Chapter 51

Shen Qiaoyu received these messages and couldn’t help but ask Qingning, [What do you think?]

Qingning seemed to be typing for a long time before finally replying, [What I think is not important. The important thing is that you have nothing to do with this matter, and there’s no need for you to help Yan Shiqing. Aren’t you on bad terms with her?]

[I will handle the matters between her and me on my own, and I will repay the favor I owe her. You just need to do your best to participate in the variety show, act well in your roles, and just be yourself.]

[Being able to see you every day on the variety show is the happiest thing for me.]

[And now, I’m hesitating whether or not to agree. What do you think?]

Shen Qiaoyu was shocked: “!!!”

Crazy, truly crazy, this woman always resorts to fake marriages when there’s a problem, doesn’t she?!

She quickly replied to Qingning, [Don’t agree to her!!!]

[I will think of a way. I will figure out how to help her solve the problem of the arranged marriage.]

After typing, she turned around in frustration and poked Yan Shiqing’s back.

Feeling her touch, Yan Shiqing’s whole body stiffened, taking several seconds to slowly turn around and face her, their breaths seemingly tangling faintly together.

Shen Qiaoyu, overcome with emotion, blurted out to her, “I agree with the fake marriage with you.”

After hearing these words, Yan Shiqing tilted her head, her eyes wide open, seemingly unable to believe her ears.

“Shen Qiaoyu, you actually agreed?” she asked, curving her lips in disbelief.

“Really,” Shen Qiaoyu gritted her teeth, wishing she could crack open this woman’s head to see just what was packed inside it to come up with such an idea!

“But only if I can convince my family to call off the arranged marriage. Once it’s called off, you won’t need to go around looking for someone to have a fake marriage with, right?!” she added, annoyed.

“And another thing, don’t even think about targeting Qingning, nor look for her to enter into a fake marriage. If you’re looking for someone to fake a marriage with you, look for me. If I catch you discussing such things with her again, or harboring any improper thoughts towards her, beware, I’ll give you a good thrashing!” she warned.

After listening to her, Yan Shiqing couldn’t help but be amused. She burst into quiet laughter, bowed her head, and chuckled softly, sighing, “Qiao Qiao, how can you be so adorable~”

“What’s there to laugh about?” Shen Qiaoyu furrowed her brows and added, “You’re just a little liar, always spouting nonsense. I can never tell if what you say is true or not.”

“What boyfriend doesn’t allow a fake marriage with a guy, but only with a girl? Such talk is obviously made up. Only fools like Qingning would believe it.”

As she thought more about it, she became angrier and said, “If I catch you lying, I’ll definitely fight you and teach you a lesson!”

“To even think of deceiving Qingning into a fake marriage, let me tell you, no way!”

Yan Shiqing couldn’t help it anymore. She suddenly buried her face in the pillow, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably as she laughed.

She was trying hard to suppress it, and although it sounded like sobbing, her body trembled slightly.

Shen Qiaoyu was stunned, thinking surely this woman hadn’t been driven to tears by the scolding, had she?

She began to reflect on herself, wondering if she had been too harsh in her words.

She hoped this woman wouldn’t go to Qingning and complain.

As she thought about it, she furrowed her brow and handed over a few tissues to the other person, saying helplessly, “Stop crying. I only said a few words to you.”

“Was I wrong?” she couldn’t help but continue. “Don’t take marriage so lightly, always talking about fake marriages. Wouldn’t it resolve everything if I just helped you convince my parents to call off the arranged marriage? If that doesn’t work, then…”

“If it’s not possible, then you’ll have to marry me! You just promised me!” Yan Shiqing suddenly lifted her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and the corners of her eyes reddened. She appeared especially pitiable under the moonlight shining through the window.

“Uh-huh,” Shen Qiaoyu nodded, but then unconsciously continued, “It won’t come to that. Our families will definitely be able to annul the engagement.”

“Then let’s pinky swear~” At this moment, Yan Shiqing’s lips curled into a smile, her eyes tearful as she gazed deeply at her.

She thought, whether it was a fake marriage or a real one, as long as she could be with Qiao Qiao, she would have no regrets, even if the lie was eventually exposed.

Shen Qiaoyu also looked at her, their gazes intertwining, and couldn’t help saying, “Childish.”

But even as she said that seeing the other party extending her pinky finger, she still reached out and hooked her own pinky finger around it.

The two pinky fingers gently hooked together and swayed. She said, “You’re not allowed to discuss this matter with Qingning anymore, got it?”

“Mm, got it~” Yan Shiqing’s eyes were full of smiles. Then she suddenly stood up and said to her, “You go to sleep~ I’m going to edit the audio and send it to your agent.”

Oh right, she almost forgot about that.

With the evidence in hand, Xu Bing can no longer escape, and Hongsen Entertainment also face a headache.

She instantly felt better as she chatted with Qingning.

[I have already discussed the marriage alliance with Yan Shiqing. Don’t worry, I will handle it properly. Don’t say it has nothing to do with me anymore. From now on, your affairs are mine too. We will work together for our future, and I will repay Yan Shiqing’s kindness.]

[Even if it’s a fake marriage, it would still be between me and her. Once this is over, I will take you to meet my parents, and we can be together openly and honorably!]

[And soon, I’ll be able to turn the tables on Xu Bing. My public image will get better, and in the future, I will focus on learning to act, earn money, and buy a home that belongs to us…]

Shen Qiaoyu was filled with sweetness, typing endlessly, when Yan Shiqing’s phone suddenly lit up under the pillow beside her. She glanced at it, thinking it was a coincidence, and continued typing.

But Qingning didn’t reply for a long time, and she thought she might have fallen asleep, so she reluctantly sent a message.

[Good night.]

At that moment, Yan Shiqing climbed into the bed with her laptop and played a recording for her to listen to.

The sounds recorded in the voice recorder were crystal clear, which lit up Shen Qiaoyu’s eyes. She nodded quickly, and Yan Shiqing promptly sent the recording to their agent, suggesting that a positive outcome was likely.

After shutting down the computer, Yan Shiqing and Shen Qiaoyu lay down again, this time to truly fall asleep.

Shen Qiaoyu fell asleep almost instantly, unknowingly shifting to lie on her side facing Yan Shiqing.

However, no matter how long she waited, Yan Shiqing couldn’t fall asleep.

Unable to resist, once she was certain that Shen Qiaoyu was sound asleep, she carefully moved closer, gradually inching toward her lips. Their breaths mingled, making her so nervous that it was almost suffocating. Then, summoning her courage, she delicately pressed her lips against the other’s.

Their soft lips pressed firmly together. Yan Shiqing’s heart beat so loudly that she was afraid of waking her companion. Satisfied, she curved her lips into a smile, pulled up the blanket, and drifted off into dreamland.

Shen Qiaoyu’s sleeping posture wasn’t great, probably because she had a girlfriend now and was filled with daydreams and nocturnal fantasies…

In the depths of the night, she found herself unconsciously holding the woman in front of her tightly, like a child would hug a doll. She held on tighter and tighter, unknowingly nuzzling into the softest spot and inhaling the deep scent.

It felt as though she were dreaming, murmuring in her sleep, “Qingning…”

She nibbled on the ripe, red cherry and once again sank into a deep slumber.

…

Ah!

Yan Shiqing was startled awake by the sudden movement, her cheeks still flushed with warmth from sleep, her lips involuntarily parting, her eyes dazed.

Shen Qiaoyu’s cheek was buried in Yan Shiqing’s embrace, her hands firmly wrapped around her waist, clinging to her like an infant refusing to let go of a bottle. This left Yan Shiqing utterly bewildered, her cheeks turning red, and her legs unconsciously pressing together.

Shen Qiaoyu’s hot breath kept brushing against her chest. Before going to sleep, she had stripped down to just a thin shirt, without wearing anything underneath. Now, that area felt as if it was scorched by fire, tingling and numb.

Gradually, the small piece of cloth in Shen Qiaoyu’s mouth became moist with her saliva.

Yan Shiqing was terrified that Shen Qiaoyu might suddenly wake up. Yet, she couldn’t help but place her hand on Shen Qiaoyu’s waist, embracing her. Her other hand involuntarily began to wander downward.

It seemed that she wouldn’t be able to sleep well tonight…

She thought to herself how bad Shen Qiaoyu’s habits were, she couldn’t help but feel infuriated if it were anyone else in her position right now.

However, she found herself caught up in these secretive touches, unable to free herself from the sensation.

…

The moonlight streamed through the window, casting a silvery glow over the two women inside the house.

The woman who was sleeping was nestled in the embrace of the other woman. Her long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, indicating a deep sleep without any reaction.

However, the woman being embraced lightly pressed the other woman’s head with her hand. Her own head tilted back slightly, revealing a stunningly beautiful face flushed with the rosy hue of the moonlight. Her eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes wet with tears, trembling like butterfly wings.

Her lips were parted as if she was making sounds, but upon closer listening, there was nothing, like a silent film playing out.

No one knew that beneath the blankets, her body was trembling ever so slightly.

She was so moved that a silvery strand fell from the corner of her mouth. Her pink tongue lay amidst her lips, gently quivering, as if mimicking the entwined kiss with the other woman.

In the silent night, it was simply a solitary celebration for her alone.

After a long while, Shen Qiaoyu seemed to be stifled and unwittingly loosened her grip, frightening her so much that she trembled all over. She relaxed the tight tension throughout her body and completely softened into the bed.

Observing the sleeping face of the woman beside her, Yan Shiqing was filled with lazy satisfaction. She gently stuck out her tongue, licking her lips, and decided to get out of bed to tidy himself up after a good rest.

She thought to herself that she must not let Shen Qiaoyu find out this bad habit of hers, otherwise, next time, she would not be willing to share a bed with her.

After cleaning the moisture from her fingertips, Yan Shiqing exited the bathroom to find a pair of black lace shorts hung upon the rack — and her sanitary pad simply couldn’t withstand it…

Fortunately, the weather was quite nice, and the laundry that was set to dry during the day dried by day’s end.

Yan Shiqing returned to bed and fell asleep from exhaustion.

……

Neither of them knew that their agent worked overtime into the night and ended up breaking the news.

As a result, many night owls celebrated all night long, reveling in the gossip with great enjoyment.
