Chapter 119 - Don’t Give Gifts, Just Give Money! (1)
The Male Lead's Substitute Wife
After Zhang Guifang was done writing her prescription, she handed it to Chen Xiuqi so he could go retrieve it from the pharmacist. After he got the medicine, the hospital decocted it for them. After it was done, they were divided into several bags. She would take one bag each time, and theyâll be ready after heating it up in hot water for a bit.
Chen Xiuqi brought back the medicine that was prepared early on and saw only Zhang Guifang in the office. He asked, âAuntie, whereâs Yaya?â
Zhang Guifang looked up from her files and said, âShe went to the bathroom.â
Chen Xiuqi put down the medicine and sat down on the stool at the side, waiting for her.
Zhang Guifang said to him, âI think your relationship has improved. When I first saw you bring her home, you were just married then, and you werenât as close as you are now. I can feel at ease when I see the two of you like this. I keep thinking you were still young like you were before, itâs hard to believe youâre married now.â
Chen Xiuqi laughed. âYou make me sound like Iâm still a child.â
Zhang Guifang told him, âYouâll always be a child in my eyes.â
Chen Xiuqi refuted, âAuntie, Iâve already been married for several months.â
Zhang Guifang nodded. âYes, youâre married. You brought Yaya here this time because you plan to have a child, am I right? But Yayaâs current condition is not so good. Itâs better for her to get better before the two of you try for one. It wouldnât be too late.â
Chen Xiuqi frowned when he heard those words. âNothingâs wrong with Yayaâs body, right?â
When Zhang Guifang saw how concerned he was about his wife, she smiled, âJust look at how nervous you are. Thereâs no big issues, donât worry. As long as she rests well and takes her medicine on time, sheâll be fine after a while.â
Chen Xiuqi was clearly relaxed after hearing that. He said, âThatâs good then!â
Well, isnât he quite worried!
After Su Yaya returned from the bathroom, these were the words he heard Chen Xiuqi and Zhang Guifang talking about just as she reached the door.
Then, Zhang Guifang continued and said, âWhen Yayaâs body gets better you can have a big fat baby. If youâre too busy to take care of them, you can bring them to me. I can take care of them for you.â
Chen Xiuqi laughed. âYou think you can trick me into having kids because cousin doesnât want to have any? I wonât be fooled! If you want to raise a kid, go look for my cousin!â
Zhang Guifang was laughing as well. She pointed at him and said, âYou two brothers! What am I going to...â But suddenly, she seemed to have seen a figure at the door. She quickly changed her tone. âIs Yaya back?â
When Yaya heard her voice, she knew she couldnât stand at the door any longer. So, with a smile, she walked in and said, âAuntie, what were you two talking about thatâs so funny?â
Zhang Guifang laughed and said, âWe were just having a chat. Xiuqi says you donât like eating medicine, but you still have to take it for the sake of your health. After you finish your course, come back and Iâll take a look at you again. This is all for your own good. Us women should take good care of ourselves, men donât understand these things.â
Chen Xiuqi was unhappy to hear that. âAuntie, Iâm sitting right there. If you teach my wife bad things, what am I going to do if Yaya doesnât want to talk to me anymore? Are you going to pay me back a wife?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhang Guifang laughed and pointed at him. âSee, thatâs what I mean! Canât I say one word about you?â She put on an angry look and waved her hand at him. âHurry and take your wife home, otherwise Iâm going to turn your wife bad.â
But who knew that Chen Xiuqi would actually take this opportunity to say, âBut of course!â He took Su Yayaâs hand and said goodbye to Zhang Guifang. âWell, weâll be going now, auntie.â
