Female-dominated society: My wife is an incompetent wife

Chapter 4: Bess's Wife

Inside Qinghang Company, Lu Xiaoxue, a hard-working employee, was sitting in front of her computer, absentmindedly processing work documents.

The fact that she had cheated on herself was already devastating for Lu Xiaoxue, but now she was filled with remorse. She shouldn't have sacrificed her husband for her career.

"Lu Xiaoxue, Lu Xiaoxue, why can't you handle the pressure? It's just losing seven jobs in a year, I can just find another one. So what if I'm three months behind on my mortgage? Even though I have various loans on my phone and have to pay back my Jiebei (a loan service), I can manage..."

As she thought about it, Lu Xiaoxue felt a headache coming on and collapsed onto the table, repeatedly banging her head against it.

This crazy behavior also frightened the colleagues around him, who might have thought it was a zombie outbreak.

"Lu Xiaoxue!"

"arrive!"

Upon hearing her boss's voice, Lu Xiaoxue instinctively stood up abruptly. She saw Manager Su Qi walk over, holding a document in her hand and throwing it on the table.

"Please process this; I need it urgently."

"Oh, um... Manager Su." Just as Su Qi was about to leave, Lu Xiaoxue carefully called out to her.

"Is there something you need?" Su Qi asked indifferently as she turned around.

"About the layoffs..."

"Layoffs?" Su Qi looked bewildered. "What layoffs? That's HR's business, what does it have to do with our sales department?"

"Huh? Then I..."

"Just mind your own business. By the way, I've already registered you for the promotion to team leader. Just wait for the results!" With that, Su Qi turned and left gracefully.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Lu Xiaoxue stood there in a daze, and the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart finally settled down.

Suddenly, she shouted excitedly, and this startled behavior attracted even more attention from her colleagues.

"Holy crap, what's wrong with Lu Xiaoxue?"

"Who knows? She's usually the kind of person who's very outspoken and easily startled, just like Bis."

"Yeah, she's just a nobody. We're a big company, after all. I really don't understand how the company could let someone like that pass the interview?"

------------

In the evening, after getting off work, Lu Xiaoxue returned home to find her husband, Mo Xunhuan, had prepared a sumptuous dinner.

"Xiaoxue, look what this is!" As soon as she entered the door, Lu Xiaoxue proudly showed off the bag of gifts in her hand.

Lu Qingqing excitedly ran over, opened the bag, and saw the toy she had been dreaming of.

"Wow, it's the doll I've always wanted! Mom, you actually bought it for me! That's wonderful!"

"So, do you love Mommy?"

"Love, Mom, you're the best!" Lu Qingqing hugged the doll and happily kissed Lu Xiaoxue on the cheek.

"Alright, wash your hands and come eat!" Mo Xunhuan urged as he sat at the dining table.

Lu Xiaoxue casually tossed her bag onto the sofa, kicked off her high heels, and walked barefoot to Mo Xunhuan's side, leaning down to whisper in his ear.

"Honey~, guess what I bought for you?"

"You bought me things? Don't waste money, I'm already three months behind on the mortgage," Mo Xunhuan complained.

"It's alright, I can handle all of this. Look what this is!" With that, Lu Xiaoxue handed a delicate mecha model to Mo Xunhuan.

"Wow, why did you buy this?" Mo Xunhuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the exquisite mecha model in front of him.

As a transmigrator, his tastes differed greatly from those of the men in this world; he liked mecha models, but not many people knew that he owned this particular model.

"You like it, right?"

"I like them, but they're too expensive. One of them must cost several hundred!" Mo Xunhuan said with a pained expression.

"It's nothing. I've recently been promoted by my boss and landed a project. The company gave me a bonus, and I'll be promoted to team leader soon!" Lu Xiaoxue said proudly.

"Really?" Mo Xunhuan asked with a look of surprise.

"Of course, so honey, you don't need to worry about me anymore. I promised you'd have a good life!"

Seeing Lu Xiaoxue's happy expression, even though he understood the twists and turns behind it, Mo Xunhuan was still happy for her. After all, they had been together for so many years, and he had fallen deeply in love with this somewhat silly wife.

After dinner, Lu Xiaoxue unusually offered to wash the dishes, although such behavior was quite common in the past.

However, Lu Xiaoxue was already exhausted from the setbacks she had suffered this year, so Mo Xunhuan took care of most of the household chores and comforted her every day.

When Lu Xiaoxue finished washing the dishes and came to the bedroom, Mo Xunhuan was sitting on the edge of the bed, coaxing her daughter to sleep.

Due to the continuous pressure and the fact that they had been having sex for a long time, Lu Xiaoxue had lost interest in that area and hadn't had sex for more than half a month.

In a great mood today, she saw Mo Xunhuan as soon as she entered the door. An idea immediately came to her mind. She quietly walked up to him and suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Stop it! I just got Qingqing to sleep!" Mo Xunhuan shuddered in fright and turned around to remind her.

"Honey, we haven't done 'that' in so long~" Lu Xiaoxue said coquettishly.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xunhuan rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. "Blame me? You have the nerve to say that? In the past two weeks, I've taken the initiative so many times, but you've never shown any interest. You even yelled at me for being annoying once. Have you forgotten?"

Forced to recall these events, Lu Xiaoxue lowered her head awkwardly and obediently apologized, "This...this was my fault. I was really annoyed at work during that time and didn't feel like it, but I feel like it now~"

"Get out of the way!" Mo Xunhuan stood up, shoved her aside, and walked out of the room.

Lu Xiaoxue quickly followed and arrived in the living room, where she saw Mo Xunhuan sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Honey~, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?" Lu Xiaoxue shamelessly leaned closer, wrapped her arms around Mo Xunhuan's, and started to act coquettishly towards him.

Mo Xunhuan, with an aloof expression, stared at the television, a can of iced cola in his hand, and said indifferently, "Why should I forgive you? You did nothing wrong. I'm just not in the mood, just like before."

Sensing the sarcasm in his words, Lu Xiaoxue simply sat on Mo Xunhuan's lap, blocking the view of the television, wrapped her arms around his neck, and stared intently at him. "Give me a chance!"

"What opportunity?"

"I want to prove myself and fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a wife. I promise!"

Seeing Lu Xiaoxue's resolute expression, Mo Xunhuan recalled what had happened yesterday and seemed to understand why Lu Xiaoxue was acting this way.

"Hmph, fine, seeing how determined you are, I'll give you a chance. But let me make this clear: if you don't do well this time, don't touch me for the next week," Mo Xunhuan warned with a cold snort.
