The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 426: Tolerant Elder

"Wife, this is the first time I know you’re so open-minded!""When was I not open-minded?"

Jiang Nuo whispered mischievously in her ear, "In bed!"

Mu Qiuniang glared at him, "Can you be serious for a moment?"

"I’m very serious! Wife, this concerns my personal welfare. I’m as serious as I can be," Jiang Nuo said with a straight face.

Mu Qiuniang rolled her eyes at him and chose to ignore him.

Jiang Nuo leaned closer again with a playful smile, "Wife, did you calculate Mu Feng’s love life with your fingers? When I saw Mu Feng, I noticed you were counting with your fingers..." He glanced at her fair, tender little hand.

Wondering if there would be any benefits tonight, hugging and nibbling?

"Hmm! His love life isn’t going smoothly, but the outcome is good!"

"It’s not this vampire, is it?"

"Heavenly secrets must not be divulged!"

Jiang Nuo looked inscrutable, "I understand, I understand, I understand!"

In the days that followed, Jiang Nuo was busy with announcements again, while Mu Qiuniang became relatively idle, practicing meditation, drinking tea, living a very leisurely life.

"Hey, wife, your leisurely life is really enviable!" Jiang Nuo remarked.

Mu Qiuniang calmly put down her teacup, "You could quit working too, I can support you."

"Wife, wouldn’t I really become a freeloader then? Even though I’d be happy to, staying idle at home all day would be boring, right? How about accompanying me to the announcement?" Jiang Nuo blinked sincerely.

Mu Qiuniang replied, "Did you take on another couple’s show again?"

"Hehehe... Wife, you’re so smart, it’s scary!"

Mu Qiuniang: "..." Your deliberately fawning expression gave it away.

"Wife, come along, okay? It’s a foreign ’Wilderness Survival’ program. They say it’s incredibly fun, with lots of thrilling activities you’ll definitely be interested in..."

"I only like leisure activities." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet

"Wife~"

"Didn’t you say you only accepted one announcement? How come another program showed up?"

"I owed an old friend a favor. He told me he had a car accident and couldn’t participate in the program. After discussing with them, I went on the show, so he wouldn’t have to pay a penalty. They said it’s a huge amount..."

"How much?"

"Over ten million."

"That’s quite a lot." But that would just be an artifact refining spiritual level in her hands. However, since she didn’t know the people involved, she couldn’t just pay off debts for them without reason, right?

She just couldn’t figure out why Jiang Nuo would agree to participate in such a program. Didn’t he previously say he wanted to cut down on these activities?

Mu Qiuniang looked at him suspiciously.

Jiang Nuo felt a bit guilty.

"Is there something you’re hiding from me?"

"Sigh..." Jiang Nuo sighed, "Alright, I’ll tell you. During the announcements, I met some people from a neighboring TV program. While recording, they said we Huaxia people are too weak, that as soon as we enter this ’Wilderness Program’, we’d definitely die! They said a lot of harsh words, which made me uncomfortable, so I argued with them a bit, and then accidentally injured someone..."

Mu Qiuniang: "..." So that’s the so-called friend who had a car accident?

"Wife, I want these foreigners to know we Huaxia people are not weak at all, even women are stronger than their men."

Jiang Nuo didn’t mention that those derogatory remarks about Huaxia people stemmed from Mu Qiuniang’s outstanding performance at an international art exchange event. Since Huaxia nearly beat M Country, there was some resentment, with people claiming Huaxia are just "bookish scholars without strength to even truss a chicken", who can only handle inconsequential things, but would surely die in the ’Wilderness Program’.

They even made some particularly nasty comments about Huaxia women. Although they didn’t name names, Jiang Nuo knew they were referring to Mu Qiuniang. What do they mean by an old woman eating tender grass? One wonders if he would choke at night. He just wanted to beat them in their proudest ’Wilderness Program’ to choke them.

"Oh!"

"Wife, please, come with me, okay? Rest assured, I’ve been very diligently cultivating recently, I definitely won’t hold you back in the program." This statement felt awkward; shouldn’t I say I’d protect my wife instead?

"Hmm!"

"Wife, does ’Hmm’ mean you agree?"

"Hmm!"

"Wow! Wife, you’re awesome!" Jiang Nuo cheerfully lifted Mu Qiuniang up, "I love you the most, wife! I knew you’re the best to me!" A string of compliments.

Mu Qiuniang: "..."

Mu Feng was startled when he learned his great-grandaunt and grandaunt were going to participate in the ’Wilderness Program’.

"Grandaunt, granduncle, you have to be kidding, right? Have you seen this program? It’s very savage; they eat bugs and do all sorts of strange things on the show..."

As a civilized person in modern society, Mu Feng found it completely unacceptable for programs like ’Wilderness Program’ to have participants eat bizarre things or do disgusting things just to capture audience attention. It was unbearable to watch.

Mu Feng couldn’t imagine someone like his grandaunt or granduncle, being international superstars, participating in such a lowbrow program that relies on "barbarism + curiosity"?

Mu Feng looked at his "pampered" grandaunt and couldn’t imagine how she could endure such an environment. It was too harsh, going wherever the conditions were the worst, like Arctic icebergs, desolate swamps, or desert survival.

Mu Qiuniang shook her head, "Never watched it!" She had little interest in modern TV programs. If it weren’t for Jiang Nuo being in the entertainment industry, she probably wouldn’t even use things like mobile phones or social media.

"I’ve watched it! Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing." Those hardships would not be as tough as the military training he endured. Those devilish trainings were no joke, they were rigorous.

Moreover, with Mu Qiuniang as his trump card, he never believed any challenge could defeat her.

"But..."

"No buts!" Jiang Nuo changed the subject. He was just notifying, not asking for opinions, "Where’s your girlfriend? Didn’t you say she was coming over today?"

"Yeah, she’s on her way. She texted me saying she’s almost here." As Mu Feng spoke, he checked his phone. Luna’s device was very close, just a few minutes away.

Wait a second, why does it seem like her location has stopped moving?

Or maybe there’s a delay in the positioning?

Mu Feng waited a bit longer, but the location remained static. Unable to hold himself back, he called Luna, but no one answered.

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Nuo asked, seeing his anxious look.

"I don’t know, her location isn’t moving, and I can’t get through on the phone..."

Before Mu Feng finished speaking, Mu Qiuniang suddenly stood up, "You two wait here, I’m going to check!"

"Wait a minute, I’ll go with you!" Jiang Nuo quickly grabbed her.

"But, it could be dangerous for you!" Mu Qiuniang hesitated.

"Even if there’s danger, I can’t always let my wife take risks, can I? Qiuniang, I’m a man first!" Jiang Nuo said firmly.

Mu Qiuniang nodded, "Alright then!"

At this point, Mu Feng urgently asked, "Could it be that something happened to Luna? Can I come with you?"
