Saving the Second Male Lead: What to Do When You Enter a Domineering Boss's Novel

"Uh..." Qiao Yisha said stiffly, "He...he went to deal with something and is not around."

"Hmph, even if it means sacrificing my life, I will make it clear to His Highness Bo Luoxun..." Before Mr. Qiao could finish his words, Mrs. Qiao snatched the phone away from him, "Yisha, can we use this number to contact you in the future? Don't worry, we won't bother you often."

"Okay...Okay, I'll call back too."

"Well, don't rush back. Play more with His Highness outside and make up for the past twenty years. That's it, Isa, I'm going to hang up first. Go to bed early. Good night."

Qiao Yisha put down the phone and said, "What's going on? Didn't Evan say that they would cancel the engagement? Why did my parents think that..."

"Maybe he feels sorry for your family and is considering how to deal with it."

"Really..." She always felt something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.

"Okay, now that you're safe, can you stay with me with peace of mind?" Nangong Xianyue took the phone from her hand.

"I should go back early and explain it to them clearly. Let's keep it a secret for now, otherwise they will worry." Qiao Yisha thought.

"Go back and tell them when you've had enough fun. They're not in a hurry to let you go back anyway, so don't worry about it, okay?"

"This is the only way. How long will it take to stop at the next port?" she asked.

"a."

"I'll get off the boat then."

Nangong Xianyue curled her fingers slightly at her side, her face expressionless: "Okay."

Qiao Yisha narrowed her eyes at him: "Do you want to go home with me?"

"Little Isa wants to take me back to meet our parents?" Nangong Xianyue stepped forward and put his arm around her waist, pulling her close to him.

"What? Don't you dare?"

"Why not? I'd love to have it." He raised his hand and rubbed Qiao Yisha's red lips with his fingertips. His light grey eyes looked at her affectionately. "I wish I could announce to the world tomorrow that you, Qiao Yisha, are the only wife I, Nangong Xianyue, have chosen, my queen."

After hearing this, Qiaosha smiled brightly and felt extremely satisfied. At the same time, there was a question that was like a dark cloud, hovering in her mind and could not be shaken off.

So she hooked her arm around his neck and asked, "I've always been curious, why did you say I was your wife as soon as you saw me? I've never seen you before. And... you're so nice to me, is it because of... that person?"

As she said this, her smile slowly faded, and the arm that was hooked around his neck gradually lost its strength.

Nangong Xianyue noticed it, grabbed her wrist and asked her to hug his neck again, his voice gentle but solemn: "Because you are Qiao Yisha, and there is no such person. The one I love has always been you, and only you."

Qiao Yisha bit her lower lip, confused: "What about the beautiful, powerful, and omnipotent person you mentioned?"

"It's you."

She shook her head and pushed him away, with some disappointment in her eyes, "I know myself well, it can't be me. I'm as timid as a mouse, and I have nothing to do with being omnipotent."

"I swear, what I said is true. I will tell you everything when I have the chance and when you are ready, but obviously not now." He explained solemnly.

"It's not that I don't want to believe you, it's just that this is all too suspicious." Although Qiao Yisha had never said it out loud, she kept it all in mind. It's just that she didn't care about it before, but now she is serious and has to ask clearly.

"Why did Mogaxianer say I was a ghost when he saw me? It was as if he had seen someone who looked exactly like me die. The ring you gave me is not my size at all. And Baiquan, she said with certainty that I was a substitute, and that I was not as good as the original one..." When she said this, her eyes sank.

"Moga Xian'er is always jumpy. He just recognized the wrong person. As for Baiquan, I will deal with her. Don't believe her unfounded words. As for the ring, it was my negligence, but it is really yours."

"Baiquan has been with you for several years. What is there about you that she doesn't know? How could she say something without basis? Why don't you admit openly that you just treat me as someone else's shadow?"

She finally couldn't help but burst out and shouted at him.

If she didn't mention it, she could deliberately not think about it. Now that she said it out loud, she felt a pain in her heart as if it was being cut by a knife.

Will he suddenly sneer and say, Ha, congratulations, you finally found out the truth. Or will he say, Yes, I just use you as a substitute.

She lowered her head, tears falling uncontrollably to the ground.

"Are you trying to piss me off to death?" The man opposite said with gritted teeth. Qiao Yisha's breathing stagnated. As expected...

The next second, the man in front of her reached out and held her in his arms. In surprise, the man said, "Joyesha is Qiaoyesha. There is only one Qiaoyesha in the world. You are not someone's shadow. You are you. You are timid, afraid of the dark, afraid of pain, and afraid of death. You are beautiful, powerful, omnipotent, and gentle. You are also the one who cries, loses your temper, and has no sense of security."

Every word struck her heart hard, catching her off guard. The paper fortress she had built inside of her showed signs of collapsing again, but the man's confession continued.

"You are the only one I cherish and hold in my hands. You are the only one I dream of and think about day and night. You are the only one I yearn for and want in my life, standing in front of me."

Joysa's hands were shaking slightly as she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. Could she really believe what she was saying?

If what he said was not true, why did he indulge her in every way, obey her in everything, and give her the best things in the world? Why did he always try so hard to coax her and take care of her...

She looked up at Nangong Xianyue, the king of Xizhou who was high and mighty, a superior who had everything he wanted. Why was he craving for her love here so much, if he was not sincere?

She couldn't figure it out, but her heart made the decision for her. The fortress of reason collapsed, and the barrenness of emotion rushed out of the towering trees.

"You've been crying so often lately that I thought you were in love." He wiped away her tears and chuckled.

"What you said was so corny, I couldn't help it." She replied, wiping away the tears from her face.

Nangong Xianyue smiled, "A week later, I will accompany you off the ship, and I will agree to go wherever you want."

"Ah."

The day before the cruise ship arrived at the dock, Joysa was obviously much more excited than usual, and she was humming songs while walking and taking a shower.

"Don't you like it here? Are you so happy to leave?" Nangong Xianyue, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, asked.

Qiao Yisha shook her head: "I like it very much, but I have played everything I could in the past two weeks. I am getting bored."
