Chapter 116 - Thought He didn’t know what She was thinking? (1)
The Male Lead's Substitute Wife
When Chen Xiuqi who was sitting opposite her noticed the strange look in her eyes, he suddenly raised his head and saw her stiff face. He frowned slightly and said, âWhatâs wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?â
Su Yayaâs heart jumped. She immediately came back to her senses and put on a smile, saying, âI just wanted to ask, what are we having for lunch today?â
Chen Xiuqi put down the documents in his hands and walked over to hold her with both hands. He lowered his head and nibbled on her lips before answering seductively, âWhat do you say?â
Su Yaya pouted her red lips and put her arms around him. She looked up at him and asked, âWhat about tomato meatball soup, stir-fried vegetables, and shredded chili beef?â
Chen Xiuqi was fine with the first two dishes, but the last one would be a bit difficult for him. âIsnât shredded chili beef too spicy?â
Su Yaya grinned. âIâll eat it myself.â
Chen Xiuqi pinched her cheeks and said with a sullen expression, âThen what about me?â
Su Yaya answered him seriously, âYou can eat the others.â
Chen Xiuqi made a hum and said, âYou know what I mean.â
Sheâll finish her chili beef then sheâll come and kiss him. Did she think that he didnât know what she was thinking?
Su Yaya pursed her lips and said pitifully, âBut I want to eat it!â
âNot allowed!â Chen Xiuqi gave her a look of disapproval
Su Yaya leaned down towards him and said, âOkay, okay, anything you say.â
Chen Xiuqi looked at her pitiful appearance and felt a little better. He coaxed her, âYou can eat whatever you like the day after tomorrow when Iâm on my business trip. When that time comes I wonât say anything about it.â
Su Yaya said, âYouâre going on a business trip again?â
âIâm heading to S City for a bit,â Chen Xiuqi said.
âHow many days?â The longer the better, she hoped. Then she wouldnât have to take care of him anymore. Sheâll have peace and freedom.
Chen Xiuqi didnât know what she was thinking and thought that she couldnât bear to see him go. He said, âMaybe three to five days. But Iâll be back as soon as possible after my work is over.â
Su Yaya quickly said, âNo, you donât have to...â
âHm?â
When she met Chen Xiuqiâs inspecting gaze, Su Yaya quickly changed her tone. âI mean, you donât have to be in such a hurry. Work is important, itâs not too late to come back after everything is settled.â
After that, she looked at Chen Xiuqiâs face. His expression was the same as usual, which meant he didnât notice anything. Su Yaya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She nearly let her true feelings slip again.
She quickly said, âIâll go cook now.â
âGo on.â Chen Xiuqi let her go. While hurrying to the kitchen, she heard Chen Xiuqiâs warning voice from behind saying, âDonât make shredded chili beef.â
âOkay, got it,â Su Yaya answered him.
In the end, Su Yaya made tomato meatball soup, shiitake mushrooms with pork slices, and stir-fried vegetables. They were all common home dishes but they were delicious. Chen Xiuqi had a very satisfying meal.
After eating, it was rare for Chen Xiuqi, but he actually took the initiative to help clean up the dishes and put them into the dishwasher in the kitchen.
Taking advantage of her free time, Su Yaya sat on the sofa and pulled out her phone to play games. When Chen Xiuqi came out after settling the dishes, he went over to her and sat down, waiting for her to finish her game before stretching his arm over and pulling her in, saying, âLetâs take a trip over to second auntâs place.â
When she heard this, Su Yaya blinked. After transmigrating over for so long, she still had yet to see any of Chen Xiuqiâs family members so he didnât know what kind of person she was. Of course, the original host of her body had met them before, but that was only when she and Chen Xiuqi agreed to marry, and he brought her back home to see his grandfather that one time.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Yaya said, âWhat are we going there for?â
