The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

If An Yuting had not come to him today and told him this, he wouldn't have known.

He admits that he was extremely angry when he heard that Su Yaya was together with Xu Chaoran. He had long reminded her to stay away from Xu Chaoran, but would never expect that she would completely disregard his words. This woman is just so naughty, she should be caught and brought back for a hard lesson.

But these annoying thoughts all dispersed as soon as he saw Su Yaya's playful requests to be comforted. Instead, they were replaced with heartache for her.

He was not affected by the words written by Reporter X, nor the comments left by the netizens and fans on the internet, much less what An Yuting told him. He had his own judgment.

Even if he had a knot with Xu Chaoran, and even if Su Yaya really appeared quite close with Xu Chaoran, the first thing he thought when he saw those photos were that Su Yaya had fallen into the water, Su Yaya had gotten sick, but the one to save her was actually Xu Chaoran! He didn't blame her, he just felt sad, and even wondered right now, how was she doing? She also didn't give him a call. She could have at least called to cry to him, or even just a complaint was fine!

He was just about to instruct Assistant Chen to suppress the negative comments towards Su Yaya on the net, but the instant he received Su Yaya's messages, a wonderful feeling washed through his heart.

Every single message she sent him was just as flirty and playful as he remembered. They were filled with attachment to him. His heart quickly softened, so much so that it had almost melted.

"Assistant Chen, book a ticket for me," Chen Xiuqi instructed. He wanted to see Su Yaya.

"Yes," Assistant Chen responded. He opened up the ticket booking app on his phone and began booking tickets for Chen Xiuqi.

While Assistant Chen was booking the flight, Chen Xiuqi called another person he knew. Not for anything else, but just to deal with the disparaging comments toward Su Yaya. He told that person, "Tell someone to deal with those comments. You know better than me what should be done. And that Reporter X guy, get him to stop. All he does all day is make up false remarks."

The person on the other side laughed. "President Chen! You're getting mad for a woman?"

Chen Xiuqi's face darkened. "Are you doing it or not? I can look for someone else. There's plenty of people out there willing to take the job."

There was no way the person on the other end of the line would dare to say no. Not only would he get money when the job was done, he would even deepen his connection with Chen Xiuqi. He quickly said, "I'll get to it right now. I'll definitely do a good job for you."

"Alright. I'm hanging up." After he was done, Chen Xiuqi hung up.

In less than half an hour, Reporter X deleted his post on Weibo. Very quickly, another clarification post went up.

Reporter X: "Su Yaya and Xu Chaoran are really just apprentice brothers and sisters. Su Yaya accidentally fell into the water during filming and Xu Chaoran was the closest to her, that was why he was the first to jump in and save her. Su Yaya got sick because of this so Xu Chaoran took her to the hospital out of care as colleagues. There's no other meaning behind it. It was me who posted without checking things first, causing everyone a great misunderstanding. I also caused them great distress. I want to make a deep apology now to both Su Yaya and Xu Chaoran. I hope they can forgive me. Sorry."
