Chapter 69 This advantage is entirely in my hands!
Meanwhile, Jessica drove back to the villa, but didn't get out of the car for a long time.
She sat in the car, staring blankly at the house in front of her.
The image of Kim Tae-yeon's somewhat haggard face slowly surfaced in my mind, followed by that fleeting glimpse of my phone's screen saver.
Kim Tae-yeon, the person you want to see is actually right here, only a few kilometers away from you.
However, there was a thirteen-year gap in time.
After seeing that photo, Jessica had a fleeting impulse to call Chen Ran using her own phone.
He even brought Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah back so they could meet Chen Ran, whom he hadn't seen in 12 years.
But in the end, she suppressed the impulse.
Putting everything else aside, she should at least come back and ask Chen Ran for his opinion first.
If Kim Tae-yeon hears Chen Ran's voice or sees Chen Ran, she will definitely lose control.
Moreover, she understood what bringing Kim Tae-yeon back meant.
Now that they've been brought back, there's a high chance they can't be driven away.
That feeling of losing something and then regaining it will make Kim Tae-yeon cling to Chen Ran, whom she has known for 12 years.
But then again, why should she give up Chen Ran?
She was the one who met Chen Ran, whom she had known for 12 years, first.
She was the one who arrived first.
Why did Kim Tae-yeon end up getting the benefit in the end?
Is she going to lose to Kim Tae-yeon again this time?
Jessica gently bit her lip with her pearly teeth.
No, absolutely not!
She absolutely had to beat Kim Tae-yeon at least once.
Not only will she, born in 2025, beat Kim Tae-yeon once, but Jessica Jung, born in 2012, will also beat Kim Tae-yeon once.
When Jessica Jung was leaving during the day, she said something to her.
"If you want to date Chen Ran, that's fine, but don't let that woman Kim Tae-yeon beat you to it."
The first half of the sentence is easy to understand, but why did she add the second half, "Don't let that woman Kim Tae-yeon beat you to it"?
It was because of her obsession with winning against Kim Tae-yeon.
If this house suddenly disappears one day, she will never have the chance to see Chen Ran again.
At least, Jessica Jung from 12 could still help her win over Chen Ran and beat Kim Tae-yeon from 12 once.
In fact, Jessica had this idea from the very first day the houses were merged.
When she learned that Chen Ran was the man Kim Tae-yeon liked, she quickly realized that if she slept with Chen Ran, whom she had known for 12 years, she would be cheating on Kim Tae-yeon in a way.
Then she thought, wouldn't it be even more interesting if Jessica Jung from 12 and Chen Ran from 12 dated each other and stole Kim Tae-yeon's heart?
Then, with this mischievous mindset, she subtly brought Chen Ran and Jessica Jung together more often.
She genuinely wanted Chen Ran's help to change the past, but she also had her own ulterior motives in arranging for Chen Ran to contact Jessica Jung.
But unexpectedly, she gradually fell in love with Chen Ran.
She also felt uncomfortable seeing Chen Ran interacting with Jessica Jung.
Previously, they had intended to let the two spend more time together, but now they feel like they've shot themselves in the foot.
But Jessica thought about it again and realized that if the house suddenly disappeared one day, Jessica Jung would still be useful.
If she can start dating Chen Ran in 12, then she will have achieved her goal of winning over Kim Tae-yeon.
In any case, no matter how you calculate it, she wins.
So, with Jessica in such a conflicted state of mind, things gradually developed into what they are now.
A moment later, a long sigh echoed from inside the car.
Jessica sorted out her somewhat chaotic thoughts, looked at the villa in front of her, and finally a look of determination flashed in her eyes.
No, she couldn't wait any longer.
Jessica reached for her phone, turned on the screen, and saw that the date was June 2nd.
Tomorrow is June 3rd, which means it will be one month since the houses were merged.
If nothing unusual happens by tomorrow, she won't wait any longer and will sleep with Chen Ran directly.
She'd already waited a month, and now with Jessica Jung in front and Taeyeon behind, she couldn't care less about anything else.
Even if the house suddenly disappears someday in the future, she will accept it.
Jessica has thought it all through.
After she wins over Chen Ran, she can find an opportunity to bring Kim Tae-yeon back, out of pity for that woman.
At that time, no matter what Kim Tae-yeon wanted to do, she could always keep the other woman in check.
I was the first, you came later.
You were able to see Chen Ran again thanks to me.
What makes you think you can compete with me?
Thinking of this, Jessica couldn't help but smile.
This advantage is entirely hers!
She can crush that woman Kim Tae-yeon!
Humming a cheerful melody, Jessica opened the villa's door and went inside.
Inside the house, Chen Ran was sitting in the living room watching TV.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "Looks like you enjoyed your dinner tonight."
"It's alright."
Jessica walked over and sat down next to Chen Ran, kicked off her slippers, put her legs on Chen Ran's lap, and lay down on the sofa.
Chen Ran glanced at those fair, slender yet voluptuous legs and readily placed his hand on them.
One of them was lying down playing on his phone, while the other was sitting, playing with his legs and watching TV. Neither of them spoke, yet the atmosphere was strangely harmonious.
"Oh, right."
Jessica suddenly remembered something: "How did your audition go today?"
"It went very smoothly. All the actors have finished their auditions, and the final cast will be confirmed tomorrow. Originally, it was supposed to be confirmed this afternoon, but Director Li Yingfu suddenly had some urgent business, so it was postponed to tomorrow."
Jessica nodded, then asked, "What if producer Kang still doesn't agree to Krystal playing the second female lead?"
Chen Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't just be the three of us coming tomorrow. High-ranking officials from the TV station and Representative Yin will also be there. I have enough reasons to convince the people at the TV station."
"Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of Soojung."
Chen Ran suddenly turned to look at her, blinked, and asked, "Is it just a verbal thank you?"
Jessica blinked, then moved her legs: "Isn't that enough?"
Chen Ran looked down at the legs and nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
"off"
Jessica scoffed, then smiled inwardly as she recalled her plans in the car and continued scrolling through her phone.
A moment later.
"Chen Ran," Jessica suddenly called out.
"Um?"
"Don't tickle my feet, they're a little itchy."
"...oh"
Chen Ran reluctantly withdrew his hand from Jessica's fair and delicate feet.
He didn't do it on purpose, nor did he have any particular fetish; he was just watching TV, and his hand unconsciously slipped there.
Jessica put down her phone, looked at Chen Ran's profile, and her eyes suddenly flickered.
"Chen Ran".
"Um?"
"Did you sleep comfortably on the sofa last night?"
Huh? Does this mean I can go back to my bedroom to sleep tonight?
Chen Ran immediately turned his head and said, "Of course it's uncomfortable. Sleeping on the sofa is nowhere near as comfortable as sleeping in a bed."
"I see."
Jessica nodded thoughtfully, but a sly smile flashed in her eyes as she glanced at Chen Ran.
"Then please, sleep on the sofa for another night."
"what?"
Chen Ran was a little dumbfounded; this was not what he had expected.
Jessica pulled her legs back and sat up.
"Just sleep one more night and recharge your energy."
After saying that, she got up and walked towards the stairwell: "I'm going back to my room. You should get some rest."
Behind him, Chen Ran stared at her retreating figure, his mind still blank.
Replenishing energy? What does sleeping on the sofa have to do with replenishing energy?
What does that mean?
