The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 58

Prev | Directory | Next

Ever since marrying a sweet young wife over ten years his junior, the boss was acting like a guy freshly in love.

He was still steady and composed when it came to business, sure. But sending jewelry and roses as a public love confession? That wasn't like his usual self at all—it was kind of irrational.

She sighed and made a call to a dependable young assistant, telling her firmly to make sure everything was handled properly. The little darling's pink diamond crown must not get damaged, no matter what.

Meanwhile, back in the dorm, the air was thick with lemon juice and sulfuric acid.

Li Yuanyuan clutched Qi Zhen's hand. "I misjudged your husband. He might be a little baby-crazy and have super weird taste, but he..."

She trailed off, face scrunched. The jealousy was real.

She absentmindedly refreshed Weibo and suddenly looked even more sour.

Jing Zi asked what was up. Li Yuanyuan showed them the trending topics.

#ScenicLittleWife'sAccountNuked#

That pink diamond-level anti-fan? Yeah, the one who posted boarding pass pics and claimed Yu Jingxing's wife had a collapsed nose and upturned nostrils, calling her ugly—her.

Still running her mouth just yesterday.

Now? Boom. Gone. Her whole account wiped out like it had never existed.

And not just her.

A bunch of others who joined in on the smear campaign also went up in flames—accounts nuked into digital stardust.

And that wasn't even all.

Strawberry Raspberry Velvet Cake:
I was in the same group chat as Scenic Little Wife, that big-name hater. Here's what went down: she didn't even go to work today. Rushed off to a law firm. Around midnight, she was freaking out in the group, begging for help. "What do I do if I got a court summons..."

The top upvoted replies below basically summed up what most fans were thinking.

You and Me Under the Lemon Tree: As expected. Court subpoenas ×10086. Everyone knows Yu Jingxing's cease-and-desist letters or subpoenas aren't a joke. He's got the money and resources to drag you into court, and he can keep swapping lawyers without repeating any. Let this be a lesson, people. I've told you before not to badmouth his wife. You just wouldn't listen. Tsk.

Still Haven't Got My Hogwarts Letter: A little background for the new fans. My idol doesn't like to farm clout on Weibo with lawyer letters. He prefers to send the whole package straight to your house with a court subpoena included. One-stop service to jail time. When he reposted that tweet where Goddess Mei clapped back at that ncf, that was already a warning. He was being super merciful. "Scenic Little Wife" really thought she was Yu Jingxing's little sweetheart? Tsk. Please.

ineLikesTeriyaki: Legal illiterates digging till they're bald. Looks like under Criminal Law Article 246, if you spread rumors or insult someone violently, and it's serious enough, you could get thrown in for 3 years. Straight up rotting in jail, going full monk mode, turning into a statue [cry-laugh emoji]. "Scenic Little Wife" has trended so many times for spreading lies. See you in 3 years, I guess.

Why Am I in Ravenclaw: I swear I felt a chill just now. Of all people, do not mess with a guy who'd do anything for his wife. Also—is anyone else curious what his wife actually looks like?? Is it like Schrodinger's face or what?!

...

Meanwhile, the hashtag #YuJingxingProtectsHisWife stayed high on the trending list, with fans drowning in lemon-flavored envy.

Some fans still insisted that Yu Jingxing was just being a gentleman, and standing up for a lady didn't mean he was in love with her.

Of course, there were also a fair number of older, more objective fans in Yu Jingxing's fandom.

After scrolling through thousands of comments under the trending tag, Li Yuanyuan fell into deep thought.

Then suddenly, she said seriously, "Everyone knows I've been a fan of my idol for over ten years."

Qi Zhen: "......"

Li Yuanyuan muttered, "If he'd sued her earlier, she probably could've gotten off with just paying a few tens of thousands. But now it's bad enough she might end up in prison. I keep getting this weird feeling like my idol did it on purpose."

Qi Zhen hugged her blanket, holding her face in her hands, thinking hard too. She tried explaining earnestly, "He's so gentle and kind, he probably couldn't take it anymore, that's why he finally acted."

Li Yuanyuan frowned and got goosebumps on her arm. "Did you switch fandoms or something? I'm a hardcore fan and even I haven't been brainwashed like this. Think about it. He's been a king in the entertainment industry for years—always one step ahead, backed by a massive company like Shengguang... how could he be gentle and kind?"

Jing Zi also nodded. "Yeah, and Yu Jingxing's not into fake personas either. He keeps a super low profile. At most, he just comes off as polite and a bit distant. It's not like he plays the kind and self-sacrificing saint. Zhenbao, did you get sucked into some crazy fan cult?"

Qi Zhen: "......"

She sat up cross-legged, hugging her blanket, her eyes half-open as she mumbled in her defense, "But he is just a gentle, kind guy."

Li Yuanyuan was speechless. "...What the hell."

She reached out to pat Qi Zhen's head, then couldn't help kissing her soft, sweet-smelling cheek and gave it a few rough rubs. "Good girl, good girl, Sister Yuanyuan loves you."

Qi Zhen covered her face, kind of mad. "You can't just kiss me like that."

Li Yuanyuan felt itchy all over from how adorable she was. She was dying to get manhandled head-to-toe by her precious Zhenbao. This girl was a freaking treasure.

When Qi Zhen woke up the next day, for some reason, her roommate had already bought breakfast for her.

Qi Zhen said thanks, then told them she'd buy breakfast for everyone tomorrow.

She sent a "good morning" message to Yu Jingxing, hesitated for a moment, then asked about that fan.

Qi Zhen: [Are you really planning to sue her into jail?]

Yu Jingxing: [If I want to, I can.]

Qi Zhen: [Do you really want to?]

She took a bite of her steamed bun and typed seriously:

Qi Zhen: [Honestly, I wasn't really affected by that fan.]

Husband: [Your kindness and tolerance won't necessarily be appreciated.]

But Qi Zhen said:

Qi Zhen: [I just want her to have nothing to do with me.]

Yu Jingxing understood what she meant.

It wasn't forgiveness out of selflessness, but because of self-respect.

If she really got sued into prison, with Zhenbao's personality, there's no way she wouldn't care. Keeping that kind of thing in mind would only be a burden for her.
