Chapter 81 - 81 79 Are you sure its pressure not resistance

Chapter 81: Chapter 79 Are you sure it’s pressure, not resistance? Chapter 81: Chapter 79 Are you sure it’s pressure, not resistance? When she woke up, it was already three in the afternoon.

Lu Jingyan had slept exceptionally well; it was the best quality sleep she had had in years.

The heavy curtains blocked out all light, making no difference between day and night. Lu Jingyan kicked her legs and stretched lazily under the blanket, contemplating whether to sleep a little longer when her phone, hidden under the pillow, rang.

The call was from Song Xian.

Lu Jingyan yawned as she answered.

“Miss Lu, you finally picked up. If I couldn’t get through this time, I was considering storming over to your place.”

Lu Jingyan wiped away the tears that had spilled from her eyes, “Is something wrong?”

“Is something wrong?” Song Xian exploded, “Miss Lu, what do you think? Who was it that frenziedly asked me to go shopping with her this weekend just a few days ago? Who was it that messaged me every five minutes the other day, pestering me about what to eat for lunch during our shopping trip?”

“…”

Lu Jingyan stayed silent for three seconds, not quite willing to admit the person Song Xian mentioned was her, “Can I not say it?”

Song Xian let out an unceremonious cold laugh on the other end of the line.

Lu Jingyan raised her hand to rub her nose, her voice carrying a slight plead, “Xian Jie.”

Song Xian said nothing.

Lu Jingyan, “Xian Jie, I had insomnia last night.”

“Did you have another nightmare?”

During the times Song Xian stayed with Lu Jingyan overnight when they went out together, she would often wake up in the morning to go to the bathroom and find Lu Jingyan awake.

She thought Lu Jingyan just had a short sleep cycle, until one night, when she woke up and saw Lu Jingyan sitting on the ground in front of the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling window, staring blankly outside, that she realized those previous morning encounters weren’t due to short sleep but rather sleepless nights.

That night, she called her several times with no response. Only when she got out of bed, lifted the blanket, and walked over to her, did she notice Lu Jingyan’s vacant eyes, pale face, and slightly trembling fingers.

It was then that she squatted down in front of her, reached out a hand to gently touch her shoulder, and Lu Jingyan slowly turned her eyes to look at her.

Only at that moment did she realize that this glamorous, envied Miss Lu of the Lu family wasn’t as happy and fortunate as everyone thought.

“Why didn’t you call me if you had a nightmare? I’ve told you, if you can’t sleep at night, you can call my landline.”

Noticing that Song Xian on the phone was getting anxious, Lu Jingyan quickly spoke up, “It wasn’t a nightmare this time.”

Song Xian breathed a sigh of relief, “Then what was it?”

The question from Song Xian had Lu Jingyan feeling distressed again, “I don’t think I can handle Chen Kai’s cousin anymore.”

“Why?”

Lu Jingyan recounted last night’s events of drinking with Sheng Xian and running into two ex-boyfriends, all with a tone of utter disillusionment, “That isn’t even the worst part. The worst part is when I later talked to him about what those ex-boyfriends of mine were like, I accidentally revealed not a double-timing but a triple-timing situation.”

Song Xian couldn’t help but snort with laughter.

Lu Jingyan immediately shut up.

Realizing the displeasure of the miss, Song Xian quickly suppressed her laughter, “That’s a good thing, a way to let him know just how sought-after our Lady Yan is, and to put some pressure on him.”

“Are you sure it’s pressure, not resistance?”

“When did you become so unconfident? Don’t forget, you are the famed Lu Jingyan, the one every man should be kneeling before.”

In the past, Lu Jingyan would have thought the same, but after encountering Sheng Xian, she inexplicably lost that confidence, “But I just feel like, after last night, my chances are gone.”

“What made you have this misconception? Could it be…”

Suddenly, Song Xian paused.

Lu Jingyan, for some unknown reason, became a bit nervous.

She always felt that what Song Xian was about to say next would be the answer she was looking for.

In fact, last night she had vaguely sensed the reason but wasn’t quite certain.

Lu Jingyan held the phone, her heart lifted.

She held her breath and waited for a few seconds before finally hearing Song Xian’s voice.

“… Chen Kai’s cousin is interested in your ex-boyfriend?”
