The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

��No-Nothing.�� Su Yaya gulped nervously and spoke with a stutter.

Chen Xiuqi glanced over at her with a blank face and he snorted at her. After confirming that the smell of the durian had mostly dissipated in the ward, he finally entered.

��You��re here, honey! I missed you so much!�� Su Yaya sat on the bed, looking at Chen Xiuqi who had just came in. She had a sweet smile on her face with two cute little dimples on her cheek, looking very obedient.

Chen Xiuqi stood in front of the hospital bed and looked down at her from above. Towards that cute acting and pleasing face, he curled up one corner of his lips and said sternly to her, ��You��re not allowed to eat durian in the future.��

No durian?! Then life has lost all its fun!

��Honey���� Su Yaya wanted to beg for a compromise, like that she would eat it alone when he wasn��t around and assuring him it wouldn��t leave a smell.

��Hm?�� Chen Xiuqi raised a brow and said sternly again, ��There is nothing to discuss about.��

Su Yaya pouted. This is too much, too domineering! Does he have to manage even what she ate? Why wasn��t she allowed to eat durian? Oh, because he didn��t like it? What kind of reasoning is that! The more he doesn��t allow it, the more she��ll eat it. It wasn��t a big deal anyway she could just eat it while he was on a business trip. And she��s not just going to eat it, she was going to eat a lot of it! By the time he returned the smell would be gone. It would be strange if he could actually tell!

Just gotta hoodwink him now, right? She��ll just agree then eat when he wasn��t around. Right, that��s the way. Very good, very amazing, she has decided just that!

��Okay okay, I won��t eat it anymore in the future.�� Su Yaya looked at his serious but handsome face and promised him.

Now that��s better!

Chen Xiuqi was finally satisfied and the grimness of his face improved considerably. He reached out to pet her head and said, ��Be good, Yaya. I can give you anything you want but not durians.��

Hah!

Su Yaya snorted in her heart. That��s right, she just had to deal with him right now.

Perhaps Su Yaya��s acting skills were too good, but Chen Xiuqi didn��t notice anything. He helped her back to the bed and when he saw her sprained ankle, he reached over to touch it, asking, ��Does it hurt?��

Su Yaya looked at him and immediately began the pitiful act. ��Yeah, it hurt a lot! When the platform fell down I thought I was going to die, and I wouldn��t be able to see you anymore. When they saved me from under that thing and sent me to the hospital, my heart was still jumping and I was in a daze. It wasn��t until the doctor checked me and told me I was fine that I felt much better.��

Even though Su Yaya was a bit overboard with the pity act, Chen Xiuqi had still asked. If she had stepped just a bit further away and Xu CHengkun didn��t rush to her in time, that platform would fall right on her head. If it was a serious case, then it may crush her head. Just thinking about the consequences, he knew it was serious.

Even though he knew she was acting, he still couldn��t help but feel pity for her when he thought of how terrifying it really was. He himself was afraid. What could he do if she really got heavily injured that way?

��Are you scared after something so serious happened? Do you still dare to be careless?�� Even Chen Xiuqi felt scared thinking about it.

Su Yaya responded, ��I was just standing there at that time, how would I have known that it would fall down? It has nothing to do with whether I��m careful or not.��

��You��re still talking back at me? What if it hits you on your head? What if it breaks something?�� Chen Xiuqi frowned at her, thinking to himself, just how brave is this woman?

Su Yaya thought about it and it did seem a little scary. So, she gave him a cute ��okay��.

��Okay? If Xu Chengkun hadn��t saved you then you would be laying on that bed.�� Xu Chengkun felt like she still didn��t know her faults yet so he nagged her with a grim face.

Su Yaya felt very wronged too. She looked at him and said, ��Then what was I supposed to do? I didn��t want it to happen either!��
