Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: How Can I Get Off the Stream Early?

Sakura, whose real name was Ji Baoying, was a third-generation rich kid and a two-dimensional culture enthusiast who had been confined to her home for many years due to illness.

Her hobbies were creating original character designs.

She would either browse for artists on apps to commission or spend money on Qingyin Live to find beautiful women and commission them for cosplay.

She was passionate about bringing her original character, Zhang Jenny, a vampire demon hunter who lived in a Beijing courtyard and would open a door to cross over to other countries every night to fight for justice, to life.

But so far, Ji Baoying had commissioned several beautiful streamers.

The videos and photos she got were not quite like the Zhang Jenny she had imagined.

Either the photoshopping was too exaggerated, and the person in the photos was completely different from the one in the live stream.

Or they couldn’t fully express Zhang Jenny’s arrogance, beauty, conceit, and the innocent naivety of someone who had lived for thousands of years.

The last time she spent a lot of money to get a female streamer to do a cosplay video, the streamer was wearing the custom-made clothes and wiggling her waist, trying to be suggestive, while sticking out her tongue and acting cute…

That was something Zhang Jenny would never do. Ji Baoying was so horrified by the character assassination that she almost threw her phone away.

She had developed a fear of real people and had completely given up on the idea of finding a substitute online.

She had started investing in doll companies, trying to commission a life-sized silicone doll of Zhang Jenny.

But today, when she was about to uninstall Qingyin Live, she accidentally clicked on it and saw CEO Yue’s live stream in a small corner.

At the time, the live stream cover hadn’t been updated, and it was Yue Lei’s plain, no-makeup look from when she first started the stream.

She was particularly inconspicuous among the other female streamers who were wearing heavy makeup and were meticulously dressed up.

But Ji Baoying was immediately captivated by that face.

This woman had a kind of bold and unrestrained beauty.

The shallow smile on the cover also gave Ji Baoying a sense of an inscrutable, deep, and mysterious stillness.

Ji Baoying, in a strange impulse, clicked on it and was immediately captivated by this woman with wheat-colored skin and a bold and uninhibited demeanor.

Her Zhang Jenny would also get a tan to hide her vampire identity!

The more Ji Baoying watched, the more amazed she was. The arrogance and self-assurance in CEO Yue’s eyes were exactly the same as the Zhang Jenny in her heart.

So, she instantly forgot about her decision not to spend money on live streams and directly scrolled to the bottom, throwing out the most expensive “Ten Thousand Lights” gift.

To her surprise, the atmosphere in this live stream was also very good.

The top supporter didn’t scoff at her for taking her thunder, and the other viewers were very gracious while watching the show, showering her with praise.

After being there for a short time, Ji Baoying felt like she was home and had a great time with everyone.

What surprised her even more was CEO Yue’s attitude. It wasn’t overly intimate, but it was enthusiastic enough.

After she made her request during the voice call, Yue Lei readily accepted the commission.

This made Ji Baoying feel even more at ease.

So when Miss Z asked her to get on the leaderboard during the PK, Ji Baoying agreed without much thought.

She was watching a live stream to get some emotional value, and she had gotten plenty here, so she was happy to spend the money.

Ji Baoying almost intentionally kept her gift total just above Mumu Hard Candy’s.

If he sent 500 gifts, she would send 520.

If he sent 1000 gifts, she would send 1314.

She would just barely stay ahead, but not by too much, giving the other side the illusion that they could catch up. It was like she was playing a thrilling cat-and-mouse game on behalf of Zhang Jenny.

With only half a minute left in the PK, Ji Baoying stopped selecting gifts and sent a comment instead.

Sakura: “It’s your turn @Z”

After putting down the mouse, Ji Baoying realized that her heart was beating exceptionally fast.

It had been a long time since she had been this excited.

On the other side, looking at the close race, Yue Lei was also sweating.

“The other side is definitely going to try to steal the win, but I don’t know how strong he is. Babies, follow Sakura and Miss Z’s pace. In the last few seconds, send your gifts too to widen the gap.”

Right now, she had a little more than a two-thousand-point lead over the other side, but just two sports cars could close that gap.

So the psychological pressure and the financial pressure were both very high.

But there was no movement from Miss Z. She could only see the small gifts everyone was sending.

Yue Lei couldn’t help but nervously clench her hands.

In the last three seconds, the ‘Ten Thousand Lights’ gift with its magnificent effect and a crowd of people appeared on the right side of the split screen, and her health bar was instantly reduced by a small section.

Mumu Hard Candy had already started making a heart shape with his hands toward the screen, showing a triumphant smile of a sure winner.

But in the next second, the same effect appeared on Yue Lei’s side.

And the health bar above their heads was crushed.

127449:32560.

Yue Lei’s score was four times that of Mumu Hard Candy!

Yue Lei felt like she had just been fished out of the water, her palms were sweaty: “Ah! Wifey ZZ, who taught you to use ten ‘Ten Thousand Lights’ gifts to defend the tower? It’s such a waste!”

“This is called strength! Our Miss Z will never fail to defend the tower again, so everyone knows!”

“No wonder Miss Z suggested a PK. She already had the money ready. It’s all the streamer’s fault for not working, otherwise, these coins wouldn’t have learned to reproduce.”

“Miss Z, don’t spoil her too much. Look at her arrogant lips. They’re about to reach the sky. CEO Yue is happy again, aren’t you!”

“I have a small account in his live stream. The other side is so mad that he’s even cursing his top supporter. It’s so funny.”

Sakura: “Ahhh! I was so nervous. I was ready to keep going, but I’m glad I saw the effect on our side! We won so coolly!”

Z: “I don’t know what the other side would’ve used to defend the tower. I’m glad we didn’t lose. (Paid comment)”

When she saw this comment, Yue Lei’s mood finally calmed down.

She felt like she could almost picture Miss Z’s proud and reserved expression.

For some reason, the image she was picturing seemed a little familiar.

Without thinking about who that person was, Yue Lei gently smiled: “You guys are amazing! We won this round so, so beautifully! Thank you, Wifey ZZ, thank you, Queen Sakura, thank you to everyone who’s just watching and not spending, thank you…”

After both sides finished thanking their gift lists, it was time for the main event.

Mumu Hard Candy was beating around the bush, not willing to speak. He was just playing dumb, trying to get away with it.

But according to the “spy,” he wasn’t like this when he won a PK. He would bully the other streamers until they cried multiple times, and some even quit streaming after being forced to remove their makeup.

The number on the top right of Mumu Hard Candy’s homepage was his record, and now he had more than three hundred people.

So she definitely couldn’t let him off the hook. Yue Lei rested her hands on her chin.

Her expression seemed friendly, but her eyes were cold as she spoke: “Mumu Hard Candy, as you can see, you lost. What did we agree the loser would have to do? Don’t you remember?”
