From Trashy A to the Heiress’s Little Son-in-Law After the Idol Competition (GL, ABO) - Chapter 69
Xiao Yanjin was vaguely awakened by the alarm clock. When she checked the time, it was already nine o’clock.
She rolled over, recalling the intimate moments with her sister the night before, and her body grew slightly feverish.
Footsteps approached the door, followed by a knock.
Xiao Yanjin drowsily opened the door to see Ji Yunuo standing there, dressed in a beige knitted long sweater, her hair lazily tied up. A gentle smile played on her lips, making her look like a mature and tender older sister at least, that’s how Xiao Yanjin saw her.
“Time to get up. You should come downstairs for breakfast.”
Xiao Yanjin’s heart swelled with joy as she leaned against Ji Yunuo, nuzzling into her chest.
Sweetly, she called out, “Sister Nuo.”
Ji Yunuo chuckled and pinched her cheek.
However, a sharp, icy glare suddenly pierced through the air, making Xiao Yanjin feel as if her heart had been stabbed. She gasped for breath, instantly wide awake.
Wei Qin stood nearby, her voice cold. “Since you’re up, come downstairs for breakfast.”
Xiao Yanjin patted her still-pounding chest. This mother-in-law was terrifying! Thankfully, after last night, she had worried Wei Qin might check in the morning and had returned to her own room. Otherwise, Wei Qin would have skinned her alive!
As they walked downstairs, Xiao Yanjin asked Ji Yunuo, “Do you always eat at nine?”
Ji Yunuo shook her head. “We have a rule, everyone must come down for breakfast before nine. Usually, it’s around eight-thirty.”
Xiao Yanjin was speechless. If she married into the Ji family, she’d have to wake up at eight-thirty every day!
That meant no more sleeping in for her!!
The Ji family’s breakfast was simple.
Either plain congee, boiled eggs, and a bit of pickled vegetables, or toast with milk.
The sight of it was enough to make one feel full, it was just too healthy!
Not even a single steamed pork bun in sight!!!!
Noticing Xiao Yanjin’s expression, Ji Yunuo knew exactly what she was thinking. She turned to the cook, Aunt Gu, and said, “Aunt Gu, could you make a plate of stir-fried noodles? Preferably with bean sprouts. Thank you.”
Xiao Yanjin preferred heavier flavors for breakfast, often adding chili to her stir-fried noodles or rice.
Ji Yunuo knew her eating habits from their time in the training camp and arranged everything accordingly.
Wei Qin asked, “Why stir-fried noodles?”
Ji Yunuo replied, “I like them.”
She didn’t mention Xiao Yanjin’s preferences, afraid Wei Qin would criticize her.
Ji Zhiye suddenly swallowed hard at the mention of stir-fried noodles. The breakfast menu had always been personally arranged by Wei Qin, emphasizing health and lightness. Though she had grown accustomed to it over the years, the sight of other delicious foods still made her crave them.
So she called out to Aunt Gu in the kitchen, “Make me a plate too.”
Wei Qin shot Ji Zhiye a glare.
After finishing her meal, Wei Qin elegantly wiped her lips. Just then, Aunt Gu brought out two plates of noodles. Ji Zhiye asked her, “Would you like some?”
The aroma of the stir-fried noodles was irresistible. Wei Qin seemed momentarily tempted by the scent but stubbornly shook her head.
“Nuo Nuo, how is the baby?” Knowing Ji Yunuo was pregnant, Wei Qin was extremely concerned. She had even hired extra help to take care of her and adjusted her diet accordingly.
Ji Yunuo, who wasn’t actually pregnant, paused briefly before murmuring, “Everything’s fine.”
Ji Zhiye suddenly began lecturing, “Xiao Yanjin, now that Nuo Nuo is pregnant, you should remember to take care of her. Since it’s your first time being a mother, it’s understandable if you overlook some things. Make sure to read up on pregnancy care articles in the future.”
“Got it.” Xiao Yanjin naturally understood this point, but since Ji Yunuo wasn’t actually pregnant, she wouldn’t pay extra attention.
“Why aren’t you experiencing morning sickness? When I was pregnant with you, I was vomiting nonstop,” Wei Qin asked in confusion.
“Everyone’s constitution is different,” Ji Yunuo replied, lowering her head and exchanging a helpless glance with Xiao Yanjin.
Wei Qin pressed, “Do you really have to go to work?”
“Of course. Staying at home for months without any social interaction would be bad for my communication skills.” Ji Yunuo sighed. “The baby isn’t even three months yet, and I don’t have morning sickness, so naturally, I should keep working and gain some professional experience.”
Ji Zhiye nodded approvingly. “Our Nuonuo is a strong, independent woman, she needs to lay the groundwork for her career.”
Wei Qin shoved a bite of noodles into her mouth. “Just eat your noodles!” With that, she went upstairs to play the piano.
Ji Yunuo pressed her lips together. Now wasn’t the time to tell Wei Qin at least not until after the engagement.
She handed the bowl of noodles to Xiao Yanjin and said softly, “Eat up.”
Xiao Yanjin’s eyes sparkled. “Thank you, Nuojie.”
“No need for formalities we’re family now,” Ji Zhiye chimed in, digging into her food. She never dared to indulge too much in front of Wei Qin, but how could she resist such delicious stir-fried noodles?
As Xiao Yanjin took a few bites, she pondered. Though Ji Zhiye was the head of the Ji family, Wei Qin was the true power behind the throne, the real boss here, and no one dared to defy her.
And for some reason, Wei Qin seemed to dislike Xiao Yanjin being close to Ji Yunuo.
Every time she saw Xiao Yanjin leaning against Ji Yunuo, Wei Qin would coldly remark.
If Xiao Yanjin wanted to thrive in the Ji household, she needed to win Wei Qin over first!
That night, when Ji Zhiye returned late from work, Wei Qin, feeling lonely, tearfully complained about her tardiness.
After much coaxing, Ji Zhiye finally managed to calm her down and then never emerged from the room again.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Yanjin stealthily slipped into Ji Yunuo’s room.
The door wasn’t locked, clearly left open for her on purpose.
Xiao Yanjin bounced onto Ji Yunuo’s spacious bed, enveloped in her intoxicating fragrance. The room was cool from the air conditioning, so she snuggled under the thin blanket, giggling as she waited for Ji Yunuo to finish showering.
When Ji Yunuo stepped out, clad in a long black silk nightgown that revealed the snowy skin at her collar, she radiated a spring-like allure.
Spotting the little omega curled up on her bed, she couldn’t help but smile.
She realized how blissful it was to have a sweet, clingy alpha. These days, even during her internship, she’d find herself thinking about what gifts to bring home for her little alpha, wondering if she missed her. Immersed in such warm, lively thoughts was truly delightful.
Xiao Yanjin nestled in Ji Yunuo’s arms, idly playing with her long, silky hair, and asked casually, “Jiejie, what are Mother-in-law’s hobbies?”
Ji Yunuo, scrolling through her phone while holding her “little wife,” didn’t think much of it. “Which mother-in-law?”
Xiao Yanjin pouted. “Wei Qin, of course.”
Ji Yunuo hummed in realization. “She loves sweet romance dramas, getting manicures, dressing up, playing mahjong, eating desserts, why do you ask?”
Xiao Yanjin shook her head. “No reason.”
Then she leaned up to kiss her, cutting off any further thought.
Ji Yunuo chuckled and pulled her closer, rolling over with her in her arms.
Her clothes had already been stripped off completely, Little Milk A was definitely the winner in this aspect.
Xiao Yanjin’s voice was always soft and sweet, deliberately pitched that way, but it was also a tactic to please an Omega. As long as Ji Yunuo liked it, that was all that mattered.
“Big sis, are you tired from work?”
Xiao Yanjin murmured against her, pressing down.
Ji Yunuo furrowed her brows, already unable to speak properly.
“Mmm.”
“Let me give you a massage. Would you like that, big sis?”
Ji Yunuo let out a soft sound, enjoying her touch.
Xiao Yanjin trailed her fingers over Ji Yunuo’s flat stomach, gently pressing against it. “Big sis, the bed is all wet.”
Ji Yunuo bit her lip, her face flushed, completely flustered by her.
“I’ll lick it clean for you.” Xiao Yanjin smirked, loving this expression on Ji Yunuo, it made her feel like she was doing something impressive.
Another new day arrived. Ji Zhiye took Ji Yunuo to visit the family company, while Xiao Yanjin stayed home, waiting for her wife to return.
But she wasn’t idle. She wandered around casually, searching for her next target.
Wei Qin was in the living room watching the hottest sweet romance drama of the year, Alpha, Don’t Fall in Love with an Omega.
Xiao Yanjin had known for a while that Wei Qin had been binging this show.
She had spent the entire night studying the plot progression.
Naturally sharp-witted and a humanities major to boot, she quickly grasped the storyline and smiled confidently, she had this in the bag.
So today, she would show Wei Qin her true skills!
“Mom, what are you watching?” Xiao Yanjin walked over with a sweet smile.
Wei Qin shuddered slightly at being called “Mom.”
“Oh, isn’t this Alpha, Don’t Fall in Love with an Omega? It’s super popular right now.”
Wei Qin gave a noncommittal hum.
Xiao Yanjin secretly grinned.
“Do you know this drama is based on a novel?”
Wei Qin raised a brow. “Oh? It’s an adaptation?”
“Yep.” Xiao Yanjin sat on the sofa, keeping a polite distance, but Wei Qin didn’t seem uncomfortable, letting her talk.
“I’ve even read the novel’s ending. Would you like to hear it, Mom?”
Wei Qin glanced at her. Xiao Yanjin’s smile never wavered her eyes were both alluring and innocent, undeniably captivating.
“Go on, then.”
Using her literary flair, Xiao Yanjin swiftly summarized the novel’s plot and key highlights, even analyzing the drama’s current developments, the female lead’s characterization, and the story’s future trajectory.
Gradually, Wei Qin became engrossed, engaging in lively discussion with her.
They dissected everything from the scumbag male lead to the parental interference, to the heroine’s resilience and ended up cursing the trashy alpha together.
After touring the company, Ji Yunuo couldn’t stop thinking about her little wife at home and hurried back.
But the conversation she overheard made her doubt her ears.
“Ugh, that alpha is so ungrateful! I mean, the female lead treats her so well, how can she still be dissatisfied?”
“Exactly! The female lead has suffered enough, especially after being tricked by that scumbag before.”
“Honestly, audiences these days always side with alphas. They show zero mercy to Omega actors, the actress playing the female lead gets bashed every day, while the alpha and the scumbag male lead get off with just a few jokes.”
Ji Yunuo was speechless.
Was that really Wei Qin and Xiao Yanjin talking?
Hearing the commotion at the door, Xiao Yanjin turned around with a smile, “Sister Nuo.”
Wei Qin noticed Ji Yunuo’s sudden change in attitude, completely different from her earlier gossipy demeanor. After turning off the TV, she headed upstairs.
Ji Yunuo asked curiously, “Were you two just having a conversation?”
Xiao Yanjin motioned for her to sit down, then leaned in close, whispering warm breath into her ear, “I plan to win over my mother-in-law, so our relationship can improve.”
Ji Yunuo couldn’t help but laugh, “Will that really work?”
Xiao Yanjin spread her hands, grinning playfully, “Didn’t it just show some effect? Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of time, I’ll definitely succeed.”
Ji Yunuo hummed in agreement, thinking her little sweet alpha was too clever, rewarding her with a few extra kisses.
Wei Qin seemed to have noticed that this daughter-in-law had been cozying up to her every day.
One day, Xiao Yanjin passed by Ji Zhanye and Wei Qin’s room while carrying a laundry basket.
The door wasn’t fully closed, and a burst of laughter made her pause to look inside.
In the bedroom, Ji Zhanye was spinning around with Wei Qin on her back.
Wei Qin patted her shoulder worriedly, exclaiming, “You’re not young anymore is your back even up for this?”
“I’m an alpha, my stamina is great. Besides, you’re so light, nothing will happen.”
Xiao Yanjin twitched her lips, this old couple really knew how to have fun.
Wei Qin was clearly used to being carried around like this, laughing yet fretful, her cheeks flushed as she kept insisting on being put down.
Ji Zhanye spun her once more before finally setting her down.
Stretching, she frowned, “Getting old my bones really aren’t what they used to be.”
Wei Qin massaged her shoulders, clicking her tongue, “I told you not to carry me, but you wouldn’t listen. By the way, why aren’t you going to the company today?”
Ji Zhanye kissed her, “I wanted to spend more time with you. Oh, that stir-fried noodles we had yesterday were really good want to try them again tomorrow?”
Wei Qin turned her head away haughtily, “I’m on a diet.”
Ji Zhanye pinched her waist, “You’re already this slim, what diet?”
Pulled into her embrace, Wei Qin lightly punched her chest, muttering, “I’ll eat if you make it.”
Xiao Yanjin inwardly tsked, too affectionate. No, too torturous for bystanders. She needed to get away fast!
After hanging the laundry on the balcony, Xiao Yanjin picked up the empty basket and walked out, only to run into Wei Qin.
Wei Qin was dressed in a silk robe, her hair lazily cascading down, a gold bracelet adorning her fair wrist, every movement exuded refined elegance.
Xiao Yanjin could already imagine what Ji Yunuo would look like in her forties probably even more striking than this award-winning actress.
“Good morning, Mom.”
“You do your own laundry?” Wei Qin stared at the clothes outside, stunned.
This former alpha heiress actually knew how to wash clothes?
“Yep, mostly helping Sister out,” Xiao Yanjin said earnestly.
Wei Qin sighed, “Leave the bedsheets and quilts to the maids, what are we paying them for? Clothes can go in the washing machine. There’s no need for you to work so hard, or people might think our Ji family is mistreating you.”
Xiao Yanjin shook her head, “Sister is particular about cleanliness. Hand-washing for her is easier, and she doesn’t mind me doing it.”
Wei Qin clicked her tongue, “Nuo has never once complained about how I’ve handled her clothes all these years, she definitely doesn’t care.”
“But this time is different. I should be doing things for my sister at home,” Xiao Yanjin said with a flushed face. “Sister Nuo has been so good to me, how could I just sit around enjoying the fruits of her labor? Oh right, I still need to go buy some beans.”
“Buy beans for what?”
“Sister Nuo might have just started working and lost her appetite. I’ll make her some soy milk to help regulate her endocrine system.”
Wei Qin was stunned, this alpha was actually so domestic and virtuous!
