The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 18

Prev | Directory | Next

Yu Jingxing made her sit up, hugged her, kissed her, and murmured, "Childish words."

Though exhausted, she couldn't rest—her own fault.

When Qi Zhen pulled the household register from the apartment drawer, she hesitated. If everything went smoothly with the registration, she might become a married woman that very night.

Qi Zhen drowsily washed her face, the sleepiness still lingering, ready to fall asleep at any moment. She tilted her head back, asking Yu Jingxing to apply her skincare products.

The girl mumbled but seriously asked, "So, after we get the certificate, I'll be a married woman, right?"

Yu Jingxing's hands were warm and dry, making her feel comfortable when they touched her face.

She heard his deep voice, "Being a married woman is not a derogatory term."

Qi Zhen twisted her body and hesitated, "But it sounds so old... What if the kids at school make fun of me?"

Yu Jingxing, momentarily puzzled by the generation gap, paused, his actions slowing.

Qi Zhen opened her eyes again, grabbing his hand firmly, saying, "Don't apply the serum on my neck or collarbone, and don't put it around my eyes. I have special eye serum for that. After the eye serum, I need to apply eye cream, and I need to massage and lift. The facial serum is on the left side..."

Yu Jingxing glanced at the bottles on her desk, at least dozens of them, each different and for a specific purpose. His gaze briefly returned to the girl.

After the night passed, there were marks on her neck and collarbones—ambiguous, with a hint of sultriness—but Qi Zhen still looked like an innocent little girl.

She sat on the chair, looking up at him, slowly swinging her soft, snow-white legs, her eyes filled with an undisguisable sense of dependency and admiration.

It seemed that after their first night together, Qi Zhen had become a little clingy, despite her best efforts to hide it.

It was an uncontrollable feeling—soft and sweet, and he couldn't be a step away from her.

Yu Jingxing glanced at her, pinched her chin gently, and bent down, applying her face cream just as she directed.

It was probably only a dozen steps or so. As he touched her collagen-filled face, he was gentle and patient.

The registration process was exceptionally fast. When they were done, Qi Zhen, still wearing a mask, looked a bit dazed.

She wasn't regretting it, but it just didn't feel real.

Yu Jingxing's assistant, Sister Sun, worked efficiently, and the appointment for the marriage certificate was completed quickly. Due to Yu Jingxing's status, they couldn't go too late, or they might get caught by the paparazzi, causing a huge scandal that Qi Zhen didn't want to deal with.

But despite their efforts, they were still photographed.

Yu Jingxing had been in the industry for nearly twenty years, and it was rare for him to be caught by paparazzi. Not only because he knew how to shake them off, but also due to his status and background in the entertainment industry.

After all, not every scandal could be handled smoothly, and Yu Jingxing was not someone that ordinary paparazzi could afford to mess with. He hadn't had to deal with rumors for a long time.

This time, it seemed like it was a fan who took the photos. It appeared that they were seen when they left the restaurant yesterday. Fortunately, Qi Zhen wore her long hair down and a coat of Yu Jingxing's, so no one could really recognize her, only vaguely identifying her as a girl.

Luckily, the person who took the photo didn't dare get any closer.

When they left the Civil Affairs Bureau, Qi Zhen was so exhausted she could barely keep her eyes open, but she still kept scrolling through Weibo on her phone. After a while, she came across a post about herself. Instantly, all the drowsiness vanished, leaving her feeling cold inside.

With shaky hands, she turned to her new husband, her eyes wide in disbelief. "Do you know we were photographed yesterday?"

Yu Jingxing, wearing frameless glasses, was reading a script and flipping through the pages. "Mm."

"What should we do?" Qi Zhen asked.

Yu Jingxing smiled and looked up at her. "Do you want to go public? I respect your opinion."

He looked so gentle with his glasses on, like a particularly handsome professor.

Qi Zhen thought for a moment, then obediently shook her head. "If possible, I don't want to be disturbed at school."

Yu Jingxing had many fans at S University, including in her dorm. If her face was photographed and she was publicly identified as Madam Yu, she might experience what it was like to be surrounded by zombies in a city.

It would probably feel... a bit too intense.

Yu Jingxing hummed in agreement and said, "Okay."

Qi Zhen squeezed the script in his hand and noticed that he hadn't gripped it tightly, almost like he was teasing her. She lifted her eyes and saw him smile faintly.

She gently pulled the script away from him.

After replying to the messages, Qi Zhen continued scrolling through Weibo.

As expected, just as she had requested, Yu Jingxing's management company denied the relationship and provided a reasonable explanation.

Qi Zhen covered her face, unsure if what she asked for was the right thing to do, because if the marriage was to last, keeping it private wouldn't be practical. She still had a few more years of school, and she didn't know if keeping everything a secret would lead to problems.

But she hadn't figured out what to do yet.

Yu Jingxing's attitude towards this matter was very calm.

He let Qi Zhen do whatever she wanted. For the film emperor, whether the relationship was made public or not wasn't a problem at his current position.

But a young girl's heart was another matter.

There was a big age gap between them, and sometimes it was normal not to understand each other.

Qi Zhen, at one moment, was clingy and wanted to stay close to him, but at other times, she didn't want anyone to know they were together. She just wanted to enjoy her time as a single girl in school.

Yu Jingxing hadn't had such rumors for a long time, so this hot search naturally exploded. Even some of the top trending topics were related to him.

But aside from the distant photo that was taken, there was no further news. Qi Zhen thought this was very normal. Though Yu Jingxing hadn't said anything, he had taken measures to suppress certain information.
