After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 39

In the afternoon, it was time for everyone to play a game. The children had to carry baskets to pick flowers, and the adults would make fresh flower cakes with the flowers the children brought back.

The small basket was bigger than Mu Baobao’s head. Mu Baobao walked with a wiggle, carrying the basket, looking incredibly cute.

Gu Zhi: “Baby, don’t walk too far, okay?”

Mu Baobao replied, “Okay.” However, after half an hour, all the other children returned with full baskets of flowers, but Mu Baobao’s basket only contained strawberries.

Gu Zhi exclaimed: “Weren’t you supposed to pick flowers? Why did you pick strawberries?”

Mu Baobao shook her head: “I saw strawberries nearby and thought they looked sweet, so I picked them for Mama and Mummy to eat.”

Xu Muyan gently asked, “Then why didn’t Mu Baobao pick any flowers?”

Mu Baobao took a bite of a strawberry and whispered quietly in her ear, “Because I thought the flowers were so pretty, it would be a shame to pick them.”

Mu Baobao’s words reminded Xu Muyan of the time she was pregnant. It wasn’t good to stay cooped up at home all day. Gu Zhi took time off work and drove her to see some flowers.

It was a small lavender garden. Usually, there were many people, but Gu Zhi booked the whole place for the day, so only they were inside. The sun was exceptionally bright, and the wind was gentle. Xu Muyan, wearing a bucket hat, walked out with Gu Zhi’s support.

She looked at the endless sea of lavender flowers, all purple. Bathed in the radiant sunlight, it looked like an oil painting—not breathtakingly spectacular, but beautiful enough to look at for a lifetime.

Xu Muyan asked, “Why did you choose lavender?”

Gu Zhi held her soft, boneless hand and smiled: “Because my wife’s pheromones are lavender. Isn’t it a perfect match for you?”

Xu Muyan pouted: “If I wasn’t by your side, would you need to sniff lavender to fall asleep?”

With her belly growing, Xu Muyan would wake up in the middle of the night, feeling extremely uncomfortable, but Gu Zhi never slept in another room. Instead, she even set an alarm to help her turn over. Day after day, Xu Muyan never heard a single complaint. In fact, she felt that Gu Zhi was incredibly caring, wishing she could swap places.

Gu Zhi shook her head: “I wouldn’t want that. You are you, and lavender is lavender. They are different.”

“How are they different?”

“Sister’s pheromones are just the scent of lavender. Your body has your unique scent. As long as it’s you, I can accept it all.”

Xu Muyan smiled sweetly. Gu Zhi often praised her and joked with her, and she was always happy to hear it.

After walking around, Xu Muyan was still immersed in the sea of flowers. Seeing her joy, Gu Zhi asked, “Mu Baobao is growing up, and we should move to a bigger villa so the child has enough space to play. How about I fill the courtyard with lavender?”

Xu Muyan nodded. When spring came next year, a courtyard full of lavender would surely be beautiful.

As dusk fell, it was time to go home. Gu Zhi said something to the gardener and then came over. Xu Muyan thought Gu Zhi would pick some lavender and make a bouquet for her, as she often gave her roses as little gifts to please her.

But when she got to the car, she saw Han Yun and a group of people loading lavender plants, still in the soil, onto a large truck. She couldn’t help but ask, “Zhi-Zhi, aren’t you picking the flowers?”

Gu Zhi laughed: “Picked flowers wither quickly. I’m taking the soil and everything to plant them directly in the courtyard.”

“But we haven’t bought a villa yet…” Xu Muyan was momentarily stunned. “Did you buy one?”

Gu Zhi nodded: “It’s still being renovated. When we were discussing it before, you liked one villa, so I bought it. But you’re so busy you forgot about it and never mentioned it to me, so I kept it as a surprise for you.”

Xu Muyan was thrilled. Her eyes sparkled: “I thought you would pick some flowers and give them to me first.”

“Oh? I won’t pick flowers myself. I give you flowers because flower shops only sell bouquets. I can’t exactly give you a potted plant, can I?”

“Why?”

Gu Zhi didn’t give a reason. She took her hand and led her into the car. She kissed her on the lips: “Picking flowers in front of you is like slaughtering a pig in front of its mother.”

Xu Muyan burst out laughing: “What kind of metaphor is that?”

“It means I don’t want to destroy beauty in front of a beautiful person.” Gu Zhi’s eyes twinkled, reflecting all the beautiful things around them.

Xu Muyan kissed her back: “You don’t know that once you become devoted, I really can’t pull myself away.”

Gu Zhi’s ears perked up. She was delighted to hear this. “Really?”

“Really!” Xu Muyan looked at her with a touch of admiration, her heart full of the person in front of her.

Xu Muyan smiled and snatched the strawberry from Mu Baobao.

Mu Baobao frowned: “Mama?”

“The strawberry hasn’t been washed yet.”

“Then did we lose the competition?”

“Technically, yes, you lost.” Xu Muyan glanced at Gu Zhi, her gaze growing softer. “But in Mama’s eyes, you didn’t lose.”

…

The next game was walking a high rope bridge. The children had to walk across it with their Alpha partners to get dinner at the destination. If they didn’t cross, they wouldn’t have dinner that night. Below was a small jungle, with several flower beds in bloom and butterflies fluttering about. In front of them was an iron cable walkway with gaps.

Mu Baobao clung to Gu Zhi’s thigh and whined softly: “Mummy, I’m scared~”

Gu Zhi carefully dressed her in protective gear and comforted her: “Don’t be afraid. Mummy will protect you.”

Mu Baobao meekly said, “Oh.” After all, she was just a child. Even though there were air cushions and nets underneath the walkway, the height was still terrifying. All the other children had started crying and fussing.

Xu Feng held her own child and kept soothing her: “Oh, oh, little darling. Don’t cry.” The child continued to cry. Without completing the task, they wouldn’t even have dinner.

The Omegas watching below were extremely worried. Xu Muyan felt a vague anxiety. If it was too much, they shouldn’t do it. Skipping dinner wouldn’t matter. They couldn’t traumatize the child.

Unexpectedly, Mu Baobao actively raised her hand: “Mummy, I must cross. I want to get dinner for Mama, or Mama will be hungry, and that’s not good.”

—Mu Baobao is so brave. I love her, I love her. —I really love Mu Baobao. She’s such a sensible child! —She’s truly the daughter of the Movie Queen and the CEO. She has excellent upbringing.

Gu Zhi rubbed her head: “I knew Mu Baobao was the best.”

Gu Zhi then positioned Mu Baobao in front. She followed closely and cautiously behind, holding out her hands to guard her, afraid that Mu Baobao might stumble and fall. Fortunately, there was no danger, and they quickly reached the tower ahead and received their dinner for the day.

Mu Baobao cheered: “Yay, Mummy, I got dinner!”

Gu Zhi applauded and cheered for her. She’s my child!

Back at their lodging, Xu Muyan volunteered to cook. Gu Zhi insisted on joining her: “I want to cook with you.”

Xu Muyan pushed her toward Mu Baobao. Mu Baobao was still playing with building blocks and eating cotton candy on the bed, looking at them with a strange expression. The adults spoke a lot of words that Mu Baobao didn’t understand.

Until—Xu Muyan pointed at Mu Baobao: “The baby is going to the highest class in kindergarten. Remember to tutor her.”

Mu Baobao: “…”

Mu Baobao extended the half-eaten cotton candy to Gu Zhi: “Does Mummy want to eat some?”

Gu Zhi took a bite and asked, “Did you have fun in the game today?”

Mu Baobao answered without hesitation: “Yes, of course, it’s fun to play with Mama and Mummy.”

Gu Zhi murmured: “Then how was it when you were at home before?”

Mu Baobao pouted: “Before, when Mama was home, Mummy had to go to work. When Mummy was home, Mama had to go to work. Haven’t we not been to the amusement park in a long, long time?”

Gu Zhi was slightly taken aback. When she and Xu Muyan were both taking care of Mu Baobao, the baby was still nursing. After Mu Baobao turned two or three, they gradually returned to their careers. It was true that the two of them rarely spent time with Mu Baobao together. Gu Zhi felt an urge to resign, but the Gu Group was a huge enterprise, and she couldn’t give it up.

She stroked Mu Baobao’s head: “Whatever you want to do, Mama and Mummy will spend more time with you.”

Mu Baobao cheered: “Okay! But I want to go back to kindergarten.”

Gu Zhi was puzzled: “Why?”

Mu Baobao didn’t say anything, just bit her lip and smiled foolishly. Because there was a little friend in kindergarten she wanted to see.

At night, the three of them squeezed onto the small bed. Mu Baobao slept in the middle, holding a hand on each side. She was very excited. Before long, she fell asleep.

Gu Zhi whispered, “Sister, are you tired today?”

Xu Muyan turned sideways, smiled, and shook her head. Gu Zhi placed her other hand on Xu Muyan’s body. “Mu Baobao said she was very happy today.”

Xu Muyan nodded: “I was happy too.”

“Mu Baobao was happy because she was with us. Was that the reason for you too?”

Xu Muyan smiled faintly: “Not entirely.”

“What do you mean?” Gu Zhi leaned in and rubbed her nose against hers.

“Sometimes being with you is also very happy, for example, in certain settings.” Xu Muyan said softly, slipping her hand in.

Gu Zhi gasped. Her body was practically lunging to embrace her, but a little darling was still nestled in the middle. Darn it!

In this situation, Xu Muyan would never initiate anything. So why did she suddenly feel passionate? She did it on purpose!

Xu Muyan laughed out loud, but muffled it so as not to wake Mu Baobao. Gu Zhi’s face was completely flushed. Damn it! She got touched and was still blushing, even though they were an old married couple.

After the first location’s filming ended, the three of them returned home. Gu Lan and Gao Qi had been waiting for a long time. Mu Baobao happily hugged them: “Grandpa and Grandma!”

Gao Qi cupped Mu Baobao’s face and kissed her: “My precious granddaughter, Grandma missed you so much.” The group chatted and laughed as they walked out, completely forgetting about their daughter and daughter-in-law in the house.

Gu Zhi scratched her head: “Huh, did they even forget their daughter?”

Xu Muyan chuckled: “Maybe they want us to have some alone time.”

Gu Zhi was delighted to hear this. She held her arm: “I want to be Sister’s pendant.”

Xu Muyan asked curiously: “What does that mean?”

Gu Zhi tutted: “You don’t even know this popular phrase? Are you even in the entertainment industry?”

Xu Muyan glared at her: “Then tell me what it means?”

Gu Zhi giggled: “It means—” She extended a finger and mimed a back-and-forth motion.

Xu Muyan couldn’t help but punch her and scolded, “Shameless!”

Gu Zhi hugged her tightly and bit her neck: “What’s there to be ashamed of in front of my wife!”

Xu Muyan gasped: “You… you only say such vulgar things.” She was both delighted and shy.

“The other night, the baby was between us, and you still touched me. Why is it your turn to be shy now?”

Xu Muyan was speechless. She just wanted to see Gu Zhi’s reaction then.

Gu Zhi bit her ear: “Sister, do you still want to touch me now?”

“Gu Zhi, don’t talk near my ear.” Xu Muyan felt ticklish, and more so, embarrassed.

“This is our home. Why are you embarrassed?” Gu Zhi gently laid Xu Muyan on the sofa, her hair fanning out. She leaned over and saw Xu Muyan’s captivating eyes and flushed cheeks. So cute. Gu Zhi’s throat tightened. She couldn’t help but pin down Xu Muyan’s struggling hands.

Xu Muyan slightly frowned: “Where is Aunt Shang?”

“She just texted me that she went grocery shopping. She’ll probably be back in about an hour and a half.”

“Then… should we go to the bedroom?”

“Why? An hour is enough for us to play around in the living room.”

“It’s not enough.” Xu Muyan said indignantly. Considering their past, it really wasn’t enough.

“I know, but…” Gu Zhi laughed softly: “One spot is enough.”

Xu Muyan tried to speak again, but then felt a cool sensation on her chest. Gu Zhi looked for a long, long time, and finally swallowed. Xu Muyan felt that the woman’s movements were becoming increasingly proficient.

Gu Zhi cautiously asked, “Here I come.”

Xu Muyan hummed, it wasn’t the first time anyway.

The small stream in the courtyard flowed. One leaf drifted down, then a second, followed by a third. The stream seemed to tremble, as if it couldn’t bear the lightness of the leaves.

Afterward. Xu Muyan was covered in sweat. She lay blankly on Gu Zhi’s body. Gu Zhi carried Xu Muyan upstairs. She checked the time. One hour was just right, but for her, it wasn’t enough.

Xu Muyan wrapped her arms around her neck and gasped: “Let’s go to the dressing room.” That was Xu Muyan’s exclusive dressing room, with clothes lining the walls.

Gu Zhi raised an eyebrow: “Why does Sister like that place?” Generally, the sofa, bedroom, and bathroom were their preferred choices.

“The dressing room has a bigger mirror.” Xu Muyan was still blushing. “I want to see what expression Zhi-Zhi has when you’re behind me.”

Gu Zhi’s throat tightened again. WTF, I never thought of that! I couldn’t see clearly in the bathroom either!!
