Chapter 148 - I Am Not Okay With It

Jiang Yingyue was studying psychology. She was skilled at seeing through people, and she could easily see that, even though currently, Yu Xiulan agreed on the surface for the sake of not going to jail, she wasn't going to keep this promise, and her smile just widened from this thought.

Did Yu Xiulan honestly think that she had what it took to seduce her, Jiang Yingyue's, man?

Han Qingshan was unaware of what Jiang Yingyue was thinking, he did not understand why she would show off her real identity to Yu Xiulan, and he was even less sure of why she would threaten her like this.

If he had been in control, he would already have called the police and sent her to prison. That way, she would no longer be able to cause problems. But looking at Jiang Yingyue, it seemed that she had something planned, and he was not willing to spoil her fun.

A doting expression was evident on his face, and while Jiang Yingyue did not notice it because her attention was on Yu Xiulan, Yu Xiulan noticed the loving gaze that Han Qingshan sent to Jiang Yingyue.

Her teeth were grinding so hard against each other that she thought they would shatter at any moment, but Jiang Yingyue just snickered. Yu Xiulan was an artist, but when she got upset, it was impossible for her to handle her emotions well.

Jiang Yingyue contemplated for a moment before she decided what to do next. She was not used to scheming against others, but she figured that dealing with Yu Xiulan could be seen as a trial run for her.

Also, Yu Xiulan was currently needed for Imperial World. Although the company had managed to snatch a lot of artists from other companies, the truth was that they had to prove their standing and they still had to keep Yu Xiulan. If she had a big scandal now, or if she left, then it would be terrible for the entire company.

These were the thoughts behind Jiang Yingyue's actions, and she quickly felt quite satisfied with it.

"Did you have something important to speak with Han Qingshan about?" Jiang Yingyue asked afterward, not masking her intention of driving the other woman away. And Yu Xiulan had no other option than to grit her teeth.

"Nothing!" she growled, her hatred so deeply rooted in her body that she was trembling.

"Well then." Jiang Yingyue stepped back and allowed for Yu Xiulan to pass her and leave the room. The wig was back on her head, and she looked like a demure lady once more.

As Yu Xiulan left the office, she slammed the door behind her and strode out of the Imperial World headquarters without even talking to her manager.

Her face was so dark and hostile that the manager dared not speak with her either, but the ones who had caused her mood to plummet like this were completely ignoring her now.

"Why'd you reveal yourself?" Han Qingshan asked, defeated, as he started to feel as if someone had scratched his heart.

"She insulted you," Jiang Yingyue said, her eyes downcast and her expression bashful.

"I can handle being insulted," he said, but he still felt warmth in his heart from hearing that she was willing to protect him.

"Even if you are fine with it, I am not," Jiang Yingyue said, her face serious. "You have already sacrificed so much for me; I do not want you to also be known as a promiscuous person just because you can't tell her who I am."

Han Qingshan could sense her helplessness, and he felt happiness bubble inside of him. To see her this protective of him and his reputation made him feel extremely excited.

He stood up and moved to Jiang Yingyue's side, where he dragged her into his embrace without saying a word.

Jiang Yingyue was taken by surprise, not at all expecting it, and when she realized what had happened, her lips had already been sealed by Han Qingshan, the words of questioning pressed back down her throat.

Jiang Yingyue felt an overwhelming assault of masculine pheromones. The scent of Han Qingshan was all over her, invading all her senses.

She quickly lost all sense of reasoning, her mind went blank, and her arms grabbed onto his clothes while her legs turned soft.

Han Qingshan took his arms and hooked them around her waist, holding her up as he deepened the kiss. His tongue was adeptly prying open her mouth and invading her sweet cavern, tasting her sweetness and dancing with her tongue.

He felt that he could not get enough. Every time he tasted her, he would want more; every time he touched her, he was struggling against himself and his willpower to hold back.

Like this, the two of them were pressed against one another. Their bodies were plastered together as their tongues entwined. Neither of them was willing to let go.

Han Qingshan could feel Jiang Yingyue's rapid heartbeat. He had his eyes open and looked at her red face. She was still so shy, even though they had kissed before.

She was an innocent young woman, and Han Qingshan wanted to protect her innocence, but he also wanted to eat her right up. He was struggling with his complicated emotions, and after considering what to do, he could only sigh and release her from his kiss.

Jiang Yingyue felt as if she was returning from cloud nine.. She leaned against Han Qingshan and felt his steady and reliable heartbeat, which slowly made her calm down.
