Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: If You’re Going to Live Off Me, You Have to Listen.

Mumu Hard Candy’s eyes were almost rolling into the back of his head.

He picked up his phone and reluctantly walked to the bathroom, mumbling, “I lost, so I have to remove my makeup. So what? What’s so great about winning a PK? What kind of skill is it to just steal wins?”

But Yue Lei wasn’t having any of it.

She sneered, “I didn’t steal this win. If I remember correctly, my score was higher than yours the whole time. You just failed to steal the win in the end. I have a screen recording. If you have a bad memory, I can edit it and send it to you later.”

The viewers who were so angry at Mumu Hard Candy that they wanted to curse were now satisfied again.

“Exactly, exactly. He’s the one starting trouble, and there are even traitors from his side mixed in here.”

“It’s just ridiculous. He’s here to do a PK. The winner isn’t a big deal, but the loser is the dad? What a loser.”

“I hate people who lose and just complain and complain and don’t do the punishment. Make him remove his makeup, turn off his beauty filter, and move on!”

Yue Lei hummed and added, “Yes, the loser has to remove their makeup and turn off their beauty filter.”

Mumu Hard Candy, who was halfway through washing his face, looked up and argued, “That’s too much! We only did one PK, so why are there two punishments?”

Now, he had nothing to do with a pure, innocent boy. He was full of hostility and looked like an aggressive man.

Yue Lei was annoyed by his appearance: “You can remove your makeup first. If the foam gets in your mouth later, you’ll blame me again.”

Mumu Hard Candy was taken aback by her words and lowered his head to continue washing his face.

But after he finished, he started to apply skincare products while stubbornly arguing, “I’ve removed my makeup, but there’s no way I’m turning off the beauty filter. If I turn it off, we have to do another round.”

This was just pure nonsense.

The last round had already shown that he couldn’t get any more votes than he did. Asking for another round was just to provoke the audience’s anger and get more money.

After he removed his makeup, all of Mumu Hard Candy’s masculine features were exposed. With his acne-prone skin and unreasonable, hateful face, Yue Lei felt more and more disgusted.

She pulled down the corner of her eye, stuck out her tongue, and made a face at him, sneering, “I’m not doing it. You don’t have the strength.”

Yue Lei quickly ended the voice call, and the comments followed with cheers.

“I knew following CEO Yue would be great. A beautiful woman doesn’t play with ugly people!”

“No way, guys, the person on the other side is a man! I knew he looked weird. Normally, those pure and innocent types are so lovable, but that ‘Candy’ guy could only be described as ‘decent-looking.’ His demeanor was also so affected. What girl walks with her legs squeezed together?”

“He really got away with it. He didn’t turn off his beauty filter. So annoying!”

“It’s fine that he didn’t turn it off. His original skin already looks like that. If he turned off the beauty filter, I’m afraid the moderators would remove him for a public nuisance.”

“The main reason I’m not playing with him is that he’s too competitive,” Yue Lei said, not wanting to get into the details of the live streaming industry.

She spread her hands helplessly: “He should be called ‘Chewing Gum’ instead of ‘Hard Candy.’ If he loses, he wants to keep fighting. If he keeps losing, we’ll spend all our time on him today. I still want to continue our makeup challenge.”

Z: “Doing three makeup looks in one day isn’t good for your skin. How can you get off the stream earlier? (Paid comment)”

In the midst of the crowd’s excitement, Miss Z was still concerned about her skin. Yue Lei’s heart warmed.

She curled her lips and made a heart shape with her hands toward the camera: “It’s okay. My good skin is natural! This is the only time I’ll do a makeup theme for a while. Since I’ve decided to do three makeup looks, let’s do a good job of it.”

The dark brown foundation was difficult to remove. Yue Lei chatted with everyone while removing it, and she also reviewed the new makeup remover products she had bought.

The process for the second makeup look was the same as before.

First, she started a one-minute poll and then filled the wheel according to the results to draw the colors.

The PK just now had put her in the top fifty of the entire platform, and thousands of people had poured into her live stream.

There were over 3,500 people who participated in the poll!

The viewers seemed to be tired of her dark skin.

This time, the votes were almost entirely concentrated in the shades between the lightest and normal skin tones. Even the pure chaos-seekers didn’t want to vote for dark skin anymore.

In this situation, Yue Lei was very lucky to get a foundation that was one shade lighter than the one she normally used.

This time, she also got light gray eyebrow powder, red contour, pink and purple eyeshadow, and black lipstick.

Looking at the poll results, Yue Lei rested her hand on her chin: “This doesn’t seem very challenging. It all looks pretty normal.”

Sakura: “Sent ‘Manor Castle’ X3”

Sakura: “I’ve been holding back, but I can’t anymore! Do you want to try my original character’s impressionistic makeup now? It fits so well, Mom! (Paid comment)”

“Sounds good,” Yue Lei’s eyes lit up. “I remember she’s a vampire demon hunter, right? Let me take another look at the picture you sent.”

Sakura was so excited that she jumped back on the voice call and enthusiastically talked to her about the makeup details.

In the private theater downstairs, Mo Yingxue slightly pursed her lips. Her dark eyes looked even calmer in the dim room.

She asked Yue Lei to get off the stream earlier, but she said no.

Sakura asked Yue Lei to do the makeup she wanted, and she happily agreed…

Had she given her too much freedom?

Yue Lei didn’t notice that Miss Z was in a huff.

The more she talked to Sakura, the more excited she got, and her understanding of the makeup look quickly grew.

She searched for some gothic makeup tutorials and combined them with others’ makeup designs, expressing her ideas bit by bit in front of the mirror.

While doing her makeup, Yue Lei looked at the compliments from the viewers.

They said she was a makeup artist and that she was using her beautiful body as a canvas. The compliments were so over the top that it made her feel a little giddy.

Yue Lei had to think back to the almost miraculous paintings that Mo Yingxue had shown her in her previous life.

Compared to her wife, what she was doing was nothing.

Soon, Yue Lei finished her makeup and showed it to the camera.

Compared to the Jojo-style makeup she did before, this was a whole new feeling.

“So beautiful, so beautiful. The eye makeup is so pretty. The streamer’s facial features were covered up just now, but now I realize that this slightly upward-slanted eye shape is so cold and glamorous!”

“Oh my god, how can one person’s face be so versatile? Just now, she was a wild and uninhibited American leopard, and now she’s a little widow who makes me feel sorry for her!”

“I always feel like CEO Yue has some unique insight into vampires. It’s so gloomy, I love it… Wife, I want to follow you forever!”

“Mom no longer has to worry about my lipstick not making my skin look fair. I just watched CEO Yue’s black lipstick go on her lips, and the rest of her face turned into a reflector. Her aura is so strong, so cool. I’m going to wear black lipstick when I go out from now on.”

Sakura: “Sent ‘Happy Occasions’ X1”

Sakura: “Sent ‘Sports Car’ X3”

Sakura: “Sent ‘Romantic Full House’ X1”

Sakura: “Ahhhh, it’s so accurate! Just that look she gave me like she’s looking at a dog! More! (Paid comment)”

The live stream was full of joy, and Yue Lei was happy to see them praise her.

After she had thanked all the gifts, she realized that something was missing.

Where was Miss Z? Why was she just lurking in the live stream and not saying anything!

Yue Lei was more satisfied with this makeup look than the dark-skinned one.

In her previous life, she always wore this kind of makeup with a strong aura, just not as exaggerated as today. Now she was back in her comfort zone.

Yue Lei looked at the time. It was almost dinner time.

Maybe Miss Z had gone to eat and wasn’t watching the live stream right now.

This kind of look wasn’t something she did every day, and it would be a shame to miss it.

Yue Lei thought for a moment and took a lot of photos and videos. In the midst of all the busyness, she secretly chose two and sent them to Miss Z.

Her eyes skimmed over Xiao Xue’s name at the top, and Yue Lei also sent her a copy.

After thinking about it, she felt it wasn’t enough, so she sent the dark-skinned photos from earlier as well.

Mo Yingxue’s irritable mood was interrupted by the dinging sounds from the two phones in front of her.

She opened them and looked. Her frown finally disappeared.

Z: I was busy just now. You look very good like this. How should we choose the next makeup look? (Paid comment)”

Yue Lei rested her finger on her chin and thought for a moment: “I don’t know. How about we just give it to the number one on the leaderboard?”

When she said this, the viewers started to get excited again.

“Hahahaha, I bet Miss Z is looking at the leaderboard right now. You don’t have to look! Whether it’s today’s or the cumulative gift leaderboard, you’ve sent the most gifts! What does ten ‘Ten Thousand Lights’ gifts mean? It’s equivalent to a small streamer’s income for a year!”

“It’s over. We’ve become part of the ‘top supporter and female streamer’ play! I can only wipe my tears and say: It looks good, I love it!”

“No wonder Miss Z didn’t say anything just now. She was waiting here. This answer is so sweet. Are you satisfied?”

Sakura: If it was before CEO Yue did this makeup look, I would’ve fought for the top spot. But now, this makeup look is the one I’m most satisfied with. I don’t have any other ideas for now. I’ll reluctantly give it to you this time. (Paid comment)”

Yue Lei put her hands on her face, making a blooming flower shape.

She blinked at the camera, intentionally seducing it: “Miss Z, have you decided? What kind of me do you want to see?”

Z: Do a more mature one. What would you look like if you were thirty years old? (Paid comment)”

Yue Lei had never heard of this kind of request. Her smile froze on her face, and her expression was blank.

Even if someone was interested in what she would look like when she was older, they would probably want to see a sixty or seventy-year-old look, like a special effects makeup look.

It took her a while to react: “Are you serious about thirty years old? What if I take good care of myself and look the same at thirty as I do now?”

Was Miss Z already thirty years old and wanted to compare herself to her?

Or was she a fan of older women and just naturally liked mature and reliable women?

Z: “Just try it. (Paid comment)”

Z: “Sent ‘Ten Thousand Lights’ X1”

“Since Wifey ZZ said so, then I’ll just try it and die trying,” Yue Lei said, and she went to remove her makeup again.

After applying her skincare products, she sat at the table, her beautiful eyes scanning the makeup products. She finally picked out the ones she used most often in her previous life.

This makeup look was the one she was most comfortable with. In less than ten minutes, Yue Lei was already wearing a full face of makeup.

She looked in the mirror and then took out a light-colored eyebrow pencil, drawing on some laugh lines and crow’s feet that were almost unnoticeable.

For a moment, Yue Lei even felt like she was back before her transmigration.

She looked just like this on the day she and her wife peacefully divorced.

Z: “Add a mole to the right side of your lower lip. (Paid comment)”

“What? Is it like this?” Yue Lei took out her lip liner, half-believing, and put a light mark on the location she mentioned.

In the next second, she froze on the spot, her eyes feeling a little sore.

This mark was a little too ambiguous.

In her previous life, when she came home drunk and saw Mo Yingxue sleeping, curled up in a cute ball, she couldn’t help but kiss her forcefully, which startled her and caused her to bite her lip.

After that, she was left with this mark, which you couldn’t see unless you looked closely.

“Oh my god, Miss Z’s aesthetic is amazing. A small mole on a woman’s lip looks so kissable! I watch your live stream and no one else’s. You’re definitely in my heart. Come on, give me a kiss!”

“No way, I didn’t even understand what Miss Z’s comment meant, but CEO Yue just drew it on? You two have amazing chemistry! A two-way street!”

“I won’t say who’s turned on, hehehe… CEO Yue is a beautiful woman who can be a ‘big sister’ or a ‘little sister’ and is wonderful either way.”

The discussions from the viewers diluted the sadness in Yue Lei’s heart. She looked at the camera and showed off a little: “I think it looks good too. Do you like it, Wifey ZZ?”

Z: “Mhm. (Paid comment)”

Although her answer was very cold, as long as Yue Lei knew she was watching, she felt very at ease.

It was like a friend from a distance who was watching her grow up.

She had done a lot of things today, and she didn’t want to do a PK anymore, so she just chatted with the viewers for a while.

When Xiao Xue sent her a message asking when she was going to eat dinner, Yue Lei waved at the camera without any hesitation: “That’s it for today’s live stream. See you all next time!”

Wang Ma wasn’t home, and Yue Lei and Mo Yingxue had no intention of cooking. They decided to go out to a restaurant.

During dinner, Yue Lei clearly felt Xiao Xue’s eyes constantly on her face.

Remembering that Xiao Xue hadn’t watched her live stream today, she decided to tease her.

Yue Lei looked at her directly and asked with a smile, “Xiao Xue, can you tell what’s different about me today?”

Xiao Xue looked at her face for a moment: “Sister, you’re wearing makeup.”

Yue Lei: “You’re an art major. Can you tell where I’ve put on makeup?”

Xiao Xue covered her mouth and chuckled: “You’re wearing everyday makeup when you went out, not the same as the photos you sent me. But Sister, your makeup skills seem a bit bad. You made yourself look older.”

Yue Lei scoffed: “You don’t understand. This was a request from a viewer. Maybe this style is in fashion now.”

Because Mo Yingxue hadn’t watched her live stream, she was able to ask her these questions to build suspense, otherwise, there would be no mystery at all.

She was just feeling proud when she saw Xiao Xue point to her own lips, her eyes staring at her: “This looks good.”

It was just a simple gesture, but it ignited a wicked desire in Yue Lei. She really wanted to kiss her.

Just then, the soup was served.

She pretended that nothing had happened and first served a bowl to Mo Yingxue.

Then she served one for herself, lowered her head, and ate it with a small white porcelain spoon, one spoonful at a time.

She felt guilty, so she was very silent afterward, not knowing what to say.

When the two of them were together, Yue Lei was usually the more enthusiastic one. When she stopped talking, there was only silence.

After dinner, although she wanted to stay with Xiao Xue for a little longer, Yue Lei couldn’t find a reason to.

In their previous life, they were just stuck together. In this life, she was too shy to make a move, so she couldn’t even eat a “forced” melon.

Yue Lei was holding her bag and hailing a taxi, feeling sentimental. The night seemed to cover her with a kind of indescribable coldness.

Suddenly, she felt her arm being tugged.

After eating her fill, Mo Yingxue exuded a warm sense of contentment. She looked more like a college student now.

She held Yue Lei’s arm as if she didn’t want to let go, her eyes pleading: “Sister, let’s walk back. We don’t need a taxi.”

The person she liked was leaning half of her weight on her, which made Yue Lei so flustered that she couldn’t even form a complete sentence. She had no choice but to move her bag to her other hand and give her that side of her arm.

The two of their shadows were stretched long by the streetlights,贴ing tightly together.

A cool night breeze blew.

Yue Lei turned her head to look at the girl’s smooth forehead and asked softly, “Xiao Xue, did you realize I was in a bad place back then?”

Mo Yingxue: “What?”

Yue Lei smiled helplessly: “I mean the first time we met. My company went bankrupt, and I was walking on the street with a suitcase, but I actually had nowhere to go.”

Mo Yingxue looked at her steadily, then shook her head with a smile: “No. I just thought you were beautiful and wanted to put you in a painting.”

That area was a university town. There were so many beautiful and young people. Her looks weren’t the most outstanding.

Yue Lei’s heart warmed: “I still have to thank you. Otherwise, I might be doing hard labor somewhere right now.”

“So now that you can make money from live streaming, are you going to quit?” The force with which Mo Yingxue was pulling on her sleeve suddenly increased, and Yue Lei almost lost her balance.
