After Punching Her Way Through The Entertainment Industry [Ancient-to-Modern] - Chapter 17

Chu Yihan had only just pulled the car around when she saw Yan Qing coming out of the club.

When she looked more closely, she was startled.

“I’m sorry, but… how did you end up bringing her with you?”

Chu Yihan stared wide-eyed at Meng Shi in Yan Qing’s arms.

Yan Qing did not answer.

She placed Meng Shi in the back seat. Fortunately, the girl was light and did not require much effort to carry.

What surprised Yan Qing even more was that after being picked up, Meng Shi had simply accepted it as perfectly natural and fallen asleep.

“Stop talking nonsense. Take me home first.”

After getting into the car, Yan Qing took out her phone and called Ye Wei, instructing her to ask Yan Qing’s private doctor, Mu Yao, to wait at her house.

“Great Director, does this… count as abducting a young girl?”

Chu Yihan repeatedly glanced through the rearview mirror at Meng Shi, who was sleeping with her head resting against Yan Qing’s shoulder.

Yan Qing helplessly pursed her lips and urged her to drive faster.

In truth, she had acted impulsively earlier.

By the time she calmed down, she had already carried Meng Shi outside.

She could not simply abandon her by the roadside.

Besides, this girl was sleeping exceptionally peacefully against her.

Yan Qing picked up Meng Shi’s jacket and draped it over her. She carefully supported her injured right arm.

Meng Shi rested her head against Yan Qing’s shoulder. Her long eyelashes concealed those eyes that inspired endless imagination. Her small face was flushed, and her thin lips were slightly pursed.

Yan Qing’s heart began stirring as she looked at her.

She hurriedly turned her head away, but images of Meng Shi fighting with everything she had during the match appeared uncontrollably in her mind.

And that body capable of making anyone’s hormones surge…

She had looked unbelievably cool.

Yan Qing stared straight ahead, desperately restraining the hand resting around Meng Shi’s waist from wandering.

When the car finally entered the villa district, Yan Qing sighed in relief.

She had nearly lost control of herself!

They drove all the way to her front door.

Ye Wei had already been waiting there for some time.

When she saw Yan Qing get out of the car, she initially assumed something had happened to her and was about to ask.

Then she saw Yan Qing carry Meng Shi out of the vehicle.

“Boss! Kidnapping children is illegal!”

“Stop talking nonsense and come help me.”

They carried Meng Shi into Yan Qing’s bedroom and placed her on the bed.

Mu Yao was called in to perform a basic examination.

“Mm. Nothing serious. Most of these are only superficial injuries.”

“Her forearm looks somewhat severe. If she can move it normally, it should be fine, but it would still be best to take her to the hospital tomorrow for an X-ray.”

After finishing the examination, Mu Yao repeatedly raised her eyebrows at Yan Qing.

“Sister Qing, where did you abduct such a respectable young lady from? Her figure is really impressive.”

“What does that have to do with you?!”

In the living room, Ye Wei glanced toward the bedroom.

“Good heavens. Did Sister Qing take the wrong medicine?”

“She has never allowed anyone onto her bed before.”

This was one of Yan Qing’s personal habits.

She rarely allowed anyone into her bedroom, and her bed was absolutely forbidden territory.

Forget lying on it—even sitting was prohibited.

Not even Chu Yihan had ever sat on Yan Qing’s bed.

“Hey, Big Boss, weren’t the two of you supposed to be on a date today? How did you end up abducting someone?”

Ye Wei could not suppress her curiosity.

Chu Yihan gave two displeased snorts. The words I’m unhappy might as well have been written across her face.

Ye Wei wisely stopped speaking.

Inside, however, she was thinking:

It’s over. It’s over. Surely these two haven’t created another enormous scandal?

Before long, the bedroom door opened.

“Thank you for your trouble today. Go home and rest early.”

Yan Qing escorted Mu Yao out and spoke to Ye Wei as well.

“Mm. Then Sister Qing, Big Boss, we’ll leave first.”

The two sensible women quickly made their escape.

Chu Yihan sat on the sofa with nothing to do, stubbornly refusing to leave.

“Old Chu, thank you for driving today. Be careful on your way home. I’ll invite you out again in a few days when I’m less busy.”

“I’m not leaving. I’m exhausted and can’t drive anymore.”

Chu Yihan shamelessly stretched out on the sofa and refused to move.

Yan Qing could do nothing about her, so she went to get her a light blanket.

【Chu Yihan: Why does that little brat get to sleep in your bedroom?!】

Returning to the bedroom, Yan Qing looked at Meng Shi sleeping soundly on the bed and felt that she might truly have gone insane.

She had abducted a child, brought her home, and even placed her on her own bed.

More importantly, she did not understand why she cared so much about this girl.

Yan Qing leaned against the desk with her arms folded, wondering what strange medicine she had taken today.

When she turned around, she saw the medicinal spray Mu Yao had left on the table.

Then she looked at the bruises and swelling across Meng Shi’s body.

She sighed.

Perhaps she had owed this girl something in a previous life.

Yan Qing sat at the bedside and removed Meng Shi’s outer clothing.

The hand holding the spray paused.

Her eyes unconsciously drifted downward.

Firm, toned muscles that still retained their elasticity.

A flat abdomen.

And, oh my, that round, perky bottom…

Tsk…

“Cough. No…”

Yan Qing shook her head and withdrew her restless hand.

Unfortunately, her eyes were equally difficult to control.

She hurriedly applied medicine to Meng Shi, pulled the blanket over her, and finally calmed down once everything was hidden from sight.

By the time she finished taking care of Meng Shi, it was already past midnight.

Yan Qing took a shower and relaxed before carrying a thin blanket toward the sofa.

Fortunately, there was another sofa set inside the bedroom.

“Mm… ngh…”

She had only just lain down when she heard Meng Shi making two soft sounds from the bed.

Yan Qing initially thought she had imagined them.

She listened carefully.

The sounds came again.

She hurried over and saw Meng Shi frowning slightly, clearly sleeping restlessly.

“Meng Shi? What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”

“Mm…”

Meng Shi let out a low murmur.

Yan Qing placed a hand against her forehead.

She did not have a fever, but her complexion looked strange, and she was mumbling something indistinctly.

Yan Qing climbed onto the bed and leaned close to Meng Shi’s ear.

Only then did she hear her quietly saying that it hurt.

“It hurts? Where?”

Still half asleep, Meng Shi grabbed Yan Qing’s hand and placed it over her chest.

Yan Qing was startled and did not dare move for a long time.

Meng Shi slowly opened her eyes in a daze.

Yan Qing awkwardly met her gaze.

“Um, I wasn’t trying to take advantage of you. You were the one who—”

“Qing’er…”

Meng Shi suddenly spoke.

Yan Qing nearly exploded on the spot.

“Mm… Although I look young, calling me that still isn’t quite appro—mmph!”

Before Yan Qing could finish, Meng Shi’s lips suddenly covered hers!

The older woman instantly turned to stone.

All she could feel was a faint coolness and trace of sweetness between their lips.

She actually allowed Meng Shi’s agile tongue to cause trouble.

Yan Qing was thirty-six years old.

Despite spending her life within the chaotic whirlpool of the entertainment industry, she had never behaved excessively intimately with anyone.

Meng Shi’s sudden attack left her completely helpless.

She hurriedly pushed her away, covered her mouth, and shifted toward the edge of the bed, her eyes filled with panic.

Meng Shi lay on her side with her eyes slightly open.

The gaze she directed at Yan Qing was filled entirely with love.

“Qing’er.”

“Be quiet!”

“Qing’er…”

“Stop calling me that!”

“Qing—”

“Mmph!”

A peaceful night’s sleep followed.

When Meng Shi gradually regained awareness, her entire body felt exceptionally comfortable.

She had slept unusually well and woke feeling completely refreshed.

However, before opening her eyes, she sensed that something was wrong.

The bed was extremely soft.

The blanket was light and gentle.

Most importantly, she could hear another person breathing!

Meng Shi was startled and hurriedly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was a luxurious, unfamiliar room.

That was not important!

Meng Shi slowly turned her head.

Yan Qing was lying beside her.

Her slightly curled long hair spread around her. Her skin was smooth as cream, and her face resembled a lotus blossom.

She looked like someone from a painting.

However, her swollen red lips made the scene slightly strange.

Meng Shi pursed her lips and swallowed.

She carefully turned onto her side, put her back toward Yan Qing, curled into herself, and grabbed her hair while trying to remember everything that had happened the previous night.

Wasn’t she fighting?

How had she ended up here?

Why was she sharing a bed with Yan Qing?

Wait.

Could the Qing’er she had seen last night have been Yan Qing?

Then she was finished.

She seemed to have kissed her and also…

Meng Shi desperately tried to remember whether she had done anything even more excessive.

Behind her, Yan Qing suddenly shifted.

Meng Shi was so frightened that she held her breath.

She simply buried herself beneath the blanket, not daring to breathe loudly.

What should she do?

What could she possibly do?!

Was Yan Qing awake?

No.

The better question was whether she had been able to sleep at all.

Yan Qing lay on her side and watched Meng Shi hide beneath the blanket, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She had not slept the entire night.

She had only seen that Meng Shi appeared to be waking up and quickly closed her eyes to pretend she was asleep.

Yan Qing did not know how to face her.

The situation had already surpassed mere awkwardness.

What should she do?

Yan Qing did not know either.

Pretend nothing had happened?

Or simply never mention it?

Yan Qing pursed her lips.

No.

She could not allow herself to suffer a loss for nothing.

She could not swallow this anger.

As Yan Qing considered her options, she noticed the person beneath the blanket wriggling around like a worm.

Half of Meng Shi’s body had already emerged as she prepared to sneak out of bed.

“Pfft…”

Yan Qing could not restrain herself and laughed.

Immediately afterward came a loud thud.

“Ow… hiss…”

Meng Shi inhaled sharply and hurriedly covered her mouth.

“Cough.”

Yan Qing deliberately made some noise to indicate that she was awake.

However, after waiting for a while, Meng Shi still did not move.

Surely this girl did not believe Yan Qing could no longer see her simply because she was hiding beneath the bed?

Yan Qing helplessly sat up and looked over the edge.

She saw Meng Shi clutching her right arm with a painful expression, gritting her teeth and enduring it.

“Are you all right?”

Yan Qing was startled.

She hurriedly helped Meng Shi back onto the bed, called Mu Yao, and applied more medicine.

Meng Shi’s face remained bright red throughout the entire process.

She kept pulling the blanket around herself, attempting to conceal one thing and then another.

Her arm appeared to have swollen.

She had most likely injured it again when she fell from the bed.

“Does it still hurt?”

The moment Yan Qing asked, her mind suddenly returned to the previous night.

It had been precisely because Meng Shi kept murmuring that she was in pain that Yan Qing had…

Remembering what happened, the older woman became embarrassed and angry.

She left Meng Shi alone and refused to pay attention to her.

“Um… yesterday, I… I didn’t… do anything excessive, did I?”

Meng Shi’s gaze wandered.

She urgently wanted to know whether she had done that to Yan Qing.

Yan Qing’s heart stirred when she heard this.

She did not remember?

Wonderful!

With her back toward Meng Shi, the older woman’s eyes darted around as a wicked plan formed in her mind.

“I… sigh…”

Meng Shi did not know how to explain herself.

She could hardly say that she had been confused from sleep and mistook Yan Qing for someone else.

Hmm…

As she thought about it, she suddenly noticed Yan Qing’s body twitch from the corner of her eye.

Meng Shi was startled.

“You…”

She tilted her head and saw Yan Qing’s profile.

A crystal-clear tear hung from her thick eyelashes!

Her tightly furrowed brows revealed endless sorrow.

“No. Nothing… happened.”

Yan Qing took a deep breath and laughed softly.

The sound was filled with bitterness.

Seeing her like this, Meng Shi’s head began to ache.

“Y-you… don’t cry…”

“You… sigh, I…”

Meng Shi was completely helpless.

Yan Qing lay down and buried herself beneath the blanket, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Meng Shi naturally assumed she was heartbroken and crying.

【Yan Qing: Hahahahahaha! I can’t take it anymore! I’m going to die from holding in my laughter!】

“Please stop crying. I…”

Before she could finish, urgent knocking interrupted Meng Shi.

Beneath the blanket, Yan Qing instantly suppressed her laughter and emerged.

Her messy hair, flushed cheeks, and tear tracks made Meng Shi feel that she was truly unforgivable!

Yan Qing took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and glanced resentfully at Meng Shi before getting up to answer the door.

Seeing Yan Qing walking strangely, with her legs slightly unable to move apart, Meng Shi turned her head and slapped herself.

She truly was not human!
