Female-dominated society: My wife is an incompetent wife

Chapter 57: Fatherly Love

"Yoona, get me two... no, four eggs, they're in the fridge." Mo Xunhuan's voice came from the kitchen.

"Okay, I'll do it."

"Let me do it!" Just as Lin Yoona was about to get up, Mu Shuang took the lead and walked towards the refrigerator.

After selecting four eggs, she went to the kitchen, where she saw Mo Xunhuan wearing an apron and cooking, the aroma of the stir-fried dishes wafting towards her.

Watching Mo Xunhuan's retreating figure, Mu Shuang's heart raced at the sight of his mature, young married man's demeanor. Although there were many handsome men at school, they were all too immature.

But it's the naturally mature older brother like Mo Xunhuan who is most admired by high school students like Mu Shuang.

Mu Shuang walked behind Mo Xunhuan, about to speak, when Mo Xunhuan suddenly turned around and was stunned when he saw her.

"Mu Shuang?"

"Eggs, Xunhuan-ge." Mu Shuang, not good with words, handed the eggs to Mo Xunhuan and turned to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, help me crack the eggs!" Mo Xunhuan said, stopping her.

"Want me to crack some eggs? Sure." Mu Shuang nodded, took a bowl, cracked four eggs into it, and scrambled them with chopsticks.

Watching her skillful movements as she cracked the eggs, Mo Xunhuan praised, "You look very skilled. Do you cook often?"

"No, I just often help my mom. I come from a single-parent family and was raised and disciplined by my mom since I was little," Mu Shuang explained, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Is that so!" Mo Xunhuan nodded, poured the fried eggs into the oil pan and stir-fried them, then added tomatoes.

Watching Mo Xunhuan skillfully stir-fry the food, exuding the charm of a married man, Mu Shuang, who had never had a father, couldn't help but feel a strange emotion. She was somewhat infatuated with his profile.

"Your mother has had a tough time, having to work and take care of you at the same time," Mo Xunhuan said with emotion.

"Yes, you too."

"Me?" Mo Xunhuan looked at her in confusion.

"This is the first time I've ever met a man like you, Xunhuan, who is not only handsome and gentle but also a great cook."

Mu Shuang's words amused Mo Xunhuan, who shook his head and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. There are plenty of excellent men in the world, many good-looking, many good cooks, and even more sexy and gentle ones."

"But these characteristics are rarely found in the same person; at least I've never seen them in one." Mu Shuang couldn't help but move closer, her gaze falling on Mo Xunhuan's neck, and she involuntarily swallowed.

For a fleeting second, Mu Shuang felt an urge to hug Mo Xunhuan from behind and call him—Dad!

Hearing the sound of swallowing beside him, Mo Xunhuan picked up a piece of egg with his chopsticks, turned around and offered it to Mu Shuang's mouth.

"Are you hungry? How about trying this?"

Mu Shuang was slightly taken aback, then happily opened her mouth to take it, chewing it with relish, her face full of satisfaction.

"Delicious, so delicious~"

"As long as it tastes good. There's still some time before dinner. You can wait in the living room. If you're really hungry, there's some bread in the fridge."

Mu Shuang shook her head. "No, I'll just stand here and watch, and treat it as learning how to cook."

"Oh, that's fine too, but I'm hardly a professional chef. I just make home-style dishes," Mo Xunhuan said with a smile.

An hour later, dinner was ready.

There were six dishes on the dining table in the living room. Although they were all home-style dishes, they smelled delicious.

After Mo Xunhuan brought out the last large bowl of pork rib soup, he glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost 7 p.m.

"Huh? It's already this late, and she still hasn't come back?" Mo Xunhuan asked, puzzled.

"Brother Xunhuan, is Sister Xiaoxue working overtime again tonight?" Lin Yoona asked curiously.

Mo Xunhuan patted his forehead and sighed, "She's been quite busy since her promotion, she'll probably be home late again tonight."

"Oh, do we have to wait forever? I'm so hungry!" Lu Qingqing lay on the table, staring intently at the twice-cooked pork on the plate, her mouth watering from the aroma.

Mo Xunhuan thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Let's not wait any longer. Let's eat first, and we can leave some for her later."

"Yay, we can finally eat!" Lu Qingqing cheered, raising her hands.

At the dining table, Lin Yoona and Lu Qingqing were wolfing down their food, like two hungry wolves.

This is normal, though. Children digest food quickly, and Yoona, being a high school student, gets hungry very quickly due to excessive mental exertion.

Mo Xunhuan picked up a piece of pork rib and placed it in Mu Shuang's bowl, thanking her gently, "Thanks to you for saving me today, Mu Shuang, otherwise I don't even want to think about what I would have done!"

"It's nothing. If you ever encounter something like this again, just contact me and I'll be there right away," Mu Shuang said confidently.

"Okay, thanks then. Eat more!"

Faced with Mo Xunhuan's gentleness and thoughtfulness, Mu Shuang visibly blushed.

"Hey, Sister Mu Shuang, why is your face so red?" Lu Qingqing asked curiously.

"Ah, I... I'm hot, the room is too warm," Mu Shuang hurriedly explained.

"If you're hot, take off your clothes. There's already a sick person in the house, and you're still wearing a leather jacket, of course you're hot," Mo Xunhuan said with concern.

Following Mo Xunhuan's advice, Mu Shuang got up, took off her leather jacket, and hung it on the chair. However, when she turned around, she saw that all three people present were staring straight at her, and Lin Yun'er exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Mu Shuang asked, looking bewildered.

"No, Sister Shuang, your figure... wow, how come I didn't notice before?"

Following Lin Yoona's gaze, Mu Shuang looked down and then understood what was going on.

It's simply because she has such a great figure. Plus, because of the leather jacket, she couldn't wear anything too thick underneath, so she wore a tight-fitting sweater, which accentuated her hot curves.

"Ahem... well... it's normal, it's just that I was wearing a tight sweater today." Mu Shuang sat down and coughed lightly as she spoke.

"A tight sweater? I wear one too, why don't I have the same effect as you?" Lin Yoona said, puffing out her chest in dissatisfaction. Although it was beginning to take shape, it was far from as magnificent as Mu Shuang's.

"Because you're small!" At this moment, Lu Qingqing, who was standing to the side, directly delivered a sharp retort.

"Pfft!" Im Yoona clutched her chest, feigning an exaggerated expression of heartache.

"You brat, you're just rubbing salt into my wounds, aren't you?" Lin Yoona raised her hand and pinched Lu Qingqing's cheek.

"I'm telling the truth, you've broken down!"

"you……"

Hearing the sounds of playful fighting, Mo Xunhuan shifted his gaze from Mu Shuang and Lin Yun'er, comforting her, "Don't get excited, Yun'er. It's normal for an 18-year-old girl to be like this! You haven't reached puberty yet, you'll still grow taller later."

"I'm not at puberty yet? Then what about her? Why is Shuang-jie already so big? She's probably a D cup!" Lin Yoona said, pointing at Mu Shuang with jealousy.
