Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Let’s Sleep, I’m Tired.

Yue Lei had always thought the happiest moment of her life was in this current lifetime when Mo Yingxue walked up to her and asked her to be her model.

But she never imagined that after they got together, those moments would keep coming. Now, her personal happiness scale had been reset. Her wife actually confessed to her first—that was now the absolute happiest moment of her life!

Yue Lei looked at Mo Yingxue’s dark eyes, practically drowning in them.

She immediately tackled the smiling Mo Yingxue, kissing and sniffing her. If she hadn’t thought her wife was squeamish, she probably would have licked her collarbone.

The sounds of laughter and playful wrestling filled the air.

After nudging her like a puppy for a while, Yue Lei wrapped her arms around Mo Yingxue’s waist, feeling like her entire heart was floating: “I’m so happy, Xiao Xue!”

“I knew this is what you wanted,” Mo Yingxue held her head, looking at Yue Lei’s fluffy eyelashes, her own heart stirring uncontrollably.

Yue Lei held her, her eyes welling up, nearly breaking down in tears.

She spoke incoherently: “Really, I like you so much, so much, but I have nothing now, I’m nobody, and I didn’t dare confess to you. The fact that you ‘adopted’ me and accepted me, I’m truly so happy.”

Compared to the mature and wealthy CEO Yue of the previous life, the current Yue Lei was indeed just a novice whose career was just starting.

All she had to offer was her sincere love. But for Mo Yingxue, choosing her in the previous life was also because of this priceless, though seemingly worthless, sincerity.

She rubbed her cheek against hers, her voice soft and gentle, like a feather stroking Yue Lei’s heart: “You’re great, and you’re good to me. I have everything; I don’t need you to have anything.”

“But…” Yue Lei bit her lip.

She still felt she should be the one making money to support the family.

Her wife was born with a silver spoon.

Those hands, white as jade, were meant for holding a paintbrush, not carrying the burden of earning a living.

Right now, as a student, she could spend her family’s money without guilt. But in two years, when Mo Yingxue graduated and needed independence, it was unknown whether she could achieve the same success as in the previous life, relying only on personal live streams and future short film production.

Starting a company again would mean going through too many things, meeting too many people, and wasting too much time.

Yue Lei knew from the previous life that she couldn’t balance a career and Xiao Xue simultaneously.

This life, she wanted to choose the latter. Yue Lei couldn’t find an immediate answer, so she shook her head and stopped thinking about these frustrating and helpless thoughts that made her heart ache.

“But what?” Mo Yingxue turned her head to look at her.

“Nothing.” Yue Lei smiled again.

Mo Yingxue noticed she visibly suppressed something she wanted to say, but she also had something she wanted to say. She really wanted to ask her why she so naturally called her wife the other day.

Was she, like herself, reborn?

But at this moment, Mo Yingxue also felt the answer might be very simple.

Perhaps it was just Yue Lei’s genuine feelings surfacing when she was drunk and poisoned. After all, she was so good to Yue Lei that she might have already been calling her “wife” in her heart.

The matter of being reborn was too bizarre. She hadn’t figured out the reason for several years.

Until she found a new clue from Yue Lei, it wasn’t the right time to bring up the question. She decided to focus on completing the transformation from best friend to most intimate lover first. After all, that was also a significant hurdle.

Looking at Yue Lei’s figure, beautifully outlined by the thin silk pajamas, Mo Yingxue’s face warmed.

Mo Yingxue didn’t know how to please a woman. In the previous life, Yue Lei had taken care of her in every aspect. She herself didn’t have much of a service orientation, but since she proposed they be together, she was prepared for Yue Lei tonight, knowing how eager she was.

However, Yue Lei just continued to hug and kiss her, as before.

Her hand didn’t even venture to any private areas, seemingly avoiding her intimate parts as if guided by a built-in GPS.

Mo Yingxue stole several glances at Yue Lei, confirming she read excitement and desire in her eyes. But when she finally became too tired and sleepy to stay awake past 1 a.m., Yue Lei still hadn’t made the next move.

She was such a wolf in the sheets; she wouldn’t be this restrained…

In the previous life, she couldn’t even wait for the end of the day…

Was it possible that before they officially got together, she had given her too much intimacy, making her lose interest in her body now?

Feeling increasingly wronged, Mo Yingxue reached out and turned off the bedside lamp. She batted away Yue Lei’s hand resting on her waist and spoke with a tired, distant tone: “Let’s sleep, I’m tired.”

Yue Lei was indeed overly excited today and hadn’t let go of her wife since they got together. Checking the time, she realized she had kept her wife up late. She hummed in agreement, hugged her from behind, sniffed the clean scent from her neck, and closed her eyes.

Mo Yingxue still didn’t feel any further actions, and her eyes darkened. Sulking, she finally fell asleep.

The next day, they both woke up past ten. Yue Lei looked at Mo Yingxue in her arms, her heart feeling as sweet as if she had drunk honey.

She used to feel that their intimacy was stolen, and that everything would suddenly end once Mo Yingxue fell for someone else. But now, she didn’t have to worry about all that. She liked her, and she belonged to her.

Thinking of this, Yue Lei frowned. If only they had confessed their feelings earlier, she could have rightfully rushed out and pulled her away when Duan Xiyu was putting on that show at the door.

That way, Mo Yingxue wouldn’t have had to suffer that harassment. Thinking of this, she wished she could unilaterally break their agreement and recklessly expose everything Duan Xiyu had done and the photos she had taken.

However, according to Xiao Hei, it seemed a strong-willed girl who had been hurt by Duan Xiyu had already stood up and confronted her online.

It seemed she needed to pay Xiao Hei another sum of money to monitor this situation and get more trolls to boost the visibility of those girls tearing Duan Xiyu apart on Weibo. Ideally, it should become a trending topic so everyone would recognize her face and know how awful she was!

Mo Yingxue was also awake. She had forgotten her dissatisfaction from last night. Opening her eyes and seeing Yue Lei looking so thoughtful, she chuckled softly: “What’s wrong? You’re unhappy so early in the morning.”

“The hotel curtains are too thin, they bother my eyes,” Yue Lei quickly found an excuse, leaned over, and gave her a brief kiss on the lips.

After washing up, they packed their belongings and temporarily checked them with the front desk. The skydiving location was in the nearby suburbs, so they planned to head to the mountain ranch that afternoon.

“Let’s have one last meal with Lin Zhixi and the others before we go,” Yue Lei suggested.

Mo Yingxue had no objection and readily agreed. When they arrived at the restaurant, she realized that this gathering was an excuse to show off their affection, not a genuine farewell…

In front of their acquaintances, Yue Lei was shamelessly clingy.

She kept putting food on her plate, passing her tissues, and opening her drink for her, leaving the four girls opposite completely stunned.

They would occasionally tease or cheer them on. Mo Yingxue’s face turned completely red with embarrassment; she couldn’t even look up…

She stood up and pulled out some tissues: “I’m going to the restroom.”

Yue Lei immediately followed, linking her arm with hers and smiling brightly: “Me too.”

However, halfway there, Mo Yingxue stopped. She squeezed Yue Lei’s hand, her expression serious: “Can you settle down a little? We’re eating with everyone. Why are you constantly doting on me?”

“You’re my girlfriend. It’s natural for me to be good to you!” Yue Lei also felt she might have overdone it, but she just couldn’t resist showing off.

Mo Yingxue frowned, increasing the force of her squeeze: “Are you treating them like your audience? Can you please be respectful to them? If you keep this up, you’ll ruin their appetite! Besides, we already said we were girlfriends when we met them last time, so why weren’t you doting on me then? Your attitude change is so strange this time; they’ll wonder what happened!”

Yue Lei winced in pain, realizing her wife was truly angry. She nodded repeatedly, her mind calming down, and put on an innocent, puppy-dog expression: “I know, please don’t be mad.”

Mo Yingxue couldn’t resist her act. She twitched her lips and let her off the hook.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhixi looked at Cong Die with a heavy heart, a sour feeling gripping her chest.

As soon as she sat down today, she knew Yue Lei was here to show off her relationship.

The girl had a wonderful girlfriend and not many friends in Southwest City, so she naturally wanted to seize the opportunity of her trip to parade her around. But she never expected her to be so over-the-top, treating the dining table like a stage and the private room like a set!

The thought of Yue Lei being a kept woman and being able to be intimate with her girlfriend made Lin Zhixi lose her appetite.

One moment she saw Cong Die and thought about falling for a straight woman, with no future. The next, she was consumed by envy, jealousy, and hate—truly the sentiment shared online: you’re afraid your sister is struggling, and you’re afraid she’s driving a Range Rover.

Xiao Tang glanced at her, giving her an “I understand” look. Xiao Tang was also a lesbian.

She liked the tomboy type, a completely different preference from Lin Zhixi, so she wasn’t a threat. But Xiao Jing and Cong Die were both straight. She painfully watched them constantly obsess over male celebrities and play otome games. She liked Cong Die, but the other girl was completely oblivious.

When Yue Lei introduced herself last time, Cong Die and Xiao Jing were very surprised, acting as if they didn’t know women could be with women.

Sensing her silence, Cong Die refilled her water and turned to ask: “What’s wrong? Is the food not to your liking today?”

“No,” Lin Zhixi shook her head, quickly finding an excuse: “I’m just a little sad thinking Yue Lei is leaving, and I haven’t really spent any time with her.”

Cong Die knew Lin Zhixi had a best friend she frequently kept in touch with back in her hometown.

Female friendships are often possessive. She enjoyed hanging out with Lin Zhixi and secretly felt she was her closest friend, so she had always felt a little annoyed.

But after meeting Yue Lei, she felt much calmer. Lin Zhixi and Yue Lei’s closeness was purely due to growing up together. Their relationship was the “partner-in-crime” type, completely different from the sincere friendship she shared with Lin Zhixi.

If she remained friends with her for a few more years, she might just snatch the title of “best friend.”

Cong Die thought for a moment and suggested: “Then let’s go to the mountain ranch for two days too! We always suggest that place whenever someone visits Fencheng, but we don’t even know if it’s fun!”

“Oh?” Lin Zhixi’s eyes lit up. Wouldn’t that mean she could spend the night with Cong Die outside again! They weren’t in the same dorm, so no matter how much they talked at school, they had to go back to their own rooms at night. But staying out was different.

Lin Zhixi desperately gave Xiao Tang a meaningful look. The latter understood and immediately replied: “I won’t go then. I grew up in a village. No matter how fun it is, I think it’ll be more or less the same as my village. I won’t waste the money.”

Xiao Jing wanted to go, but Xiao Tang was vigorously tugging at her sleeve under the table. So, she also shook her head: “I won’t go either. I… I have something to do tomorrow.”
