The Film Queen’s Live-In Son-in-Law is the King of the Women's Kingdom (GL) - Chapter 28

The online fighting had little to do with the four couples on the show. They were enjoying a nice dinner.Maybe the fans were fighting so much that the director didn’t dare to do anything else. They even prepared a special dinner location for them.

Since the couples’ rooms weren’t big, it would be crowded to have eight people eating at the same time. The show’s staff set up a canopy outside Yu Chiyin and Shen Ji’s room. They moved the dinner outside and set up lights and music.

Yu Chiyin quietly leaned into her wife. 

“Do you think they have some evil plan? Why are they being so nice all of a sudden?”

Shen Ji had watched enough variety shows to be suspicious. She looked at the staff who were setting up the tables.

“It’s very possible,” she said.

She looked at the small stage being set up nearby. It was just a small space lit with lights and a wooden rack from the supermarket. It looked like a temporary stage. Microphones and speakers were ready. A person who didn’t know would think they were about to have a mini concert.

Le Qi and Lu Jun were used to it. Even Xue Xianyue and Xie Jiayin were calm. Yu Chiyin tried to hide behind Shen Ji.

If there was one thing the perfect actress Yu Chiyin was bad at, it was singing. She wasn’t bad in a normal sense. It was bad in a way that people couldn’t understand.

Shen Ji didn’t understand what she meant. “What do you mean?” she asked.

“… ” Yu Chiyin was speechless. A normal person would politely stop asking questions. Why does my wife have to be so curious? If she hadn’t worked so hard on dinner tonight, I would have docked her allowance.

Shen Ji, who had no idea her allowance was in danger, was still waiting for an answer.

Yu Chiyin had to tell her with a straight face, “I’m tone-deaf.”

She explained that she thought her pitch was fine, but others heard it as out of tune. In her past life, if a musician or singer was even slightly off-key, they would be punished. The little king had never heard someone who was tone-deaf.

She looked at Yu Chiyin eagerly. “Wife, can you sing me a song?”

“Are you sure?” Yu Chiyin thought with a straight face. This little fool has no idea what she’s asking for. I’ll show her what a voice that can break a speaker sounds like.

She cleared her throat and asked again, 

“Are you sure you want to hear it? You won’t want to divorce me after you hear it, right?”

“What does this have to do with divorce?” Shen Ji was confused.

As a kept woman, wasn’t divorce something her sugar mommy decided? If she had a choice, Shen Ji would want to be with Yu Chiyin in this life and the next. No one could tear them apart.

But Shen Ji couldn’t show her true feelings. As a good wife, she knew she couldn’t have desires that were out of her place.

So she just said, “We won’t divorce. It has nothing to do with your singing.”

It was the truth. Their marriage had nothing to do with how well Yu Chiyin sang. If Yu Chiyin wanted to divorce, they would divorce. If she didn’t, Shen Ji would happily be her wife.

She had learned a lot about modern society. The little king thought she was a genius who could do anything. But in any time period, there were always talented people. Would she go to a job interview and say she was good at the “Six Arts of a Gentleman” and had experience running a country?

She had experience being a good king and using people’s talents. People would probably tell her to go see a therapist. Anyway, she knew that without Yu Chiyin, she couldn’t find a good job. Would she have to be an office worker who earned 3,000 yuan a month?
She would work hard, and the company would find all sorts of excuses to dock her pay. She wouldn’t have any benefits, and her boss would give her false promises.

Shen Ji suspected she was born to be a kept man. Why else was she so good at it? She was even starting to enjoy it.

Yu Chiyin looked at the other couples, who were busy eating. She leaned closer to Shen Ji and turned off their microphones. The livestream was suddenly silent. All you could see was Yu Chiyin’s mouth moving, but no one knew if she was singing or talking.

******

[I’m so anxious! Is there a lip-reading expert who can translate?]

[No, Ms. Yu, that’s not fair. We’re all one big family. Why are you so distant?]

[Haha, who gave our Ms. Yu such an old-fashioned nickname?]

[I am the First Emperor of Qin. Show’s staff, open the microphones or I will kill your whole family~]

******

Yu Chiyin was humming a new version of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” into Shen Ji’s ear. Shen Ji hadn’t had time to listen to modern music, so she didn’t realize it was out of tune.

When her wife finished, Shen Ji’s eyes were filled with little stars. She was so happy.

“Wife, you sing so well~”

Yu Chiyin was a little embarrassed but quickly said with a sense of pride, “Right? I told you I could sing, but they said I couldn’t!”

“They?” Shen Ji caught the key word. She was unhappy. She didn’t expect others to have heard Yu Chiyin sing before. And they said she wasn’t good! How rude!

Shen Ji said angrily, “Don’t sing for them anymore! Only sing for me!” Her eyelashes were trembling. “They don’t know how lucky they are.”

She was still mad. The person she cherished so much was being belittled by others. The little king felt her dignity had been challenged. In her past life, she would have had them beaten or even killed. Everyone curses a tyrant, but everyone wants to be one.

When the show’s staff couldn’t take the viewers’ angry comments anymore, they sent a staff member to tell the two to turn on their microphones. If they kept it off, the director’s head might explode first. The fans were furious and kept calling the staff useless.

Some things, once you miss them, you miss them forever. For example, the two wives were peeling shrimp for each other and commenting on the food. They didn’t seem like they had just sung a song.

This scene was later called #5 Minutes and 30 Seconds of Silence, and Every Second Was Pure Love. The fans were over the top. They were a group of girls who looked at the show with a microscope and were always ready to create fanfiction.

Some of them imagined that Yu Chiyin was singing a love song to Shen Ji. Others thought she was confessing her love. No matter the version, the 5 minutes and 30 seconds were proof of Yu Chiyin’s deep love for Shen Ji.

Yu Chiyin was speechless. She didn’t think she was that in love with Shen Ji, but her wife was becoming bold. She even dared to ask Yu Chiyin to sing to her every night before bed.

Yu Chiyin was under a spell. She couldn’t say “no” to Shen Ji’s eager eyes and had to agree. She even agreed to an extra request from Shen Ji. She couldn’t say what it was because it was said before the microphones were on. But the two looked at each other with a knowing look. Shen Ji was excited for the show to end.

And Yu Chiyin was already planning to see if she could find a day off in her filming schedule. Half a day should be enough, right? She wasn’t sure. She had no experience and no one to ask for advice. She was worried that her excitement would lead to disappointment. She wouldn’t mind if her wife’s skills weren’t great, but she was worried that it would make her lose interest in it forever.

“Are you… good at it?” Yu Chiyin wasn’t confident. She had been looking forward to it for a long time, and she was afraid of being disappointed.

“… “

Shen Ji was a little annoyed. What kind of question is that? No one would say ‘I’m not good at it’. That’s like saying ‘I can’t do it’.

A good wife couldn’t say that. And a little king couldn’t either. From every angle, Shen Ji couldn’t be “not good at it.”

The 48-hour livestream had a lot of great moments. During dinner, Le Qi, Lu Jun, Xue Xianyue, and Xie Jiayin all performed. Even though the conditions were simple, they gave it their all. Musicians always respect their stages.

In the end, those two couples drank the most. Shen Ji and Yu Chiyin held back. They had a secret plan, so they didn’t touch any alcohol. They didn’t want to do anything crazy in front of the whole country.

Qiao Chi thought he was too important to hang out with the younger generation. But Mu Linqing just smiled and drank one glass after another. She didn’t even change her expression.
