My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 71
This was a love letter that was eight years late!
How could Su Qixi possibly stay emotionally stable as she looked at every word?
Not only was her heart shaken by the photo, but her very soul was shaken by those words. Her trembling fingers slowly traced over every stroke. All the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
“Even though it’s an expired love letter, and even though so many years have passed and we are already together, I still want to give it back to you as a gift.”
Lin Mo’s voice was right next to her ear, sincere and not a lie.
At that moment, years of pent-up feelings of injustice suddenly surged up. Tears welled up in Su Qixi’s eyes, falling onto the back of her hand. The moisture felt like the traces of time. Years of sadness and strength all crumbled at this moment.
She asked in a trembling voice, “You don’t have to tell me what you did for eight years. I can not ask. But Lin Mo…”
She couldn’t even finish the sentence. A sob escaped her, and tears once again filled her eyes. The unbearable grievances fell from her cheeks like glittering pearls, one after another.
They landed on Lin Mo’s heart, drip, drip, drip, like fine needles, causing her a sharp pain.
After a long time, Su Qixi continued to question her. “…But why didn’t you give me this letter?”
She raised her eyes and looked at Lin Mo. Her eyes, washed by tears, were bright and dazzling. She wanted an answer, and she wanted to tell Lin Mo how much she needed this love letter.
“How great would it have been if you had given it to me that day? I wouldn’t have cried, wouldn’t have been sad, wouldn’t have spent every day looking for you. I would have been a shining star in the entertainment industry, becoming someone you could see from anywhere in the world. I would have obediently waited for you to come back. No matter how long it took, I would have waited for you.”
She knelt beside Lin Mo, grabbing her shirt at her chest, and questioned her with tears in her eyes.
—”Did you believe in me?”
If you didn’t believe in me, what would it have mattered if I had given you my heart?
For the 18-year-old Su Qixi, Lin Mo was her sky, her wind, her air, her sunshine, and the ocean on Earth.
She was Su Qixi’s everything. Lin Mo had created a world for her, given her a comfortable life, given her a new life, and even the warmth of this world was given by Lin Mo. She had also given her every beautiful sight in her life.
Lin Mo had permeated her life for three years, and now she would be a part of it forever. She relied on Lin Mo to grow and live.
If, at that time, she had told Su Qixi, “I love you, too. Can you wait for me?”
Why not?
“I can wait for a lifetime!” Su Qixi declared with conviction. She never doubted her sincerity.
Neither did Lin Mo.
So, she gently took the love letter from Su Qixi’s hand. She looked at the photo of Su Qixi staring blankly at the sunset outside the window and smiled bitterly. “I do believe in you! That’s why I couldn’t give you this letter at that time.”
Su Qixi paused. She looked up at Lin Mo blankly. “You never planned to come back to me?” Otherwise, why couldn’t you give it to me?
Lin Mo smiled gently, reached out, and gently patted her head. Her voice was raspy. “As long as I’m alive, I will definitely come back.”
Su Qixi’s entire body froze, and her eyes were filled with shock. The meaning of those words…
Her almost rigid body could even feel that terror and coldness. She asked in a trembling voice, “What did you do? Why did it have to be… with your life?”
Lin Mo lowered her head, resting her forehead against Su Qixi’s. The sudden closeness, the intertwined breaths, and their lips almost touching, all blocked Su Qixi’s words.
Lin Mo was still the Lin Mo who could control the whole situation. She smiled, and her eyes curved slightly. Her eyes, as clear as a spring, looked at Su Qixi and said, “I had to leave, and I couldn’t give you the letter. Waiting with love for someone who might not come back, waiting for a lifetime, that’s too cruel. Su Qixi, you were born to experience this world.”
—”You don’t need to waste your life in misery for a loved one. You can climb snowy mountains, learn to dive, go skydiving, or race cars. Experience life in different ways. You can get up in the morning and have coffee or soy milk. You can have lunch at the set and have a simple stir-fry and some wine for dinner. You can even go shopping with friends on a nice, sunny day. Or on a rainy day, lie on the balcony and listen to the rain.”
—”Su Qixi, a person’s life is very short, but it’s also very long. You were only 18! You couldn’t wait for me. Live well, live a brilliant life. Go and feel life, experience life. If I couldn’t come back, at least you could live your life this way. If you remember a person named Lin Mo in your dreams at midnight, that would be enough. Su Qixi, that’s how you should live.”
This was like a will. Like the love letter that had been sealed for eight years, these were words that should have been said to Su Qixi eight years ago. Today, eight years later, with the love letter finally being seen, the “will” was also naturally spoken.
Su Qixi didn’t know why she had been gone for eight years, but she knew that Lin Mo was forced to, and she knew that Lin Mo loved her.
She was heartbroken that Lin Mo wanted her to live well, but Lin Mo, you weren’t there!
Everyone understands the logic, but the heart doesn’t listen!
In the middle of this bittersweet confession, Su Qixi looked up and silenced Lin Mo. She was more proactive than ever. She tried to stick out her tongue to lick her lover’s lips, just like Lin Mo. She thought of the little lessons she had seen and gently bit her lip and her chin.
She wanted to light a fire. She wanted to ignite their desires.
She knew she wasn’t skilled enough, but Lin Mo was.
Sure enough, Lin Mo, who had been frozen and letting her do whatever she wanted, quickly joined in. She grinded against her, slowly lighting the deep-seated desires in her body.
A tingling sensation was left behind. Su Qixi twisted her body, trying to take off the clothes underneath. She wanted to give herself to Lin Mo. She wanted to become one with her at this moment.
Let the past eight years and all the missed opportunities disappear in their desires!
Su Qixi was quickly lost in it.
“Lin Mo, Lin Mo…”
She kept calling Lin Mo’s name. Lin Mo could only block her mouth and say, “Meimei, be quiet.”
Su Qixi smiled and wrapped her arms around Lin Mo’s neck, pulling her head down to her neck. With a soft moan, Su Qixi’s voice became a little hoarse with desire.
At this moment, she let go of all her composure. With her top-notch acting skills, a seductive look, and a captivating voice, she said, “Jiejie, hurt me a little.”
Oh my God! The 18-year-old girl had really grown up.
Lin Mo thought to herself, but she had to admit that this one sentence was truly enticing.
The cold wind howled outside, blowing the ginkgo leaves off the tree. They fell like snowflakes, swaying in the wind, with nowhere to land, floating to wherever the wind took them.
“Lin Mo~”
Su Qixi called her name in a soft, sobbing, and wronged voice.
“Lin Mo~”
“Zzzz… zzzz…”
Lin Mo suddenly opened her eyes. In the darkness, the black ceiling reflected the shadows of the trees outside the window. They swayed in the wind like ghosts.
“Task-taker…”
A gust of wind passed by the window. Su Qixi opened her eyes in a daze and found that the sky was overcast and there was no sun.
Autumn weather in the south is unpredictable, with a lot of rain. It’s common for it to be sunny one day and pouring rain the next. It’s not rare for it to be hot one day and cold and windy the next.
Su Qixi’s head was on the bed, and she could still feel her back aching and her legs feeling weak. The battle last night was a bit intense. Su Qixi’s face was a little red. She was a little too proactive last night.
“Ah, how embarrassing.” Su Qixi covered her face with her hands, thinking about how shameful it was.
Then she suddenly realized something was wrong. Where’s Lin Mo?
Su Qixi sat up, rubbed her lower back, and reached out to the empty space next to her. It was cold. She had clearly been gone for a while.
“Lin Mo, you scumbag!!!” Shouldn’t we have cuddled afterward?
Su Qixi gritted her teeth and got up. Although her legs felt a little weak, she was in good spirits. She knew that Lin Mo had cleaned her up last night, which was why she was able to fall asleep right after.
But she couldn’t just disappear so early in the morning!
Su Qixi wanted to go downstairs, but she knew she couldn’t just go down like this. She found some clothes to change into and sat in front of the vanity mirror. She found a few faint strawberry marks on her neck. Su Qixi paused, got up, and found a high-neck shirt to change into. Fortunately, the weather was starting to get cold, so it wasn’t strange to wear a high neck.
Su Qixi thought about it and started doing her hair and makeup.
It was 8 a.m. now. She knew she had gotten up late. She couldn’t help it; she had been a bit too passionate yesterday. The neighbors, Jiang Lun, probably… heard it too?
Ahhhhhhh, this is all Lin Mo’s fault. As Su Qixi thought about it, she saw her face turn even redder in the mirror.
Just as she was feeling too embarrassed to face Jiang Lun later, she suddenly started thinking about other things, and her thoughts drifted away again.
So, she liked me back then, too. The way she looked at me was definitely not innocent.
The phone on the table rang abruptly at this moment. Su Qixi was putting on lipstick. She leaned over to look and then reached out to answer the phone, putting it on speaker.
As she pursed her lips to make the red more even, she immediately asked Xiong Jingjing on the other end of the line, “Jingjing-jie, what’s wrong?”
Xiong Jingjing was stunned. She hadn’t expected Su Qixi to react this way. She paused. “Have you seen the trending topics?”
Su Qixi looked at her lips from multiple angles, very satisfied with her work. She casually replied, “I don’t have time to look at trending topics. I’m working right now!”
“No wonder.” Xiong Jingjing laughed bitterly, then sighed.
Su Qixi frowned and slowly stopped what she was doing. She asked her, “What is it?”
Xiong Jingjing thought it over. She knew that since she had already said something, Su Qixi would find out sooner or later. It would be better if she told her herself. She spoke in a soothing tone. “I’m going to tell you, but you need to stay calm. This thing is not that hard to deal with.”
Su Qixi: “What is it?”
Xiong Jingjing: “Lin Mo is trending.”
Su Qixi’s heart sank, but she still tried to sound strong. “She’s always trending after ‘Qilin’ got popular.”
Xiong Jingjing laughed bitterly. “You’re so smart. You should know that if it was a good trending topic, I wouldn’t have called you.”
Su Qixi closed her eyes. Besides the topics about their couple, it could only be about that debt.
“Now, the online comments about her are starting to lean one way. The debt issue is just a building block. The two of you have become so popular that many companies are jealous. Now, everyone is going after Lin Mo. They probably won’t let her go so easily.” Xiong Jingjing was still analyzing on the other end of the phone.
When Su Qixi heard this, her face instantly turned pale. She knew that with great popularity came a lot of controversy. The couple’s fanbase was a big piece of cake. Otherwise, people wouldn’t be forming couples for the sake of popularity.
Since it was a big piece of cake, naturally, people would fight over it.
The cake was always limited. The more people there were, the less everyone got. The more popular a couple, the bigger the slice they got.
The popularity of the ‘Qilin’ couple had naturally made other companies very jealous. If they had a chance, they would do everything they could to break up this couple. As long as one person took the lead!
Su Qixi’s hands trembled as she picked up her phone. She exited the call interface and quickly clicked on the trending topics page.
The first trending topic had a “Super Hot” tag—[Lin Mo, a deadbeat]
Su Qixi’s eyes went dark. This is too cruel. They’re going straight for the kill!
It wasn’t that Lin Mo owed money, that she was broke, or that her investments failed. It was an outright accusation of her being a deadbeat, which was a direct push toward her ruin!
“Who? Who leaked this?”
Xiong Jingjing was mad that Su Qixi would lose her mind whenever something about Lin Mo came up. She scolded her. “Since she’s been identified as a deadbeat, anyone can find it online! Don’t panic. We’ll respond well and help her pay the money back in time.”
However, after Xiong Jingjing finished speaking, she realized the call had already ended.
Xiong Jingjing was so shocked that she cursed out loud. “F*ck!” But she quickly opened the video platform. She knew with her gut that Su Qixi was going downstairs to find Lin Mo.
At this moment, the live stream had just started. When Xiong Jingjing entered the live stream, she saw that the comments were already becoming unfriendly. Judging by the comments, which seemed to be professionally promoting that Lin Mo was a deadbeat, they were clearly hired trolls.
Xiong Jingjing told Bai Jin to find the public relations department to handle it. She hid the comments. She saw Su Qixi rushing down the stairs wearing a brown high-neck knit sweater and a matching gauze skirt.
At this moment, Lin Mo was at the kitchen island, making breakfast with Zhuo Zitou and Qiu Mingyi. Qiu Mingyi ungratefully said, “I told you not to help! Give us some time to ourselves, will you?”
Lin Mo laughed. “I’m just making some porridge. I won’t bother you.”
“Lin Mo.” Su Qixi rushed to the bottom of the stairs. The moment she saw Lin Mo, she seemed to let out a sigh of relief and called out to her.
Lin Mo turned her head to look at Su Qixi, a smile blooming on her face. “I made some porridge for you.” She looked at the clay pot and saw that the porridge was almost ready. She turned off the fire and walked over to Su Qixi. “Why are you in such a hurry?”
Su Qixi was out of breath. She looked at her deeply. She didn’t believe that Lin Mo didn’t know about it, but that’s just the kind of person Lin Mo was. Even if the sky was falling, she would handle it calmly.
Just like eight years ago, even though she didn’t know what was happening, she didn’t feel a thing when Lin Mo had to leave.
Su Qixi rushed over and hugged Lin Mo tightly, not caring about anything else.
Lin Mo was stunned by the hug. She reached out to push her away, but Su Qixi hugged her even tighter.
She rested her head on Lin Mo’s shoulder and said in a low, firm voice, “Lin Mo, I’ll be with you.”
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, “There’s no need for that.”
This time, it was Su Qixi’s turn to be stunned. She let go of Lin Mo and asked, “You saw the trending topics, didn’t you?”
Lin Mo smiled. “My friend, Li Xinling, called me right away when she saw something to make fun of me about. So I know.”
Su Qixi was choked up. She looked at Lin Mo’s pretended strength with a heavy heart. She tightly grabbed Lin Mo’s hand and said, “I’ll handle all of this. This time, you’re not allowed to run away again.”
Lin Mo sighed and tried to pull her hand away, but Su Qixi wouldn’t let go. Lin Mo laughed and called her, “Xiaoxi.”
Su Qixi immediately gripped her hand even tighter. She looked at Lin Mo and frowned, shouting defiantly, “Answer me!”
In the end, Lin Mo gave in. She sighed helplessly and leaned in close to Su Qixi’s ear, promising, “Okay. This time, I won’t leave you ever again.”
Only then did Su Qixi nod, finally at ease.
[Ahhhhh, even though she’s a deadbeat, I can’t help it! This is too good.]
[Everyone, wake up! This is a criminal!**]
[It’s only five million yuan! Our Su Su has a lot of money!]
[OMG, are you guys real fans? You’d rather see your idol with a moocher just to get some romance!]
[What do you mean, a moocher? Our Miss Pig provides so much emotional support!]
Su Qixi’s hug, although brief, managed to bring back the passion of their fans. But the other companies had clearly spent a lot of money. The trolls in the comments were probably hired by more than one company. It was a chaotic battle from all sides.
The person who first leaked the information also took advantage of the trend of Lin Mo’s rescue. A national hero becoming a deadbeat was a huge topic.
Therefore, the trending topics kept refreshing. In just half a day, the news of Lin Mo owing five million yuan and being sued in court had spread across the entire internet.
Although Su Qixi stood by her, she was practically glued to Lin Mo’s side the entire morning, silently telling everyone that Su Qixi was here!
Five million yuan is nothing!
Ahhhhhh, I was so happy yesterday, I’ll pay it off for her today!!!
The trending topics, of course, also started to add new keywords based on Su Qixi’s actions.
For example—[Lin Mo, a moocher]
[Eight years with no contact, comes back for a debt]
[The honey trap**]
In short, all of Lin Mo’s public image for the past month was destroyed in one day.
Su Qixi’s support might not be able to fight against multiple companies. Su Qixi knew this. She was just a small studio, and it was a bit naive to think she could fight against several big companies on her own.
But no matter what the difficulty was, Su Qixi wasn’t afraid!
However, Su Qixi’s bravery didn’t improve the situation. People were still asking why Lin Mo became a deadbeat, why she came back with a debt after disappearing for eight years, and if she was setting up a honey trap for Actress Su?
All kinds of questions were harsh and pointed.
Every arrow was aimed at Lin Mo’s ill intentions. Even Su Qixi got two trending topics: [Emotional] and [Dating brain].
It was just as Yimei’er had predicted…
After the morning’s work was over, Director Feng personally went to find Lin Mo. “Come with me for a moment.”
Lin Mo nodded. Su Qixi immediately tried to follow. Lin Mo smiled helplessly and held her forehead. “I’m just going to have a talk with Director Feng. You don’t have to follow.”
Su Qixi didn’t like that. Her brows furrowed.
Director Feng was also helpless. “Actress Su, don’t worry. I wouldn’t dare bully her!”
But Su Qixi wasn’t relieved at all!
