My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 18

Lin Mo wasn’t surprised to hear the voice from behind her. She turned to look at Su Qixi and chuckled.

Su Qixi was standing on the path not far away, and the soft light from the light strips on both sides created a halo around her. She was already as beautiful as a flower, and the light made her look even more radiant and appealing.

Lin Mo didn’t answer immediately. She just smiled and said, “Come sit here.”

Su Qixi’s breath caught in her throat, but she still walked over. As she rounded the table to face Lin Mo, she saw two glasses of wine. She knew Su Qixi would come to her. Su Qixi took a deep breath. Lin Mo was always so good at planning everything.

But it was this confidence that made her fall so hard for her back then.

Su Qixi sat down. Lin Mo pushed a wine glass toward her and said, “You’ve been working for so many years. Can you drink now?”

Su Qixi nodded. Lin Mo smiled again. “Give it a try! I think this wine is pretty good.”

Su Qixi obediently picked up the glass and took a small sip. The wine was mellow and sweet. The crew had indeed prepared some good wine. It could only be said that Yimei’er was rich!

Lin Mo watched her. When she raised her head to drink, she revealed her pale, swan-like neck, as if she was inviting her.

Of course, that was impossible.

Su Qixi put down the wine glass, looked at Lin Mo with her dark eyes, and insisted, “I drank the wine. Now it’s your turn to answer me. Was it you back then?”

“You already know the answer, don’t you?” Lin Mo took a sip of red wine and said confidently, “You rejected it and went to work because you suspected it was me who sponsored you, didn’t you?” Her beautiful smile in the darkness was like a fairy’s.

“Don’t beat around the bush,” Su Qixi insisted on a clear answer. “Just tell me, was it you or not!”

Lin Mo sighed, put down her wine glass, and looked at Su Qixi. Her light-colored eyes, which always looked so loving in the daytime, were now as deep as the dark universe.

It wasn’t that Lin Mo didn’t want to answer; it was just as she had said, she knew Su Qixi too well.

So, she answered, but she also asked Su Qixi in return, “If I said it was me, would you believe me?”

Believe her?

Su Qixi shook her head. “I don’t believe it. It doesn’t make sense. Lin Mo, it doesn’t make sense at all.” She had come for an answer and had gotten one.

But Su Qixi shook her head and walked away.

Lin Mo had rejected her confession and didn’t even give her a chance to be friends. She had left so heartlessly. After the college entrance exam, Su Qixi never went back to that small rented room.

She was abandoned again in the place where she was saved.

Lin Mo had left so resolutely and heartlessly.

But she paid for my college food?

Why?

If they couldn’t be lovers, friends, or family.

Was she, Su Qixi, not worthy?

Or was she unwilling to have any contact with her? She would rather sponsor her secretly than have any communication with her?

It doesn’t make sense!

She didn’t know that after Lin Mo left, she drank her first bottle of wine in that rented room. She got so drunk that she almost broke down several times.

Lin Mo didn’t know how much the abandonment had hurt her.

Why did she give me money? If she still had feelings for me, even if it was just platonic or familial love, why did she leave?

It doesn’t make sense!

“It does make sense.” Lin Mo’s voice came from behind her, ethereal, as if from a distance.

“As long as you believe me.”

But how can I believe you, Lin Mo?

How much does a person have to love to ignore all truths, lies, and even absurdities, and choose to believe?

The next day, the live broadcast officially began.

Fans had been waiting for the live stream, so at 8 a.m., there were already over two million people watching.

Feng Ye was very pleased. The first day’s hype was quite effective.

The camera was aimed at the staircase. Lin Mo and Qiu Mingyi were coming down from upstairs. Today, Lin Mo was dressed simply in a white t-shirt and jeans, a standard casual outfit.

But she had a beautiful face, a good figure, and was tall. She looked elegant even in a simple outfit.

Qiu Mingyi, a middle-aged man, no longer had to maintain his idol image. He had also changed into a comfortable t-shirt and casual pants for convenience.

The two started chatting on the stairs. “Everyone has been too tired these past few days. They’re still not awake yet.” The guests who came were all very famous. To be honest, the crew had spent a lot of money on them.

But the last season’s ratings were so low, and the last hour of the show was a live broadcast that ended with a technical issue. Because of this, they still hadn’t found a TV station for this season.

Lin Mo nodded in understanding. “Let them rest.” Anyway, today was just for preparing to open the inn.

Qiu Mingyi: “We’re not doing anything anyway. How about we make some breakfast for everyone?”

Lin Mo didn’t refuse. “Sure, I can be your assistant!”

Qiu Mingyi happily nodded, and they both went to the kitchen. When they opened the fridge, they found that there weren’t many ingredients to choose from. They could barely make some sandwiches.

Qiu Mingyi took out a few eggs. “I can make sandwiches, and I’m an expert at frying eggs.”

His voice was so confident that even Lin Mo, who was so smart, wondered if senior Zhuo was too strict with him.

So, she washed the tomatoes and lettuce.

A moment later, she smelled something burning. She turned and saw that Qiu Mingyi had ruined two eggs. The edges were black, and the middle was black on one side and golden on the other.

Qiu Mingyi was a little embarrassed with the spatula in his hand. Lin Mo was also a little embarrassed. She apologized to senior Zhuo in her mind: I’m sorry, senior Zhuo. I shouldn’t have doubted you.

But they still had to make breakfast, and it was getting late. Lin Mo tentatively asked, “How about… I do it?”

Qiu Mingyi stepped aside, looking like a little boy who had done something wrong. He was very obedient.

Standing next to Lin Mo, he realized that she wasn’t just talking when she said she was a good cook. Her movements were quick and smooth. She didn’t need Qiu Mingyi to do anything; she had already prepared all the ingredients.

While they were making the sandwiches, Qiu Mingyi couldn’t help but ask her, “Why are you so good at cooking?”

Lin Mo answered subconsciously, “I had to take care of a classmate in high school, so I learned.” They couldn’t always eat out.

[Who was she taking care of?]

[A classmate?]

[The Kirin fans are loving this, thank you.]

[This is a feast. If I don’t become a fan now, I’ll regret it!]

Qiu Mingyi was also shocked. “Huh? You had to take care of a classmate in high school?” He thought about his own life. He got married only after he had a successful career, and he considered that taking care of his family. But they still fought.

This…

This person started learning how to cook and take care of a classmate in high school. People really are different. He couldn’t compare.

“Hahaha, don’t think too much about it. It was a bit of a coincidence for me, but I was happy to do it,” Lin Mo said, laughing at Qiu Mingyi’s shocked expression.

And back then, she was indeed very happy to do it.

Qiu Mingyi looked at Lin Mo, who was busy working with her head down. The mention of taking care of a classmate brought a gentle smile to her face. He was curious and wanted to ask more.

Just then, Qi Youshan walked into the kitchen and said in surprise, “Seniors, are you already making breakfast? I’m so sorry, I woke up late.” She had woken up and realized it was late. She had originally wanted to come to the kitchen to help make breakfast and gain some goodwill.

But when she came in, she saw that breakfast was already done.

[My little idol is so polite!!!]

[Aaaahhhh, my idol is so cute!]

Qiu Mingyi had no choice but to give up on his plan. He said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Just help us take out these yogurts!”

“Okay.” Qi Youshan quickly went in to help. With more people, they finished faster.

As soon as breakfast was served, the others came downstairs. After apologizing and thanking them, everyone gathered around the table to eat.

Because of what Lin Mo had said, Qiu Mingyi paid special attention to the two of them today. He was surprised to find that they didn’t talk to each other.

This was… strange. Qiu Mingyi took a sip of yogurt, deep in thought.

Tsk, I want coffee.

[Handsome and beautiful people are so pleasing to the eye.]

[Wuwuwu, my Witch Rain is eating breakfast together.]

[Aaaahhhh, little Lunlun is giving yogurt to little sweetheart Qingqing.]

[Their fingers touched, aaaaaahhhh!!!]

[How strange. Why isn’t the Kirin CP interacting today?]

[Aaaahhhh, avoiding each other means it’s real! I don’t care!!!]

[Maybe last night… aaaaaahhhh, my brain, stop!!!]

[As a solo fan of SuSu, seeing the comments is…

After the meal, everyone helped clean up the dishes. Of course, Lin Mo and Qiu Mingyi were told they didn’t have to clean up since they had made breakfast.

As the oldest senior, Zhuo Zitao made the decision, and no one else had any objections.

Cleaning the dishes was simple, and with so many people, it was even faster. Lin Mo saw that Su Qixi had been “kicked out” of the kitchen.

Lin Mo put away her phone, pulled out the chair next to her, and said to Su Qixi, “Sit here?”

Su Qixi stood not far from her. She didn’t want to go over, but she was a little hesitant. She already asked. If I don’t go, will I be making her look bad? We’re on live broadcast! With so many fans watching, she’ll look bad.

Lin Mo lowered her head in disappointment. Su Qixi’s breath caught, and she walked over.

[I don’t think Ms. Pig is doing this on purpose, is she?]

[Definitely! That’s too fake.]

[She’s not in the industry, and her acting is so bad it’s embarrassing.]

[Is she acting for you? You didn’t see that our darling SuSu is already feeling sorry for her.]

[Aaaahhhh, the Kirin CP is really real!!!]

Seeing Su Qixi sit down next to her, Lin Mo smiled and said, “Did you forget what I said last night?”

“What do you mean? You lied to me yesterday?” Su Qixi’s hair stood on end.

Lin Mo was speechless. “No, I didn’t lie to you.”

Su Qixi scoffed. “Do you think I believe you?”

Lin Mo: “…You should just forget it.”

Su Qixi: “Ha, I knew you lied to me.”

Lin Mo was at a loss for words. She could only say helplessly, “Stop it. I can’t win against you.”

This time, it was Su Qixi who was at a loss for words, and her ears couldn’t help but turn red again…
