Allowed To Be Jealous

"I swear my eyes weren't playing tricks on me," Veena swore to the heavens.

Jay Chauhan pursed his thin lips tightly. Isha's beautiful face appeared in front of his eyes, and he was bewildered.

"Cousin? Cousin?" Veena waved in front of his eyes. "Do you believe me?"

Jay Chauhan said, "Did your colleague leave any original documents?"

Veena slapped her head. "I'm so stupid. I forgot that there's still the original document. I'll go get it from her now!"

She was so shocked that her mind had completely blanked out. After being reminded by Jay Chauhan, she immediately ran to look for her colleague.

Then, she hurried back with a freshly printed document and placed it in front of Jay Chauhan.

Jay Chauhan suppressed the throbbing in his heart and slowly turned the page.

The black bold print in front of him came clearly into view—'supports the identification of a biological mother-daughter relationship between the two subjects.'

His eyes focused on the line. Then, he remembered how hard his mother had worked over the years and the stress she'd taken on.

When she wasn't sick, she was the gentlest and most beautiful mother in the world. But every time she was sick, she was obsessed with finding her daughter and his sister.

This made Jay Chauhan troubled by this obsession all these years.

He remembered that when his mother first saw Isha, she had insisted on holding her hand and treating her like her daughter. In the beginning, he just thought that it was because of the panda hat on Isha's head.

But now that he thought about it, it was his mother's intuition at that time. She really recognized Isha.

Except...

He looked at the document in front of him and said, "Is this accurate?"

"It should be accurate. My medical kit only contained Aunt and Isha's blood. I'm not from this department, so it's impossible for me to touch other people's blood. My colleague's skills are quite trustworthy too," Veena quickly said. She quite liked Isha. If Isha was really her aunt's daughter, wouldn't they be cousins?

They were also cousins when Isha was a member of the Tiwari family.

However, Isha was Sunaina Rathore's daughter. There was a big difference between Isha being Sunaina Rathore's daughter and Riya Rathore's daughter.

"What are you worried about, Cousin? Aunt has found her daughter. Isn't that a good thing?"

Jay Chauhan closed the file and said evenly, "What if there's a mistake?"

Being looked at by Jay Chauhan's black eyes, Veena was also stunned. "That's right. If I'm wrong, Aunt will definitely be hurt again. As for Isha, she has also experienced many gains and losses, so we can't be wrong this time. Otherwise, they'll both be hurt again. We have to make things accurate so that we can tell them with confidence."

That was what Jay Chauhan meant. "That's right. We have to be 100% sure before we can reveal this fact."

"But what should we do now? I just asked my colleagues. Aunt's and Isha's blood has been used up. At that time, we didn't draw much... It's fine to draw more blood from Aunt, but how can we get Isha's blood again?" Veena was a little worried.

"I'll go." Jay Chauhan stood up.

......

Night fell.

The stage and lights had already been set up at a certain brand's event venue. In the bright lights, the people who came and went were in a hurry. They were waiting for the artist who would be on stage later.

In the dressing room.

Isha was getting the final touches done for her appearance under the makeup artist's inspection.

Because the lighting was very bright and harsh, the makeup artist had to add foundation and highlight for Isha even though her skin was already very good.

With her eyes closed, Isha let the makeup artist work on her.

There was a knock on the dressing room door.

"Come in," she said casually.

The door opened, and Jay Chauhan's slender figure appeared in the doorway, looking as cold as ever.

"Isha," Jay Chauhan greeted her first this time. "I came over to borrow some makeup items. Is that okay?"

Isha knew that a director like him didn't usually need to care too much about his appearance. He didn't have his own makeup artist, so she nodded. "Feel free to use them."

Jay Chauhan reached out and took Isha's comb. There was a lot of hair that had just fallen off. Anything that was a complete hair follicle could be used.

He casually took a few before picking up the brush and brushing it twice over his head.

Then, he handed a panda doll to Isha. "I saw this cute doll outside just now, so I got one for you."

Isha felt that he was acting strange today. Jay Chauhan was usually distant and proud. He rarely talked to anyone.

'And didn't he want to use makeup products? After just using a hairbrush, he doesn't want to use any makeup anymore?'

Jay Chauhan came over simply to get her hair. However, before he came, he specially went to buy a small doll.

Other than his mother, this was probably the first time he had specially bought a girl a gift.

Isha thought for a moment before taking it. "Thank you, Director Chauhan."

Jay Chauhan nodded and left.

Isha squeezed the panda for a moment, then hung it on her bag.

The makeup artist joked, saying, "Isha, Director Chauhan seems to be really pursuing you."

"No way!" Isha quickly denied it. "The previous rumors were already clarified to be a coincidence. As you saw today, a man like Director Chauhan doesn't usually wear makeup, so it's normal for him not to be prepared for an occasion like this."

Outside the door, when Jay Chauhan left, he bumped into Shivam. His cold eyes were like a bottomless cold pool. When he saw Jay Chauhan, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Jay Chauhan had worked with DiXi Media Company before and was familiar with Shivam. However, when he saw that Shivam was going to Isha's dressing room, he frowned slightly.

Shivam nodded slightly in greeting. However, when he saw that Jay Chauhan had come from Isha's dressing room, his eyes darkened.

Jay Chauhan nodded and strode away.

Hari stood behind Shivam. Although he saw that the two men did not speak, he could clearly feel the sparks between the two of them. It was as if a casual touch would cause a huge explosion.

A small tremor ran through him.

When Shivam arrived at the door of Isha's dressing room, he heard the makeup artist say, "Isha, Director Chauhan seems to be really pursuing you."

Hari couldn't help but shiver. Some people really didn't know the right things to say.

Fortunately, Isha's denial was very serious. Hari felt the dangerous aura of the big shot in front of him lessen, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Go and find out why Jay Chauhan came over just now." Shivam's voice was cold.

Hari quickly went over.

After the makeup artist left, Shivam came in.

"I'm done. After the event, I can go home." Isha smiled.

Shivam's gaze fell on her bag. There was a small panda doll hanging on it. She did not have it when she came.

It was obviously from Jay Chauhan.

Seeing that his gaze was on that, Isha said, "Are you looking at this? If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"It's from Jay Chauhan?"

"Well, he came to borrow something, and he probably felt bad about it, so he left me a trinket. I couldn't just say no, so I accepted it."

"You like this?"

Isha nodded. "Pandas are so obedient. Who wouldn't like them? Do you know that I can watch pandas all day at the zoo?"

Immediately, she noticed a trace of indifferent displeasure in the man's eyes and sensed something. "Actually, I don't like it that much anymore. This little doll isn't exquisite enough. This one isn't even neat. Forget it. I'll give it to someone else later."

Shivam bent down and hugged her. "Yes."

"Are you jealous?" Isha hooked her arms around his neck. "I didn't mean to take anything from him. I was just too embarrassed to reject him directly."

"What about other people's pursuits?"

"Of course, I have to refuse! Shivam, am I someone who can't even figure out priorities?" Isha was a little anxious, and she sounded slightly depressed.

Shivam said seriously, "Sorry, I was just too jealous, so..."

"You're allowed to be jealous, but you can't be jealous over nothing." A bright smile bloomed on her face.

Shivam let go of her, afraid that he would ruin her makeup. He was also afraid that he would kiss her and ruin her lipstick.

"Then I'll go on stage now. Wait for me." Isha lifted the hem of her dress and kissed him gently on the cheek.

After Isha left, Hari called.

"Mr. Pratap, after Jay Chauhan left this way, he didn't go on stage but went to the hospital. I asked the makeup artist just now. He used Young Madam's comb."

'Hospital? A hairbrush?

'Since he used her comb, then it could be that... He took Isha's hair.'

The thoughts came together quickly, forming a possibility.

Shivam's eyes turned cold. Was Jay Chauhan still investigating Isha's background?

Didn't they already confirm the last time that Isha wasn't from the Tiwari family?

In the blink of an eye, he thought of another possibility—Riya Rathore.

Riya Rathore took Isha's panda hat the last time, and Isha ultimately had to get her blood drawn. Shivam had been paying attention to this series of incidents.

Was the Rathore family suspecting that Isha was Riya Rathore's daughter?

Jay Chauhan felt that Isha was his sister, so he gave her a doll?

It seemed that Jay Chauhan had some clues, so he approached his sister and tried to make her happy.

'But I can't allow even her brother to do that!'

Shivam took a photo of the panda doll and sent it to Hari. "Buy a few of this."

Hari was a little surprised when he received the photo. The mission given by Mr. Pratap this time was really too different. He had just followed Jay Chauhan, and now he was going to buy dolls?

However, it was all because Mr. Pratap had a wife now.

Hari did not dare to delay and immediately went to carry out the order.

Isha was going on stage today to promote a cosmetics product. There were many people below the stage, including enthusiastic fans, senior executives of the brand, and reporters.

Among the crowd were two other people. One was Yami, and the other was Jagan Verma.

...

Half an hour ago.

Yami received a Whatsapp message from Hina, telling her that Jagan Verma would come to look for her and she should be prepared.

Yami naturally understood what this meant. Hina must have convinced Jagan Verma to look for her and discuss their marriage again.

Hence, she dressed up exquisitely and beautifully. Her beautiful hair was specially styled, and her makeup was also exquisite.

However, Jagan Verma only came over to tell her that he would not resume the engagement even after his mother's deliberate arrangements. He hoped that Yami would understand and that the two of them would part on good terms.

Of course, Yami could not understand!

There were too many things that she couldn't understand. She could understand a man not liking her, but she couldn't understand a man not liking her because of Isha!

Although Isha was no longer a member of the Tiwari family and would no longer have anything to do with them in the future, her grudge against her was already deep. How could Yami let it go?

Isha was no longer a member of the Tiwari family, but everyone still cared about her. Everyone liked her, and everyone kept mentioning her. This made Yami even more puzzled!

"Are you still unable to move on from Isha?" Yami asked bluntly.

Jagan Verma rubbed his temples. He no longer knew how to explain.

"I admit that I did like Isha before, but after knowing that she already has someone else, I gave up on the idea. So can you not involve Isha in everything?"

"Then why is it still impossible between us?"

Jagan Verma pursed his lips tightly and remained silent. He could not directly say that he had seen through Yami's character and was unwilling to spend the rest of his life with such a woman.

He was doing it to save some dignity for Yami.

Today, he was really annoyed by his mother, so he wanted to explain things to Yami.

However, some things were indeed difficult to say.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yami said, "Forget it. It's not impossible for us to part on good terms. Let's treat tonight as our last meeting. I heard that Isha has an event nearby. Let's go over and support her."

Jagan Verma naturally wouldn't refuse her simple request to attend an event together.

His original intention was to deal with this so that they could part on good terms. After that, there would be no enmity between them.

Hence, he entered the event venue with Yami.

The scene was very lively. Yami stood below the stage and looked at Isha from afar. She could only see a tiny figure, but she could clearly feel the love these people had for Isha.

When Isha held the microphone and said no more than a few words, the fans below the stage would wave the light sticks in their hands and shout loudly to express their enthusiasm.

The mood in the venue was high, and the calls for Isha's name were endless.

Yami tilted her head to look at Jagan Verma.

Jagan Verma just casually looked in Isha's direction. He was very calm. In fact, he had already let go of his thoughts about Isha. He was only standing here because he was invited. His goal wasn't Isha Sharma.

However, in Yami's eyes, this was a sign of him being too concerned about Isha and getting distracted by her.
