My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 27

Feng Ye might not have been a decent person, but Su Qixi still was.

Su Qixi pushed Lin Mo away, and fortunately, Lin Mo was agile and didn’t fall flat on her face in front of the live camera.

However, Feng Ye’s move had caught even Lin Mo a little off guard.

In her heart, although Lin Mo wanted to provoke Su Qixi to prevent her from becoming numb to the world, it would be a lie to say that she had no selfish motives.

But no matter what, Lin Mo hadn’t intended to act so brazenly in front of the camera.

Su Qixi’s mortification wasn’t because of the hug itself, but because she was naturally very shy. Even after many years in the industry, some traits were simply ingrained in her soul.

Before Lin Mo, she never had any personal feelings for anyone else. So, even when filming dramas or shows, physical contact was inevitable, but it never elicited much of a reaction from Su Qixi.

Because of this, she had ended several CPs and was even called “aloof” by fans.

But when she truly fell for someone, Su Qixi couldn’t stay calm. When no one was around, it took great willpower to stay still. But to hug her loved one in front of thousands of people? It was mortifying!

Su Qixi glared at Lin Mo with a flushed face and then rushed into the kitchen.

Lin Mo: “…It’s not my fault, is it? Director Feng…”

The loudspeaker interrupted her in a timely manner: “Don’t shift the blame. You’re the one who hugged her, not me.”

Lin Mo was speechless: “…”

[Well said, Director Feng.]

[Exactly, Director Feng just turned on the live stream.]

[Hahaha, it’s rare to see Miss Pig get stumped.]

[It’s only been one day since the broadcast started, but my impression of Miss Pig is that she’s so calculating.]

[Hahaha, too bad she ran into Director Feng, who doesn’t play by the rules.]

Lin Mo glanced at Su Qixi in the kitchen, then walked in, asking, “I’m making cakes. Do you want to help me?”

[What a move!]

[Is she going to trick the film queen into it just like that?]

The kitchen at Ink Guest House wasn’t a separate room, but an open-plan kitchen like in a normal home.

Since it was a small business that rarely had guests, the kitchen was mostly for private use. The design was more like a home kitchen from the start.

Against the wall, there was a series of kitchenware and seasonings. A large island stood in the middle, and with all the various baking tools, it was clear that the owner loved making desserts.

At this moment, some square cake molds were on the island. Inside were the baked cherry almond cakes that Lin Mo had made, and next to them were some fresh cherries, the leftovers.

Su Qixi stood by the island, pacing back and forth three times. Her mind, which had short-circuited from the hug, hadn’t recovered yet, and the sudden live broadcast had struck her a blow. At this moment, her mind was still blankly searching for a signal.

Lin Mo entered the kitchen. Seeing her lost in thought, she asked with a chuckle, “Are you hungry?”

Su Qixi quickly shook her head. Lin Mo still picked up a freshly baked cherry almond cake for her and said, “Have one to fill your stomach?”

[Ahhhhh, that’s for us to buy.]

[She’s using it to bribe her wife.]

[Wake up, this is our cake!!! Are you not going to make money anymore?]

Su Qixi finally found a bit of a signal and cleared her head a little. She frowned at the cake in front of her.

Xiong Jingjing’s angry roar was still echoing in her ears. She could only turn her head away in disgust. “High calories, no thanks.”

Although the cake looked very delicious, Su Qixi felt that she was a veteran of the entertainment industry. How could she not resist this small temptation?

Besides, she hadn’t fully reconciled with Lin Mo. Why should she eat it just because Lin Mo told her to?

Her solid, ice-cold heart hadn’t been warmed up by her yet!

Lin Mo chuckled. In the past, Su Qixi was so small and thin, suffering from severe malnutrition and anemia. Later, Lin Mo slowly nursed her back to health, and she ate a lot of high-calorie foods. Because of this, Lin Mo had learned cooking and dessert making. It could be said that Su Qixi was partly responsible for her current achievements.

Forget high calories, even when Lin Mo was an apprentice, Su Qixi would always praise her many failed attempts.

[It must be tiring to be a celebrity. You have to control your weight.]

[Because you look a little fatter on camera than in real life.]

The viewers also showed understanding. After all, celebrities had to manage their weight very strictly. This was something anyone who paid attention to the entertainment industry knew.

“Just a little bit?” Lin Mo still asked. She even unmolded a cake herself and sliced a piece to place on a plate.

On the round, white plate, there was only a small piece of cherry almond cake. A small, shiny silver stainless steel fork was placed beside it. The fork was so clean and bright it was like a mirror.

The hand holding the edge of the plate was slender and fair. Her nails were neatly trimmed along the arc, and the nail beds had a soft pearlescent sheen.

Su Qixi realized she was observing too closely. Fearing she might be caught, she secretly looked up at the owner of the hand.

She saw that Lin Mo was looking at her from the side, and she pushed the plate forward again. Her eyes were like two pools of clear water, or like cold stars in the sky.

Lin Mo’s attraction to Su Qixi was already strong. Looking at her so intently, it was only through her strong self-control that Su Qixi turned her head away and didn’t fall for it.

Lin Mo smiled slightly, her low voice coaxing her. “No one has eaten this since it came out of the oven. I want you to help me taste it, Xiao Xi.”

“Can you help me?”

She’s asking me to help her! o(╥﹏╥)o

But Su Qixi also thought, this person left for eight years and came back with reasons like “going fishing” and “leaving the planet.”

Is that a reason a person can come up with?

Eight years!

Of course, Su Qixi had never considered the possibility that Xiong Jingjing had mentioned.

Besides, it had been two days, and Lin Mo hadn’t even mentioned the debt.

Sister Xiong really doesn’t understand my Lin Mo!!!

No, what am I thinking? This is not the time to find excuses for her!

“Xiao Xi~” Lin Mo’s voice softened again.

[Our Su Su doesn’t eat cake.]

[Yeah, Su Su said in an interview before that she doesn’t like cake.]

[Yes, Su Su doesn’t like cake, and it’s not because of a diet. She just doesn’t like cake. She’s said it many times.]

On the screen, Su Qixi’s trembling hand reached out and took the cake from Lin Mo.

[…]

[She’s just being polite to a classmate.]

[Yeah, even if she doesn’t like it, she’ll still politely accept it.]

Su Qixi looked at Lin Mo. Lin Mo smiled at her again and coaxed her, “Have a bite.”

Su Qixi lowered her head, picked up the small piece of cake, and ate it with a look of disgust.

The crust was crispy, but the inside was soft and delicate. Because of the cherries, there was a sweet fruity flavor. Su Qixi’s expression slowly brightened, and the stars in her eyes sparkled.

“I used to make this cake for you. Do you remember? Does it still taste the same?” Lin Mo leaned against the island, looking down at her slightly. Seeing her happy expression, Lin Mo’s lips also curled into a happy smile.

Passersby: [That doesn’t look like a polite gesture!]

[I think Film Queen Su is eating it quite happily.]

[Her eyes are sparkling. Saying she doesn’t like cake was just to fool her fans, right?]

Soda Pop: […] Sister!

But the Kirin fans were very happy: [Sweetness +1]

[+10086]

[I’m going to die from all this sweetness.]

After Su Qixi finished the cake, Lin Mo was still looking at her with a smile. Just like before, Su Qixi looked up at her, her voice soft and bright. “I want more.”

Lin Mo turned around and got her another plate. The moment Su Qixi took the cake, she suddenly remembered her persona of not eating cake.

It wasn’t a persona, but she had been so sad back then that she didn’t want to eat cake anymore.

So now… Su Qixi suddenly short-circuited again.

Lin Mo was confused. “Are you in a sugar daze?”

Su Qixi’s fingers on the plate tightened slightly, her nails turning white from the pressure. She forcefully told Lin Mo, “…I don’t like to eat cake.”

Lin Mo recalled that she was still very fond of cake before she left, so she naturally asked, “You haven’t eaten it since I left?”

[???]

[Based on the timeline, it seems to match up?]

Su Qixi lowered her head. “…Don’t talk nonsense.”

Lin Mo: “…”

But it was too late. The comments went wild again.

[Ahhhhh, is that why she doesn’t like to eat cake?]

[Saying ‘don’t talk nonsense’ means it’s the truth.]

[This is too good to ship!]

[This is love, right?]

Other fans: [Did you notice how fast the Kirin fans are spamming the comments?]

[I snuck a peek yesterday, they gained 100,000 fans in one day. I’m so jealous.]

[Damn it, the Kirin fans have a party every day. I’ve dug three feet for my ship’s sugar and still haven’t found any. I’m about to climb over the wall. The rival CP is so much better! Wuwuwu.]

Lin Mo was choked by Su Qixi’s words, but she still asked, “Then are you still going to eat this cake?”

Su Qixi nodded. “Yes.” She added, “Me eating it doesn’t mean I like to eat it.”

Lin Mo thought about the logic and found it a bit contradictory. She was too lazy to pursue it, but she still smiled and flicked her forehead. “That’s a fallacy.”

Su Qixi covered the spot where she was flicked, her eyes wide with a look of innocence.

Lin Mo smiled and shook her head, then ignored her and turned to start making the Black Forest cake.

Su Qixi didn’t leave. She stood by her side, eating her cake and stealing glances at Lin Mo while she worked.

Lin Mo was always very serious about her work. That kind of focus and dedication made her exceptionally attractive.

When she was doing her homework at school, she would always exude this fatal magnetism. It attracted men and women who had ulterior motives for her, and of course, that included herself.

At that time, she would secretly look at her, never getting enough. Even when Lin Mo caught her, she would just smile helplessly and tell her to pay attention in class.

Now she could openly look at her. You’ve done well, Qixi! Su Qixi clenched her fist!

Then she continued to look openly. What a beautiful profile! Her hands are so beautiful too! Why is she so beautiful? Her whole body is glowing. I want to kiss her.

Lin Mo made some chocolate shavings and decorated the cake with them.

Noticing how quiet it was beside her, she looked over to the side. She saw that Su Qixi’s cheeks were flushed. Lin Mo’s hands paused in their motion, and she couldn’t help but ask, “What are you thinking about? Your face is all red.”

“Ah?” Su Qixi was startled back to reality. She yelled, “I’m not thinking about anything!!! Don’t slander me.” Then she turned and ran off.

Lin Mo: “…”

[…What was she thinking about?]

[I’m curious too.]

[Curious +1]

[Her face was so red. She definitely wasn’t thinking about anything proper. Hehe…]

[She was staring at Miss Pig in a daze. It must be related to Miss Pig. Hehe…]

[Kirin CP fans are so happy. They can find sugar everywhere.]

[It’s so unfair. They have so much sugar they can pick it up anywhere. I’ve dug three feet for my ship’s sugar and still haven’t found any. Wuwuwu.]

Soda Pop: [You CP fans, my Su Su is a decent person!!!]

[Soda Pop, give up! Didn’t you just say she doesn’t like cake? The facts just slapped you in the face.]

Soda Pop: [My Su Su just said she doesn’t like cake!!!]

[Yes, your Su Su’s mouth is very stubborn, but her body is very honest.]

[She ate three pieces!!!]

Soda Pop: […]

When Qi Yushan came back after helping Jiang Lun put up the whiteboard, she saw Su Qixi squatting by the flower bed in the yard, covering her head. She was shaking her head and muttering.

“I didn’t think about anything. Stop it!!!”

Qi Yushan walked over curiously and asked, “Sister Su, what are you doing?”

Su Qixi said miserably, “Reciting Buddhist scriptures.”

Qi Yushan: “Huh???”

Oh no, did we break the film queen?

[Hahahahahaha]

[Hahahahahaha]

[Hahahahahaha]

[Is Soda Pop not making any noise anymore? Soda Pop, where are you?]

[Are the career Soda Pop and the looks Soda Pop all silent? Why? Why is that?]

Soda Pop: […Get lost!
