The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 35

Prev | Directory | Next

He wasn't the type to scold his wife in public. If they were back home and she was just messing around instead of eating properly, she probably would've been taught a lesson until she was crying.

The girl lowered her head and held her bowl with both hands, eating slowly in little bites, but with a good appetite.

She still had a bit of baby fat on her face, and when she ate, she looked like a little squirrel.

Mei Hesheng's face stayed calm, but she was basically melting inside. How could there be such an adorable girl?

After the meal, Yu Jingxing and his dad went upstairs to talk business.

Mei Hesheng took Qi Zhen to the home theater in the basement, snacking on treats while watching a movie together.

At first, Qi Zhen was a little nervous around her, but after chatting a bit, she realized Mei Hesheng wasn't actually scary at all.

Ms. Mei asked casually, "How's your health lately? Been throwing up a lot?"

Qi Zhen only then realized what she meant and quickly said, "I'm not pregnant."

Mei Hesheng scrolled through Weibo, sounding a little annoyed. "They sounded so convincing in their analysis, I really thought it was true."

Then she asked Qi Zhen if she'd watched any of Yu Jingxing's movies.

Qi Zhen was expected to say yes without hesitation, but instead she shook her head. "Not many movies. But I didn't miss a single episode of his dramas."

So Mei Hesheng picked out a movie. "How about we watch this one together?"

The movie was called "The Destitute", apparently an old film from ten years ago.

The cover showed Yu Jingxing's face split in two—a bloody, teary, gloomy side, and a refined, gentle smile on the other.

Qi Zhen curled her fingers but still nodded obediently.

Mei Hesheng then took out her phone, carefully angled the snacks and teapot for photos, and included the DVD cover of "The Destitute".

She started posting on Weibo.

Mei Hesheng: [Photo] Heart-to-heart time with my daughter-in-law.

Qi Zhen: "......"

A push notification popped up. Qi Zhen felt kind of awkward. "What made you decide to post on Weibo?"

Mei Hesheng lifted her perfectly shaped chin and said a bit loftily, "Some of Jingxing's fans think I look down on you. So I'm posting this to shut them up."

Perfect. Total queen energy.

Qi Zhen couldn't help laughing, making Mei Hesheng glance at her, and then they both smiled a little.

When a new daughter-in-law hangs out with her mother-in-law, it's inevitable that the topic drifts to the husband. So the two of them leaned closer and started the movie.

Of course, Qi Zhen hadn't seen this one before, but Mei Hesheng, as the mom, had watched it tons of times.

She smiled and said, "He's done so many movies, but this one's still my favorite. Don't know if you noticed—Jingxing's face doesn't quite suit overly righteous roles. He's way more believable playing the villain."

Qi Zhen: "......"

For a moment, she didn't know whether it was praise or criticism.

The movie told the life story of a male protagonist with antisocial personality disorder. At birth, someone taught him to do good, but his abnormal nature always made him overly sensitive to blood.

In college, his roommate missed a step on the bed and hit the back of his head, blood spreading everywhere.

Yu Jingxing played the male lead, Ren Mo. After the shock and panic, instead of immediately calling 911, he seemed hypnotized, dipping his finger into the fresh blood, putting it to his lips, trembling all over, caught between fear and desire, unable to tell what he was feeling.

The camera never showed Yu Jingxing's face, only his thin back in a cheap white shirt, his neck stretched and shivering, breaths rising and falling.

This was the first time he faced death so directly.

After college, following a series of struggles and hardships, he rose to become a corporate executive. A junior from the same school pursued him passionately, and he agreed to date her. At night, in a hotel bed, the junior moaned in pain and pleasure. Sweat dripped down Ren Mo's forehead as he stared at the woman's pale neck for a long time, restrained and silent.

The camera shifted slightly—his eyes were calm, even a little cold and deep. He seemed indifferent about sex.

The film won awards internationally but was banned domestically for being too bloody and dark.

Mei Hesheng watched with keen interest, pride written all over her face.

Qi Zhen: "......"

Mei Hesheng noticed her daughter-in-law looked off and quickly turned off the movie, carefully comforting her, "It's all fake, just a movie. He's a really good person, with solid values. Don't be afraid."

Qi Zhen knew it was fake and shook her head calmly, "It's fine."

She wrote horror stories herself and wasn't fazed by this level of spookiness. But Yu Jingxing's acting was so good that he made the psychopath come alive—still a bit scary.

That night, Mei Hesheng took her to a room—a delicate pale pink, very girly.

Holding Qi Zhen's hand, she said, "This is your room. Next door is Jingxing's. Our family likes married couples to sleep separately, but if you miss your husband, you can just open the door and find him."

She winked, "But women do need their private space."

Qi Zhen couldn't help but smile softly.

Yu Jingxing and the old man returned from their talk. Qi Zhen had already showered.

The girl, scented and fresh, sat by the bed, playing with her skirt and applying body lotion. The bedside lamp gave off a dim, warm glow.

Suddenly, the door connecting to the next room creaked open.

Downstairs, Mei Hesheng was eating breakfast—very traditional Chinese-style. Since their daughter-in-law was from Haicheng, she even had the housekeeper make a few local snacks.

She gave him a glance and said with a touch of disdain, "Where's your little darling?"

Yu Jingxing took a sip of soy milk and replied mildly, "Still asleep."

Mei Hesheng clicked her tongue and started sharing her wisdom, "She's way too young. This might not be good for your relationship."

Their family was always pretty open-minded, thanks to Mei Hesheng, and Yu Jingxing had studied in the U.S. when he was younger, so he had a very Western outlook.

He didn't argue, just said, "No condom. She doesn't want to get pregnant."
