After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 37

Afterward, Xu Muyan slowly woke up in Gu Zhi’s arms. She checked her phone and saw it was five in the afternoon. They had been at it for a full eight hours. Gu Zhi’s stamina was truly impressive. Xu Muyan didn’t know how many positions they’d gone through, and they hadn’t even eaten dinner.

Gu Zhi also woke up and groggily stroked her long hair. “What time is it?”

“Five o’clock.”

Five o’clock! It was the time the baby got out of school!

The two hurriedly rushed to the bathroom to wash their battered bodies. Gu Zhi turned her head and saw that Xu Muyan’s body was as plump and slender as before, now adorned with an extra layer of soft red. She couldn’t help but reach out to touch, only to be unceremoniously slapped by Xu Muyan.

“Look at the time! And you’re still trying to start something!”

Gu Zhi said in a wronged voice, “Oh.” I just wanted to touch you!

The two quickly got dressed and went downstairs. A little girl walked through the front door. Mu Baobao ran over and hugged Xu Muyan and Gu Zhi, sweetly calling out, “Mama, Mummy.”

Xu Muyan lovingly picked up Mu Baobao and asked, “Did Mu Baobao get bullied?”

Little Mu Baobao shook her head. “I didn’t get bullied at all. The teacher said I look very cute.”

“Such a good girl!” Xu Muyan rubbed her head. “Go wash your hands. It’s time to eat.”

Mu Baobao nodded and went to the bathroom to wash her hands by herself. Gu Zhi smiled with satisfaction. “Our Mu Baobao has grown up so much.”

Xu Muyan chuckled. “Just from going to school.”

The three ate dinner. Gu Zhi deliberately peeled a lot of shrimp for Xu Muyan. Mu Baobao watched and whined sweetly, “Mummy is so biased.”

Gu Zhi said, “Oh? Why do you say that?”

“Why do you only peel shrimp for Mama and not for me?” Little Mu Baobao’s small head was filled with a big question.

Gu Zhi was momentarily stunned. She had already grown so accustomed to peeling shrimp for Xu Muyan that she did it immediately whenever there was shrimp, not paying attention to anyone else.

Gu Zhi suddenly understood. “I can’t peel them for you.”

Mu Baobao was discouraged. “Why not?”

Gu Zhi chuckled: “Because your Mama is my wife. I only peel shrimp for my wife. Mu Baobao, you need to have your future wife peel them for you.”

Mu Baobao seemed confused. She scratched her head, leaving a big question mark.

A few days later, Gu Zhi was at the office when Xu Muyan called her after finishing a shoot. “Someone wants me to film a reality show. Do you want to go?”

Gu Zhi: “It wouldn’t happen to be a couples’ honeymoon trip, would it?”

Xu Muyan: “Of course not. It’s a trip with your wife and child.”

Gu Zhi: “Are you saying that little one is going too?”

Xu Muyan: “Yes. Aren’t you happy? Isn’t that a surprise?”

Gu Zhi: “…” Although Gu Zhi had only been on that one dating show with Xu Muyan, that was purely to pursue her and clear her own name. This time was different. She could establish the persona of a great mother!

“Let’s quickly sign up, hahahahaha!”

…

Mu Baobao returned from kindergarten looking downcast. Xu Muyan and Gu Zhi, who had been intimate upstairs moments ago, were already downstairs in the living room, as usual, waiting for their child to return.

“Mu Baobao!” The two rushed over and hugged their child.

Little Gu Mu, at such a young age, sighed like an adult. “Mummy, I’m so sad.”

Gu Zhi thought she had been bullied. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and widened her eyes. “What!!! What happened?”

The bodyguard, Mo Zhifan, quietly whispered to Gu Zhi, “CEO Gu, here’s what happened: Miss specifically peeled a shrimp for a little girl, but the girl is very cold and usually doesn’t have friends. She ignored Miss. Miss insisted on feeding it to her and accidentally got the shrimp on her backpack. The girl got angry and started fighting with Miss. So both of them were reprimanded by the teacher.”

Gu Zhi was stunned. The child was only a few years old, so being spoiled was normal, but actively provoking someone else was definitely wrong. Wait a minute, why did the child peel the shrimp for that little girl?

Xu Muyan had already managed to get the story out. She stroked Mu Baobao’s head. “Does Mu Baobao like her?”

Mu Baobao’s small face instantly turned pink. Puffing out her cheeks, she grumbled, “No, I don’t! I just saw she didn’t have much food, so I just wanted… I just wanted to peel a shrimp for her.”

Xu Muyan chuckled and didn’t expose her inner thoughts. Instead, she glared at Gu Zhi. “This is all your fault! You taught her this before!”

Gu Zhi: “?”

Xu Muyan then spoke to Mu Baobao. “In any case, the two of you shouldn’t have fought. Mama told you to be a generous child. So, you should take her some snacks and apologize to her, understand?”

Mu Baobao pouted. “But she completely ignored me.”

“Why did she ignore you?”

“Because that’s just how she is.”

“Then a smart Mu Baobao should figure out a way to make her smile. When she smiles at you, that means she wants to be friends with you.”

Mu Baobao seemed to genuinely be thinking of a solution and nodded happily.

Gu Zhi and Xu Muyan took Mu Baobao out for hot pot at Haidilao. As always, Gu Zhi always mixed the dipping sauce and cooked food for Xu Muyan’s bowl. But now it was different. She had to prepare three portions and cook a lot of food for both of them before she could get to her own.

Mu Baobao ate too quickly. The food was still hot, and she kept blowing on it with a “whoosh, whoosh.” Xu Muyan frowned. “Oh, be careful not to burn your mouth.” She handed the drink to Mu Baobao. Mu Baobao happily took a large sip and said somewhat pitifully, “Mama doesn’t let me drink soda. I can only have a few sips at times like this.”

Xu Muyan: “Mama is just worried you’ll get addicted to soda, darling. Soda isn’t very nutritious.”

Mu Baobao obediently nodded. She just wanted to be spoiled by her Mama.

Gu Zhi had finished cooking a piece of squid and handed it to Xu Muyan. “Mama, you eat first.”

Mu Baobao nodded. “Okay, I will also let Mama eat first in the future.”

Gu Zhi originally wanted to say, Don’t compete with me, but saying that to her own daughter would be too shameless. Gu Zhi naturally loved her daughter, but the daughter seemed overly dependent on Xu Muyan. How to put it? She sought her Mama for everything—bathing, playing, and even sleeping.

Every time Gu Zhi returned from the company planning to have a romantic night with Xu Muyan, she would find a small, white bundle in the bed. Mu Baobao would be drooling sweetly in Xu Muyan’s arms. Gu Zhi would be completely frantic. That was her warm, cozy spot!! But when Mu Baobao saw her, she would open her adorable eyes and softly call out, “Ah, Mummy~” Gu Zhi, who had planned to carry her back to her own room, would immediately soften. Let her sleep here!

Now Gu Zhi guessed that her relationship with the child was not as good as Xu Muyan’s.

Xu Muyan checked her messages. “Zhi-Zhi, I have an event soon. Take Mu Baobao home.”

Gu Zhi heard this and knew her chance had arrived. “Okay!”

Xu Muyan was displeased. “Why do you look so happy?”

Gu Zhi shook her head frantically. “Of course not. I’ll definitely be waiting for you in bed.”

Xu Muyan smiled with satisfaction, picked up her bag, and left for the filming location. Gu Zhi then took Mu Baobao home. In the car, Gu Zhi asked Mu Baobao in the back seat.

“Does Mu Baobao like Mummy?”

Mu Baobao didn’t understand why Gu Zhi asked this, and answered truthfully, “I like you, but Mummy doesn’t like Mu Baobao.”

“Why?” Gu Zhi’s heart tightened.

“Mummy likes Mama the most. Every time Mama appears, Mummy’s eyes only have Mama in them.” Mu Baobao answered with some grievance. Clearly, the child was sensitive enough to notice this at such a young age. Gu Zhi felt she had failed as a mother.

Gu Zhi’s eyes welled up. “Baby, Mummy actually loves you the most.”

Mu Baobao chuckled. “Then if Mama and Mu Baobao fell into the water, who would Mummy save?”

Gu Zhi: “Mummy would save both.” Gu Zhi wasn’t going to fall for that trap.

When they got home, Xu Muyan called. “Did you make it home?”

Gu Zhi grumbled: “We made it home, we made it home. You never called to ask when I came home alone!” She was clearly trying to sound intentionally angry.

Xu Muyan laughed uncontrollably and apologized and pleaded: “I’m sorry. Remember to change the baby into clean, warm pajamas when you bathe her, and be very gentle because her skin is tender. Don’t rub it red, or she might get a skin infection. Also, read her a bedtime story…”

Gu Zhi then realized a problem. Most of the time, she was stuck at the company to earn money for her wife and daughter. Although they had a nanny at home, Xu Muyan usually handled the care of the baby herself to ensure the best care. Gu Zhi always insisted on doing chores like cooking, but she had only bathed the baby a few times, and only with Xu Muyan.

Gu Zhi’s eyes became moist. She picked up Mu Baobao and cried, “Baby, I’m so sorry!!”

Mu Baobao, who didn’t understand what was happening, was completely confused. “Mummy~ I want ice cream.”

“No, you had hot pot already. If you eat ice cream now, you’ll get diarrhea.”

“Hmph, I thought Mummy was different from Mama!”

Gu Zhi asked annoyed, “How am I different?”

Mu Baobao showed an innocent look: “Mama likes to control me. I can’t eat lots of junk food, but Mummy is different. Mummy looks like she likes to eat junk food too.”

Huh! Gu Zhi pondered. Mu Baobao was right. She did love to eat junk food, and Xu Muyan often scolded her not to eat it. But she would secretly eat it. To set a good example for the child (and actually to avoid Xu Muyan’s wrath), Gu Zhi patted her chest. “Mummy isn’t eating junk food anymore. Mu Baobao can’t eat it either.”

Mu Baobao sighed in resignation: “Fine.”

“Go take a bath.”

The water temperature was just right. Mu Baobao undressed and went in, giggling as she had a water fight with Gu Zhi. Gu Zhi got angry: “Mu Baobao, listen to Mummy. Stop playing!”

Mu Baobao froze: “Mummy is so fierce! I don’t like Mummy anymore!”

What!!!!!

Gu Zhi held her head in her hands, collapsing: “Why don’t you like Mummy??”

Mu Baobao, her plan a success, giggled non-stop: “Mummy’s expression is so funny.”

Gu Zhi: “…” Who does this child take after!

Mu Baobao had her first little room, decorated adorably. Mu Baobao lay on the soft bed, her eyes fixed on Gu Zhi. Gu Zhi read her a bedtime story.

“Once upon a time, there was an ugly duckling…”

Mu Baobao yawned. Gu Zhi was delighted: “Are you going to sleep?”

Mu Baobao shook her head: “I don’t want to sleep yet. The story Mummy is telling is too cliché.”

Gu Zhi: “You child! What do you want to hear then?”

Mu Baobao’s eyes lit up. She chuckled: “Mummy, you have so many books in your study, why don’t you bring them and read to me?”

Gu Zhi thought: I have classics among those books. Reading classics to Mu Baobao could enhance her literary talent. I didn’t expect this child to be so unique. Truly my blood!

She immediately brought over a few classics and read: “Kong Yiji…”

Mu Baobao shook her head: “Not that one, not that one.”

Gu Zhi asked doubtfully: “Then what?”

Mu Baobao thought for a moment: “It’s called something like… Qíng Shēn Shēn Yǔ XX, Love Meets You, The Adventures of the Alpha Little Wife.”

Gu Zhi: “…”

These were not classics. They were clearly romance novels!! Although Mu Baobao had a large vocabulary, she replaced words she couldn’t read with “xx,” so the book she mentioned first was Romance in the Rain (Qing Shen Shen Yu Meng Meng).

Gu Zhi gritted her teeth: “No, these books are not for your age.” Gu Zhi suspected that Mu Baobao might have already read a little. After all, there were kissing scenes in there!! What if Xu Muyan found out!

Mu Baobao said “Oh” in a wronged voice but still asked, “Why can’t I read them?”

Gu Zhi sneered: “Because I don’t have those books!” Gu Zhi immediately went to the study and put all the romance novels in a cardboard box. She hid it in a secret place. Finally, Mu Baobao won’t see them.
