After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 40
For the second outing, Mu Baobao was used to the routine. Even before the film crew arrived, she dressed herself and went to wake up Gu Zhi and Xu Muyan.
Mu Baobao: “Mama, Mummy, wake up, wake up.”
Gu Zhi, still groggy, checked the time: “What time is it?!”
Xu Muyan had to open the door and hug Mu Baobao, bringing her inside. Mu Baobao leaned against Xu Muyan, asking blankly, “Why aren’t you two up yet?”
Gu Zhi shushed her: “Baby, we still have five hours before we get up. You’ve only slept for three hours.”
Xu Muyan placed Mu Baobao between them: “Let’s sleep together.”
Mu Baobao was too excited to sleep: “Yay! I get to sleep with Mama and Mummy again!”
The second destination was the grasslands. Looking at the vast, boundless grassland, Gu Zhi became excited in the car, like a child. Xu Muyan wondered if she had brought along two little rascals.
Gu Zhi linked arms with Xu Muyan: “Sister, I can ride a horse now.”
Xu Muyan often rode horses when she filmed historical dramas, so it wasn’t rare for her. But Gu Zhi seemed to have never ridden a horse before. She wondered why, with so much money, she hadn’t taken up horseback riding lessons.
After the three families got out of the car, they exchanged greetings and the main part of the show began.
The director started with a small theatrical intro: “What did the babies eat this morning?”
Xu Lian: “Two big meat buns and a bowl of salty soy milk.”
Daya: “Three pan-fried buns, a fried dough stick, and… a bottle of milk.”
Xiaoya: “Me too, me too! I also had two oranges.”
When it came to Mu Baobao, she said with satisfaction: “I had a tomato hamburger, and a kiss from Mama and Mummy.” This caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Xu Lian was a forthright little girl. She secretly glanced at Mu Baobao. Since she hadn’t fully grown yet, she wasn’t as cute as the other babies, but Mu Baobao was different.
Both her Mama and Mummy were beauties, and her Mama was a great beauty, so Mu Baobao had been adorable since childhood, winning the favor of the other babies, especially Xu Lian.
Xu Lian shyly said, “Then can you give me a morning kiss?”
Xu Feng was startled: “Baby, don’t talk nonsense.” Although both were little girls, their genders could be different after differentiation, which would be awkward.
Mu Baobao shrank a little into Xu Muyan’s arms, feeling slightly scared. Xu Lian was a few days younger than her, so she should be a little sister, but Mu Baobao was spoiled, and she didn’t know how to act towards a younger sister.
The director: “I have prepared Mongolian grassland specialties for you today: Mongolian milk tea, dried milk curd, lamb offal soup, and a bowl of beizi (baked bun).”
Xu Feng gasped: “Didn’t we just finish breakfast?”
Gu Zhi snapped her fingers: “Oh, I get it. The production team wants us to eat and then choose the house.”
Director: “Exactly. Your whole family has to eat. The first to finish gets to choose the house first.”
“Burp~” One of the babies let out a loud burp.
Xu Muyan and Gu Zhi looked at their own baby in unison. Mu Baobao: “Mama, Mummy, can I not eat?”
The director smiled: “No, all the babies have to participate in eating.”
—Hahahaha, Mu Baobao is so cute! —Mu Baobao’s stomach is already rumbling. Can she really eat all that?
The specialties the director prepared were basically lunch-sized portions, but they hadn’t digested breakfast yet and really couldn’t eat any more.
Gu Zhi rubbed her stomach. Her belly was also not far from resembling a basketball. Gu Zhi finally understood why some people get fatter after marriage. When life is happy, how can you not gain weight?! It seemed she needed to start exercising properly when she got back.
Xu Muyan, however, maintained a flawless figure. Being an actress, she often ate little and exercised a lot. She also had a small breakfast, so it looked like this task was up to her.
Gu Zhi drank a bowl of lamb offal soup, chewed and swallowed a large beizi. Her stomach swelled up. Then, she secretly placed the remaining beizi on the baby’s bowl. Mu Baobao was unaware, eating one after another, only to find there were still beizi in her bowl.
—Hahahaha, CEO Gu is too fond of bullying Mu Baobao! —Mu Baobao’s reactions are hilarious!
Xu Feng was the first to raise her hand: “We’re done eating.”
Xu Lian saw Mu Baobao’s struggling expression and kindly leaned in to help: “Do you need me to help you eat?”
Mu Baobao: “We’re in a competition. If you help me, it’s cheating.”
Xu Lian said blankly, “Okay.”
In the end, Gu Zhi’s family was the second to finish eating. The director brought out three house photos for the babies to choose from. Xu Lian looked at Mu Baobao’s eyes. Mu Baobao seemed very fond of the luxurious yurt.
Xu Feng: “Baby, you have to think carefully. We want to live in a very nice house.”
Xu Lian firmly said, “Mmm,” and chose the small roadside house.
Xu Feng: “…”
Mu Baobao was overjoyed and immediately chose the luxurious yurt. Seeing her smile, Xu Lian also laughed and asked Xu Feng: “Mama, how was my choice?”
Xu Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “It was a great choice, Baby.” Then she poked her husband’s arm: “Did you notice that Lian-baby likes Mu Baobao?”
“Mu Baobao looks like a little snowman. Who wouldn’t like her?”
“I mean that kind of liking!”
“Hahahaha, are you joking with me? They are still children.”
Xu Feng was unconvinced and pondered over it carefully. If Lian-baby and Mu Baobao got together, their family could have an alliance with the Gu family. That was the Gu family, and there was also a Movie Queen. It would be a great honor!
Not only did they notice, but Xu Muyan also noticed the anomaly and felt that Lian-baby had a double-standard kind of affection for Mu Baobao. So, she urged Mu Baobao: “Mu Baobao, should you say thank you to Lian-baby?”
Mu Baobao obediently walked over: “Thank you.”
Lian-baby instantly blushed, her voice barely a whisper: “You’re welcome.” Although it was easiest for children to become friends, it seemed like there was an invisible wall between them. The moment they met eyes, they didn’t know what to say.
After saying thank you, Mu Baobao quickly ran into Gu Zhi’s arms, glanced at Lian-baby, pursed her lips, and nestled on Mummy’s shoulder. She whispered to Gu Zhi: “Mummy, my tummy is bloated.”
It was true! Gu Zhi was even a little breathless holding her.
“So I want to give her the potato chips I brought.” Mu Baobao opened her delicate eyes.
Gu Zhi chuckled: “Then take the potato chips and tell her.”
Mu Baobao bit her finger and said in a baby voice, “But Baby doesn’t know what to say. She gets so shy when she sees me.”
Gu Zhi suggested: “Then why don’t you talk to her more during the games, Mu Baobao? Once you get familiar, you can exchange snacks.”
Mu Baobao hummed and leaned on Gu Zhi’s shoulder, pondering.
Xu Muyan asked, “What are you two talking about? So secretive.”
Gu Zhi shushed her: “It’s a secret between Mu Baobao and me. Mama can’t know.”
Mu Baobao nodded emphatically: “Exactly!”
Xu Muyan pouted. Hmph, this stinky Alpha, I’m ignoring her.
They ate so much in the morning that they only started to digest it enough to eat dinner in the evening. The ingredients were won from the afternoon game: a white radish, a bundle of greens, and a small piece of meat. Why so little? Because Mu Baobao had given all the good food they won to Xu Feng’s family.
Gu Zhi held up the white radish: “What can we make with a white radish?”
Xu Muyan offered suggestions: “Stir-fried radish slices, shredded radish with minced meat, and oden radish.”
Mu Baobao suddenly grabbed the radish and shouted: “I want to eat white radish.”
Gu Zhi peeled the white radish and said patiently: “Baby, this is a white radish.”
Mu Baobao said, “Oh,” and then asked, “Then, then I want to eat a carrot.”
Xu Muyan rubbed her head: “We don’t have any carrots.”
Mu Baobao continued to ask: “Then do we have broccoli?”
Gu Zhi: “Does this child not know that we only won this much food, and all the good food was given to Xu Feng’s family?”
Xu Muyan’s tone was slightly low: “Are you blaming Mu Baobao?”
Gu Zhi sensed the mood: “I’m not blaming her. Sister, are you in a bad mood?”
“Do I look like I’m in a bad mood?”
“Cut it out. I know you too well.”
“This stinky Alpha claims to know her own wife now?”
—Hahahahaha, why are this couple’s conversations so funny? —Fight, fight! Let me see how CEO Gu coaxes her.
CEO Gu immediately hugged Xu Muyan, saying sweet things, kissing, and praising her. Xu Muyan was instantly embarrassed.
Xu Muyan pouted: “A Hollywood movie approached me, but the filming location is across the Atlantic Ocean, too far from here. It might take a while to shoot, and I won’t be able to see you two for a long time.”
It was as if a bolt of lightning struck them. Gu Zhi wailed softly. “I don’t want to be separated from you…”
—Wuwuwu, CEO Gu is too cute. Why is she acting like a child in front of the Movie Queen? —CEO Gu must really love the Movie Queen, or she wouldn’t cry like that without caring about her image.
Mu Baobao asked: “Mama, why is Mummy crying?”
Xu Muyan squatted down and comforted her: “Mama is going to Hollywood to film a movie, and we might not see each other for a long time.” Although she also felt reluctant to leave her wife and child, this movie was the one she had longed for the most, and she absolutely couldn’t give it up.
So Mu Baobao cried along with Gu Zhi: “I don’t want Mama to leave.” The two grabbed Xu Muyan’s arms and cried, leaving Xu Muyan at a loss.
“I’ve decided!” Gu Zhi chopped the white radish into segments with a knife: “I’m going to Hollywood.”
Mu Baobao: “Me too, me too!”
Gu Zhi pursed her lips and smiled: “Mu Baobao is still small. Stay home. You can’t come with us.”
Mu Baobao: “…”
“No, I want to be with Mama and Mummy. I don’t want to not see you.” Seeing Mu Baobao’s eyes full of tears, Gu Zhi’s heart ached.
Xu Muyan suggested a solution: “This summer vacation, we can let Mu Baobao go and arrange an English teacher for her. Mu Baobao should start learning English early anyway.”
Mu Baobao nodded and then spoke in English: “Who are you? My name is Mu Baby!”
Gu Zhi chuckled. What kind of English was that?
The next day’s game involved the babies picking chives on the grassland. Daya and Xiaoya were more active, and soon they started arguing over who picked more.
“I picked this.”
“Bullshit! I clearly saw it first.”
The two were at a stalemate, and Xiaoya accidentally fell to the ground and started wailing. Mu Baobao and Lian-baby were also stunned by this. Daya still wanted to scold Xiaoya, but Mu Baobao stopped her.
Mu Baobao: “Stop arguing.”
Daya was unconvinced and tried to push Mu Baobao: “Mind your own business.”
But Lian-baby pushed him away: “Don’t bully her!”
Daya was a boy, so he definitely had the physical advantage. He immediately hit back: “Mind your own business!” Mu Baobao was not someone to be bullied easily. Seeing Lian-baby getting hit because of her, her anger flared, and she immediately bit him. Then, Lian-baby also joined in to hit Daya. The two girls quickly wrestled Daya to the ground. If the cameraman hadn’t intervened in time, Daya would probably have been injured.
Daya wailed: “Why are you hitting me?”
Mu Baobao: “Because you wouldn’t listen!”
Daya: “But I picked more!”
Lian-baby emptied all four baskets onto the ground and carefully divided them equally into each basket: “Look, aren’t all our baskets the same now?”
Daya immediately stopped crying. Since he was a child, he quickly forgot what happened and nodded: “But if they’re the same, we can’t play the game well.”
Mu Baobao: “My Mama said that when we play games, friendship comes first, and competition comes second. So we are good friends, and we shouldn’t fight over such a small thing.”
Lian-baby said, “Mmm.” She exchanged a look with Mu Baobao. Mu Baobao was no longer shy and looked down. Instead, she grinned, showing her white teeth, and smiled at her. The two held hands on the way back. When it was time to part, Mu Baobao’s eyes were moist: “We’ll see each other tomorrow, okay?”
Lian-baby waved at her: “See you tomorrow. I’ll miss you.”
Mu Baobao: “I’ll miss you too.”
—The feelings between these two babies are really too good. I’m so touched I’m about to cry. —I’m obsessed! I wonder if the two babies will end up together later? —Don’t obsess yet. It might just be childhood friendship. It would be terrible if they differentiated into the same gender.
Gu Zhi was also wondering about this. If these two babies differentiated into the same gender, would they still be together?
The reality show was almost finished filming. Xu Muyan was also preparing to go to Hollywood for the movie. Unexpectedly, she received a call from Xue Yan. Xue Yan had spent several years in the psychiatric hospital, reconciled with Xu Xun, and hadn’t relapsed for a long time.
She was now working as a company executive in H-City like a normal person and came to A-City primarily to see her daughter and the baby, and to treat the family to a meal.
After hearing the news, Gu Zhi couldn’t sleep. Xu Muyan looked at the person tossing and turning beside her and asked, “Why can’t you sleep?”
Gu Zhi: “I can’t figure out why she would treat me to a meal when she comes to A-City.”
Xu Muyan rolled her eyes: “She invited us and the baby. What’s wrong with you? Why are you so nervous after hearing the news?”
Gu Zhi: “I haven’t seen your mom—I mean, our mom—in a long time. I’m worried she’ll be critical of me.”
Xu Muyan laughed: “It’ll be fine. I’ll help you.”
Gu Zhi whined and finally fell asleep in Xu Muyan’s arms.
