From Trashy A to the Heiress’s Little Son-in-Law After the Idol Competition (GL, ABO) - Chapter 91

Fresh out of the shower, Ji Yunuo was already asleep in bed.

It was normal for pregnant women to be drowsy. Xiao Yanjin tiptoed to hang up her clothes before gently lying down beside her.

But the movement still stirred Ji Yunuo awake—though not fully. In a daze, she nestled into Xiao Yanjin’s arms.

Xiao Yanjin didn’t dare hold her too tightly. Her arms had been sore for days, but she still found joy in it.

“Let’s go swimming tomorrow,” Ji Yunuo murmured against her chest, her voice dreamy.

Xiao Yanjin froze. “Jiejie, are you asleep?”

“Not yet.”

Xiao Yanjin breathed in the scent of her hair.

“There’s one more thing I need to tell you,” Ji Yunuo suddenly said.

“Oh?”

“But I can only tell you tomorrow.”

Mysterious. Xiao Yanjin was intrigued.

On set, fueled by her promise with Ji Yunuo, Xiao Yanjin threw herself into filming with enthusiasm.

“Miss Xiao, could we rehearse our scene together?” Mu Rouxue approached, her cheeks flushed.

“Sure.”

The scene involved a fight sequence. After a brief exchange of moves, Mu Rouxue suddenly stumbled and fell.

“Ah!” She collapsed onto Xiao Yanjin with a soft, delicate whimper.

Xiao Yanjin’s eyes widened.

She fell just like that?!

And the cameras were still rolling shamelessly.

If she helped Mu Rouxue up, it would undoubtedly spark another round of baseless gossip.

If she didn’t, people would accuse her of being heartless for not assisting someone who had fallen.

Either way, she’d be the one getting criticized!

Well, if that was the case… Xiao Yanjin gritted her teeth, then pretended to lose her balance as well, collapsing dramatically with an exaggerated cry: “Owwww!”

Mu Rouxue: “…”

“Good grief,” Director Gu hurried over to help them up. “What’s going on?! Is the floor that slippery? Both of you fell?”

“Damn, Young Madam Ji’s cry was something else!”

“Sorry, but I just imagined Xiao Yanjin making that noise under CEO Ji…” A few crew members snickered nearby.

“Jiejie, jiejie, jiejie!” Xiao Yanjin called out pitifully.

Hearing her, Ji Yunuo and Qu Yanran quickly stepped forward to help her up.

Ji Yunuo looked worried. “What happened? Why did you fall?”

Ye Yue’er also approached and helped Mu Rouxue to her feet. “Rouxue, are you okay?”

“The floor was wet, and both Miss Mu and I slipped,” Xiao Yanjin said, leaning into Ji Yunuo’s embrace with a pout, as if seeking comfort.

Mu Rouxue had no choice but to play along. “Yes, the floor was too slippery.”

“Did you hurt your tailbone?” Director Gu asked.

Xiao Yanjin rubbed her backside. “I don’t think so. But my butt really hurts!”

Director Gu couldn’t help but laugh, Young Madam Ji was acting spoiled again.

Mu Rouxue, however, watched with barely concealed envy, her fingers tightening imperceptibly before she quietly walked away.

Ji Yunuo had to leave early for another matter.

After wrapping up filming, Xiao Yanjin removed her makeup and prepared to head home.

While the makeup artist worked, an exquisitely packaged cake box was placed on the table beside her. Xiao Yanjin glanced at it—the rich aroma of the cake wafted out, undeniably tempting.

The person delivering it was Mu Rouxue’s assistant, Ye Yue’er.

Xiao Yanjin raised a brow. “Oh? Is Miss Mu treating the whole crew?”

Ye Yue’er was a beta, and it was rare for betas to be as sweet and charming as her. She smiled and said, “Rouxue said the crew members have been working hard, so she specially spent a fortune to treat them to cake. But Ms. Xiao is an exception.”

Most people addressed Xiao Yanjin as “Madam Ji,” so being called “Ms. Xiao” caught her attention.

“This was bought just for you by Rouxue.”

Buying cake for a married alpha was certainly thought-provoking.

The makeup artist who was removing Xiao Yanjin’s makeup had worked in the industry for years, having styled countless celebrities. Yet, upon hearing this, she showed no reaction, as if she already knew what kind of person the star was.

On-set romances and affairs sparked by drama productions were already commonplace.

Moreover, the entertainment industry was full of handsome men and beautiful women, who could guarantee they wouldn’t stray?

But Xiao Yanjin, whom they assumed to be a scummy alpha, upheld alpha virtues and firmly declined.

“Take the cake back. I’m cutting down on sweets only twice a month.”

Ye Yue’er, however, made no move to take it. Instead, she walked out and announced loudly at the door, “Ms. Xiao, Rouxue would be so happy if she knew you accepted the cake!”

Her voice was so loud that even the crew members still dismantling the set outside could hear it clearly. If this got out, it would undoubtedly stir up a storm.

Xiao Yanjin smirked coldly.

Just then, Qu Yanran walked in, sweating profusely. “Madam Ji, I got the milk tea you asked for.”

Spotting the small cake nearby, the sweet-toothed Qu Yanran immediately brightened up.

“Oh, there’s cake!”

“Do you want some?” Xiao Yanjin asked, feigning kindness.

Qu Yanran hesitated. “This must have been bought for you by Young Madam Ji. How could I take it?”

“It’s fine. My treat.”

Without another word, Qu Yanran unwrapped the packaging, practically drooling at the sight. “Thank you, Madam Ji! Wow, this cake looks delicious, it even has a heart decoration!”

Xiao Yanjin’s eyebrow twitched.

The makeup artist chuckled. “Madam Ji is truly captivating. Back during the talent show, my younger sister even voted for you.”

The implication was obvious.

Qu Yanran had only eaten half when Xiao Yanjin finished removing her makeup.

Xiao Yanjin raised a brow. “Can’t finish it?”

Qu Yanran nodded.

Xiao Yanjin immediately picked up the cake and headed straight for Mu Rouxue’s dressing room. Qu Yanran, still dazed, hurried after her.

To her shock, Xiao Yanjin kicked open the dressing room door—thud—and splattered cream all over Ye Yue’er, who stared at Xiao Yanjin in horror. Mu Rouxue, standing nearby, also paled in fright.

Hearing the commotion, Director Gu rushed over. “What’s going on?”

Xiao Yanjin crossed her arms, her eyes devoid of emotion, cold as a machine. “So sorry. My assistant said your cake was delicious, so I brought the half she ate for you to try. Unfortunately…” She glanced at Ye Yue’er. “This assistant was so insistent on refusing that she ended up covered in cream herself.”

Mu Rouxue frowned.

Director Gu quickly intervened. “Aiyo, Madam Ji, what’s the matter? Can’t we talk this out?”

And here it was, just one day in, and these two were already clashing!

Xiao Yanjin stood with righteous indignation, nodding slightly as she said, “It’s nothing serious, just some people being presumptuous. As a married alpha, I never accept gifts sent privately by Omegas, Director Gu knows this well. And please address me as Mrs. Ji! Miss Mu, you should learn some self-respect. Some people aren’t to be trifled with.”

As an alpha, upholding moral integrity was Xiao Yanjin’s principle not just for alphas, but as a basic human virtue.

“Don’t try any underhanded tricks with me. I won’t fall for that!”

Qu Yanran trembled slightly as she followed Xiao Yanjin out. Back when Chasing Dreams, Girls! was at its peak popularity, she had been a fan who voted countless times for the Omega contestants.

Though she had no interest in alphas, she remembered Xiao Yanjin had never formed any romantic pairings with Omegas except for her own Omega partner.

There had even been a few Omegas who deliberately tried to get close to her for screen time, but Xiao Yanjin remained indifferent, preferring to bond with fellow alphas instead. Fans had jokingly called her the “Universe’s Straightest Alpha.”

Ying Yanyan once told her, “Mrs. Ji may seem warm and friendly to everyone, but compared to the Young Miss Ji, that warmth feels almost cold. She can argue, criticize, and confront anyone except in front of Young Miss Ji, where she bends her back, all smiles, never daring to contradict her.”

Qu Yanran had also witnessed Mrs. Ji cooing over the phone to Young Miss Ji, spouting cheesy lines like “I miss you so much I can’t sleep.”

So the “Promise Couple” really was as sweet as the rumors said.

Qu Yanran smiled quietly to herself. Another day, another dose of public affection.

As the alpha’s figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Mu Rouxue’s gaze lingered before she finally let out a faint sigh.

Ye Yue’er frowned. “What’s with Xiao Yanjin’s act? She used to be a notorious playgirl alpha. I refuse to believe she isn’t tempted by young, beautiful Omegas. She’s just scared of the Ji family’s influence, that’s why she didn’t dare accept your cake.”

A shadow flickered in the Omega’s eyes. “No matter. There’s always another day.”

The scorching heat of midsummer was unbearable.

Xiao Yanjin soon arrived at the mountain retreat on the outskirts of Lánchéng.

Stepping out of the car, she was greeted by the evening glow and a surprisingly cool mountain breeze.

The surrounding hills were lush with forests, dotted with dozens of jasmine trees, perfect for springtime outings.

The entire villa complex had been reserved by the Ji family. In the courtyard lay a pristine blue swimming pool.

This was where Ji Yunuo had learned to swim secluded, with high walls ensuring no paparazzi could sneak in for photos.

Back in her childhood, aside from the caretaker Wei Qin and the nanny, she had often been here alone, enjoying the solitude. Now, everyone else had left, leaving only Xiao Yanjin her wife.

Following Ji Yunuo’s directions, Xiao Yanjin passed through a living room and soon reached the poolside.

Ji Yunuo was still soaking in the warm water, having been there for quite some time.

The moment she spotted Xiao Yanjin, she shook her damp hair and pulled herself up along the railing, her long, pale legs glistening as she stepped out.

She was only about four months into her pregnancy, her belly barely showing. Without close inspection, one wouldn’t even notice. Her skin remained taut and smooth, with the faintest hint of toned abs.

Even at five months, she could probably still hide it under a loose sweatshirt.

Xiao Yanjin frowned slightly, picking up a clean towel from the deck chair and wrapping it around her. “The floor is slippery. What if you fall?”

Ji Yunuo smiled, knowing Xiao Yanjin would say exactly that. She leaned her head against her shoulder, playfully cooing, “But you’re here now. With you around, why would I worry about slipping?”

Xiao Yanjin gently tapped her chin, then let her gaze drift downward.

Taking a deep breath, she noted how Ji Yunuo’s bikini only accentuated her flawless figure. Tsk, this woman clearly didn’t realize such outfits delivered a lethal visual impact.
