My Wife Pretends To Be Poor Every Day Ch.55 (End)

This New Year was exceptionally lively.

The Li family’s previous New Year celebrations had been as bland as plain water, but this year was different. With the Yu family joining in, it felt like a spicy hotpot.

The house was in chaos, with laughter echoing several meters away.

Li Yuanye sighed inwardly while secretly stealing a card, only to be caught by Yu Tianzong, leading to another round of bickering.

Yu Siling, drunk, started acting out, crawling on the ground: “Crawl, crawl, I’m the best at crawling.”

Then she began to undress: “Master, I want my master~~~”

Li Yueyun quickly took her back to the room to let her vent.

Li Yuanye & Zhang Qingkong: …

We’re trying our best to cover for you, and you just strip it all off?

A few days later, Yu Siling packed her luggage, bid farewell to her family, and flew to the film set.

Accompanying her was Li Yueyun, as Yu Siling hadn’t found a suitable agency yet and had a lot of things to bring. She also didn’t feel comfortable letting Yu Siling go to the set alone.

After arriving at the airport, a production assistant sent a car to pick up Yu Siling and take her to the hotel. The assistant was talkative, discussing the local customs and then moving on to the film set, occasionally glancing at Li Yueyun through the rearview mirror.

At the hotel, Li Yueyun went to move the luggage while the assistant pulled Yu Siling aside and whispered, “Is this your first time acting? Is that girl your assistant? She’s too pretty; you should be careful, or she might steal your spotlight.”

Yu Siling knew she meant well and smiled, “Alright, but she’s not my assistant; she’s my girlfriend.”

The assistant: “Ah, this…” Isn’t that even more terrifying!

Wait, the female lead of this drama is already married to her girlfriend, and now the second female lead… This set is cursed.

After checking in, Yu Siling first tidied up her things in the room. With some time to spare, she took Li Yueyun to the hotel restaurant for a meal.

Li Yueyun had never interacted with people from the entertainment industry before but felt that everyone was just doing different jobs, with no hierarchy or distinction. She wasn’t particularly curious about what people in the entertainment industry were like.

Knowing her personality, Yu Siling didn’t insist on introducing her to anyone specific.

After a pleasant meal, the two took a stroll nearby, bought some things, and then returned to the hotel.

In the hallway, a tall woman walked towards them, looking down at her phone. Her slightly wavy long hair was parted to one side, revealing a well-defined jawline. Her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, and as if she had seen something amusing, a slight smile curved her lips.

Li Yueyun felt a sense of familiarity, and it wasn’t until the other person raised her head with a smile that she remembered where she had seen her before.

It was in the Hall of Fame at Yu Siling’s school, where she had seen a photo of this woman. At the time, Yu Siling had praised her endlessly.

She turned her head and, sure enough, saw Yu Siling’s eyes light up. Yu Siling wanted to step forward and greet her but hesitated, afraid of disturbing her, and ended up standing frozen in place.

The woman also noticed them, pausing briefly to take a closer look at Yu Siling before asking, “Are you Yu Siling, the one playing my sister in the drama?”

Yu Siling was both surprised and flattered. “Teacher Ji, you know me?”

“I checked the cast list with the director,” Ji Fengxue replied with a gentle smile. “I have some things to attend to, but we can chat more at the opening banquet tomorrow.”

“Of course, of course!” Yu Siling nodded eagerly.

The woman walked past them and headed toward the elevator. Moments later, there was a sudden exclamation, followed by a thud as she fell to the ground.

Yu Siling and Li Yueyun were startled. Turning around, they saw another woman had also fallen on top of her. The elevator doors were wide open, clearly indicating that she had rushed out in a hurry and accidentally collided with someone.

Li Yueyun noticed that the woman who had suddenly appeared was wearing a hat and a mask, completely wrapped up, and didn’t seem like a good person. She was about to step forward and pull her away when Yu Siling stopped her.

Li Yueyun was puzzled and looked at the two of them in confusion.

Before Ji Fengxue, who had been knocked down, could speak, the woman on top of her started groaning, “Ouch, ouch!” Ji Fengxue then laughed and said, “Didn’t you say you weren’t coming? Why are you in such a hurry?”

“It’s those paparazzi chasing my car,” the woman on top replied. “They really picked the worst day. I didn’t even put on makeup before rushing out to find you.”

Li Yueyun whispered, “Do they know each other?”

Yu Siling nodded. Just as she was about to speak, the woman on top looked around, froze when she saw Yu Siling, and then got up and walked over to them, asking, “Who are you?”

Li Yueyun finally got a clear look at her face. Although only her eyes were visible, they were strikingly beautiful.

She had just seen this woman’s face on a poster a few days ago. Her name was… Xia Linxia?

Yu Siling said, “I’m Yu Siling. I’m playing Teacher Ji’s sister in the drama, and I’m also her junior from school…”

Xia Linxia suddenly turned around and glared at Ji Fengxue. “Why do you have juniors everywhere?”

Ji Fengxue stood up, dusting herself off, and smiled. “The school is just too outstanding. What can I do?”

“But I also really love your songs!” Yu Siling added. “My whole family is your fan. We all voted for you when you debuted!”

Xia Linxia was delighted. “Really?”

Yu Siling nodded. “Yes! And I also love the movie you and Teacher Ji starred in!”

Xia Linxia humbly replied, “No need to be so polite. I’m self-aware. If it weren’t for my performance in that movie, Ji Fengxue wouldn’t have deserved the award.”

Yu Siling didn’t dare to say anything more.

Ji Fengxue, already used to her brazen remarks, said lightly, “The paparazzi seem to be here.”

“Everyone, goodbye!” Xia Linxia dashed off without looking back, shouting as she went, “Damn it, Lao Ji, which room is yours? I think I’m lost!”

Ji Fengxue shook her head with a helpless smile, her eyes filled with affection. As she passed by them, she said, “Sorry for the scene.”

After she left, Li Yueyun suddenly remembered what Yu Siling had said earlier and asked, “They got married?”

“Yes,” Yu Siling replied.

Li Yueyun gave her a thoughtful look.

Once the movie officially started filming, Yu Siling became extremely busy, only able to send voice messages to Li Yueyun to ease the pain of separation.

She had initially thought that a brief separation wouldn’t be a big deal, but whether she was in a good mood, a bad mood, or whether the weather was nice or not, she always felt a strong urge to talk to Li Yueyun.

Moreover, without comparison, there would be no sense of loss.

Teacher Ji’s wife stayed in the hotel every day, playing games and keeping her company, occasionally visiting the set under the guise of checking in and learning.

Although the two of them didn’t engage in overly intimate gestures, even an occasional glance between them made the entire crew envious.

Yu Siling was so, so jealous!

Who doesn’t have a girlfriend? Hmph!

During dinner, Ji Fengxue and Xia Linxia, being quite adaptable, joined them in grabbing boxed meals and sat among the crowd.

Ji Fengxue suddenly asked, “Yu Siling, don’t you have a management company?”

“No, I don’t,” Yu Siling nodded.

“My agent wants to meet with you to discuss signing a contract. Are you interested?” Ji Fengxue said.

Yu Siling’s eyes widened. “Really?!”

They were with the biggest entertainment company at the moment!

“Yeah, she’s been so bored she’s practically begging to take on new talent, so I recommended you,” Ji Fengxue laughed.

Yu Siling: “Wuwuwu, thank you, Teacher Ji, I love you!”

Xia Linxia suddenly crossed her legs, deliberately slowing down the motion to show off her long legs in front of Yu Siling, the threat quite obvious.

Yu Siling immediately corrected herself, “No, no, I don’t love you anymore. My girlfriend would get mad.”

Xia Linxia was stunned and immediately squatted beside her. “You have a girlfriend too?”

Yu Siling replied, “Yes, I do.”

Xia Linxia thought for a moment and then understood. “Is it that woman we saw last time?”

Yu Siling didn’t feel the need to hide it and nodded. “Yes.”

“Holy crap, she’s stunning! A real gem! I thought she was too beautiful to be true and even wondered if she was an actress in the show. You managed to win her over, you’re really something!” Xia Linxia gave a thumbs up, then sighed. “Ah, your taste is so much better than mine.”

Xia Linxia continued to muse, “The more I think about it, the more I realize how beautiful your partner is. Maybe she should come and steal our jobs… Ouch! Ji Fengxue, let go, the collar is choking me, cough, are you trying to murder this beautiful, rich, and talented young woman… Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking, you’re the best, okay… Wuwuwu, don’t just stand there watching, come help me! You heartless people, your conscience has been eaten by dogs!”

Xia Linxia was dragged away by Ji Fengxue, cursing and complaining as she was pulled by the collar.

Everyone turned a blind eye, secretly cheering.

We’ve endured you two lovebirds flaunting your affection for far too long!

On Valentine’s Day, according to the shooting schedule, they were supposed to film a scene with intense emotional fluctuations, where the personalities of the two protagonists began to reverse.

They worked until late at night before wrapping up. Exhausted, Yu Siling returned to the hotel. After entering the elevator, she took out her phone and glanced at the messages, which were still from her conversation with Li Yueyun hours ago.

It was a workday, and the other party was exceptionally busy. Her father mentioned that Li Yueyun had been swamped since the start of the project.

After replying with “Wrapped up,” she stepped out of the elevator, opened the door to her room, and barely had the strength to turn on the light.

She made her way to the couch by the light of the entryway and lay down, catching a faint whiff of fragrance. In the dim light, she saw a figure across the room and was startled, immediately screaming, “Ahhh!”

“It’s me.”

It was Li Yueyun’s voice. Yu Siling finally snapped out of her fright and exclaimed joyfully, “When did you get here?”

“I rushed over after work,” Li Yueyun said, turning on the light and chuckling. “I anticipated every possibility, but I never expected you’d skip the first step of turning on the light. Were you planning to just fall asleep right away?”

“Honestly, I was,” Yu Siling said with a grin, only then noticing the table filled with colorful hydrangeas. “Wow! So beautiful! I love them!”

Li Yueyun pulled out a new design blueprint and said, “You mentioned wanting to renovate the house recently. I went to check it out in person and redrew the plans. It includes all the spaces you wanted. This is our home. Take a look and see if there’s anything else you’d like to add.”

Yu Siling looked at the house, which resembled a castle palace, and smiled so widely her eyes disappeared. “I love it! But there’s no rush to start the construction and decoration. Let me film a few more projects first.”

Li Yueyun laughed. “Are you really planning to support me?”

“Of course,” Yu Siling declared boldly. “From the first day we started dating, that’s been my goal to strive for!”

Li Yueyun smiled gently. “Then I’ll thank you in advance. Just focus on your filming. Don’t worry about our home. All you need to do is keep the keys safe.”

“Keys? The house isn’t even built yet, and there are already keys?” Yu Siling asked in surprise.

“Of course there are.”

Li Yueyun pulled out a ring from somewhere, holding it up in the air. The pure, sparkling diamond glimmered under the light.

“Wear this key, and we’ll have a home.”

Yu Siling’s heart fluttered. She reached out, her fingers trembling slightly. She took a deep breath, her lips curling into a smile. “Alright, I’ll take this key.”

Li Yueyun slipped the ring onto her finger and kissed her gently.

“Don’t lose this key,” Li Yueyun said tenderly.

“Absolutely not!” Yu Siling promised.

Li Yueyun added, “I won’t lose it either.”

Yu Siling: “That joke isn’t funny at all.”

Li Yueyun: “Then let me tell you a funnier one.”

Yu Siling: “What?”

Li Yueyun: “I love you.”

Yu Siling: “Then mine’s even funnier. I’ve loved you in my past life, this life, and I’ll love you in my next life too!”
