The Film Queen’s Live-In Son-in-Law is the King of the Women's Kingdom (GL) - Chapter 10

The two chatted the whole way. Originally, they planned to go to Shen Ji’s rental apartment to help her move, but Yu Chiyin, being a famous actress, had “little tails” (paparazzi) following her, making it inconvenient. So they simply left the move to Yu Chiyin’s assistant and went straight to Yu Chiyin’s villa.

The little husband, Shen Ji, started to get familiar with all the appliances by watching videos. As soon as Yu Chiyin entered, she received a call from her agent, Li Ran, and didn’t have time to settle Shen Ji in.

“Hello, Ran-jie, what’s wrong?”

 Yu Chiyin changed into her pajamas and let out a lazy yawn.

“…”

On the other end of the phone, Li Ran was so shocked by her calm tone that she wanted to yell but held back, remembering this was her precious cash cow. 

“Did you forget something?”

Yu Chiyin was puzzled.

 “Huh? What?”

Li Ran rubbed her forehead, frustrated.

 “…Why don’t you check your ‘Big Eye’ app?”

“Oh, you mean that.”

Yu Chiyin replied nonchalantly, “It’s fine. Let them talk for a while.”

She picked up her tablet and opened the “Big Eye” app, absently scrolling. Although the app had crashed and been restored several times, it was still lagging noticeably, a clear sign that the online discussion was still huge.

She clicked on the top trending hashtag: #BeautifulWomanHarvester.

The comments were all discussing Shen Ji’s strange charm, how each of her girlfriends was prettier than the last, and how she had now even captured a triple-award-winning actress like Yu Chiyin.

She continued to scroll and saw the photos the paparazzi had leaked.

What surprised Yu Chiyin was that the most popular comment under the post revealing their marriage was from a fan-made couple (CP) account. She and Shen Ji even had a couple names.

******

[@CrazyEntertainment]: “Shock! Actress Yu appears at the Yuyang District Civil Affairs Bureau in Hucheng. Her new spouse is…!”

[@JiyuCPisBest]: “#JiyuForever. All Jiyu CP fans, assemble! A true sister-in-law is the best to ship. Let’s ship with our heads, and say no to ‘sour fish’!”

[@RichAndBeautifulYu]: “What?! My Yu-bao is married?!!! My world is ending, ahhhhhh!”

[@YuIsMeSoI’mYou]: “Is that Yu-bao’s new wife? She looks like that notorious playgirl from City A, Miss Shen?”

[@NeedYuPillsNotRamen]: “No, no, no, no, no! I’ll fight you, you playgirl Shen! Give me back my Yu-bao!!!”

******

Yu Chiyin’s fingers moved. Her long silence made Li Ran uneasy, who asked, 

“Yinyin? Are you still there?”

“Yes,” she replied dismissively, poking and swiping the screen. A minute later, she put the tablet down and said with a smile,

 “Okay, done.”

Li Ran’s heart sank, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

 “Do… done with what?”

“Oh, just claiming her.”

As soon as Yu Chiyin finished speaking, the phone went dead with a dial tone.

She didn’t mind. She put down the tablet and went to find that silly, illiterate playgirl, feeling in a good mood. She felt that if they kept spending time together, the nickname she gave Shen Ji would get longer and longer.

On her first day as a husband, to become a qualified one as soon as possible, the little king Shen had already learned how to use the refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, gas stove, and range hood.

She was currently learning how to use an app to order groceries. While learning, she came across a saying, “To capture someone’s heart, you must first capture their stomach.”

Shen Ji thought this made a lot of sense, so she decided to show off her cooking skills. Don’t ask how the dignified King of Changyuan knows how to cook; the answer is that Shen Ji had downloaded three or four cooking apps.

By following a recipe, she figured she couldn’t go wrong.

She sat on the couch, head down, looking at her phone. Her posture was elegant and relaxed, 

“What are you doing?” 

Yu Chiyin sat at the other end of the couch, curling her legs up and so she didn’t notice Yu Chiyin had come out.nestling into the cushions, asking with curiosity.

The little husband turned her phone to show her, and honestly answered,

 “Ordering groceries.”

“Would you like something to drink?” 

Shen Ji stood up, ready to pour Yu Chiyin some water.

“Anything is fine.”

Seeing that Shen Ji wasn’t awkward at all and was instead trying so hard to take care of her, Yu Chiyin thought about the trending topic online. She mused that if Shen Ji used such tactics on all of her ex-girlfriends, few would have been able to resist.

Shen Ji returned with a cup of hot tea in her left hand and a glass of refreshing, delicious-looking fruit juice in her right. She held them out, letting Yu Chiyin choose first.

Yu Chiyin silently reached for the cold, tasty-looking juice in her right hand and said with a slight curl of her lips,

 “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” The little husband’s eyes curved into a smile. She knelt directly by Yu Chiyin’s legs. Even though there was a rug, this action still surprised Yu Chiyin.

The little king was just used to it. She was also reminding herself to maintain her persona. Yes, that’s right. After her “high-speed surfing” of the internet, the little king now knew what a “persona” was.

She also knew that as a soul from another world, she had to play the part of this world’s Shen Ji well. Even if there were some differences, they couldn’t be too outlandish.

While she wouldn’t be burned alive like before, she might be caught and studied by some strange institution!

She nonchalantly stood up, pretending nothing had happened.

“I plan to make some Sweet and Sour Pork with vegetables, shrimp with salted egg yolk, stir-fried greens, and a pot of corn and pork rib soup. Does that sound good?”

How did she know those were all my favorite dishes? Yu Chiyin thought. This is definitely a playgirl’s trick!

But her mouth was completely honest, and the corners of her lips refused to stay down. She pretended to be calm and said, “It’s alright.”

Yu Chiyin’s assistant, Dou Dou, delivered Shen Ji’s few belongings. She had the password to Yu Chiyin’s house and let herself in.

“Yin-jie, your things are here.”

Dou Dou said, glancing at the approaching Shen Ji. She hesitated, then said, “Hello, Shen-jie.”

Shen Ji didn’t immediately realize she was being addressed. After all, it was the first time the little king had been called “jie.” She looked at Dou Dou and said seriously,

 “I’m 23 this year.”

She then added, 

“23 and one day, actually.”

“…” 

Dou Dou, whose birthday was January 1st, could only say, “Ha, haha, my apologies, it’s a habit.”

“Pffft~” Their conversation was so funny. Why would someone be so serious about that? Yu Chiyin explained, 

“Dou Dou calls you ‘jie’ out of respect. It has nothing to do with age.”

Yu Chiyin was helping Dou Dou out of an awkward situation. Shen Ji nodded. 

“I see. Hello, Dou Dou-jie.”

“Oh, you’re too kind. Hello, Shen-jie. Should I bring your luggage inside?” 

Dou Dou was so terrified her back was hunched.

“No need.”

Shen Ji picked up the suitcase. She didn’t have many belongings and instinctively walked towards the master bedroom. Yu Chiyin hesitated but didn’t stop her.

Whatever. I’m not home often anyway. If she wants to stay in the master bedroom, she can, Yu Chiyin thought.

She had misunderstood. Shen Ji had no intention of claiming the room for herself. The little husband was just being dutiful, believing that since they were married, she should be ready to serve her wife at any time, which meant she needed to share the same bedroom as Yu Chiyin.

“Yinyin-jie, I’ll get going now.” 

Dou Dou wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling Shen Ji’s powerful aura.

Yu Chiyin waved lazily without getting up to see her out.

“Go ahead. Thanks for your hard work.”

“No problem. Don’t forget, though, you have an announcement tomorrow. I’ll come pick you up in the morning,” Dou Dou reminded her before leaving.

Yu Chiyin buried her face in a pillow, a muffled voice coming out, “Ahhh, why do people have to work~”

Hearing footsteps, she looked up. Shen Ji was standing by the couch, looking down at her.

The two of them stared at each other in silence.

Yu Chiyin looked like a ruffled fox. Her cheeks were red from being muffled in the pillow, and her pajamas were a bit messy.

Shen Ji, on the other hand, was still wearing the clothes from their marriage photo shoot, looking poised and elegant.

The contrast was too stark, too strong to ignore.

So the great actress Yu turned her eyes away, embarrassed and angry, not wanting to look at her.

Shen Ji raised an eyebrow. What’s wrong? Why is my wife suddenly unhappy?

“Shall I go make dinner?” Her voice was a question, with a slight upward inflection. She knew her place very well: her husband’s every word and action needed the approval of her wife.

Yu Chiyin was even more annoyed by her useless thoughtfulness. She turned and glared at her. The great actress Yu was as childish as she was proud.

 “You’re not allowed to.”

“…”

So what the internet said was true. They say a woman’s heart is a needle at the bottom of the ocean. The little husband reflected. Am I not enough of a woman?

She crouched down and looked up. 

“Then what would my wife like me to do?”

By lowering her stance in the conversation and making a strategic retreat, the little king showed her good grasp of military strategy.

Yu Chiyin felt her own unreasonableness. She smoothed her hair and said with a slight pout,

“I want ice cream.”

“???”

Crap.

This is beyond my scope.

Ice what? What cake? Ice what cake? A cake made of snow?

The little husband glanced at the bright sun outside the window and grew even more silent. Is it possible that it snows in July?

“Is there any at home?” 

Shen Ji changed her question, afraid that asking 

“What is ice cream?” 

would raise suspicion.

My situation is truly dangerous. Shen Ji strengthened her resolve once again to study hard to avoid being caught and studied.

“No… never mind. Don’t worry about it. Just go make dinner.”

Yu Chiyin was only a little awkward for a moment. To outsiders, she paid great attention to her image. The thought that Shen Ji had seen her complaining about work made her a little embarrassed.

Shen Ji was still worried. She leaned forward slightly, smiling warmly. 

“How about, wife, you give me a kiss?”

“???”

No kisses. Get lost, you scumbag.

However, her face remained calm. She poked the soft part of Shen Ji’s cheek and pushed her away. 

“No kiss. Go make dinner.”

Shen Ji was just trying to distract her. Seeing that she was no longer sulking like before, she went to the kitchen to make dinner, relieved.

Yu Chiyin turned and pulled out her phone, furiously typing on the screen.

She had just posted a new message on her Weibo, the same app she used to talk to her agent.

******

[@YuChiyin]: “Yes, I’m married. My wife is @ShenXiaoji.” [MarriageCertificate.JPG] [IntimatePhoto.JPG]

******

The comments were filled with fans’ cries and CP fans’ crazy excitement.

The same-s3x marriage law had only been passed for a few years, and there weren’t many married same-s3x couples in the entertainment industry. Yu Chiyin had never had a single dating rumor since her debut. The news of them spending the night together was quickly followed by the news of their marriage.

Some people made up a story of a long, painful love story, while others fantasized about a secret romance finally coming to light. But no matter the story, the CP fans were simply “shipping” them because of their good looks.

Shen Ji was just a small-time influencer with no real fan base, but Yu Chiyin was different. Some of her biggest fans gave their blessings, but others cursed Shen Ji as a “playgirl” who stole their “Yu-bao.”

The “Big Eye” app, which had just recovered from crashing, faced a new test.

******

[@YuChiyin]: “She won’t let me have ice cream, and she demanded a kiss before making dinner!!”

******

In just a few seconds, tens of thousands of comments appeared under the post, cursing Shen Ji for being a stingy playgirl and for having too many tricks.

Meanwhile, the little husband in the kitchen was completely unaware, happily cooking.

Li Ran was numb. It seemed her cash cow had truly found some fun. There was no need for public relations now. Yu Chiyin would probably have to play for a while longer before she was satisfied.

It wasn’t hard to guess. A while ago, Yu Baichuan had been trying to set Yu Chiyin up on blind dates. Yu Chiyin was not the type to be pushed around.

She might seem gentle and easy-going on the surface, but in reality, she had a very hot temper.

Li Ran silently sighed.

“That’s enough for today. Everyone can go home early.”

The entire public relations staff was stunned. Li Ran picked up her bag, stifling a yawn. “Go on, go home and get some sleep. Yinyin has been in this industry for so long she’s half a PR team herself.”

She left after saying that.

Yu Chiyin’s phone chimed. It was a message from Li Ran.

[Ran-jie]: “You can play, but don’t go too far.”

[LittleYin]: “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
