The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 55

Prev | Directory | Next

Well, some of the packaging looked cute, but the snacks weren't actually that good. So Qi Zhen didn't even bother to open them out of curiosity and just dumped them all on her three roommates' desks.

While she was unpacking, Jing Zi woke up, stared at her for a second, and said lazily, "Haven't seen you in such a short time, and you're already exuding full-on married woman vibes."

Qi Zhen, deadpan: "..."

Does everyone who knows she's married have to talk like this?!

Jing Zi picked up her toothbrush cup and toothpaste and headed to the bathroom, eyes half-shut but still sharp, giving her that mother-hen-staring-at-daughter look. "Not joking. Go look in the mirror."

Qi Zhen picked up a mirror and checked—didn't seem like much had changed.

Only her eyes looked a little different. There was a kind of soft flirtiness in them, not really like an inexperienced girl anymore.

Still, probably only people who knew her well would notice.

Feeling a little wronged, she blinked and thought maybe it was just her body not fully recovering yet—she'd been so exhausted lately.

Qi Zhen lowered her head and carefully organized her things. The underwear Yu Jingxing packed for her were all basic styles, plain white panties with no patterns at all.

What college girl still wore stuff like that? Was he stuck in the Republic of China era or something?

He wasn't good with makeup either, so he just grabbed some popular foundation brands, a few lipsticks, some blush, and stuffed it all into a makeup bag for her.

Not long after, Li Yuanyuan came back too. Qi Zhen was squatting on the floor, flipping through the books Yu Jingxing had packed for her.

She hadn't expected him to even prep "spiritual nourishment" for a college girl.

To Live, The Collected Poems of Yeats, Plants of the Human World, and Descartes — Discourse on the Method.

Qi Zhen stared at them, completely baffled, then casually stuffed the hardcover books back into the drawer.

Jing Zi burst out laughing. "Packing luggage but looking so conflicted. You look so pitiful."

Qi Zhen said, "My husband packed it all. I don't even get why he crammed so many books in."

The girl frowned and sniffled. "He's so annoying."

Jing Zi: "..."

Oof. That jealousy.

Li Yuanyuan walked in with her water bottle, all sweaty and glowing with that "just-in-love" aura.

She pinched Qi Zhen's soft, squishy cheeks and sighed, "Not gonna lie, I saw your back from a distance and totally thought you were my idol's wife."

Jing Zi asked why while munching on snacks, and Li Yuanyuan opened her phone, pulled up Weibo, and said, "A fan took this photo. Look at that back, that height, that skin tone."

Slim and snow-white, with super straight legs, wearing a plain dress, small and dainty, nestled in Film Emperor Yu's arms as he shielded her face. The shot was a little blurry, but still.

The man's side profile didn't show much emotion. Behind his tinted sunglasses, he looked a bit indifferent facing the camera.

Li Yuanyuan let out a sigh. "I get it now. Even without my fan goggles on, that protective posture is so obvious. I can't help but want to ship it—cold aloof male god and his soft little normie wife."

Qi Zhen said nothing, quietly focused on making her bed.

Li Yuanyuan picked up a bag of snacks and joked, "Doraemon baby, there's so much good food here. What's your Sister Yuanyuan supposed to do when she's on a diet?"

Jing Zi offered, "Pick the low-calorie stuff."

But the more she picked, the hungrier she got—liquor-filled chocolates, dark chocolate chips, a fancy box of French pastries... then she dug around and pulled out a long pink rectangular box.

Li Yuanyuan let out a confused "Huh?" and asked, "What is this?"

"Early pregnancy test?"

Qi Zhen stiffly turned her neck, mind going completely blank. She followed the line of sight and saw the unfamiliar little pink box in Li Yuanyuan's hands.

Her face turned bright red in an instant. She reached out quickly, stammering, "P-probably something my husband packed by mistake, I'm sorry."

Yu Jingxing hadn't even mentioned it to her!

Li Yuanyuan had wanted to tease her, but seeing her like that, she decided not to scare the baby-faced girl and just rolled her eyes. "What, your husband's so desperate for a kid he's seeing red? These older guys are terrifying. Does he think stuffing a pregnancy test in your bag will magically work? What's next, a spiritually blessed pee stick?"

Qi Zhen had no idea how to explain, quickly snatched the box back, face red like a tomato. "No, no, it's not like that."

Then she suddenly remembered—two nights ago, she had asked him to roleplay as a silver-haired bad-boy delinquent.

Things got a little too heated, and they both got carried away. The condom had torn.

Even though she'd made Yu Jingxing switch it out right away, it wasn't 100% foolproof.

She touched her lower belly and drooped like a sad puppy.

Please no... she really wasn't ready to be a mom yet.

Li Yuanyuan saw how conflicted and pitiful she looked and pulled Qi Zhen over to comfort her. "Oh come on, don't stress too much about this. I had a senior back in school—she and her husband are both super healthy, they've been trying for a baby for a whole year and still nothing. It's not that easy to get pregnant just from messing around, you know? You think getting pregnant is like playing house or something?"

Trying hard didn't guarantee anything, but being careless might just...

Qi Zhen instantly wilted. What if being careless really did work?

She still had school. She so didn't want to become the center of gossip.

"Some rando from the media department went abroad on exchange while pregnant!"

"Did you hear?! That girl in the dorm next door is actually pregnant, lol what a story!"

She'd totally become a joke people talked about over lunch.

Like some cursed noise buzzing in her ear while she got nailed to the Pillar of Shame. Ugh.

Plus, her body wasn't that great. Even though Yu Jingxing had been super attentive to her health, it wasn't like her constitution could change overnight. And babies born from weak moms like her were said to be born frail too.

...She herself was born frail!

That thought made Qi Zhen even more anxious.

Li Yuanyuan looked at her soft, pale bun-like face, feeling bad, and couldn't help reaching over to pinch it a few times. Baby fat made it extra squishy. "If you're that worried, just take a test. If it's negative, then chill and focus on school. Just be more careful from now on."
