Quick Transmigration: Yandere Male Leads? Hand 'Em Over! - Chapter 222

The dampness of the rainy night seeped through the window, spreading across the messy bedding, muddy carpet, and soft sofa, leaving behind marks that were hard to define.

The man’s breath was scorching, like steam rising from boiling water, searing Su Ci’s sensitive skin.

Tempting her. Consuming her. A wild, chaotic night.

…

When Su Ci woke up, Jiang Yu’s fever had broken. He was holding her tightly, his arm wrapped firm around her waist. Scratches and bite marks still lingered faintly on his skin.

Images from last night flashed through her mind—

Far beyond what she’d expected or imagined.

The man, who usually seemed elegant and restrained, had never been so dangerously seductive.

Whispering “Mommy” even as he took her.

He was good at coaxing—and didn’t know when to stop.

Su Ci’s cheeks were still warm. Her throat was dry and parched. She desperately needed a glass of cold water to cool down.

“You wicked boy. Up so early?”

Jiang Yu sat up, pulling her with him, one arm wrapped firmly around her waist. He poured a cup of warm water from the thermos by the bed and held it gently to her lips.

Su Ci drank most of it, the heat inside her finally subsiding a little. She couldn’t bear to look directly at the mess he’d made.

Worse than that night in the hotel.

Somehow, he’d even found the whip and chains she’d once ordered as a joke.

The faint red marks blooming across her pale skin held a kind of brutal sensuality—fragile and provocative.

“Mm. Gotta get up early to earn money for the family.”

Given Jiang Yu’s stellar performance the night before, Su Ci picked up her fully charged phone and transferred ten million yuan to his account. She also ordered him breakfast delivery.

“I’ve got a magazine cover shoot today. You rest at home, stay cozy in bed, and wait for me to come back, okay?”

The message notification chimed. Jiang Yu glanced at the transfer amount, his brows arching in amusement.

“Such a generous sugar mommy? Looks like you were very satisfied last night.”

He acted like a spoiled pet who’d just been fed a treat—already excited first thing in the morning, nuzzling and kissing her all over again.

“Mmm… Gold-tier sugar mommy means fast money.”

Su Ci pushed away his wandering head and spoke a little more seriously.

“You need to take it easy for a while. All your rivals are kicking you while you’re down. Just stay home and relax. Think about your next steps. When the storm passes, I’ll back you in making a comeback.”

Between Su Ci’s savings and the money Jiang Yu had transferred to her before, they had a pretty decent amount of startup capital now.

But Jiang Yu clearly wasn’t thinking about business.

His gaze fell on her flushed lips, slightly parted. Her white teeth gleamed, her tongue was soft and pink, and even her voice was laced with concern—it all made her even more irresistible.

That little mouth just wouldn’t stop.

He wanted to kiss it.

And so he did.

After all, right now, he was nothing but a spoiled, pampered canary.

After a lingering good-morning kiss, Jiang Yu reluctantly watched her leave.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to follow her to the shoot—he simply had too much to deal with. He needed to clean everything up before Su Ci noticed anything was off. Only then could he truly relax and enjoy being kept.

…

The trending topic about Jiang Yu being a fake heir had already been taken down.

After the magazine shoot, Su Ci headed to the film base to attend the launch ceremony for Director Ma’s sci-fi movie.

As luck would have it, several familiar faces from past productions were there—Yan Mo, Tian Zi, and a few other actors she recognized.

There were no secrets in the entertainment industry. Once word got out that Su Ci’s sugar daddy had fallen from power, everyone reacted differently. Yan Mo was secretly gloating, while the rest looked worried and approached her to comfort her.

“Hey, breakups happen. The next one might be even better! There are plenty of handsome, rich investors out there!”

“Su Su, don’t be too sad. With your status and talent, even without Jiang Zong, good scripts will still come knocking at your door.”

“I’m a little worried… what if the real young master the Jiang family found tries to sabotage you behind the scenes?”

“Su Su, are you still in contact with Jiang Yu?”

The questions came one after another. Su Ci answered only the most important one.

“Jiang Yu and I aren’t cutting ties. He’s always treated me well. It’s my turn to take care of him now.”

Somehow, that line ended up online.

And the trending topic exploded again:

#Su Ci slept her way to the top. Her sugar daddy was a fake. Top-tier star falls from grace#

Both fans and onlookers went into an uproar.

So it was true—Su Ci and Jiang Zong were really in that kind of relationship?

Fans of Jiang Yu felt utterly betrayed.

【Unbelievable. We thought you were our loyal site admin, but you were secretly keeping Su Ci all along! You have no heart!】

【Who cares if he’s fake? He was a sugar daddy! Do these idiots not realize how many of us Nuomici fans would love to throw money just to get close to Su Ci?】

【Why is it always the casting couch? Are there no actors in this industry who rely on actual skill anymore?】

【Whoever’s smearing Su Ci is going down. How is she not talented? So what if she’s got skills and a rich boyfriend? Jealous much? Suck it up!】

【Pfft. “Boyfriend”? Please. If Jiang Yu hadn’t been exposed as a fraud, would they ever have admitted it? It was all just a fling—they played you all.】

【Seriously? It’s their private life. They didn’t cheat or lie. Two people chasing each other—how is that not a relationship? What, do they need to announce it with a megaphone?】

【Jiang Yu’s probably grinning somewhere in hiding. Su Ci’s so loyal—still sticking with him even when he’s down.】

【They’re adorable together. Whoever leaked that gossip must be so twisted inside—probably one of those people who’d stab their sugar daddy in the back the moment something goes wrong.】

【Jiang Zong really did protect Su Ci. Back when he had power, not a single negative rumor about her ever got out.】

That last commenter was just about to post something else when—poof—the trending topic vanished again.

Again? It got pulled again?

But Jiang Zong had already been kicked out of Jiang Group… so who had the power to wipe the trending tags this time?

The deletion was so fast that even Su Ci didn’t realize she’d briefly made it onto the hot list.

She finished work and rushed home to reassure her ailing patient. On the way, she picked up a swan-shaped cake and a bouquet of roses.

Jiang Yu was in the kitchen, cooking.

He had his phone wedged between his ear and shoulder, holding a conversation while slicing potatoes.

“Mom and Dad want to know—when are you coming back to the company?”

Jiang Yu replied lazily without even looking up.

“Which Mom and Dad are you talking about?”

The person on the other end paused. “Both.”

The soup in the pot was bubbling away. Jiang Yu tasted it with a spoon before replying casually,

“Not your problem. I’m busy chasing my wife.”

Pei Jibai: “…You’re impossible.”

“Not at all. I’m just a regular guy who wants to warm his wife’s bed. Being childless is a grave offense, after all. Since you’re single, President Pei, it’s only natural you contribute more at the company.”

He dried his hands, took the phone down, and added,

“Unless there’s something else, I’m hanging up. Keep an eye on the trending topics. Don’t let anyone mess with your sister-in-law.”

“I’m working on—”

Click.

Pei Jibai was left listening to the dial tone, stunned for several seconds before frowning in frustration.

“That’s… not what ‘being childless is a grave offense’ means.”

“Whatever. No point arguing with someone whose brain’s melted from love.”
