From Trashy A to the Heiress’s Little Son-in-Law After the Idol Competition (GL, ABO) - Chapter 75

“Nuo Jiejie,” Xiao Yanjin held her tightly, unable to meet Ji Yunuo’s gaze, so she rested her head against her collarbone and murmured, “These little wounds will heal soon, leaving faint scars as mementos, how ironic. Just small wounds, so why do they hurt every time they’re touched?” (Lyrics from Little Wounds)

Ji Yunuo gently stroked her hair, and Xiao Yanjin continued, “I truly understand, it’s not that you’re fickle, but that I wasn’t there when you felt lonely.” (Lyrics from Stefanie Sun’s Rainy Day)

“Jiejie, I want you to bite me first,” Xiao Yanjin whispered. Earlier in the bathroom, she had done something that brought her immense pleasure compared to Ji Yunuo’s fierceness, she was tender and attentive.

Ji Yunuo recalled how she had been thoroughly ravished in the bathroom, her eyes suddenly turning cold.

She pushed Xiao Yanjin away, but Xiao Yanjin was overjoyed, laughing breathlessly. “Jiejie, come on.”

Xiao Yanjin said, “I really do understand, it’s not that you’re fickle, but that I wasn’t there when you felt lonely.” (Lyrics from Stefanie Sun’s I’m Not Sad)

Ji Yunuo smirked coldly…

To Xiao Yanjin, she felt like ice encountered in the sweltering summer, quickly soothing the heat.

“Does it hurt?” Ji Yunuo asked coolly.

Xiao Yanjin completely missed the edge in her tone and grinned foolishly. “It hurts. I should gently let go of your hand, but I don’t have the strength to do it.” (Lyrics from Fish Leong’s Innocence)

Ji Yunuo burst into laughter and decided to indulge her a little.

Xiao Yanjin first hummed happily in response, then suddenly realized something was off. Hmph, her technique really isn’t as good as mine!

As for when dawn arrived, the two had long since fallen asleep.

It wasn’t until Wei Qin deliberately called them for lunch at noon that they stirred.

Xiao Yanjin blinked her bleary eyes open, watching as Ji Yunuo dressed. Her beautiful silhouette left Xiao Yanjin entranced.

“Good morning kiss,” Xiao Yanjin hugged her from behind, grinning as she planted a kiss.

Now, Ji Yunuo was everywhere…

Ji Yunuo sighed.

“Get up, you little fool.”

Her voice was soft and gentle, completely devoid of the arrogance she once carried.

Xiao Yanjin buried her face in Ji Yunuo’s shoulder, giggling uncontrollably.

Ji Yunuo couldn’t resist hitting her with a pillow. “What’s so funny?”

Xiao Yanjin laughed wildly on the bed, tears streaming down her face. “No, it’s just, I remembered what you said to me last night.”

Now fully awake, Ji Yunuo was nothing like the pliant version of herself from the night before, who had obediently repeated whatever Xiao Yanjin asked her to say.

Unable to hold back, she pummeled Xiao Yanjin with light punches.

“You’d better forget everything that happened last night!” she said coldly.

Xiao Yanjin looked on the verge of tears. “But Jiejie said I did so well! Why make me forget? Was it really that bad?”

She transformed into a pitiful puppy, her eyes brimming with such sorrow that anyone unaware might think Ji Yunuo was bullying the housekeeper’s daughter, leveraging her status as the young mistress.

Come to think of it, Xiao Yanjin had forgotten every single piece of advice Wei Qin gave her yesterday except the compliments, because Xiao Yanjin had always been amazing.

Ji Yunuo suspected she would forever be at Xiao Yanjin’s mercy, with no escape.

Somehow, whatever Wei Qin said to Ji Zhiye at night made it seem like these two were constantly showing off their affection in front of Ji Yunuo and Xiao Yanjin.

“Darling, I made these mung bean cakes for you from a decades-old recipe. You’ll love them.” Ji Zhiye picked up a piece with two fingers and brought it to her wife’s lips.

Wei Qin obliged by taking a few bites.

She had always been picky with her tastes and high in her standards.

Back when she was still the young mistress of her family, she would nitpick at everything.

The only food she could stomach was whatever Ji Zhiye cooked for her.

It wasn’t that Ji Zhiye’s cooking was unparalleled in fact, it was rather plain. But love is blind, and to a lover’s palate, even the simplest dish becomes divine. Wei Qin adored everything Ji Zhiye made.

And Ji Zhiye was more than happy to cook for her wife every day.

Since their marriage, they had been the gold standard for celebrity power couples in the entertainment industry.

Ji Yunuo stayed silent. Though she was used to it, something still felt off. Xiao Yanjin felt the same way before, when the two of them flaunted their love, they kept to themselves. But now, it was as if they were deliberately putting on a show, their expressions almost… smug.

“Would you two like some?” Encouraged by her wife’s praise, Ji Zhiye was brimming with confidence in her culinary skills.

Ji Yunuo hesitated, she wasn’t exactly a fan.

Xiao Yanjin politely picked up a piece and took a bite, only for her face to immediately twist in discomfort.

It wasn’t exactly bad, but it was utterly flavorless. Wei Qin watched her figure and avoided sweets, so it made sense that the mung bean cakes had less sugar but they didn’t have to be this bland.

Seeing Xiao Yanjin’s expression, Ji Yunuo burst out laughing.

She picked up a napkin and wiped the crumbs from the corner of Xiao Yanjin’s mouth.

Xiao Yanjin grinned foolishly at her, then eyed the half-eaten cherry in Ji Yunuo’s hand before opening her mouth. “Feed me, jiejie.”

Ji Yunuo immediately popped the remaining half into her mouth.

The sight was enough to drive anyone mad with envy.

Ji Zhiye and Wei Qin were no exception.

Ji Zhiye thought, After all the effort I put into nurturing our love, how dare these youngsters match us?!

Wei Qin leaned back in her chair and chuckled. “Ye-ye, look at these two. They think we’re showing off too much, so they’re giving us a taste of their own medicine.”

Ji Yunuo wiped her hands. Compared to her two mothers, who were over twenty years her senior, she was far more mature.

“I don’t have time to compete with you. Ah-Jin and I have always been like this.”

Her words sounded aloof, but they only stoked the older couple’s competitive spirit.

Wei Qin finished the rest of the mung bean cake in one bite. Though she wanted her daughter to be happy, when it came to happiness, who could possibly surpass her and Ji Zhiye?

Ji Yunuo began helping the Xiao family regain its footing, only to discover that many of its subsidiaries had been acquired by a company called “Sunset Glow.”

When Xiao Yanjin heard the news, she was on the balcony outside her bedroom, sipping tea and admiring the cherry blossoms in the courtyard.

She had truly embraced the slacker life.

Neither Ji Zhiye nor Wei Qin pressured her to work they didn’t even entertain the idea, letting her live as a lady of leisure.

And she was more than happy to oblige. Being a pampered socialite was too enjoyable. There was always an endless supply of fruit, and she didn’t even have to buy her own clothes or daily necessities, everything was prepared for her to choose from. Not to mention, Ji Yunuo would bring her treats after work and even bought her several gaming consoles to keep her entertained.

Life couldn’t have been more carefree.

She sighed every day at how blissful it was to be pampered by a gentle, wealthy older sister, living the life of a kept alpha in a wealthy family.

Ridiculous. This was clearly the epitome of an elegant noblewoman’s refined existence.

Could those who mocked kept alphas even afford a bedsheet worth a hundred grand?

After work, Ji Yunuo walked straight into her bedroom. She wore a gray suit paired with a matching pencil skirt and a blue-and-white striped shirt underneath. Already aloof by nature, the austere outfit made her appear even more untouchable.

No wonder people on the street always stopped to stare whenever she went to the office. Even some bold interns would openly discuss in the break room what CEO Ji was wearing that day, her style was so icy, so utterly divine, the very image of an unattainable goddess.

“Jiejie, you’re back.” Hearing the click of high heels, Xiao Yanjin stood up eagerly, helping her out of her coat and hanging it up with all the domestic grace that would make Wei Qin proud.

Ji Yunuo gave a quiet hum. “Did you see the news earlier?”

Xiao Yanjin nodded obediently, then smirked coldly. “It’s Xiao Xiren’s company. Seems he’s not just after the Xiao family estate, he wants the business too.”

Ji Yunuo naturally despised Xiao Xiren. “How greedy.”

Xiao Yanjin’s expression showed nothing but disgust for him, yet she seemed oddly indifferent, as if she couldn’t care less that he was trying to take over what was rightfully hers.

“Jiejie.”

“Hm?”

“I’ve decided not to continue with the Xiao family’s old business.” The Xiao family had made their fortune in real estate, but Xiao Yanjin had little expertise in it. Even if she reclaimed the company, with Xiao Liangmu’s incompetence, it would just collapse again.

“So you want to stay in the entertainment industry?” Ji Yunuo’s gaze burned into her.

Xiao Yanjin burst out laughing, flopping onto the sofa with her hands behind her head. “No, I want to be your spoiled little alpha lazing around all day, serving my wife. What’s wrong with that? I could be your housewife, cook for you, do your laundry, warm your bed, even give you my mark.”

Ji Yunuo didn’t approve. “That’s not a good mindset. Being a housewife doesn’t hold much status these days. Earning your own money is far more satisfying.”

Xiao Yanjin secretly laughed at how serious she was, then pouted pitifully. “Jiejie doesn’t want to take care of me?”

Ji Yunuo froze. This version of Xiao Yanjin was nothing like the fierce woman she knew in bed.

Sometimes, when she pretended to be pitiful, she really did look like a soft, clingy puppy or maybe a fluffy kitten. Ji Yunuo wanted to keep her. No, she wished she could have raised her from childhood, kept her in her bedroom where she could hold her, stroke her head, and never let her leave. That way, no one else could ever covet her.

“It’s not that.”

Xiao Yanjin grinned, eyes curving like crescent moons. “Then what is it?” Then, shifting back to a wounded expression she really was a master of theatrics, she whined like a puppy, “Jiejie gets so upset when I’m hurt. Would you really deny a little alpha who can cook, warm your bed, and bring you both physical and emotional happiness?”

Ji Yunuo could only sigh in amusement.

She stood up and embraced Ji Yunuo, gently lifting her delicate, snow-white chin. The pitiful look in her eyes instantly transformed into one of deep infatuation.

Ji Yunuo couldn’t help but think, “This girl is really wasting her talent by not becoming an actress.”

“Sister, everyone says I’m shameless, a heartless scoundrel, the world’s number one bastard and thinking about it now, they’re absolutely right.” Xiao Yanjin chuckled mockingly, then placed her hand on Ji Yunuo’s flat stomach, giving it a firm rub.

Ji Yunuo frowned but was quickly soothed by Xiao Yanjin’s next words.

Xiao Yanjin continued, “When our child appears in your belly, and you endure the hardships of pregnancy, how could I just laze around at home, watching you go through ten months of struggle? Earning my own money to support my wife and our little one, that’s the greatest happiness.”

Though she truly didn’t want to return to her old profession, she also wouldn’t let Xiao Xiren off the hook!

Ji Yunuo hummed in agreement, wrapping her arms around Xiao Yanjin’s neck and pressing a light, fleeting kiss to her lips.

“Do you like the idea of having a little one?” she asked.

Xiao Yanjin thought for a moment. Naturally, she adored the idea of a well-behaved child. “Do you like it, sister?”

“If it’s yours and mine, then I do.”

Xiao Yanjin burst into laughter and glanced toward the bed behind them.

“Then sister should start putting in the effort,” she teased with a grin, whispering into her ear, “This delicate Alpha is here to warm your bed.”

…

After the disbandment of the Justice League, Shi Zhengyi returned to her career as a rapper. Her popularity soared, she released solo tracks, earned a considerable amount of money, and even appeared on several variety shows, life was treating her well.

It had been a month since Xiao Yanjin last saw her after their engagement banquet.

“You’ve even put on some weight life’s treating you pretty good, huh?” Shi Zhengyi took a sip of her drink in the noisy little bar, teasing her.

She had already seen the paparazzi photos on trending searches, Xiao Yanjin and Ji Yunuo shopping at malls, playing at amusement parks, strolling along the beach. Xiao Yanjin even posted about it on social media.

Almost every post was about Ji Yunuo.

Sometimes bragging about the cake Ji Yunuo bought her, praising how thoughtful her sister was. Other times, flaunting their hand-holding walks in the rain, gushing about growing old together. Or even whining dramatically when Ji Yunuo suddenly gave her the cold shoulder fully leaning into her delicate Alpha persona. Their CP fans couldn’t get enough of it!

Couldn’t this girl be a little more ambitious?!

Though Shi Zhengyi had to admit, she was kind of jealous.

Xiao Yanjin took a small sip this was her first night out in a while.

Ji Yunuo had specifically reminded her not to drink too much, and the bodyguards escorting her were constantly reporting back.

“Aren’t you the same?” Xiao Yanjin laughed.

Shi Zhengyi snorted. “I’m not as shameless as you, getting spoiled rotten and then posting all that sickly-sweet nonsense. Who are you trying to make gag with that?”

Xiao Yanjin simply smiled without responding.

Shi Zhengyi grew uneasy under her gaze. “Why are you staring at me like that?”

“I heard you’re collaborating with Teacher Hu Tingting?”

Hu Tingting was a legendary music producer in the industry, responsible for countless hit songs.

“Yeah, so?”

“Give me her contact info.”

“Damn, I thought you came to catch up, but you just want something from me!” Shi Zhengyi pouted. Back during their trainee days, she and Xiao Yanjin had been the closest. Even now, they still were!

Xiao Yanjin smiled, “Of course I won’t treat you poorly.” Then she took out a card from her bag and handed it over.

Shi Zhengyi glanced at it, it was a gold-tier VIP membership card for the massive shopping plaza nearby, meaning she could get discounts on purchases there. And not just any discount, 80% off!

Shi Zhengyi’s hands trembled. She instinctively covered her mouth to stifle an impending scream, her voice shaking as she managed to say, “But… the stores in that plaza are all super expensive!”

Xiao Yanjin nodded. “When my sister and I went there before, she saw me buying a lot, so she got me this top-tier membership card as a gift.”

“You’re giving me the card that Miss Ji gave you? Aren’t you afraid she’ll come after me?”

Xiao Yanjin chuckled calmly, exuding an air of authority even though her fiancée was the real powerhouse.

“Don’t worry, she gave me six of these.”

Shi Zhengyi: “…”
