Chapter 25: National Film Emperor - Han Xiyue
The next second, Mo Xunhuan suddenly sat up, panting heavily and covered in sweat.
"Phew...it was a dream!"
Well!
With a muffled groan, Lu Xiaoxue raised her head, glaring at him with displeasure. "You want to kill me?!"
"Huh?" Mo Xunhuan looked confused, but he quickly realized what was happening and angrily grabbed the other person's ear.
"Making trouble so early in the morning, don't you get tired?"
"Ouch... I'm hungry~"
"Eat if you're hungry, you son of a bitch..."
The scene shifts to the kitchen, where Mo Xunhuan is already preparing breakfast.
I get up late on weekends, but I don't have to go to work, so I can take my time making breakfast.
Lu Xiaoxue's work situation has been quite good recently, and she receives bonuses from time to time, which has improved the family's life considerably.
For breakfast, each person gets a fried egg, a fried sausage, a bowl of mushroom porridge, and two plates of cold dishes.
"Dad, I'm hungry. Is breakfast ready?" Lu Qingqing, who had just woken up, stood at the kitchen door, rubbing her eyes.
"Almost done, go wash up first!"
"oh!"
Lu Qingqing had just entered the bathroom when she heard an excited scream coming from inside. Her mother ran out excitedly.
"Husband, husband..."
Lu Xiaoxue ran to the kitchen, hugged Mo Xunhuan from behind who was cooking, and kissed him several times on the cheek.
"Damn it, what are you doing? You scared me!" Mo Xunhuan cursed in fright and glared at her as he turned around.
"I got paid! I got paid!" Lu Xiaoxue exclaimed excitedly, holding her phone.
"Salary!" Mo Xunhuan's eyes lit up. He grabbed the phone and checked the message. His salary had been deposited into his account. His salary for the month he was promoted to team leader was 19800 yuan.
"19800, that's a lot!"
"Yes, but the salary definitely won't be that much. The director told me before that there would be a bonus for being in charge of project tasks, but I didn't expect it to be this much, almost 2!" Lu Xiaoxue was extremely excited.
Last month was indeed very frustrating for Lu Xiaoxue. She had to work overtime all the time and also had to be wary of her old classmate's manager sneaking into her home.
But now, seeing such a large salary, my previous frustration has vanished.
"Wow, that's amazing, honey! You earn so much in just one month!" Mo Xunhuan patted her head and praised her.
"Hehe, now you know how amazing I am, aren't you going to reward me?" Lu Xiaoxue pouted proudly.
"Okay!" Mo Xunhuan leaned in and kissed her.
It was supposed to be just a brief kiss, but Lu Xiaoxue ended up wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a passionate kiss.
"Dad, I'm done washing up... Oh dear!" Just as the two were getting really into their kiss, Lu Qingqing finished washing up and came to the kitchen door. Seeing this scene, she immediately covered her eyes with her hands in embarrassment.
"So embarrassing..."
Realizing what was happening, Mo Xunhuan shoved Lu Xiaoxue away. "That's enough. If you really want a reward, wait until tonight. Take your daughter out of here and stop causing trouble."
"Hehe, you said it yourself, so you have to listen to me tonight~" Lu Xiaoxue happily kissed him on the cheek, then turned and left the kitchen with her daughter.
"This guy..." Mo Xunhuan smiled helplessly, shook his head, and turned back to continue serving rice.
Five minutes later, the family of three sat at the dining table eating breakfast while watching the morning news.
"Recently, the fantasy adventure film 'Red Moon,' starring national film star Han Xiyue, was released, and its box office revenue exceeded 120 million yuan on its opening day, becoming the highest-grossing film in China this year..."
Watching the news broadcast on TV, Lu Qingqing, a fan of Han Xiyue, was extremely excited. "Wow, it's Han Xiyue! She's so beautiful and cool..."
"Yes, I'm a fan of hers too. I've been watching this movie every night lately, it's really popular." Lu Xiaoxue said while watching TV and drinking her porridge, appearing perfectly normal on the surface.
Mo Xunhuan, sitting opposite, didn't think so. He frowned, reached under the table and pinched hard, and then Lu Xiaoxue screamed.
"Ouch...it hurts, why do you always pinch people?" Lu Xiaoxue, sitting opposite, gasped and complained with a resentful look.
"Nonsense, if you didn't cause trouble, would I be happy to pinch you?" Mo Xunhuan retorted.
"Tch, it's just flirting between husband and wife. We were fine before. What happened to you? You've lost all your charm." Lu Xiaoxue pouted.
Mo Xunhuan glared at her angrily, then kicked her under the table. "You still have the nerve to say that? Can you compare things now to before? Our daughter's right here. Do you think it's just the two of us living alone?"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Lu Xiaoxue avoided Mo Xunhuan's gaze and turned to the television, changing the subject to chat with her daughter.
"Qingqing, you like Sister Han Xiyue too, right?"
"Yes, I like her! Sister Han Xiyue is the most popular idol right now! She can sing, dance, and act very well. She's practically an all-around idol!" Lu Qingqing said excitedly.
"Hmm, you have great taste!" Lu Xiaoxue gave her daughter a thumbs up.
"Tch, it's one thing for you to be a fan of celebrities, but you even bring your daughter along to be one?" Mo Xunhuan said with dissatisfaction.
"Oh, what's wrong with being a fan? Idols have positive aspects too. Besides, didn't you like her a lot back in college? You even worked as her assistant for a while!"
"My roommate liked her and insisted on dragging me to her campus concert, and that's how I ended up being chosen as her assistant," Mo Xunhuan explained.
"But you can refuse!"
"Why should I refuse her salary? You were broke back in college. If I hadn't been working part-time everywhere, who would have paid for your hotel expenses? You would have been broke in less than half a month," Mo Xunhuan retorted.
Lu Xiaoxue: …………
Listening to her parents' conversation, Lu Qingqing looked at her mother in disbelief, "No way, Mom, you're a grown woman, and Dad has to pay for the hotel room?"
"Uh... well... I mainly need to go out and have fun, and my monthly allowance is only 1000 yuan, which is not enough at all," Lu Xiaoxue explained awkwardly.
"Then why don't you go out and do part-time work?"
"Tch, her? She went out to work as a waitress, fell several times on her first day, paid the boss 50 yuan out of pocket, and got fired," Mo Xunhuan mocked.
"Ah!" Lu Qingqing gasped, looking at her mother with disgust and disbelief.
"My God, Mom, how could you be so useless? I really don't understand how Dad could have fallen for you. It's a miracle he's put up with you all these years!"
Lu Xiaoxue: o(╥﹏╥)o
Being called a good-for-nothing by her daughter was incredibly disheartening for Lu Xiaoxue! But she had to admit that she was indeed very mediocre; apart from her decent looks, she was good for nothing in every other aspect.
Among classmates, relatives, friends, and colleagues, the most praiseworthy thing about him is that he married an extremely handsome husband!
