Female-dominated society: My wife is an incompetent wife

Chapter 52: Let's play here!

At 8:30 p.m., the family of three sat together at the dining table in the living room, eating dinner peacefully.

Dinner was simple: three bowls of porridge, a plate of cold carrot salad, and a plate of stir-fried potato shreds.

"I'm full!" Lu Qingqing quickly finished her meal, turned around, and ran to her room.

"How come this child finished eating so quickly?" Mo Xunhuan asked, puzzled.

Back in her room, Lu Qingqing closed and locked the door, then quickly crawled into bed, took out the Spider-Man toy that Lin Yoona had given her, and excitedly played with it.

Turning around, Mo Xunhuan looked at his wife and found her looking sullen, as if she wasn't in a good mood.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxue? Did someone make things difficult for you at work again? Did Su Qi bully you? If so, I'll go find her and ask her what she means by that," Mo Xunhuan asked with concern.

Lu Xiaoxue shook her head. "No, Manager Su has been very nice to me lately. I'm just a little tired."

After saying that, Lu Xiaoxue buried her head in her food.

Seeing that his wife was unwilling to say more, Mo Xunhuan did not force her to ask, but he had already guessed most of the truth in his heart.

Lu Xiaoxue usually appears to be lively, active, and carefree, but in reality, she is filled with inferiority and introversion.

She doesn't speak up when she's bullied or has troubles, and from the moment they got together, Lu Xiaoxue has always been in a subservient position in front of Mo Xunhuan.

So much so that during college, in order to prevent Mo Xunhuan from leaving her, she surprisingly proposed to be a concubine and share the relationship with her senior, Han Xiyue.

"It's my fault. I've been so busy dealing with Su Qi and Lan Ruoxin lately that I forgot to take care of Xiaoxue's feelings." Mo Xunhuan sighed inwardly, while also thinking about how to comfort his wife's depressed mood.

"I'll go wash the dishes first." After finishing her meal, Lu Xiaoxue took the bowls and headed to the kitchen.

Watching her departing figure, Mo Xunhuan had already made up her mind. She got up and went to her daughter's room, gently knocking on the door.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Lu Qingqing opened the door and looked at Mo Xunhuan nervously, thinking that her toys had been discovered.

"Tonight... just stay in your room and play by yourself. Don't come out unless you have to," Mo Xunhuan reminded him.

"Okay, I understand." Lu Qingqing nodded and quickly closed the door again.

After Lu Xiaoxue finished showering, she came out of the bathroom in her pajamas and passed by the living room, only to find the lights dim and the TV on.

She went to the sofa and saw Mo Xunhuan lying on it, with a blanket covering his legs, watching a horror movie.

"Hey, why did you decide to watch a horror movie tonight?" Lu Xiaoxue asked in surprise.

"I'm bored. It's been so long since we sat together to watch a movie. Come on over~" Mo Xunhuan beckoned to her with his finger.

Lu Xiaoxue stepped forward and sat down beside him. Mo Xunhuan thoughtfully covered her with a blanket and held her in his arms.

Lu Xiaoxue thoroughly enjoyed the warm atmosphere. She had been so busy with work lately that she hadn't had time to properly connect with Mo Xunhuan.

The two sat together watching a movie, and as they watched, Mo Xunhuan's hand ended up on Lu Xiaoxue's smooth, fair thigh.

Lu Xiaoxue was already used to it, staring intently at the TV screen, ignoring Mo Xunhuan's teasing.

As time passed, the movie's terrifying scenes unfolded, each one stimulating the adrenaline and, ironically, making the audience even more excited.

"You and the class monitor... got along quite well in kindergarten, right?" Lu Xiaoxue suddenly asked.

Mo Xunhuan remained calm and skillfully handled the object, saying, "It's fine. She takes good care of me, the kindergarten salary is high, and I can take care of my daughter too."

"Hmm, that sounds good. Has she... said anything strange to you?"

"Strange words?" Mo Xunhuan chuckled and whispered in Lu Xiaoxue's ear.

She asked me—"Between you and her, who gives me more pleasure?"

"Huh?" Lu Xiaoxue turned her head sharply, looking at Mo Xunhuan in shock, her face full of disbelief.

Seeing her shocked expression, Mo Xunhuan chuckled and flicked her nose, teasingly saying, "I was just kidding, silly, you didn't actually believe me, did you?"

Lu Xiaoxue blushed instantly, turned her head away awkwardly, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "In the future... don't make jokes like that, it's kind of scary."

"Scary? What's so scary about that? Are you afraid I'll sleep with other women, or are you afraid I... will fall for another woman?"

Mo Xunhuan pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"I..." Lu Xiaoxue hesitated, her hands clenched into fists, her gaze fixed on the television screen.

"I'm afraid...you'll leave me!"

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere fell silent; apart from their breathing, the only other sound was the television.

Mo Xunhuan stared blankly at Lu Xiaoxue, a slight smile playing on his lips. He cupped her face in his hands, looked into her eyes, and said gently, "Silly girl, we are husband and wife, a loving couple with children. If I really wanted to leave you, I wouldn't have waited until now. No matter how many other people come, no matter how outstanding they are, they cannot change our marital relationship. Even if Han Xiyue came, she could only be a concubine. And you... are my wife!"

Hearing Mo Xunhuan's heartfelt confession, Lu Xiaoxue's eyes widened, revealing excitement, emotion, and a sense of relief.

"Is what you're saying... true?"

"Nonsense, when have I ever lied to you? But you always keep things to yourself without discussing them with me. Do you really think I don't notice?" Mo Xunhuan gently patted her cheek and teased her.

These words instantly reminded Lu Xiaoxue of the ugly deal she and Su Qi had made, and her expression changed slightly, filled with shame.

"I...I'm sorry..."

"Shh, no need to say anything." Lu Xiaoxue was about to confess when Mo Xunhuan covered her mouth with his finger.

"Let bygones be bygones; a new life awaits. I've accepted it now, and you... you need to learn to accept it too. Don't let what happened before bother you anymore, okay?"

Faced with Mo Xunhuan's gentle gaze, Lu Xiaoxue's heart gradually calmed down, and she silently nodded.

Mo Xunhuan smiled slightly, leaned down and kissed her. The two quickly embraced, deeply in love...

After a while, Lu Xiaoxue knelt on the sofa cushion, her face flushed with embarrassment, and looked back at Mo Xunhuan, asking nervously, "Are we really going to do this here? What if Qingqing comes out?"

"What, are you scared? You were the one who begged me to play here before. I was planning to treat you tonight. If you don't want to, then go back to your room!" With that, Mo Xunhuan pretended to leave.

Lu Xiaoxue panicked and quickly grabbed his hand, "No, I'm willing, it's fine right here!"

Lu Xiaoxue was determined not to give up the opportunity to have some fun with her husband, otherwise she wouldn't have anything to do next time.
