The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

That would be the best. With the male lead Chen Xiuqi making his move, there'll be nothing a cannon fodder like her will have to worry about. She was happy to be free and relaxed.

"Xiuqi, you're the best," Su Yaya rubbed herself on Chen Xiuqi lovingly, showing great reliance on him.

A smile curved up on Chen Xiuqi's lips. He leaned down and kissed her at the corner of her lips.

Outside the ward, Duan Xiaoyu and Assistant Chen looked at each other. Then, smiles appeared on both their faces. As long as Su Yaya and Chen Xiuqi were both fine, then they can breathe easy.

Duan Xiaoyu's stomach suddenly grumbled. She looked at Assistant Chen a little embarrassedly, but Assistant Chen was a very caring person. He said, "I think it's a suitable time to celebrate with some supper. Would you like to join me?"

Duan Xiaoyu nodded. "Sure!"

Assistant Chen glanced at the two people inside the ward. Chen Xiuqi and Su Yaya were whispering to each other and didn't need him for now. So, he looked to Duan Xiaoyu and said, "Let's go."

Then, the two of them left together for food.

Inside of the ward, Su Yaya had just finished acting cute with Chen Xiuqi. She rubbed her belly and said pitifully, "I'm hungry."

"What do you want to eat?" Chen Xiuqi asked.

Su Yaya raised her chin and looked at the noodles on the table with a smile. Chen Xiuqi looked over and finally realized what that strange smell was coming from. It turns out that besides the smell of disinfectant, there was also the smell of instant noodles lingering in the room.

"There's no nutritional value in instant noodles." Chen Xiuqi looked at her with a serious face and said, "Why don't I ask Assistant Chen to buy you some supper from elsewhere instead?"

Su Yaya raised up a finger and said, "I want to eat it once. Just once. It's already been a long time since I last had it."

When he saw how much she wanted to eat it, and staring at him with those pitiful eyes filled with pleading, Chen Xiuqi's heart nearly melted. Silently, he sighed. He didn't know what he was going to do with her but forget it. What she wants is what she'll get. It's just eating instant noodles for one time, it's no big deal anyway. He could just take her out to eat some delicious and nutritious food later.

"You're only allowed to eat it this one time," Chen Xiuqi made himself clear.

Su Yaya nodded obediently. "Mhm, just this once."

Chen Xiuqi could only get up to bring her noodles over and placed it in front of her. "Here."

Su Yaya opened the lid and took a deep breath. It smells so good!

"Do you want some?" After taking a bite, Su Yaya raised her head to see Chen Xiuqi watching her eat, so she asked him with a smile.

The smell of the instant noodles was really alluring, crawling straight up people's noses and arousing their appetite. When Chen Xiuqi saw how deliciously Su Yaya was eating the noodles, he also felt a little hungry.

"I suddenly feel hungry as well. I'll eat the other bowl." After saying that, he walked to the table and picked up the other bowl. It was the one Duan Xiaoyu made for herself earlier.

Shen Xiuqi brought the bowl over and sat down next to Su Yaya. He opened the lid and dug in with the spoon.

The two people had their heads lowered, eating their noodles. Both of them looked up inadvertently and saw their reflections in each other's eyes, and they couldn't help but laugh.

It was a quiet night, and also in a hospital ward. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Su Yaya was eating instant noodles together with Chen Xiuqi, but they seemed to get the illusion that they were having a feast instead.

After supper, Duan Xiaoyu and Assistant Chen brought some food back for Su Yaya and Chen Xiuqi as well. When they returned to the ward, Su Yaya and Chen Xiuqi were actually playing games together. The two of them formed a team and temporarily recruited two more people to create a team full of experts. The four of them entered a dungeon and beat down the monsters like flowing water.
