Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Did Xiao Xue Go Out to Meet Her?

“Did I?” Mo Yingxue frowned slightly. Seeing Duan Xiyu’s appearance made her uneasy. She secretly tightened her grip on her phone.

“Of course you did!” Duan Xiyu suddenly raised her voice. She slammed the steering wheel hard, her fingers hitting the horn, making the jeep emit a loud, blaring sound.

Her expression darkened, clearly suppressing her emotions. Yet, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a wicked smile: “You don’t reply to my messages, and you won’t come out when I ask. That’s clearly a sign that you have a problem with me!”

In the previous life, Mo Yingxue had always refused her mother’s invitations to go out when she had things to do, so this was her first time meeting Duan Xiyu again. She truly couldn’t understand why she was so intent on clinging to her. Sitting in the car, she had to concede.

Mo Yingxue suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and tried her best to smile: “You’re overthinking it. I simply don’t like going out, and I don’t like checking my phone.”

“Then… then you should check it more often. I waited a long time for your reply…” Hearing her answer, Duan Xiyu’s smile widened considerably. The atmosphere between them also seemed less frightening. After looking at Mo Yingxue for a long time, Duan Xiyu seemed to snap back to reality and put her hands back on the steering wheel.

“I’ll take you home. Next time I invite you out, you absolutely must come. And you have to reply to my messages.”

Mo Yingxue was already planning to block her as soon as she got home, so she nodded ambiguously. She no longer felt that Duan Xiyu’s vitality and persistent stickiness resembled Yue Lei. Yue Lei pursued her with a method of gentle infiltration. Although she was relentless, she merely treated her well silently and stayed by her side quietly. She had never been angry because Mo Yingxue didn’t reply to her messages or gave her the cold shoulder.

How could Duan Xiyu’s self-regard be so strong? Is it because she’s pretty, rich, cheerful, and outgoing that the whole world should revolve around her?

Mo Yingxue felt a throbbing pulse in her temples. Suppressing her disgust while Duan Xiyu was driving, she put her hand in her bag and secretly messaged Yue Lei.

Xiao Xue: “Come to the main gate, Jeep.”

When Yue Lei received the message, she was packing clothes for their trip tomorrow. “There’s no Jeep in the garage…” she mumbled, realizing her wife must have come back in a Jeep.

Then, a thought made Yue Lei instantly happy: “My wife must have hailed a Jeep taxi and is inviting me to the main gate to check it out.”

She dropped everything, quickly changed her shoes, and dashed toward the destination, ignoring the stares of passersby, her whole body filled with joy. Seeing the Jeep parked there from afar, she was even more pleased that her wife was thinking of her. See? I guessed right.

However, before she could get close to the security booth, she saw the person in the driver’s seat also getting out of the car after her wife got out. Yue Lei sensed trouble. Hiding behind the security booth, her eyebrows tightly knitted when she recognized the person: “Is that Duan Xiyu? Did Xiao Xue go out to meet her?”

She saw that Duan Xiyu was dressed very cool and dashing today, like a peacock spreading its tail. Mo Yingxue had her back to Yue Lei and seemed to be chatting and laughing with Duan Xiyu for a few moments. Then, she saw Duan Xiyu easily breach her wife’s personal space, intimately loop her arm through Xiao Xue’s, and lead her to the rear of the car.

At this point, Yue Lei’s brows were furrowed enough to crush two ants. While stealthily moving to a spot where they couldn’t see her, she clenched her teeth: “Why is she pulling Xiao Xue? Is there something in the trunk?” From her angle, she couldn’t see the trunk, and Yue Lei was frustrated, standing on her tiptoes several times in vain.

Suddenly, she heard the security guard talking: “Wow, what is that!”

Yue Lei’s curiosity was piqued. Risking being discovered, she went around to a spot where she could see the trunk clearly. Then, she froze solid. Her blood ran cold, threatening to freeze her in the summer heat.

The naturally spacious trunk of the Jeep was filled with various bouquets: hyacinths, lilies, roses, baby’s breath, phalaenopsis orchids… Even from this distance, she felt she could smell the elegant fragrance of the competitive blooms.

Is Duan Xiyu using those flowers to confess to my wife?

It’s so romantic and thoughtful. Will Xiao Xue agree?

Why wouldn’t she agree?

Duan Xiyu was good-looking, had a meticulously trained, beautiful figure, a slender waist, and prominent abs; her fingers must be strong, too. She was so passionate and direct with Xiao Xue.

This life, Xiao Xue has already practiced everything with me, the kissing and hugging. Is she now truly stepping into love? Is she asking me to come here to witness her moment of happiness?

Yue Lei’s entire heart felt shattered. She stared blankly at the scene, watching the happy couple, her breathing becoming shallow, almost losing the meaning of living.

Duan Xiyu took out a bouquet and handed it to Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue accepted it. Then, she saw them hug under the gaze of the bystanders. Duan Xiyu whispered a few words into Xiao Xue’s ear. Xiao Xue still had her back to Yue Lei. She couldn’t see her expression, but she accepted the flowers and walked back.

She must have agreed.

After all, as Xiao Xue walked away, Duan Xiyu didn’t immediately turn and leave. Instead, she leaned against the car in a charming manner, gazing at her affectionately. That look pierced Yue Lei’s heart.

As Mo Yingxue got closer, Yue Lei’s first reaction was to run. She selfishly didn’t want to end her current intimate relationship with Mo Yingxue. So, she vilely pretended she hadn’t seen Duan Xiyu propose to her! She wouldn’t accept such an indirect notification. If Xiao Xue wanted her to leave, she wouldn’t go unless she said it herself.

Yue Lei quickly ran back to the central garden in the yard. After catching her breath, she turned and walked toward the main gate, feigning the look of someone who had just seen the message and just arrived. Seeing Mo Yingxue’s figure, she quickened her steps, forcing a smile: “Xiao Xue, did someone send you flowers? Who? They’re quite lovely.”

Mo Yingxue was already physically and mentally exhausted from the day’s ordeal. If she hadn’t feigned compliance just now, the crazy Duan Xiyu would probably have stepped on the gas and taken her to a completely unknown place. She desperately wished Yue Lei could have appeared just now to take her away from that terrifying atmosphere. But things never go as planned. Yue Lei had just arrived after seeing the message…

Mo Yingxue glanced at her. Well, Duan Xiyu’s contact information has been completely blocked, and the things she said are gone with the wind. Since Yue Lei hadn’t seen it, there was no need to mention it, lest it upset her and make her jealous again.

Mo Yingxue smiled, placing the bouquet of blue roses into Yue Lei’s hands: “I bought them myself on the way. Aren’t they pretty?”

“You bought them yourself? You’re quite sentimental today.” Yue Lei smiled outwardly but clenched her back teeth inwardly. If she hadn’t seen the flowers come out of Duan Xiyu’s trunk with her own eyes, she probably would have believed her.

Seeing that Yue Lei believed her, Mo Yingxue relaxed: “We’re leaving for the trip tomorrow. Have you packed your suitcase?”

Yue Lei tightly gripped the bouquet, forcing down her strange emotions: “Mine is packed. I don’t know what to pack for yours.”

Mo Yingxue didn’t notice her sour mood and laughed sweetly: “It’s fine. I’ll do it myself.”

That night, Yue Lei tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time.

She turned to look at Mo Yingxue’s peaceful sleeping face, the image of her embracing Duan Xiyu in front of a trunk full of flowers replaying in her mind.

She greedily traced her features with her gaze, then carefully interlocked her fingers with hers, murmuring: “Xiao Xue, what exactly did you mean? Did you ask me to come over to watch her propose to you? But then you didn’t mention it…”

Even though she was frantic inside, Yue Lei only dared to ask when she knew Mo Yingxue couldn’t hear her. Because the answer, if spoken, had a fifty percent chance of being the one she didn’t want. And that unwanted answer would thoroughly destroy their current relationship.

Mo Yingxue had been emotionally stimulated today, and she was sleeping a deep, heavy sleep. She didn’t notice the many dense and lingering kisses placed on her face, lips, and neck. Yue Lei had seen news in the previous life about people getting blood clots from hickeys, causing life-threatening conditions. So, every time she kissed her wife, she never left any marks.

And Xiao Xue would never actively give her hickeys. So, even after being married for a while, she remained clear and clean, with no ambiguous marks left even during the most passionate honeymoon phase. Many of the streamers at the company thought she and Mo Yingxue were only married on the surface and pursued their own interests privately…

The next day, officially setting off for Fencheng, after saying goodbye to the kittens and taking a photo with each one, the two arrived at the airport an hour early.

Yue Lei went to the restroom while Mo Yingxue stayed behind to watch the luggage. She muttered to herself: “Two suitcases, two bags, and one bag of snacks for the road—that’s five pieces of luggage in total. Can’t forget any of them.”

After a short while, Yue Lei returned. She was on a phone call. As she got closer, she covered the receiver and asked: “Xiao Xue, my friend is asking if we’re staying in one room or two when we get to Fencheng?”

Mo Yingxue found the question strange: “One room. Pick a king-sized bed.”

“Okay!” The dark clouds hanging over Yue Lei instantly vanished. She happily explained the situation to Lin Zhixi on the other end of the line.

After hanging up, she sat down awkwardly next to Mo Yingxue and squeezed her fingers. Her voice was timid: “Xiao Xue, I have a request, and I don’t know if you can agree to it.”

Yue Lei was usually very direct. Mo Yingxue often thought she was single-minded, so seeing her like this now, she was immediately amused. She asked: “What is it?”

Yue Lei was nervous but looked up at her with wide eyes: “Can we… can we just say we’re girlfriends when we get to Fencheng? Our current situation is too niche, and it’s hard to explain to them. I know we’re not dating right now, but… but look, we’re sharing a room, so in others’ eyes, we’re a couple. Can this relationship status just stay in Fencheng, and we’ll pretend it never happened when we get home?”

Since Duan Xiyu isn’t here, I want to be the queen.

Mo Yingxue hadn’t expected her to ask this. She pretended to be deep in thought, letting the silence hang for a few seconds. When Yue Lei’s brow visibly furrowed, she finally nodded: “Yes, I agree to your proposal.”

A few hours later, the two officially arrived in Fencheng. After collecting their luggage, Yue Lei hailed a taxi and headed toward the reserved hotel. She didn’t ask Lin Zhixi to pick them up, planning to meet her at dinner after they had rested.

In the taxi, Yue Lei eagerly pointed out and described the famous commercial districts, museums, and city attractions they passed to Mo Yingxue. She made a grand declaration: “We’re going to spend many days here, and we’ll visit all these places!”
