Our Love, A Public Service - Chapter 67
Chapter 67
Chi Jia grumbled a string of complaints.
Surnamed Jing was ruthless, not just a vixen, but a cunning one, teasing her every night through the screen, but never making a move to see her in person.
After three days of this, Chi Jia, driven mad by longing, finally gave in.
She admitted that she wasn't Jing Rui's match when it came to playing games. After this painful lesson, Miss Chi had learned her lesson; there were some things she would no longer try to hide.
Jing Rui was a master of psychological warfare, easily manipulating Chi Jia, having seen through her stubbornness and pride. She knew that with someone like Chi Jia, coaxing wouldn't work, sometimes you had to push her to the edge for her to be honest and proactive.
"Miss me?" Jing Rui asked softly, looking at Chi Jia's almost explosive expression on the screen. She deliberately positioned the camera to show only her upper body.
Chi Jia had been missing Jing Rui, but she was too proud to admit it, waiting for Jing Rui to make the first move.
Now, in the dead of night, all she could see was Jing Rui's seductive image on the screen: her face, neck, collarbone, shoulders, and cleavage…
Several nights in a row, it was definitely deliberate.
Chi Jia regretted her stubbornness; if she hadn't been so difficult the past few days and had agreed to let Jing Rui pick her up, she would be cuddling with her beautiful girlfriend right now, how blissful that would be.
After all, the only time she and Jing Rui could be together was at night.
Even through the screen, Jing Rui's seduction was incredibly effective, exceeding her expectations.
"Missing your wife?" Jing Rui asked, a seductive smile playing on her lips.
Chi Jia admitted defeat, no longer able to hide her feelings. She looked at Jing Rui on the screen and grumbled, "Isn't it obvious?"
"If you don't say it, how would I know?" Jing Rui continued to tease her, not minding acting coquettishly in front of the camera, asking for the third time, "Do you miss me or not?"
Chi Jia was silent for a moment.
"I miss you!" Despite being a love confession, Chi Jia yelled it out, her usual bluntness showing. Hugging a pillow, she brought up moving in again, her voice softening slightly. "Come pick me up tomorrow…"
If only she had agreed earlier.
"I won't be free until the weekend. I have a conference out of town tomorrow, I'll be busy for the next few days."
Not free again. Chi Jia's shoulders slumped, and she muttered, "When are you ever not busy?"
"I'll definitely spend the weekend with you, just the two of us." Actually, Jing Rui also had plans for the weekend, but she postponed them, considering the circumstances.
"Don't make promises you can't keep…" Chi Jia didn't believe her; even on weekends, Jing Rui was always elusive.
Still sulking about her not showing up that night, Jing Rui knew it wasn't just about that, she hadn't been spending enough time with Chi Jia. "It won't happen again, I promise."
Although they wanted to be together every moment during this honeymoon phase, there was more to life than just romance. Chi Jia was also career-minded, and despite her complaints, she understood Jing Rui's busy schedule.
"If you're too busy with work, I understand, I'm serious, I'm not angry." Chi Jia added, afraid Jing Rui would misunderstand.
Not being angry didn't mean being happy, and Jing Rui could see the disappointment on Chi Jia's face. She smiled. "Is work more important than you?"
Chi Jia's heart warmed, assuming Jing Rui knew about her birthday this weekend, which was why she said she would definitely spend time with her. She smiled. "Of course not, you're definitely more important than work."
"Babe…" Jing Rui's sudden low, husky voice made Chi Jia's heart flutter, and she looked at Jing Rui expectantly.
"I miss you so much."
Four simple words, but coming from Jing Rui, they held a special meaning, making Chi Jia's heart soar.
Although happy, Chi Jia still pouted. "Then why aren't you coming to see me? You're not coming just because I told you not to, are you?"
Those words were Chi Jia's true feelings, rarely spoken aloud.
Even her childishness was endearing. Jing Rui, looking at Chi Jia on the screen, couldn't help but smile. "Let's not be stubborn anymore, okay?"
"Okay…" Chi Jia agreed. They didn't have much time together as it was, arguing would only waste it.
"Go to bed early." Jing Rui was about to hang up.
Chi Jia instinctively stopped her. "Wait."
"What is it?"
Chi Jia hesitated for a moment, then said sweetly, "I want to see you a little longer, is that not allowed?"
Miss Chi, acting like this, was incredibly endearing, and Jing Rui, also reluctant to end the call, said softly, "Little vixen, wait until I get back, I'll show you…"
"Show me what?"
"How to devour you."
"..."
Chi Jia didn't know when she had earned the nickname "little vixen" from Jing Rui, but lying alone in bed at night, staring at the ceiling, she really wanted Jing Rui to "devour" her.
Another lonely night.
Jing Rui was away on business, and she wouldn't be back for a few days. In the darkness, Chi Jia rolled over, hugging her pillow, which seemed to faintly carry Jing Rui's scent, but it wasn't her.
Tossing and turning, Chi Jia finally drifted off to sleep, and perhaps because she was feeling particularly lonely, she had a very vivid dream that night, naturally starring the vixen.
The next morning, Chi Jia woke up, still caught between dream and reality. She instinctively reached out to the other side of the bed, then realizing it was empty, she sat up and rubbed her head, the reality sinking in.
Sunlight streamed through the window, the curtains unable to block its warmth.
Chi Jia sat there, lost in thought.
She was hopelessly in love, waking up with Jing Rui on her mind…
Finally, Friday arrived.
8 PM.
Chatter and laughter filled the air.
"Queen Chi is treating us tonight, let's eat our fill, it's not easy to get a chance to take advantage of her like this."
"Exactly, I haven't eaten anything since breakfast."
"Queen Chi was number one in sales again last month, she has to bleed a little."
"The important thing is, it's our Queen Chi's birthday!"
"Yes, yes, wishing our little fairy eternal youth!"
"Find a tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend this year..."
"Okay, okay, enough already." Chi Jia interrupted their teasing, exasperated. Her birthday wish this year wasn't to find a rich and handsome boyfriend; she already had a perfect, rich, and beautiful girlfriend.
Chi Jia's birthday was tomorrow, and she had promised to treat her colleagues to dinner, but since she would be spending her actual birthday with her girlfriend, she had moved the dinner up a day.
The noisy group arrived at a high-end restaurant, Chi Jia surrounded by her colleagues, the lone flower among green leaves, entering Number Nine.
Having dinner at your girlfriend's restaurant, keeping the money in the family.
"Miss Chi, right this way."
As usual, Number Nine wasn't crowded, the ambiance comfortable and elegant.
"Xiao Jia, how did you manage to book a table here?"
Chi Jia flipped her hair, her tone implying a deeper meaning. "I'm not like you guys."
Indeed, she wasn't.
Many of the staff at Number Nine recognized Chi Jia, even knowing about her "close relationship" with their boss, secretly referring to Miss Chi as "the boss's wife."
The food arrived quickly.
"Cheers, happy early birthday to our Queen Chi!"
The group was lively and boisterous, but Chi Jia, holding her glass, was thinking about when Jing Rui would be back.
Just as they were about to drink, Chi Jia's phone rang. It was the person she had been thinking about.
"I need to take this." Chi Jia answered the phone and heard Jing Rui say…
"Only one drink."
"Huh?" Chi Jia didn't react immediately.
"Don't drink too much, just one drink." Jing Rui, standing on the second floor, smiled, seeing Chi Jia's confused expression.
"How did you know I was…" Chi Jia suddenly realized, looking around, then her gaze landed on the second floor.
Jing Rui, holding a wine glass, smiled and raised it in a toast, her smile alluring and seductive.
Chi Jia smiled, a silly grin spreading across her face. The vixen, always playing these little games, but it worked, she was happy.
This scene was reminiscent of last year, when Chi Jia was also having dinner with her colleagues, and Jing Rui had been watching from the second floor. Chi Jia had thought this woman was incredibly beautiful, almost dangerously so, and who would have thought, she had indeed been captivated by her.
"Why are you back already? Didn't you say you would be late?" Chi Jia asked on the phone.
"Just arrived, wanted to surprise you." Jing Rui knew Chi Jia was treating her colleagues to dinner tonight, so she had come straight to Number Nine after getting off the plane.
It was indeed a surprise, making Chi Jia lose her appetite.
"Finish your dinner first." Jing Rui, seeing through Chi Jia's thoughts, said.
"Do you want to come down and join us?" Chi Jia's gaze was fixed on the second floor.
"I've already eaten."
After hanging up, Jing Rui took a sip of her wine, then winked at Chi Jia, a playful, seductive wink.
Chi Jia understood, but then…
Before she, the actual girlfriend, could react, her colleagues couldn't contain their excitement.
"The owner is so beautiful~"
"Xiao Zhou, she's looking at you!"
"Me?" Xiao Zhou, sitting next to Chi Jia, straightened up, his face flushed.
"Yes, you."
Chi Jia rolled her eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Her vixen's single wink had completely captivated her male colleagues, none of them paying attention to what she said.
"I think she's coming over here."
"She's really coming over!"
"Be proactive, ask for her number, this is your chance!"
Their excitement continued, while Chi Jia just rolled her eyes, feeling a cold sweat.
Jing Rui walked over and stopped in front of Chi Jia, asking, as if to an ordinary customer, "Are you satisfied with tonight's dishes?"
Before Chi Jia could answer, Xiao Zhou blurted out, "Very satisfied, extremely delicious!"
"Yes, yes, yes…" The others echoed his sentiment.
"Glad you like it." Jing Rui smiled at Chi Jia, her eyes saying, I want to take you right now.
", could I… have your contact information?" Encouraged by his colleagues, Xiao Zhou finally mustered the courage to ask.
"…" Chi Jia glared at Jing Rui, thinking, this is what you get for flirting with everyone.
"No, you can't." Jing Rui maintained her charming smile. "My girlfriend wouldn't like that."
Everyone at the table, except for Chi Jia, was stunned into silence.
Chi Jia was very satisfied with Jing Rui's answer, because as she said those words, she had been secretly holding Chi Jia's hand…
