My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 21

Su Qixi couldn’t handle Lin Mo. Even before Lin Mo knew how to sweet-talk people, she could charm them. Now, who knows where she learned to, she was spouting out “nonsense” one pile after another.

Su Qixi had originally thought she had a “cold and hard” heart, and surely wouldn’t soften or give her a chance.

But Lin Mo was just too much.

She was always getting close to her and, and always calling her “classmate.”

They were both adults now. When those old titles were spoken, they carried a certain degree of embarrassment for some reason.

Ignoring everyone else present, Su Qixi frantically fixed her hair, refusing to pay any attention to Lin Mo.

Qiu Mingyi and the others finally realized that Lin Mo was just using them to show off, and they couldn’t help but purse their lips, “Ah, to be young is wonderful!”

Lin Mo didn’t argue. She propped her chin on her hand, openly watching Su Qixi fix her hair, then asked her, “You’re not mad about yesterday anymore, are you?”

Su Qixi’s smile vanished, and she ignored her even more.

[Hahaha, why did you have to ask her that?]

[Why did you have to open your mouth! She had already forgotten, hahahaha.]

Lin Mo muttered to herself, “Did I mess it up?”

[Oh, so you do know! Hahahaha…]

[Should I say you’re clever, or just slow?]

[Everything was perfect, how did you end up like this!]

The viewers in the comments section were laughing so hard they were bent over, and for a moment, they couldn’t tell if Lin Mo understood what was happening or not.

After a round of teasing, the topic returned to opening the store.

Everyone’s enthusiasm was piqued by Lin Mo. After considering her words, they decided to add fruit drinks for the sake of their fans.

After all, even the big-name celebrities who didn’t rely on fans for their livelihood were still very grateful for years of fan support.

Our fans have supported us for so long, so what if it’s a little more trouble???

Thank you, my fans!!!

Lin Mo suddenly reacted, “…No, I don’t have fans.”

Qiu Mingyi looked at her meaningfully, “You will.”

Lin Mo: “…”

[Hahaha, Miss Pig’s indescribable expression is priceless.]

[Darn it, Miss Pig, don’t you know about the Qilin CP fans? We’re your fans too!]

[Exactly! As a founding member of the Qilin CP fan group, I’ve already bought my plane tickets.]

Finally, after friendly discussion, everyone unanimously decided that the main business of the “Ink Guest” shop would be coffee, fruit drinks, and a limited selection of cakes.

With coffee on the menu, they naturally had to decide which types to sell. Qiu Mingyi and Zhuo Zitao were both skilled at making coffee, and could handle everything from espresso to lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos.

Next, they chose which fruit drinks to offer, which was ultimately determined by the cost of ingredients.

When it came to the pastries, everyone was completely lost.

Because of this, it was decided that only Lin Mo could be in charge of sourcing them, as only she knew what kinds of pastries to get.

After the main direction was set, they needed to choose partners. Going to get supplies was not a small task, so Lin Mo would need an assistant. As the only person who knew how to make pastries, Lin Mo had a lot of say in the matter.

Zhuo Zitao asked Lin Mo, “Who do you want to go with?”

Lin Mo was quick and to the point, “How about Xiao Xi!”

[Ahhhhh, I’m tired of saying it, Qilin is real!!!]

[The couple I ship will never break up!!!]

Su Qixi was still thinking about why her “hard and cold” heart hadn’t appeared recently, so when she heard this, she coldly retorted, “…Why should I agree?”

Zhuo Zitao said, “Because she knows how to make cakes.”

Su Qixi was speechless. “…”

Qiu Mingyi didn’t let up. He added, “Didn’t you say it was to please your fans? She doesn’t have any.”

This shut Su Qixi down completely. She thought with a huff, Fine, I’ll go!

Qiu Mingyi asked jokingly, “By the way, do I have any fans?”

[Hahahaha, Master Qiu, we’re just old, not dead!!!]

[I grew up watching Master Qiu’s TV shows, so how am I not a fan?]

And just like that, the two were officially decided.

As for Jiang Lun, he was put in charge of the posters and all the menus for the shop. It was a big job, so Zhuo Zitao also told him to choose a partner. Jiang Lun was initially hesitant, but after seeing Lin Mo’s open display, he immediately chose Wu Qingqing.

Wu Qingqing thought that given Su Qixi’s celebrity status, she would be criticized by her senior if she refused, so she certainly had no right to decline.

Zhuo Zitao would handle the shop’s management with Qi Youhan and Yun Yue, while Qiu Mingyi went to order the various takeout supplies needed for the next day’s opening, such as coffee cups, bags, and straws.

Once the work was arranged, the film crew provided cars for those who were leaving. Lin Mo and Su Qixi walked back the same way they had come in the day before. At the same parking lot, guided by a staff member, they approached a small black car.

Their cameraman was still Zhou Ping, and cameras were already installed in the car to ensure a perfect presentation for both post-production editing and live streaming.

At this moment, the two stood in front of the car, motionless and silent.

The fans watching the screen were very curious.

[Why are they just standing there and not getting in the car?]

[Hurry up and go! We’re going to drink coffee tomorrow!]

[I want to taste Miss Pig’s handiwork.]

After a while, Su Qixi looked at Lin Mo and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Mo smiled. She turned to look at Su Qixi, her expression calm and confident, and asked in a casual tone, “Xiao Xi, have you gotten your driver’s license since you debuted?”

Su Qixi was puzzled but still nodded. “Yes, I passed on my first try.” Her tone was proud, as if waiting for a compliment.

Lin Mo hummed and, as expected, praised her, “That’s so impressive. You’re still as amazing as ever.”

Su Qixi let out a little laugh and lifted her head slightly.

Lin Mo handed her the car keys. “You drive.”

Her pride came to a screeching halt.

Su Qixi: “???”

[Hahahaha, Miss Pig, what are you doing!]

[Is that how you treat your wife?]

Since it was a live broadcast and everyone was working separately, the show had already enabled a viewing selection option. People could choose their favorite celebrity’s live stream to watch. The viewers who stayed in Su Qixi and Lin Mo’s live stream were either just good-natured fans, die-hard Su Qixi fans, or their CP fans.

The comment section had no other fans, and the CP fans were very fond of spamming, though thankfully there were still more solo fans. That one comment about a “wife” was quickly buried by other fans.

Su Qixi was also very shocked. She looked at Lin Mo and asked, “Why aren’t you driving?”

Lin Mo walked around the front of the car. Before getting into the passenger seat, she looked at Su Qixi and smiled, “Because I don’t have a driver’s license.”

It was such a matter-of-fact and perfectly sufficient reason.

[…]

Su Qixi: “…”

Zhou Ping was also very shocked. Lin Mo didn’t look like she didn’t have a license! Was she just teasing the movie star?

Su Qixi took a deep breath and got into the driver’s seat. Then, Lin Mo in the passenger seat and the viewers on screen watched as Su Qixi’s hand trembled a little when she pressed the ignition button, shifted into gear, and carefully stepped on the gas.

Whoosh. The car stayed put.

Su Qixi’s face flushed crimson. She looked down at the gear, and then quickly released the handbrake.

[…I have a bad feeling about this.]

Zhou Ping, sitting in the back, suddenly shifted uncomfortably. He wanted to say something, but since he was just a camera that couldn’t speak, he had to remain silent.

Fortunately, Miss Pig could still talk.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. She looked down at the handbrake that was now down, then looked up at Su Qixi and asked with a laugh, “Xiao Xi, are you sure you have a driver’s license?”

Su Qixi glared at her, saying, “Of course I do. Want to see my digital license?”

Lin Mo shook her head, holding back her laughter. She continued to ask softly, “How many times have you been on the road?”

Su Qixi: “…I, I always have a driver to take me around.”

Lin Mo looked puzzled, “So, you’ve never been on the road since you got your license?”

Su Qixi: “…Shut up, you’re a person who hasn’t even taken the driver’s test.”

Lin Mo burst out laughing, a clear and gentle sound that made Su Qixi’s ears turn red. She could only grit her teeth and try to remember what her instructor had said, determined to get even with Lin Mo.

This was a skill she had that Lin Mo didn’t!

Su Qixi became more focused. First, she put on the left turn signal, then gently stepped on the gas. The car moved, and Zhou Ping watched in horror as it nearly scraped the car next to them, holding his breath.

Thankfully, Su Qixi wasn’t lying when she said she passed on her first try. She safely drove the car out of the parking lot. In the camera’s view, Su Qixi looked serious and focused on the road ahead, occasionally checking her rearview mirror in a very convincing manner.

Lin Mo’s eyes also helped check the rearview mirror. She tried to comfort her, “Relax, Xiao Xi, you’re breathing too fast.”

Su Qixi: “Sh-shut up.”

Lin Mo calmly said, “Okay.”

Zhou Ping swallowed and quietly asked Lin Mo, “Miss Pig, aren’t you scared?”

Lin Mo helplessly replied, “My last name is Lin.”

Zhou Ping: “Oh, right, my bad, Miss Lin, you…”

Lin Mo: “You should relax, too. Life and death are fated; fortune is up to heaven.”

Zhou Ping: “…”

[Hahahahaha.]

[Spare a thought for the cameraman! Hahahahahahaha.]

[Miss Pig is so mean!!!]

[Darn you, you don’t even have a driver’s license, yet you’re making fun of our precious Suxu! If you can, you should drive!!!]

[Miss Pig, be careful or you won’t have a wife.]

[She’s going to have to kneel on a washboard tonight.]

Su Qixi naturally heard this. Her gaze didn’t leave the road, but her voice was a gritted-teeth, “Lin… Mo.”

Lin Mo looked outside the car and said, “You crossed the line.”

Su Qixi quickly craned her neck to look out the windshield. The car was indeed a bit crooked. Just as she was about to adjust, she heard Lin Mo say, “But it’s okay. This is a country road, so there aren’t many cars. Let’s stay in the middle, or we’ll fall into the field in a bit.”

Su Qixi froze. She turned to look at Lin Mo and scolded, “What are you talking about? My skills aren’t that bad. I passed on my first try.”

Lin Mo smiled and pointed ahead, “Look in front of you.”

Su Qixi quickly turned her head back. The car had veered off course, but thankfully there was no oncoming traffic. Su Qixi quickly adjusted the car while driving seriously, muttering, “I got a perfect 100 on my third test. I passed the straight line perfectly.”

Lin Mo said with a smile, “How amazing.”

Su Qixi didn’t know why, but she felt as if the voice was right next to her ear, making her blush. But she also felt that the praise was a bit perfunctory, which made her angry.

Zhou Ping: “…” The car was only going 40 km/h. It was a miracle Miss Pig could even say that.
