had been leaning together very naturally just now, suddenly became well-behaved at this time, like two strangers who didn’t know each other, and didn’t even meet their eyes for a moment.

Fu Xiaoyin felt the strange atmosphere in the waiting room and gradually figured out something.

No way, aren’t they engaged wives?

Why are they still so innocent?

An act that didn’t even count as an indirect kiss could make them both blush and dare not look at each other.

Fu Xiaoyin couldn’t help but think, then if it was really a mouth-to-mouth kiss, wouldn’t these two pass out?

What to do, she suddenly looked forward to it a little.

Should I help them?
