Why Suffer for This Distress (GL) - Chapter 15

“Afterward, I went back to the room…” Su Xiyan’s words were evasive, her eyes wandering, not daring to look at He Jingmo. He Jingmo smiled very gently, cupped Su Xiyan’s cheeks with both hands, and patiently continued to ask, “And then?”

Su Xiyan was so anxious that faint beads of sweat appeared on her temples. She reckoned that if she told He Jingmo she had wanted to take advantage and release her lust, she would die a miserable death. Taking a deep breath, Su Xiyan looked into He Jingmo’s eyes and finally lied.

“Then you had a nightmare! You clung to me and wouldn’t let go, and kept trying to burrow into my arms! I couldn’t push you away no matter how hard I tried!”

“Impossible!” He Jingmo flatly denied it. How could she have done such an embarrassing thing?

“It’s true! I saw you were so sad and upset, and my sympathy overflowed, so I kindly let you lean on me and didn’t push you away.” He Jingmo’s flustered appearance gave Su Xiyan courage. She immediately shed her earlier bashfulness. Her voice got louder, her tone more forceful, and her eyes even curved into crescent shapes with her smile. He Jingmo finally stopped cupping Su Xiyan’s face. She let go, turned away awkwardly, frowned, and muttered, “Who would believe you? You’re full of nonsense.”

“How am I full of nonsense?” Su Xiyan was energized. She loved seeing He Jingmo so awkward and shy. He Jingmo felt her cheerful mood, turned her head, bit her lip, and gave her a reproachful look.

“I really didn’t lie.” Su Xiyan raised her hand to promise. She thought for a moment, and to assure He Jingmo she wasn’t lying, she reached out and pulled the unsuspecting He Jingmo into her arms, saying casually, “See, just like this, leaning in my arms. You were quite vulnerable.” After saying this, she started grinning foolishly, but the grin stopped abruptly when she saw the look in the arms of the person—a mix of shyness and teasing.

He Jingmo just looked at Su Xiyan, her eyes carrying a hint of shyness and playfulness. Her soft long hair draped over Su Xiyan’s shoulder, tickling her, making her involuntarily want to reach out. Su Xiyan looked at He Jingmo’s captivating gaze, and her face flushed again.

“Xiyan.” He Jingmo’s voice was soft with a hint of a spoiled tone. Su Xiyan’s body stiffened, not daring to make a sound. What was wrong with this woman lately? She was acting strange. Feeling her stiffness, He Jingmo smiled, wrapped her arms around Su Xiyan’s waist, and hugged her tightly. She tilted her head, pressed her ear against Su Xiyan’s chest, and quietly listened to her rapid heartbeats.

“I found—”

“Fo-Found what?” Su Xiyan didn’t dare to breathe heavily, her heart pounding violently. Could she still have been found out? No, she clearly didn’t kiss her. He Jingmo smiled lightly at her nervous expression, parted her ruby lips, and whispered, “I found that you’ve become cuter.”

!!!

“What the heck!” Su Xiyan felt played. She looked at the flower-like smiling woman in her arms with indignation, wishing she could choke her. He Jingmo was immensely amused, her shoulders shaking as she laughed in Su Xiyan’s arms. The loose pajamas moved with her actions, and the collar slightly revealed her snow-white br3asts. The visual stimulation of the fair and delicate skin almost made Su Xiyan pass out. Her face flushed red, and she abruptly pushed He Jingmo out of her arms.

“I haven’t eaten enough, I’m going to eat!”

Leaving this sentence behind, Su Xiyan fled in a panic. He Jingmo watched her retreating figure, smiling and shaking her head. Getting up, He Jingmo stretched, a playful smirk lingering on her lips as she buttoned up the top button of her pajamas.

Su Xiyan never expected that CEO Xiao was truly a woman of her word. She promised to take her to Beijing to eat, drink, play, and look at girls, and she would definitely keep her promise. Even if her wife was present, she would overcome all difficulties and bravely forge ahead without hesitation!

“Where are we going?”

Su Xiyan frowned, looking at the bright lights, music, and the increasing number of young men and women around them. Xiao Moyan was driving, humming a song, looking very happy.

“The nightclub, didn’t I tell you? I’m taking you to see some girls.”

“Huh?” Su Xiyan’s first reaction was to look at He Jingmo beside her. She tried hard to control her expression. He Jingmo looked at her with a half-smile, saying nothing. What else could she say? Su Xiyan’s grin was already reaching behind her ears, afraid people wouldn’t know how happy she was.

“What about Miss Xia…” Su Xiyan felt very uneasy, talking around the subject and not daring to show her inner excitement. Xiao Moyan smiled charmingly, “It’s fine, as long as I just look and don’t touch, she’ll turn a blind eye. My wife is very reasonable.”

“…” Su Xiyan remained silent. She realized that Xiao Moyan wasn’t the only extraordinary person; this Xia Lingying was also a formidable character. To be able to manage the philandering CEO Xiao so well by giving her this much freedom, how powerful must this woman’s tactics be?

Arriving at the nightclub, Xiao Moyan opened the door and led the two inside. The deafening music and the DJ’s shouting immediately made He Jingmo frown. Su Xiyan turned to look at her and reached out to hold her hand.

It seemed Xiao Moyan was very familiar with the manager. After a quick greeting, someone led the three inside. Under the glare of the lights and the impact of the blasting music, Su Xiyan quickly became excited. She didn’t care about anything else now and twisted her way into the dance floor with Xiao Moyan. How long had it been since she had relaxed for Angran? Now, she had a good opportunity to play under the guise of work. She was determined to enjoy herself, perfectly relieving her inner thirst and preventing her from constantly acting out inappropriately.

He Jingmo was naturally fond of quiet. She sat alone on the sofa, sipping a cocktail, watching Su Xiyan dance wildly to the music, her eyes dim, her heart sinking. Every smile on Su Xiyan’s face was so glaringly painful to her. He Jingmo gripped her glass more tightly.

“How is it! Not bad, right?”

Xiao Moyan shouted loudly in Su Xiyan’s ear. Su Xiyan swayed her body and laughed unrestrainedly, her long hair scattered on her shoulders, her hips twisting powerfully. She had an added wildness and charm compared to her usual self, clearly showing a dance background. Xiao Moyan sighed as she looked at Su Xiyan. She really had that mischievous look of herself when she was younger. This is going to cause a lot of worry. Thinking of this, Xiao Moyan looked at He Jingmo sitting in the corner. Seeing the lonely expression on her face, she felt a little bitter. Did Xia Xia look at her with the same feeling? It truly is difficult for those involved to see clearly. Only by seeing someone else sad can she think of her wife’s difficulties. Xiao Moyan shook her head, waved at Su Xiyan, and walked out of the crowd.

“Where are you going?” Su Xiyan’s forehead was drenched in sweat from dancing. Her voice was drowned out by the booming music. Looking at the various beauties around her, she was very excited. Indeed, she was just lonely. It wasn’t that she was interested in He Jingmo at all, causing her to worry unnecessarily for so long. Wait, where is Jingmo? Why isn’t she dancing? She’s the school’s champion in ballroom dancing! Su Xiyan pushed through the crowd, looking outward. Just as she was craning her neck to find someone, a hot, big-breasted blonde woman bumped her hand with her chest, twisted her slender waist, and looked at her with seductive eyes, dancing vigorously in front of Su Xiyan.

…

What the heck? Su Xiyan’s face darkened. She was dizzy from the huge, swaying chest in front of her. Is that a chest? That’s practically a sack!

“Why are you sitting alone?” Xiao Moyan sat down beside He Jingmo, holding a glass of iced water. Before coming, she had promised Xia Lingying not to drink alcohol. Although her wife wasn’t physically present, Xiao Moyan consciously refrained from drinking because she knew that her wife had the ability to know if she drank, even a single drop.

He Jingmo didn’t speak, quietly drinking her cocktail, her cheeks slightly flushed. Xiao Moyan looked at her and smiled, “If you have something on your mind, even water can make you drunk. People get drunk, not the wine itself.”

“It’s quite refined of CEO Xiao to recite poetry in a place like this.” He Jingmo retorted coldly. She hadn’t forgotten who brought Su Xiyan here. Xiao Moyan knew she was unhappy and was unconcerned, smiling and saying, “Whatever you like, you will want to possess. No matter how deep you hide it, you ultimately cannot deceive yourself.”

The double-entendre made He Jingmo slightly moved. She looked at Su Xiyan, who was having a great time twisting with the big-chested woman in the dance floor, swirled the wine glass in her hand, and sighed, “It just feels very tiring sometimes.”

“What, you admit it then?” Xiao Moyan looked at He Jingmo with a smile. He Jingmo met her eyes and said faintly, “CEO Xiao has already decided, do I still need to admit it?”

“Why involve me when you’re sulking?” Xiao Moyan laughed lightly, feeling the chill emanating from He Jingmo. He Jingmo didn’t speak or pay her any attention. Xiao Moyan looked at her profile, shook her head, and said no more. Young people, they have energy. Let them fret and worry as they please.

He Jingmo stopped paying attention to Xiao Moyan and kept her eyes fixed on Su Xiyan in the crowd. Su Xiyan was extremely frustrated on the dance floor. She was cornered by the big-breasted woman, who was relentlessly approaching her.

“Alone?” The woman’s breath carried a strong smell of alcohol. Su Xiyan frowned at the big-chested woman, her face filled with impatience. Jingmo is so much better. She always has a faint clean fragrance on her, no matter when or where.

“Want to spend the night together?” The big-chested woman made a tempting offer, shaking her chest more vigorously. Su Xiyan looked at her with a fake smile, “I’m not fortunate enough to enjoy that.” The big-chested woman was stunned for a moment. Seeing Su Xiyan’s contemptuous gaze at her chest, her expression changed. She snorted coldly and twisted away.

Taking a long breath, Su Xiyan finally squeezed out. She plopped down next to He Jingmo, proclaiming, “I’m exhausted.”

He Jingmo looked at her without speaking and did not wipe her sweat as usual. Meanwhile, Xiao Moyan was holding her glass on the side, watching the two with great interest, and almost ready to applaud, given He Jingmo’s unpleasant face. Aiya, the Ice Mountain is showing her power. This is going to be good.

“Why are you drinking so much?” Su Xiyan frowned, looking at the three empty glasses on the table, and questioned He Jingmo angrily. He Jingmo looked at her expressionlessly. Under Su Xiyan’s watchful eye, she tilted her head back and downed the drink in her glass.

“You love to dance that much?”

“What?” Su Xiyan didn’t immediately grasp He Jingmo’s sudden question. He Jingmo looked at her, smiled coldly, stood up, and under the gaze of those around her, He Jingmo raised her hand, took off the hairpin from her hair, and casually threw it on the floor. Her eyes, fixed on Su Xiyan, were incredibly seductive. She began to move her feet, stepping to the beat. Under Su Xiyan’s shocked gaze, He Jingmo extended her hand, grabbed Su Xiyan’s collar, and yanked her entire body up from the sofa.
