Female-dominated society: My wife is an incompetent wife

Chapter 39: The Christmas Eve Adventure

Although Lu Xiaoxue sensed the sarcasm, she felt helpless. After all, she hadn't really celebrated Christmas properly for her daughter before, and she hadn't even given Mo Xunhuan a nice gift for Valentine's Day.

Noticing Lu Xiaoxue's embarrassment, Su Qi stepped forward to break the awkward atmosphere and changed the subject.

"By the way, class monitor, you said it's Christmas Eve today, everyone's spending it with their partners and families, what are you doing here?"

"Then I'll ask you in return, why did you come here in the first place?" Lan Ruoxin looked at Su Qi calmly.

"Uh... okay, looks like we're in the same boat, a pair of single dogs!" Su Qi sighed, putting her arm around Lan Ruoxin's shoulder, as if she felt the same way.

The three women, who seem to be best friends, are actually quite cunning, each more scheming than the last, and every word they say is full of hidden plots and intrigue.

There's nothing we can do; they all fell for the same man. Otherwise, the three of them together would have been a very harmonious scene!

Sensing the tension in the air, Lu Xiaoxue knew she couldn't defeat her two assertive old classmates, so she had no choice but to retreat to the kitchen.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I smelled a rich aroma. Several dishes were already laid out on the stove, including spicy crayfish, stir-fried squid, and braised chicken, among other hearty dishes. We don't usually eat this much even on holidays.

"Tsk tsk, you've prepared so well today. You only prepared this because your old classmate is here, right?" Lu Xiaoxue casually picked up a piece of chicken and ate it, standing next to Mo Xunhuan.

"Otherwise what? When an old classmate comes to visit, would you really have the nerve to serve him a plate of cold radish salad?" Mo Xunhuan said, putting the chicken leg coated in breadcrumbs into the oil and starting to deep-fry it.

"Hehe, you're right. Just now, the class monitor asked me if I had given my sweetheart a proper Christmas in the past, and I was too embarrassed to answer." Lu Xiaoxue sighed.

"Class monitor?" Mo Xunhuan frowned, turned to look at Lu Xiaoxue who had a worried look on her face, and realized that his wife had become withdrawn again.

"What do you care what she says? Everyone has their own family and their own life. You can't pretend to be rich when you're not!" Mo Xunhuan pinched her cheeks with both hands and teased her in a relaxed tone.

"Honey, you're so considerate of me~" Lu Xiaoxue was so touched that she tried to kiss him, but he pushed her away with a slap.

"Alright, we have guests at home. Go outside and greet them. Don't disturb me while I'm cooking." With that, Mo Xunhuan forcibly pushed him out of the kitchen.

Half an hour later, the living room table was filled with a sumptuous feast. Besides the dishes prepared by Mo Xunhuan, there were also several takeout items ordered by Su Qi. In short, it was a very lavish meal.

There was also a good amount of alcohol: two large cases of beer, one case of liquor, and one case of cocktails.

"Wow, this is such a feast! It feels like Chinese New Year!" Looking at the abundant dishes, Lu Qingqing was very excited and immediately picked up a fried chicken leg to eat.

"Why are you in such a hurry to start eating? The adults haven't even touched their food yet!" Mo Xunhuan said, displeased.

"Oh, let the child eat if she's hungry. We're not hungry, we're mainly here to drink!" As she spoke, Su Qi took out four bottles of beer and pried open the caps with chopsticks.

"Wow, that's awesome! When did you learn how to pry open bottle caps?" Mo Xunhuan exclaimed.

"Hmph, no problem, I learned it from working and socializing all these years." Su Qi tossed her hair and handed the beer to Mo Xunhuan with a smug look on her face.

"It's no big deal, just opening a bottle." Lan Ruoxin casually took a bottle of beer and opened it with a metal fork.

Watching the two women demonstrate their bottle-opening skills, Lu Xiaoxue, the hostess of the place, felt embarrassed. She really had no other way but to use her teeth.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Lu Xiaoxue could only smile awkwardly, pick up a bottle of beer, and pry open the cap with her teeth.

"It all comes down to drinking, right? Opening the bottle cap and all that doesn't matter, right?"

"Yeah, that's true, it's mainly about drinking!" Mo Xunhuan still tried to save face for his wife, and agreed.

Time passed slowly, and Lu Qingqing, having eaten and drunk her fill, sat on the sofa watching TV, while the four adults were just beginning.

After a few bottles of wine, their faces turned rosy, and they entered a slightly tipsy state.

"Just drinking like this isn't fun, let's play a game!" Su Qi suggested.

"Okay, just drinking isn't fun. What do you want to play?" Lu Xiaoxue was the first to agree and asked curiously.

"How about a dare?" Su Qi pulled out a deck of cards from somewhere.

"Oh, that's it? This is for kids. What's the point of adults playing this? It's just about playing pranks on others. There's no excitement at all." Lu Xiaoxue shook her head with a look of disgust and complained.

"Hey, don't rush, the severity of the punishment can be changed! Since it's the adults who want to play, we can increase the severity of the punishment, and... don't you want to order the others to do something?" Su Qi looked at Lan Ruoxin meaningfully.

Lan Ruoxin calmly raised her hand. "I don't care."

"Then I don't mind either." Mo Xunhuan also raised his hand.

"Alright, alright, since everyone agrees, let's start playing! Let me explain the rules: there are four cards in total, including the King and Queen, as well as 1 and 2. If you draw the King, you can command the Queen; if you draw the Queen, you can only complete the task or accept the punishment." Su Qi briefly explained the game rules.

"Okay, let's get started!" Lu Xiaoxue urged impatiently.

The game began quickly. Four cards were placed in a closed box. After shaking the box, each player reached into the box and drew a card.

"I am the king, hahaha..." Lu Xiaoxue laughed excitedly, never expecting to win on the first draw.

"So what do you want to order Xiao Wang to do?" Lan Ruoxin asked.

"Hmm... let me think, 30 push-ups on the spot!" Lu Xiaoxue said with a mischievous smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Xunhuan slammed the cards in his hand on the table, sighed heavily, and stood up.

"Honey, why are you up?" Lu Xiaoxue was stunned when she saw this.

"What do you think? Let's complete the mission!" Mo Xunhuan glared at her, then started doing push-ups on the spot.

"Ah, it's you, Xiao Wang!" Lu Xiaoxue suddenly stood up and looked at Mo Xunhuan, who was doing push-ups on the spot. She was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her hand.

Oh no! I was planning to teach those two women a lesson, but instead I ended up dealing with my own husband first?

For an average man, 30 push-ups would be impossible, but Mo Xunhuan is no ordinary man. For him, who has eight-pack abs, 30 push-ups are more than enough.

In addition, since acquiring the "Rebellious Husband" system, after successfully forcing himself on Su Qi last time, Mo Xunhuan discovered that his physique seemed to have improved, especially in bed, where he was incredibly fierce. Perhaps this was the system's reward!
