Chapter 140: What an Incredible Wife [Second Update]

This time, Qin Haiyu was truly moved to tears. Earlier, when she saw her husband on stage, her eyes had turned red not from being touched, nor from pleasant surprise, but from the anxiety of not being able to find him and being unsettled by that song, "Calla Lily Love," with its heavy implications.

Now that "Patrick Star" was revealed to be her husband, and given the profound meaning behind the name he chose for the show, she simply couldn't hold back her emotions.

As Yu Zhile had said, she was indeed fragile and delicate. Having lost her parents at a young age, she had endured hardships many could never imagine. It wasn't until she met Yu Zhile, married him, and had their child that she finally stepped out of that sorrow, becoming the strong, optimistic woman full of hope for life that she was today.

After Yu Zhile finished speaking, he reached out to wipe the tears from his wife's face, comforting her with a doting smile: "Why are you crying again? This is a live broadcast! Mom and the baby are watching at home; if the baby sees Mommy crying, she’ll start crying too!"

Qin Haiyu nodded through her sobs, pursing her lips to hold back the tears.

Ni Qiqin handed her a tissue, feeling a sense of envy for the romantic love shared by the couple, but the broadcast time was running out. After thanking the sponsors, she led the singers in waving goodbye to the audience. Amidst the salute of fireworks on stage, the live finale came to an end.

The first season of "Masked Singer" concluded perfectly!

Xu Ling stepped onto the stage and offered to take the large bouquet of red roses, saying, "You’re just going to throw these away when you get home, so I might as well take them off your hands!"

Though she had stopped crying, Qin Haiyu’s voice still held a trace of tears as she huffed, "It’s not like someone bought them specifically for me anyway! If you like them, take them!"

Xu Ling looked at Yu Zhile and clicked her tongue: "So you didn't even buy these? It seems your romantic gesture was lacking! You’d better go home and kneel on the trophies to reflect on your mistakes!"

"..."

Yu Zhile freed up his hands to take the two trophies his wife was holding, grumbling, "Wife, this Fatty Ling is so mean, always trying to sow discord between us. Let's ignore her and head home!"

Xu Ling retorted indignantly, "You're the one who's a fatty! I’m not fat anymore!"

Yu Zhile hummed, "Right, right, just a hundred and thirty pounds!"

"It's 126 pounds!" Xu Ling snapped angrily. She had lost several pounds over the summer break!

Qin Haiyu was amused by their bickering, but she held back her laughter, pinched her husband’s waist, and said, "Don't bully Lingling!"

Yu Zhile wisely relented, "For my wife's sake, I won't hold it against this Fatty Ling!"

Xu Ling countered, "If I’m Fatty Ling, then you’re Eunuch Yu, you smelly salted fish!"

Qin Haiyu suddenly became protective, saying, "Lingling, don't say that about him!"

Yu Zhile shot a triumphant grin, planted a kiss on his wife’s cheek, and boasted, "My wife is the best!"

Xu Ling rolled her eyes, "I can’t bear to watch you two!"

After leaving the Cultural Center, Yu Zhile drove his wife home. The road was congested, and in an effort to avoid actually kneeling on those trophies, Yu Zhile tried every trick in the book to keep his wife entertained.

Suddenly, Qin Haiyu asked, " 'The unattainable always stirs up trouble'—who is this woman you can’t attain who keeps your heart so stirred up?"

"..."

Why on earth did she bring up the lyrics to "Red Rose"?

Yu Zhile quickly explained, "There’s no one! You’re wronging me! How would I dare to be stirred up by another woman? Those are just lyrics, written for the rhyme scheme! Besides, my wife is so sexy and beautiful, I’m already worn out at home—where would I find the energy to pay attention to any other flashy distractions?"

Qin Haiyu sniffled and then asked about the lyrics to "Old Boy": "Who is the person you miss day and night and love so deeply, but who hasn't accepted you yet? And who is the person you once loved?"

"..."

Oh no.

Yu Zhile laughed bitterly: "Wife, Zhang Qingsong is called an 'Old Boy' on the show, so the song was written based on his personal experiences. That person in the lyrics has nothing to do with me!"

Qin Haiyu tentatively believed him for now, then asked, "Then how do you explain the line in 'Someone Like Me' about 'spending a whole relationship just to trade for a lifetime of scars'?" She pouted her small face, looking aggrieved: "Do you not love me anymore?"

Yu Zhile said nervously, "No! Don't be silly, honey! These lyrics are all fake, you can't take them seriously! How could I possibly not love you?"

*Hee hee...*

Qin Haiyu smiled, feeling happy and touched. Her husband’s nervous reaction proved that he truly cared for her and loved her!

She kept up her aggrieved expression and asked, "What about 'The Light Chaser'? Who is that person you wait for on the road, regardless of whether they pass by? And how do you explain 'The Mermaid'! You actually fell in love with a fish! And you were willing to dive into the depths of the ocean for her!"

Yu Zhile had never imagined his wife would remember so many lyrics! He was rendered speechless, not knowing how to explain himself!

However, a thought occurred to him. Yu Zhile cleverly put on a stern face and countered, "Well, Qin Haiyu! Before I unmasked myself, you clearly didn't know that 'Patrick Star' was me, yet you remember the lyrics to every song 'Patrick Star' sang so clearly! You need to explain that to me first!"

Qin Haiyu was stunned for a moment. How did the tables turn so easily? Shouldn't you be the one explaining things to me?

She began to brew an expression of grievance and tears, pouting as she said, "Husband, you're doubting me! You don't trust me, wuwuwu!"

Yu Zhile also put on a miserable, pained expression, nearly tearing up, and cried, "Wife, you're doubting me too! You don't trust me either, wuwuwu!"

*Pfft!*

Qin Haiyu was defeated by her husband and burst into laughter.

Yu Zhile breathed a sigh of relief!

The storm had finally passed! He chuckled, "Wife, you look better when you're smiling! Seeing you look so sad and aggrieved just now broke my heart!"

"It was all your doing!" Qin Haiyu turned her head away and said, "Earlier, when 'Patrick Star' sang 'Calla Lily Love,' I was so worried I cried, searching everywhere for you and unable to find you. I was afraid you’d be angry, afraid you’d jump on stage and start a fight. I never expected 'Patrick Star' to be you! You made me cry, and it wasn't a pleasant surprise at all—it wasn't romantic in the slightest!"

Yu Zhile apologized, "I'm sorry, honey. It won't happen again."

"No!" Qin Haiyu suddenly giggled, "Actually, it was still a very pleasant surprise and quite romantic! Husband, keep up the good work!"

Yu Zhile: "..."

What kind of divine wife is this?!
