Purely Accidental - Chapter 19
Chapter 19
After returning to Jiang City, Pei Youshan didn't go to Junjiang Hotel Group, instead heading straight home to rest.
The exertions from yesterday had left her waist still slightly sore, so she decided to take it easy at home.
In the blink of an eye, midsummer had arrived. The golden sun had turned scorching hot, licking at the skin like flames, leaving behind a thin layer of perspiration.
The entire Jiang City felt like a giant steamer, with everyone trapped inside enduring the sweltering heat.
Pei Youshan gathered her shoulder-length curly hair into a ponytail, grabbed her loungewear, and headed to the bathroom for a refreshing shower.
As she passed the bathroom mirror, she paused involuntarily, looking at her reflection with her hair tied up.
Just like yesterday.
Gently pulling aside her collar, the marks from yesterday's entanglement were clearly visible on her chest, standing out against her snow-white skin like red plum blossoms in snow—conspicuous and eye-catching.
Her cheeks flushed slightly as she adjusted her collar, feeling a bit embarrassed by her own lack of composure.
As a sugar mommy, she had been the one getting "taken care of" by her kept lover.
—Getting paid and still getting to sleep with the sugar mommy? Who wouldn't praise such a generous benefactor as a bodhisattva?
Yet she couldn't deny that the experience had been... unforgettable.
And then there was her little lover's figure.
That slender, delicate waist, those long, straight legs, those alluring curves...
But what haunted her most was the way Xu Jingshu had looked at her while calling her "Miss Yue"—like a thousand-year-old fox spirit, bewitching her into willingly surrendering, melting together into the night.
Covering her face in embarrassment, she then lightly patted her cheeks.
Pei Youshan, this won't do. You need to stand tall and reclaim your dignity!
A sugar mommy should act like a sugar mommy!
When she comes back, you're going to be the one doing the "taking care of"!
Yes, you're going to take charge!
...
The cool shower washed away the summer heat clinging to her skin, leaving her refreshed and comfortable.
Pei Youshan flopped onto her bed contentedly, only to sit back up to trim her nails.
Just then, Pei Lanqing called.
"I heard you're back in Jiang City. Did you finish everything you needed to do?"
Pei Youshan lazily replied, "Mhm."
Pei Lanqing: "Why not stay in Jin City a few more days to relax?"
Pei Youshan: "..."
As if I could—do you want me to lose my secret identity?
Her expression was guilty, but her tone betrayed nothing: "What's so fun about it anyway? There's still so much work waiting at the company..."
Unable to see her face, Pei Lanqing took her words at face value and said approvingly, "Our President Pei is so diligent—I'm touched."
Pei Youshan couldn't resist grumbling: "If you're really touched, next time finish all your work before going on vacation instead of dumping everything on me. I'm so busy I'm about to split apart."
During this business trip to Jin City, she had nearly exposed her secret identity in front of her little lover and died on the spot!
She sincerely hoped this wouldn't happen again.
Pei Lanqing laughed on the other end: "It's good to network more—it'll help when you officially take over Junjiang."
"Bear with it. Your mother went through the same thing back in the day."
Pei Youshan muttered under her breath: "Grandpa wasn't as vacation-obsessed as you..."
Though quiet, Pei Lanqing heard her clearly and chuckled even more: "Our President Pei has worked hard. I'll return as soon as possible. Talk later."
Pei Youshan had heard "I'll return as soon as possible" eight hundred times already and stopped taking it seriously long ago.
Hanging up routinely, she lay back down.
Being Pei Lanqing's daughter wasn't a role just anyone could handle.
......
Xu Jingshu's business trip unexpectedly extended by several days.
During this time, aside from work, Pei Youshan went out with Lin Feifei and others, unexpectedly meeting many attractive men and women.
Including Xue Yingyue, owner of "Kitchen Color."
"Kitchen Color" was near Sanwei Bookstore, so Pei Youshan would often stop by for meals after reading.
It also happened to be the restaurant Lin Feifei had been wanting to recommend, so she frequently dragged Pei Youshan there.
After several visits, Pei Youshan became quite familiar with Xue Yingyue.
Like Xu Jingshu, Xue Yingyue politely addressed her as "Miss Yue."
Today, Pei Youshan came alone again after visiting the bookstore.
Xue Yingyue placed a plate of small tangerines before her, speaking softly as always: "These days, you've either come with friends or alone. Why haven't I seen your girlfriend?"
"Did you two argue?"
Pei Youshan peeled a tangerine, puzzled: "Girlfriend?"
What girlfriend?
Did I somehow acquire one in my dreams?
Xue Yingyue refilled her tea, her tone gentle: "Wasn't the lady who accompanied you the first time your girlfriend?"
She distinctly remembered them leaving hand in hand, intimately close.
Pei Youshan froze momentarily before laughing openly: "Of course not."
Leaving aside whether she could ever develop feelings for her little lover, just looking at that composed, rational demeanor made it clear—how could someone in a transactional relationship ever develop genuine affection?
So the idea of them being girlfriends was utterly ridiculous.
She ate a tangerine segment, the burst of juice on her tongue prompting a casual compliment: "These tangerines are really sweet today!"
Seeing her denial, Xue Yingyue tactfully changed the subject, her gaze warm: "I'm glad you like them. Should I bring you another plate?"
Pei Youshan waved her hands: "No need, I need to save room for your chef's dishes."
Xue Yingyue smiled: "Perfect timing—I recently created a new dish. If you don't mind, would you taste it and give me some feedback?"
Pei Youshan agreed readily: "Sure, but same as usual."
Xue Yingyue continued: "No cilantro or scallions—don't worry, I remember."
Pei Youshan smiled.
After Xue Yingyue left, she turned to gaze at the gentle night outside the window.
Come to think of it, it had been several days since she last saw her little lover...
She kind of missed that face.
......
After dinner, Pei Youshan returned alone to Biyun Garden.
Upon opening her door, she was startled to find the house brightly lit, as if someone had arrived before her.
She stood at the doorway, frowning, not immediately entering.
Biyun Garden had excellent security, but nothing was foolproof—what if a thief had slipped in?
And what if it was an especially brazen thief who turned on all the lights during the act?
Deciding to assess the situation before calling the police, she remembered the baseball bat under the shoe cabinet for self-defense.
Quietly stepping inside, she opened the cabinet and pulled out the long-unused bat.
If some thief dared target her, she'd swing hard enough to make them see stars!
Standing up, she prepared to cautiously scout the living room—only to look up and suddenly meet a familiar face.
Xu Jingshu stood in pajamas, silently observing her sugar mommy sneaking around her own home like a burglar.
A moment later.
"Miss Yue."
"What exactly are you planning to do with that baseball bat at this hour?"
Pei Youshan: "..."
The embarrassment etched into her DNA activated again, her scalp already tingling.
—Ughhh, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?!
She forced a laugh as she stuffed the bat back: "Nothing important—just remembered I hadn't maintained it in a while and wanted to check if it needed care."
"And?" Xu Jingshu asked. "Does it need maintenance?"
Pei Youshan closed the cabinet: "A little. I'll send it for servicing tomorrow."
Xu Jingshu nodded, though her gaze never left Pei Youshan for a second.
After closing the front door, Pei Youshan entered properly, calmly changing the subject: "When did you get back? Why didn't you tell me?"
"An hour ago."
Xu Jingshu approached, her hands naturally encircling Pei Youshan's waist as she pulled her into an embrace.
"I wanted to surprise Miss Yue."
Pei Youshan: "..."
You wanted to surprise me, but I nearly gave you a concussion.
...How shameful.
Still, she was happy her little lover had thought to surprise her.
Cupping Xu Jingshu's face, she kissed her twice, beaming: "Consider me surprised. Welcome back—you must be tired from work. Go rest in your room; I'm going to shower."
Xu Jingshu raised an eyebrow and agreed.
But when Pei Youshan emerged in her nightgown, she unexpectedly found Xu Jingshu still in the living room: "What's wrong, Xu Ge? Why aren't you resting?"
Xu Jingshu set down her phone, looking at her calmly: "Waiting for Miss Yue."
Pei Youshan: "?"
"Waiting for me why?"
Xu Jingshu studied her silently before suddenly approaching, gently brushing away a water droplet from her hair, her words frank.
"I want Miss Yue."
"Like last time."
Memories of that night's passion flooded Pei Youshan's mind, turning her face crimson in under a second.
And Xu Jingshu kept staring at her, leaving her nowhere to hide.
She averted her shy gaze: "...Aren't you tired after just returning?"
Xu Jingshu said seriously: "Not at all."
Pei Youshan glanced at her again—no trace of fatigue, only unmistakable eagerness. Clearly telling the truth.
When she didn't respond, Xu Jingshu kissed her lips, then her brow, her voice tender: "Alright?"
Pei Youshan said: "Alright, but..."
Then, blushing, she made her demand: "This time, I'm taking charge."
Xu Jingshu: "Hmm?"
Pei Youshan avoided her heated gaze, declaring righteously: "A sugar mommy sleeping with her lover is only natural!"
She hadn't been idle these past few days—she'd diligently studied up on sugar mommy theory.
Though unsure of her skills, practice makes perfect. She needed to gather courage and boldly reclaim her dignity!
Xu Jingshu initially wanted to refuse—she only wanted to "take care of" her sugar mommy, not be "taken care of."
But seeing that shy expression somehow softened her heart, and she found herself agreeing.
"Alright. Whatever Miss Yue says."
......
The cool air indoors wrapped soundlessly around them.
Pei Youshan's movements were clumsy yet careful. When she lightly brushed sensitive areas, Xu Jingshu remained silent—but Pei Youshan's face flushed first.
Xu Jingshu watched her lovely face with amusement, unable to resist teasing.
"Does Miss Yue know what she's doing?"
Pei Youshan's cheeks turned peony-pink as she stubbornly insisted: "O-Of course I do!"
She'd spent days studying theory, after all!
Xu Jingshu waited patiently, but those featherlight touches kept stirring strange, thrilling sensations within her.
Gradually growing impatient, she finally grasped Pei Youshan's slender wrist.
Pei Youshan looked up with watery eyes, confused.
"Does it feel bad?"
"Am I doing it wrong?"
Xu Jingshu shook her head, embracing her as their necks intertwined, her warm breath tickling Pei Youshan's ear with urgency.
"Let me teach you."
Guiding her wrist slightly upward.
"Here."
Pei Youshan froze—shame blossoming anew as realization struck.
—Her bronze-level skills pretending to be legendary had been exposed!
She stared at Xu Jingshu in shy astonishment, yet found no mockery in those passion-clouded eyes.
She was stunned; Xu Jingshu didn't care.
Tucking aside the hair obscuring Pei Youshan's ear, Xu Jingshu's long fingers lightly traced her earlobe.
"Miss Yue, I know this is your first time keeping a lover."
"I realized back in Jin City."
Pei Youshan was dumbfounded, forgetting to move as she asked blankly: "Then why didn't you call me out?"
Xu Jingshu lowered her gaze, keeping her tone even: "No need."
Pei Youshan blinked: "You... didn't want to laugh at me?"
Even she found herself ridiculous.
Both were beginners, yet she'd stubbornly pretended to be experienced—only to have her disguise torn off without realizing!
Xu Jingshu suddenly smiled, her fox-like eyes curving enchantingly: "No."
"Because Miss Yue is adorable."
To her, Pei Youshan was like a sweet, harmless ragdoll cat—nothing she did or said could change how endearing she was.
Who could bear to mock or scold someone like that?
Pei Youshan turned even shyer, as if unable to handle such praise, hurriedly silencing her with a kiss.
Xu Jingshu tangled fingers in her hair, deepening the kiss until their breaths tangled.
When they finally parted, Pei Youshan's eyes shimmered with lingering affection.
Xu Jingshu lightly nipped her earlobe, her voice melting Pei Youshan's bones.
"Miss Yue, it's time to move."
...
That night, Pei Youshan discovered a new side to her little lover.
Gone was her usual composure, replaced by tender desire.
Her voice grew even more intoxicating than usual, ensnaring Pei Youshan completely in her honeyed trap.
The only constant was her unhurried, methodical approach.
Pei Youshan admired this—she could never remain calm while teaching someone how to pleasure her.
In her case, her face would burn with embarrassment first, leaving her tongue-tied.
Regardless, tonight she'd finally taken charge!
She'd grown! She was no longer a bodhisattva!
What a wonderful night!
Proudly sitting up from the blankets, she prepared to return to her own room—only for Xu Jingshu to seize her wrist, refusing to let go.
Pei Youshan turned back in confusion to see the smooth sheets slipping away, revealing the scattered "plum blossoms" on Xu Jingshu's snow-white waist.
"Miss Yue."
Xu Jingshu drew closer, smiling faintly.
"Sleepy?"
Pei Youshan's heartbeat quickened as the distance between them shrank.
"Not really... why?"
Without another word, Xu Jingshu pinned her down, fingers interlacing with hers as their gazes locked intensely.
"I want Miss Yue to feel good too."
"After all, you didn't pay me just to lie back and enjoy myself."
Pei Youshan: "!"
Why did it feel like her little lover had returned from her business trip even more insatiable?!
Xu Jingshu gazed at her, her tone suddenly tinged with pitifulness: "Does Miss Yue not want me to?"
Pei Youshan couldn't resist this look, quickly assuring: "No, no!"
Xu Jingshu smiled, lifting her nightgown.
"Then I won't hold back."
...
After unlocking the door to nighttime pleasures, Xu Jingshu's interest in gaming plummeted while her interest in her sugar mommy skyrocketed—dedicated to ensuring her benefactor's satisfaction with professional pride.
Pei Youshan's nights became consistently eventful, witnessing firsthand her little lover's rapidly improving skills.
She briefly wondered if Xu Jingshu had taken secret classes, before resigning herself to learning from her.
Since her fake "legendary" disguise had been exposed, she might as well openly study under her.
Xu Jingshu found her adorable, happily teaching her while enjoying her blushing reactions.
Thus, they achieved perfect harmony in their nocturnal activities.
Beautiful and educational—Pei Youshan felt this arrangement was worth every penny!
Even Lin Feifei and Xue Yingyue noticed her unusually cheerful mood lately.
......
Since moving in with Pei Youshan, Xu Jingshu had barely returned to her own home.
When Xu Jingying came to crash again, she unexpectedly found the place empty.
Assuming her sister was out shopping like last time, she called about late-night snacks.
Only to be met with heartless rejection: "Order takeout if you're hungry."
"I haven't been staying there recently."
Xu Jingying was baffled: "Then where are you staying? Isn't your place closer to Blue Ocean?"
Standing on the balcony, Xu Jingshu glanced at Pei Youshan engrossed in TV before replying coolly: "None of your business. Focus on your exams."
Xu Jingying's gossip radar pinged: "Oh? Keeping secrets? Are you... living with a girlfriend~?"
Then she heard Xu Jingshu's chilling chuckle as she enunciated: "Xu. Jing. Ying."
Instantly, her curiosity withered under decades of conditioned fear.
Since childhood, Xu Jingshu had been the one person she dared not provoke.
She knew her sister—outwardly refined and aloof, but with endlessly creative methods of retaliation that no offender escaped.
Hearing her full name invoked was like having the Golden Headband tightened—instant obedience.
"Fine, fine, your reaction says it's not that."
Her tone grew theatrically mournful.
"I'll stay alone then... I'll be perfectly fine by myself..."
Xu Jingshu: "..."
"Why didn't you go to drama school again?"
Xu Jingying: "Eh, just not my calling!"
"Oh right—thanks for getting me Mirror Inquires Autumn's autographed copy! Love you~ I'll study hard!"
"And thank An Youda for me too!"
Xu Jingshu deadpanned: "That's the fourth time you've thanked me."
Xu Jingying's mental abacus clattered: "The more I thank you, the more likely you'll remember to get me another one next time, hehe."
Ignoring this, Xu Jingshu told her to sleep early and hung up, returning inside.
Pei Youshan hugged a pillow on the sofa, absorbed in TV, barely noticing her until finally looking over: "Oh, done with your call?"
Xu Jingshu picked up her long-neglected tablet: "Mn."
Yawning, Pei Youshan stretched before bending to kiss her: "Then rest early—don't you have work tomorrow?"
Xu Jingshu pulled her into a deeper kiss.
"Goodnight, Miss Yue."
Pei Youshan felt thoroughly satisfied.
Even after all this time, she never tired of hearing "Miss Yue."
......
Today, Xu Jingshu left work punctually at 5 PM.
Whenever this happened, Pei Youshan would leave half an hour earlier to maintain her cover.
Today, she invited Xu Jingshu to Xue Yingyue's "Kitchen Color," enthusiastically recommending their new dishes from their plush booth like an unofficial promoter.
Given the owner's beauty and food quality, Xu Jingshu understood the enthusiasm.
Noticing Pei Youshan had brought Xu Jingshu again, Xue Yingyue approached calmly: "Miss Yue, the usual order?"
Pei Youshan nodded: "Plus two new dishes."
Xue Yingyue poured tea: "Of course. Please wait a moment."
Only then did Xu Jingshu realize how close they'd become.
Not that she cared—with Pei Youshan's personality and looks, she could befriend anyone.
As a professional kept woman, she was only interested in her sugar mommy's money and body—her personal life wasn't Xu Jingshu's concern.
Just as Pei Youshan never pried into hers.
After dinner, they returned to Biyun Garden, changing into slippers while chatting idly.
Somehow, the topic circled back to Xue Yingyue.
Pei Youshan said: "Everything at Kitchen Color is delicious. If you go with friends, put it on my tab."
Xu Jingshu nodded indifferently before casually asking: "When did Miss Yue meet Owner Xue?"
Pei Youshan answered guilelessly: "While you were away on your business trip."
Then paused, wrapping her arms around Xu Jingshu's waist to kiss her twice and pat her head: "Don't worry, I don't have those kinds of feelings for her. I won't take a second lover—you're enough."
Since that night in Jin City, she'd remembered Xu Jingshu's jealousy over multiple lovers. She didn't mind reassuring her.
After all, Xu Jingshu was not only her ideal type in looks but also exceptionally skilled at "servicing" her.
Call it exclusive favoritism.
Xu Jingshu hadn't intended to ask, but since Pei Youshan volunteered, it set her mind at ease.
Currently, she was quite satisfied with this arrangement and didn't want anyone disrupting it.
She stroked Pei Youshan's hair gently: "Good."
Then pulled her closer.
Just as their lips were about to meet, a "ding-dong" rudely interrupted.
Sighing, Pei Youshan checked the door monitor to see who could be so tactless—only to gasp sharply upon recognizing the visitor.
Whirling around, she urgently pushed Xu Jingshu toward the bedroom.
"Xu Ge, hide and don't come out until I say so. Be good."
Though confused by the panic, Xu Jingshu obediently complied.
Pei Youshan hastily stuffed Xu Jingshu's bag into the closet before smoothing her clothes and opening the door with forced calm.
Xu Jingshu lingered by the doorway, faintly hearing movement as Pei Youshan and the guest entered the living room.
Peering out, her line of sight reached the sofa—where a woman sat.
Recognizing the face, her eyebrows rose slightly in surprise.
Because she'd seen this woman before.
Her mother's longtime rival.
—Pei Lanqing.
