Why Suffer for This Distress (GL) - Chapter 13

CEO Xiao was not affected in the slightest by the discussion of the three people. She smiled and pulled her suitcase, walking at the very front. Ever since she saw Xia Lingying, she had become much more vibrant and full of youthful energy, like a small bird in spring that could take off with a gust of wind.

Su Xiyan looked at Xiao Moyan’s swaggering walk and then at the graceful and extraordinary Xia Lingying beside her, feeling a little rebellious. Why do all the good radishes get eaten by the pig? Why doesn’t she have such good luck?

“Miss Xia, that phone call the other day wasn’t from you?” Regardless of everything, Su Xiyan couldn’t suppress her curiosity. Although she knew Xiao Moyan was skilled at acting, her expression had been too convincing. The tension after snapping out of the revelry and her pale face looked genuinely frightened.

Xia Lingying smiled, looking at her, “It was me.”

“Ah—” Su Xiyan drew out the sound. Xia Lingying knew what she was thinking and added, “I only reminded her to rest early and not stay out too late. Her expression at the time was very bad, wasn’t it?”

“Mhm.” Su Xiyan felt a small pang of jealousy again. This Xia Lingying was not only mesmerizing in appearance but also had such a gentle and caring personality.

“She has a guilty conscience.” Xia Lingying looked at Xiao Moyan’s back and chuckled lightly, “It’s not hard for me to catch her.”

“Then what exactly did you say to her that scared her so much? She ran out holding her phone frantically.” Su Xiyan pressed. Xia Lingying smiled and replied, “I told her I was outside the door.”

“…”

For a while, no one spoke. Xiao Moyan over there was already humming a tune. He Jingmo, who had been silent all along, looked at Xia Lingying and asked, “How do you tolerate it?” Love is selfish. How could she tolerate the person she deeply loved getting drunk in bars at night? How could she fall in love with such a wild and unrestrained woman? Could she truly be at ease?

Xia Lingying’s gaze was still fixed on Xiao Moyan, soft and doting. Even her smile was so warm it could melt a person.

“We are not like other couples. We went through a lot, exhausting almost everything just to be together. How could she bear to let go? Besides, she doesn’t have the guts to leave me. I will be jealous, I will be sad, I won’t hide any of my emotions, and I will let her know everything. When she feels distressed, she naturally won’t mess around. Heh, maybe it’s a bit childish, but that’s exactly what she responds to.” Xia Lingying’s words were firm and calm, her eyes filled with deep, lingering affection. Su Xiyan, as if by a ghost’s hand, turned her head to sneak a glance at He Jingmo. Coincidentally, He Jingmo was also looking at her. Her face instantly flushed red. Su Xiyan snapped her head back, and He Jingmo also awkwardly turned her head away. Xia Lingying next to them looked at their subtle interaction and smiled softly.

The awkwardness of first love, the blissful ignorance—this period of ambiguity is indeed the most beautiful time of love. Let them make a fuss. Love only gets more flavorful the more it is tested.

After getting into the car, Su Xiyan wanted to stay in a hotel, but Xiao Moyan grandly waved her hand and told the driver to drive straight home.

“Why stay in a hotel? Stay with me at home. We can go check out Shenghuang tomorrow. If you like it, you can just stay.”

Rolling her eyes, Su Xiyan muttered to herself, I’m afraid of disturbing you two, the long-reunited couple!

Arriving at the Xiao family residence, Su Xiyan looked around. She couldn’t help but sigh at Xiao Moyan’s extravagance as she looked at the vine-covered, fortress-like villa. Xiao Moyan couldn’t be bothered with her and went straight to knock on the door.

Inside, a white-haired old lady opened the door. Seeing the four people, her face was full of wrinkles as she smiled, “Miss is back? Oh, and you brought two more beautiful girls.”

More… girls… Su Xiyan and He Jingmo looked at each other, speechless. This Xiao family was truly eccentric; even the housekeeper was so helpful.

“This is Nanny Xu. Nanny Xu, these two girls will be staying with us for a few days. Please arrange something for them.”

“Alright.” Nanny Xu replied and withdrew. Xia Lingying smiled at the two, “Come in.”

Once inside, as soon as she sat on the sofa, without even looking around, Su Xiyan felt sleepiness creeping up. She was still somewhat uncomfortable from the airsickness. She leaned her head back on the sofa, pretending to be dead, barely hearing what the others were saying. He Jingmo glanced at her, greeted Xiao and Xia, and directly led Su Xiyan to the guest room.

The guest room was spotlessly clean, and the snow-white large bed made one feel extremely sleepy. Su Xiyan practically rushed forward and threw herself onto it. Sinking into the soft bed, her consciousness became blurred. He Jingmo frowned, “Take off your shoes before sleeping.”

Ignoring everything He Jingmo said, Su Xiyan hugged the big bed and refused to get up. He Jingmo sighed, walked over, bent down, and took off Su Xiyan’s shoes.

“So sleepy.” Su Xiyan muttered a few times and fell asleep. He Jingmo ignored her, opened the suitcase, took out Su Xiyan’s pajamas, and despite her impatient expression, forced her to change into them. After changing her into pajamas, He Jingmo also felt a bit tired. She first went to the bathroom to shower, changed into her own pajamas, and then lay down beside Su Xiyan and fell asleep as well.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiyan was the first to wake up. She was awakened by thirst. Su Xiyan woke up groggily and looked at He Jingmo, who had somehow nestled into her arms. She smiled, got up, tucked the thin blanket around He Jingmo, slipped on her slippers, and carefully walked out.

Afraid of waking He Jingmo, Su Xiyan was very quiet all the way. There was no one in the living room. Su Xiyan walked straight to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of soda water. She had barely taken a few sips when she frowned.

What was that sound?

It was somewhat like a cat meowing, and also a bit like…

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Su Xiyan swallowed her saliva, tilting her head to listen. Her feet moved accordingly, and unknowingly, she reached the study door.

The door was slightly ajar. Su Xiyan hesitated, glanced inside, and her face immediately flushed crimson.

Inside the room, Xia Lingying was lying on a white rug. Her white dress was half-removed, dangling at her ankles. Her long legs struggled to close. Large areas of snow-white skin on her chest and neck were almost blindingly visible. Her black hair was damp with sweat, and her eyes were blurry and helpless. She tightly clutched the edge of the rug, trembling violently, suppressing uncontrollable moans.

And the person causing the mischief beneath her had a wicked grin, her hand movements continuous, and her mouth unforgiving.

“Still dare to say you didn’t miss me?”

“You—” Just as Xia Lingying tried to talk back, Xiao Moyan’s right hand suddenly moved forward. Xia Lingying cried out softly, unable to speak further.

The subsequent scene was adult-rated. Su Xiyan watched, her mouth dry, her heart pounding fiercely. It was only when Xiao Moyan began to remove the last barrier covering Xia Lingying’s chest that Su Xiyan abruptly turned around and almost ran back to the guest room, as if she were fleeing.

Gasping for breath, Su Xiyan felt her heart almost jumping out of her chest. Although she had watched adult movies before, the content in those films was merely a drizzle compared to the live version, and where would one find two actresses as beautiful as them? Su Xiyan tried to calm her breathing and heartbeat. In her mind, the constant replays were Xiao Moyan’s rhythmic, rising and falling shoulders and Xia Lingying’s restrained expression.

Slowly turning around, Su Xiyan licked her lips, placed the soda water on the table, and walked step by step toward the bed in her slippers.

On the bed, He Jingmo was sleeping soundly. Perhaps she was having a nightmare, her lips were slightly pursed, and her brows were tightly furrowed, looking very distressed.

That expression…

Su Xiyan felt her recently calmed heart start to pound wildly and uncontrollably again. He Jingmo’s distressed expression reminded her of Xia Lingying just moments ago. Strangely, Xia Lingying’s appearance had only made her nervous and excited. But now, seeing He Jingmo on the bed, Su Xiyan’s legs felt weak, and a warm current surged from her lower abdomen, spreading throughout her body.

“Jingmo…” Su Xiyan called He Jingmo’s name in a voice so husky she didn’t even notice it herself, and her eyes were already bloodshot and red.
