After the Flash Marriage, My Ex Who is a Movie Queen Keeps Flirting with Me - Chapter 10

Ever since her last mistake of entering the wrong room, Jiang Wanyu had been extra cautious. She made it a habit to mentally remind herself to double-check the door before entering, and she never made the same mistake again.

However, just because Jiang Wanyu was careful and avoided errors didn’t mean others would do the same.

Around eleven at night, Jiang Wanyu had already turned off the lights and drifted off to sleep. She was half-asleep when she faintly heard the door creak open.

Her mind foggy, she dismissed it as a hallucination and rolled over to continue sleeping.

Someone slipped into the room with a light, fluid motion.

The intruder wore a snow-white silk nightgown and glided silently onto Jiang Wanyu’s bed, as supple and boneless as a water snake. Her delicate, cool skin brushed against the fabric of Jiang Wanyu’s clothes, and even through the thin material, Jiang Wanyu could feel the intruder’s slightly feverish warmth.

Jiang Wanyu tried to ignore the faint movements and focus on sleeping, but the intruder wouldn’t allow it.

A mischievous hand groped wildly at her waist, the slippery touch sending a shiver through her.

Jiang Wanyu’s fingertips trembled as she jolted awake and whipped her head around. A person was now beside her.

The troublemaker’s eyes were tightly shut, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep in an instant.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Wanyu called her name.

She called several times, nearly shouting into her ear, before the person beside her finally stirred awake.

Ming Jiyue’s eyes were filled with confusion. “How did I get here?”

As if just noticing the person lying next to her, surprise flashed across her face. “Xiao Yu? Is this your room? I got up to use the bathroom, how did I end up here?”

Frowning, she rubbed her temples. “I must have been half-asleep and wandered into the wrong room.”

“It seems spending too much time with your wife really does make you catch everything.”

“……”

There was no arguing with that logic. Jiang Wanyu didn’t know what to say. No wonder she’s Best Actress Ming—her acting is flawless.

She could only reply, “It’s fine.”

“Did I disturb your rest?” Ming Jiyue’s eyes darted around. “Now that I’m here, what about tonight…?”

Jiang Wanyu: “Since you’re awake, go back to your own room.”

Ming Jiyue winked, her thick lashes fluttering. “What would happen if I sneaked into your room?”

Jiang Wanyu recalled what she had said earlier.

“What if you sneak into my room?”

“Just throw me out.”

“What if I sneak into your room to sleep?”

“…Don’t do that.”

What a completely unthreatening threat.

Jiang Wanyu’s expression turned stern. “No means no.”

Ming Jiyue had anticipated her resistance and, when one plan failed, immediately devised another. Her expression turned serious. “Actually, I came because I discovered a very serious problem.”

Jiang Wanyu was taken in by her act. “What problem?”

“Ever since sleeping with you once, I can’t fall asleep alone anymore.”

Jiang Wanyu: …

Her tension dissipated. She pulled the blanket over herself. “Go back to sleep.”

Left with no other options, Ming Jiyue resorted to whining. “I’m already here! Our rooms are so far apart—it’s such a hassle to go back. What’s wrong with letting me stay one night?”

Anyone overhearing would think their rooms were eight thousand miles apart, requiring a high-speed train and a plane to travel between them.

Without hesitation, Ming Jiyue threw herself onto the bed, pulled the blanket over herself, and wrapped her arms around Jiang Wanyu’s waist.

Her arms tightened around Jiang Wanyu, and she couldn’t resist adding, “Xiao Yu, you have such a great figure. Your waist is so slender.”

“Hmm, and…” Ming Jiyue’s cool fingertips slid down, slipping beneath Jiang Wanyu’s pajamas. Jiang Wanyu immediately gripped her wrist.

Jiang Wanyu: ……

Jiang Wanyu tried to pry away Ming Jiyue’s wandering hands. “We agreed on separate bedrooms.”

Ming Jiyue gazed at her with pleading eyes. “Xiao Yu.”

Jiang Wanyu averted her gaze, finally relenting. “Fine, you can stay if you promise to keep your hands to yourself.”

At this, Ming Jiyue’s mischievous hands instantly became obedient, though she still clung tightly to Jiang Wanyu.

“Honestly, what’s wrong with sleeping with me?” Ming Jiyue muttered while spreading out the blanket. “Are you upset that I’m not holding you as tightly as I did that night I mistakenly wandered into your room? Or that I’m not calling your name in my sleep?”

Jiang Wanyu: “I…”

“I knew it! You’re just too shy to admit it,” Ming Jiyue declared with a knowing smirk. “Okay, tonight I’ll hold you tight and even murmur your name in my sleep. Will that satisfy you?”

Jiang Wanyu: ……

Whatever you say.

Jiang Wanyu sighed and lay back, letting the person beside her pull her into their arms as promised, offering no resistance, as docile as a doll.

Ming Jiyue was slightly surprised. “So obedient? You could at least put up a fight.”

“?”

“It would make it more exciting. Have you ever tried cosplay?”

Jiang Wanyu: … What kind of nonsense is this person thinking?

Ming Jiyue leaned half her face against Jiang Wanyu’s chest, her dark, gemstone-like eyes gleaming, the small mole at the corner of her eye adding to her lively expression. Her gaze held a hint of curiosity.

Jiang Wanyu sighed. “Would resisting even matter?”

Ming Jiyue smiled and shook her head, her long, silky black hair flowing like water, rippling with the movement. “No, it wouldn’t.”

Jiang Wanyu casually smoothed Ming Jiyue’s hair. “Then why bother resisting?”

Turning off the bedside lamp, Jiang Wanyu wrapped her arm around Ming Jiyue, adjusting their positions for comfort.

“Sleep well.”

“Good night.”

Ever since Jiang Wanyu moved, Tian Cheng had been curious to see what a legendary nine-figure home looked like and what it felt like to live there. She had been wanting to visit their place.

Ming Jiyue naturally had no objections to Jiang Wanyu’s friend coming over, especially since she had known Tian Cheng since college.

One weekend, when both wives were home, Tian Cheng accepted their invitation and arrived.

From the moment she entered the gated community to the moment she stepped into their home, Tian Cheng marveled at everything.

She gazed at the couple with genuine envy, her eyes brimming with admiration. “Such a huge house for just the two of you… Don’t you ever feel lonely? Bored? Empty and cold?”

“Do you ever post on social media: ‘I don’t need a lot of money, I need a lot of love’?”

Jiang Wanyu: ?

Ming Jiyue: ……

Hearing this, Ming Jiyue pulled Jiang Wanyu into her arms, leaned down to kiss her forehead, and said with a smile, “Sorry, no. Because we have not only a lot of money, but also a lot of love.”

Tian Cheng was suddenly struck by a massive dose of PDA, leaving her stunned. “Holy sh1t! How can a 37°C mouth say such icy words? Yuyu, control your wife!”

Jiang Wanyu: “…Stop it.”

Tian Cheng: “Did you hear that? Stop it!”

Jiang Wanyu: “You stop it too.”

Tian Cheng: ???

Tian Cheng’s eyes widened. “She’s the one causing trouble!”

Jiang Wanyu, logical and direct, struck at the root of the problem: “If you hadn’t started it, she wouldn’t be acting up.”

Tian Cheng gritted her teeth. “Even if I didn’t say a word, she’d still flaunt her affection right in front of me, I swear!”

Jiang Wanyu pretended not to hear that. “It’s getting late. Let’s have lunch first.”

Tian Cheng: I hate people who take sides!

Meanwhile, Ming Jiyue, having gotten away with it, flashed Tian Cheng a victory sign when Jiang Wanyu wasn’t looking.

Jiang Wanyu, you used to be so fair and impartial! What’s going on?

Tian Cheng bit back her anger, enduring it again and again, until she finally snapped. “Have you ever heard of these idioms?” she called out to Jiang Wanyu.

“What?”

“Seeing beauty and forgetting friendship.”

“Blindness to reason due to lust.”

“Lust clouds the mind.”

Jiang Wanyu: ……
