Three Sentences That Made My Ex-Wife Spit Blood - Chapter 82

“How could I ever leave you?” Yan Qinglan wiped the water off her hands, sat down, gently pushed Wen Qingxun to the side, and pulled Wen Huaxi tightly into her arms.

“Did you fall asleep just now? Did you dream about something?”

“I dreamed… about your previous life.”

Wen Huaxi curled into Yan Qinglan’s embrace. At first, she hadn’t planned on saying anything. It was enough that she knew.

But being held so securely in Yan Qinglan’s arms, not only did her tears become uncontrollable, so did her need to speak.

“I dreamed about those ten years. You never forgot me. You took revenge one by one for both me and your mother. And then…”

Wen Huaxi’s voice caught again.

“Even though you never told me, I know it was all real. That’s why… it hurts so much.”

“It’s all in the past now, my Xiaoxi.”

Yan Qinglan thought of how the heavens always seemed to play tricks on her. Every time she tried to hide something from Wen Huaxi, she would always find out. But when she wanted to express her love, time never allowed her the chance.

“At least I still had you in my thoughts. I still had the chance to see you again, to love you,” Yan Qinglan said as she gently stroked Wen Huaxi’s hair.

“You went through so much. I just feel heartbroken for you.” Wen Huaxi raised her hand and smoothed Yan Qinglan’s hair in return.

If it had been her, she might not have made it through those ten years. Even if revenge had kept her going, she might have given up halfway, dying with regret.

Now that she had witnessed the ending of their past life, she could finally let go of those missed chances and all the what-ifs.

Yan Qinglan’s love had never been a joke. It had been carefully thought through, held back for an entire lifetime, aged like wine over ten long years before finally being spoken aloud.

“I’ll help you,” Wen Huaxi said suddenly. She had originally said she would stay in the living room to look after their daughter, but now she betrayed that promise without hesitation.

The two adults left their little girl behind and ran off together, leaving their unexpected baby behind once again, a child who had quietly played such a significant role.

Truly, she had been an accident between her two moms.

Wen Qingxun didn’t even feel like crying anymore. She pouted, but there was no one to be annoyed with.

Might as well go to sleep. At least when it came to helping her moms fall in love, no one had contributed more than her.

This family would fall apart without her.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and the variety show had finished filming. Wen Huaxi’s next film was just beginning production.

It was a good script, one she had never filmed in her previous life. She had auditioned for it before and now was cast.

The shooting location was far from the capital, so Yan Qinglan brought their daughter along and flew there with her. They stayed together in the hotel and sometimes accompanied Wen Huaxi on set.

Of course, their daughter couldn’t go to the filming site. She stayed in the hotel with the butler who traveled with them.

Meanwhile, the first episode of the variety show had finished editing and was scheduled to premiere that weekend.

Wen Huaxi was genuinely curious about how the production team had edited the footage, so she pulled Yan Qinglan to watch it together over dinner in the hotel.

Her debut film had already been released and was practically a massive hit.

Since it was a summer release, it broke box office records. Even on the streets, people were discussing it.

Going out had become a bit of a challenge.

Thinking back to the previous day, when she had to dodge fans just to have a quiet meal, Wen Huaxi felt for a moment like she had returned to the days in her previous life when she had become a superstar.

Thanks to the film’s popularity, the variety show had timed its release perfectly, using her fame to gain attention.

As soon as the episode started, they saw the viewer count in the lower-left corner quickly pass one million, and it kept climbing.

“Should we turn on the comments?” Yan Qinglan frowned as she looked at the colorful wave of live chat messages all calling Wen Huaxi their wife.

“Turn them on. Just lower the opacity a bit,” Wen Huaxi said while tapping on the screen.

“Don’t be jealous. Soon, they’ll all know I’m your wife.”

After adjusting the settings, she also had to comfort her clearly jealous and flustered wife.

“Once they find out, they’ll all become couple fans. They’ll even make fanfiction and art of us.”

Hearing that only made Yan Qinglan’s expression darker.

She remembered how, in her previous life, she had stayed out of the public eye. No one knew that Wen Huaxi had been married. Everyone shipped her with different people, especially with Lu Tong. Their fanbase was the largest.

After Wen Huaxi passed away, Yan Qinglan had searched the internet for every trace of her, digging through every tag and forum that mentioned her name.

What she found were countless fan-made stories and drawings of Wen Huaxi with other people. She had almost smashed her computer.

Even though the situation was different now, that suffocating feeling in her chest hadn’t gone away.

By the time the show officially started, Yan Qinglan had finished being jealous. She moved closer to Wen Huaxi and began feeding her bites of dinner.

The fan comments had already piled up like a mountain.

Yan Qinglan had already seen the final cut. She glanced at the screen to see where they were in the episode and looked at how the audience was reacting.

The comments filled the screen.

“Huaxi is so naturally beautiful. Even this messy makeup looks good on her.”
“It really looks like she did her own makeup.”
“Who’s that older girl next to her? She has such an elegant vibe. But why is she sticking so close to Huaxi?”
“Can’t see her face clearly, but that figure is unreal.”
“Just saying… is this still a dating show? Are we getting…”
“No way. Please, I just became her fan. Don’t ruin it already.”

The next moment on screen, Yan Qinglan gently held Wen Huaxi’s hand and said, “Your eye makeup doesn’t look quite right today.”

“Really? I didn’t even check before heading out. You were the one who did it for me, and now you’re complaining?”

The comments went silent for a second.

Then, after Yan Qinglan reached out to wipe the corner of Wen Huaxi’s eye, the chat exploded.

“Wait, what did I just see? Are they… really?”
“Huaxi, please think clearly. You just debuted and already have such a strong film. Don’t throw it all away.”
“I only care about good looks. That woman beside her is shockingly attractive. I need to think this through.”
“These two are too perfect. I’m shipping them right now. No one can stop me.”

Wen Huaxi stared at the comments and the rapidly rising search trends, feeling a bit stunned.

She could not even remember Yan Qinglan being so shameless that day.

“Maybe I’ve been shameless too many times. It’s normal if you don’t remember each one,” Yan Qinglan said, clearly reading Wen Huaxi’s thoughts.

Wen Huaxi pinched her waist and gave her a sideways glare before turning back to continue watching the edit.

Next came introductions for the other cast members, their backstories, and the start of the mystery-solving journey.

The comments slowed down noticeably. Most fan groups had gone back to organizing content for their favorites. Only a few viewers remained, casually commenting on how unique Yin Fujun and Fu Chenyang’s auras felt.

Though Yan Qinglan and Wen Huaxi didn’t interact much during the middle part of the show, their intimate atmosphere was unmistakable. The quiet familiarity between them felt like that of a long-married couple, something that could never be faked.

At this point, most of the solo fans who only supported Wen Huaxi had disappeared from the comment section.

Soon, the show reached the scene where Yan Qinglan made her dramatic and unforgettable comment about buying rings.

“Wait, aren’t they moving a little too fast?”
“I thought this was a dating show, not a couple’s reality program.”
“I looked away for two minutes to message my friend, and now they’re already at this stage? Can someone explain what I missed?”

Wen Huaxi had to admit it. She was impressed. Yan Qinglan had so many tricks up her sleeve, there was no way to guard against her.

Before fans had time to calm down or comment under her latest social media post, the episode moved on to an even more shocking scene.

One moment, Yan Qinglan was calmly analyzing a puzzle. The next moment, a spiderweb dropped in front of her. In a flash, she jumped behind Wen Huaxi, hiding like a startled cat and refusing to even look.

When Wen Huaxi tried to push her forward, Yan Qinglan pouted and said she was scared, even clinging to her and acting sweet.

“I really am scared,” Yan Qinglan said firmly, not flinching under Wen Huaxi’s skeptical gaze.

“Hmph. I know you are. Sister Qing, you must have already watched the raw footage. You’re one of the main investors. There’s no way the crew would dare include such an image-breaking scene without your approval,” Wen Huaxi finally grabbed Yan Qinglan by the cheek.

“Yes,” Yan Qinglan admitted without hesitation.

She leaned down and kissed Wen Huaxi. “At least the effect turned out great.”

By now, no one in the comment section was calling Wen Huaxi their wife anymore. The screen was filled with messages like “This is so sweet,” “I can’t handle this,” and “Best couple of the year, confirmed.”

“Of course it worked. You stepped in personally. Once Sister Qing takes action, no solo fan can survive.”

Wen Huaxi’s tone was half mocking, half affectionate.

But she was holding on to Yan Qinglan tightly. She wasn’t actually angry. If anything, she was just teasing her.

“Alright, give me your hand. Let’s make it official.”

With how close they were acting, there was no way to hide it. Besides, she had no intention of hiding in the first place.

Keeping their marriage a secret belonged to her past life. In this one, she wanted to be open and proud of being with Yan Qinglan.

Yan Qinglan’s eyes lit up immediately.

“One second, baby.” She reached for her bag and pulled out several ring boxes.

Wen Huaxi had already guessed what she was about to do. It was too late to stop her. She watched as Yan Qinglan opened the boxes and started putting on each ring, one after another.

“Sister Qing, didn’t I tell you to pick just one that you liked? Why did you bring all of them?”

Wen Huaxi had always struggled to make decisions. She could not pick a favorite design, so she bought all the ones she liked.

Pushing the decision onto someone else, especially her wife, had always been her go-to move.

“They were all from you. How could I possibly choose just one?” Yan Qinglan answered as she slipped the rings on her fingers. She wore a different one every day.

Wen Huaxi couldn’t argue with her. It wasn’t her who looked ridiculous wearing multiple rings. Let Sister Qing show off if she wanted.

She held hands with Yan Qinglan, picked an angle that clearly showed the rings without being too flashy, took a photo, and posted it online.

In an instant, she and Yan Qinglan shot to the top of the entertainment trending list.

Fans who had not watched the show yet clicked in and were completely confused.

“What’s happening? Is this a relationship announcement?”
“Is Huaxi just showing off her new rings? Did she use a hand model because she bought too many?”

Meanwhile, the fans who had been watching the show figured it out quickly and began explaining to the confused newcomers.

“Stop calling her your wife. Our girl already has a partner.”
“We just watched Sister Qing ask the question on the show. Now they’re posting photos. There’s no way this is fake.”
“That’s the ring finger on her left hand. There’s no way that’s a hand model. Is Wen Huaxi married already? That’s a fast development.”

Of course, some obsessive solo fans were not happy.

“You just debuted, and your relationship is already exposed. Can’t you be more careful?”
“You had such a strong start, and now it’s ruined just like that?”
“You were our biggest hope in domestic entertainment. In just a few days, you’ve let everyone down. Falling in love this fast is disappointing.”

But the more rational fans quickly clapped back.

“She’s an adult. She can date whoever she wants. It’s not like she cheated. Sister Qing is amazing. What’s the problem?”
“Seriously, has her acting quality dropped? Are her roles suddenly bad? No. So why does dating mean she doesn’t value her career?”

Wen Huaxi liked one of the comments that said, “She’s an actress. Her work matters more than her personal life.” That one simple like ended most of the argument online.

The show’s director saw Wen Huaxi post the photo and didn’t even have time to stop her.

Their show was supposed to be about teasing potential romances and letting fans guess which couples might form. The first episode wasn’t even finished, and everyone already knew who was real. It seemed like a disaster.

But when she saw the show’s numbers, which were far above expectations, she changed her mind immediately.

She took back everything she had been thinking. This was absolutely a couple-centered dating show. There was no need for so many rules.

If Wen Huaxi wanted to post ten more romantic updates, she could. The show could handle it. It was amazing for their ratings.

Two hours later, the first episode of the dating show ended perfectly.

Wen Huaxi glanced one last time at the three trending hashtags tied to her name. Then she turned off her notifications and went to join Sister Qing to do exactly what every couple fan online had been dreaming of.
