Female-dominated society: My wife is an incompetent wife

Chapter 6: My Boss Invited Me to Dinner

"It's...it's okay, it's just some spilled coffee, it's not very hot." Lan Ruoxin took out a tissue and bent down to wipe herself, pretending to be calm.

"That's good. This child... is too naughty. I'll definitely scold her when we get back."

After he finished speaking, the office fell silent, a slight tension and awkwardness settling in.

Unable to sit still, Mo Xunhuan stood up and said, "It's about time. I should take the child back."

"Okay, then I'll take you there," Lan Ruoxin said, standing up.

"You're going to deliver it? That's not a good idea!"

"What's wrong with that? We're just visiting classmates, let's go."

The three arrived at the parking shed, where they saw a high-end car parked there, estimated to cost around 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.

"Wow, you're doing pretty well these days! You even have such a nice car!" Mo Xunhuan, sitting in the passenger seat, looked around the car in surprise.

"It's alright, just average. The main reason for putting it in the kindergarten is for convenience when going out," Lan Ruoxin said modestly.

"Then why did you take the bus to kindergarten last time?" Mo Xunhuan asked curiously.

"Last time it was because someone treated me to dinner, and I drank too much, so someone sent me home," Lan Ruoxin explained.

"Oh, is that so... Oh, there's a phone call." Mo Xunhuan picked up the phone and answered it.

"Hey honey, I'm taking the kids home now."

Hearing Mo Xunhuan's gentle tone, Lan Ruoxin, who was driving, frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced over.

"The manager invited me to dinner and asked me to bring my child, but is that really necessary?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go. Just send me the address..."

After hanging up the phone, Mo Xunhuan looked apologetically at Lan Ruoxin, "I'm sorry, Ruoxin, my wife's manager is treating us to dinner. If it's convenient for you, could you give me a ride there?"

"Look at what you're saying. Doing things for the school beauty, what's with the talk of convenience?" Lan Ruoxin smiled slightly at him, turned the steering wheel to move the car away from the center of the city.

Ten minutes later, in a Japanese restaurant, as Mo Xunhuan opened the door, Lu Xiaoxue and Su Qi were sitting inside drinking sake and eating sashimi.

"Honey, you're here! Come and sit down!" Lu Xiaoxue waved to Mo Xunhuan as soon as she saw him.

"Oh, come in, Qingqing." Mo Xunhuan took off his shoes and brought his daughter in, sitting down next to his wife.

The family of three sat together, while Su Qi was the only one opposite them, creating a stark contrast in the scene.

"Xunhuan, good evening~" Su Qi took the initiative to greet him.

"Hmm, good evening, Manager Su. I'm late today, so I'll punish myself with a drink first." After sitting down, Mo Xunhuan poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

This straightforward personality instantly transported Su Qi back to her high school days. The reason she had a crush on Mo Xunhuan back then was because of the scene of Mo Xunhuan drinking freely and unrestrainedly at the class reunion at the beginning of the school year.

Compared to him at that time, all the other boys in the class became mere supporting characters, not worth mentioning.

"I didn't expect you to still have such a huge capacity for alcohol, that's amazing!" Su Qi rested her chin on her hand, looking at him with utter infatuation and tenderness.

"It's not like before. Since I got married and had children, I don't drink much anymore, just a little bit occasionally," Mo Xunhuan said.

Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Lu Xiaoxue was suddenly overcome with jealousy. She immediately snatched her husband's wine glass and said to Su Qi, "Manager, thank you for taking care of me at work this time. Let me toast you."

"Okay." Su Qi readily accepted.

As the three of them ate and drank, chatting and laughing and reminiscing about their high school days, Lu Xiaoxue's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from her supervisor.

"Hello, supervisor, what's up?"

"Do you urgently need me to go back to the company? But it's already after get off work. Can we do it tomorrow?" Lu Xiaoxue glanced at Su Qi and asked in a low voice.

"What? Tomorrow? By tomorrow it will be too late. You were just promoted to team leader, and instead of trying to perform well, you're just thinking about slacking off. Do you even want to work properly and develop your career in the company?" the supervisor scolded.

"Yes, of course I want to! I'll go right now!" Lu Xiaoxue replied hastily.

"Hmph, hurry up and come here, don't waste time!"

After ending the call, Lu Xiaoxue looked at Mo Xunhuan with a conflicted expression, "Honey, the company needs me to go back, or maybe you..."

"It's alright, you can go ahead," Mo Xunhuan said.

"Yes, go ahead and do what you need to do! You've just been promoted to team leader, so you need to perform well to secure your position. As for Xunhuan... I'll take care of them. I'll take them back after dinner." Su Qi picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and said calmly.

Lu Xiaoxue originally planned to send Mo Xunhuan back first, since Su Qi was there and she dared not leave her husband alone with this woman.

But Su Qi had already said so much. If she forced Mo Xunhuan to go back, it would make him lose face and might cause her trouble at work.

"Then... honey, be careful, don't drink too much," Lu Xiaoxue reminded him.

"Don't worry!" Mo Xunhuan leaned in and kissed her, gently reassuring her.

Lu Xiaoxue stood up, glanced at her daughter who was engrossed in eating, patted her, and reminded her, "Qingqing, remember not to run around. Stay by Daddy's side at all times. Let Daddy be with you no matter what, understand?"

"Yes, I know."

After giving the two instructions, Lu Xiaoxue had no choice but to leave the private room.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, the room fell silent, with only Lu Qingqing continuing to eat, the sound of her chewing filling the air.

"Your daughter... has a pretty good appetite!" Su Qi said, glancing at Lu Qingqing who was eating with her head down.

"This girl really can eat a lot, just like her mother, she can eat a lot but doesn't gain weight." Mo Xunhuan rubbed her daughter's head, her face full of love and affection.

Su Qi couldn't help but envy Lu Xiaoxue. She was clearly ordinary and unremarkable, yet she married a stunningly handsome man like Mo Xunhuan and had such an adorable daughter.

Most importantly, despite the family's difficult living conditions, Mo Xunhuan did not go out and have affairs.

When Su Qi visited their home last time, Mo Xunhuan was washing vegetables and cooking, and the food she made was delicious, which made Su Qi extremely envious and jealous!

"Try the sashimi here, it tastes pretty good." Su Qi picked up a piece of salmon and handed it to Mo Xunhuan's bowl.

"I want to eat too." Lu Qingqing reached for her chopsticks, but Mo Xunhuan slapped them away.

"You're a child, you can't eat that."

"snort!"

"It's okay, I'll just order some more cooked food." With that, Su Qi picked up her phone and started ordering again.

After placing her order, Su Qi put her phone on the table, then lay back on her side, turning over in her sleep.

"What's wrong?" Mo Xunhuan asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just that sitting like this is a bit uncomfortable. I work a lot, and my back is a little sore."
