My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 41

When Qiu Mingyi was preparing lunch, Lin Mo helped make coffee. The number of cakes was limited, and they were usually sold out before noon.

Although Jiang Lun wanted to secretly go on a date with Wu Qingqing, unfortunately, Wu Qingqing was a very principled girl. She not only came back by herself but also brought Jiang Lun back.

By 1 p.m., the things in the store were slowly selling out, and they started closing up. The guests also slowly left under the arrangement of the production team. Qiu Mingyi had prepared lunch and was calling everyone to take a seat.

Lin Mo was a little late because she was tidying up the last few things.

When she got there, she found that the dining table was a little quiet. Everyone was secretly glancing at her from the corners of their eyes. Lin Mo looked at the seats around the table and understood.

As mentioned before, ever since the show started, everyone had gotten into the habit of partnering with the person they were most familiar with.

As a result, later on, when they went out to get supplies, cleaned the store, cooked, or even ate, everyone would subconsciously sit with their most familiar partner.

Ever since the show started, Lin Mo and Su Qixi had always been sitting next to each other.

Everyone had also accepted this seating arrangement, but now there was a new person. Li Xinling’s arrival in the morning broke the balance of two people per group.

Originally, there were 8 people in the group, but now there were 9, so one person would definitely not have a partner.

Li Xinling had already told Lin Mo that she was here to pursue Su Qixi. Regardless of whether the pursuit was real or fake, destroying the relationship between Lin Mo and Su Qixi was definitely not fake. Therefore, she very naturally took Lin Mo’s seat.

Lin Mo remembered Xiong Jingjing’s warning this morning, repeatedly telling her to keep her distance from Su Qixi.

Lin Mo could only silently accept it. After all, the relationship between her and Su Qixi was only a paper-thin distance away from being broken. It was too easy to break through.

So, she found an empty seat and was about to sit down when Yun Yue, who was on the other side of Su Qixi, suddenly spoke. “How about you sit here?”

Lin Mo shook her head. “No need.”

Su Qixi frowned, looking unhappy, but she didn’t say anything.

Qiu Mingyi’s lunch today was quite simple. Because they had to work during the day, most people didn’t have a lot of energy at noon. But looking at the large pot of spaghetti on the table, Lin Mo smiled faintly. “I remember Senior Qiu saying that he hated spaghetti the most?”

Qiu Mingyi sighed. “It’s good enough that we have something to eat. Don’t be so picky.”

Lin Mo chuckled. “That’s right, that’s right. Senior, you’ve worked hard.”

Qiu Mingyi chuckled, then secretly glanced at Zhuo Zitao.

On the other side, Li Xinling got up to serve Su Qixi noodles, muttering, “Xixi! Eat more. You’ve gotten so thin. You must be too tired recently.” With that, she put a large bowl of noodles in front of Su Qixi.

Then she looked at Lin Mo provocatively and smiled triumphantly.

Lin Mo smiled faintly. She wasn’t angry and was very polite.

In the morning, she was a little jealous of Li Xinling, but Su Qixi had indeed made her feel at ease. Besides, Lin Mo knew that Li Xinling and Su Qixi were good friends.

After calming herself down, Lin Mo no longer felt the need to fight back against Li Xinling’s childish tactics.

Seeing that Lin Mo wasn’t angry, Li Xinling got angry. She whispered to Su Qixi, “Look at her. She doesn’t care about you at all. If she did, she would be angry right now.”

Su Qixi replied, “She was angry this morning.”

Li Xinling was shocked. “She doesn’t even trust you. What’s the point of a relationship that’s not stable?”

Su Qixi: “…” At this moment, she suddenly understood what Lin Mo’s hesitant expression meant when she was being unreasonable with her.

Li Xinling: “Why aren’t you saying anything? You have nothing to say, right? Do you know how worried I was when I heard you had become lovesick after I left the set?”

Su Qixi sighed, pushed the noodles in front of Li Xinling, and said, “Why don’t you just eat your noodles?”

Li Xinling was shocked again. “Are you calling me a nag? Do you know what my nickname is online? The sexiest actress!”

Li Xinling’s tight cheongsam indeed showed off her well-proportioned body. Her beautiful and alluring face, even when she did nothing, could make people feel an irresistible desire.

Because of her looks and figure, Li Xinling’s life was not easy when she first debuted.

The online reviews of her were not good, and most people who approached her had ulterior motives. The people who were friends with her were also worried that she would steal their boyfriends.

Su Qixi was her first friend after she entered the industry. Li Xinling was already very desperate back then, but she couldn’t help but ask Su Qixi, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll seduce your boyfriend or girlfriend?”

Su Qixi laughed at the time. “What kind of girlfriend can be seduced? If my girlfriend is here, she can only see me.” At that time, Su Qixi’s lovesick tendencies were already showing.

However, Li Xinling thought Su Qixi was just comforting her and was very touched. In order to get rid of this label, Li Xinling also resolutely gave up the popular idol scripts at the time and started to focus on the action star route.

Even when she started with small roles, she worked very hard. When she fell from the wire, she didn’t regret it. It was Su Qixi’s warmth of giving money and effort that made her swear to repay her well in the future.

In this life, if you can have a true friend, you will have no regrets.

Therefore, after hearing about Lin Mo from Xiong Jingjing, Li Xinling’s analysis based on her years of experience was that Lin Mo had some ulterior motives. Su Qixi seemed to be completely immersed in it, so Li Xinling was naturally worried.

In today’s society, “lovesick” is already a derogatory term among derogatory terms, especially the keywords “friend” and “lovesick.” It’s like a complete set of buffs.

Of course, Li Xinling had more friends than just Su Qixi now. When her friends heard that Li Xinling was giving up a rare script to join the variety show for Su Qixi, they all tried to persuade her. Many of them even said bluntly that she should stay away from friends who were lovesick.

Li Xinling sneered. She and Su Qixi were friends. When she needed help, Su Qixi didn’t back down. When Su Qixi needed help, she would naturally go all out. If the other person was not a good person, she would do her best to stop them. If she couldn’t stop them, she would be there to support Su Qixi.

No matter what, she would never give up on Su Qixi just because she liked someone.

Li Xinling thought of these things, and then looked at Su Qixi’s disgust for her right now… she was still heartbroken.

She dislikes me o(╥﹏╥)o

Lin Mo chuckled. Li Xinling already didn’t have a good impression of Lin Mo. When she heard Lin Mo laugh, she immediately questioned her. “Are you laughing at me?” This couple was too hateful!!!

Lin Mo quickly waved her hand. “I wouldn’t dare. I just think your dynamic…” She seemed to be thinking about how to describe the two of them without making them angry. She looked at Jiang Lun and Qi You Shan across the table, who were both winking at her. Lin Mo quickly thought of a good word. “It’s cute. Your dynamic is very cute.”

Li Xinling: “…You’re the one who’s cute.” Your whole family is cute.

[Hahahaha, good, Miss Piggy is trying her best to please her.]

[Unfortunately, Xing Xing is a block of wood.]

[Su Su is already rolling her eyes in a speechless manner.]

After Li Xinling sat down, Su Qixi leaned in and whispered to her, “See? She’s very gentle, right?” Su Qixi wasn’t angry about Li Xinling interfering with her love life. In fact, Su Qixi understood everyone’s worries and also knew that they were willing to take the risk of offending her to interfere, which was more out of love for her.

Therefore, Su Qixi’s choice was the same as Lin Mo’s. She wanted to be blessed by the people close to her. She no longer had a family, and these people who had helped her in her time of need were very important friends in her life.

Li Xinling suddenly understood and cursed, “…So, that’s her goal.” No wonder she was so polite and proper with her. She was just putting on a show for Xixi. What a clever tactic.

Su Qixi’s expression was blank for a moment. Finally, she blurted out, “You’re so stubborn!”

“Hahahahahaha”

“Hahahahahahahaha”

“Senior Su is so desperate, so desperate, hahahahahaha”

[Hahaha, even though I didn’t hear what she said just now, this line is so funny.]

[Su Su’s expression is about to shatter.]

Whether it was the live stream or the people at the dining table, everyone was laughing. Even Lin Mo couldn’t help but purse her lips to hold back her laughter.

Li Xinling looked around at everyone in a daze, looking very innocent.

After lunch, the ever-silent iPad on the table beeped.

Zhuo Zitao reached for it, muttering, “I almost forgot about this iPad.”

Qi You Shan: “I almost forgot that this show has tasks.”

Wu Qingqing: “Sigh, yeah! I thought this was a slow-paced variety show.”

Zhuo Zitao opened the iPad and glanced at it, then was speechless. Everyone, seeing that she didn’t read it out like before, asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Zhuo Zitao laughed and handed the iPad to Lin Mo. “You read it!”

Lin Mo’s new seat was close to Zhuo Zitao. She took it and started to read, “This morning, I heard the new guest say that she wanted a duel…”

When she read this, Lin Mo also paused. No way?

But she continued to read, “The director’s team discussed it and decided that the new guest’s wish must be fulfilled. Therefore, we have decided to hold a duel competition this afternoon.”

Everyone looked listless, propping their chins up. They didn’t even want to clean up the bowls and plates in front of them, let alone compete.

Jiang Lun was even more indifferent. “If I win, I win. If I lose, I lose. I won’t give the production team a chance to control me.”

Lin Mo reached out and swiped the current screen away, and sure enough, she saw a reward on the next page. She raised an eyebrow. Unlike winning and being punished by Feng Ye before, this was a real reward.

She continued to read with a smile. “As a reward for the champion, you can choose one guest as your date. You can go on a date with the chosen person for the entire next day, and all expenses will be covered by the production team.”

Jiang Lun stood up. “But I have a strong desire to win. I’m sorry.”

Qiu Mingyi also clenched his fists and rubbed his hands together. “Easy, easy.”

Li Xinling’s ambition was also ignited. “I came at the right time. Xixi, don’t worry, I’ll definitely win.”

Su Qixi: “…” It’s okay if you lose.

Feng Ye appeared at the right time. Seeing that everyone’s fighting spirit was ignited, he smiled with satisfaction and said, “I’m very happy that everyone is actively participating. Our staff have already set up a stage in the backyard. Please follow me.”

Everyone stood up and went to the backyard. As soon as Lin Mo stood up, she saw Li Xinling already standing in front of Su Qixi, putting a red line between her and Su Qixi. Then, she smiled triumphantly at her and said provocatively, “Miss Piggy, I’m sorry! I’m Xixi’s good friend. She definitely wants to walk with me more.”

Su Qixi: “…” For the sake of appearances, Su Qixi couldn’t say that she disliked it.

Lin Mo nodded and said with a smile, “That’s to be expected.”

Su Qixi glared at her, muttered, and followed Li Xinling.

When they got to the backyard, they realized that the so-called stage was just an inflatable balloon surrounded by a fence. But it could prevent the guests from getting hurt, so no one had any objections.

Feng Ye took out a card and said, “The competition will be a two-on-two match. The final winner will be the champion. Now I’ll announce the list of matches. Since everyone likes the original pairings so much, this time, the original partners will be the first opponents. That is, the first match will be Jiang Lun-Wu Qingqing, Qiu Mingyi-Zhuo Zitao, Qi You Shan-Yun Yue, and Lin Mo-Su Qixi. These four groups will have the first round of matches…”

The scene became eerily quiet…

[Hahahahaha, how cruel.]

[I want to watch. Bring it on.]

[Now we’ll see if they choose love or a date.]

Feng Ye didn’t know what kind of outrageous things he had said. He even looked at Li Xinling with a benevolent face and said, “As a new guest, you naturally get a bye. Do you all think my arrangement is very reasonable?”

Qiu Mingyi: “…Director Feng, do you want to reconsider if what you’re saying is even human?”

Feng Ye continued to be benevolent. “I am a Buddhist. How can I not do human things?”

His voice was full of Buddhist light, but it didn’t stop him from urging them on. “Come on, come on, who’s first?”

[Hahahaha, I want to see Miss Piggy and Su Su go. Hurry up, hurry up.]

[Senior Qiu, go! You were the first to speak. It doesn’t make sense if you don’t go first.]

[The cub’s persona is that she’s a powerhouse. It wouldn’t make sense for her to lose to the moon!]

[Hahaha, the one upstairs is so mean! The moon already hates her so much. How can she dare to win against the moon?]

[Come on, come on, place your bets!]

Unlike the excitement in the live stream, the scene was still eerily quiet.

Especially the few couples, who all had a numb expression. Qiu Mingyi and Jiang Lun both wanted to try and talk to their partners, but Zhuo Zitao and Wu Qingqing both chose to ignore them.

The couple Qi You Shan and Yun Yue were a little calmer. Qi You Shan was also secretly asking Yun Yue, “Do you want to be lazy tomorrow?”

Lin Mo felt that she was the one who was in the most trouble because Su Qixi wasn’t by her side, so she had no room to negotiate. She could only take it one step at a time.

“So, who wants to go first?” Feng Ye felt that his voice was very gentle, but in reality, he was very gloating, so his voice sounded a little mean, but he didn’t know it.

Qiu Mingyi gritted his teeth. “I’m an old man, so I’ll observe first. Hey? How about we let Lin Mo go first! She’s a newcomer, so we should be polite to her.”

Jiang Lun nodded. “That’s right! We’re all senior celebrities in the entertainment industry. How can we fight for it with her?”

Even Qi You Shan said, “Ever since the show started, she’s been doing the most work. We definitely can’t steal her thunder.”

Lin Mo was speechless. She looked at the three of them and said with a fake smile, “I can feel that your hearts of gratitude are real, but your actions of pushing me forward are also very quick!”

The three of them put their hands together at the same time and begged her!

They didn’t push Lin Mo out because she was young, new, and hardworking!

It was because this person was too good at handling things! Look at how she’s won over Su Qixi. She has her completely wrapped around her finger.

A person doesn’t become lovesick just because they have a lovesick brain. The other person’s tactics are also the key.

At this moment, Qiu Mingyi and the others were all in a state of not knowing whether to win or not. They desperately needed a guiding star to learn from!

Feng Ye looked at Lin Mo, very interested. “How about it? Do you want to go first?”

Lin Mo’s eyes drifted to the few people. They all lowered their heads and begged her.

Please please please!!!

[Hahahaha]

[I’m dying from laughing at these people.]

[After all, it’s hard to win back your wife!]

[I’m even starting to ship Senior Qiu’s couple now.]

[So the ultimate goal of this show is to win back your wife?]

Lin Mo sighed, stood up, and asked Feng Ye, “What’s the competition? Just fighting?”

“Martial arts!” Feng Ye chuckled. “The venue is right there. As long as it’s a martial art, we don’t have any restrictions. The winner will advance to the next round.”

Lin Mo sighed again and looked at Su Qixi, who had also stood up. Lin Mo also felt very conflicted!

“When I signed the contract, it said I was here to run a store. It didn’t say I had to fight people!” Lin Mo walked into the center of the arena, looking very speechless.

Feng Ye chuckled. “You can choose to surrender!”

Lin Mo sighed again, but she also really wanted to be lazy and go on a date with Xixi. And this date would be in broad daylight. Xiong Jingjing wouldn’t be able to find any fault with it!

Su Qixi on the other side had also taken her position and started to warm up.

Then, she struck a pose and said loudly, “You don’t have to go easy on me.”

Lin Mo: “…” Is she telling me to win, or is she just overly confident?

Before she could think any more, Su Qixi on the other side started to “Hoo, ha” and came at her with punches and kicks.

Lin Mo: “…” No, she’s too cute!
