Chapter 51: The Humble Wife
Chapter 51: The Humble Wife
After being teased by Mo Xunhuan, Lan Ruoxin showed a shy demeanor. Although Mo Xunhuan no longer had the pure and innocent appearance of the past, he was now more charming, more real, and more captivating!
"I...I will try my best, next time...I will try my best to satisfy you, really!" Lan Ruoxin grabbed Mo Xunhuan's hand and said anxiously.
"Sweetie, you're just getting started. You don't need to have such high expectations of yourself. Besides, I have a big appetite~" Mo Xunhuan winked at her and said meaningfully.
This reminded Lan Ruoxin of Su Qi's disheveled appearance on Christmas Eve, which showed that Mo Xunhuan's strength was extraordinary. Despite being a man, he was stronger than a woman.
"Could it be that Su Qi was...?" Lan Ruoxin covered her flushed face, rubbing her long legs together, her mind wandering.
"Alright, it's getting late, I should head back." Mo Xunhuan turned to leave.
"It's getting late, let me take you home!" Lan Ruoxin hurriedly got up from the sofa.
Mo Xunhuan glanced back at her, pointed at her, and said, "Then hurry up and get dressed!"
A few minutes later, the car drove out of the villa area and onto the highway at night.
A gentle song played in the car, perfectly suited to the atmosphere.
Lan Ruoxin, who was driving, glanced at Mo Xunhuan by the window and, thinking of Lu Xiaoxue who should still be at the company, couldn't help but ask a question.
"Do you... still like her?"
"Who?"
"Xiaoxue".
"I like her, of course I like her, she's my wife." Mo Xunhuan said without hesitation, his eyes narrowed.
"Since you like her, don't you feel bad for her doing this now?" Lan Ruoxin said worriedly.
Ultimately, it was Lan Ruoxin who felt guilty. Compared to Su Qi, she still had a much higher moral standard, but that didn't mean she regretted it.
"You regret it?" Mo Xunhuan opened his eyes and looked at her.
Lan Ruoxin, who was driving, shook her head, gripped the steering wheel tightly, stared ahead, and said, "I don't regret it. If it weren't for this opportunity, I'm afraid I would have been alone forever. I'm saying this simply because I feel sorry for her. If I had to choose again, I would still do the same."
Mo Xunhuan opened the window a crack, enjoying the cool breeze on his face, and let out a long sigh.
"Feeling guilty? What if I told you that the reason I acted that way with Su Qi was actually because of her?"
Suddenly, the car braked sharply and stopped on the side of the road.
"What?" Lan Ruoxin turned to look at Mo Xunhuan, asking incredulously, "You mean, Lu Xiaoxue took the initiative to..."
Mo Xunhuan sighed, raised his hand and patted his head, saying in a somber tone, "It's not as bad as you think. There are many problems involved, too many unavoidable circumstances, and various things mixed together, which led to the final result."
"Even if it's difficult, it can't be like this. You're her man, how could she..."
Lan Ruoxin wanted to say something, but Mo Xunhuan raised his hand to stop her. "Don't say anything more. This matter can't be explained in a few words. It can't be blamed on Xiaoxue alone. It can only be said that Su Qi, Xiaoxue, and I are all at fault. The reason I told you this is just to relieve you of too much pressure."
"Pressure?" Lan Ruoxin was slightly taken aback, then quickly shook her head and continued driving.
"I'm not under any pressure. I'm very happy right now. After all, my wish from high school has come true. There's nothing that makes me happier than this," Lan Ruoxin said casually.
"That's good, that's good!" Mo Xunhuan leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes to rest.
........................
"husband?"
At the entrance of the residential compound, Mo Xunhuan had just gotten out of the car when he heard Lu Xiaoxue's voice.
Lu Xiaoxue, riding an electric scooter, was not far away. She had obviously just returned to the neighborhood and was looking at him with surprise, as well as Lan Ruoxin, who had just gotten off the scooter.
"Xiaoxue, you're back. I had something to do tonight, so I asked Xunhuan to help me. I just brought him back," Lan Ruoxin explained as she walked over.
"Oh, is that so? Then I'll trouble you, class monitor, to personally escort my husband back." Lu Xiaoxue nodded, her gaze falling on Lan Ruoxin's SUV, then looking at her own little electric scooter, and she immediately felt a deep sense of inferiority.
"Oh, it's nothing, just a small favor."
As the two were chatting, Mo Xunhuan walked over, took Lu Xiaoxue's handbag, and asked with concern, "How was work today?"
"Yeah, I've been involved in a project recently, it's been quite busy, but it's paid off," Lu Xiaoxue said with a smile.
"It's good to earn more money, but you also need to take care of your health. Let's go home!" With that, Mo Xunhuan urged her to go home.
"Okay, by the way, class monitor, would you like to come up and sit for a bit?" Lu Xiaoxue turned to Lan Ruoxin and invited her.
"Ah, I..."
"She doesn't need it. The class monitor is tired today too. Let her go home and rest early!" Mo Xunhuan refused on Lan Ruoxin's behalf.
Lan Ruoxin: …………
"Alright then, class monitor, take care on your journey. Goodnight!"
"Good night!" Watching the two figures leave, Lan Ruoxin gasped, shivered a couple of times, got into her car, and drove away.
Back home, Mo Xunhuan put his bag on the table and went next door to pick up Lu Qingqing.
When he brought Lu Qingqing home, he saw his wife lying lazily on the sofa, looking exhausted.
"Dad, Mom looks so tired!" Lu Qingqing said with concern.
"Of course, she's had a long day and must be tired. Qingqing, go back to your room and put your schoolbag away, then read for a while. Dad will call you when dinner is ready," Mo Xunhuan said, patting his daughter's head.
"Okay." Lu Qingqing ran to her room with her schoolbag on her back.
Looking at his wife lying on the sofa, Mo Xunhuan felt a pang of heartache and guilt, so he took a blanket from the room and covered her with it.
After Mo Xunhuan left, Lu Xiaoxue, who was asleep, slowly opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling, and sighed.
Besides feeling a sense of crisis, Lu Xiaoxue felt a deep sense of helplessness and fear as outstanding women gradually appeared around her husband.
She wasn't stupid; of course she could sense the secret between her husband and Su Qi, including when she saw Lan Ruoxin tonight, she could clearly feel the change in the other woman.
But none of these are the most important things. What Lu Xiaoxue is really worried about is Mo Xunhuan himself. She is afraid of losing Mo Xunhuan, and even losing her daughter along with him.
This worry has been there since the beginning of their relationship. After all, she understands that she, being an ordinary person, is not good enough for Mo Xunhuan, and that being with Mo Xunhuan is a miracle in itself.
In addition, she had previously lost her mind and sacrificed her husband for her work, which alone would make Lu Xiaoxue unable to hold her head high in front of Mo Xunhuan for the rest of her life.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoxue didn't care about Mo Xunhuan's relationships with other women at all; she only cared about whether Mo Xunhuan would leave her. Her love was filled with humility and guilt.

Happy New Year everyone! (* ̄3 ̄)╭♡❀ I'll shower you with little flowers!
