Chapter 1: The Incompetent Wife
"Xiaoxue, you don't want to lose this job, do you?"
In the cramped living room, a mature woman in black stockings and sunglasses sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, exuding an air of superiority.
Opposite her, her subordinate Lu Xiaoxue, dressed in an OL business suit, had her head down, and a look of worry appeared on her beautiful face.
Her furrowed brows and hesitant eyes revealed her anxious and conflicted state of mind.
"Manager Su, I... I really need this job, please let me go, okay?" Lu Xiaoxue knelt down on the ground with a thud, begging the other party.
Faced with her subordinate's pleas, Su Qi, a former high school classmate, felt no sympathy but rather a sense of relief and satisfaction.
"Beg me? Hmph, back in high school, I also begged you to leave him. Why didn't you agree back then?" Su Qi took off her sunglasses, her sharp eyes staring straight at Lu Xiaoxue.
"I...I really enjoy seeking pleasure..." Lu Xiaoxue bit her red lips tightly, her eyes gradually turning red.
Su Qi was so angry she laughed, then slammed her fist on the sofa. "You're acting like nobody likes him! You like him, but I don't? You promised to help me pursue him, but what did you do? You hooked up with him yourself! What kind of friend are you?"
Su Qi's reprimand left Lu Xiaoxue speechless.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. Either do as I say today, or get out of the company tomorrow. You choose!" With that, Su Qi threw a packet of medicine powder on the table.
Looking at the powdered medicine on the table, Lu Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment before glancing towards the bathroom. She could hear the sound of water coming from inside; her husband, Mo Xunhuan, was taking a shower.
"I...I really can't lose this job, I really can't..." Lu Xiaoxue picked up the medicine powder with tears in her eyes and poured it into a glass of water.
Not long after, Mo Xunhuan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. His handsome appearance made the beautiful manager Su Qi fall in love with him. This was the person she had been secretly in love with all her life, Mo Xunhuan, the school beauty from high school.
"Xunhuan! Drink... have some water..." Lu Xiaoxue stepped forward with a water glass and nervously handed it to the other person.
"Thanks~" Mo Xunhuan gently patted her head, took the water glass and drank it all in one gulp.
A few minutes later, Mo Xunhuan held his forehead, feeling dizzy and sleepy.
"Seeking pleasure!" Lu Xiaoxue quickly helped him up.
"I'm a little...sleepy, so tired!"
"Then let me help you to bed!" With that, Lu Xiaoxue helped him toward the bedroom.
Su Qi sat anxiously in the living room. This was the closest she had ever been to Mo Xunhuan. Finally, she could fulfill her wish to have him, to possess him, even if only once!
Soon, Lu Xiaoxue slowly walked out of the bedroom and came to Su Qi.
"Everything is... all arranged!"
"Hmm, you're smart to know what's good for you." Su Qi nodded in satisfaction and got up to head towards the bedroom.
"Wait a minute!" Just then, Lu Xiaoxue grabbed Su Qi's arm and asked in a suppressed voice, "What about my job..."
"Don't worry, there won't be any problem with work."
Su Qi turned her head, patted her wrist, and said with a smile, "Not only that, I will also ask you for your nomination for the group leader election, and I will vote for you then."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief and released Su Qi's arm.
Just as Su Qi reached the bedroom door, Lu Xiaoxue suddenly turned around and called out to her, "Could you... be a little gentler?"
Hearing this, Su Qi's lips curled up slightly, and she turned back to look at Lu Xiaoxue. "Don't worry, this is my first time too. I will cherish your man, even more than you do!"
After saying that, Su Qi closed the bedroom door.
With a thud, Lu Xiaoxue knelt on the living room floor, her eyes already red, and she began to sob.
"I'm sorry, Xunhuan, it's my fault. I'm an incompetent wife..."
Inside the bedroom, after closing and locking the door, Su Qi listened to the sobbing outside and said with a cold laugh, "So you've finally met your match!"
Then, she walked to the bedside and sat down. Looking at Mo Xunhuan lying on the bed, her eyes softened, and she reached out her jade hand to stroke his cheek.
"I'm sorry, Xunhuan, I know this is really going too far, really shameless. But I have no other choice; it's the only way I can get you..."
...............
It was evening when the bedroom door was finally opened.
Lu Xiaoxue, whose eyes were already red and swollen from crying, hurriedly went over, only to see Su Qi walking out slowly, her clothes disheveled, leaning against the wall.
"Su Qi, you..." Lu Xiaoxue felt a mix of emotions upon seeing this scene.
Three hours, a full three hours!
Upon seeing Lu Xiaoxue, Su Qi immediately straightened up, raised her hand to brush a strand of hair from her forehead, and said in a seemingly calm manner, "He's nothing special, just someone you treat like a treasure."
Although she said she didn't care, her trembling legs said it all.
If you didn't really like it, how could you possibly go to this extent on your first time?
"Now that you've gotten what you wanted, could you please stop bothering me with seeking pleasure?" Lu Xiaoxue asked.
Upon hearing this, Su Qi sneered. She stepped forward and poked Lu Xiaoxue's chest with her hand, saying in a threatening tone, "You need to understand that nothing is up to you now, and I have no reason to make any guarantees to you."
"But……"
"Don't forget the team leader position; you wouldn't have gotten it without my support!"
Faced with Su Qi's threat, Lu Xiaoxue clenched her fists in anger, but could only silently endure it and whispered, "Yes!"
Seeing Lu Xiaoxue's frustrated and resentful expression, Su Qi gave a mocking snort, casually pulled out a card and tossed it to her, "I heard you haven't paid your mortgage for three months, right? There's 20,000 in this card, take it!"
After Su Qi left, Lu Xiaoxue picked up the card and went to the bedroom.
But upon entering, the scene before her eyes broke her heart, and she collapsed to her knees with a thud.
The disheveled sheets, the heavy odor, and the hickeys all over Mo Xunhuan's body all indicated that a fierce battle had taken place here.
Lu Xiaoxue immediately opened the windows to ventilate the room, then took Mo Xunhuan to the bathroom to take a shower and cleaned the room.
After doing all this, Lu Xiaoxue silently left the room and went to the living room, where she lay down on the sofa and cried alone.
Inside the bedroom, Mo Xunhuan, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, stared quietly at the ceiling, and let out a long sigh.
Actually... he knows everything and understands everything.
Even though his wife did those things, Mo Xunhuan did not resent her, because he knew that his wife was on the verge of collapse, and all of this was because of him!
--------
This is not Mo Xunhuan's original world. Ten years ago, he transmigrated to this matriarchal world, experienced high school and university life, fell in love with his wife Lu Xiaoxue, and had a daughter after marriage.
