After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 127: The Henpecked Young Wife

Seeing that her son was no longer as resistant to returning to school as when it was mentioned at the juvenile detention center, Jiang Wenhu silently breathed a sigh of relief and made plans with hope, "Once we move, let’s hire a tutor to help you with your studies and aim to get into that South City No. 3 Middle School your sister mentioned."

Although Jiang Lingxu wasn’t confident, he still nodded earnestly in response to Jiang Wenhu’s expectant and gratified gaze.

"No need to hire a tutor specifically; I can attend a tutoring class. As long as I study earnestly, the effect will be the same."

In the past, his family also hired tutors for him. At that time, he didn’t think the cost of hiring a tutor was high, but given their current family situation, it was somewhat unaffordable.

Jiang Lingxi had just taken out her vibrating phone and looked up at Jiang Lingxu after hearing what he said.

The last time they met, this boy was still like a little wolf full of resistance and vigilance. Now, he seemed more like a little lamb in wolf’s clothing.

She opened the message just sent by Tong Yue.

"I was just having coffee with someone, and what did you message me earlier? Why did you retract it?"

She was just about to reply ’nothing,’ when Tong Yue’s second message came right after.

"Good news for you, the time and place for Director Wei’s new drama audition have been set, it’s the day after tomorrow in the Imperial City, saving us the trouble of traveling back and forth."

"You should stay home and rest with your family for the next two days and maintain a good state. Let’s aim to get the role in one go the day after tomorrow."

She followed up with several encouraging emojis.

Jiang Lingxi replied with an ’OK’ emoji and looked up to see Jiang Wenhu and Shen Yunqing both looking her way and raised an eyebrow.

Did she mistakenly overlook an important topic while checking the messages?

"Xixi, if you’re busy with work, you and Yunqing can head back first to take care of your things."

Honestly, watching her daughter and son-in-law sit so uncomfortably in this small living room made her feel awkward.

It seems they really need to get a bigger house; otherwise, there will be no place for her daughter and son-in-law to stay when they visit.

Jiang Lingxi wasn’t aware that Jiang Wenhu was worried to this extent. Upon hearing this, she stood up naturally, "Then Yunqing and I will head back first."

Compared to chatting with the whole family, she felt more at ease by herself.

Shen Yunqing also stood up and, seeing Jiang Lingxi reaching for her bag on the side table, picked it up first, slightly bending his arm and signaling.

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes on the sofa, she had no choice but to take Shen Yunqing’s arm, appearing affectionate.

Once out the door, Jiang Lingxi immediately withdrew her hand, took her bag back, and commented lightly, "You handled that well."

Shen Yunqing nodded slightly, "It was necessary."

Jiang Lingxi looked at him steadily for a moment, then turned and headed downstairs.

Downstairs, Zhao Hu was squatting under a tree, both catching his breath and playing a mobile game. Hearing the footsteps, he looked up to see Jiang Lingxi approaching with some momentum, while Mr. Shen followed behind like a meek little wife.

The thought startled him, and he shivered, quickly putting his phone away and rushing over to open the car door, "Madam, please get in the car."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at Shen Yunqing who was following and hesitated but didn’t ask him to sit in the front passenger seat.

After all, the car and the driver belonged to him.

Shortly after the car started, Shen Yunqing suddenly reached over and raised the partition between the front and back seats.

Once the partition fully rose, isolating the driver’s seat, he looked earnestly at her, "Is there anything I didn’t do well?"

Jiang Lingxi was taken aback by his somewhat hurt look, "No."

It wasn’t that he didn’t do well, but rather too well.

It was as if they were genuinely a loving couple, rather than just on the surface.

It even gave her the illusion that they were truly in love.

But she was not the original owner!

This illusion made her very uncomfortable, and somewhat inexplicably frustrated.

Shen Yunqing lowered his eyes in thought.

Today’s scenario had been rehearsed several times in his mind.

The Jiang family’s attitude towards him as a son-in-law wasn’t unexpected, but the feedback from Your Majesty differed from what he anticipated.

Could it be that he wasn’t doing well enough?

"When we find a house, will you come to check it out?"

Seeing him change the topic, Jiang Lingxi also readily let go of the inexplicable annoyance inside, "Yes, and aren’t you supposed to be there too?"

After all, he still had to be the perfect son-in-law for the Jiang family!

"Then I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow."

Jiang Lingxi hesitated but still nodded.

If they were to put on an act, they might as well do it thoroughly.

If they went separately, Jiang Wenhu might start asking questions again.

Less is more when it comes to matters.

The car door opened, and Jiang Lingxi saw Shen Yunqing get out first, then turn and offer his hand. She paused before placing her hand on his.

When releasing her grip, she courteously said, "Thank you for coming with me today."

Shen Yunqing, noticing her somewhat softened tone, smiled, "It was no trouble."

Jiang Lingxi could tell Shen Yunqing truly meant it when he said it was no trouble.

As for why this person initially wanted to marry the original owner, it had become her only unsolved mystery. The one who posed this mystery was determined to take on this trouble without offering her any explanation, only increasing her curiosity about the reason.

"Do you intend to continue acting with me? It’s actually not necessary to trouble yourself so much..."

Shen Yunqing interrupted with a smile, "Miss Jiang, I still say the same thing, you are my benefactor. You don’t need to burden yourself, I do all this willingly!"

"Alright!" Jiang Lingxi nodded, acknowledging a temporary retreat.

At this moment, she really couldn’t pry open this determinedly silent mouth.

She wanted to see whether this person could indeed accompany her on this charade indefinitely!

Watching his slightly indignant silhouette disappear from view, Shen Yunqing stood where he was for a moment longer before turning back to the car.

"Let’s go."

Over decades, he had come to understand Your Majesty’s character, just as Your Majesty understood him.

Even though Your Majesty is now much younger, with the freedom and recklessness characteristic of youth, the fundamental nature hasn’t changed.

If he treated him too kindly, it would make him uncomfortable.

But being able to show genuine little emotions in front of him showed that Your Majesty doesn’t treat him as an inconsequential stranger.

And what he sought was this shallow yet significant attention.

Jiang Lingxi opened the door and entered the living room, then drew open the sheer curtains on the balcony to look down.

Seeing Shen Yunqing stand below for a moment before getting in the car and leaving, she frowned involuntarily.

Since waking up, the thoughts of everyone around her have been clear, good intentions from malice discerned at a glance.

Only Shen Yunqing felt enshrouded in mystery.

If she hadn’t sensed his goodwill instead of malice, she might have already tried some means to dig into his background.

But precisely because of his goodwill, it made handling the situation more difficult.

She couldn’t be too harsh or too lenient towards him.

Perhaps in future interactions, she should act more ostentatiously, using the zeal she had when she used to contest with her emperor brothers, to see how much Shen Yunqing could tolerate?
