The Film Queen’s Live-In Son-in-Law is the King of the Women's Kingdom (GL) - Chapter 14

After entering the living room, Dou Dou put down Yu Chiyin’s luggage, said hello, and quickly left. After all, the next scene was not for a mere assistant to be involved in.

The little husband-in-law, Shen Ji, was a step ahead of her, grabbing the suitcase and heading for the walk-in closet. She said as she walked, 

“Wife, go change. I’ll unpack for you.”

“Okay~ Thank you, wife.”

In front of Yu Baichuan, Yu Chiyin smiled at her little husband-in-law, a smile sweeter than anything. The more Yu Baichuan saw, the angrier he got. The more he got angry, the more his face contorted, making his existing pain even worse. 

He sat in the living room while the two spouses—one in the closet unpacking and the other in the master bedroom changing into pajamas—didn’t even offer him a cup of hot tea.

When Yu Chiyin slowly came out into the living room, he immediately said,

 “Can’t you get some servants? I’ve been here for so long and not even a cup of tea has been offered.”

“???”

Yu Chiyin couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She turned and went to the kitchen, casually grabbed two bottles of soda, placed one in front of Yu Baichuan, and unscrewed the other, taking a few sips herself.

“Dad, you’re too worked up. Have some ice water to cool down.”

“…You’re the daughter of Yu Baichuan, a dignified daughter of the Yu Group. You…”

“Stop!”

Yu Chiyin couldn’t listen to his old lecture anymore.

 “Just say what you came for. Don’t waste my time.” Given their pitifully thin father-daughter relationship, Yu Chiyin didn’t think they had enough history for an emotional reunion that would move all of China.

“Fine.” Yu Baichuan was in pain all over and had no desire to stay. He cut straight to the chase and made a demand, or rather, an order.

He said in a commanding tone, “Divorce her. She’s nothing but a low-class thing.” The day after Yu Chiyin brought Shen Ji home, a detailed report on Shen Ji’s entire life was already on the desk of the chairman’s office at the Yu Group headquarters.

“Let’s not even talk about her family background. Just her past and her terrible reputation. You know how much marrying her has impacted the Yu Group’s stock price.”

Yu Baichuan’s expression was serious, but Yu Chiyin just smiled. She knew it. If it hadn’t affected what Yu Baichuan cared about most, he wouldn’t have come looking for her again and again.

“Chairman Yu.” Yu Chiyin’s face turned cold. She was tired after rushing back from her shoot. She was happy when she saw Shen Ji at home, and now she didn’t want to waste any more time talking to a “lump of dung.”

“What does the Yu Group’s stock price have to do with me?”

Yu Chiyin sneered. “Your stock, your Yu Group… that should have more to do with your wonderful son, Yu Xiwang.”

“Hoping for your son to become a dragon,” is what he was doing. His “dragon son” was still young, but Yu Baichuan had long ago decided to hand everything over to his precious son.

“You’re also a part of the Yu Group,” Yu Baichuan frowned, thinking this daughter was unreasonable.

 “You’ve been enjoying everything the Yu Group has brought you since the day you were born. You have a responsibility and an obligation to contribute to the Yu Group.”

“Besides, if the Yu Group does well, why would your father treat his own daughter poorly?”

Shen Ji came out. “Father-in-law is right~”

She sat down next to her wife. The aura around her was completely under control. A cold air rushed at Yu Baichuan, while Yu Chiyin felt a source of warmth settle next to her.

“In that case, divorcing isn’t impossible.”

The little husband-in-law smiled. 

“If the Father-in-law transfers his shares to my wife, I guarantee we’ll get a divorce as soon as the Civil Affairs Bureau opens tomorrow.”

Yu Chiyin’s eyes lit up. The little illiterate was surprisingly smart. This was a deal she could make. Yu Chiyin nodded in agreement.

“My wife is right. Since Dad says I’m a part of the Yu Group, there’s nothing wrong with the shares being in my name, right?”

The two of them, in their back-and-forth, put Yu Baichuan in a difficult position. In the end, he was too proud to say he wouldn’t give his shares to his daughter. Since the discussion wasn’t going anywhere, there was no need to waste time.

“Yinyin, we rise and fall together. Do you know what you’re doing?” Yu Baichuan stood up.

“The Yu family can get by without a disobedient daughter like me, and I can get by without a Yu family that doesn’t care whether I’m there or not.”

Yu Chiyin shrugged nonchalantly.

“Chairman Yu, a reminder: everything I have right now has very little to do with you or the Yu Group.”

Yu Baichuan stared deeply at his daughter’s cold expression. He left with a final,

“I hope so.”

He stormed out.

The atmosphere in the living room was heavy, as if the air and time had frozen. Shen Ji could feel the silent, overflowing sadness from the person sitting next to her. She didn’t say anything. Perhaps Yu Chiyin didn’t want her company at this moment. When she was sad, the little king only wanted to find a corner to be alone. She didn’t want to cry and wouldn’t cry.

Yu Chiyin was a proud person, just like her. That pride had seeped into her bones and grown with her flesh and bl00d.

There was a sound from the kitchen. Yu Chiyin slowly realized there was a smell of food in the air. She came back to her senses and silently looked at the kitchen with its warm yellow lights. This house seemed to have changed ever since Shen Ji moved in.

In the past, Yu Chiyin only saw this house as a temporary place to stay. She flew all over the world, spending only a month or two here a year. The kitchen was rarely used. She mostly had food delivered from restaurants. Most of the time, to maintain her figure, Yu Chiyin only ate salads and fruits.

Gradually, she felt out of place in this world. She was like an outsider, watching the births, deaths, loves, and heartbreaks of others. Only when she was acting did Yu Chiyin feel she was truly alive, experiencing emotions that didn’t belong to her over and over again.

This was the first time in this house that she felt the warmth of everyday life. She was like a long-wandering traveler who suddenly found she had a place to return to. Shen Ji brought the dishes out and looked at Yu Chiyin, who was still motionless on the sofa. She smiled sweetly. “Go wash your hands. Dinner is ready.”

Yu Chiyin nodded and forced a smile in return. Though it didn’t look relaxed, at least she was smiling.

When she sat down, Yu Chiyin realized that Shen Ji had made four dishes and a soup all by herself. Two meat, two vegetable dishes. It seemed that in a short time, she had already figured out her preferences.

“How… how did you know?” she asked out of nowhere.

Shen Ji immediately understood. 

“Oh, it’s all online. I’ve watched your interviews many times.”

“Why did you watch them?” Yu Chiyin felt like she was getting sick.

 Her heart was beating a little fast. She secretly massaged her chest, silently cursing herself for being a weakling. She was guessing, and she felt a little flutter.

“Oh, because that’s a husband-in-law’s duty.”

The little husband-in-law was nonchalant and didn’t notice anything. She naturally took a shrimp, peeled it one by one, and put the firm, bouncy shrimp meat into Yu Chiyin’s bowl.

Sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour shrimp. Yu Chiyin wondered if there would be sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour chicken, and sweet and sour Shen Ji in the future.

Ugh, my mind is in the gutter.

“You’re quite professional, then.” Yu Chiyin chuckled coldly, silently cursing that it was a playgirl’s trick again.

But when she thought that Shen Ji might have done the same thing to her other exes, she felt a little uncomfortable. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but she just found Shen Ji a bit annoying, even though she really liked her face.

Yu Chiyin became even more upset when she looked at Shen Ji’s peach blossom eyes, which netizens said looked affectionate even when she was looking at a dog. Although she didn’t show any emotions, the little king’s husband-in-law instincts immediately picked up on her wife’s mood.

She got up and poured a glass of milk. 

“I heard that drinking milk is good for your health.”

She added, “You work so hard outside. I’ve never taken care of anyone before, so I was afraid I wouldn’t do a good job. I looked up a lot of things online.”

“You looked it up?”

Wait, Yu Chiyin got the wrong idea. She was a little confused but not completely. She focused on the key piece of information in Shen Ji’s words and asked, “You’ve never taken care of anyone?”

“No.”

Shen Ji was certain. She peeled another shrimp for Yu Chiyin. 

“You’re the first person I’ve ever taken care of myself.”

The storm cleared.

The two of them finished dinner in harmony and with great joy. The little husband-in-law didn’t know why Yu Chiyin was suddenly unhappy and then suddenly happy again. But she didn’t care. As long as the outcome was good, that was enough. 

At least in the end, her wife seemed to be very satisfied with her performance.

After Shen Ji had finished cleaning up and was about to go get her clothes to take a shower, Yu Chiyin was staring at a script. She was thinking about how to tell Shen Ji about the reality show they would be on. After all, if they were going to be on a show together, she couldn’t just keep her in the dark. If Shen Ji messed up, it would be troublesome.

But Yu Chiyin wasn’t too worried. Shen Ji’s acting skills were almost as good as hers. At least to an outsider, no one could tell they were only in a contractual marriage.

“What is it?” Shen Ji, holding her clothes, crouched down and looked up at Yu Chiyin.

Yu Chiyin noticed that she often talked to her from this angle and asked, 

“Doesn’t it hurt to crouch like that?”

“It’s fine.”

Shen Ji added, “This way, you don’t get tired.”

“…” Okay, she’s a professional husband-in-law. She might not know how to read, but she’s a top-notch husband.

“You go take a shower first. I’ll tell you after you’re done.”

“Okay.”

Shen Ji nodded and went. She held the clothes in her hand tightly. Even the little king who had been through so much was a little nervous now. Today’s the day. The dignified king of Changyuan finally had a chance to fully use all the skills she had learned.

The little husband-in-law was taking her shower very seriously, feeling that the “colorful” knowledge in her brain couldn’t be washed away with even the strongest shampoo.

When she came out, still slightly damp, Yu Chiyin looked up and was stunned.

What is the little husband-in-law wearing?

Why is she wearing revealing lingerie?

Oh my God, is the little husband-in-law that professional? Was she even prepared for this?

What should I do? What should I do?

Yu Chiyin was in a panic, but she couldn’t show it. She couldn’t act like a sugar mommy who had never seen anything before.

So she just said calmly, “Go dry your hair first. Don’t catch a cold.”

Ahhhhhh!!

Help! Is there anything else I can do to stall for time besides telling her to dry her hair?

What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?
