The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 30

Prev | Directory | Next

After snapping a pic with her iPhone front cam, she fell into deep thought.

Qi Zhen let out an awkward laugh and looked down, fidgeting with her fingers. "Looking like Mom's not so bad."

What was so great about looking like Dad?

What if she didn't smile much? That would just make her face scream 'stay away, strangers'.

The kind of face that constantly said: indifferent.jpg.

But then again, if she did smile, she'd be super dreamy and gentle. That wasn't so bad either.

Too bad no one was listening to her.

Li Yuanyuan sighed. "You just don't get my anxiety. Your idol's career is on the rise—his agency wouldn't let him date even if he wanted to. But my idol... he owns his whole company. He's too powerful."

"He might just drop an official girlfriend announcement any second. My freaking head's spinning 360 degrees. I've turned into a full-on lemon demon."

She hoped her idol could have a happy home, but also dreaded some chick snatching him away.

Li Yuanyuan held her forehead in agony. "This kind of mental struggle is insane!"

Qi Zhen wasn't even a fangirl of Feng Tanzhi. No way she could relate to Li Yuanyuan's feels.

Still, the "sister-in-law" was kinda freaking out too.

Qi Zhen sprawled out on the bed and messaged Yu Jingxing:
[I saw the trending topic... what should I do?]

She typed a whole long paragraph, super serious:
[I know you really respect your fans, and I honestly don't want to make things hard for you.]

Yu Jingxing replied with just:
[Pick up the phone.]

Qi Zhen climbed off the bed, grabbed a jacket, and headed for the door.

Li Yuanyuan asked, "It's so late, where are you going?"

Qi Zhen didn't even look back. She almost ran out barefoot, came back to put on slippers, then looked up at her and said, "Calling my husband."

Li Yuanyuan stared blankly, refreshed her idol's fan page, and instantly felt like life in every dimension was just... over.

Sitting on a bench outside the dorm in her nightgown, she hung her head while the man's gentle voice came through the phone,
"I'll have Zhou Yuchen put out a clarification. You don't need to worry."

His tone was calm and steady, full of infinite patience, like he had everything under control.

Qi Zhen sniffled. "Won't that seem kinda forced?"

Yu Jingxing smiled slightly, composed and relaxed. "Public attention is always shifting. New things come up and distract them."

Sounded like some other celeb was about to get roasted—but maybe that was just her imagination.

Still, Qi Zhen knew Yu Jingxing had never gone out of his way to hide things from fans.

That had always been his rule. But now, it felt like he was about to break it.

Qi Zhen lowered her head. Her black hair slid off her shoulders, and her voice went soft, like she was being a little clingy.
"Let's go public, okay?"

She didn't want him to work so hard all by himself.

Yu Jingxing looked out the window at the clear blue sky, then shut his eyes and suddenly smiled. "Yeah."

She curled her toes awkwardly and pouted. "That's it? That's your reaction?"

Yu Jingxing said, "I just want you to be happy."

Qi Zhen wiggled her feet a little, shy. "Mhm... I'm happy."

Qi Zhen braced herself before falling asleep the next morning. Honestly, she'd been so nervous all night she barely got any rest. In a half-asleep daze, she finally heard a muffled scream.

Jing Zi was sipping soy milk, rubbing her forehead. "Calling ghosts or what? Don't wake Zhen-baby."

Li Yuanyuan's hands were shaking, eyes bloodshot. "My idol went public! Holy crap, I—what the actual—"

Jing Zi paused, then kept drinking her soy milk, mumbling, "Going public with a relationship? That's not a big deal. Grown men go a few years without a woman? Come on. Try to accept it. Don't turn into a lemon demon..."

Li Yuanyuan cut her off, looking crushed and ancient, "He went public with a marriage."

Jing Zi straight up spat her soy milk, coughing like mad, her face turning liver-purple.

Qi Zhen rubbed her eyes and peeked down from her bed rail at Li Yuanyuan. "Sorry..."

Li Yuanyuan looked at her, totally confused, then apologized. "My bad, babe. I'll keep it down, you go back to sleep."

Qi Zhen blinked slowly at her, then hugged her blanket and lay back down.

She'd tossed and turned all night and barely slept, and now the sheets were all wrinkled. Still couldn't fall asleep.

So she opened her phone and started scrolling—only then did she realize just how big the online buzz was over Yu Jingxing's marriage.

The top trending topics were all about him. The hype was off the charts.

One spark, and the whole internet caught fire.

There were lists of his rumored relationships over the past ten-plus years, talk about his ex, the Hong Kong actress Jiang Qian, and CP fans freaking out left and right.

Most people, though, were just sighing over how their era had finally ended. The god-tier idol they thought would stay untouchable forever had finally settled down.

Yu Jingxing's post was short and to the point.

Yu Jingxing: Just married, happy new life [photo].

The photo showed his hand wearing a wedding ring—long fingers, defined knuckles, clean nail beds.

Between his thumb and index finger were two bright red marriage certificates. Eye-catching.

No extra captions. Not a word about his wife. Just one line: Just married, happy new life.

Soon after, the official account of his agency, Shengguang Media, also posted a statement.

Same cool and minimalistic tone.

They asked fans and the public not to speculate or harass unrelated individuals. Yu Jingxing's wife was a non-celebrity and needed a quiet life, so she would not appear in the public eye. Barring any unexpected situations, there would be no further mentions of the marriage in any form.

Qi Zhen lay in bed, staring wide-eyed at the chandelier, and suddenly felt this strange sense of peace.

Honestly, he'd always done his best to give her the most calm, low-key life possible.

She scrolled through the replies under the agency's post. Fans were definitely losing it. And since Shengguang Media didn't have as many followers as Yu Jingxing himself, the top comments were all over the place.

Some were giving blessings, some were cursing the mysterious new wife, some were just stunned and couldn't even process it yet.
