When Qi Zhen woke up again, her fever had gone down, but she was still weak all over. Yu Jingxing fed her some porridge, but she only ate a couple of bites before stopping.

She looked at him with big eyes, "I still want to drink iced cola."

Yu Jingxing was patient, patting her head, "You can't drink that."

Qi Zhen turned her face away, "I don't like porridge."

Yu Jingxing set the bowl aside and took out a box of preserved fruits, "Then you have to take your medicine."

Tears welled up in Qi Zhen's eyes, "But I want to drink porridge."

Yu Jingxing took the porridge bowl back into his hands and kept feeding her, giving her a couple of spoonfuls before handing her a tissue to wipe the wet corners of her mouth.

She stayed at her in-laws' place for two more days until she felt much better and school was about to start.

Luo Linzhen messaged her on WeChat, asking her to come home for dinner, saying she forgave her and that she shouldn't stay out and avoid going home. She even complained that Fang Geng never came back at night and suspected him of cheating, sending over twenty long messages.

Qi Zhen didn't know how to reply.

Mei Hesheng said she would take her shopping before school started, saying that as a mother-in-law, she hadn't bought her daughter-in-law a proper gift yet.

Actually, Qi Zhen wasn't lacking anything; she already had what she needed.

Yu Jingxing gave her a secondary card, but she never used it—not because she was being polite with him, but because she naturally didn't have much shopping desire and was pretty indifferent to shoes, bags, and jewelry.

But Mei Hesheng loved that stuff.

She liked all the luxury goods—diamond rings, watches, necklaces, dresses—and even at home, she liked wearing them.

So the mother-in-law took Qi Zhen on a spree, even having a bunch of items custom-made on the spot at the H family's store. Luck was on their side: they happened to get an ostrich leather Constance bag, a small Kelly backpack, and a bunch of cute little charms.

Mei Hesheng touched the little girl's delicate pale face and sighed, "I think two other styles don't suit you—they're too powerful. Young girls are better off with something like this."

Qi Zhen: "..."

But Mei Hesheng made sure Qi Zhen wore sunglasses and a mask during the shopping trip, keeping her dresses and clothes wrapped up tightly.

Even so, in places with many Chinese people, it was inevitable: a public figure had no secrets. Soon, paparazzi caught them again and posted it on Weibo, sparking heated discussion.

Judging by the bags from H, C, and D stores in her hands, she was trying on watches with a girl at the P store. The store was clearing out, so couldn't get inside, but honestly, can't afford anything anyway [lemon][lemon]."

The photo was taken from a distance, only showing Qi Zhen's side face covered by a mask and sunglasses, a bit blurry. You could see her wrist looked thin and pale, holding up a watch, glancing left and right, then cutely looking back at her mother-in-law.

Scrolling down, the comments went like this:

Little Tiger Eating Cherry Tomatoes: "Is this Yu Jingxing's wife? Saw a boarding photo of her from behind, looks about the same shape, long straight black hair down to her waist... Emmm, gotta say she's really lucky. Goddess Mei's carrying the shopping bags while she has empty hands. Does she even have a clue about being a daughter-in-law?"

Double Blossom: "With my sharp eye, these bags add up to about a million yuan. Add in the watch from P store, and it's at least three to four million... Okay, I can't keep up. I'm so jealous. How come people are so different?"

Mousse Ice Cream: "Where's Yu Jingxing? The male god isn't around? Just wife and mom going shopping? Who's paying? [dog head][smirk]"

Pear Blossom Pressing Begonia 991: "I always wondered why Yu Jingxing suddenly got married. Probably not just a shotgun wedding. Looking at how Mei Hesheng's baby acts, the mother probably forced him. Heard Mei Hesheng has a fierce temper—used to be aggressive before retiring, even slapped people on set and sent them to the hospital. Doesn't she worry about her son? Forcing the male god to marry some short and ugly girl? Waking up at night with a scary demon wife, wouldn't you be terrified?"

La La La: "Actually, even though fans and bystanders speculate his wife is ugly, plain, a total washboard, looking at these photos... I still kinda think she's a little beauty. Skin so fair, how could she be ugly? No, I'm so jealous, better eat some spicy strips to calm down [lemon][husky]."

...

Qi Zhen was recovered but still a little weak. She scrolled through Weibo, already unfazed.

For her, as long as she didn't get exposed or show her face, it didn't matter.

But shockingly, Mei Hesheng actually went to the bottom of this Weibo post, replied, and reposted a certain netizen's comment.

Mei Hesheng replied to Pear Blossom Pressing Begonia 991:
"Watch your mouth, it won't kill you. If my son ever saw fans viciously slandering his wife, he'd hope you'd stop being his fan."

Originally, Mei Hesheng took Qi Zhen shopping, and since no one caught their faces clearly and without the "Film Emperor Yu" around, the topic only hovered around the top ten trending searches. But with the goddess's fiery temper, the heat instantly shot up to the front page.

Clicking the comments revealed mostly marketing accounts.

Most netizens were amazed, saying Qi Zhen must have saved the galaxy in a past life, to have such a fiercely protective and super-rich bossy mother-in-law. Even if her husband was a bit cold, it didn't matter.

Qi Zhen: "..."

She turned to look at Yu Jingxing, her previous resentment over not being allowed to drink iced cola completely gone, replaced by satisfaction and bliss. She playfully flicked her nonexistent tail, "Mother-in-law treats me so well."

Yu Jingxing came out of the shower, slowly drying his neck and abs. He said calmly, "Husband's not good?"

Qi Zhen sat cross-legged, looking up at him pitifully, "If husband were good to me..."

Yu Jingxing hummed, bent down to put on his shirt, and said lightly, "There still wouldn't be cola."

Qi Zhen lay back on the bed a bit disappointed, curling her toes and hugging her doll silently.

After a while, she refreshed Weibo — the trending topics had changed again.

Yu Jingxing reposted Mei Hesheng's Weibo.

Though it was a typically brief repost, the attitude was very firm and clear.
