Chapter 161 An Encounter with Qi Xingyue
Ye Jingke gently bit her ear, his voice hoarse, revealing a strong desire, "How easy is it to kill someone in public? Besides, I don't want to implicate innocent people."
Cheng Ai didn't want to dwell on the past anymore. She shrank back and changed the subject, "Since Shengding International is the result of your grandfather and grandmother's hard work, don't give it to your cheap father. Besides, you don't need to quit the entertainment industry. I like recording variety shows. I can earn money while enjoying the natural scenery. How fun is that!"
Ye Jingke pressed her down, his warm hand gently stroking her cheek, and he murmured affectionately, "Once you're better, let's announce our engagement, okay?"
Cheng Ai's cheeks flushed, her eyes were moist as autumn water, her voice was soft and gentle, and she nodded almost inaudibly.
A warm feeling welled up in Ye Jingke's heart. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Cheng Ai vomit a large amount of blood.
He didn't have time to care about the bloodstains on his face; he immediately sat up, pulled out a tissue, and wiped her mouth.
Cheng Ai curled up into a ball again as the familiar, excruciating pain surged through her, contorting her features and nearly suffocating her.
Before she knew it, a few drops of a fishy-sweet liquid were poured into her mouth, and she swallowed them without thinking.
Slowly opening her eyes, Cheng Ai met a pair of dark, anxious eyes filled with panic. She sighed weakly, "My soul was injured by Jiang Haiyuan's soul, so I can't absorb the spiritual power of the jade hairpin and the butterfly jade. I estimate that I will have to drink your blood for a long time to come."
Ye Jingke grasped her cold, soft hand and placed it against his chest, saying firmly, "My entire life belongs to you, and you decide what's best for my blood."
Cheng Ai's eyes welled up with tears, which rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. He gently wiped them away for her, but to his surprise, she cried even harder. "You drink blood all the time, aren't you afraid I'll turn into a monster?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingke embraced her, his tone doting and indulgent, "As long as it's you, I'll love you no matter what."
Cheng Ai chuckled, her worries vanishing. She looked at his face, then at herself, and frowned, saying, "I'm so tired. I want to take a shower first, then get some sleep."
"Okay!" Ye Jingke kissed the corner of her mouth, went to the bathroom to turn on the water, and contacted the hotel front desk to ask them to help buy a few sets of clothes.
Twenty minutes later, Cheng Ai lay half-reclined in the bathtub, her face flushed, letting the man wash her hair and massage her back, arms, and legs.
She actually wanted to refuse, but her limbs were weak and powerless, so she had no choice but to go along with him.
The man's fingers were gentle yet domineering, as if each one possessed magic. He pressed slowly, causing a tingling, numb sensation. Cheng Ai gradually relaxed, tilted her head, and drifted off to sleep.
Seeing this, Ye Jingke's movements became even gentler, as if she were the most precious and rare treasure in the world, and he dared not touch her lightly.
The girl's skin was soft and supple. After soaking in hot water, her fair skin blushed with a faint pink hue. Coupled with her comfortable appearance, she resembled a tempting fruit, exuding a fatal allure.
Ye Jingke also wanted to keep his eyes straight ahead, but his eyes couldn't help but wander around.
His heart was pounding, his throat was dry, his breathing was erratic, and the blood in his body was boiling as if it were about to explode.
The gaze slowly moves, tracing the girl's shoulders emerging from the water, her snowy neck, collarbone, chest, and little feet, finally settling on her cherry-red lips.
Ye Jingke's deep eyes gradually turned fiery, and he couldn't help but lower his head to capture the sweetness.
"Ugh... ugh..." Cheng Ai frowned, let out a soft groan, tilted her head back, and tried to dodge.
Ye Jingke snapped back to reality, turned around with reddened ears, and gasped for breath.
No, she's not in good health and absolutely cannot endure any more hardship.
He wrapped Cheng Ai tightly in a bath towel and placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then went back to the bathroom to take cold showers again and again.
The next day, as dawn broke, the sky was a clear, deep blue, with white clouds drifting lazily by. Sunlight streamed through the glass windows, filling the room with warmth.
Cheng Ai opened her sleepy eyes and immediately saw Ye Jingke sitting on the sofa fiddling with his computer.
She stretched out her slender, white arms, as delicate as lotus roots, and waved them lazily. "I'm so hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Ye Jingke looked up, her eyes gentle as water. "Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring it over right away."
Cheng Ai nodded, turned over, closed her eyes, and continued to catch up on her sleep.
Not long after, the doorbell rang. Ye Jingke opened the door, took the food cart, secretly cut his finger with a knife, squeezed a few drops of blood into one of the glasses of juice, and then served the food.
During the meal, Ye Jingke hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ai Ai, how are you feeling? There's a recording session on Saturday that requires you to record for two hours. Can you manage?"
Fearing she might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained, "That interview program was chosen by netizens through voting. If you cancel without a reason, it might cause public outcry."
After a long rest, Cheng Ai felt no abnormalities except for fatigue, so she agreed.
At noon, the two declined Jiang Tao's offer of thanks and boarded the plane.
Because Ye Jingke had to film a movie, he brought Cheng Ai to the set. Fearing that he might not be able to take good care of her, he also called Jin Manman.
When Cheng Ai first entered the film set, her eyes sparkled as she looked around in amazement.
Ye Jingke had a lot of scenes and hadn't had a moment's rest since entering the studio. Cheng Ai wandered around, and Jin Manman accompanied her and chatted with her the whole time, so it wasn't boring at all.
As darkness fell, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in ancient costume appeared before them, arrogantly raising her chin. "New employee? You two have twenty minutes. I want a bottle of red wine and a medium-rare steak!"
After saying that, she turned and left, her back view exuding extreme arrogance.
Jin Manman rolled her eyes dismissively. "Tch, isn't she just a vixen who climbed to the top by stealing other people's luck? What right does she have to boss around the artists of Shengding International?"
After several hours of gossiping, the assistant's true personality was revealed.
She tugged at Cheng Ai's sleeve and strode forward, muttering, "It's fine if you ask me to run errands, but Sister Ai is dressed so fashionably, she doesn't look like a staff member at all."
She sneered, her words filled with gritted teeth, "Drinking red wine, eating steak? Ha, go hungry, I'm not buying you any!"
Stepping into the lounge, Cheng Ai couldn't help but smile when she saw her assistant's flushed round face.
She took out her phone and glanced at the time, then asked casually, "Was that woman Qi Xingyue just now? What? Hasn't she been blacklisted yet?"
"Huh?" Jin Manman was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Qi Xingyue's status in the entertainment industry is comparable to that of a top-tier star. Yuedong Entertainment will never give up on her."
She paused, then leaned closer mysteriously and whispered, "The special guest star of this film was snatched away by her from a newly signed artist in the same company. And the one who was squeezed out, I heard, was a popular young actress that Zou Kun poached from another company at a high price!"
"Zou Kun?" Cheng Ai poured herself a cup of hot water and sipped it slowly. "That name sounds familiar. Who is it again?"
