The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 53

But no matter what she said, he always understood. He could figure out her meaning right away. And whether it was knowledge or common sense, Yu Jingxing knew it all. Talking to him was always fun.

His elegance, intellect, and patience made her admire and fall for him even more.

Everyone had told her, "A mature guy marrying a loli—there's such a huge generation gap."

Like Mariana Trench-level deep.

But Qi Zhen never felt it. She just felt like she was becoming even more of a kid.

...

And as a kid, of course she had to drink her favorite fizzy sugar water.

Mm-hmm, totally necessary. So happy. Gonna sing.

She hummed a little tune and opened the fridge—only to find there was no fizzy sugar water inside.

Qi Zhen pouted, her imaginary tail dragging on the ground.

Did Yu Jingxing not trust her even with something this basic?

Sure, she had snuck some before, but that didn't mean he had to lose all faith in her!

She wandered through the big, empty villa, searching everywhere, and finally found a half bottle of Coke on the kitchen counter, room temperature.

No idea why Yu Jingxing would leave it there.

But thinking about it, maybe he knew she'd sneak some anyway, so he left it out to warm up on purpose.

Qi Zhen scrunched her face into a bun, opened WeChat, recorded a short voice message, and exited the app.

In the VIP lounge, Chen Ao watched Yu Jingxing pull out his phone, open the message slowly and calmly.

Then came a soft, slow loli voice, in a whispery Haicheng accent:

"How could you do this to me? I hate you! Hmph!"

A low chuckle came from the man beside him—humble and self-deprecating.

Chen Ao: "......"

Dignity didn't mean much to him anymore—he just felt way too sour right now.

He sent a message to his wife:
[Tired. Send me a voice note and act cute for me.]

His wife, Best Actress Shu Yan, replied with a voice message in seconds:
[Transcribed: Get lost. You hear me? Get. Lost.]

Chen Ao: "......"

Good thing he had his earphones in. Otherwise, that would've been really embarrassing—there goes the big director vibe.

Great. Whatever. Just another lemony day for him.

Qi Zhen sipped the Coke gloomily.

Coke without ice had no soul.

A villa all to herself, sleeping alone... she felt like a lonely old woman in an empty nest.

She hadn't really checked Weibo, WeChat, or Bilibili these past couple days.

Because she had a husband—living the normie dream—so she didn't need them.

But the moment he left, she suddenly realized just how important internet access was, and how colorful the online world could be.

Way more fun than her husband—like ten thousand times more.

She scrolled through Weibo and forums related to Yu Jingxing. Last time when they went out and got papped, the photos were mostly side shots or silhouettes. Since Yu Jingxing had been super careful covering her face, no one figured out who she was.

Still, some casual fans mentioned her. They said Mrs. Yu had super fair skin and long, slender legs. Definitely didn't look like the so-called "ugly nobody" the rumors made her out to be.

@EatingFrogClam:
That skin tone's at least cool-tone pale. Might even be brighter than the average pale girl. For a girl to be this fair, that's seriously a blessing. As someone who's worked as a professional makeup artist for years, I can tell you Mrs. Yu's face can't be too bad—if she's even a little delicate-looking, she's straight-up fairy-tier. Haters need to stop. Go plant some vegetables or something.

Any rational bystander would think: even if looks shouldn't matter, Yu Jingxing's taste as a movie king should still count for something, right? Why would he marry some monster for no reason?

Some people agreed, but a few stubborn fans weren't having it.

They brought up that fan from the airport who posted with "receipts," including boarding pass details.

That same fan—who'd gone viral with her post calling Qi Zhen ugly—started going off again.

@ScenicLittleWifey:
mmp my DMs are exploding, you think I'm scared of you just 'cause I posted my boarding pass? I said it before, I saw it with my own eyes—hubby married a total ogre. Flat nose bridge, flared nostrils, generic basic face, total submissive maid look. Don't believe me? Whatever. I'm just telling it like it is, tsk.

Below that were replies from some little fans hyping her up.

@AdoringHoney:
Sister, don't be mad, hugs. These people just don't appreciate the truth. Everyone knows you're just being straightforward. We believe you! Muah!

@sy1997:
Please don't be upset. Time will tell the truth. I don't believe our male god really loves his wife. He's just super well-mannered and gentlemanly, that's all.

Qi Zhen scrolled down and saw a whole string of similar comments.

She kinda wanted to sigh.

Honestly, they were just doing all this because they knew Yu Jingxing wouldn't come after them. The law didn't punish mobs—and even if it did, dealing with them was no easy task.

She'd told Yu Jingxing not to talk about her much in public. As long as they were happy in private, that was enough. There was no point fighting with fans and going red in the face over it.

In fact, the more people brought her up, the harder it was for the topic of "Mrs. Yu" to fade. And that only increased the chances of her getting harassed. All she really wanted was to live a simple, quiet life after marriage.

Then she checked out the trending tab and saw that a group of CP fans had already quietly launched a bot account.

Qi Zhen was kinda shook.

One of the fan submissions stood out big time.
