After Losing Her Memory, the Teasing O Flirts with Me Every Day - Chapter 9
The room was filled with the rich scent of hyacinths, mixed with the seductive yet dangerous fragrance of datura coming from the woman on the bed. It was deadly and intoxicating.
Jiang Youwan lay back on the bed in a sorry state, lightly licking the lip Jiang Jinyi had bitten open. Her hazy gaze unconsciously hooked people in, greatly stirring the urge to torment her.
The scent of datura invaded Jiang Jinyi from every direction, but fortunately, she had already taken an inhibitor. She still remembered why she had come to Jiang Youwan’s room. She took out the inhibitor she had prepared long ago, walked up to Jiang Youwan, picked up her soft, boneless arm, and injected it without the slightest pity.
“Ha…”
Jiang Youwan turned her head to look at her, her eyes filled with a deep resentment she had never shown before.
She stared deeply at Jiang Jinyi.
Once the inhibitor entered her body, the restless pheromones finally calmed down. Jiang Youwan lay weakly on the bed. Jiang Jinyi found her phone in her suit pocket and opened it, only to see that it required a password.
She was too lazy to test what the password was. She grabbed Jiang Youwan’s hand and pressed her fingerprint down, unlocking it easily.
She had already deleted Jiang Youwan from her WeChat, but unexpectedly, Jiang Youwan’s profile picture was still the painting Jiang Jinyi had helped her change it to back then.
Jiang Jinyi began rummaging through her contacts. She found Jiang Ningshu’s chat box and tapped into it.
The chat history between her and Jiang Ningshu was very normal. So normal it was strange. Everything they talked about was work-related, and their tone was as cold as that of a superior and subordinate.
Why?
Didn’t Jiang Ningshu dote on her the most?
Their nearly five years of chat history were more or less like this. Jiang Jinyi caught one message from around four years ago, a few days before her nineteenth birthday, when Jiang Ningshu had sent Jiang Youwan a completely abrupt passage.
From now on, there’s no need to prepare birthday gifts for Xiao Jin anymore. Don’t hold any fantasies about Xiao Jin either.
You aren’t worthy of being with her.
Actually, I’ve known your purpose for a long time. Behave yourself.
Purpose?
What purpose did she have?
That time happened to be when Jiang Jinyi and Jiang Youwan had fallen out, and Jiang Jinyi had gone to another city for university.
Why would she say, “Don’t hold any fantasies about Xiao Jin”? Could it be that Jiang Ningshu already knew Jiang Youwan liked her back then?
Jiang Jinyi began searching elsewhere. She found Jiang Youwan’s notes. Aside from work-related records, there were things like: Beicheng weather, things Xiao Jin likes, things Xiao Jin hates, Xiao Jin’s stomach illness, which medicines Xiao Jin is allergic to… and so on. A whole series of things related to her.
Jiang Jinyi discovered that Jiang Youwan had actually prepared birthday gifts for her every year, but she had never made them public and never sent them out.
She scrolled down. It was very long, continuing all the way back to five years ago, not long after Jiang Youwan had first come to the Jiang family.
It had started from then.
So five years ago, Jiang Youwan had already begun liking her, and that affection had continued until now.
Jiang Jinyi found it hard to imagine that Jiang Youwan’s feelings for her were this devoted, stubborn, and sorrowful.
But she was not bewitched. She maintained her rational analysis.
Jiang Youwan had secretly loved her and wanted to be with her, but the greatest obstacle in that affection was Jiang Ningshu.
So she had always had more than enough reason to make Jiang Ningshu disappear. As long as Jiang Ningshu died, the Jiang Corporation would naturally fall into her hands, completing the ultimate purpose for which she had come to the Jiang family. She could also use every possible means to possess Jiang Jinyi.
This person deserved to die.
She should have died five years ago.
It was because she had appeared that Jiang Jinyi’s life had been ruined, her family had been ruined, and everything that belonged to her had been stolen away.
Hatred nearly swallowed Jiang Jinyi whole. She looked at Jiang Youwan’s face, brows furrowed from discomfort, eyes not yet closed. A voice in her mind was telling her: Kill her. Let her die. Let her die!
No. No.
Jiang Jinyi’s wildly pounding heart gradually calmed. She thought, She couldn’t let Jiang Youwan die so cheaply. She had to let everyone see Jiang Youwan’s true face. She had to ruin her reputation completely, then let her die.
Jiang Jinyi threw the phone back onto the bed.
Jiang Youwan struggled to open her eyes and looked weakly at the person before her. She could not tell what kind of gaze Jiang Jinyi was looking at her with. Sensing that Jiang Jinyi was about to leave, she grabbed the corner of her clothes.
Jiang Jinyi looked back at her. Her sweet face was stained with hostility as she gritted out, “Jiang. You. Wan.”
Jiang Youwan’s eyes grew even wetter. Feeling wronged and disappointed, she asked, “Why aren’t you calling me Sister anymore?”
Calling her Sister?
She wanted Jiang Jinyi to call her Sister?
In Jiang Jinyi’s eyes, this sentence was naked provocation.
When Jiang Jinyi was willing to call her Sister, she was Sister. When Jiang Jinyi was unwilling, she was nothing.
Jiang Jinyi shook off Jiang Youwan’s hand. “Call you Sister?”
“Do you really want me to call you Sister? Aren’t you secretly in love with me? Can you stop being so hypocritical and stop acting out this ridiculous scene of deep sisterly affection with me?”
Jiang Youwan fell silent. She struggled to take something from her suit pocket. She searched for a long time, so long that Jiang Jinyi was about to lose patience before she finally took it out.
It was a sheet of stomach medicine.
“Xiao Jin, your stomach will hurt,” she said weakly. Her eyes were full of drunkenness, yet also sincere.
Ever since Xiao Jin had returned to Luo City, Jiang Youwan had carried stomach medicine on her at all times.
She was afraid that if Xiao Jin felt unwell, she would not have any.
Xiao Jin’s stomach had been fragile since childhood. After drinking, it would definitely hurt.
But in the next second, Jiang Jinyi suddenly slapped that sheet of stomach medicine onto the floor, got up, and slammed the door as she left.

She did not return to her room. She went downstairs, drove away, and waited by the roadside for a short while. The passenger-side door opened, and a girl with twin ponytails skillfully hopped in, leaning against the seat as she caught her breath.
Jiang Jinyi turned her head to look at her and asked with some anticipation, “How was it?”
Xu An shook the camera in her hand. “Got it.”
“Hurry and fasten your seat belt,” Jiang Jinyi reminded her.
Xu An fastened her seat belt. Jiang Jinyi started the car and drove off.
The car drove steadily. Xu An crossed her legs and fiddled with the camera, looking at the photos she had just taken. The curve of her lips could not be suppressed at all. While admiring them, she said, “I have to say, Jiang Youwan really is seductive. Truly amazing. Look at how dazed with desire she is. I don’t know how you held back. If it were me…”
“Bastard!” Jiang Jinyi coldly cut her off and said with disgust, “If you like her, get out of the car and go find her yourself.”
“…” Xu An muttered, “It’s not like she likes me.”
Jiang Jinyi slammed on the brakes. The camera in Xu An’s hands almost flew out. Feeling Jiang Jinyi’s murderous gaze, Xu An knew she had provoked this eldest young lady into bristling. Her survival instinct exploded, and she smiled apologetically. “I’m joking. Just joking. Who would like a murderer?”
Jiang Jinyi glared at her viciously, then started the car again.
They disappeared into the night.
After Jiang Jinyi returned to the hotel, Xu An sent her all the photos she had taken. They were all candid shots of Jiang Youwan in heat, dazed with desire—kissing her, being pushed onto the bed by her, being forcefully injected with an inhibitor by her…
They were especially alluring.
Jiang Youwan was already very seductive in appearance, and she was even more seductive when in heat, completely different from her usual image as a cold, elegant, powerful woman.
Who could have imagined that Jiang Youwan would go into heat for her own “younger sister,” and in such a wanton way too?
If these photos were leaked…
Although Jiang Jinyi was also in them, she herself did not care. Those who had nothing to lose feared nothing. Jiang Youwan needed to maintain her image, but Jiang Jinyi did not.
These photos could absolutely threaten Jiang Youwan.

Jiang Jinyi investigated the restaurant Jiang Youwan went to every day and reserved the table beside the seat she often sat in. Half an hour before Jiang Youwan’s usual dinner time, she arrived at the restaurant, ordered a table full of lavish dishes, and also ordered two bottles of red wine.
Xu An said that sometimes, if a person was pushed to a certain point, until they could no longer endure it and wanted to smash the jar outright, that person might very likely admit their crimes in a moment of fury.
How did one push a person to the point where they could no longer endure?
Jiang Jinyi did not know about other people, but with Jiang Youwan, she knew what she cared about most. She knew how to anger her, knew her bottom line.
She knew how to hurt her the most.
Jiang Jinyi wore a white strapless dress, revealing her collarbones and her long, fragile swan neck. Her ink-black hair had several small braids woven into it. Her makeup was exquisite and carefully done, paired with small decorations. She looked elegant and beautiful, very much like someone who had dressed up with great care to go on a date with her lover.
If Jiang Youwan saw that Jiang Jinyi had dressed so beautifully just to go on a date with an alpha, how could she possibly not be provoked?
The hired alpha had not arrived yet. Jiang Jinyi was a little bored and lowered her head to play on her phone.
Suddenly, a shadow fell over her.
Sensing someone standing in front of her, she assumed it was the alpha she had hired. She casually lifted her eyes, but her gaze suddenly froze.
The woman had an extremely enchanting face. Her body emitted the scent unique to an alpha. With a smile on her face, she bent down and said softly beside Jiang Jinyi’s ear, “Miss, you’re so beautiful.”
So beautiful?
If this had been any other time and Jiang Jinyi had been hit on like this, she would definitely have given the person a cold face. But now…
Jiang Jinyi carefully sized her up. A red long dress, big waves in her hair, a sexy and slender figure, and a smile like a fox. She gave off the feeling of a dazzling, wicked seductress.
But…
Seeing Jiang Jinyi staring blankly, Wen Ye raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. “Miss Jiang?”
Suddenly, Jiang Jinyi recognized her. There was an irrepressible surprise in her voice. “Are you Wen Ye?”
The woman was somewhat surprised by her question. “Miss Jiang knows me?”
“I’ve seen your paintings.” Jiang Jinyi curved her eyes, revealing dimples. Her tone was light. “They’re very good.”
Wen Ye immediately smiled, her tone gentle and soft. “Miss Jiang’s paintings are also very good.”
Plenty of people had praised Jiang Jinyi’s paintings before, but this time, she was a little excited. Her eyes shone brightly. “You’ve seen my paintings?”
“Mm…” Wen Ye raised a brow and said lightly, “Of course I have. The paintings of Luo City’s Miss Jiang—naturally, I had to appreciate them.”
Wen Ye added, “What? Are you my little fan?”
Jiang Jinyi froze at such direct words. Embarrassed by her teasing tone, she paused for a moment before unnaturally saying, “I suppose so.”
Jiang Jinyi had liked Wen Ye’s paintings since she was a teenager and had bought quite a few to collect. Wen Ye had been overseas all these years, and Jiang Jinyi had not known when she had returned to the country.
Seeing her adorable reaction and catching the pink tips of her ears, Wen Ye’s smile deepened. “Miss Jiang is a little different from what I imagined.”
“The rumors all say Miss Jiang is arrogant and domineering, but they never said Miss Jiang was this easy to make shy.”
At her words, Jiang Jinyi’s ears turned even redder. She blinked and looked away in embarrassment. “I’m not that easy to make shy…”
Wen Ye’s smile did not fade. She asked, “Are you waiting for someone to eat with?”
Jiang Jinyi shook her head. Her plans changed on the spot. “I’m not waiting for anyone. If you have time…”
Jiang Jinyi glanced at the seat across from her.
Wen Ye smiled and sat down opposite Jiang Jinyi.
The waiter came over to open the wine for them. Wen Ye took the bottle and poured two glasses, handing one to Jiang Jinyi. “Miss Jiang, have a drink?”
With red-tipped ears, Jiang Jinyi accepted the wine. Just as she was about to tilt her head back and drink it, a hand suddenly reached out and pressed down the glass in her hand.
Jiang Jinyi turned her head in surprise.
At some point, Jiang Youwan had appeared behind her. Looking at Wen Ye before them, the elegant, faint smile on her face had vanished completely. Her expression looked as if it were covered in a layer of frost, carrying a possessive hostility.
“Sorry. She can’t drink.”
