After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Everyone was worried that Yu Lu might go tattling to the elders, accusing them of bullying her. But honestly, wasn’t she the one picking fights first?

“Ahem, Yu Lu, do you have a boyfriend?” Qin Yi decided to change the subject, hoping to subtly remind Yu Lu of boundaries. After all, her intentions toward Qin Xian were as obvious as daylight, but the Qin family couldn’t afford to let something so inappropriate happen. If she took things too far, how would they explain this to the elders?

Yu Lu immediately put on a delicate voice and acted coy. “Not yet~ My standards are too high. I haven’t dated anyone so far.”

Ji Fei had just taken a sip of water when she heard this and almost spat it out. In the end, she choked so badly that Qin Xian had to hold her close and pat her back. Across from them, Yu Lu’s face twisted with rage—she was convinced that Ji Fei had figured out her intentions and was deliberately flaunting her love with Qin Xian to assert her dominance.

But Ji Fei was being falsely accused—she was purely shocked by Yu Lu’s audacity.

【Girl, please. Your current boyfriend was just texting you the other day, and you claim you’ve never dated anyone? Come on, big sis, you’ve been dating since middle school! Not to mention… some of those relationships were technically illegal for minors in this country. Sure, love and freedom are yours to have, but can you at least not blatantly lie?】

Qin family’s three siblings: …Yeah, this girl’s definitely trouble.

Unfazed, Yu Lu continued, “No one outside compares to our Qin family men, especially someone like Qin Xian-gege. I’ve never met anyone like him before. I’m sure a lot of people must like him.”

Qin Xian didn’t even bother acknowledging her. If he didn’t like someone, he wouldn’t waste a single word on them.

At this point, the others were already used to covering for him.

“Ah Xian has had admirers since childhood,” Qin Yan said. “But he’s never cared for any of them.”

“Oh, loads of them,” Qin Chao added. “Some girls who liked me saw my second brother once and immediately switched sides.”

Qin Rong sighed. “Any girl who met me and realized I was Qin Xian’s cousin would instantly beg me to introduce them to him. But my brother never took an interest in anyone.”

“Really?!” Ji Fei perked up, suddenly intrigued. “Then did anything particularly spectacular happen?”

Qin family’s three siblings: …We were saying this to shut Yu Lu down, why are you so excited?

Despite their initial reluctance, they actually started recalling stories for Ji Fei—stories that sounded straight out of a romance novel.

Ji Fei was absolutely thrilled listening to them.

“Ji Fei, you’re so excited. Are you regretting not meeting Qin Xian when you were younger?” Qin Yi teased.

“Maybe she just wishes she could’ve dated him since childhood,” Qin Xiaoyu giggled.

【Uh… actually, what I was thinking was—if Qin Xian had that many admirers, then he was practically an idol. If I had been his classmate, I could’ve made a fortune selling his photos, charging for message delivery, or helping girls pass gifts to him. I could’ve achieved financial freedom as a student!】

After all, back in her original world, Ji Fei had run small-scale side hustles like that.

Ji Fei: “Yeah, yeah, I wish I’d been Qin Xian’s desk mate since childhood!”

Everyone laughed at their sweetness.

Qin family’s three siblings pinched each other, trying desperately not to laugh—meanwhile, Qin Xian was clearly brooding.

Qin Xian suddenly tilted Ji Fei’s chin toward him, making her look directly into his eyes. His tone was unreadable as he murmured, “Yeah… it would’ve been nice if we were desk mates.” But by the end of the sentence, his voice had softened, turning inexplicably tender.

Yes, it would’ve been nice.

But unfortunately, they were years apart.

It was truly a pity.

If he had met her earlier, he never would have gone down the wrong path, never would have made those mistakes. Thinking back, he didn’t even remember why he agreed to date that person back then. It was like he had just gone through the motions, as if it was expected at that stage of life.

Before Ji Fei, his life had been neatly structured. He had people he disliked, family he cared about, and friends—but no one who had ever truly shaken him.

Until Ji Fei appeared.

Qin Xian instinctively tightened his arms around her as if she would disappear otherwise.

The room was filled with laughter, but one person was practically fuming.

Damn it! Yu Lu thought. I was the one trying to provoke her, so why does it feel like I just got force-fed a mouthful of dog food?!

Swallowing her anger, she asked, “Then who was Qin Xian-gege’s first love?”

She refused to believe that a man like Qin Xian had never been in love before meeting Ji Fei. That was statistically less likely than winning the lottery. There was no way all the other women in the world had been fools—someone must have gotten to him before Ji Fei.

Yu Lu’s words struck right on a sore spot.

Qin Xian’s one and only black mark in history.

Qin Lao’er’s three kids knew the truth. The others didn’t know the full details, but they had heard vague rumors about his university days.

So… his first love was…

Qin Xian suddenly panicked.

He ducked his head and leaned against Ji Fei’s shoulder, his whole body radiating surrender, silently begging his wife not to get angry and not to dig up old grudges.

【HAHAHAHA! Yu Lu, you tried to stir trouble, but you just hit Qin Xian’s biggest humiliation! The great CEO Qin, actually scammed in love? Can he even admit that? HAHAHAHA!】

Qin Xian: …

Qin Lao’er’s family: Welp, no need to worry.

“What’s wrong? Can’t talk about it? Or does your wife not like hearing about it?” Yu Lu pressed further.

The others, thinking there really was a sensitive issue, were about to steer the conversation away.

But then—

Qin Yan suddenly lit up, as if she had just remembered something. Smiling mischievously, she said, “Oh, if we’re talking about first loves, then we should actually mention the first woman Qin Xian ever promised to marry.”

Qin Chao and Qin Rong immediately stared at their sister in shock. Holy shit, is she trying to start a war? Did their brother actually propose to that ex?!

Even Qin Xian looked at Qin Yan in confusion.

Ji Fei was intrigued. She hadn’t been able to check Qin Xian’s gossip logs since they got together, so she actually didn’t know much about his past.

Yu Lu, sensing the tension, grinned maliciously. “Oh? What’s this? Come on, tell us. No one here will be upset, right? Don’t kill the mood.”

No one responded to her.

Everyone was too invested in watching Qin Lao’er’s family implode.

Then, Qin Yan turned to Ji Fei and smiled.

“It was you.”

Ji Fei blinked. “Huh? Me?”

She thought Qin Yan was just referring to their eventual relationship, like how Qin Xian had later promised to marry her.

Qin Chao and Qin Rong also suddenly remembered—their brother had never said anything like that to his ex!

So technically, Qin Yan had just found a flawless loophole.

Even Qin Xian thought the same thing.

And everyone else assumed Qin Yan was just being clever.

But then—

Qin Yan smirked and started reminiscing.

“I remember it clearly. Qin Xian was ten years old… That was around the time he had started spending more time with us. We were playing house, and I wanted to be the bride while he played the groom. But then, he very seriously told me—‘I already made a promise to marry someone else, so I can’t be your groom. Not even for pretend.’”
