Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 19
Chapter 19: Just Nervousness, No Guilt.
When Yue Lei got home, Mo Yingxue was curled up on the sofa watching an old movie. There were fruit slices and a milk tea in front of her.
The movie was playing, but her attention wasn’t on it. She looked absent-minded.
Yue Lei’s heart sank, and she cautiously greeted her: “Xiao Xue, I’m back! Should we change clothes and paint now? Or should I take a shower first?”
Mo Yingxue gave her a cold look, as if sulking: “We’re not painting. It took you too long to get back. We’ve already missed the best light.”
“But we started painting at about this time yesterday,” Yue Lei said, glancing at the time. “No, we started even later than this yesterday…”
Now she truly realized that Mo Yingxue was angry.
It was all her fault for being a busybody. Not only did she almost get herself into trouble, but she also ruined her wife’s mood for painting!
Yue Lei’s “calm down my wife” radar started screaming.
She immediately put down her things and quickly rushed to the sofa.
Yue Lei half-squatted down, her eyes level with Mo Yingxue’s.
Then, she grabbed the corner of her robe and tugged at it gently, blinking slowly at her like a cat, as if to say, “Xiao Xue, can we continue painting today? I’m really looking forward to it.”
While she was waiting for Yue Lei to come home, the fire in Mo Yingxue’s heart burned hotter and hotter. A terrible thought would flash through her mind, each one enough to burn her to ashes.
But when she saw her, the anger subsided by more than half.
Mo Yingxue didn’t respond and just pulled the corner of her robe back from Yue Lei’s hand.
She stared at Yue Lei with her moist, dark eyes, as if she wanted to look into her soul. “I’m not in the mood to paint. Sister, tell me where you went today?”
Sensing that her attitude had softened a little, Yue Lei dared to get up and sit on the sofa.
To be honest, her legs were a little numb from squatting.
But she couldn’t rudely shake her legs in front of her wife.
So she tried to control her body, subtly stretching her legs to relieve the numbness while answering: “I just went around the city by myself today. I didn’t have the chance before, but now I have money and free time. I mainly went to the North City Folk Culture Street, Zhenci Temple, and North City Second High School.”
To prove that she was telling the truth, Yue Lei took out her phone and generously showed her the photos in her album.
Mo Yingxue suddenly leaned in, resting her head on Yue Lei’s shoulder, and breathed into her ear: “You said you met a student who had fainted and helped her get to the hospital. You’re so kind-hearted. Was it a pretty girl?”
A warning bell rang in Yue Lei’s head. She shook her head like a rattle. “She had fainted! How could I have noticed that!”
Feeling like she had reacted too much, she waved her hand to cover up. “You didn’t see her. That girl was so skinny, she fainted from hunger, and she had scratches and cigarette burns on her arms. I don’t know if she was pretty, but she was definitely a problem child.”
Mo Yingxue hummed in response.
Yue Lei just breathed a sigh of relief when she asked again: “What’s her name? Since you helped her and stayed with her, you must know the name on her medical record.”
Even though she knew that Mo Yingxue in this life definitely didn’t know Zhao Zicheng, Yue Lei had mentioned the top money-making streamer of her company to her many times in her previous life.
Yue Lei and her wife didn’t have much in common, but she thought it was okay to show off her wealth.
So whenever the company’s live stream revenue reached a new high, she would deliberately bring it up.
Yue Lei felt a little guilty for a moment, but she also felt that there was no need to lie. “Something Zicheng… It was either Zhao Zicheng or Zhao Yicheng.”
When Mo Yingxue heard that name, her eyes became even colder.
But she didn’t show it on her face. She just slid down Yue Lei’s shoulder and onto her lap.
She rested her head on her thigh and said lazily, “Never mind, it’s not important. Her family must be even more worried. I’m so tired. Can I lie here for a while, Sister?”
Yue Lei was wearing an oversized T-shirt with denim shorts today, so Mo Yingxue was basically lying directly on her skin.
Her leg felt ticklish from Mo Yingxue’s hair, and her cheeks were a little warm as she reached for the remote control on the table: “Of course. I’ll turn off the movie sound.”
In her previous life, Yue Lei would often play a trick and ask Mo Yingxue to be her lap pillow. The chances of success were about fifty-fifty with the chances of getting an eye roll.
In this life, their roles had been reversed. She was the one being held down, but it made her feel even more flustered.
The Mo Yingxue with her eyes closed looked so well-behaved and adorable. Her skin was as soft as velvet, and her lips were soft with a light pink color…
To successfully resist the urge to kiss her, Yue Lei also closed her eyes.
Feeling that Yue Lei’s breathing had really become long and steady, Mo Yingxue carefully picked up her phone.
She tried Yue Lei’s birthday and immediately got the lock screen password right.
Mo Yingxue quickly scrolled through her contacts and new friends on her social media apps. After making sure that there was no such person as Zhao Zicheng, she truly breathed a sigh of relief.
In her plan, these two people shouldn’t have met.
Now that they had met, it should end there, and there should be no more contact.
As Mo Yingxue did these things, there was only nervousness in her heart, no guilt.
…
The next day.
Remembering that Mo Yingxue had nothing to do on Sunday, Yue Lei asked her at breakfast if she wanted to paint.
But the woman who had demanded that she come home immediately to be her model yesterday afternoon now chewed on her bacon and eggs and thought for several seconds. “We’ll see. I’m a little tired today. I don’t feel like using my brain.”
“Okay.” Yue Lei felt a little disappointed. After so long, she had only worked as a model once. The money she was getting felt too hot to handle!
Mo Yingxue looked up at her: “Sister, do you want to live stream today?”
That was a good way to pass the time. Yue Lei thought for a moment: “Then I’ll stream. I’ll do a makeup stream today. The packages I ordered have all arrived.”
Mo Yingxue thought for a moment and saw that the phone she used to contact Yue Lei was fully charged: “Then you can stream. I’ll watch TV in the private theater. I won’t make any noise to bother you.”
Yue Lei was surprised: “Xiao Xue, aren’t you going to watch my live stream? You can stay in my room and watch from a third-person perspective, as long as you don’t make any noise.”
As far as she knew, most people were curious about the live streaming profession. If they had the chance to watch, they definitely wouldn’t miss it.
When she first met Mo Yingxue in her previous life, she told her that she was the boss of a live streaming company, and she had come to visit a few times out of curiosity.
After she found out that she didn’t stream herself, she never came back.
She suddenly realized that asking this seemed like she was asking for gifts.
Yue Lei quickly added: “Xiao Xue, you can watch if you want, but you don’t have to send me gifts. Even if you see me losing a PK, don’t send any!
In this industry, you win some and you lose some. No one wins all the time. Being a graceful loser is how you get more fans and keep them loyal!”
But Mo Yingxue lowered her head, secretly laughing while looking at her. “I still feel a little embarrassed… Watching someone you know stream…”
Since she said that, Yue Lei also felt embarrassed. She wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment with her toes and move into it.
“You’re right. I think it’s weird too, haha.” After saying that, she immediately ran out to get her packages.
Before starting the stream, Yue Lei said hello to Lin Zhixi and the others, and then sent a message to Miss Z.
Since she was going to be taking money out of her pocket, Yue Lei deliberately made her message very sweet.
Yue Lei: “Wifey ZZ, I’m going to stream now. Are you free at 2 PM? I’ll be waiting for you on Qingyin Live! Kissing panda emoji”
Z: “Okay, I’ll come and watch you. Patting head emoji”
In the private theater downstairs, Mo Yingxue opened the Qingyin Live platform and entered Yue Lei’s live stream.
