The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

When he saw her three fair and tender fingers, Chen Xiuqi knew what to do.

"Okay." Su Yaya nodded, looking as happy as a little hamster.

Chen Xiuqi said seriously to her, "The amount is not important, as long as you're happy. After you receive the money, you can buy whatever you like."

"You're right, honey," Su Yaya readily agreed.

"I'll be hanging up then. I have a meeting in a bit," Chen Xiuqi told her.

"Okay, bye bye then." With a sweet smile, Su Yaya waved to him on the video call.

After the call was over, Su Yaya went to settle other stuff. Then, in less than twenty minutes, the notification bell of her phone rang.

She walked over to the bed and turned on her phone screen just to see the message from the bank.

Dear Su Yaya, your debit card ending in XXXX has just received a transfer of 300,000 yuan…

Su Yaya, "…"

She stared at the message and seriously counted the number of zeros many times. After confirming that it was 300,000 yuan and not 30,000, she was dumbfounded.

I thought this was supposed to be pocket money? I thought he said the amount is not important as long as I'm happy? Giving her so much money and even telling her to buy whatever she wants. She could go to a small county in her hometown right now and pay the down payment for a house already.

Su Yaya quickly messaged Assistant Chen, saying, "Did you deposit the right amount President Chen asked you to send me?"

Assistant Chen just so happened to see the messages and his heart sank for a moment. Could he have made a mistake? Then, he quickly checked the records and confirmed that he did send 300,000 as instructed by President Chen. He didn't transfer it wrong.

So, he responded to her. "It's correct. I transferred it based on President Chen's orders. Is there anything wrong with it, Miss Su?"

Su Yaya quickly looked over the text he sent several times and confirmed that he said 300,000, then she put up three fingers again. So it turns out that this means 300,000 instead of 30,000 in Chen Xiuqi's eyes.

In that case, she didn't dare to put up any of her fingers to Chen Xiuqi in the future.

On Chen Xiuqi's side, he had no idea at all about what Su Yaya was thinking. While he was in the meeting, he thought to himself, would it be too little to transfer 300,000 over to her? Would that be enough? Sigh, he really couldn't stop worrying about her. So, he decided that he will find some time in a few days to go over to the studio to check on her condition!

A few days later, while Chen Xiuqi was busy with work and a meeting in Kyoto, Su Yaya whom he couldn't stop worrying about was seriously busying about with the shoot in the set.

Su Yaya who had been named noble lady as soon as she entered the palace was dressed in a pale red robe with a complex pattern as she walked over from the long covered walkway, and she bumped into Xu Chengkun who played as the emperor. Quickly, she bowed down to greet him.

"Respects to the emperor."

The emperor Xu Chengkun, stopped in his steps to look over Su Yaya with a deep gaze. After he saw her pretty face, his gaze grew even deeper. "It is Noble Lady Shu. Why are you here?"

"Responding to the emperor, this lady has heard that the begonia flowers in the royal garden have bloomed, thus came to take a look," Su Yaya answered in a tender voice.

Emperor Xu Chengkun stared at her and responded with a simple "oh" before a smile emerged on his face. "It just so happens that We are free right now. Why don't We accompany Lady Shu to see the begonias?"

"Really?" Noble Lady Shu Su Yaya raised her head in pleasant surprise, her big beautiful eyes shining like jewels as she looked at the emperor, Xu Chengkun.

Emperor Xu Chengkun was attracted by her gaze and reached a hand to her, saying, "Of course."

Noble Lady Shu Su Yaya was overjoyed as she quickly took his hand and stood up with his help. In a tender tone, she said, "Thank you, your highness."
