I’m the Moonlight White That the Former Movie Queen Secretly Loved 55

Chapter 55:

Her back was against the sofa’s backrest. With a bump, Meng Jiang leaned forward slightly.

As Qi Sijia’s shadow fell over her, Meng Jiang stretched out her arms. Without a moment’s hesitation, she wrapped them around Qi Sijia’s neck and brought her lips up.

A dazed smile hung on her lips as she asked, “Are you going to kiss me?”

Words were irrelevant. When the passion reached that point, all answers seemed superfluous.

Qi Sijia lowered her head. When she kissed Meng Jiang’s lips, her supposedly cold skin was scalded, and its temperature rose.

Even her frosty, snow-like eyes were stained with this scorching heat.

Her fingers hooked onto the lace of Meng Jiang’s dress’s waist tie, easily pulling it open. Unlike any other kiss before, Qi Sijia’s eyelashes were lowered, and her cold, clear eyes clearly reflected Meng Jiang’s charming face.

Her kiss was not lingering. The moment they touched, it was filled with another side of Qi Sijia that she had never shown in public.

After growing up, whether it was social anxiety or cold asceticism, it seemed to be just a facade. Just as Mike had said, Qi Sijia had never allowed anyone to see her other side—a desire for control, not only over herself, but now also over Meng Jiang.

In the dead of night, Meng Jiang’s eyes were dazed. In such a full and unrestrained, unreservedly passionate kiss, all her reason was almost lost in a frenzy.

Two adult women in love, both tacitly managed their hard-won love period slowly, steadily, and richly. Everyone said they could take it slow, but when their emotions were pushed to this point, they both lost control.

Meng Jiang was drowned in it.

With the intimate previous relationship from her teenage years as a foundation, Meng Jiang had thought that Qi Sijia’s lowered shoulders and the fullness of her senses were the lingering feelings of the past.

But when she was really controlled by Qi Sijia, Meng Jiang’s mind went blank. Those rich experiences and ease were dominated and climbed to the clouds. In the end, there were only some defeats, intermittent and lost pants.

This kiss was too stimulating, so stimulating that all the roundabout ways and worries were shattered.

Meng Jiang held Qi Sijia’s hand in a daze.

…

Qi Sijia woke up at home. When she opened her eyes, it was quiet all around. The guest room bed was cold. Meng Jiang had already left.

She put on her slippers and walked from the master bedroom to the guest room, and then to the bathroom. After a round, she confirmed that there was no one else. Qi Sijia took out her phone and sent a text message to Meng Jiang.

As expected, there was no reply.

It was a morning like any other. She got up, washed her face, and brushed her teeth. The cold and bland expression in the mirror was no different from usual. The only difference was that when she spat out the toothpaste, she had brushed for too long, with too much force, and her gums were inflamed, and there was blood.

Qi Sijia glanced at it coldly, turned on the faucet, and washed away the blood-stained foam.

She threw the toothbrush into the cup. The brush head was crooked and touched the same scallion-green brush head next to it. Unlike Qi Sijia’s casually placed toothbrush, this other one was placed very meticulously, as if it were standing at attention, its direction aligned with the center of the cup, meticulous and beautiful.

Qi Sijia walked to the door, her footsteps suddenly pausing. She turned back, took out the misplaced toothbrush, and placed it at a parallel angle with the neat toothbrush from just now.

After doing this, the doorbell rang.

The speed at which she went to open the door today was at least a minute faster than before. The black assistant was a little surprised. He put away his phone and said with a smile, “Good morning, Teacher Qi.”

As he finished, his gaze went to Qi Sijia’s neck several times.

Qi Sijia’s daily attire was more or less a fixed style, a round-necked gray-green base with a warm cotton coat over it. Occasionally, she would wear a scarf to block the wind, but not today.

Her neck was exposed to the air, from her collar to an inch below her collarbone, forming a curve with her straight collarbone. Her neck was even more beautiful than the swan necks that many celebrities had trained in deportment classes.

But this was not the black assistant’s focus. At this moment, there were shockingly visible love bites on it.

Qi Sijia acted as if nothing had happened, not covering it up at all. There was no expression on her face as she said calmly, “Morning.”

…

When she left Qi Sijia’s house, it was only five o’clock. The biting cold wind blew on her face from outside. Meng Jiang felt a bit of frustration towards the sleeping Qi Sijia on the other side of the door.

The driver came to pick her up. At that time, she hadn’t even washed her face, and her hair was loose, which scared the driver.

At that time, there was only one thought: Let’s not see each other for now. It’s embarrassing.

But at seven in the morning, Qi Sijia sent a text message.

It said, [Good morning.]

Meng Jiang stared at Qi Sijia’s usual morning and evening greetings for a full half hour before clicking delete.

Afterwards, she told the driver to stop the car. She stood outside the car, held a cigarette, and lit it. When she was frustrated, she just wanted to smoke one, but she couldn’t light it for a long time.

Meng Jiang was not a smoker. She was very strict with her figure, and her lifestyle was not one of dissolute excess.

A hangover like last night’s happened at most once a year.

Cigarettes were not a regular item for her either. Only when she was extremely annoyed would she hold one.

In the past so many years, there were not many things that could annoy Meng Jiang. When she was trying to quit Qi Sijia, smoking was a way to relieve her sorrow.

The cigarette was in her mouth, but she was still annoyed.

Annoyed that she couldn’t smoke this cigarette anymore.

She would worry about the smell of smoke in her mouth, and whether Qi Sijia would indirectly swallow secondhand smoke when they kissed.

That deep kiss last night, did she rinse her mouth? She probably did after vomiting.

Such a stimulating kiss, how could she kiss without rinsing her mouth? It was too much.

With this thought, Meng Jiang frowned, reined in the dirty emotions in her heart, and laughed at herself for being like a little girl when nothing had even happened.

She raised her arm and threw the whole pack of cigarettes into the trash can.

“You came out of someone else’s house so early in the morning, and you’re so annoyed. What’s going on? Or did you guys do it? It cooled down so fast?” Chen Cheng came out with a tablet. Seeing that Meng Jiang was not in a good mood and hadn’t said a word to them all morning, Chen Cheng asked with concern.

Although her tone was a little sassy.

Meng Jiang’s mood was not high. She narrowed her eyes, too lazy to bother with her, and glanced at Chen Cheng, who was standing by the side and saying she was cold.

“Why are you still here?”

After Wasteland wrapped up, Meng Jiang’s work in M country was completely over. In addition, it was the New Year in a few days. Chen Cheng had just booked a flight to go back. Of course, Meng Jiang would also go back in a few days.

Chen Cheng held the tablet in her hand, gestured for Meng Jiang to take a look, and said in a casual tone, “I’m afraid you’ll be troubled by love, so I specially came to enlighten you.”

Meng Jiang took the tablet and looked at the contract inside.

This email was sent by Jiang Ru in a hurry. The reason was that at the beginning of last year, ISE had signed a gambling agreement with Chen Ting. But at that time, the agreement was under the name of Meng Luo.

This gambling agreement was the last gift of a clean break that Meng Jiang had given to Chen Ting.

She didn’t expect that after all this time, after ISE had lost a lot of money, they would have no other choice but to take out this gambling agreement and hype up the fact that Meng Luo had gone through an irregular process in this contract.

Meng Jiang’s faint smile did not reach her eyes. “No wonder they went bankrupt. Shouldn’t they look for Chen Ting for this kind of thing?”

“It’s just that it’s disgusting,” Chen Cheng felt that if Meng Jiang were called back at this time, ISE would probably not just be losing the lady and the army.

This matter was simple. As long as they found the seal that was used to sign the agreement back then and compared it with a judicial comparison, it would be fine.

But the contract was signed by Chen Ting, and only Meng Jiang could get her seal.

But Meng Jiang was in a bad mood and had hit a sore spot. It was hard to say what would happen to ISE in the future.

“Alright, you can book the next flight for me.”

Chen Cheng did not hesitate at all and took out her phone to check the schedule.

“There’s a flight at 9:30. We should be able to make it if we rush to the airport now.”

She looked at her with a questioning look, but Meng Jiang did not say anything.

Chen Cheng understood and clicked her tongue. “If you want to go and say goodbye in person, then just go. What are you hesitating for?”

Meng Jiang’s mood was not high. “I don’t have the face.”

Although she said that, her eyes swept over the two flights to China, and she fell silent again.

Chen Cheng laughed. “Forget it. I’ll book the twelve o’clock flight for you today. Whether you want to go and see your Teacher Qi later is up to you.”

…

On Monday, at the routine work meeting, Qi Sijia was holding a laser pointer and standing at the front of the long conference table. The episode storyline of Dark Tide had been sorted out before, but the remaining one-third of the plot needed to be shown to everyone in more detail.

She usually didn’t bring her phone to meetings and would take the initiative to give it to the black assistant to handle. But today, during this long episode script setting meeting, her phone had been on the table all along.

When the black assistant brought over the documents and was about to leave, he was about to take the phone away, but he was pushed back by a look from Qi Sijia.

For a whole morning, the phone sat quietly on the table, not making a sound.

After the meeting, Qi Sijia took her computer and left directly.

This week, Right was flying to Paris to attend a creator’s summit, and all the signing matters were sent to Qi Sijia’s office.

Almost every senior executive who walked into the office would glance at Qi Sijia’s neck, and then look away with a teasing look.

Once, twice…

Foreigners’ desire for gossip was no less than Chinese people’s. Qi Sijia ignored it and finished her work, then went to the sink to wash her hands.

In the full-length mirror, the dense love bites on her neck were clearly reflected.

Qi Sijia stared at them for a long time and laughed at herself. Leaving aside Meng Jiang’s passion when she was being alluring, how could she have forgotten that in her memory, Meng Jiang was such a decisive and ruthless woman.

In that situation last night, Meng Jiang had held Qi Sijia’s hand and led her down the path. What Qi Sijia was thinking at that time was not too important, but at least she could feel that she was out of control. The derailed emotions that were beyond her control were occupying her brain, and her actions were stagnant, forced to stop there.

Mike had said that she was a person with a strong desire for control. It seemed to be true. She controlled herself, and she also controlled Meng Jiang. So that night, the act of accelerating to the point of being unable to control her emotions was suspended in the middle.

Qi Sijia could see the daze and confusion intertwined in Meng Jiang’s amber eyes.

She was such an enlightened and well-rounded person. She knew what to do to make this out-of-control awkwardness have a harmonious ending for both of them. After a glance, Meng Jiang hugged Qi Sijia’s neck and bit down hard.

Qi Sijia didn’t even cry out in pain and let her vent her emotions.

From beginning to end, Meng Jiang held her head high. After she finished biting, she stopped. She pretended to be drunk and that nothing had happened. It seemed that after a night’s sleep, no one would be embarrassed.

She naturally leaned against Qi Sijia’s shoulder and then feigned sleep for a whole long night.

Qi Sijia carried Meng Jiang out of the RV. Meng Jiang was really asleep. The clamor of the whole night made her look very tired.

After settling Meng Jiang in the guest room, Qi Sijia stood by the bed and looked at her for a long time before she turned and left, determined to talk to Meng Jiang when she woke up.

She had written so many scripts, each with its own ups and downs, and tragic love stories. When it came to Meng Jiang, she couldn’t bear to impose any of the compromising, unfulfilling, and not-so-bright concealments in the plot on Meng Jiang.

So she controlled herself, but last night’s control was not successful. Even if it was an abrupt end, it was a complete failure. She had shed her lifelong indifference and had taken a risk to accelerate her confession with Meng Jiang.

But she didn’t expect that when she woke up, Meng Jiang would still be angry.

After experiencing such an abrupt end under the green jade, Meng Jiang was still able to use her own way to bring the awkward emotions back on track, so that they could continue to develop harmoniously after they woke up.

But this morning, Meng Jiang still chose to leave. She must have been hurt.

Qi Sijia splashed some cold water on her face. Coincidentally, the marketing director came into the bathroom to touch up her makeup.

She walked to the mirror, looked in the mirror, and drew her eyebrows. Seeing Qi Sijia, who was about to leave, she smiled and greeted her, asking, “Did Teacher Qi pull an all-nighter last night?”

Qi Sijia’s mood was not high. “No.”

Only a ghost would believe this. Anna’s gaze landed on the fierce love bites on Qi Sijia’s neck. She was not at all intimidated by her cold and bland aura. After all, the entire studio was talking about who had made Teacher Qi descend to the mortal world, and the battle was so tragic.

As a mortal herself, Anna understood. She curled her lips and asked, “How was it? Was the other person fierce?”

Qi Sijia had originally not wanted to answer, but thinking of Meng Jiang’s teeth sinking into her skin last night with a merciless ferocity, she laughed. “It was okay. A little fierce.”

Anna had clearly mistaken her for a man. She smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into a thin line and took out the concealer from her handbag. “Want to cover it up?”

Qi Sijia drained her hands and politely declined. “Leave it.”

“You’re laughing. You’re leaving it to announce to the world?”

Hearing this, Qi Sijia turned back. Meng Jiang was leaning against the gilded brick wall. I don’t know how much she had heard. Her gaze was on Qi Sijia’s neck as she asked teasingly, “Isn’t Teacher Qi embarrassed at all?”

Qi Sijia was briefly stunned. Her gaze landed on the person who had come. After looking at her for a long while, after the surprise, she actually smiled.

She quickened her pace, walked to Meng Jiang’s side, held her hand, and with a raised end of her voice, she whispered in her ear, “The person who bit me isn’t embarrassed. Why should I be embarrassed?”

Sensing that Meng Jiang was symbolically struggling with her hand, Qi Sijia held it even tighter.

Without waiting for Meng Jiang to answer, she leaned over slightly, her eyes looking straight into Meng Jiang’s.

Qi Sijia was not wearing glasses. Her eyebrows and eyes had just been washed, and her eyelashes were stained with water droplets. Her willow-leaf eyebrows reflected the clear light above her head, carrying a wisp of pure and honest sincerity. She said, “Sister is angry with me, and I don’t know how to coax her. It’s not right to wipe away the evidence of her anger, is it?”

Her tone was low and cold, but the wind blowing on her cheek was hot, carrying Qi Sijia’s unique faint fragrance.

Meng Jiang stared at her without blinking. She considered herself a well-rounded and worldly person, not to mention soft-hearted, and certainly not broad-minded.

In the past, her well-roundedness was just a manageable facade. She was actually a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. But she was bewitched by Qi Sijia’s soft and pleading tone.

She held Qi Sijia’s fingers back, her palm pressed against her palm, and walked out of the bathroom.

Without paying any attention to the shocked look of the marketing director behind her, she muttered, “Fierce… uh… a woman? Oh my god.”

After entering Qi Sijia’s office, Meng Jiang gestured for Qi Sijia to let go of her hand. She took out a powder compact from her bag and patted the seat next to her on the sofa.

“You should still cover it up. It’s quite embarrassing.”

A very faint smile hung on Qi Sijia’s lips. She said in a joking tone, “Then you’re not angry with me anymore?”

“I’m not angry,” Meng Jiang said honestly. “Otherwise, what would I be doing here? I pushed back my morning flight and still had to come over and tell you in person that I’m going back to the country soon.”

“Going back to the country?” Qi Sijia asked.

“Mmm.”

The two of them, one standing and one sitting. Meng Jiang lowered her waist, and with her other hand, she meticulously patted the powder on Qi Sijia’s neck. Seeing that it couldn’t be covered at all, she simply took off her own scarf and wrapped it around her, imitating Qi Sijia’s action from last time.

Her movements were clumsy, and she was close. Qi Sijia narrowed her eyes and took the scarf. “I’ll wear it myself.”

Meng Jiang met her gaze. If her lips were to get any closer, they would have kissed. Their breaths were intertwined, and she couldn’t help but think of the out-of-control scene from last night.

She coughed lightly and took the initiative to straighten her upper body.

She was a little further away from Qi Sijia. “The flight is at twelve noon.”

Taking in this subtle distance, Qi Sijia’s fingers paused. She lowered her eyes and asked, “Because of me?”

“Do you think that’s why I’m here?” Meng Jiang stared at her and asked.

The two of them looked at each other. Qi Sijia smiled, stood up, and hugged Meng Jiang. “Have a safe trip.”

Meng Jiang put her hand on Qi Sijia’s back. She had just come in from outside, and her fingers were cold. Qi Sijia’s cotton coat was warm, separated by a layer of body temperature.

Her fingertips couldn’t help but tighten. Suddenly, she was caught by Qi Sijia and put into her wide cotton pocket.

Meng Jiang was stunned.

“And,” Qi Sijia lowered her eyes.

“Mmm?”

Qi Sijia said, “Come back early.”

Meng Jiang subconsciously looked up and met Qi Sijia’s dark and bright eyes.

She heard the promise that set her mind at ease. “I have something to explain to you. After you’ve dealt with your own affairs.”
