The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 45

Prev | Directory | Next

A girl standing in the back loudly asked him, "—Can you show us your wife?"

Yu Jingxing seemed not to hear and continued in a gentle, steady tone, "Let's stop following here. Please don't disturb the pedestrians coming in and out, okay?"

Qi Zhen turned her back, holding his hand, her silhouette hidden under Yu Jingxing's umbrella.

She lowered her eyes to the ground and could hear most of the fans agreeing. After they went inside, the crowd dispersed, though some stubborn ones seemed to linger outside.

Qi Zhen didn't regret walking with him because they couldn't avoid going out together forever, but she couldn't help feeling a bit strange inside.

The Yu Jingxing facing the fans didn't seem like the same man holding her hand.

Once inside the community, she started to get nervous.

They had talked before about what to bring to Grandma, but Qi Zhen had vetoed most of the gifts.

Because Grandma wasn't short on money, she might not care much for jewelry, which would just gather dust in drawers. Food and drinks could pile up and spoil—Grandma's colleagues, university friends, and subordinates regularly sent her plenty, so it wouldn't feel fresh.

So they decided to give Grandma Yu Jingxing's rare debut album, a signed photo, and VIP tickets to the premiere of his next movie.

Qi Zhen knew Grandma was a fan of Yu Jingxing. Grandma went to premieres in other cities when she could, but being older, she was more rational about fangirling and wasn't obsessed if she missed something.

Grandma's house had a keypad lock. Qi Zhen took a soft breath, opened the metal cover, and looked down to enter the code. She messed up one digit, cleared it, and entered it again.

When the door opened, the smell of cooking hit her, along with Shanshan upstairs nervously yelling.

"Grandma! Where's the dress I'm supposed to wear for graduation—didn't you say you already bought it? Hurry up, hurry! What if my crush sees me looking all sloppy in pajamas?!"

Then Grandma Qi's slow, lazy sigh, "Not bought yet. You graduate in over a year. Why rush?"

Shanshan was furious, "Can you pay more attention to me?!"

Then the door closed, and they both went silent.

Shanshan peeked out carefully.

She saw the man downstairs putting away his umbrella, his vibe calm and refined, with long legs, broad shoulders, and a slim, strong build. He took off his sunglasses and smiled at her.

Shanshan thought: Ah, I'm dead, ah, I'm dead—ah ah ah, ah, ah! Ahhhhh!

Shanshan's limbs were stiff, her brain almost stopped working. She swallowed dryly, showing a polite smile.

Grandma adjusted her gemstone necklace, diamond ring, jade bracelet, gold earrings, and a streak of red-dyed hair, then decisively pulled her granddaughter aside from behind.

The old lady stood gracefully on the platform and spoke kindly and elegantly to Yu Jingxing, "Jingxing, right? Don't be polite, this is your own home, come in and sit."

Then she saw Qi Zhen come in from outside, wearing a plain little dress. Her bangs were a bit wet, sticking to her snow-white smooth skin.

Grandma immediately dropped the high-class lady image, hurried down while grabbing a towel, and scolded her, "What's going on, you got wet again, huh? Last time you got wet and ran a fever close to forty degrees. I told you to be careful, careful, but you wouldn't listen!"

Qi Zhen looked at grandma and admitted her mistake, "I was wrong."

While grandma chased Qi Zhen to dry her hair, Shanshan immediately ran down, her face flushed with excitement, and said crisply, "Sister, brother-in-law, hello!"

Everyone could call him "male god," but not everyone could call him brother-in-law.

She was so happy, spinning around.

Yu Jingxing smiled and said, "Hello."

He handed the gift to Shanshan and asked, "Do you have a hairdryer?"

His voice was low and deep, so gentlemanly when asking.

Shanshan's face flushed hotter, and she quickly looked down, "Yes, yes, I'll get it for you."

Shanshan brought the hairdryer. Even though she had been warned many times, she couldn't help but sneak in her excitement, "I really love your roles as Ren Mo and the First Emperor, and in Asking the World with a Smile, the scene where the qin player plays the guqin blindfolded in the rainy night, casually killing the assassin, was just too cool! I heard you didn't even use a stunt double then, that's amazing! Also, I really like..."

Grandma laughed and interrupted, folding her arms, "What else? Hmm? Tell me."

Shanshan immediately shut up.

Yu Jingxing smiled a little and calmly said, "I'm honored, thank you."

Shanshan immediately felt it was worth it.

The man plugged in the hairdryer and gestured to his delicate wife. Qi Zhen quickly ran over from the "clutches," looking up at him.

Yu Jingxing clearly understood that Qi Zhen was probably in a blank state of mind right now.

Whenever someone seriously scolded her, she was always like this—looking serious but not listening at all.

He stroked Qi Zhen's soft face with his hand wearing a wedding ring and told her to sit properly.

Shanshan watched in awe but was pulled away by grandma, "Hurry up! Go wash the vegetables in the kitchen!"

Qi Zhen: "..."

Yu Jingxing blew dry Qi Zhen's bangs and the ends of her hair, then helped tie her hair up with a hair tie.

Her hair was already waist-length, smooth and beautiful like satin. According to Qi Zhen's preference, he tied it into twin ponytails, then she cupped her face and looked at Yu Jingxing.

Yu Jingxing touched her forehead; her temperature was normal. Then Qi Zhen hugged his slim waist and rubbed against him.

Grandma put her hands on her hips, the gemstones, diamonds, jade, and gold on her shining with a colorful brilliance. She gave her granddaughter a sharp look and said, "You too! Go wash the vegetables in the kitchen!"

Qi Zhen sniffled, then obediently walked toward the kitchen.

Grandma looked at her with a face full of affection. "This kid."

She went to get the tea set for Yu Jingxing to make tea, but he stopped her, smiling, "Let me do it."

Yu Jingxing's tea-making skills were very authentic, his movements neat and elegant. Grandma nodded as she watched.

The old lady sighed slowly while watching him make tea. "Zhenzhen's health isn't good, you probably know that."

Yu Jingxing handed her the tea and replied, "I know."
