Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Get In The Car, Let’s Kiss In The Car.

Qinglin Mountain is the largest inner-city scenic area in Southwest City. Half of it is a developed park, wetland, and rare plant protection zone, while the other half is genuinely undeveloped wilderness bordering the continuous mountain range.

Though the Porsche couldn’t drive into Qinglin Mountain, Yue Lei wasted no time renting a sightseeing cart. Watching her fumble in the driver’s seat, meticulously studying how to operate the cart, Xiaochai found it amusing.

She couldn’t help but tease, “Sister Yue really doesn’t want to walk a single step, huh? When we used to come here, we always wondered who rented these carts, since they cost more than the entrance ticket. Now we finally know!”

Yue Lei sighed dramatically and said earnestly, “You’ll understand when you reach my age. You get exhausted doing nothing all day. Qinglin Mountain is too big, and every scenic spot is far apart. At my pace, we wouldn’t see everything even if we spent three days here.”

Xiaolan laughed: “We still have to thank Sister Yue. Now we’ve become the scenery in other people’s eyes. Come on, let’s pose with the archway. We’ll pretend we’re tourists from out of town.”

Zhenzhen, afraid Yue Lei might overthink it, added with a blush, “Mostly, we came too late today. To see everything, you have to leave at 8 AM, bring your own food, and walk non-stop. That’s easily twenty to thirty thousand steps in a day.”

Fortunately, Yue Lei was completely carefree. She drove the girls cheerfully to various spots. The moment they arrived, she took group photos and videos. With company, she didn’t feel awkward at all.

Just before the sun went down, they rushed to the highest point of Qinglin Mountain. Watching the orange-red sun grow huge and close, then gradually sink into the distant mountains, Xiaolan couldn’t help but exclaim, “I don’t think we’ve ever seen the sunset here before! There are no tall buildings blocking the view, just the great green hills and waters of nature. It’s so beautiful!”

Xiaochai pulled out her phone: “Haha, I’m going to video call my mom. She definitely hasn’t seen a sight like this either.”

Inspired by this action, the other three’s eyes lit up. They each walked to a small distance to find the person they wanted to share this beautiful moment with.

Since her wife hadn’t messaged her yet, she must still be taking her exam. So, Yue Lei shared the entire scene with her audience in the live stream.

“Babies, you really need to get closer to nature whenever you have the chance. My mood right now is unprecedentedly uninhibited. Feeling the superb craftsmanship of nature, humans are truly so small. All those worries, all that confusion, seem to just disappear.”

Yue Lei rarely spoke such emotional words in front of her audience. Viewers who had followed her previous two streams, and those who had just tuned in for the fun of it, were touched by her words.

“When I’m at work, I always think about resting well on the weekend, going to see the mountains and rivers, and spending time with family and friends.”

“But by the time the weekend hits, I’m too tired to do anything. I sleep until noon, order takeout, and the day is gone.”

“Goodbye, President Yue. I’m not watching the stream anymore. I’m using this time to call my best friend and ask her if she can come out this weekend.”

“Sometimes I’m really grateful my parents always took me traveling when I was little. Those scenes weren’t just material for my essays when I was young. Whenever I think back on them as an adult, I feel incredibly happy. Now I’m an adult; I can take my parents traveling!”

“Sometimes I really want to quit my job, but I have to keep going for a living. Today, I’ve been working and keeping President Yue’s stream open. Watching you go out and have fun, I feel relaxed too. Seeing such beautiful scenery, I’m sure I’ll sleep well tonight.”

More people, not good at expressing themselves, simply used gifts of various sizes to convey their feelings. Brick by brick, their collective gifts surprisingly exceeded the four major gifts Miss Z threw in while briefly stopping by.

Yue Lei was no longer anxious about income. She even turned off the comments and pop-ups, focusing only on holding the camera, wanting to share the spiritual shock of witnessing the “long river and the round setting sun.”

Glancing at the three young girls, Yue Lei couldn’t help but smile. It had been a long time since she felt this kind of unburdened happiness. Being around young people made her heart feel impulsive, childish, and full of vitality.

After watching the sunset and coming down the mountain, Yue Lei still wanted to take them out to eat, feeling she hadn’t had enough fun. However, the four of them had climbed the mountain, eaten snacks, and drank milk tea today, and the girls hadn’t spent a cent. They felt too embarrassed to accept Yue Lei’s generous invitation, and their families had specifically told them on the phone to be courteous and not take advantage.

The girls insisted on going home. Yue Lei couldn’t persuade them otherwise, so she drove them to the vicinity of their homes. After pulling the car over to the side of the road, she finally had the mind to check the comments.

“Ahhh, if they won’t eat, I will! President Yue, we have the same IP address. Can us office drones join in on activities like this?”

“I can’t believe how happy I would have been as a little girl if I’d had such a great older sister taking me out to eat and play!”

“I feel like all three babies are wonderful. We should all go out and play together next time!”

Yue Lei curled her lips, saying something utterly obnoxious: “See? I told you that people who like the Porsche 911 aren’t bad!”

This arrogant, self-satisfied President Yue was the person the audience was familiar with. The atmosphere immediately returned to its usual playful banter.

“Now that they’re gone, I have to eat too,” Yue Lei mumbled, opening WeChat. She saw a message from Xiao Xue saying she had finished her exam.

Yue Lei immediately waved at the camera: “Babies, I’ve met my streaming quota for the month! I won’t show you dinner, let’s save that for a mukbang theme next time.”

Despite the audience’s pleas, she resolutely smiled and shut down the Qingyin Live stream.

“Yue Lei: Xiao Xue, you worked hard on your exams. What do you want to eat? Let’s go together!”

Mo Yingxue had two phones with her. After sending the message to Yue Lei, she immediately entered the live stream using Miss Z’s account. The screen briefly lagged, and then a notification popped up.

“The streamer you are following is not currently online!”

Mo Yingxue suspiciously glanced at the online count. Though it was dropping, there were still seven or eight hundred people. Comments were flooding in, mostly criticizing President Yue for being narrow-minded, leaving just when it was time to eat, and not letting her “sisters” see what she was having.

Mo Yingxue was thoughtful, and a faint smile touched her eyes when she saw Yue Lei’s message. So, she had ended the stream in such a hurry just to eat with her…

To reward her, Miss Z’s hand slipped, and she dropped another high-value “Lights of Ten Thousand Homes” gift into the now-empty live stream.

“Wait, the stream isn’t even on! Throwing such a big gift just like that—is there no law, no reason?”

“I knew something was missing today! It was President Yue shouting ‘ZZ Wife!’ in her pinched voice! Now ZZ Wife has made up for that presence herself! Z x Y, that’s awesome!”

“I ship Y x Z, hey! President Yue is the top alpha, no explanation needed! Y x Z, perfection!”

“What is this XYZ coordinate system talk? I came in to grab the gift red envelopes. Why isn’t the stream on? Is this money laundering?”

“NO, NO, NO, don’t talk nonsense! The streamer just pulled a ‘food escape.’ This is our great love sister’s deep affection for the streamer!”

Although Yue Lei had closed the stream, she could still see the comments. From the moment she received the gift, she had been messaging Miss Z in confusion. Miss Z didn’t reply, just sent a smiling emoji.

Now, switching back to the comments and seeing the audience using the letters X, Y, and Z in various combinations, she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

The first letter of Xue is X… Miss Z, Mo Yingxue, and her own Yue—no matter how you looked at it, it took all three of them to form a coordinate axis!

Exams are taxing on the mind, so she needed to replenish her nutrition. Yue Lei took Mo Yingxue out for a delicious, spicy Sichuan meal. Her wife’s spice tolerance was no less than hers; the spicier, the more satisfying, especially pickled chili flavors.

After dinner, Yue Lei was eating the complimentary mint, her gaze involuntarily drawn to Mo Yingxue’s lips, which were slightly reddened by the spice. Mo Yingxue was usually very conscious of her appearance. Seeing Yue Lei staring, she touched her mouth awkwardly: “What are you looking at?”

“I want to kiss you,” Yue Lei said directly, holding out the half-melted mint in her mouth for Mo Yingxue to see. She curled her lips and asked intentionally, in a lewd tone, “Little girl, do you want some candy?”

“Yes, I want some.” Mo Yingxue’s gaze landed frankly on her face, which, ironically, made Yue Lei flustered.

She glanced around nervously: “Xiao Xue, do we really have to kiss? This is a busy street; it’s a bit embarrassing.”

Mo Yingxue leaned closer, wrapping her arm around Yue Lei’s waist. Yue Lei could almost feel her faint breath. Is my wife really going to kiss me, standing this close? Yue Lei was ready to cooperate, but she thought her wife wouldn’t like such a bold display of affection… Her heart pounded fast. She actually felt a thrill, like they were cheating in public.

However, Mo Yingxue simply reached into Yue Lei’s pocket to feel around, her dark eyes holding a smile: “I said I wanted the candy; I didn’t say I wanted to kiss you.” Yue Lei loved sweets and enjoyed the small, round mints provided by the restaurant. Mo Yingxue had seen her grab a handful and stuff them into her pocket earlier.

Mo Yingxue peeled the wrapper while smiling lightly. Her movements were elegant and graceful, her fingers light and fair, as if she were unwrapping not plastic candy paper, but some rare and precious treasure.

Yue Lei was completely mesmerized. It wasn’t until Mo Yingxue put the candy in her mouth and looked up that she saw Yue Lei’s expression.

Mo Yingxue: “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Desire surged in Yue Lei’s eyes. She gripped Mo Yingxue’s slender wrist, yanked her into her arms, and said fiercely and aggressively, “Get in the car. We’ll kiss in the car.”

“Sister, that’s not good. Even in the car, people might see,” Mo Yingxue’s voice was exceptionally sweet. Hearing it, the mint in Yue Lei’s mouth suddenly tasted bland.

She shoved Mo Yingxue into the back seat without explanation and followed, kneeling over her. Without even closing the car door, she embraced her wife’s waist, closed her eyes, and demanded her affection.

The still-solid mint was tossed back and forth between their mouths, like a small boat encountering a huge wave. Mo Yingxue could bear her kiss at first, but then realized it was so fierce, so passionate, that it not only stole the mint she had just eaten but also seemed to steal all her breath.

She tapped Yue Lei’s back, her voice choked with tears: “Mmm… S-Sister… I can’t breathe…”

Yue Lei finally realized that this was the Mo Yingxue from eight years ago, not the wife who would cooperate with all her demands. She withdrew her hand from under her shirt, her voice tight: “I’m sorry.”
