Female-dominated society: My wife is an incompetent wife

Chapter 8: Child's Birth

Su Qi: Sapphire Value (99%)

Morbidity score (5%)

Mo Xunhuan (Host): Corruption Value (7%)

The system warns that mere defense will not change the outcome; only proactive action can secure control! (Beware of corruption)

Faced with the system's reminder, Mo Xunhuan frowned, no longer able to ignore Su Qi's unruly behavior beside him.

The next second, he grabbed her slender waist and pulled her into his arms.

Faced with Mo Xunhuan's sudden initiative, Su Qi also became more sober. Her dazed eyes revealed doubt as she stared straight at Mo Xunhuan.

"Seeking...pleasure?"

Mo Xunhuan leaned close to her ear and warned in a magnetic voice, "Taking advantage once is enough; being too greedy won't end well!"

Faced with this warning that was both forceful and threatening, Su Qi was neither nervous nor angry. Instead, her pretty face flushed even more, and her eyes revealed anticipation and excitement.

"If that's the case, then I hope... I'll be punished severely~"

--------

Since being promoted to group leader, the family of three's life has gradually improved, and Lu Xiaoxue's mindset has returned to normal.

However, Mo Xunhuan and Su Qi met more and more frequently, sometimes outside and sometimes at home.

Although nothing outrageous happened, Mo Xunhuan was always a little nervous, since Su Qi hadn't given up on him and would inadvertently take advantage of him every time they met.

Besides that, what gave Mo Xunhuan a headache was his daughter.

This girl is so troublesome that her teachers call her every few days, either because she's fighting with classmates or causing trouble during class.

Mo Xunhuan often warned Lu Qingqing, but while the girl made promises at home, she was a different story once she went out.

"Am I raising a demon child?" Mo Xunhuan sometimes thought to himself.

That morning, Mo Xunhuan was taking her daughter to kindergarten when Lan Ruoxin stopped her and invited her to have coffee together.

In the coffee shop, Lan Ruoxin recounted to Mo Xunhuan what Lu Qingqing had done in kindergarten, making Mo Xunhuan want to crawl into a hole—it was so embarrassing.

"Sprinkling water while the gardener is watering the trees, and running around the playground while being chased by the PE teacher?" Mo Xunhuan stared wide-eyed at Lan Ruoxin in disbelief.

Lan Ruoxin shrugged and smiled helplessly, "Your child is really too naughty. Nowadays, everyone in the school knows Lu Qingqing. She can be considered a school bully."

Mo Xunhuan: …………

"What should I do? My child is obedient at home but naughty at school. I can't manage both!" Mo Xunhuan said, scratching his head.

"Why not?"

"Do you have a way?"

Lan Ruoxin smiled slightly and asked in return, "Are you still writing a novel?"

"Uh...yes, although I'm still just a nobody." Mo Xunhuan scratched his head awkwardly.

For some reason, it seems like this world is targeting him. He tried to imitate the popular novels from his previous life, but he wasn't well-received here. Even with full attendance bonuses, he only made two or three thousand a month.

It's probably that damn system's doing again!

"Since you don't have a proper job, I think you could come to our kindergarten. That way you can earn money and take care of your child at the same time. What do you think?" Lan Ruoxin suggested.

"Work at a kindergarten?" Mo Xunhuan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"But I don't have a kindergarten teacher's license. What could I do there?"

"Kindergartens don't only have teachers. You can clean, do some light chores, or help out in the kitchen. By the way, you can cook, right? Qingqing told me you're a great cook. Chopping vegetables shouldn't be a problem!"

"No problem, these are no big deal," Mo Xunhuan said confidently.

Lan Ruoxin nodded, tapping her fingers on the table. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If you'd like, you can work as an assistant in the kitchen. I can pay you... 5000 a month, how about that?"

"5000!" Mo Xunhuan's eyes widened.

"I know the pay is a bit low, but the work is really easy. You'll only be busy for a short while each day, and you don't have to do anything the rest of the time. Plus, you can leave anytime if you need to, just tell me." Lan Ruoxin hurriedly explained, seemingly worried that Mo Xunhuan would refuse.

"No, 5000 is already a lot. I never expected to earn so much money just for helping out."

"Oh, so you agree?" Lan Ruoxin's eyes lit up.

"Hmm!" Mo Xunhuan nodded, crossed his arms, leaned back in the chair, and sighed.

"Actually, I had wanted to go out and work before, but Xiaoxue disagreed, afraid that I would overwork myself."

"Don't worry about that. You can tell her with peace of mind that things are very relaxed here at our kindergarten, and you're not the only one helping out. I won't let you get tired," Lan Ruoxin said very seriously.

"Thank you!" Looking into the other person's sincere eyes, Mo Xunhuan was deeply grateful.

………………

That evening, after putting his daughter to sleep, Mo Xunhuan came out of the guest room and saw Lu Xiaoxue lying on the sofa in the living room, wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown with her shoulders half exposed.

Since her promotion to team leader, Lu Xiaoxue has been a bit busier, but her energy has returned to normal. As long as she doesn't come back too late or get too tired, she'll definitely come at least once.

"It's already 8:30, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Mo Xunhuan took a bottle of chilled drink from the refrigerator, sat down next to her, and started drinking.

Lu Xiaoxue casually leaned on his lap, watching TV and taking advantage of him, saying lazily, "What's the rush? It's only 8:30. I used to go to bed at least at midnight."

"That was before. What did you think you were, some kind of energetic girl? You had to work so long during the day and didn't go to bed early at night. How could you possibly have any energy?" Mo Xunhuan said gently, stroking her hair.

However, this gentleness struck a nerve with Lu Xiaoxue. She immediately sat up, staring intently at Mo Xunhuan. "What do you mean? Are you mocking me for being old? Do you think I'm no good?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hmph, you may not have said it, but that's what you're thinking." Lu Xiaoxue sat directly on Mo Xunhuan's lap, leaned in and covered his mouth, not giving him any chance to explain.

Mo Xunhuan was completely bewildered by this guy. He hadn't even said a few words yet, and she was already acting recklessly. It was obvious that she wanted it!

After a while, Lu Xiaoxue snatched the drink from Mo Xunhuan's hand and took a big gulp. The icy taste made her shiver, but it still couldn't extinguish the fire in her heart.

"What's wrong with you again? Didn't we do it last night? I didn't let you go hungry," Mo Xunhuan asked, puzzled.
