Forbidden To Be Tempted

Cheng Suran has a hard time refusing others. It is even more difficult for her if they are especially good-looking and polite. She would rather make herself uncomfortable than say no.

But today she didn't want to give in.

She looked at Jiang Yu, and turned her gaze back to Bai Lu's face, building up her courage. At that moment, Jiang Yu said, "It doesn't matter where you sit, you will be there in two hours."

After speaking, she had to withdraw her arm.

Cheng Suran was overjoyed, but before the smile could bloom,her joy was abruptly extinguished.

"We haven't seen each other for many days, it's good to talk on the way." Bai Lu insisted, holding her hand tightly and looking at her inquiringly.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, then said to Cheng Suran, "Go and sit in the back."

"..."

Cheng Suran pursed her lips tightly and did not move. She wanted to fight again, but Bai Lu took the lead again: "Little sister, go up quickly, we are about to set off."

She can only compromise.

She lowered her eyes, got into the car silently, and sat down next to Tian Lin in the back row.

Tian Lin who witnessed everything: "..."

There were exactly two seats in the middle, Bai Lu asked Jiang Yu to get into the car first, and took the seat on the left, in front of Tian Lin, and she came up later, and took the seat on the right, in front of Cheng Suran.

Cheng Suran watched Jiang Yu sit diagonally in front of her...

The door closed, and the car starts slowly.

Today is the 4th, the flow of people on the street is a little less than the previous two days, and the road is not congested anymore. Three cars lined up and drove smoothly. Bai Lu chatted with Jiang Yu.

"Qi Yan invited you here?" Jiang Yu turned her head and asked, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the kid looking at her.

Bai Lu tilted her head, thought for a while and said, "Mm, Qi Yan pulled people from department to department. It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days, so I come to have fun. I had a film to shoot today, but unfortunately, the photographer couldn't come. Something happened, and the shoot was rescheduled some other time."

"And..." She winked at Jiang Yu, making a fool of herself.

"Mm?"

"Of course I will also participate in the activities you participate in."

Jiang Yu thought it was something, and chuckled lightly: "So you're just clinging to me like that?"

"Who made Sister Yu, great master, great benefactor*, and a great idol?" Bai Lu raised her slender fingers and bent three of them, her smile revealing a hint of charm.

*term meant more like backer or supporter, not like like how it is for Ranran

"Also, I haven't thanked you enough for signing a contract with Yver last time."

After the big show that day, Jiang Yu took Bai Lu to dinner with the person in charge of the brand. They had a pleasant chat and successfully signed a three-year model provider contract. The other party also liked Bai Lu and signed a two-year contract with her.

The little fox was very happy and proud.

Jiang Yu looked at her with a loving smile like an old mother, "You are thanking me for your hard work."

After chatting for a few words, Bai Lu took out the photos on her phone and showed them to Jiang Yu, saying that they were her new model cards as well as some unreleased videos and animations.

"Here, these two sets of looks are made by myself, let's try a new style."

"Trying too much when your personal style is unstable is easy to get confused."

"Well, I know, it's just for taking photos in private... By the way, this is the C family's haute couture that you gave me, I never thought I could wear it like this, right? Hahaha."

"These two shows are separated by half a month. Your walking skill has improved quite quickly, but your shoulders and back are not strong enough. Look at this, your neck is shaking again..."

The two were discussing enthusiastically, the heads pressed against each other, the long straight black hair intertwined with slightly curly black hair.

The different shampoo scents blend wonderfully with each other.

Cheng Suran watched silently from behind, feeling very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but think of the scene she saw in the office that day.

——In front of the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, the two embraced each other intimately.

They kissed.

Maybe she's her sister's lover... There's also one called "Tongtong". It is impossible for the benefactor to have only one lover, she is just the most insignificant of many canaries.

Cheng Suran lowered her eyes and listened quietly to their conversation, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Huh?

Is this how the benefactor and her lover get along? Why does it sound more and more like a master-student relationship?

When it comes to professional things, Cheng Suran doesn't understand. There are a few English words that sound strange, such as "look". In their conversation, this word doesn't seem to have its original meaning.

As well as "sittings", "shoot", and "investment"—combined with the content of their speech, it can be guessed that they should be some jargons in the industry.

Cheng Suran took out her mobile phone and searched curiously.

"Look" refers to image and appearance, "sittings" refers to editors responsible for blockbuster shooting, "shoot" refers to fashion blockbusters, and "investment" refers to classic items.

It dawned on her, and she immediately wrote down these words in her memo, which might be useful in translating documents related to the fashion industry in the future.

While memorizing and listening to the two talk, a sudden sense of frustration arises from her heart.

When her sister mentioned work, her tone sounded unusually excited. If she could see her sister's face. She's sure there must be light shining in those eyes. But she doesn't understand these things, and she has no common topic with her sister, and the only thing they can talk about is the things around the pillow.

Cheng Suran sighed secretly, and clicked into Jiang Yu's Weibo.

The latest one is still the few seaside photos. She scrolled down and continued to search, from this year to the first Weibo nine years ago, from tens of thousands of likes to dozens of likes, unknowingly she fell into trance.

Tian Lin casually caught a glimpse, her gaze meaningful…

The resort is called "Qingshan Town*", located outside the outskirts of Jiangcheng, surrounded by green mountains and accompanied by green water, hence the name.

*qingshan means green mountain

The town covers a very large area. At the foot of the mountain is a cultural and commercial street full of bustling tourists. On the mountain is a VIP area with hot springs, horse farms, golf courses, etc. ordinary tourists are not allowed to enter.

Three cars parked in front of the hotel one after another.

Clear water flows on the large glass curtain wall, and green plants are planted on the periphery. The water flows down into the soil and merges into a stream, which flows along the stone road to the waterwheel, and the cycle goes back and forth.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came out to greet them, Qi Yan got out of the car and chatted with him, took everyone to the front desk to register, got their room cards, and handed out a brochure to each of them.

"Okay, you guys can team up freely for the room assignment. Everyone is free to move around. You can play casually on the mountain, down the mountain and in the back lake. We will gather back here at noon on the 7th."

Their group took the elevator one after another.

Cheng Suran held Jiang Yu's hand, and the moment they stepped into the elevator door side by side, Bai Lu came up behind her and grabbed Jiang Yu's arm, forcefully pushing her out. Just as the elevator door was about to close, she wedged her shoulder on the door with an unsteady stance, and the door retreated to both sides.

"Hey, I'm sorry, little sister, I didn't notice you..." Bai Lu looked at her awkwardly.

Cheng Suran clutched her shoulders, tears were about to come out from the pain, and just about to say it was okay, Jiang Yu stretched out her hand and pulled her in, the next second, the elevator doors closed again.

"Where were you hit?" Jiang Yu frowned, lowered her head slightly, and stretched her arms to hug her.

Cheng Suran shook her head and whispered: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Jiang Yu glanced at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu shrank her neck and lowered the brim of her hat.

When they reached the eighth floor, everyone dispersed. Jiang Yu naturally led Cheng Suran towards the room. Bai Lu followed her while looking around, holding her other arm.

"Sister Yu, shall we stay in one room?"

Cheng Suran's heart sank, and she held Jiang Yu's hand tightly.

"I'll stay with my sister." Jiang Yu shook her hand back, as if to comfort her, and then swiped the room card to open the door.

Bai Lu shook her arm and acted coquettishly: "Oh, sister Yu, I only talk to you with so many people, do you have the heart to see me alone Besides, we are all busy, we finally came out and play once, you and your little sister can often see each other, since you are a family, it won't hurt to be apart for a few days."

"..."

Jiang Yu stared in thought.

Sisterhood can deceive people, but it is also an invisible shackle. She knows Bai Lu relatively well, even if she refuses to share a room, she will probably come over to share a bed with her at night. Besides, Bai Lu is a good seedling she loves and values, representing her career.

Lovers are certainly not as important as careers.

"Sister——" Seeing her hesitating, Cheng Suran became a little anxious, but the rest of the words were interrupted before she could speak—Jiang Yu patted her hand and said with a smile: "Ranran, can you stay in a room with Tian Lin?  "

Ranran?

She looked up, her heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed with enthusiasm, "...okay."

Somehow she agreed.

Cheng Suran didn't feel regret until they went back to their rooms and tidied up their things. If she could react faster and persevere, wouldn't it be...

It won't work either.

In front of her sister, she always reacts a little slower, insisting that it is disobedient in her sister's eyes, and she dare not be disobedient. That time, she hoped that she was really a younger sister, so that she would not be obedient and be justified.

Looking at her sad and depressed face, Tian Lin's suspicion deepened.

No way, right?

Cheng Suran took out two bags of disposable four-piece bed sheets from her bag, raised her head, "Assistant Tian, ​​do you want to use disposable sheets?"

Peeking at Tian Lin who was almost caught: "..."

Before she could speak, Cheng Suran walked over with the bag in hand, and said while unpacking it, "It's better to use it, it's clean and hygienic. I brought several sets with me, let me change it for you first."

"Thank you, I'll do it myself." Tian Lin said politely, concealing her surprise quietly, she didn't dare to let the boss's little lover make her bed.

"It's okay," the girl winked at her with two small dimples on her cheeks, "I'll make the bed quickly."

Tian Lin: "..."

Cheng Suran removed the quilt and pillows, took out the disposable sheets, shook then spread them out, pulled the sides, and then put on the quilts and pillows. With quick hands and feet, the sheets were spread quickly and smoothly in two to three minutes.

"Okay, I'll help my sister lay one too." She went out with her bag.

When she came to the door of the next room, Cheng Suran held her breath and knocked. The door opened quickly. At that moment, she prayed that the person who opened the door was Jiang Yu.

Bai Lu's figure appeared in her sight.

"..."

"Little sister, what's the matter?" Bai Lu tilted her head and smiled at her, her narrow and seductive eyes were like a fox.

Cheng Suran was a little disappointed, and raised the things in her hands, "I'm here to deliver a disposable bed sheet to my sister..."

Bai Lu stared at her and remained silent for a while.

"?"

"Oh, well, give it to me."

Bai Lu stretched out her hand, Cheng Suran was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, raised her head and hesitated, looked past her and looked into the room.

It's a pity that this person is too tall, and the door is blocked tightly, she can't see anything.

She suddenly felt depressed, why is she only 1.65 meters tall?

"What's wrong?" Bai Lu blinked suspiciously.

Cheng Suran bit her lower lip, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "Thank you." She handed the bag to Bai Lu, then turned and left.

Dinner time.

Tian Lin sat on the swing on the balcony and flipped through the brochure, which roughly introduced the attractions in the resort, which was novel and unique. Suddenly, the door opened, and Cheng Suran came in silently. Without saying a word, she sat by the bed and fiddled with her mobile phone.

Within a few minutes, Tian Lin received a WeChat message from Jiang Yu: [Bai Lu and I went to eat first.]

Tsk.

Did she send this to her intentionally?

As a caring assistant who understands the boss well, Tian Lin immediately guessed Jiang Yu's subtext: I can't get away, take care of the kid for me.

Sigh--

She wants to laugh.

"Miss Cheng," Tian Lin put down the brochure and stood up, "Are you hungry? I'm going to eat now. I'll bring you what you want."

The girl raised her head, turned sideways, and paused for a few seconds before saying, "No need, let's go together."

How can she ask someone to buy food for her?

"I'll call sister next door." Cheng Suran stood up, her eyes sparkling.

Tian Lin said, "They already went out to eat."

"..."

They.

Cheng Suran's eyes dimmed, she nodded slightly, and squeezed out a sweet and sour smile, "Then let's go."

"Okay."

There is a garden buffet restaurant next to the hotel.The environment is fresh and elegant, with rich dishes and high-quality ingredients. Guests can dine for free by telling their room number.

There are a lot of people, tables in twos and threes, but it is not noisy. Everyone eats and talks in a low voice.

As soon as she entered the door, Cheng Suran saw familiar figures diagonally ahead, Jiang Yu and Bai Lu, sitting by the window facing each other, one was drinking lemonade, and the other was cutting something with a knife and fork.

"Miss Cheng?" Seeing her in a daze, Tian Lin followed her gaze.

Cheng Suran recovered, smiled, and said, "Let's find a seat first."

"Mm."

The two found a seat next to the chef's counter and sat down, each to get their favorite food. Cheng Suran didn't eat much in the morning, and she obviously felt a little hungry on the way, but she didn't have any appetite at the moment, and only took a few oysters, some fried rice cakes, and a bowl of three mushroom soup.

Tian Lin didn't take a lot, fearing that it would be wasted if she couldn't finish it.

The angle of their seat can see the window, Cheng Suran eats quietly, without saying a word, and sometimes glances at Jiang Yu from a distance - her plate seems to be salmon, and there are some vegetarian dishes.

Taking two bites, saying a few words, smiling and looking happy.

"Xiao Ranran* -" someone called her.

*Little Ranran

Qi Yan led Lu Zhiqiao and walked towards her, stopped in front of her desk, and glanced back and forth between her and Tian Lin, "Why are there only two of you? Where's Jiang Yu?"

Tian Lin looked towards the window.

Cheng Suran was startled, and pointed to the place by the window, "They're over there."

Qi Yan looked over.

"Tsk—" She said to herself with a disgusted expression on her face, "This scum leaving love everywhere."

And that Bai Lu

Tsk tsk tsk.

No one in the company knew that she liked to cling to Jiang Yu. This time, if it wasn't for the sake of getting the target headcount, she wouldn't have included Bai Lu. She helped with her photoshoot before, and this Miss Bai was particularly all over the place, so she didn't have a good impression.

She really wants to tell Xiao Ranran not to waste time with the scumbag.

Qi Yan realized that she had done something bad indirectly, sighed secretly, and put the plate next to Cheng Suran, "Xiao Ranran, do you mind our family sitting here?" After finishing speaking, she looked at Tian Lin again.

Tian Lin expressed her willingness.

"No, sit wherever you want." Cheng Suran shook her head repeatedly.

Turning her gaze, she saw Lu Zhiqiao.

"Lu… Boss Lu..."

"We are very destined." Lu Zhiqiao sat down, winked at her, and smiled like a spring breeze.

Cheng Suran forced herself to smile, "Yes."

"Let me introduce you to my girlfriend Lu Zhiqiao, and this is my daughter Lu Wei." Qi Yan enthusiastically introduced them one by one.

"Xiao Ranran is my favorite print model this year."

Lu Wei nodded obediently, "Hello, sister Xiaoran."

The atmosphere at the table became lively, they chatted while eating, Qi Yan was very excited today for some reason, like a chatterbox, analyzing the importance of really getting to know people, and sharing her experience of helping friends get rid of scums.

She couldn't be stopped even if Lu Zhiqiao stuff her mouth with barbecue.

 Cheng Suran listened with amazement.

Before she knew it, Jiang Yu's table was empty, and when she went to look again, there were already unfamiliar faces.

….

After eating and walking out of the restaurant, Cheng Suran plucked up the courage to call Lu Zhiqiao to the side.

"Boss Lu, I'm sorry. I lied to the company when I joined and I lied to you later on. I didn't do it on purpose..." She apologized sincerely, and then told the whole story.

Lu Zhiqiao just smiled after hearing this, the black tear mole at the end of her eyes looked gentle and pleasant.  She patted the girl on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, Xiao Cheng, this is not a serious matter. Your ability is enough for me to ignore it. I'll just pretend I never knew about it. After you graduate, if you still want to come work in Xinbei, you can contact me anytime.”

"...Thank you Boss Lu," Cheng Suran bowed to her, with two sweet pear dimples blooming on her cheeks, "I hope you and Sister Yanyan will grow old forever."

"You and Jiang Yu too." Lu Zhiqiao nodded with a smile.

Her little pear dimples stiffened for a moment.

"Qiao Qiao, are you guys done?—" Qi Yan urged.

The family of three rushed to take the hot air balloon, Cheng Suran said goodbye to them, and went upstairs with Tian Lin. When she reached the door, she turned her head to look at the next room, couldn't help walking over, and knocked on the door.

Once, twice, three times.

No one opened it.

They must be outside playing 

She thought silently, then turned and went back to her room.

Tian Lin received another message from Jiang Yu: [Going back very late.]

—Continue to take care of the kid.

She pursed her lips and smiled, and replied "OK", when she looked up, she saw Cheng Suran coming in late, thought for a while, picked up the brochure and said, "Miss Cheng, shall we go sightseeing by helicopter this afternoon?"

Cheng Suran stopped, shook her head and said, "I want to walk alone."

As she spoke, she took out a small satchel from the big backpack, put her mobile phone and tissues in it, and carried it on her back.

"I'll accompany you." Tian Lin stood up.

Cheng Suran froze, "Assistant Tian..."

"Mm?"

"Actually, you don't have to take care of me for my sister. I'm already an adult, and I'm fine by myself. Besides, everyone is out to have fun. Having no burden in your heart is what makes you have fun."

Ah this.

The kid is very smart.

Tian Lin remained silent.

"I really want to be alone," Cheng Suran smiled wryly, and then gave her a relieved look, "It's nearby, I'll go back when I'm tired, you can go play too, come out for a while, don't waste your vacation.  "

Tian Lin hesitated for a moment, seeing that her eyes were stained with some deep meaning, she nodded, "Okay."

….

The night is getting darker and the lights are loud and bright.

It was half past nine.

"I'm so exhausted, I feel like my bones are about to fall apart..." The elevator door opened, and Bai Lu stumbled out with Jiang Yu on her arm, snuggling on her shoulder as if she had no bones.

Jiang Yu slowed down her pace and straightened her back. Hearing this, she sneered and joked, "You still insisted to ride a horse when you are not physically strong. Now, you look like this. Don't even think about going anywhere tomorrow."

"No, I'm going to ride a hot air balloon."

"Get someone to lift you up."

The tall shadows of the two were elongated by the lights in the corridor.

Arriving at the room, opening the door, Bai Lu let go of Jiang Yu, and couldn't wait to rush to her bed, completely paralyzed on it.

"I'll take a shower first." Jiang Yu entered the bathroom with her pajamas in her arms.

Bai Lu snorted.

 ——tok tok tok

There was a knock on the door.

Before Jiang Yu could close the bathroom door, she went out again, came to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Sister Yu, it's me." It was Tian Lin's voice.

She opens the door.

"What's wrong?"

"Is Miss Cheng with you?" Tian Lin looked into the room.

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and said, "No, Bai Lu and I just came back." After she finished speaking, she paused, "Is she not in your room?"

Tian Lin shook her head, "She said in the afternoon that she wanted to go for a walk alone, so I went shopping in the commercial street at the foot of the mountain. When I came back just now, I found that my phone was out of battery and Ms. Cheng wasn't there. I thought she was with you."

"You mean she hasn't come back yet?" Jiang Yu frowned.

Tian Lin hummed lightly, "I'll call her now." She turned and went back to the next door.

Jiang Yu followed.

The phone is now fully charged and turned on. Tian Lin quickly opened the address book, found Cheng Suran's number, dialed it, and heard a voice prompt after a few seconds.

"Not in the coverage area?"
