The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 57

Prev | Directory | Next

That girl with glasses looked like one of the campus package handlers, probably asked to deliver something to someone at a specific dorm building. The big question was—who were the roses for?

It wasn't that giving flowers was weird—it was just that this bouquet was massive. The red roses were layered and blooming in dense clusters, each one packed with dozens of tightly curled petals, deep crimson and dewy fresh. And right in the center, nestled between the flowers, was a Chaumet jewelry box.

Sure, the roses were gorgeous—but the jewelry was worth way more. What kind of god-tier gift was this?!

The girl in glasses saw them approaching and studied their faces. The recipient was easy to spot.

Fair skin, delicate features, and that soft, innocent look.

She walked up with quick steps and handed the bouquet over. "Miss Qi, this is your delivery. Please sign for it."

Jing Zi took one look and had to cover her mouth to muffle a gasp.

Even though the sender was anonymous, there was zero doubt about who it was.

This kind of extravagant "roses-and-jewels" flex? No one but her husband could pull that off.

As they walked upstairs, they felt all the heavy stares and attention. Qi Zhen held the bouquet quietly and passed through like she didn't notice.

A few girls from the neighboring dorm who were friendly with Li Yuanyuan and Jing Zi came crowding in, eager to see the unboxing.

One girl with big wavy curls leaned in and asked, "Was it from your boyfriend? Is he a senior from your department?"

"Oh my god! My boyfriend won't even buy me breakfast, I'm dying of jealousy right now."

Qi Zhen felt a little embarrassed and just shook her head. "No, it's not."

The younger girls giggled and teased her, making her even more flustered.

She took a deep breath and opened the jewelry box—then completely froze.

Lying on the black velvet cushion inside was an exquisitely crafted crown.

It was studded with large, petal-shaped pink diamonds, and circled with tight rows of carat diamonds. Platinum laurels intertwined, setting off the dazzling softness of the big pink stones.

The design was feminine and ethereal, like something Aphrodite herself would wear. It shimmered with a heavy brilliance in her hands, and if she wore it on her jet-black hair, she'd look just like a little princess.

Qi Zhen didn't even know what to say. She just sat there in silence: "......"

One girl screamed, "AAAAHHH I'M SO JEALOUS I'M GONNA DIE——"

The wavy-haired girl did a quick search for the brand and price, then looked up stiffly, face going numb. "Uh... the base models already go for seven figures. This one? No idea, but probably at least ten million."

One girl stared wide-eyed at Qi Zhen. "Excuse me, which country are you a princess from? Are you ready for your coronation?"

Li Yuanyuan stood up like a zombie. "Don't stop me. I'm calling my boyfriend to break up. Do not interfere with me marrying rich."

Jing Zi freaked out and quickly hid her phone.

Qi Zhen was so mortified she wanted to dig a hole and disappear. She quickly put the crown back in the box, her face burning red, eyes downcast. "It might be fake... let's all just... move on."

Li Yuanyuan patted her shoulder. "No need, really no need. I get it, baby."

This was next-level embarrassing—peak over-the-top possessiveness. Zhenbao's man was honestly kind of terrifying.

It was like some primal animal marking its territory, sending a clear message to all the boys at school: She's mine. Don't even think about it. You're not worthy.

And anyone with eyes could tell—judging from the craftsmanship, the cut, the inlaid work, and the shine—this thing was very real.

The crown got passed around for everyone to try on. All the girls were in their pajamas, messy hair everywhere, screaming with excitement, totally hyped like they were about to throw a dorm disco party. The chaos didn't die down until right before lights-out.

By that night, the entire S University social circle had heard the story.

A rich guy chasing a fairy from the media department had gone full baller and gifted her a freaking crown to confess his love. Some were speculating, some were jealous, some were beating up their boyfriends.

And someone even went to the campus BBS to comment under the [Daily Fairy Updates] thread, booing that poor senior guy from earlier.

Qi Zhen carefully cradled the crown in her hands and sent him a photo.

Qi Zhen:
[Why did you send me this?]

Yu Jingxing:
[Don't like it?]

Qi Zhen:
[But... but now the whole dorm saw it... [covers face] it's so embarrassing.]

Still, as a girl, she had to admit—the pink diamond crown was really, really pretty. Even if she couldn't wear it out, she'd still probably take it out now and then, put it on in front of the mirror, and instantly feel a little happier.

Qi Zhen let her long hair down. While her roommates were out, she placed the pink diamond crown on her black hair and snapped a photo for him.

Qi Zhen:

[It looks kinda weird in pajamas... just make do.]

Yu Jingxing set down his wine glass and zoomed in on the photo.

The girl had skin like milk, big almond eyes, and without makeup, she looked pale and delicate. Her black hair flowed over her shoulders like fine silk.

Wearing that dazzling pink diamond crown, her eyes shimmered with a shy, soft glow—like a little princess wrapped in love and pampered to the core.

He smiled and typed a short reply.

Yu Jingxing:
[My little princess.]

Qi Zhen's cheeks went a little red. Then she told him:

Qi Zhen:
[I'm going home tomorrow to return it. It's not really good to keep something like this at the dorm.]

Yu Jingxing:
[I'll have Sister Sun take care of it. Don't worry.]

That night, after showering and getting into bed, Qi Zhen lay there thinking hard about why he would send something like that.

Was it because she'd said earlier that there were lots of people her age at school, that they were fun, and that she wouldn't feel sad even if he wasn't around?

She buried her face in her pillow, a little regretful—but then again, maybe not.

Her husband was always calm and collected. It couldn't be over something like that, right?

That same night, Sister Sun had just finished putting her son to bed and was lying down with a face mask on when she suddenly got a message from the boss.

She read it seriously... and suddenly felt like something had changed.
