Chapter 123 - Want to Watch You Sleep (2)
The Male Lead's Substitute Wife
When Su Yaya reached her floor, Assistant Chen was waiting for her outside of the elevator. When he saw her, he smiled and said, âMiss Su, President Chen is waiting for you in the office. Please follow me.â
âSorry to trouble you.â Su Yaya nodded to him and followed him into Chen Xiuqiâs office.
This was not the first time Su Yaya came to Chen Xiuqiâs office, but this was the first time she saw him scolding someone. Ah, thatâs not right, this is the second time. The first time she was resting in the lounge when she overheard Chen Xiuqi scolding An Yuting. This time, Chen Xiuqi was scolding the marketing director so much that he didnât dare to make a single peep because the marketing plans werenât done well enough.
Su Yaya heard Chen Xiuqiâs scolding voice from outside of the office. She quickly tugged at Assistant Chen and whispered, âI think itâs better if we wait a while before going in. Iâll go sit in the parlor room for now.â
After some thought, Assistant Chen agreed. So, he brought Su Yaya to the parlor room for a seat.
Su Yaya put her lunchbox on the table and took out her phone to pass the time on Weibo. After about ten minutes, Assistant Chen came over and called out to her. âMiss Su, President Chen is asking you to come in.â
âOkay.â Su Yaya stood up and followed Assistant Chen into Chen Xiuqiâs office with her lunchbox.
In the office, Chen Xiuqi had taken off his suit jacket and also pulled off his tie with the top button of his white shirt loose. He was standing akimbo in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the outside.
âXiuqi,â Su Yaya called out to him. When she saw him turn around, she quickly said, âItâs time for lunch.â
Chen Xiuqi looked at her and his expression eased a little as he walked towards her.
âWhat delicious food did you make today?â Chen Xiuqi sat on the sofa and watched her open up the lunchbox and place the dishes on the table.
âRoasted chicken with yams, sweet and sour pork ribs, and three-delicacies soup.â Su Yaya arranged the dishes for him and passed Chen Xiuqi his bowl and chopsticks.
âIt looks good. Smells really good too,â Chen Xiuqi praised.
âThen eat more.â Su Yaya smiled at him and said, âYou can only work hard when youâve eaten your fill.â
When he saw how sweetly she was smiling, he felt enchanted. No matter how bad his mood was before this, he felt a lot better. She really was his treasure, so Chen Xiuqi thought.
âIâm going to S City for a business trip tomorrow. Is there anything you want? I can bring it back for you.â
After eating, Su Yaya packed up his bowl and chopsticks while Chen Xiuqi rested on the sofa. That was what he asked her right then.
Su Yaya didnât have a lack for anything right now. She had everything she needed, so there wasnât anything special she wanted, so she said, âHm, anything will do. Thereâs nothing special I want.â
When he heard that, Chen Xiuqi teased her. âThen I wonât buy you anything.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Yaya paused for a moment. she took a glance at him and smirked. âThatâs fine too, itâs not like Iâm lacking anything anyway!â
âWhen did you become so cute?â Chen Xiuqi reached out to pull her beside him. He looked down at her fair slender hands and clasped his big hand around it, their fingers interlocking.
âIâve always been cute!â Su Yaya responded firmly.
Chen Xiuqi chuckled. Then, he went up to her for a kiss.
He didnât know why, but even though he was just going to peck her, he couldnât bear to leave after having a taste of her. Chen Xiuqi took the initiative to deepen their kiss, sucking on her lips and tongue. He couldnât get enough no matter what.
When they separated, Su Yaya was a bit breathless from their kiss. A faint red could also be seen staining her cheeks like a layer of rouge.
