The Male Lead's Substitute Wife

Chapter 288 Just One (1)

As they walked to the back of the supermart, Su Yaya saw that there hawthorns on the shelves, hawthorns that tasted sweet along with a hint of sour were so delicious, she loved to eat them when she was young, she drooled from just the thought of the taste, so she took two bags happily and placed them in the shopping basket.

Shen Xiuqi saw the hawthorns. The precautions list stated that she couldn’t have them, and he quickly said: “Pregnant women can’t eat hawthorns.”

Su Yaya glared at him and said, “I’ve loved to eat these ever since I was a child, I’m even drooling at the mere sight of them, I really want to eat them.”

Shen Xiuqi was firm: “You can’t have them, it’s a hard no.”

Su Yaya placed her palms together and begged, “I’ll just buy one pack, ok? Just one small pack, ok? You can help me eat most of it, and I’ll eat the small part that’s left.”

Upon seeing her pitiful appearance, her lips pouted, her eyes started to water, as if she would cry if he disagrees.

There was no other way, Shen Xiuqi’s heart softened, in the end, he agreed to buy her a small packet.

Who knew that when they got back, after Su Yaya ate that small bag of hawthorns, her stomach began to hurt, Shen Xiuqi was so frightened that his face turned pale, he quickly picked her up and ran towards the car, they drove all the way to the best hospital in the city, he wasn’t sure how many red lights he had drove past on the road.

When Shen Xiuqi drove, his heart beated frantically quickly, as he watched Su Yaya beside him with furrowed brows, he just wanted to drive even faster.

Fortunately, the journey wasn’t too far. When they arrived at the hospital, Shen Xiuqi carried Su Yaya and got out of the car. He didn’t even dare to let her go. Even if Su Yaya said her tummy wasn’t as painful anymore, he felt very anxious, he was afraid that something would happen to her and the baby in her tummy.

They rushed into the hospital, Shen Xiuqi hurriedly called for a doctor, a nurse heard them and came up to ask what was wrong? Shen Xiuqi, who was carrying Su Yaya, said to the nurse: “She’s pregnant and her stomach is hurting.”

The nurse hurriedly said, “Come with me, the doctor is this way.” Then she led him to the examination room for a checkup.

When they arrived in the examination room, the doctor came to check, when the doctor’s gaze met with Su Yaya’s, she realised that she knew who her patient was.

“Su Yaya, I’m Bai Qiqi, do you remember me?” The doctor said as she pointed to her face.

Once she mentioned this, Su Yaya really did remember who she was. She was one of the original owner’s best friends. When they were in high school together, they were deskmates. Bai Qiqi’s grades were better than Su Yaya, so Bai Qiqi often helped Su Yaya with her schoolwork. At that time, Su Yaya was the prettiest girl in class. People tend to easily get jealous over someone’s beauty, so there weren’t many girls who played with Su Yaya, Bai Qiqi was one of the few.

Su Yaya smiled and said, “Of course I remember you, Bai Qiqi.”

Bai Qiqi immediately smiled, and said: “I thought you wouldn’t remember me since you’re such a big star now. When did you return? Why didn’t you tell me that you’re back?”

Actually, Su Yaya didn’t plan to contact any of her old friends during this period of time that she had returned. After all, she wasn’t the original owner, and there was no way that she could get along with her friends just like how the original owner did, so it was best not to contact any of them. This time, she just happened to bump into Bai Qiqi.

When she was asked about this, Su Yaya had to look for a valid reason: “My old phone broke, and I forgot where I placed my address book. I couldn’t find any of my classmates’ contacts, so I couldn’t notify you guys, but I opened a farmhouse in Bai Zhi Garden and promoted it on Weibo, don’t you guys know about it?”
