After We Broke Up, She Started Pursuing Me [Entertainment Industry] 79

Chapter 79 – Extra 5: Jiang Nan

“Lanlan, come home, okay?”

Today was the cast’s wrap party. Before it started, Ye Qingnan stepped outside the hotel and called Ye Lan.

Since that day, because she couldn’t face the two of them, Ye Lan had moved out of the house and into the company dormitory. She had been living there for half a month, only telling Ye Qingnan that she needed to calm down, and nothing more.

She heard Ye Lan sigh heavily on the other end of the phone. “Sister, you don’t have to ask anymore. I’m living very well here at the company. Don’t worry.”

“I know… I…” Ye Qingnan didn’t know how to express her feelings. She also didn’t understand why she and her closest sister had become like this.

“Jiang Nuo has already talked to me,” Ye Lan said faintly.

“What? When did she find you?”

Ye Lan said in a deep voice, “Sister, you also know what it feels like to like someone now. What if you put yourself in my shoes?”

“In this situation, can you accept it so quickly? I’m not a god. To be honest, I don’t know how to face it right now. So, just let me live on my own for a while, okay?”

“Oh… in a few days, my uncle and his family said they’re going abroad for a trip. I’m planning to go with them. I probably won’t be back for a while.”

“So, sister, don’t ask anymore.”

Hearing this, Ye Qingnan’s heart suddenly trembled. She murmured, “Lanlan…”

However, the only response she got was a busy tone.

Because he had to deal with some things, Lu Xing was a little late. The moment he got out of the car, he saw Ye Qingnan on the road, her face empty and dazed.

He walked over and asked with concern, “Qingnan, what’s wrong?”

Ye Qingnan came back to her senses, forced a smile at him, and shook her head. “It’s nothing…”

“Really? You don’t look well.”

“Really.”

Lu Xing smiled warmly. “That’s good. We still have the wrap party later. You have to be happy.”

Ye Qingnan smiled in thanks. She was in a bad mood and didn’t really want to chat, so she naturally missed the meaningful smile on Lu Xing’s face at this moment.

.

At the wrap party, as an important character, Ye Qingnan was toasted with a lot of wine. For some reason, everyone seemed to love to clink glasses with her today.

Due to the occasion, Ye Qingnan couldn’t refuse and could only drink as much as she could.

By the time she lasted until the end of the dinner, she was already drunk and slumped on the table.

Though not sober, Ye Qingnan still thought of calling Jiang Nuo to come and pick her up.

But before she could find her phone, her agent appeared beside her at some point, making a move to help her up.

“Qingnan, Qingnan?”

Ye Qingnan barely lifted her head, nodding at her without even opening her eyes.

She suddenly found that not only was she drunk, but a strange fire was also rising within her, making her unbearably hot.

The agent added, “Qingnan, if you’re not feeling well, how about I get you a room at the hotel? You can just sleep for a night.”

Seeing Ye Qingnan not replying, she continued to persuade, “How about it? It’s also very late now. I’ll handle it for you, and then take you to the room?”

At this moment, Ye Qingnan’s mind was a mess. She couldn’t quite hear what her agent was saying, only vaguely knowing that she was taking her to rest.

Ye Qingnan wished she could be in bed the next second.

She replied weakly and let her agent help her up.

By now, there were not many people left in the private room. The agent supported Ye Qingnan, and just as they were about to pass by Lu Xing, the two of them exchanged a look.

Lu Xing’s lips curved into a smile as he smiled at her.

Ye Qingnan was drowsy all the way. She didn’t know where she was, only that her body was getting hotter and hotter. By the time her agent brought her to a room, she finally couldn’t help but collapse onto the bed.

Hot.

So hot.

This was the only thought left in her mind.

Ye Qingnan subconsciously wanted to take off her clothes. It was autumn, and she was wearing a thin jacket. Just as she had taken it halfway off, she heard the sound of the door opening.

Who is it?

Ye Qingnan’s movements stopped. A bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

She heard the door close, followed by footsteps. The person was approaching her.

Ye Qingnan opened her heavy eyelids and vaguely saw the figure of a man. As he got closer, the alarm bells in her heart finally rang wildly.

“Qingnan,” Lu Xing called her softly. His tone was incredibly gentle, but to Ye Qingnan, it only sounded disgusting.

She tried to prop up her weak body, wrapped herself in the quilt, and glared at the person before her. “Director Lu… what are you doing here?”

But Lu Xing raised an eyebrow, looking very confused.

He smiled. “What are you talking about? This is the room I booked.”

“You’re the one who ran over here.”

Hearing this, though her body was still burning, Ye Qingnan’s heart was completely cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, a bottomless abyss of eternal damnation.

Ye Qingnan had never felt so desperate before.

This was a trap. They had set it all up, waiting for her to jump in.

Lu Xing looked at the woman on the bed, her long hair messy, her cheeks flushed, her eyes hazy with anger. Even so, she had an indescribable beauty and charm.

He squinted, let out a deep breath, and knelt on the bed with one knee, inching closer to the woman.

“Don’t come over!!” Ye Qingnan’s face was full of terror.

“If you come any closer, I’ll call the police. Lu Xing, calm down, okay? Calm down, don’t be like this…”

Ye Qingnan clutched the quilt tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably. She stared at the man before her.

Even half-kneeling, the man still seemed tall and large. In front of him, Ye Qingnan was like a helpless prey with nowhere to run.

Lu Xing laughed, laughed at her for even trying to persuade him.

How could a duck that has already been caught fly away?

The moment Ye Qingnan was about to take out her phone, Lu Xing fiercely pounced on her, pressing her down, ignoring her cries no matter how she screamed.

Ye Qingnan screamed like she was crazy. She felt the man’s wet tongue on her face, her neck, her arms…

All of this! It made her feel disgusted! Terrified! Utterly desperate.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Ye Qingnan’s hands were held down tightly by Lu Xing. She was powerless to struggle. Unconsciously, she cried out Jiang Nuo’s name, hoping that heaven would favor her, that a miracle would appear.

However, heaven did not favor her, and a miracle did not appear.

Afterward, Lu Xing lay back on the bed, drenched in sweat, a strange smile on his face.

He looked at Ye Qingnan’s already numb expression, then pinched her chin in dissatisfaction, forcing her to look at him.

“Don’t be like this. Just think of it as a transaction. I’ll give you more resources in the future, isn’t that good?”

Ye Qingnan looked at him coldly, as if she were looking at him, but her eyes had no focus. Gradually, those eyes turned red, and Ye Qingnan’s breathing trembled. She glared at the man before her, her hatred like a monstrous wave.

She wished she could tear him to pieces right now.

But she was powerless.

This was the first time Ye Qingnan had felt that her strength was so weak. In the face of capital, in the face of power, she was just a doll to be played with.

She didn’t even have the ability to resist.

“That woman, is her name Jiang Nuo?”

Lu Xing’s words instantly pulled Ye Qingnan back to her senses. She glared at him. “What are you trying to do?”

“You care about her a lot, huh?” Lu Xing smiled, took a box of cigarettes from the head of the bed, and lit one.

He took a drag, exhaled the smoke, and said nonchalantly, “Don’t worry. I’m not doing anything.”

He glanced at the woman on the bed again. “Don’t look at me like that. I said, after today, the benefits I can give you won’t be any less.”

“I don’t need them,” Ye Qingnan said, word by word.

“You don’t need them?” Lu Xing sneered. “You’re too naive. Once you get deeper into this industry, you’ll know that many things are far more chaotic than you think.”

“Following me, isn’t that better than following a woman?”

Ye Qingnan looked at him with disgust. “Don’t you find yourself disgusting?”

Lu Xing ignored her and instead showed her the photos and videos he had taken on his phone.

In them, Ye Qingnan was being held by the hair, played with by him, screaming desperately, but no one responded.

Ye Qingnan watched quietly, a tear of humiliation sliding from the corner of her eye, her heart feeling as if it were about to stop.

He said, “Yes, you can say whatever you want. But I’m sorry, you’ll probably have to keep in touch with someone like me.”

“You don’t want this matter to be known, right?”

.

Recently, Jiang Nuo found that Ye Qingnan seemed to be getting more and more silent and irritable. A small matter would easily cause the two of them to argue, but afterward, she would always end up in tears.

Jiang Nuo sensitively noticed that something was wrong, but when she asked her, Ye Qingnan would just say it was nothing. After many fruitless inquiries, Jiang Nuo could only assume that she was having trouble with her career and was temporarily moody.

But besides that, Jiang Nuo also found that Ye Qingnan was becoming more and more resistant to their intimate contact. Every time they reached the final step, Ye Qingnan would suddenly call a halt, which made Jiang Nuo completely baffled.

At night, the two of them had just finished washing up and were lying in bed, holding each other.

After Ye Lan had gone abroad with her uncle’s family, there had been no news. Ye Qingnan didn’t want to ask anymore.

For a moment, she even felt as if she had committed some great wrong in her past life. Otherwise, why would heaven punish her like this?

Seeing Ye Qingnan in her arms, her expression faint, and knowing that she had been troubled by Ye Lan’s matter recently, Jiang Nuo patted her back, silently comforting her.

“Jiang Nuo… I’m so tired…”

“Be good. Don’t worry too much. Everything will be alright,” Jiang Nuo whispered gently.

Alright? Will it? Heh.

Ye Qingnan no longer believed it.

Jiang Nuo kissed her hair, breathing in its fragrance, and couldn’t help but want to get closer, lowering her head to ask for a kiss.

But Ye Qingnan slowly turned her face, dodging her intimacy.

Jiang Nuo opened her eyes and looked at her, murmuring with some grievance, “Nannan… what’s wrong?”

Ye Qingnan didn’t dare to look at her, afraid that she would lose control for a moment and tell her everything.

“It’s nothing. I’m just really tired. Let’s go to sleep early.”

“…Okay,” Jiang Nuo sighed softly.

She turned over and turned off the light, then said softly, “Sleep.”

The room was pitch black. After a long moment, Ye Qingnan slowly turned toward Jiang Nuo’s side. She had her back to her.

Ye Qingnan wanted to embrace her from behind, but just as she reached out, she pulled her hand back.

She had thought Lu Xing was disgusting before. Now, she felt she was even more disgusting.

Ye Qingnan’s lips curved into a self-deprecating smile. She closed her eyes, and tears instantly fell.

I’m sorry, Jiang Nuo.

I’m so dirty… you shouldn’t touch someone so dirty…

But I love you, so, so much. I can’t bear to… can’t bear to leave you…
