The Male Lead's Substitute Wife

Chapter 258 It’s True (3)

Mother Su said, “Don’t worry. Yaya seems different from the past. She has really become mature. We come from an ordinary family as well, lacking the power and wealth from like Shen Family. If Yaya really gets together with Chen Xiuqi, I won’t feel comforted. After all, if she gets married, she’d have to move away. If she suffers grievances, we can’t help her either. Now that Yaya and Chen Xiuqi broke up and returned to our side, we can take good care of her too. Yaya is really outstanding, so isn’t it the same if she finds someone better?”

Father su paused before humming in agreement. “Yaya had suffered a lot outside and she finally came back home. We need to try our best to be nicer to her.”

Mother su also exclaimed, “That’s what I’m thinking too...”

The two chatted for a bit as Su Yaya stood outside and listened to their conversation. Her eyes teared up right then. A strange feeling rose inside her heart. She thought it wasn’t really her feeling but it came from deep inside her heart. She thought it was probably the original body’s feelings for her parents.

She stood outside for a while. Afraid that the two in the room would notice her, Su Yaya quickly walked back to her room and laid in bed, hugging her blankets. Recalling Mother and Father Su’s kind faces and the kind parents she had, she thought she must treat them even better in the future. That way, she’d be deserving of their concern and care.

...

Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. Chen Xiuqi was in America dealing with overseas subsidiary company’s matters and had to work tens of hours every day. He felt most relaxed when he received information from Lin Hai about Su Yaya.

The pictures included Su Yaya accompanying her mother to go grocery shopping, strolling in the forest, and feeding livestocks. They lived carefree and peaceful days, just like the days she dreamed of in her dreams.

The business in agritourism was really good. Whenever it hit the weekends, business flourished and became prosperous. Su Yaya, this investor, really made the right choice. She really had good taste!

Today, Chen Xiuqi came out after he finished with work. It was already past dinner time and he felt a bit dizzy from starvation. He decided to eat at the restaurant downstairs. While sitting and waiting for food, he saw a couple sitting diagonally across.

The man cut the steak up slice by slice and then fed it to the woman across. The latter smiled and exclaimed, “Hubby, mwah.” The man couldn’t help but laugh, pinching the woman’s beautiful face, his eyes pampering.

The woman then fed the man a piece as well, sweetly saying, “Hubby, try this. Does it taste good?” The man moved over and ate the piece of steak on the fork. Then, he flattered, “It’s delicious. Thank you wifey.” The woman then curled her lips up, smiling.

Chen Xiuqi suddenly silent as he stared at the lovey-dovey couple, feeling bittersweet inside. He recalled the days with Su Yaya. She had fed him steak before as well and the two were in a pretty good relationship back then. They laughed and enjoyed themselves every day. The days were as beautiful as it could be. He thought that the two of them could last until forever. What a pity that he lost Su Yaya in the end.

He thought that he couldn’t allow this to continue anymore. He needed to do something...

This morning, Su Yaya woke up to get freshened up. The moment she started brushing her teeth, she couldn’t help but start retching. Nothing came out after this episode of retching. She thought of the saying on TV: if one feels disgusted in the morning and retches, that means they have chronic pharyngitis. She had this issue anyway, so she didn’t place this inside her heart. After she got freshened up, she started a new day’s worth of work at the agritourism.
