After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 43

Xu Muyan finished her day of filming, and it was already evening. Mu Baobao was asleep in Gu Zhi’s arms, and Gu Zhi was also asleep, but her arm was continuously holding Mu Baobao, afraid she would fall.

Xu Muyan couldn’t help but think that their being here was somewhat pointless. At home, they couldn’t see her, and on the set, they couldn’t play much with her. But still, with family around, everything was joyful.

Xu Muyan suddenly recalled everything from the past. She was a person who didn’t believe in love or family affection, but Gu Zhi had given her so much that she could no longer live without her. Looking at Gu Zhi’s sleeping face, she couldn’t resist kissing her on the lips.

At that moment, Gu Zhi abruptly opened her eyes and smiled: “I caught you stealing a kiss.”

Xu Muyan’s eyes widened: “You weren’t asleep?”

Gu Zhi: “Mu Baobao is sleeping on me. What would happen if I fell asleep? I could only close my eyes and rest.”

Xu Muyan said with a hint of jealousy: “You are truly a good Mummy.”

Gu Zhi raised her eyebrows triumphantly: “Being a good Mummy is not that simple. I’m naturally this way.”

Xu Muyan suddenly pointed to a little bit of ice cream on Mu Baobao’s lip and asked coldly: “So a good Mummy gives the baby two ice creams?”

Gu Zhi nervously swallowed: “Uh… that was an accident.”

Upon returning home, Mu Baobao immediately woke up. She stretched her arms and demanded Xu Muyan to carry her: “Mama, carry me.”

Xu Muyan scolded her verbally for eating ice cream again, but still instinctively picked her up: “You’re so heavy.”

Mu Baobao was very angry: “Don’t say I’m heavy!”

Xu Muyan patted her back: “Be good, go take a shower.”

The next day, Gu Zhi woke up, and the person next to her had already gone out to film. She went downstairs and made fried eggs, sandwiches, and well-cooked coarse grain porridge. She called Mu Baobao to come down and eat.

Gu Zhi: “Baby, come down and eat.”

Mu Baobao walked down slowly, rubbing her eyes sleepily, then suddenly stumbled and was immediately caught by Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi frowned: “Don’t walk with your eyes half-closed. What if you fall?”

Mu Baobao was hugged tightly by Gu Zhi and had no choice but to open her eyes wide and nod.

During the meal, Mu Baobao asked: “Mummy, where are we going to play?”

“In a while, when Mama has time, we can go shopping in New City as a family.”

Mu Baobao was getting tired of the three-day routine of sandwiches and coarse grain porridge: “I want to eat Aunt Shang’s stir-fried noodles with bean sprouts, with sausages, shredded meat, and eggs.”

Gu Zhi: “This is the US. The only noodles are spaghetti.” Although she said that, her hand movements were somewhat malicious, secretly giving all the food Mu Baobao didn’t like to her.

Mu Baobao chewed one bite after another and pouted: “Mummy, this is hard to eat.” Gu Zhi also found it tasteless; they weren’t used to this kind of food.

She comforted her: “Mummy will make it for you tonight.”

“Okay~”

Fortunately, the filming wrapped up ahead of schedule. Xu Muyan calculated that she would be completely finished in a few days. She thought she would have to stay for several weeks, so she was surprised it was so fast.

However, she was a little bored with acting. Once a project started, she had to go abroad, and she was unwilling to be separated from her family for so long.

Furthermore, she only acted to ensure a good life, and now that she was with Gu Zhi, life was even better, so she had the idea of starting her own business. After all, she studied finance in college and had knowledge in that area. It was time for a career change.

With light steps, she opened the door, and a blast of cold air drifted out. Xu Muyan frowned: “Zhi-Zhi, don’t turn the temperature so low at night.”

There was no sound inside, only a burst of rock music coming from the kitchen. Xu Muyan walked over curiously. What was that woman up to now?

When she opened the door, flour flew everywhere, causing Xu Muyan to sneeze a few times. Gu Zhi and Mu Baobao had batter all over their hands, swaying to the music and completely lost in the moment. Naturally, they hadn’t noticed the lady of the house was home.

Xu Muyan couldn’t help but turn off the speaker and shouted: “Stop right now!”

Gu Zhi and Mu Baobao suddenly turned around. They both had the exact same innocent expression, and there were white flour stains on their faces. It seemed their attempt had been a complete failure. Xu Muyan knitted her brows but found she couldn’t be angry, and soon burst out laughing.

Gu Zhi gasped: “Sister, why are you here?”

As if she wasn’t supposed to come home, Xu Muyan glared at her. Seeing this, Mu Baobao immediately ran over: “Mama~” but Xu Muyan unceremoniously lifted her up: “Go wash your hands.”

“What were you two making? Buns? Pies? Dumplings?”

Good heavens, none of them were correct. Gu Zhi: “Actually, it was noodles.”

Xu Muyan narrowed her eyes, seemingly doubting her words. Her doubt was directed at Gu Zhi’s intelligence. How could making noodles turn the kitchen into this mess?

“Mu Baobao wanted to eat fried noodles, but there’s only spaghetti here, so I thought I’d make it myself. But after a whole afternoon, all I got was this batter.”

“Let me do it.” Xu Muyan took the flour: “You obviously don’t know how to knead the dough.”

“Kneading the dough?” Gu Zhi’s eyes lit up: “I searched on Baidu. It means adding yeast, right? I know that, but apparently, too much yeast is also bad.”

“Yes.” Xu Muyan added a little water and some more flour and gently kneaded: “You probably put too little flour when cutting the noodles, which caused them to stick together, making them difficult to cut.”

Gu Zhi nodded and said with admiration: “Sister is amazing. I had the problem of the noodles sticking to the cleaver just now.”

Xu Muyan laughed: “No wonder the cleaver is covered in batter.”

Gu Zhi giggled foolishly and started working again, turning on the speaker and dancing to the beat. Xu Muyan shouted: “Turn off the speaker, it’s too loud!”

“Oh.”

Gu Zhi tied an apron around Xu Muyan, watching her knead the dough with a straight back. She couldn’t help but pick up the camera and take a picture.

She saw Mu Baobao, who had finished washing her hands, walk over and stare at her blankly.

Gu Zhi placed her index finger on her lips and shushed her.

Mu Baobao nodded. Before this, they had been discussing how to celebrate Xu Muyan’s birthday in five days.

Xu Muyan didn’t make a big deal of her birthday. In previous years, Gu Zhi had specially prepared surprise gifts for her, but the atmosphere was the same as Valentine’s Day or the Qixi Festival—just sweet affection between the two of them, with no feeling of a birthday celebration.

Xu Muyan said: “I never celebrated birthdays when I was little, so I’m naturally not very interested.”

Now that Mu Baobao was older, she could praise people, walk, and even come up with her own ideas. Gu Zhi thought she should celebrate her wife’s birthday with their daughter.

A few days later, Xu Muyan’s filming was almost complete. It would be fully wrapped up after a few more scattered days. Therefore, she had no scenes today and got ready early to gather with her wife and child to go play in New City. Coincidentally, this day was her birthday.

“Time to go out and play!” Mu Baobao wore a bucket hat, and behind her was a small fishing rod. The morning plan was to go fishing at a nearby small lake. Gu Zhi was very skilled at things like golf and fishing, as she did them when socializing with a group of CEOs. Xu Muyan didn’t think fishing was difficult. When they arrived at the lake, she didn’t let Gu Zhi teach her and just figured it out herself.

The lake surface shimmered, and lush aquatic plants grew on the bank. The sun wasn’t hot, and the weather was beautiful and calm—perfectly comfortable. Xu Muyan sat in the sun canopy that Han Yun had just set up, wearing sunglasses, carefully watching the fishing rod for any movement.

Everything was peaceful here. In contrast, Mu Baobao was anxious. Mu Baobao had already cast her hook, her eyes intently watching the balsa wood float for any movement. After a minute, Mu Baobao asked: “Mummy, why hasn’t a fish taken the bait yet?”

Gu Zhi glanced at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: “You cast the hook only one meter into the water. What fish is going to bite?”

Mu Baobao said, “Oh,” and continued to lengthen the fishing line, casting it out hard. She asked: “How about now?”

“Baby, it doesn’t take that quickly to bite. It takes ten minutes at the shortest, half an hour at the longest. Just wait.”

Mu Baobao said, “Mmm,” and sat down to look at her watch, intending to check again in ten minutes. Gu Zhi prepared her bait, cast it out, and then sat down next to Xu Muyan.

Xu Muyan frowned: “Hmph, are you trying to steal my fish?”

Gu Zhi smiled: “Sister’s fish is my fish, and my fish is also Sister’s.” She picked up an open iced coconut water: “Sister, have some.”

Xu Muyan took a sip. Gu Zhi also drank, guzzling half of it.

“Mummy, why hasn’t the fish bitten yet after ten minutes?” Mu Baobao shouted from a distance.

“What’s the rush? Wait a little longer!” Gu Zhi shouted back in the same tone.

Xu Muyan saw that Han Yun was teaching Mu Baobao nearby and was relieved. She said: “Do I look good today?”

Gu Zhi took off her sunglasses to look at Xu Muyan’s thick braided pigtails, the moon-white gauze dress she was wearing, the sparkling little decorations on the neckline, and the cleavage Xu Muyan deliberately revealed by sitting sideways.

Her long neck, delicate collarbone, and fair chest were all major weapons in Gu Zhi’s eyes, even though she had looked at them countless times before going out.

“Sister, you know the answer. When have you ever looked bad in anything?” Gu Zhi said smoothly. Outside, she had the title of cold and dominant CEO, but in front of Xu Muyan, she was like a lecherous Alpha, a habit she felt she couldn’t change. Gu Zhi couldn’t help but sigh. The word “double standard” really suited her.

Xu Muyan watched as Gu Zhi played with her snow-white hand, her smile deepening: “You just know how to flatter me.”

Gu Zhi played with her hand while leaning closer, her lips almost touching Xu Muyan’s fair neck. Xu Muyan moved suddenly, pulling up her fishing rod immediately. A small silver carp was in the bucket.

“Fifteen minutes. Not slow, right?” Xu Muyan smiled triumphantly. Gu Zhi gave her a thumbs-up. She looked at her own bait and found that the fish had eaten it all. She figured the fish ate hers first, and she hadn’t noticed. By the time they went to eat Xu Muyan’s bait, she had discovered them immediately. Gu Zhi sighed. It was her fault for only paying attention to the beauty.

She recast her fishing rod. Gu Zhi leaned back, but the folding lounge chair wasn’t set up properly, and the coconut water in her hand spilled right onto her face. Xu Muyan gasped: “Zhi-Zhi!”

“Mummy, half an hour has passed. Why hasn’t the fish bitten yet?” Mu Baobao looked over and shouted. She saw Xu Muyan leaning toward Gu Zhi, and Gu Zhi’s hands were wrapped around her neck. She didn’t know what they were doing. Han Yun thought they were kissing and immediately covered Mu Baobao’s eyes. He comforted her: “Miss, CEO Gu and Madam are probably whispering secrets. Let’s not disturb them.”

Gu Zhi went home and changed into new clothes. Mu Baobao still didn’t understand what had happened to them. She just saw Xu Muyan smiling non-stop at Mummy. Gu Zhi grumbled to Xu Muyan, feeling embarrassed: “Sister, you’re laughing at me!”

Xu Muyan looped her arm through hers: “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Come into Sister’s arms.”

Gu Zhi pouted and pretended to bite her shoulder. Mu Baobao followed behind, lifting her head to ponder. Did they forget that a daughter was following them?

After getting into the car, Gu Zhi took out sunscreen and applied it repeatedly to Xu Muyan’s arm. Xu Muyan laughed: “I already put it on. Why are you putting it on again?”

Gu Zhi suddenly looked up, as if she had forgotten something: “Oh, right. Who was I supposed to put it on for?”

“It was me!” Mu Baobao struggled to climb in, putting her hands on her hips and scolding them. Gu Zhi quickly hugged her: “Baby, let’s put some on you.”

Mu Baobao was still very upset: “You just left me and didn’t even look at me.”

Xu Muyan pulled Mu Baobao into her arms. Mu Baobao loved her Mama’s scent and happily rubbed against her. Xu Muyan pinched her little nose: “Oh, is Mu Baobao angry?” Mu Baobao being angry made her look like Gu Zhi, which pleased Xu Muyan.
