After Teasing the Heroine and Running Away, I Was Forced into Love - Chapter 29

He Roushuang carried Shi Qing all the way back to the car. As she gently placed Shi Qing in the passenger seat and reached to fasten her seatbelt, she felt her wrist being gripped.

“Sister, is that you?”

He Roushuang was surprised that the little drunkard could still recognize her. She couldn’t help but chuckle and playfully flick Shi Qing’s nose.

“Who else would it be? But how can you tell it’s me now?”

Just moments ago, she was mistaking me for Qin Wenlu.

“Your scent is different.”

Shi Qing leaned in completely, like an elegant cat, her warm nose pressed against He Roushuang’s neck. Her words were slightly slurred, as if she were chewing on a chewy, bouncy gummy.

“So fragrant…”

Shi Qing remembered the scent of the person before her, a scent that brought her a romantic sense of security. Even in her drunken state, she could still recognize it.

Stupid straight girl… don’t come any closer!

He Roushuang couldn’t help but scream inwardly, tilting her head back slightly to keep her chin from brushing against Shi Qing’s forehead.

She was barely holding her own against this onslaught.

Shi Qing noticed He Roushuang subtly distancing herself, a flicker of displeasure crossing her face as she narrowed her eyes.

Why?

Why… does Elder Sister always run away from me?

As if I were some kind of monster.

Tired of this feeling, Shi Qing decisively pressed her hand against the back of He Roushuang’s hand, her other arm wrapping firmly around her waist.

I won’t let you escape again.

“Shi Qing… you… you need to calm down…”

He Roushuang’s words were cut short by soft lips pressing against hers. The kiss carried a hint of alcohol, yet it wasn’t unpleasant.

Shi Qing smelled sweet.

Despite the wine, there was no strange odor.

After a moment of reluctant enjoyment, He Roushuang let out a soft moan, then snapped back to reality. I’m really falling apart!

She tried to push Shi Qing away, but it was futile. The struggle only seemed to provoke Shi Qing, who deepened the kiss with increasing intensity.

He Roushuang: ……

I’m doomed. I’m being bullied like this by a straight girl!

How will I ever face anyone again?

He Roushuang raised her hand to slap Shi Qing, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. The Female Lead’s face was too beautiful, with just a hint of baby fat.

It was simply the most beautiful face she had ever seen. Slapping it would be a crime!

It showed absolutely no respect for such divine beauty.

He Roushuang had no choice but to withdraw her hand.

She stood there for what felt like an eternity, the only sound in her ears the frantic, irregular pounding of her own heart.

“Sister, you’re so sweet.”

Shi Qing finally opened her eyes and gazed at He Roushuang. She was completely drunk; otherwise, she wouldn’t have acted so recklessly after He Roushuang had repeatedly explained herself.

He Roushuang didn’t know how to respond.

“Don’t do that again,” she said. “The privacy screen wasn’t even closed.”

If not for the driver and bodyguard’s professional ethics, one of them would have opened the car door and fled the moment Shi Qing lunged at He Roushuang.

Even closing the car door was done with utmost caution.

The bodyguard approached, carrying a black briefcase that now contained only an empty red envelope.

“Why did you come out?” he asked.

Realizing his mistake, he glanced thoughtfully at the car, his expression suddenly dawning with understanding.

Oh~

The young mistress and Miss Shi must be enjoying a romantic moment alone inside the car.

No wonder the driver had come out. It seemed they wouldn’t be able to disturb them for a while.

Both men prepared to squat in the parking lot for several hours. The driver even opened a food delivery app, ready to order some late-night snacks.

“It’s late. Want some grilled skewers?”

“Order a few mushroom and chicken feet skewers.”

The bodyguard took a drag from his cigarette. He didn’t mind Miss He taking her time in the car; her temper had improved significantly in recent months.

No, “improved” wasn’t quite the right word. It was more like she had transferred the temper she used to unleash on her subordinates onto the young master.

Rumor had it the two were locked in a fierce power struggle at the company, and they had even gotten into a fight this morning.

While Miss He had always disliked her elder brother, she had never made such a public spectacle of their conflict, turning it into a matter of public knowledge.

How strange.

As the bodyguard pondered this, the driver eagerly agreed.

“Got it!”

The driver nodded.

But before he could finalize the order, the car window slowly rolled down.

He Roushuang’s faintly flushed face emerged from the window, her gaze fixed on the two men squatting on the ground.

“What are you still standing there for? Get over here and drive.”

He Roushuang looked at the two men hiding nearby with a mixture of helplessness and exasperation. She couldn’t say much, after all, since her muscle weakness had prevented her from opening the door herself.

The bodyguard and driver couldn’t exactly watch a live s3x scene in the car—that would be incredibly awkward.

He could only clear his throat awkwardly.

The driver scurried back to his seat, and by then, He Roushuang and Shi Qing had already created some distance between them.

But her clothes were disheveled, especially the top button of her blouse, which had come undone.

To be honest, I should have known better, He Roushuang thought, inwardly chastising herself. As the Female Lead, my ability to stir up desire is unparalleled.

He Roushuang pulled out her phone and opened the camera. Looking at her reflection on the screen, she looked exactly like a respectable woman who had been groped by a drunkard.

Where’s the domineering aura of a CEO?

But Shi Qing wasn’t some drunken vagrant; she was a soft, fragrant beauty.

He Roushuang first inwardly condemned her own wavering resolve.

Then, she silently relished Shi Qing’s weight leaning against her shoulder. He Roushuang realized she no longer felt as resistant to Shi Qing’s presence.

Oh no!

Is this a sign of my heart fluttering?

Though He Roushuang didn’t want to admit it, there was no denying it: her heart had fluttered. She didn’t even know what the Female Lead was thinking, but the way Shi Qing clung to her so drunkenly…

Maybe she feels a little something for me too.

Am I destined to only fall for straight women? He Roushuang thought. That would be so tragic. I’d have to go through the exhausting process of trying to turn them gay.

But that wasn’t the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was grappling with the monumental shift in her worldview that would come with changing the Female Lead’s sexual orientation.

He Roushuang, have you really thought this through?

He Roushuang didn’t know for sure, but she was the kind of person who never regretted her choices once she made them. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to confront the Male Lead head-on.

The driver wasn’t driving very fast, even slower than usual. This was because Shi Qing was drunk, and driving too fast might make her dizzy or nauseous. As Miss He’s personal driver, he had surpassed countless competitors to earn this position, so his ability to read the room was naturally exceptional.

However, because of the slower pace, the journey to the apartment took longer than usual, giving He Roushuang ample time to ponder the question.

Do I want to love Shi Qing? she asked herself inwardly.

Yes, I want to love her—I want to love her deeply! a voice screamed in her heart.

But the consequences of loving a straight woman were always devastating, weren’t they? He Roushuang thought. Shi Qing might very well meet her true love and abandon her.

After all, their relationship wasn’t pure; it was entangled with mutual benefits. Could this even be considered love?
