After Taking Advantage Of An Opening [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 11

After Liang Mei joined them, Lin Xu and Xu Mengmeng gathered around her and began chatting.

Wen Ling didn’t participate in their conversation. Instead, she kept watching Gu Rongqing.

After greeting everyone, Gu Rongqing took her seat and barely spoke. The others at her table, however, chatted enthusiastically and toasted her from time to time. Gu Rongqing never refused, so she gradually drank more and began showing obvious signs of intoxication. Ji Chenxi blocked several drinks for her—until Wen Ling saw Xu Zhe pour Gu Rongqing a glass of baijiu.

“Best Actress Gu, I’m relying on you to earn back my investment.”

After saying that, Xu Zhe drained his own glass and gave Gu Rongqing’s drink a pointed look.

Gu Rongqing felt that Xu Zhe had been unfriendly toward her ever since they first met.

“President Xu, I’ll drink it for Rongqing.”

Ji Chenxi reached for Gu Rongqing’s glass, but Xu Zhe stopped her.

“Gu Rongqing is an artist under my family’s company. I’m not even allowed to ask her to drink one glass?”

Ji Chenxi had only known that Xu Zhe was part of Yiyang Group. She hadn’t expected his authority to extend into Yiyang Entertainment as well, leaving her momentarily hesitant…

“I’ll drink it for her.”

Wen Ling took the glass from Gu Rongqing’s hand and drained it in a single breath. Afterward, she turned the empty glass upside down in front of Xu Zhe and shook it.

Wen Ling’s alcohol tolerance was indeed slightly better than Gu Rongqing’s—but only slightly. She was fine after a little beer or red wine, but after an entire glass of baijiu, her stomach felt as though it were burning, and her head began to spin.

Just when everyone assumed Wen Ling would suffer for interfering, Xu Zhe suddenly smiled.

“Impressive tolerance.”

“Move!”

Wen Ling glared at him, took Gu Rongqing by the hand, and pulled her away from the dinner.

Gu Rongqing was unsteady as Wen Ling dragged her along. When they reached the elevator, she squeezed Wen Ling’s hand hard.

“Slow down…”

Wen Ling abruptly stopped and turned to look at her.

Gu Rongqing had already been struggling to maintain her balance. When Wen Ling stopped without warning, she stumbled and fell backward.

Wen Ling instinctively caught her.

The moment their bodies pressed together, Wen Ling’s heart trembled. It had been a long time since she had held Gu Rongqing. Her waist seemed even slimmer than before.

Gu Rongqing grew restless in Wen Ling’s arms. She pinched Wen Ling’s cheek and mumbled, “You’re kind of adorable…”

Wen Ling hadn’t noticed what she said. After holding her for quite some time, she realized that Gu Rongqing was still pinching her cheek.

She released her and asked, “Did you say something just now?”

Gu Rongqing ignored her. Looking at the hand that had been removed from Wen Ling’s face, she pouted.

“Rongqing?”

Gu Rongqing huffed without answering, then reached out to pinch Wen Ling’s face again.

Wen Ling hadn’t expected her to try once more and turned her head aside. When Gu Rongqing failed to touch her, she became visibly unhappy and tried again.

And so, they stood outside the elevator for quite some time—one determined to pinch the other’s cheek while the other kept dodging.

Eventually, Wen Ling couldn’t take it anymore. She was also afraid someone might come along and see them.

“Rongqing, which room are you staying in? I’ll take you back.”

“If we go back… will you still let me pinch your face?”

“Why do you want to pinch my face?”

“Because your face is… so soft…”

Gu Rongqing’s voice was thick with drunkenness.

Wen Ling felt helpless. The current Gu Rongqing was exactly like a child. There was no reasoning with her whatsoever.

After reaching the fifth floor, Wen Ling supported the unsteady Gu Rongqing with one arm to keep her from falling. With her other hand, she called Liang Mei and asked which room Gu Rongqing was staying in.

Liang Mei told her it was Room 503.

As Wen Ling headed there, she searched Gu Rongqing’s bag for her key card. Meanwhile, Liang Mei continued teasing her over the phone, saying that she had looked rather handsome earlier. Unfortunately, Rongqing was drunk and might not remember any of it.

Liang Mei also asked whether Wen Ling would be unable to share a room with Lin Xu tonight. If so, Liang Mei would sleep with Lin Xu instead.

Wen Ling’s head was already spinning slightly. Gu Rongqing’s entire body had gone limp, and she kept pressing herself into Wen Ling’s arms. Combined with Liang Mei’s suggestive words, Wen Ling began to feel hot.

The corners of her eyes reddened slightly as she instinctively embraced Gu Rongqing. She kneaded the waist she had longed for, causing Gu Rongqing to whimper in dissatisfaction.

Gu Rongqing nuzzled Wen Ling’s neck and murmured softly, “Mm… That tickles~”

Her delicate voice frightened Wen Ling sober. She immediately lowered her hand.

The moment Wen Ling stopped touching her, Gu Rongqing looked up unhappily. She pouted, lowered her head, and bit Wen Ling’s collarbone.

That sobered Wen Ling up considerably.

Half carrying Gu Rongqing, she quickly reached the room, opened the door, stepped inside, and shut it behind them in one smooth motion.

Only after leaning against the door and catching her breath did she remember that she was still holding Gu Rongqing.

Wen Ling could feel Gu Rongqing’s full curves pressed against her. She lowered her gaze and almost lost control of the hand that wanted to reach out…

Then Gu Rongqing kissed her cheek.

Before Wen Ling could react, Gu Rongqing pinched her face again and murmured, “So soft~”

Wen Ling was left completely bewildered by this barrage of actions.

Gu Rongqing had behaved similarly after getting drunk in the past. But back then, they had been legally married, and any reaction Wen Ling had was entirely reasonable.

Whenever a drunken Gu Rongqing clung to her with even the slightest trace of softness, Wen Ling would want to make her even softer—to tease her until she cried…

But now…

This situation was wrong.

Wen Ling hadn’t done anything, yet Gu Rongqing had thrown herself into her arms, pinched her face, and even… kissed her!

Wen Ling was about to push her away when Gu Rongqing released her on her own and walked toward the bed.

As she walked, she began removing her clothes. By the time she sat on the bed, they were already half undone.

Wen Ling’s mouth instantly went dry.

Her heart pounded like a drum, and she didn’t dare move.

To be honest, she had never seen Gu Rongqing like this before.

Gu Rongqing had always been reserved. Only when Wen Ling teased her too relentlessly would she reveal the slightest hint of seductiveness.

But now…

Gu Rongqing looked like an enchanting temptress.

When Gu Rongqing saw Wen Ling staring at her for so long without reacting or approaching, she became dissatisfied.

“Why aren’t you coming over~?”

“Rongqing… Um… Could you put your clothes back on?”

“Why? I’m so hot…”

As she spoke, her hand moved to pull her clothing even farther down…

“Wait, wait…!”

Wen Ling anxiously screamed inside, Stop taking them off!

Was this still her goddess?

Wasn’t Gu Rongqing practically inviting her to commit a crime?

Gu Rongqing frowned and stopped. Then she rose, walked over to Wen Ling, wrapped her arms around her neck, and kissed her.

At the same time, she rubbed her body against Wen Ling’s…

Unable to restrain herself, Wen Ling began kissing her back.

As she felt Gu Rongqing’s soft, warm lips, her hands also grew restless, roaming across Gu Rongqing’s body…

Their movements became increasingly daring.

Wen Ling wrapped her arms around Gu Rongqing, guided her to the bed, and pressed her down.

It wasn’t until Gu Rongqing let out a soft, alluring sound that Wen Ling startled and sobered considerably.

Her hands immediately stopped.

The corners of Gu Rongqing’s eyes were red as she looked at Wen Ling in confusion.

Wen Ling wanted to slap herself.

She silently cursed herself for being a beast.

If anything truly happened between them, how would Gu Rongqing look at her once she found out?

After taking some time to calm herself, Wen Ling gently coaxed Gu Rongqing to sleep.

But Gu Rongqing fussed and insisted on showering first. She didn’t mention what had just happened at all.

As expected, Wen Ling thought. Rongqing doesn’t remember what she was doing.

Wen Ling was the only beast here.

When Wen Ling drank, she was different from Gu Rongqing. No matter how dizzy she became, she retained some rationality.

But when Rongqing woke the following day, she wouldn’t remember anything unless someone reminded her. Even with a reminder, she could never recall everything clearly.

In the end, Wen Ling took Gu Rongqing to shower.

Gu Rongqing remained restless even in the bathroom. She soaked Wen Ling’s clothes, leaving them with no choice but to shower together.

Under Gu Rongqing’s unintentional teasing, Wen Ling finally managed—with great difficulty—to finish bathing them both.

Afterward, she carried Gu Rongqing back to bed.

The moment Gu Rongqing lay down, she fell asleep.

Wen Ling had originally intended to get dressed and return to her own room. But between the alcohol and the effort of bathing Gu Rongqing, she felt completely drained.

She lay on the bed to rest for a moment and ended up falling asleep as well…

After the dinner ended, Liang Mei wanted to check on Gu Rongqing. She called Wen Ling repeatedly, but Wen Ling never answered.

Ji Chenxi approached her.

“How is Rongqing? I called, but she didn’t answer.”

“When I spoke to her earlier, she had already returned to her room to sleep.”

“Then what about Wen Ling?”

Ji Chenxi’s voice became somewhat anxious.

Liang Mei replied irritably, “Wen Ling? Naturally, she returned to her own room.”

She certainly couldn’t tell Ji Chenxi that the two of them might be sleeping together.

After briefly saying goodbye to Ji Chenxi, Liang Mei pulled Lin Xu away with her.

It seemed she would most likely be sharing a room with Lin Xu tonight.

Sure enough, when they reached Wen Ling and Lin Xu’s room, Wen Ling was nowhere to be found.

“Well, that settles it. Sister can keep you company tonight…”

After saying that, Liang Mei went into the bathroom to shower.

Lin Xu, who hadn’t been thinking anything improper before, instantly flushed bright red.

Liang Mei emerged from the bathroom wrapped only in a towel.

The moment Lin Xu saw her, she leaped to her feet and stammered, “S-Sister Liang Mei… I-I’m going to shower. I’ll be quick.”

Liang Mei didn’t think much of it. She lay on the bed and began playing with her phone.

Sure enough, Lin Xu emerged very quickly.

Seeing her come out, Liang Mei rose to switch off the lights and go to sleep.

But the moment she stood, Lin Xu pushed her down onto the bed…

“Sister… I’m ready.”

Before Liang Mei could understand what Lin Xu meant, she suddenly felt a chill against her body.

Her towel had been pulled away…

And her mouth was sealed by Lin Xu’s lips…

Early the following morning, Wen Ling was the first to wake.

At first, she was confused and wondered where she was. Then everything that had happened the previous night came rushing back.

Gu Rongqing was still sleeping soundly beside her, her lips slightly pouted in an adorable expression.

Wen Ling was just about to move closer when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

The sound also awakened Gu Rongqing.

She opened her eyes and stared directly at Wen Ling.

“Last night, we…”

Wen Ling realized that neither of them was wearing any clothes. She was still wondering how to explain when Gu Rongqing suddenly said, “It’s fine.”

Wen Ling’s mind short-circuited upon hearing that, and she blurted out, “It’s fine even if we slept together?”

The moment the words left her mouth, she noticed Gu Rongqing’s gaze turn strange.
