Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 11

Chapter 11: CEO Yue, Beautiful and Bold

Just like Lin Zhixi and the others, Yue Lei was also flustered by the phrase “call me wifey.”

She knew that in this life and her previous one, she had only ever considered one person to be her wife, the one she would spend her life with.

But the viewer count in the top right corner was real, and countless eyes were on her right now.

Yue Lei was a practical person.

She was currently very poor, and this mysterious Z had put a solid 10,000 yuan in her pocket. It would be crazy not to accept it.

After a slight mental shift, Yue Lei let go of her psychological burden.

She raised her beer towards the camera, clinked it, and shamelessly lifted her red lips. “Thank you, Wifey ZZ. Wifey ZZ is so good to me.

I bet you’re a new streamer on Qingyin just like me. You haven’t even followed me yet but you’re already sending such a big gift. Wifey ZZ, could you please follow me and light up my fan badge?

That way, I’ll be at the very top of your list, pinned.”

As long as she added “ZZ” before the word “wifey,” she could trick herself into thinking she wasn’t calling Xuexue that.

While doing her best to be a good streamer, Yue Lei thought to herself, “Thank goodness I’m not married to Xuexue in this life yet, or I wouldn’t know what to do right now…”

However, she did regret telling Mo Yingxue her ID now.

The thought that Mo Yingxue might also be in the live stream made her feel very scared.

She was afraid that Mo Yingxue would narrow her eyes and show a mocking expression because she had bowed her head for money.

She was also afraid that Mo Yingxue didn’t care about her at all and would just have a nonchalant expression upon hearing those words, not feeling jealous in the slightest.

Fortunately, Lin Zhixi and the others were very understanding and quickly sent new paid comments to push Z’s message down.

Richie Rich Passing By: “Oh, I just realized I haven’t followed you either. Gosh, I was so mesmerized by CEO Yue’s face as soon as I came in. Everyone, check what you’ve missed. See who hasn’t followed yet!]”

Thunderclap 1: “It’s so lively now. Can you start a PK so we can learn something? I’ve never seen you do a PK before. I wonder if there will be a show.”

Mainly for the Company: “Yeah, yeah, when you’re live, do a good job. You can seriously read after you go offline. It’s a little boring now.”

Yue Lei was inwardly thrilled.

PKs were always the best way for a streamer to make money. Lin Zhixi and the others could definitely use this opportunity to send a lot of coins.

And once a PK started, everyone’s attention would be diverted, so she wouldn’t have to worry about Miss Z’s “love vote.”

Yue Lei smoothed her hair and closed her book, putting it aside.

Her slender fingers tapped nimbly on the marble surface of the balcony, as if playing a nameless tune.

She smiled casually at the camera. “Since everyone wants to see it, let’s start a PK and see. But let me say this first, this is my first time streaming today, and I haven’t prepared anything.”

“If I lose a PK and the other side asks me to dance or sing, I might be terrible. Don’t unfollow me then. You still have to protect me, okay?”

Although she had said she didn’t want to treat streaming as a stressful task, now that she was live, she naturally got into it and enjoyed the process.

The viewers’ comments of encouragement and support came at the perfect time.

Some were familiar IDs that were clearly accounts operated by Lin Zhixi and the others.

But more were genuine passersby. Seeing that their emotions were also stirred up made Yue Lei feel an indescribable excitement.

This feeling was the same as when Yue Lei earned her first million in her previous life, bought her first luxury car, and got the key to her first house.

They were all milestones that filled the blank spaces in her life.

If she had known that being a streamer herself was this fun, Yue Lei would have put all her resources on herself in her previous life.

She wouldn’t have supported some idiotic streamers who dared to cross legal boundaries and drag everyone down with them.

Her gaze caught the message Z: “Do the PK. I have votes.” Yue Lei couldn’t help but curl her lips.

It would be even better if the viewers didn’t call it a “love vote.”

Her eyes showed a mixture of anticipation and fear of the unknown risk. “I don’t know any big streamers, so let’s do a random PK first.”

Before long, the PK was connected.

On the other side was a man who wore sunglasses indoors, had slicked-back hair, a greasy face, and a menacing look. He looked very unapproachable.

Seeing that she was a woman sitting on a balcony enjoying the breeze, he shook his leg even more aggressively.

His eyes, squeezed into his face, lecherously looked her up and down. “Haha, brothers, it’s a big beauty! My luck is so good today!

Little sister, what do you have to do if you lose? Can you stand up and show off your figure by doing squats? If you can, let’s play.”

Yue Lei detested these ugly men who looked like wild boars.

All the softness that had been stirred up by her viewers just now turned to dust.

She let out a cold snort and turned on her mic mercilessly. “People who look this abstract can stream now? It’s redundant for a boar to wear sunglasses indoors.

If I look at you for one more second, my eyes will get a sty.

Qingyin Live, stop recommending these fake people to me. Change the person now.”

Without waiting for the other side to reply, Yue Lei completed a series of actions: muting, blacklisting, and switching PK opponents.

In her previous life, she had set a rule for the streamers under her: never willingly or passively accept malice from the internet for the sake of traffic.

Being flirted with by that vulgar, sunglasses-wearing boar-like man just now would have been the most effective way to stir up anger and a desire to protect from the viewers, making them voluntarily send votes.

But in her previous life, Yue Lei didn’t let her streamers play with such people, and now she wouldn’t use that method to get attention herself.

The viewers saw that she had entered the PK queue and were now replaying the scene.

Some were sending her gifts to praise her courage, some were secretly observing the battle and reporting back that the other person was furious.

There were also some who were clearly from the boar man’s side, using foul language to curse her for not being a good sport.

This caused even more arguments, and Lin Zhixi and the others couldn’t keep up with muting them.

Z: “Play with him. You won’t lose. (Paid comment)”

Miss Z’s message, filled with the scent of money, suddenly floated on the main page, giving Yue Lei a lot of confidence and courage.

Her heart warmed. She raised her hand and made a rectangle shape in the air. “Thank you, Wifey ZZ. I know you have votes, but the PK has a split screen. I really don’t want that ugly person’s face to be here. I’m afraid the ugly genes will crawl onto my face through the internet.”

While laughing, Yue Lei really shivered.

There was no way around it; she had a physical aversion to that boar.

Yue Lei took a drink of water, embarrassed. “No more fighting, babies. I’m sending a red envelope. If others don’t respect us, we don’t have to be nice to them. Let’s wait for the next PK.”

When the viewers claimed the red envelope, they would automatically follow the streamer and refresh with a message “CEO Yue, beautiful and bold” in the comment section.

Soon, the comments from the troublemakers from the other side were completely gone.

What was even funnier was that many people who were just cursing her for not being a good sport were now her viewers, repeating her name.

Before long, the PK queue ended.

This time, the opponent was a clean and fresh-looking girl dressed as a middle school student.

She was holding a textbook and wearing a school uniform. She was a pleasant sight.

Yue Lei looked at her ID, her eyes curved, and she said very friendly, “Songguo Paopao, do you have time to do a PK with me?”

“Okay, CEO Yue.” Songguo Paopao read her ID and couldn’t help but laugh. “Hahaha, that’s so weird. Such a dominant name, but it’s a gentle and soft big sister. I was so scared when we connected just now, afraid I’d run into some internet CEO.”

Unlike her wife, Yue Lei had no artistic sense.

For many years, when registering on various platforms, she would just enter her full name, “Yue Lei.”

The name “CEO Yue” was something she came up with on the fly before going live, thinking that if she used her real name, she might get doxed.

She was so used to being called that in her previous life that she didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

But now, Songguo Paopao made her feel a little insecure.

Z: “Tell her that women can be CEOs too. (Paid comment)”

Her gaze swept over the message, and Yue Lei immediately found her confidence again.

Yue Lei put on a righteous expression. “Songguo Paopao, that’s a stereotype.

There are all kinds of Paopaos in the world, and there are also all kinds of CEOs.

Not all CEOs are the type with ice-cold poker faces from novels. There are also types like me, who are gentle, considerate, beautiful, and generous.”

Who would have thought that these words would hit Songguo Paopao’s funny bone? She laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back and was almost off-screen.

This made Yue Lei even more embarrassed.

She immediately got angry out of shame. “Songguo Paopao, are you playing or not! My rules are simple. The loser performs a talent!”

Songguo Paopao finally had enough of laughing and recovered. “Let’s play. Since we’re live, we have to play. Let’s do as you said. We’ll be peaceful.”

The PK began, and both sides muted their mics to get votes.

Yue Lei had observed that Songguo Paopao’s online viewer count wasn’t high, and she didn’t have any prominent big spenders on her gift list.

With her six fake accounts, she could easily win.

But she didn’t want to bully a kid too much, so she hinted, “This is our first time playing a PK, so let’s be flexible.

One little red flower each. Try your best not to let me lose too badly, but if you can win, try to win.”

So, the blood bars of both sides were like a tug-of-war. When one side went up a little, the other would pull it back.

For the five-minute PK, the gifts were sent very steadily, and the blood bars were almost always one to one.

As the PK was about to end, Yue Lei was 1,000 points ahead of Songguo Paopao.

She had already chosen a song in her mind.

But before she could even be happy, the evenly matched blood bar was instantly beaten down to a sliver.

Yue Lei had forgotten to tell Lin Zhixi and the others to defend the tower at the end of the PK. She watched as Songguo Paopao called in a big spender to send votes.

Looking at the gray “defeat” on the screen, Yue Lei’s smile froze on her face.
