My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 50

The mornings in Xia Hong Town were always peaceful and elegant. Perhaps it was because it was far from the hustle and bustle of the city, which gave it a sense of tranquility.

Therefore, when the sun broke through the fog and wisps of smoke rose from the roofs of the village, people would also feel a sense of clarity and peace.

On this particular morning, the guests were sleeping very soundly.

The gentle morning light fell into the room through the thin gauze curtains, a ray at a time. But it only made these people turn over and avoid the dazzling light.

The cool breeze of early autumn blew away the gauze curtains, bringing a hint of coolness to the stuffy room.

Su Qixi, who was in a deep sleep, couldn’t help but turn over. She vaguely heard a bird chirping and flying by the window. The cool autumn wind landed on her exposed calf. Su Qixi frowned and turned over again, wrapping herself in the blanket.

It was already November, and the daytime temperature had generally stayed around 25 degrees Celsius. In the early morning and at night, an extra layer of clothing was needed to keep warm. The air-conditioned blanket from summer was a bit thin for the current mornings.

The alarm clock rang at 7:30 a.m., sounding especially clear in the quiet room. Su Qixi woke up groggily.

She felt a little sore all over and knew it was probably because she hadn’t exercised for a long time and was tired from running yesterday.

Yawning, Su Qixi did a few stretches on the bed and then sat up in a good mood. Although her body was still a little uncomfortable from the intense exercise yesterday, none of that mattered. She checked the time. It was 7:40 a.m. Hmm, it seemed she had subconsciously turned off the first alarm.

Su Qixi giggled. If it were Lin Mo, she definitely wouldn’t have done that. She was always very disciplined. Thinking of Lin Mo, Su Qixi’s mood got even better. The relationship between her and Lin Mo was progressing by leaps and bounds. It felt like it wouldn’t be long before Lin Mo would fall for her!

If only Xiong Jingjing hadn’t interfered. If she hadn’t, they would have probably already confirmed their relationship, right?

Su Qixi’s mind started to wander as soon as she woke up, but it didn’t affect her changing her clothes and washing up. She was even able to put on a beautiful makeup while thinking.

When she left the room, she saw Wu Qingqing and Zhuo Zitao leaving their rooms at the same time.

In fact, everyone’s wake-up time was about the same. The live broadcast started at 8 a.m., so the guests would all get up and wash up around 7:30 a.m.

But this was the first time the three of them opened their doors at the same time. So, they gathered together, said hello, and chatted for a while before going downstairs together. When they turned the corner of the stairs, they saw Qi Yushan standing at the landing.

Because the weather had suddenly turned cool today, Qi Yushan also put on a black long-sleeved shirt and black pants. At this moment, she was standing at the landing, looking at the kitchen and not moving, not even noticing the sound of the three people coming down the stairs behind her.

Su Qixi and Zhuo Zitao exchanged glances and walked down the stairs. Just as they were about to greet Qi Yushan, they heard Lin Mo’s helpless voice from the kitchen: “Miss Yun, don’t you think it would be better to steam the dumplings without them sticking together?”

Yun Yue: “…Sorry, but you could have reminded me earlier next time.”

Lin Mo couldn’t help but laugh helplessly. “Yes, then please readjust their positions.”

Su Qixi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the kitchen.

Outside the large kitchen window, the autumn scenery was on display. The withered yellow leaves had not yet fallen but were already stained with the colors of decline. The sun passed through the dense leaves, casting golden spots of light. As the autumn wind blew in, a few playful strands of Yun Yue’s long hair danced in the air and wrapped around Lin Mo’s sleeve.

Lin Mo was especially beautiful today, wearing the deep V white shirt and the tight, dark jeans that Su Qixi bought for her. Her shoulder-length hair was just combed straight. She still wasn’t wearing makeup, but because she was naturally beautiful, even with this fresh look and that sexy outfit, she looked charming and alluring.

She was standing in front of the counter, putting some grains like corn and sweet potatoes into a large steamer. Next to her, Yun Yue was arranging the frozen dumplings one by one. The two stood side by side. Although they didn’t talk much, they worked together well.

In addition, since Yun Yue’s mindset had probably changed today, she lacked that sense of distance. Standing next to Lin Mo, they surprisingly had a bit of a CP feel.

With this thought, Su Qixi couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. She always felt that she was special, but if it were another person, she wouldn’t be so special anymore.

There were many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, and Yun Yue was also a rare beauty.

Lin Mo turned her head to look at Yun Yue’s dumplings and couldn’t help but laugh again. Yun Yue’s hand that was arranging the dumplings paused, but she gritted her teeth and continued.

What’s so funny? Is arranging dumplings that funny? Su Qixi clenched her hand at her side. It was at this moment that she realized her possessiveness was stronger than she thought.

She had no self-awareness. She didn’t love herself!

Su Qixi was about to go downstairs to find Lin Mo, but Qi Yushan was one step ahead of her.

She seemed a little angry. Her movements were wide as she strode all the way to the center island…

Her movements were so big that Lin Mo and Yun Yue naturally heard them. The two of them looked up at her in unison.

As if intercepted by their gazes, Qi Yushan stopped abruptly. She stood in front of the center island, looking at their confused eyes. The unknown anger in her heart was instantly extinguished. She realized that she had no right to question them.

She stood there for a few seconds, not knowing what to say.

Lin Mo looked at Yun Yue beside her and saw that she was still lowering her head to organize the basket of dumplings that were already arranged. So, Lin Mo took the initiative and asked Qi Yushan with a smile, “Are you hungry? Breakfast will be ready soon.”

Qi Yushan bit her lip and also looked at Yun Yue. When she saw that Yun Yue didn’t even look at her, she felt even more uncomfortable. She could only shake her head and say, “I’m not hungry. I’m thirsty. I’m going to get some water to drink…” As she said that, she turned to the fridge. It seemed she felt it wasn’t good to just leave, so she turned back and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Lin Mo smiled and nodded at her. “Thank you.”

And Yun Yue, of course, didn’t respond to her, but she let out a sarcastic “he.” Qi Yushan’s hands at her sides unconsciously clenched into fists, barely suppressing the faint pain in her heart.

Looking at Yun Yue’s back getting farther and farther away from her, at this moment, she seemed to feel that everything else didn’t matter so much anymore.

But in the end, she held back.

Heh, even she couldn’t help but laugh at herself. It turned out that her future was still very important.

Lin Mo glanced at Qi Yushan’s back and didn’t say anything. When she looked back, her eyes just happened to land on Su Qixi at the landing.

Lin Mo paused and turned her eyes back to Su Qixi.

Su Qixi was also wearing a white shirt and tight jeans today, which made them look like a couple. Although the styles were different, it was the thought that counted.

A slow smile bloomed on Lin Mo’s face. The faint smile seemed to have a hint of doting. She asked softly, “Good morning, why are you all standing there?”

Su Qixi’s heart skipped a beat. Lin Mo’s smile was too hard to resist. Coupled with the azure sky behind her, the smile was like a pure white orchid.

Zhuo Zitao gave Su Qixi a meaningful look and walked toward Lin Mo. “Good morning! We were afraid of disturbing you.”

This made Lin Mo confused. “Disturb?”

Zhuo Zitao patted her shoulder. “Hehe, those who know, know. You’re doing well, girl! You have two women at your command.”

Lin Mo was even more confused. “Huh? Senior, I didn’t offend you, did I?” She looked at Su Qixi and said innocently, “Don’t listen to her nonsense.”

Su Qixi scoffed, “I won’t. I have nothing to do with you anyway.”

Lin Mo: “…” Why are we suddenly not related anymore?

Wu Qingqing didn’t care about their little schemes. She poked her head into the steamer and asked Lin Mo, “What did you make?” Lin Mo hadn’t cooked for two days, and she was really craving her food.

Although everyone would try to make the food as rich as possible, their cooking skills were not up to par.

Thanks to Lin Mo being on this show, everyone’s food had improved.

Take breakfast, for example. When Lin Mo was not around, they ate milk and bread every day. Sometimes they would have sandwiches and milk if they wanted to eat something richer. Even if everyone wanted to cook like Lin Mo, not to mention the taste being different, they definitely couldn’t keep it up for more than two days.

Lin Mo: “Nothing much. Stir-fried lotus root, a basket of grains, a basket of dumplings, and red bean and purple rice porridge.”

They were all very light and simple. After she realized that everyone was intentionally controlling their carb intake, Lin Mo’s meals would also be paired in this direction, and they were still very rich.

Wu Qingqing said “Wow” and said, “Steam more.”

Lin Mo: “…You can’t even eat that much.”

Yun Yue saw that things were almost done and that other guests had joined them, so she said, “I’ll go upstairs to wash up first. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Lin Mo nodded and said to her, “You go ahead! I can handle the rest.”

Yun Yue nodded and left. Su Qixi looked at her retreating back and frowned slightly.

“Why is she here cooking breakfast with you?” Su Qixi asked strangely.

Lin Mo explained, “She went for a run this morning and we happened to run into each other. She probably felt a little bad that I was making breakfast alone, so she stayed to help.”

Su Qixi scoffed, “It’s not like you asked her to help, right?”

Lin Mo heard the sarcasm in her tone but thought she was overthinking it, so she explained seriously, “No, she helped me on her own.”

Su Qixi: “…” This idiot, is that the point? Is it? Do I need to know the truth?

Thinking that Lin Mo was seriously explaining this to her, Su Qixi turned around and walked away.

Zhuo Zitao patted Lin Mo’s shoulder again. “I didn’t expect this! This day would come for you too.”

Lin Mo: “…The tone of your voice seems to be very happy, senior?”

Zhuo Zitao: “…Well, well, not really!”

At this moment, Qi Yushan, who had returned with water, also couldn’t help but interject, “You should know that self-love is the beginning of romance.”

Lin Mo: “…Thank you.”

Qi Yushan nodded and said, “Trust me, if you know how to love yourself, you can get the affection you want.”

Lin Mo nodded again with difficulty. Seeing Lin Mo being so cooperative, Qi Yushan really couldn’t bring herself to say, “Stay away from Yun Yue.” In the end, she could only leave with an expression of wanting to say more but not being able to.

So, when Qiu Mingyi and Jiang Lun came downstairs, they found Lin Mo standing by the stove in a daze. Jiang Lun rushed over, patted Lin Mo, and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Lin Mo thought for a moment and felt that Jiang Lun and Wu Qingqing had been together for half a year, so they could be considered her seniors. So she asked him, “What is it like when Wu Qingqing is jealous?”

Jiang Lun: “…You might as well ask me what it’s like when I’m jealous.” He would like to see what it’s like when Wu Qingqing is jealous. Does he have the ability to do that?

Lin Mo thought so too and was about to turn to ask Qiu Mingyi.

But Qiu Mingyi showed a sad expression before her. “It’s because I’m jealous that I came on this show. How could I be so lucky to see her jealous? We got married through an arranged marriage with no feelings involved.”

Lin Mo let out a sigh and said, “…You guys are too miserable.”

These words offended both men at once. They turned around and left. However, since Lin Mo had this idea, she simply left the kitchen to Li Xinling, who had just come downstairs, and went to find Su Qixi herself.

Li Xinling: “???”

At this moment, Su Qixi was hiding in the yard sweeping the floor. While sweeping, she cursed, “She must be a playboy. She’s nothing like me, who has been faithful for eight years. I don’t know where she was hiding for eight years, and she even lied that it was her first kiss. How could that skill be a first kiss?! I don’t know how many girlfriends she’s had, and she still has the nerve to come back to me!”

Su Qixi was so focused on her cursing that she didn’t even notice Lin Mo standing behind her.

Lin Mo listened to her curse for a while before she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “You’re really wronging me. You were waiting for me, and I was also trying to find my way home. You were faithful, and so was I!”

Su Qixi was just cursing to vent. She didn’t necessarily think that way in her heart. Now that she was caught red-handed by the person in question, her hair stood on end. She turned around with a whoosh and saw Lin Mo standing behind her.

Su Qixi felt that she was in the wrong, but she didn’t want to admit it. So, she simply cursed, “You, you, you were eavesdropping!”

Lin Mo found it funny. She sat on the edge of the flower bed and said, “If I hadn’t been eavesdropping, I wouldn’t have known that you were cursing me in your heart?”

Well, Lin Mo didn’t even deny that she was eavesdropping.

But Su Qixi’s face turned red from what she said. She defended herself, “I didn’t curse you, but…” She thought for a moment and realized she did curse her. She didn’t know how to respond.

Lin Mo saw her awkwardness and felt a little tickled. She stood up, leaned closer to Su Qixi, and whispered, “But you were jealous? Is that why you were cursing me?”

This… what kind of hooligan talk is this!!!

Su Qixi’s face turned even redder. “You…”

Lin Mo looked down at her watch, then looked up and quickly pecked her on the lips. Su Qixi was stunned. She looked at Lin Mo and thought blankly, “Isn’t she afraid anymore?”

“Don’t worry, there are five minutes until the broadcast starts.”

Su Qixi: “…”

Seeing her still in a daze, Lin Mo broke into a brilliant smile and said, “How rare. So this is what you’re like when you’re jealous.”

Su Qixi’s face turned so red it was glowing. She wanted to deny that she was jealous, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Lin Mo reached out and patted her on the head, saying, “I’m very happy. Next time, I’ll be more careful.”

After saying that, she went inside.

Su Qixi looked at her dashing back, kicked the broom with a red face, and cursed, “She’s so good at coaxing people, so good! She must be a playboy!!!”

[Huh? She’s cursing right when the broadcast starts?]

[Is this what Qilin is like in private? Qilin CP fans, come here!!!]

Qilin CP fans: [Ahhhhhh, we’re getting our dose of sweetness right when the broadcast starts!!!]

Passersby: […Sure enough, normal people and CP fans have different ways of thinking.]

Li Xinling, who was back in the kitchen, had a very shocked expression. She didn’t expect Lin Mo to use her to chase after Xixi? Is this what a human being does?

As soon as she came down, Lin Mo asked her to stay and help watch the fire. In the end, Lin Mo went to the yard, kissed Xixi, and came back.

Now that she thought about it, what was so good about watching the fire on the stove? She was clearly trying to get her to leave so she could do some shady stuff, right? Too despicable!

This… isn’t this an obvious provocation?

So, after the live broadcast started today, the audience found out that Lin Mo had offended a lot of people this morning!

From Su Qixi to Li Xinling, even Qiu Mingyi and Jiang Lun were sarcastic to her. Even Qi Yushan would occasionally look at Lin Mo with a look of wanting to say more but not being able to.

[To be honest, what did Lin Mo do before the broadcast?]

[Quick, put up the previous live broadcast for me, a VIP, to watch.]

[I heard it’s going to be broadcast on TV soon. This part will definitely be broadcast on TV.]

[If it’s really broadcast on TV, there will be a lot to look into.]

[With so many CP fans, they’re not afraid of not having ratings.]

Lin Mo was mocked by them all morning, but she found that Yun Yue, the other person involved, was very calm, as if she was detached from the world.

Fortunately, the morning was busy. New partners, new business model.

After breakfast, everyone started to discuss how to divide the work and listened to Zhuo Zitao’s arrangements.

For the first day’s work division, Zhuo Zitao’s idea was that she and Qiu Mingyi would temporarily not leave the coffee station to prevent the new people from being unfamiliar on the first day. Similarly, Jiang Lun would still be in charge of the juice station.

Lin Mo’s cake stand was gone, so there was no need for her to stay put.

Lin Mo’s group was temporarily assigned to work in the front hall today. Everyone could use the free time today to learn from each other. This way, they could switch to different positions in the future.

But there was one problem, and that was—Yun Yue.

This made Zhuo Zitao very hesitant, so she simply let Yun Yue make her own decision.

Yun Yue was very decisive. “Of course, I’ll follow senior’s arrangements. Your arrangements are already the most reasonable.”

Zhuo Zitao shook her head. “But today you’ll have to interact with fans… I mean, why don’t you switch with Jiang Lun?”

Yun Yue shook her head. “If I don’t see them today, won’t I have to see them tomorrow? Can I hide from the first and the fifteenth day of the lunar month? I didn’t do anything shameful. My conscience is clear.”

Zhuo Zitao sighed. “Then you have to think it through.”

Yun Yue nodded heavily, and Zhuo Zitao said to Lin Mo, “If there are any situations in the hall, you might need to handle them in time.”

Lin Mo nodded. “Okay, I understand.”

So, everyone got up and started to prepare for work. Lin Mo had never used a cash register before, so she followed Su Qixi to learn. Yun Yue had worked in the front hall before, so she didn’t follow them.

She seemed to want to learn how to make coffee, so she followed behind Qiu Mingyi.

When she passed by Qi Yushan, Qi Yushan tried to reach out and grab her several times but didn’t dare to.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but what was bound to happen would still happen.

A crisp “snap” echoed in the hall. Everyone who was working in different corners couldn’t help but look over.

At the table where Yun Yue delivered coffee, a girl with a ponytail was standing with her arms crossed, sneering, “You can’t even put down a coffee properly. That’s too low-class, isn’t it?”

Yun Yue’s war had just begun.
