Big Miss and White Moonlight, Stop Fighting! - Chapter 43
Chapter 43: A Kiss of Bl00d
Wen Wuxin hadn’t expected the other person to call her that, and for a moment, she forgot how to ease the awkwardness and could only say stiffly, “Miss Jiang.”
Wen Wuxin was wearing a sleeveless dress today, and the thin green strap on her right shoulder had slipped down. Jiang Qingyue naturally reached out to adjust the strap. “Are you hungry?”
Her fingertips brushed against the delicate skin of Wen Wuxin’s thin shoulder, causing an uncontrollable shiver.
Wen Wuxin looked away. She forced a smile and changed the subject. “Perfect. These three also have a lot of business with the Jiang family. Miss Jiang, you should get to know them.”
Before Wen Wuxin could speak, the three people opposite them took the initiative to introduce themselves.
The three of them hadn’t planned on having too much contact with Jiang Qingyue, but the atmosphere between Jiang Qingyue and Wen Wuxin was truly unusual. Their gossiping hearts were burning, and they had to find something out.
Looking at the four people who were chatting, Wen Wuxin, for the first time, wanted to genuinely distance herself from Jiang Qingyue.
The actions Jiang Qingyue was taking at the welcome back party made Wen Wuxin feel like a stranger. She didn’t recognize this older sister anymore.
Why would Jiang Qingyue put herself in such an unfavorable position?
Wen Wuxin didn’t understand.
Right now, the best thing Jiang Qingyue could do was to draw a clear line between herself and Wen Wuxin.
Wen Wuxin was thinking of an excuse to leave, but the three people opposite her changed the subject again and turned the conversation back to her.
President Li smiled gently. “It seems that Miss Jiang will definitely achieve great things in the Jiang family in the future. I’m really envious of your Jiang family. Both of your daughters are so capable. But I heard that recently, the Jiang family has been having one good thing after another? Isn’t that right, Miss Wen?”
President Wen also chimed in. “Hey, Miss Wen, the ring you’re wearing, is it a couple’s ring with President Jiang’s?”
This was a silver ring that Jiang Qingyue had made by hand. The craftsmanship was rough. It was a bit of a stretch to call them couple’s rings. The only thing you could say was that the craftsmanship of the two rings was the same, and you could tell they were made by the same person.
But this didn’t stop President Wen from lying through his teeth.
Wen Wuxin subconsciously covered her left hand, trying to hide the engagement ring.
But then she remembered that she had specifically worn it for this occasion, so how could she hide it?
But she still had to play the role of the loyal girlfriend, so Wen Wuxin, with a hint of shyness, said softly, “Everything is up to President Jiang.”
It was as if she had no right to choose anything.
But Wen Wuxin’s answer made President Li and the other two understand. They exchanged glances and laughed heartily. “You and President Jiang are a perfect couple in our circle. You’re so well-matched. You’re about to get marr…”
“Xin Xin,” Jiang Qingyue suddenly interrupted. “Do you want to eat some grape cake?”
President Li and the other two were confused. They looked at Jiang Qingyue, whose expression was normal.
But Wen Wuxin knew that Jiang Qingyue was angry.
So President Li quickly smoothed things over. “Speaking of which, Miss Jiang seems to have a very good relationship with Miss Wen, too.”
By all accounts, Jiang Qingyue shouldn’t be cold to Wen Wuxin, after all, she was her sister-in-law, but…
Jiang Qingyue seemed to have crossed that line.
Jiang Qingyue’s smile was a little more genuine this time. “Yes, I really like Xin Xin. She and I are like old friends who have been reunited after a long time.”
President Li and the other two exchanged glances again. Jiang Qingyue didn’t hide the emotions in her eyes. They felt a little sarcastic inside. It seemed that Jiang Qingyue was just like her sister; they both liked women.
Wen Wuxin’s fingertips were cold. She could only give a polite smile. “As long as Miss Jiang is happy.”
And Jiang Qingyue also naturally put her arm around Wen Wuxin’s waist. “Your heels are quite high today. Are you tired? Do you want to go rest?”
Through the thin fabric, Wen Wuxin could feel the warmth of the other person’s fingertips.
It wasn’t hot, but it made her inexplicably want to run away.
President Li and the other two were still talking and laughing on the surface, but their jaws were about to drop.
What’s going on?! Jiang Qingyue is still here.
Wen Wuxin immediately tried to remove the other person’s hand, but as soon as she grabbed the other person’s wrist, Jiang Qingyue lightly pinched her waist, and Wen Wuxin’s body instantly went soft.
Just as Wen Wuxin was about to stumble to the side, Jiang Qingyue quickly pulled her toward her. Wen Wuxin almost fell into Jiang Qingyue’s arms.
“You really are tired. Xin Xin, why don’t you go upstairs and rest first?”
Jiang Qingyue’s voice was extremely gentle. Wen Wuxin bit her lip tightly and didn’t even dare to lift her head. “No, it’s not necessary. I’m going to go see what President Jiang is doing.”
The atmosphere instantly turned extremely cold.
But it was only for a moment. Jiang Qingyue’s emotions changed so quickly that President Li thought he had seen wrong.
The Jiang Qingyue from just now had a cold and terrifying look in her eyes.
But she quickly adjusted her state. “She’s still busy. You don’t need to worry about her. If Xin Xin isn’t tired, then let’s chat a little longer.”
Jiang Qingyue beckoned, and a waiter brought over a plate of grape cake. She used a fork to poke a grape. The plump fruit was still covered in white cream.
“Try some?” Jiang Qingyue said softly.
The grape was already at her lips. Wen Wuxin felt a little helpless.
It shouldn’t be like this.
And looking at the three people across from her who were watching the show, Jiang Qingyue also smiled. “The Jiang family will indeed have a lot of good things happening recently. Not long after my welcome back party ends, another piece of good news will be announced.”
President Li really wanted to ask what she meant. Are you going to fight Jiang Qingyue for her girlfriend?
But she still held back. After all, in the business world, as long as there were still business dealings, many things couldn’t be broken down.
Wen Wuxin saw that things were getting more and more complicated and was about to explain, but as soon as her cherry-red lips parted, the cold grape was put into her mouth.
She bit down, and the sweet juice burst in her mouth. The grape tasted very delicious, but Wen Wuxin couldn’t taste it.
She looked at Jiang Qingyue, who was still talking to people in the distance. “Miss Jiang, I’ll go upstairs to rest now.”
“I’ll take you up.”
As Wen Wuxin had expected, Jiang Qingyue offered to take her.
The event was being held at the Jiang family’s main residence, and it wasn’t far for Wen Wuxin to get back to her bedroom, but Jiang Qingyue insisted on taking her.
It was laughable. Jiang Qingyue was the star of this party, yet everyone was talking to Jiang Qingyue more.
Jiang Qingyue had been here for so long, and no one had come to talk to her.
But the person in question didn’t seem to care. Seeing President Li and the other two’s eyes darting around, she knew that she had achieved her goal.
The two of them walked up the stairs in silence and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Because her back was facing Jiang Qingyue, she didn’t notice. In addition, no one said anything, so she continued to talk to others about new projects.
Wen Wuxin was still living in the same bedroom as Jiang Qingyue, while Jiang Qingyue’s bedroom was very far from hers. Although they were on the same floor, the two of them had just walked up the stairs and were about to part ways.
Wen Wuxin was hesitating whether to just stand there and make things clear, but Jiang Qingyue pulled her hand and walked straight to Jiang Qingyue’s bedroom.
Bang.
After opening the bedroom door, Jiang Qingyue immediately closed it and locked it.
Wen Wuxin was so focused on the words she was about to say that she ignored the obsession in Jiang Qingyue’s eyes.
“Miss Jiang, I…”
“Don’t call me that,” Jiang Qingyue quickly refused.
Wen Wuxin pursed her lips. She took a deep breath, and finally calmed her emotions.
“Sister Qingyue.”
“Yes, I’m here,” Jiang Qingyue’s eyes finally showed a gentle smile. She replied softly, just as she had countless times in her youth.
Wen Wuxin knew that even if she forced a smile, it would look very ugly, so she simply didn’t smile. She said with a blank expression, one word at a time.
“Sister, I admit that I originally got close to Jiang Qingyue to find the truth, but now that you’re back, none of that matters anymore. And in the process of getting to know her…”
Wen Wuxin covered her face with her hands. “Of course, I admit that I don’t love her as much as I pretend to, but I’m not without feelings for her either. I do like her.”
It seems that when I cover my face, it’s easier to lie.
Wen Wuxin continued, “Now, we have a happy ending. You’re back, and I’m going to marry Jiang Qingyue. And you, whether in the past or now, will always be a very important older sister to me.”
“I do have feelings for you, but they’re not the same as the feelings I have for Jiang Qingyue. I can tell the difference. This isn’t love.”
Jiang Qingyue didn’t interrupt her this time.
She even waited for three to five seconds after Wen Wuxin finished speaking.
“Are you done talking?”
Wen Wuxin put her hands down and nodded slightly.
Jiang Qingyue suddenly grabbed Wen Wuxin’s hands and lunged forward.
Wen Wuxin tried to dodge. “What are you doing?!”
The fierce struggle was met with an even tighter restraint. The two of them were pressed together like conjoined twins, and in the end, they fell onto the soft bed together.
“Don’t do this. I already told you… mmm…”
Wen Wuxin wanted to explain, but halfway through her words, an intense kiss made her unable to speak anymore.
This kiss was more intense than any she had experienced before. Wen Wuxin could even taste the bl00d spreading between their lips.
Wen Wuxin tried desperately to push her away, but the more she resisted, the more the other person seemed to take, like a greedy beast.
It wasn’t until Wen Wuxin was about to suffocate that Jiang Qingyue mercifully ended the kiss.
Panting slightly, she propped her arms on the bed and looked down at Wen Wuxin. Jiang Qingyue’s voice was a little hoarse. “Would a sister kiss her sister like this? Xin Xin.”
Wen Wuxin was just panicked. “I told you I only see you as a sister. Why are you still doing this?!”
“Heh.” Jiang Qingyue let out a small laugh, and a hint of obsession and sorrow appeared in her eyes. “Wen Wuxin, I’ve never just seen you as my sister.”
“I was there for so many of your firsts.”
“The first time you won an award in a painting competition, the first time you learned to bake a cake, the first time you curled your hair, the first time you put on lipstick, the first time…”
“Stop talking, please, just stop,” Wen Wuxin begged with a trembling voice.
“While I was playing the role of a good sister and doing these things with you, I couldn’t help but develop those unseemly thoughts. I originally planned to suppress them for a lifetime.”
“But Xin Xin, why can Jiang Qingyue do this, but I can’t?”
The powerful emotion was defeated in an instant. Jiang Qingyue truly couldn’t understand it and couldn’t accept it.
Jiang Qingyue’s warm tears fell into Wen Wuxin’s eyes. Both of their visions became blurry.
“We finally got to see each other again. Over all these years, there hasn’t been a single day when I didn’t miss you. I was really worried. Without your family, and without me by your side, could you still pull yourself together? Could you still eat and sleep well?”
Jiang Qingyue’s voice choked. “But now, you’re pushing me away again and again. Xin Xin, you can’t do that.”
Her cheeks were wet, and Wen Wuxin didn’t know if they were her tears or Jiang Qingyue’s tears.
