My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 107
After Yi Mei’er and Yun Yue arrived, more of Su Qixi’s friends came in, especially all her university classmates. Lin Mo stood by Su Qixi’s side, greeting everyone with a brilliant smile.
The engagement party itself was quite simple in terms of its program. It was only the choice of venue and the decorations that showed the grandeur expected of a superstar like Su Qixi. There was a professional photographer to capture the entire event. There were few activities during the day and only a high-class dinner in the evening. There was no strict limit on guests, and Su Qixi seemed happy to let the event trend online, as if she wanted to announce it to the whole world.
After everyone had arrived, Lin Mo and Su Qixi began to make their rounds, toasting each table. Su Qixi wore a smoky-green dress with diamonds, and Lin Mo wore a different cut in the same color. Su Qixi’s dress had a long train and a tulle waist, while Lin Mo’s dress was calf-length with sparkling diamonds on the front. They stood together, radiating brilliance.
The program moved on to the speeches from family and friends. Since neither had contact with their parents, a lot of formal procedures were skipped. Even the main speech was given by their mentor, Hao Tianhua.
Hao Tianhua had a head full of white hair and a calm, steady demeanor. He stepped onto the stage looking very happy. He took the microphone from the host and began his heartfelt speech.
“Respected guests, friends, ladies, and gentlemen, good evening. I am the teacher of the two ladies, Lin Mo and Su Qixi. I will take the liberty of speaking on their behalf as an elder.”
“I watched them from the time they met, got to know each other, fell in love, and finally, came to this happy ending after all their hardships. I am truly happy to see them get here,” he said, looking at the two of them. “You might not know this, but my student, Lin Mo, once went to Su Qixi’s classroom alone to stand up for her when she was being bullied. At the time, she was almost expelled. But she never backed down. So much happened, and for those three years, I could see that they were in love with each other.”
Su Qixi was startled and glanced at Lin Mo. Lin Mo gave her a soft smile. Her gentle smile looked like the warm winter sun under the stage lights.
Hao Tianhua continued, “I was very sad that they could never be together. You know I’m a teacher, but I’m very open-minded.”
The crowd laughed loudly. The people watching the live stream online were also roaring with laughter.
Hao Tianhua went on, “I watched them support each other, but also keep their distance, and it always made me anxious. I kept thinking, ‘Maybe I should play matchmaker?'”
The crowd burst into more laughter.
Hao Tianhua: “Youth is truly wonderful! For that little bit of vague affection, they tried everything they could to change themselves over those three years. Even though they didn’t seem to end up together, I saw Lin Mo’s eyes turn red from staying up all night, and I saw her come to me for help.”
“Later, I saw Su Qixi grow thinner, and I saw her eyes turn red from crying. I always felt that this ending wasn’t right.”
“Hahahahahahaha.”
“Hahahaha.”
The crowd roared with laughter again.
Hao Tianhua, however, sighed with genuine emotion. “But one of them was trying to arrange a new world for the other, while the other was searching for her in that world. Their separation seemed to be filled with so much helplessness. Fortunately, everything had a happy ending. I wish them a future filled with love, a lifetime of devotion, and a willingness to forgive and cherish each other.”
The audience applauded. Hao Tianhua smiled kindly. “I want to thank all the guests for taking time out of your busy schedules to come and witness their love and union and to give the two happy people your sincere blessings.”
Another round of warm applause broke out as people cheered. Hao Tianhua was dignified yet humorous. He smiled and waved at everyone. Lin Mo and Su Qixi went up to the stage and helped him down.
Lin Mo whispered to him, “Thank you for your speech, Teacher.” Even though Hao Tianhua’s words were simple, Lin Mo was deeply moved. She hadn’t known that her friends had been so worried about her all these years.
Hao Tianhua smiled and patted her hand. “Live a good life. A match made in heaven is a bond from fate. You and Qixi are a perfect match. If you live your lives well, your teacher will be relieved.”
Lin Mo laughed. “Since you said so, as your student, I’ll definitely listen.”
After seeing Hao Tianhua to the high school classmates’ table, friends from both sides took turns giving speeches. Yi Mei’er naturally spoke as Su Qixi’s friend. The usually aloof woman was quite talkative that day. She spoke of their years in college and then warned Lin Mo to treat Su Qixi well. Lin Mo didn’t dare to refute her and just nodded obediently.
The banquet ended with one blessing after another. A luxurious feast slowly came to a close.
But online, the party was just getting started. Half the entertainment industry had shown up, and it looked like a red carpet event. As a result, the hot search rankings were filled with one celebrity name after another. The entire event was being live-streamed by fans on their phones, and even Hao Tianhua’s speech had over 30,000 comments on the hot search.
But Lin Mo and Su Qixi didn’t care about any of that. They had worked hard to host this engagement party and were now completely exhausted. Su Qixi wasn’t a good drinker and was barely lucid. Lin Mo held her hand and coaxed her. “Come on, let’s go upstairs and get some rest.”
Su Qixi tilted her head and smiled. Even though she was a little drunk, her smile was even more enchanting, and it made Lin Mo’s heart skip a beat. She tightened her grip on Su Qixi’s hand. Su Qixi was very well-behaved and followed her.
They had reserved a room on the top floor, but the hotel had gone out of its way to decorate it. When they opened the door, they saw the floor covered with red rose petals, which led all the way to the bedroom. As soon as Lin Mo led Su Qixi into the room, they caught a faint scent of flowers. They walked on the petals through the dim, romantic setting. Lin Mo led Su Qixi to the bedroom and saw a huge, crimson heart made of rose petals on the two-meter-wide bed.
Lin Mo helped Su Qixi onto the bed and came back with a bottle of milk. “Do you want some?”
Su Qixi squinted, then asked, “Is that beer?”
Lin Mo: “…Yes.”
Su Qixi nodded, satisfied. “Then I’ll have beer.”
Lin Mo handed her the milk. Su Qixi took a sip and cried out, “This is cheap stuff. It doesn’t taste like beer at all. I don’t want it!”
Lin Mo chuckled helplessly. “Then don’t drink it. Are you ready to rest?”
Su Qixi got up obediently and wobbled toward the bathroom, starting to take off her clothes as she went. Lin Mo was so scared that she jumped up to close the curtains. Su Qixi is a celebrity. What if there are paparazzi on the other side?
Before she could close the curtains completely, Su Qixi was already half-undressed. Lin Mo quickly called out, “Wife, go slow.”
“Wife?” Su Qixi turned to look at her, smiling meaningfully. “I like that name.”
Lin Mo immediately pulled the curtains shut, and Su Qixi continued taking off the rest of her clothes.
Lin Mo returned to the bed and watched Su Qixi wobble back and forth, but her clothes-shedding was very fast. She was already half-naked and had fallen onto the bed. Only her underwear remained, covering the places that made Lin Mo’s blood rush. Even though it wasn’t the first time Lin Mo had seen her like this, she couldn’t help but go over and get close to her. After all, Su Qixi had started it.
Su Qixi was a little delirious from the alcohol. When she saw Lin Mo, she reached out and touched her lips. “Lin Mo, your lips are so soft!”
Lin Mo smiled softly. “Want to kiss them?”
Su Qixi’s only response was to tilt her head up, offer her inviting red lips, and challenge her with a question of her own, “Do you want to kiss me?”
This was a different Su Qixi, but she was just as alluring. With all her efforts to entice, the air grew hotter. How could Lin Mo resist? She chuckled. The sound was like a feather scraping against Su Qixi’s heart, making her eyes full of longing.
Lin Mo lowered her head and held Su Qixi’s lips, twirling her tongue around. The gentle friction made them both tremble with a sigh. The tingling sensation spread through their bodies, making them feel weak and wanting more.
Su Qixi was too drunk to do anything but make little noises, unable to resist. She kept trying to get closer to Lin Mo. Lin Mo also took off her dress. Without any clothes to separate them, they were naked against each other, sharing their body heat, taking things a step further.
The night was long, and under the starry sky, you could hear their heavy breathing.
The next day was bright and sunny. When Su Qixi woke up, she felt sore and weak. She wasn’t completely drunk the night before, so she remembered all the wild things they had done. She felt a little embarrassed as she remembered her uninhibited behavior. She patted her blushing cheeks and thought, I’m done for. I feel like I have a craving for more.
The door opened, and Lin Mo came back with breakfast. She saw Su Qixi who had just woken up. She smiled gently. “Morning. Go wash up. I brought breakfast back for you.”
Su Qixi nodded, her face red. Lin Mo laughed. “It’s not the first time. Why are you still shy?”
Su Qixi thought about how wild she had been the night before. “I was a little reckless last night. I’ll be more careful next time.”
But then, Su Qixi’s face grew even redder as she looked down and whispered, “It was… not too bad, I guess.”
Lin Mo’s eyes curved into crescents. She looked at Su Qixi and said, “If you like it, we can try other things next time.”
Su Qixi’s face was completely red, but she still managed to glare at her and tell her to shut up.
Once they had changed into comfortable clothes and sat down to eat, Lin Mo mentioned something. “I might have to go to Jing City in the next couple of days.”
Su Qixi was confused. “What’s wrong?”
Lin Mo sighed. “It’s nothing. Qi Yoshan is seriously ill, and I heard she wants to see me.”
Su Qixi’s expression froze, and she frowned. “Is it important?”
Lin Mo nodded. Su Qixi didn’t say anything else. She only told Lin Mo, “Come home early. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Lin Mo got up, leaned in close to her, and kissed the corner of her mouth. “Very soon. I promise.”
