When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 63

When Ji Xu’an got home from work that night, Jiang Jiang wasn’t asleep yet.

Ji Heyuan, as expected, stayed overnight at the apartment. She didn’t even give Jiang Jiang a chance to speak, and went straight into Ji Xu’an’s room, leaving Jiang Jiang standing alone at the door, looking at the closed door with hesitation.

Indeed, according to the previous habits, whenever Ji Heyuan stayed overnight, Ji Xu’an should sleep in Jiang Jiang’s room.

But the problem was that such a thing had just happened between them, and it wasn’t appropriate to lie on the same bed as intimately as before.

But facing Ji Heyuan’s confused expression, Jiang Jiang didn’t know how to explain.

With her understanding of Ji Heyuan, once Ji Heyuan knew, the whole world would know.

In the end, Jiang Jiang could only go back to her room first.

She didn’t know when Ji Xu’an would be home, so she left a crack in the door, and then kept her ears perked up, listening to the movements outside.

Until the sound of the door opening rang out, Jiang Jiang poked her head out of the room, leaning against the door frame and looking out.

Ji Xu’an was facing Jiang Jiang sideways, looking down and unfastening her watch strap. She was still wearing the shirt and suit she had worn during the day, her long hair hanging loosely behind her, her whole body half-hidden in the darkness, and the halo of light cast a somewhat blurred color on her cold and beautiful face.

Jiang Jiang didn’t speak. She just tilted her head and quietly looked at Ji Xu’an, the emotions in her eyes were neither salty nor bland, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Ji Xu’an noticed Jiang Jiang’s gaze. She turned her head to look at Jiang Jiang, her expression slightly stunned, and then she directly lifted her foot and walked towards Jiang Jiang, stopping in front of Jiang Jiang, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

She was much taller than Jiang Jiang, and Jiang Jiang had to look up to see Ji Xu’an’s eyes clearly.

In Ji Xu’an’s eyes, Jiang Jiang only saw seriousness and concern, and her deep black eyes were filled with her figure.

Jiang Jiang tucked the stray hairs around her ear, and answered irrelevantly, “Xiaoyuan is probably asleep.”

Ji Xu’an immediately understood what she meant. She looked at Jiang Jiang’s slightly lowered eyebrows, her expression didn’t change at all because of Jiang Jiang’s words, and there was no trace of disappointment or dissatisfaction in her eyes, “It’s okay, you go to sleep, I’ll just sleep with Xiaoyuan. If it doesn’t work, there are extra quilts at home, I can also sleep on the sofa.”

Jiang Jiang bit her lip, her inability to hide her emotions plain to see. Ji Xu’an instantly recognized her inner turmoil and embarrassment.

“It’s really okay, I’m not coaxing you,” Ji Xu’an said softly, “I used to be like this, I’m not uncomfortable.”

Before sleeping with Jiang Jiang, she often had insomnia, unable to sleep all night long. For Ji Xu’an, the days when she shared a bed with Jiang Jiang were an exception.

But Jiang Jiang had no obligation to accommodate her, and Ji Xu’an didn’t want to make things difficult for her.

Hearing these words, Jiang Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She avoided Ji Xu’an’s gaze, and her voice was also soft, “Then… then let’s just do that for tonight.”

Hearing this, Ji Xu’an not only wasn’t disappointed, but also slightly curled the corners of her lips, “Jiang Jiang, I’m very happy.”

“If you encounter something you don’t want to do in the future, you can also say it directly like today, without having to wrong yourself.”

“Of course,” Ji Xu’an’s voice sank a little, “I also promise you that what happened before will never happen again.”

She was referring to the fact that Jiang Jiang had clearly said no, but she pretended not to hear it.

Jiang Jiang’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her expression was also a little unnatural, “Hmm, I know.”

She paused, and suddenly spoke of another matter, “Actually, after we separated that night, Sister Fu explained to me that she put something in the wine.”

Ji Xu’an’s expression was unsurprised, as if she already knew.

She knew what Jiang Jiang wanted to ask. Without waiting for Jiang Jiang to continue probing, Ji Xu’an said softly, “I know, Fu Xiaoyin told me everything.”

She stared unblinkingly into Jiang Jiang’s eyes, her tone not cold, and even with a strange tenderness, “Jiang Jiang, the fault for the wine doesn’t lie with you, it was Fu Xiaoyin’s idea alone, you don’t need to feel uneasy about it.”

“Fu Xiaoyin is purely suffering the consequences of her own actions. If she comes to you to beg for mercy, don’t pay any attention to her.”

She probably thought that Jiang Jiang wanted to say good things for Fu Xiaoyin. Without waiting for Jiang Jiang to bring it up, Ji Xu’an simply refused.

Hearing Ji Xu’an’s meaning, it seemed that she really didn’t suspect herself, and the big stone in her heart finally fell down.

“It’s fine for Sister to make the decision on this matter, I have no objections.”

After all, to some extent, Ji Xu’an was also a victim, and she had the right to decide how to “repay” Fu Xiaoyin.

Hearing her call herself Sister, Jiang Jiang’s tone didn’t seem as angry as it was in the morning, and Ji Xu’an couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

Moreover, Jiang Jiang clearly didn’t plan to care about Fu Xiaoyin, and Ji Xu’an’s mood was even better when she thought of this.

Seeing that Jiang Jiang didn’t seem to have anything else to say, she suggested, “Then, you should rest first, I’ll go back to my room too?”

Jiang Jiang hummed, “Good night, Sister.”

Ji Xu’an’s lips curled slightly, and her voice became even softer, “Good night.”

…

Ji Heyuan wasn’t asleep yet, and was lying in bed browsing Weibo. When she heard the movement at the door, she suddenly sat up from the bed.

“Who?!”

Ji Xu’an turned on the light with a snap, her tone light, “It’s me.”

Ji Heyuan patted her chest, still in shock, “You scared me to death!”

Ji Xu’an glanced at her, “If you don’t do anything wrong, you don’t have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.”

Ji Heyuan smiled sheepishly. She was really doing something wrong – Ji Heyuan was looking at Zheng Zhouzhou’s Weibo.

At nine o’clock tonight, Zheng Zhouzhou suddenly posted a very inexplicable update.

Why was this update inexplicable?

Because its content was puzzling.

Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t say a word, she just posted a picture.

It was an abstract painting, and the fans searched the entire internet but couldn’t find the original picture. It should have been painted by Zheng Zhouzhou herself.

Everyone couldn’t understand what this painting wanted to express, and they left their guesses in the comment area. Ji Heyuan was also very curious.

However, the good thing about her compared to ordinary fans was that she could directly send a message to ask Zheng Zhouzhou.

Ji Heyuan did indeed do this, but Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t reply to her.

Ji Heyuan looked through her chat history with Zheng Zhouzhou. Compared to before, the frequency of their chats had greatly decreased during this period, and they couldn’t even say a word a day.

The strange thing was that Ji Heyuan didn’t seem to be very sad. No matter what happened before, she would share it with Zheng Zhouzhou at the first time, but now she didn’t have that urge to let Zheng Zhouzhou know.

Actually, Ji Heyuan had already had this feeling the last time she gave all her pocket money to Zheng Zhouzhou.

Sometimes she would feel that she didn’t actually like Zheng Zhouzhou that much. Her attention to Zheng Zhouzhou was only out of instinct. Even Ji Heyuan herself couldn’t explain why. It was as if there was a voice in the dark telling her to be nice to Zheng Zhouzhou.

Ji Heyuan couldn’t help but look through Zheng Zhouzhou’s WeChat Moments again. Although the other party didn’t explicitly mention someone, Ji Heyuan had a feeling that Zheng Zhouzhou must have met a new friend.

She wasn’t that important to Zheng Zhouzhou anymore, so if she didn’t look for the other party, the other party wouldn’t take the initiative to look for her.

Maybe this was the decent estrangement of adults. Their personalities weren’t suitable for long-term relationships. Zheng Zhouzhou wanted too much, and she could only give too little.

Ji Heyuan breathed a long sigh of relief. She covered the phone screen and secretly glanced at Ji Xu’an, who was facing away from her, and the last bit of melancholy in her heart disappeared.

Ji Heyuan thought that dating didn’t seem very interesting to her.

At this moment, the face of Qu Jingran suddenly appeared in her mind. Ji Heyuan’s expression stiffened, and she quickly shook her head, suppressing a certain absurd thought.

Never mind, it was more interesting to watch others date!

Look at Sister and Xie Jiang Jiang, how sweet!

This thought didn’t last until Ji Xu’an came out after taking a shower and lifted the quilt to prepare to go to bed, when Ji Heyuan suddenly realized something was wrong.

“You… aren’t you going to sleep with Xie Jiang Jiang?!”

“Hmm.” Ji Xu’an responded casually.

Ji Heyuan widened her eyes, “Why?!”

“Why so many questions?”

“Did you guys quarrel?” Ji Heyuan asked.

Ji Xu’an was silent for two seconds, “No.”

She didn’t plan to explain the reason to Ji Heyuan. Ji Heyuan’s mouth couldn’t keep a secret at all.

“But…” Ji Heyuan was almost dying of curiosity, “Xie Jiang Jiang is alone in an empty room, how lonely!”

“Don’t you feel bad and want to be with her?”

Ji Xu’an closed her eyes with patience. If I could, would I still choose to come and sleep with you?

Ji Xu’an suddenly felt that her thoughts were still a bit problematic. Perhaps I should really sleep on the sofa.

Ji Heyuan hadn’t noticed Ji Xu’an’s depression, and was still constantly stabbing her heart, “Such a good wife, you’re willing to let her sleep alone, really, I feel sorry for you!”

Ji Xu’an’s gaze suddenly fell on her.

Ji Heyuan quickly spat twice and explained with a stiff face, “I don’t mean that! I mean, aren’t you afraid that a rival in love will take advantage of the situation?”

So, don’t grab my quilt, hurry up and go sleep with Xie Jiang Jiang!

Ji Xu’an looked at her steadily for a long time before making a final decision, “If you don’t want to, you can go sleep on the sofa.”

Ji Heyuan silently pulled the quilt up a little, “Okay, okay.”

She didn’t dare to speak at all, she felt that if she said one more word, Ji Xu’an would suspect that she was really coveting her sister-in-law.

Ji Heyuan was also very aggrieved. She believed that she had never had any improper behavior towards Xie Jiang Jiang, at least not in reality.

As for dreaming, can that be the same?

Why does Ji Xu’an always suspect me?

Ji Heyuan shuddered. Could it be… that Sister actually knew what I did in my dreams?

Did Ji Xu’an have telepathy?!

Ji Heyuan swallowed and secretly said, “Ji Xu’an, the great demon,” while observing Ji Xu’an’s reaction.

Ji Xu’an: …

“Sleeping in my bed and still scolding me?”

Ji Heyuan was stunned, her eyes particularly terrified, “Yo….you… you!!”

You really have it?!!

Ji Xu’an didn’t want to pay attention to her at all.

This idiot, all her thoughts were written on her face, making it difficult for people not to see them.

If Ji Heyuan knew what Ji Xu’an was thinking, she might accuse her of being biased again.

When Jiang Jiang does the same thing, it appears innocent and cute, but when Ji Heyuan does it, it appears stupid.

Neither of the two sisters slept well that night. Ji Heyuan was still struggling with whether her sister had telepathy, and muttered about Ji Xu’an all night long.

Ji Xu’an thought about even more things, but most of them were related to Jiang Jiang.

Grandma told her not to worry, saying that Jiang Jiang would definitely agree to her in the end.

Grandma wouldn’t lie to her. The reason she could say that was probably because Jiang Jiang had already agreed to this matter in front of her.

Ji Xu’an was both expectant and uneasy, afraid that in the end, she was just thinking too much. As long as she didn’t get Jiang Jiang’s verbal reply, she couldn’t feel at ease at all.

When they got up the next morning, as expected, both Ji Xu’an and Ji Heyuan had faint dark circles under their eyes. Fortunately, it wasn’t serious, and makeup could cover it up.

After sending Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan to school, Ji Xu’an drove to the company again, followed by a busy morning.

Until there was only half an hour left before the time agreed upon with Zheng Zhouzhou, she set off with Secretary Zhao to the private restaurant that had been booked in advance.

Zheng Zhouzhou had already arrived. From a distance, Ji Xu’an saw several strong bodyguards guarding the door, probably brought by Zheng Zhouzhou.

Ji Xu’an’s footsteps paused almost imperceptibly. Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t tell her that she had brought other people with her.

It seemed that she is a little smarter than I thought, and knew to ask for help.

The He Xinyao incident likely left Zheng Zhouzhou with lingering anxieties; she feared Ji Xu’an might employ similar tactics against her.

Ji Xu’an didn’t come alone either. In addition to Secretary Zhao, she also brought two bodyguards.

The two sides met at the door, and the atmosphere had an unspeakable tension.

The closer she got, the more Ji Xu’an could feel that the aura on those bodyguards wasn’t something ordinary people could have. Compared to ordinary bodyguards, they were more like mercenaries who had undergone rigorous training.

Ji Xu’an’s expression didn’t change, but she secretly pondered in her heart.

Who exactly was this helper that Zheng Zhouzhou had invited?

Ji Xu’an had people guarding Zheng Zhouzhou twenty-four hours a day. The information that had been sent back recently showed that Zheng Zhouzhou hadn’t even left the house much.

Where did she get the chance to contact such a person, and still be able to persuade the other party to support her?

Ji Xu’an wanted to know more and more, what exactly was strange about Zheng Zhouzhou?

Was it what I had guessed before?
