Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: You Didn’t Just Hug Me, You Also Secretly Kissed Me, Right?

Mo Yingxue looked at her coldly: “Yue Lei, don’t you think what you just said is funny?”

This was the first time Yue Lei had seen that look of mockery and sarcasm on Mo Yingxue’s face in this life.

Every look stabbed her heart.

She opened her mouth several times but didn’t know what to say.

Finally, she just flushed, gave up, and said, “Yes, I took your picture without your permission and secretly hugged you. I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”

After saying that, Yue Lei pretended to be calm, flicked her sleeves, and left.

She left with a cool demeanor, but her heart sank.

She had done something wrong, and Mo Yingxue didn’t want her anymore…

Yue Lei felt her eyes burning and aching. She really wanted to cry.

But she tried to suppress those emotions and didn’t show them in front of Mo Yingxue.

She should have thought of this consequence when she took the photos. Crying now would only make her seem more hateful.

When she got back to her room, Yue Lei closed the door and her body softly slid onto the carpet, as if all her strength had been drained.

She looked around. The clean and spacious room, the comfortable and soft bed, and the prime location separated by only one wall from Mo Yingxue’s room. She had to say goodbye to all of it.

“Damn it, how could I be so bold!” Yue Lei couldn’t get mad at Mo Yingxue, so she was only mad at herself.

But she also knew in her heart that her desire to get close to her and protect her would not change.

If she had another chance, she would probably still take Mo Yingxue’s picture…

After a moment of frustration, Yue Lei got up: “Sigh, let’s start packing. If I go early, maybe the youth hostel won’t even have a room left.”

People really shouldn’t get cocky. In the morning, she was driving a car and showing off to Fang Dan how nice her employer was to her. Now all that was left was desolation.

On the other side, Mo Yingxue was watching the woman’s every move on the monitor.

Her chest felt sore.

Happy? Sad? Angry? It seemed like none of them fit…

When she saw Yue Lei take out her suitcase and start packing her clothes one by one, Mo Yingxue finally sensed that something was wrong.

She immediately wanted to go up and stop Yue Lei and tell her not to leave.

But her rationality stopped her from doing so.

To put a leash on a wild horse, you needed not only patience but also its love, so it would willingly submit.

She knew Yue Lei was a hedonist. She had given her bottomless joy before, but the final answer was disheartening.

So she had to put some pressure on her.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Yingxue took out another phone.

Yue Lei was originally able to hold back the urge to cry, but when she started packing her clothes, the painful feeling of being detached from this place almost drowned her.

When she heard her phone ring, it took her a while to react.

When she found out it wasn’t a message from Mo Yingxue, the little flame in her heart went out again.

Z: “Are you asleep?”

Yue Lei: “Not yet. What’s up?”

Curiosity diluted some of her sadness.

Yue Lei stared at her phone for a long, long time, unable to figure out why Ms. Z would look for her at three in the morning.

Z: “Did you take some cosplay photos for Sakura today?”

Yue Lei: “Oh, yes. How did you know?”

Z: “She posted a lot of show-off videos on various platforms. I just saw them after I finished working overtime.”

Yue Lei rubbed her eyes and opened the Qingsound live streaming app.

Just as she said, Sakura had carefully cut the half-hour of cosplay behind-the-scenes footage she sent her into several short videos.

After editing, she added various funny or fascinating storylines to them, and every one of them was eye-catching.

She never expected the videos she casually took would become so interesting. Yue Lei endured the shame and watched the videos one by one.

She had to say that Sakura really loved her cosplay.

She had paid to promote every video, as if she wanted everyone to see Yue Lei cosplaying her daughter, Zhenni Zhang.

Her own number of fans also grew, and although she hadn’t live-streamed for a week, her popularity didn’t decrease at all.

The success of her career finally brought a little joy to Yue Lei. Her heart was finally not as sad anymore.

Yue Lei sent a few words of thanks to Ms. Z.

Then she saw her reply and her eyes widened.

Z: “I sent gifts too. Why didn’t I get a private video?”

Yue Lei: “…Are you serious?”

Z: “Just kidding.”

Z: “It’s so boring on the days you don’t stream. When’s your next stream?”

Yue Lei: “Something came up on my end. I’ll let you know when I’ve taken care of it.”

Z: “What is it? Can you tell me?”

Yue Lei looked at the text on her phone and thought for a few moments.

Although she seemed like a woman who wore her heart on her sleeve, she wasn’t actually good at dealing with emotional setbacks.

In her previous life, she would habitually ignore her feelings, pretend to be calm and digest the negative emotions, and then continue to be a shameless pest behind Mo Yingxue.

In this life, she wasn’t qualified to do that anymore…

Maybe talking to a netizen would help her find a way out?

With that thought, Yue Lei started typing.

Yue Lei: “I did something bad today and made my friend angry. I don’t know what to do, so I’m getting ready to move out and calm down.”

Z: “Are you two very close friends? Will you still be in touch in the future?”

Yue Lei: “I don’t know if we are, but I like her a lot and I cherish our relationship. If I get the chance, I plan to wait until she’s not so angry to apologize. I hope we can reconcile.”

Z: “Have you ever thought that she might be sad if you just moved out? Why don’t you try to apologize now?”

Yue Lei lowered her eyes and thought for a moment.

When faced with such conflict, she instinctively wanted to run away.

Whether in her previous life or this one, unless she absolutely had to step up, she would always choose a more roundabout and smooth way to solve the problem.

Apologize to Mo Yingxue directly?

She had never tried it before, nor did she dare to.

In their previous life, every time she made Mo Yingxue angry, she would wisely leave and go have fun and clear her mind.

Then after a while, she would reappear as if nothing had happened, and Mo Yingxue would always accept her.

So she thought that most people’s romantic relationships were like this.

Z: “Whatever. It’s your relationship to handle. Just stream again as soon as you can. I see your IP address is in Southwest City. I happen to have a property there. If you don’t have anywhere to go, I can give you the password. It’s fully furnished and just needs a quick clean-up before you can move in.”

When she saw this, Yue Lei felt a sense of relief.

Having a way out was better than having no way out.

Yue Lei: “Thank you, Wife ZZ. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know where to go in the middle of the night. But let’s forget about it tonight.”

Yue Lei: “It’s getting late. You should go to sleep too. Good night.”

After sending this message, Yue Lei’s mood finally returned to calm.

Mo Yingxue was still lying on the cloud sofa wrapped in a blanket. She didn’t understand why Yue Lei had rejected her kindness.

She saw that she had been determined to leave and had even packed her clothes.

So she used her Ms. Z identity to get her a new place to stay.

Why did Yue Lei refuse?

She clenched her phone, thinking about what to say.

Mo Yingxue was so deep in thought that she didn’t notice the approaching figure.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly. When she heard a sound, her nerves tensed. Before Yue Lei could see the situation, she quickly pulled the blanket up and hid both phones inside.

When she met Mo Yingxue’s gaze, Yue Lei immediately became nervous.

She sat on the farthest sofa, feeling her scrutiny, and gathered her courage to speak: “Xiao Xue, I haven’t showered yet, so I might still smell a bit like hot pot, but I have something to say to you. Can I sit here?”

Mo Yingxue yawned, lifted her eyelids to look at her, and let out a faint “Mm.”

It was only a few steps to get downstairs, but Yue Lei’s mind was in a jumble, and she hadn’t figured out what to say.

She forced herself to say: “First of all, I want you to know that I didn’t take your photos with any ill intention! I definitely didn’t take them for any other use!”

Feeling that her words were a bit ambiguous, she flushed and continued: “It’s just that when I was covering you with the blanket, I thought you looked so cute when you were sleeping, like a little furry animal that had let its guard down, so I couldn’t help but take a few pictures.”

Mo Yingxue didn’t expect Yue Lei to actually come and apologize. She felt very unfamiliar with all of this.

She just stared at her with her dark, dark eyes.

Seeing that she was already like this, but Mo Yingxue was still cold and unwilling to accept it, Yue Lei felt sadder and sadder.

She rubbed her eyes and held on: “I also helped you with the blanket. Can’t you just let me off the hook? I didn’t see your body, and I didn’t do anything to you. Can you please forgive me this time?”

Mo Yingxue’s impervious attitude made Yue Lei’s head spin.

She put her back against the wall and started to unbutton her clothes: “When I was your model, I showed you my body without any hesitation. How about this, I’ll let you touch me a few times to calm you down?”

In fact, from the moment she appeared, Mo Yingxue’s heart was only filled with joy.

She didn’t expect Yue Lei to go this far for their ‘friendship.’ Mo Yingxue quickly pulled the blanket up to her eyes and didn’t dare to look at her: “No, no, no. If you do that, the nature of our relationship will change.”

Yue Lei: “Do you mean you won’t be mad if you don’t touch me?”

Mo Yingxue’s face flushed from her passionate gaze.

She showed a little bit of her eyes, carefully glanced over Yue Lei’s chest, and said in a muffled voice: “I’m still a little angry, but I’m not so angry that I have to defile or humiliate you.”

Yue Lei’s blood ran hot from her blunt words.

Just hearing her wife say those things made her a little excited…

She realized that she couldn’t continue like this.

She bit her lower lip and pulled her collar back together: “Then what can I do to make you not angry at all so we can reconcile?”

Mo Yingxue: “When I was sleeping, you didn’t just hug me, you also secretly kissed me, right?”

When Yue Lei heard this, she felt a thunderclap in her mind.

She thought her wife was even angrier now and that there was no way to salvage the situation today.

But Mo Yingxue just looked at her with flickering eyes and then looked away.

She pointed to her forehead: “I’ve never done that with anyone in this life. I want to try it again.”

Yue Lei swallowed, her throat dry: “Are you saying you want me to kiss you? Is that really okay? Do you want a friendly kiss, or something else?”

Still not meeting her gaze, Mo Yingxue’s tone was cold: “I haven’t experienced it before. Are you going to do it or not? If not, I’m going upstairs to sleep.”

Even if the sky were to fall and tomorrow was the end of the world, Yue Lei was feeling great at this moment.

She was about to put her plan into action, but then she smelled the hot pot flavor on her body.

Remembering that her wife had said it stank, she immediately ran toward her room: “Wait for me! I’m going to take a shower!”
