Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: President Yue’s Unremarkable Day

Yue Lei’s editor had long since finished cutting the videos from her first two live streams. She thought the clips looked great, capturing the subtly tipsy literary vibe of the first stream and the dramatic transformation from the second. However, at the time, Yingzi was focused on boosting Zhang Zhenni’s video views, so Yue Lei hadn’t posted anything.

Before heading out to stream today, she finally released the edited video from her first stream.

The weather was quite hot, so Yue Lei applied very light makeup—just lightly lining her brows and eyes and some lipstick. She skipped the foundation, eyeshadow, and contour. She wore an embroidered linen maxi dress and a chunky knit cardigan. From Mo Yingxue’s accessory cabinet, she found a straw hat with lace trim and layered several colorful beaded bracelets on her wrist.

The overall look was like a faint glass of iced mint lemonade. Just glancing at her was enough to beat the summer heat.

Yue Lei was a naturally vibrant beauty, with large eyes, long lashes, and thick brows and hair. She usually favored glamorous, bold, and aggressive styles. This gentle, elegant side was something almost only those close to her ever saw.

After dressing up, she admired herself in the mirror, turning twice, feeling like she finally looked like she was in her early twenties. She posed for a few selfies in the mirror.

Before posting her stream announcement, she sent the photos in a batch to Mo Yingxue, Miss Z, and Yingzi Queen. The latter two were her main financial supporters, and giving them special treatment that typical viewers didn’t receive was part of her duty as a streamer. As for why she sent them to Mo Yingxue, it was purely her personal act of “peacock display” courtship behavior.

Xue: “Sister, are you going on a beach vacation? You can’t secretly leave me behind while I’m in exam week! Little cat wronged expression.jpg”

Z: “Pretty. But I’m a bit busy today, so I might not be able to watch the whole thing.”

Yingzi: “Aaaah! Boss, you look so good dressed like this too! It’s over for me. Now, whenever I see you in an outfit completely different from Zhang Zhenni, I still project her onto you. I feel like Zhang Zhenni is hiding her identity to do a mission. Why is this happening? The short drama hasn’t even started filming yet!”

Yue Lei replied to them one by one. She first encouraged Xiao Xue on her exams. She knew Xiao Xue would be continuously drawing for hours today, with barely enough time for lunch. She had Aunt Wang prepare cold sushi and salmon in advance for her lunch.

Next, she told Miss Z not to overwork and Yingzi not to get too carried away. Only then did she elegantly stroll toward the garage.

She had already chosen her ride for the day: the most dazzling fluorescent green and fluorescent pink gradient Porsche 911 in the garage.

Yue Lei had secretly observed her wife while driving her to and from school recently and found that Mo Yingxue remained completely unfazed, no matter what car she drove.

It seemed her wife really had no interest in cars.

Perhaps buying these cars was genuinely just about appreciating their aesthetic lines. Unlike her own low-brow taste, where she bought luxury cars just to show off in her previous life, her wife was different.

Driving such a flashy car for the first time in this life, Yue Lei felt a mix of self-satisfaction and pride, surprisingly mixed with a hint of embarrassment. After all, it wasn’t her car, so feeling a little guilty was to be expected.

Yue Lei bought a compact GoPro. The moment she got into the car, she started the live stream. Hilariously, the title of her live stream today was—”President Yue’s Unremarkable Day”

Viewers who received the notification quickly flooded the stream.

“No, wait, where’s the ‘unremarkable’? Where is President Yue driving us? This is a black cab, I’m getting out!”

“Such a beautiful interior, such a low chassis… President Yue is trying to conceal the steering wheel logo, but unless I’m mistaken, we must be sitting in my dream car!”

“Let’s all shout its name: 911! 911!”

“Ah, Wife, I’m getting car sick. Can you drive faster? The thought of a sports car having to wait at a red light makes me laugh.”

Yue Lei glanced at the comments, a smile playing on her lips. She drove toward the city center: “President Yue’s unremarkable day has begun.”

Yue Lei’s original plan for the day was based on her idle standards from her previous life: drive around for a bit, stop at a private bakery for two boxes of sweet bread and cake, grab a milk tea for brunch, wander through the mall, and shop. In the evening, she would meet up with her old drinking buddies, and at night, go to a lesbian bar to drink and watch girls dance. Bored and completely unrestrained.

But in this life, first, she didn’t have those drinking buddies, and second, eight years ago, most entertainment venues were simple, and there were virtually no bars specifically for lesbians in their city. So, Yue Lei deleted the evening plans, intending to just sit alone in a park instead.

Just as she was finishing choosing bread with her audience, holding milk tea in her left hand and a scone in her right, she noticed three young girls taking photos in front of her car. They were chattering away, looking full of youthful vitality.

Yue Lei smiled and didn’t interrupt them. She sat aside, slowly finished her scone, wiped her hands clean with a wet wipe, placed the milk tea back in the paper bag, and then walked toward the car.

The girl with the single ponytail tugged on her friend and whispered, “Hurry up and take your pictures. Give the spot back to that lady. She’s been waiting for a long time; maybe she wants to take photos too.”

When talking with friends, young people tend to be direct, acting as if they are the only ones in the world and forgetting to lower their voices. Yue Lei heard everything clearly and couldn’t help but laugh.

Her laugh roused the other two girls who were engrossed in their selfies. They exchanged embarrassed glances and pulled the ponytail girl, intending to run.

“Don’t go, don’t go.” Yue Lei waved them over and pointed to the GoPro on her chest. “I’m live-streaming. Do you mind being on camera?”

“No problem, no problem,” the three girls said, ready to bolt.

Yue Lei stopped them again and gently asked, “Do you like this car very much?”

The ponytail girl, Xiaolan: “Yes! The color is so pretty. It’s the best-looking car I’ve ever seen!”

The bob-cut girl, Xiaochai, nodded repeatedly, pulling out a palm-sized cotton doll from her bag: “It’s the same color as my baby’s hair. It’s perfect for a ‘gu-mei’ shot!”

The girl in the pink dress, Zhenzhen, looked at her with sparkling eyes: “Is this a Porsche or a Maserati? I rarely see them in real life. I used to drive them all the time in games last year, but I don’t remember now!”

Yue Lei: “It’s a Porsche 911, and I like it too. What are your names? I’m Sister Yue; the ‘Yue’ in ‘getting better and better’ “Yue Lai, Yue Hao”.”

Xiaolan: “Just call me Xiaolan.”

Xiaochai: “I’m Xiaochai.”

Zhenzhen: “My name is Zhenzhen.”

Yue Lei handed the bread to Zhenzhen: “Help me hold this; I’m going to take a few pictures too.”

After taking a few selfies, she leaned against the car door and handed her phone to Xiaochai, smiling sweetly: “I think your photography skills look the best. Can you take a few photos for me?”

The three girls looked quite innocent. Since the universities hadn’t officially started the summer break yet, the only ones likely running around were high school graduates. This age group looked up to stylish older women. They were all excited by Yue Lei’s kind invitation.

Xiaochai took the phone seriously while her friends offered suggestions. Xiaolan even turned on her phone camera light to secretly provide Yue Lei with fill light.

After taking the photos, Yue Lei checked them and found they were indeed very good: “As a thank you, let me buy you milk tea.”

The girls quickly waved their hands: “Oh, we couldn’t.”

Yue Lei showed them the photos: “Look how well you took these! Plus, my viewership increased as soon as you appeared on stream. I told you, this is a thank you gift.”

The three girls finally agreed.

Yue Lei walked with them to get the milk tea. Remembering something, she curiously looked at the shyer Zhenzhen: “What were you looking at earlier?”

Zhenzhen blushed: “I was helping you watch out, to prevent the car owner from coming back. We stayed in front of their car for so long, and I felt so embarrassed.”

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Yue Lei said, smiling and pressing the car key. As the car lights flashed, the car unlocked.

The girls were stunned, their eyes wide, nearly choking on their milk tea!

After a moment of silence, Xiaochai spoke first: “Sister, so that was your car all along! You’re loaded!”

Xiaolan was also astounded: “Exactly! Why didn’t you say so sooner? I was so nervous just now! I didn’t dare make eye contact with everyone who walked by!”

Zhenzhen covered her face with both hands: “Sister, if you had told us sooner, we would have left. Seriously, we wasted your time and made you spend money.”

Since meeting the three girls, Yue Lei hadn’t paid attention to the comments in the live stream. But she found all three girls to be polite and pleasant—no one could dislike them—which was why she wanted to spend a little more time with them.

“It’s fine. I just came out to stream today because I had nothing else to do.” Yue Lei opened the back car door and winked at them: “Want to go for a drive?”

The three girls looked at each other, their eyes clearly saying they wanted to go. Xiaolan and Xiaochai immediately agreed. Only Zhenzhen retained some rationality. She raised her hand, her voice small: “Sister, I’m sorry, but if we go far, we need to let our parents know. Where are we going, and when will we be back?”

Yue Lei: “I was planning to go hiking at Qinglin Mountain. It closes at 6:30 PM, so we’ll be back before dark. Can you still get student tickets?”

Xiaochai clapped her hands immediately: “Then we can go! Qinglin Mountain is quite close; we go there ourselves sometimes. Xiaolan even has an annual pass!”

“You should still tell your parents. After all, I’m a suspicious character, and your safety is at risk the moment you get into a stranger’s car.” Girls navigating society often didn’t know where danger lurked.

Yue Lei openly displayed her license plate and driver’s license to them: “Send these to your parents. If they’re still worried, tell them to search ‘President Yue’ on Qingyin Video to enter the live stream. It’s being broadcast the whole time—safety factor: full marks!”

With everything ready, the Porsche set off again!

In the places Yue Lei wasn’t looking, the comments were flooding in, and the atmosphere in the live stream was bustling.

“Xiaochai’s photography skills are genuinely good. Is this the standard skill of someone who raises cotton dolls at home? I’m bringing down the organization!”

“President Yue is a complete bad woman, deliberately not telling them it was her car. Look how scared those sisters were!”

“I’m so jealous of those three sisters! I wish I were walking around today and President Yue insisted on buying me milk tea and taking me hiking!”

Yingzi: “I can’t believe Zhenzhen has a better sense of safety than I do! If President Yue told me to get in the car, I’d spinelessly run faster than anyone else!”

Z: “Romantic Flower Sea X4”

Z: “Have fun, I’m going to be busy now. (Paid comment)”
