My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 40

“Lin Mo, are you looking for me?” Wu Qingqing was dressed in a very fresh style today, with a light green floral blouse and a white skirt. She looked just like the innocent female lead in a TV drama. She walked around the cake display and stood beside Lin Mo, naturally ignoring Jiang Lun on the other side.

Jiang Lun sighed, but he didn’t leave. Although Lin Mo was in the middle, it didn’t affect his gaze on Wu Qingqing.

When they were asked to be a fake couple for the TV drama, Jiang Lun was actually not very willing. But the two of them had good chemistry, and the behind-the-scenes clips had already attracted a wave of couple fans. Before the TV drama even aired, the supertopic “Unparalleled” was already created.

His manager kept persuading him, and Jiang Lun reluctantly agreed. Everything developed as expected, but the only things that were out of his control were his feelings for Wu Qingqing and his manager’s ungrateful behavior.

Wu Qingqing was a small celebrity who had just become popular, but she had a very strong sense of self-respect. Ever since her manager told her to stay away, she really did stay away.

Even if Jiang Lun explained that it wasn’t his doing, Wu Qingqing didn’t care. Jiang Lun felt that his journey to win her back was so unfair.

He said he came to this show for Wu Qingqing, and it wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

Although it was hard to win her back, he couldn’t just give up. Jiang Lun’s gaze on Wu Qingqing naturally made the “Unparalleled” fans on the live stream go crazy.

[Ah ah ah ah ah, Unparalleled is real.]

[Only the eyes can’t be faked. Jiang Lun really loves her.]

[These two are definitely not on a fake vacation.]

Lin Mo didn’t know what was happening in the live stream. She never really cared, but she was very happy to tease Jiang Lun. So she smiled faintly and invited Wu Qingqing, “My assistant left, so I need you to help me.”

Wu Qingqing paused. She turned her head and looked at the front of the store, where Su Qixi seemed to be saying something to Li Xinling.

A lightbulb suddenly went off in her head. Wu Qingqing realized what was going on, clapped her hands, and smiled at Lin Mo. “I get it, I’ll help you.”

Lin Mo: “???” What do you get?

Wu Qingqing raised an eyebrow, blinked, and looked like she understood everything.

Jiang Lun immediately tried to squeeze in, raising his hand and saying, “I can help too! Qingqing, I’ll help you.”

Wu Qingqing pushed him away and said casually, “Go away.”

Then she continued to stand beside Lin Mo, leaning in closer. She had a confident smile on her face and said, “Just follow my lead later. I have experience with this.”

Lin Mo: “???”

[Hahaha, Jiang Lun behind them is so funny.]

[He looks like a husky left in the wind.]

While Lin Mo was still confused, Wu Qingqing helped Lin Mo cut a piece of cake. Because the production team was now strictly controlling the number of people entering the store, the guests had more time for free activities. Now, even during working hours, they weren’t too busy to talk.

With more interactions and situations, the number of viewers had increased a lot in the past two days.

Su Qixi noticed when Wu Qingqing went to Lin Mo, but she didn’t pay too much attention. During their work hours, everyone had partnered with different guests.

But when she saw Wu Qingqing take out a piece of cake, she became curious and started paying attention to them.

Lin Mo was always in charge of the cake display. Lin Mo made the cakes herself, and she would cut them before the store opened. When customers needed a cake, she would move it onto a plate.

On the first day, they tried putting the cakes on plates beforehand, but it took up too much space.

After that, the director’s team changed the way people entered the store, and Lin Mo’s way of selling cakes also changed.

Selling cakes was actually easy work; all she had to do was plate them. But because Lin Mo made the cakes herself, Zhuo Zitao had always assigned Lin Mo to be in charge. But Lin Mo wasn’t a lazy person. She would usually walk around behind the counter during her free time to help out.

Wu Qingqing’s action of taking out the cake seemed a little strange to Su Qixi. Lin Mo wasn’t busy with other things, so why would she bother Wu Qingqing?

Before she could think any more, she saw Wu Qingqing happily lower her head, use a fork to cut a small piece of cake, and then put it in Lin Mo’s mouth.

Su Qixi: “???”

Jiang Lun: “???”

[Hahaha, Qingqing is too good.]

[I can tell that she’s making Su Su jealous!]

[Did it work?]

[Ah, Su Su is moving. It looks like it worked.]

At this moment, Lin Mo was also looking at Wu Qingqing with a confused expression.

Wu Qingqing blinked hard and said, “You should try it first.”

Lin Mo replied, “I already tried it this morning.”

Wu Qingqing said, “Oh, it’s fine. Just have another bite. I’ll feed you.”

Lin Mo was shocked. “You’re feeding me???”

Jiang Lun: “You’re feeding her!!!”

[Hahaha, both of them are so scared.]

[My Miss Piggy’s hair is standing up from the shock.]

“Sigh~” Wu Qingqing sighed and said to Lin Mo, “Quiet down. I told you I have experience with this. Just listen to me and eat it.”

Lin Mo finally realized that this person had misunderstood something! She thought that Lin Mo had asked her to come here to make Su Qixi jealous?

She was mistaken. Lin Mo had asked her to come here to make Jiang Lun jealous.

Oh right, she was so shocked by Wu Qingqing that she almost forgot about Jiang Lun.

Lin Mo pretended to lower her head to eat it, but just as she was about to, she heard Su Qixi’s cold voice suddenly come from the front counter, asking, “Did your hand break?”

Lin Mo was shocked. She instinctively took the fork from Wu Qingqing’s hand, ate the cake, and was able to turn back and say to Su Qixi with her mouth full, “No, it didn’t break.”

[Hahahaha]

[That smooth transition.]

Su Qixi looked at Lin Mo with the fork in her mouth, her heart aching with jealousy. She had finally gotten rid of Li Xinling, and now Wu Qingqing had come.

No, was there something wrong with Wu Qingqing? She liked Jiang Lun, so why was she sticking to Lin Mo?

Looking at Lin Mo’s innocent eyes, Su Qixi took a deep breath, suppressed her jealousy, and said, “Table 7 wants a Black Forest cake.”

Wu Qingqing, seeing that her plan had succeeded, smiled brightly, put the small piece of cake aside, and said to Su Qixi, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it. I’m here to help.”

With that, she expertly took out the cake, perfectly placed a small slice on a white plate, and added a small silver fork on the side.

Su Qixi suddenly felt very wronged. She turned her eyes to Lin Mo, and seeing that she had accepted Wu Qingqing’s actions, Su Qixi took the cake and glared at her!

Lin Mo: “???”

Wu Qingqing stood beside her and sighed, “See? How much she cares about you!”

Lin Mo: “…I feel like you’ve made things worse?”

Wu Qingqing was shocked. “How could that be? Look at how jealous she was just now…”

Lin Mo: “Don’t you think she’s more like she’s angry?”

Wu Qingqing was confused for a moment. She didn’t understand the difference. When someone is jealous, they get angry! And when they get angry, it means they’re jealous!

Lin Mo: “Maybe I’m overthinking it. I’ll talk to her after the live stream ends.”

[Ah ah ah ah ah, what are you two going to talk about? Where are you going to talk? I’ll book a room for you!!!]

[What’s there to talk about? Just sleep together!]

[Speaking of which, the jealousy test is proof now, right?]

[Wuwuwuwu, my “Unparalleled” couple is really real.]

Wu Qingqing was dejected. She picked up the cake and gave it back to Lin Mo, since Lin Mo had already eaten it.

“You… ah ah ah!”

Wu Qingqing had only said one word when she suddenly felt her foot slip. She then accidentally pressed the cake in her hand onto Lin Mo’s chest.

Lin Mo was wearing a loose dark red T-shirt with a few black letters on the chest. Although she was wearing an apron, the apron wasn’t a full-coverage one. The cake was pressed against her chest, almost completely on her clothes.

Wu Qingqing was quickly caught by Jiang Lun, who was behind her, but the scene was quiet for a moment. Wu Qingqing immediately started to cry and apologized, “I’m so sorry!!! I, I, I’ll wipe it for you.”

Lin Mo sighed and smiled wryly. “How can you wipe this clean? I’ll go change my clothes! Just watch the cake display for me.”

Wu Qingqing quickly nodded and said, “Go ahead! I’ll help you.”

Lin Mo nodded, then turned and went up the back stairs. Su Qixi was standing in the front, but she had seen everything.

Li Xinling immediately tried to stir up trouble. “See, see? She’s a player!”

Su Qixi stared at Lin Mo as she disappeared up the stairs, then said to Li Xinling, “She might be hurt. I’m going to go check on her.” She put the tray in her hand into Li Xinling’s and went upstairs as well.

Li Xinling: “???…No, she was just hit by a cake, not a brick!”

[Hahahaha, who understands? I have the same expression as Xing Xing right now.]

[Not only is Xing Xing confused, I am too!]

[Not only is Xing Xing confused, she’s also heartbroken! Her friend is a lovesick fool, hahaha.]

However, Su Qixi acted as if she didn’t hear Li Xinling’s shouts and quickly went upstairs.

Li Xinling sighed but quickly pulled herself together. She clenched her fist. “I must save her!”

Seeing Su Qixi disappear up the stairs with her lovesick mind, Li Xinling could only be angry at her for not trying harder and then worked hard.

Su Qixi went all the way to Lin Mo’s room, but the door was already closed. She stood in front of the door, hesitating, not knowing whether to knock or not.

Before ten seconds had passed, the door opened from the inside, and Lin Mo had already changed her clothes. She was wearing loose jeans, but she had changed into a tight white T-shirt. Compared to the loose dark red T-shirt, this one showed off Lin Mo’s figure more and looked better on her.

Seeing Su Qixi at the door, Lin Mo wasn’t surprised.

She reached out and pulled Su Qixi into the room, then quickly closed the door.

Su Qixi went in with her. As soon as the door closed, Lin Mo pinned her against it. Lin Mo pressed her forehead against hers. The two of them were extremely close, their breaths mingling in the confined space, wanting to greedily possess each other.

Su Qixi’s heart couldn’t help but start to race. Lin Mo wasn’t feeling any better. She asked Su Qixi in a hoarse voice, “What are you doing up here?”

Su Qixi blinked her big eyes, thinking to herself, “We already kissed yesterday, so why hold back?” She was not a Ninja Turtle!

With a blooming smile, Su Qixi reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Mo’s neck, pulling her down. Lin Mo lowered her head, and their lips quickly met.

Lin Mo was only stunned for a moment before she took the lead, lightly sucking on her lower lip and licking it.

The spot that was being pressed hard tingled with a wave of numbness. Su Qixi moaned softly and held on tighter. She felt Lin Mo’s breathing also become rapid. She felt her hand press against the back of her head, gently holding it but also forcefully preventing her from pulling back. The hand on her lower back was also using force, pressing her tightly into her arms.

The close physical contact and the transferred warmth revealed a sense of urgency and a desire to merge with each other. It was as if, if they pushed any harder, they would both lose control.

Su Qixi was also satisfied with her success in easily teasing Lin Mo. This showed that she was definitely different in Lin Mo’s heart.

On the verge of losing control, Lin Mo stopped in time. Su Qixi wasn’t angry. She rested her head on Lin Mo’s chest, her hands gently wrapped around Lin Mo’s waist, listening to her heart beating out of control and feeling her lean and powerful waist under her hands.

Su Qixi grumbled unhappily, “I’m angry that you’re so irresponsible.”

Lin Mo was stunned and said, “Huh?”

Su Qixi reached out and pinched Lin Mo’s waist hard, asking, “Were you going to eat the cake that Qingqing was feeding you?”

Lin Mo, of course, was stubborn. “How could that be?”

Su Qixi didn’t expect her to have such a shameless side. She laughed out of anger. “I saw it.”

Lin Mo then held back her smile and said, “Since you saw it, you should know that I was also jealous. You and Li Xinling are too close. I’m so sour. Jiang Lun even said I smelled sour, but you ignored me.”

Su Qixi’s heart, which had just calmed down, started to race again, thumping loudly.

“But…” Lin Mo changed the subject. “Seeing you get jealous for me, I feel like I’m okay again? The way you came over and scolded me just now made me feel at ease.”

Su Qixi was very shy, but she was happy inside, so she just giggled with her head down.

So, Lin Mo also had moments of insecurity! Su Qixi thought, holding her face in her hands. So, when you like someone, you’re always this afraid of losing them? Then she must really like me! Lin Mo likes me just as much as I like her. I’m not losing out! They always said I was losing out, but now it seems that we’re both the same!

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She pounced into Lin Mo’s arms, hugging her tightly. But Lin Mo knew that they couldn’t stay in the room for too long.

Su Qixi had come up so quickly that she definitely hadn’t avoided everyone’s eyes. But Lin Mo hadn’t expected Su Qixi to have found such a half-hearted excuse.

“You should go down first!” Lin Mo said apologetically. “I shouldn’t have pulled you in here, but the live stream is on downstairs, so they probably won’t notice us. But everyone saw you come up, so it’ll be hard to explain if you stay for too long. You go down first, and I’ll be down in a bit.”

Su Qixi frowned. “What are you scared of? We’re a real couple, not a fake one.”

Lin Mo’s eyes curved, and they sparkled. She asked with a smile, “What, are you trying to make our relationship official now?”

Su Qixi paused, thinking that she had already kissed her, so she didn’t want to make their relationship official? What a jerk!!!

In a huff, Su Qixi hit her, as proud as ever. “Dream on. You’re the one pursuing me. If you don’t give me a perfect confession ceremony, we’re not done.”

Now it was Lin Mo’s turn to be confused. “A ceremony? Isn’t that for a proposal?”

Su Qixi made a face at her, turned around, opened the door, and left.

Lin Mo sighed. It seemed that she really needed to prepare a ceremony.

She took out her phone, looked at a message, and immediately put away her smile and sighed again. After coaxing one person, she had to coax another.

The message was from Xiong Jingjing. She said sarcastically, [Didn’t you say you could control yourself?]

Lin Mo replied self-righteously, [I did control myself! I was probably very calm on camera, right? And I didn’t kiss her in front of the camera!]

Xiong Jingjing was so angry. [You call using someone else to make her jealous controlling yourself? You’ve been upstairs for so long and still haven’t let her come down. You call that controlling yourself?]

Lin Mo: […You’re right. I have no rebuttal.]

Xiong Jingjing was even angrier. [Why don’t you have a rebuttal!!!] Not having a rebuttal made her even angrier.

When Su Qixi came downstairs, she found that the customers in the front were all looking at her. But she thought that a lot of them were couple fans, so it was normal for them to pay attention to her.

She hadn’t even gotten halfway when Wu Qingqing pulled her to the side and whispered, “Your hair is a mess. Fix it.”

[Qingqing, don’t tell her!]

[It looks like the two of them rolled around in bed.]

[No, impossible. They can’t be that fast~~~~]

“Huh? Really?” After hearing what Wu Qingqing said, Su Qixi panicked a little and quickly reached up to fix her hair. Lin Mo’s hand on the back of her head had messed it up when they were kissing. Su Qixi couldn’t help but smile as she fixed it.

Wu Qingqing saw it and asked her softly, “Did you two make up?”

Su Qixi thought about how Lin Mo didn’t want to take responsibility, and she said sarcastically, “Making up is impossible!”

Could it be that I really messed up?

Wu Qingqing quickly put her hands together and bowed her head to apologize. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have tried to make you jealous. Don’t be angry!”

Su Qixi smiled. “I’m not angry with you. How could I not see through your little tricks!” To be honest, everyone was in the entertainment industry. They had all spent a lot of time in other production teams, if not this one.

They must have seen this kind of little green tea trick at least 6 times, if not 10?

Su Qixi waved her hand. “It has nothing to do with you. I know you’re just playing. I’m not mad at you.”

Wu Qingqing was relieved, but before she could catch her breath, she heard the second half of Su Qixi’s sentence. “I’m mad at her! That player!!!”

She said it through gritted teeth.

[Alright, Su Su’s kiss confirms that Miss Piggy is a player.]

[Hahahaha, calling her a player with so much love is too cute!]

Wu Qingqing covered her face and ran away. “I must have messed up!!!” After getting jealous, shouldn’t they realize how important the other person is to them and then make up?

Their relationship had gotten worse instead. It must have been her fault! I’m so stupid!!!

Jiang Lun saw her run away, and his eyes darted around. He followed closely behind, shouting, “Qingqing, Qingqing~~~” Yes, time for a lazy date!

Lin Mo came downstairs, looking confused as she watched the two of them run past her. She wondered, “What are these two huskies doing?”

When Su Qixi saw her come down, she snorted, lifted her head, and left proudly.

Lin Mo: “…”

Su Qixi returned to Li Xinling. Li Xinling saw her and tried to reach out and pull her. “See? She made you angry, didn’t she? You still need your best friend.”

“Don’t touch me!” Su Qixi carefully dodged Li Xinling’s hand that was reaching for her. She said, “Be careful, she might misunderstand.”

Li Xinling: “…” I’ll just have a duel with her this afternoon!
