Pretty Wife Insists I Live Off Her - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Irresistible.

In the end, only Lin Zhixi, Cong Die, Yue Lei, and Mo Yingxue went to the mountain ranch. Yue Lei and Mo Yingxue went to the hotel to retrieve their luggage, while the other two returned to school to pack their things.

Taking advantage of this time, Yue Lei whispered to Mo Yingxue, speaking mysteriously: “Xiao Xue, can you tell Lin Zhixi likes Cong Die?”

Mo Yingxue: “More or less. Lin Zhixi is quite attentive to her.”

Yue Lei lamented with conviction: “But Cong Die is straight, and she’s completely unaware of this; it wouldn’t even cross her mind!”

In the previous life, Cong Die was disabled and her temperament changed drastically, losing interest in finding a partner, which was how Lin Zhixi managed to stay by her side. Although they never had a formal title, living next door and eating every meal together made Lin Zhixi quite happy.

In this life, they didn’t go mountain climbing, and nothing bad happened. Cong Die’s enthusiasm for the world remained high; her phone screen still displayed a male idol. Yue Lei didn’t know how Lin Zhixi could overcome Cong Die’s sexual orientation.

Putting herself in her friend’s shoes, if Yue Lei saw her wife obsessing over men every day, she would genuinely explode with anger. But that was a daily reality for Lin Zhixi, and it was too painful.

Mo Yingxue thought for a moment, sipping her orange soda. Her tone was cool: “If Cong Die doesn’t like girls, then your friend probably doesn’t have a chance. When it comes to dating, it’s better not to hang your life on one tree.”

“If feelings could be controlled, there wouldn’t be so many heartbroken people in the world.” Yue Lei sighed softly, looking at her: “I want to try to create an opportunity for them. Will you help me push things along?”

Mo Yingxue glanced at her and nodded.

Just as they were talking, Lin Zhixi and the others arrived, each carrying a backpack, chatting and laughing. After exchanging greetings, Yue Lei made a shushing gesture to Mo Yingxue and then asked: “Lin Zhixi, are you two getting one room or two rooms?”

Lin Zhixi’s heart immediately skipped a beat.

They had stayed in the same room once before because of the heavy rain, but there were six people in the room then, with no chance for just the two of them to interact. Since Yue Lei and Mo Yingxue were definitely staying in one room, maybe she and Cong Die could stay together?

Suppressing her excitement, she turned to the person next to her: “Xiao Die, do you want to stay alone or with me?”

Cong Die thought seriously: “A room each is too expensive, isn’t it? Should we choose a standard twin room?”

Yue Lei seized the chance and coughed: “They only have twin rooms left without windows, and those are really stuffy. The only twin-bedded rooms left are the very expensive luxury suites. The scenic view king room has a discount. It’s the cheapest. That’s what we booked.”

“Then let’s book the king room,” Cong Die decided quickly without much thought. She playfully nudged Lin Zhixi, laughing: “Xi Xi, I don’t crowd people when I sleep, do I?”

“Huh?” Lin Zhixi blinked, her face instantly red to the tips of her ears. She averted her gaze: “I don’t know.”

Cong Die raised an eyebrow: “That time at the e-sports hotel, we slept three to a bed the first night with Xiao Jing, didn’t we? You slept on my right side. Everyone kept calling you to turn on the light at night. Did you forget so quickly?”

They had booked two rooms for six people, three in each.

“Oh, right, right.” Lin Zhixi remembered now.

That time, stuck in the hotel by the rain and flood, Cong Die had slept right next to her. The three of them shared one blanket but kept a safe distance.

The thought of her beloved lying right beside her meant she barely slept the first night, afraid to make a sound or even turn over for fear of disturbing her.

The next two days, she used the excuse that Xiao Jing and Cong Die kept getting up at night and woke her up. She switched places, letting Cong Die sleep on the edge.

After returning to school, she couldn’t stop thinking about that first night, deeply regretting her timidity and countless times regretting switching places with Xiao Jing.

Lin Zhixi smiled at Cong Die: “Don’t worry, you sleep very soundly. You don’t crowd people.”

When they checked in at the front desk, Yue Lei took everyone’s IDs, winked at her wife to pull Cong Die away, and went to book the rooms alone. She requested two connecting rooms to make everything convenient.

Tired from the journey, they agreed to rest in their rooms for a while and come out for activities once the weather cooled down a bit.

Upon arriving in the room, Yue Lei thoroughly checked the place, confirming the bedding had been changed, the air conditioning worked fine, and there was no mold in the bathroom before accepting the room. She then called Mo Yingxue over to help change the sheets.

Even though the hotel’s sheets and covers were clean, she felt uneasy and preferred to bring her own from home, even if it meant more work.

While busy, Yue Lei spoke with concern: “You don’t know, but they have a lot of standard rooms here, and the price is plastered all over the wall. If you hadn’t pulled Cong Die away, she might have seen it immediately.”

Mo Yingxue found it amusing and gave her a mocking look: “Do you think simply forcing them to stay together and share a bed will solve the problem?”

Yue Lei swallowed, finding it hard to answer. After a moment, she finally said: “Well… I can’t be sure about that, but we did have physical contact before our feelings deepened, didn’t we?”

“But our situations are different,” Mo Yingxue shrugged. “I like girls, so I was quite fond of you from the start and had a good impression of you.

Although Cong Die likes Lin Zhixi well enough, it’s definitely not the same kind of liking as mine.” She smiled: “I can guarantee that if those two stay together, the only one suffering will be Lin Zhixi.”

Thinking about the pain of having her beloved lying right next to her, close enough to smell but with absolutely no chance of touching, made Yue Lei feel a chill.

She turned and lay down on the freshly changed duvet, covering her face with both hands: “It’s over then. There’s a saying that distance makes the heart grow fonder. Now I’ve completely eliminated the distance between them…”

“It’s alright,” Mo Yingxue kneeled on the bed, scooted over to her, and collapsed into her arms: “I don’t think they’ll make any progress emotionally, but it probably won’t get any worse either.”

Hearing this, Yue Lei felt less regretful. She hugged Mo Yingxue, kissed her nose, and gazed at her with a beaming smile.

Her deep eyes held a look that was passionate enough to be directed at a dog.

Mo Yingxue felt a sudden nervousness, unsure if what they hadn’t done last night was going to happen today. Would their first time be during the day? With friends just next door, that seemed improper…

However, Yue Lei just looked at her, giggling foolishly for a while, and then continued to kiss and sniff her like a puppy.

Mo Yingxue felt herself losing control, her body softening again and again. Several times, she wanted to grab her arm and boldly invite her.

But suddenly, Yue Lei quickly scrambled up from the bed. She plopped down at the desk, organizing her things and styling her wig: “Skydiving is set for tomorrow morning. I’ll shoot some Zhang Zhenni countryside vlogs today. I need to do my hair and makeup!”

Perhaps I shouldn’t have encouraged her to take the Zhang Zhenni role so seriously?

In the previous life, she knew this girl was an absolute workaholic.

She might be lazy and carefree most of the time, but the moment anything related to her company came up, she transformed back into the formidable CEO Yue. Even when fulfilling her duties as a wife, she would finish as quickly as possible and rush off.

Thinking of this, Mo Yingxue’s eyes darkened slightly. Where Yue Lei couldn’t see her, she glared at her menacingly, her fingers slowly tightening their grip on the blanket.

Only Yue Lei knew that her own heartstrings were utterly tangled at this moment.

Before they formalized their relationship, she could control herself during their playful moments. She told herself they weren’t together, so she couldn’t think or do anything inappropriate. All the intimacy was stolen moments, and even a quick taste was a luxury.

But now they were a couple in love. The little moans and muffled sighs Xiao Xue made when she kissed and caressed her had become a natural aphrodisiac, making Yue Lei’s heart race. She wanted her.

Mo Yingxue definitely didn’t know how adorable she was—blushing, eyes misty with desire, and her voice sweetly playful—or how irresistible she was. Yue Lei was unsure if being so forward would scare Xiao Xue, or if it would ruin the current tenderness.

In the previous life, right after they got together, she was afraid Mo Yingxue would regret it, so she deliberately lured her to a hotel, doing everything she could to please her.

They hadn’t gotten to know each other’s emotional needs or established an intimate routine. They completely skipped the dating phase and became physically addicted to each other.

They took too big a step too soon. This led to them feeling like the most familiar strangers later on. Yue Lei would tap Xiao Xue’s waist, and she would know to change position. But whether Xiao Xue preferred milk or soy milk for breakfast, she was too embarrassed to ask, so she just had the housekeeper make both.

There were many conflicts in the trivialities of daily life. She was bad at handling these things, and every time she saw an argument brewing, she would either change the subject, act childishly to pull her toward the bed, or just make an excuse and run off.

Yue Lei didn’t want Xiao Xue to see her emotionally volatile or fiery side. This resulted in her having to put on a civilized facade in front of the person she loved.

Yue Lei didn’t want this again. She could endure anything. This time, Xiao Xue had confessed to her first. Their relationship had never been this good in both lifetimes combined. She didn’t want to destroy this hard-won affection with her own hands.

Even though Xiao Xue wasn’t trying to seduce her, her mind was filled with “lewd trash.”

The image of Xiao Xue trembling beneath her, lightly moaning while clinging to her arm in the previous life, kept flashing before Yue Lei. Her breathing grew ragged. Her hand applying eyeliner became unsteady, failing to draw a straight line several times.

Finally, she had to angrily wipe off all her eye makeup and reapply a look that didn’t require eyeliner.

Mo Yingxue watched Yue Lei’s back, and the anger in her heart gradually faded. Although her desire wasn’t satisfied, leaving her feeling a little frustrated, she clearly felt Yue Lei’s breathing grow heavy and her makeup application become clumsy.

Mo Yingxue was very satisfied with everything she saw. After all, if she held no attraction for her, Yue Lei wouldn’t have jumped up and run away like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

She reasoned that perhaps the Yue Lei of this life was still young and not so consumed by that kind of thing.

She might be too innocent and not as lustful. Pure love is fine, she thought, but what if constantly holding back makes her snap? Mo Yingxue silently set a deadline for herself: if Yue Lei didn’t make a move soon, she would have to seduce her.
