The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

Chen Xiuqi personally brought her back to the hotel and after looking at the room she was living in, he disliked it. It was too small and normal.

Su Yaya pulled him and said, "Ok, ok. Don't be picky. Everyone lives in a room like this. Didn't we agree that we won't do special treatment last time?"

Chen Xiuqi looked at her helplessly, reaching over to bring her into his arms. He said, feeling bad, "Ok, ok. We won't do special treatment and make others feel like you have an attitude."

Su Yaya nodded her head repeatedly and said, "Mhm."

Chen Xiuqi felt like it was too tiring for Su Yaya. She sighed and said, "While shooting your scene, you either fell into water or almost got knocked down by a shelf. It feels as though you're incompatible with the feng-shui of the cast. Shooting scenes is very tiring. Don't shoot in the future."

Su Yaya widened her eyes and looked at him. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking and really wanted her to stop shooting scenes in the future, she hurriedly rejected. She shook her head and said, "No, no, no. I like shooting scenes. Those were just accidents. You promised to not deprive me of my hobbies."

"I don't want you to be so tired." Chen Xiuqi emphasized.

Su Yaya still refused. "You still can't do that."

She firmly rejected, unwavering.

Chen Xiuqi could do nothing about it, so he let it go for now. "Then go ahead. As long as you're happy."

"Really?" Su Yaya asked, uncertain.

At this time, Chen Xiuqi couldn't really force her, so he nodded. "Yes."

Su Yaya felt a bit happier. She hugged Chen Xiuqi's arm and looked up at him, smiling. "Xiuqi, thank you."

She was cuter when she smiled. He liked her and he didn't like seeing her worried expression. He convinced himself in his heart that she liked to shoot scenes, so he should just let her have her way.

Su Yaya returned to the cast to shoot scenes the second day after she was discharged from the hospital. Chen Xiuqi personally brought her to the cast. Xu Hui, Zhou Tongguang, and the others were all polite towards them.

Chen Xiuqi said expressionlessly, "Make sure the cast takes good security measures. Thankfully, nothing big happened this time. As the investor, I don't want anything to happen to the cast nor for anyone to get hurt. No one can assume responsibility over this."

"Right, President Chen is right. We will make sure to take good security measures. This won't happen ever again. Please don't worry." The sweat on Xu Hui's back had soaked his shirt. Although Chen Xiuqi wasn't angry and didn't interrogate them for Su Yaya's injury, Xu Hui felt a strong sense of pressure with Chen Xiuqi's words. He almost couldn't handle it.

"That's best." Chen Xiuqi nodded and then told Xu Hui some things before leaving the cast.

When he left, Su Yaya brought him to the car and stood by the door, staring at him and saying, "Be careful on your way. Call me when you're there. I'll miss you."

When Chen Xiuqi heard this, he softly smiled and said, "Don't work too hard while shooting your scenes. I told Xu Hui to move your scenes to the day, so you don't need to shoot scenes too late at night. You can go back and rest earlier now."

When Su Yaya heard this, she said, overwhelmed, "Xiuqi, you're too nice to me."

Chen Xiuqi smiled and said, "Silly, if I'm not nice to you, who should I be nice to?"

Su Yaya giggled and said, "That's true."

Chen Xiuqi said, "I'm leaving. Remember to video call me at night."

"Yes, yes." Su Yaya nodded her head repeatedly and waved at Chen Xiuqi, watching as the car drove far into the distance.

Later on, whenever she finished shooting her scenes and returned to the hotel, after she showered at night and sent a video call invitation to Chen Xiuqi, she just realized that Chen Xiuqi had dug a pit for her in the beginning!

Heh! What a crafty businessman. Su Yaya really wanted to roll her eyes at Chen Xiuqi!

The author has something to say:

Su Yaya: Heh, crafty businessman!

Chen Xiuqi: How else am I going to pursue you if I'm not crafty?
