Chapter 186 - Visiting Xu Chengkun (2)
The Male Lead's Substitute Wife
This time it was Chen Xiuqiâs turn to be tongue-tied. He looked at Su Yaya and couldnât figure out how to answer for a moment. He knew that this had nothing to do with Yaya too. Nobody could have known that it would fall down. Su Yaya just so happened to be standing there so she really couldnât be blamed for it. But he was just worried!
âFine, forget it. Itâs good that youâre safe.â Chen Xiuqi reached out to pet her head. It was a way to comfort her, but also himself.
Su Yaya responded with an âmhmâ and felt a little better. Then, when she thought back to how serious he made it out to be, Xu Chengkun was now a great savior to her after saving her like that. So, she asked Chen Xiuqi, âSince Xu Chengkun saved me, how should I thank him?â
Chen Xiuqi looked at her and said, âIâll deal with that. You donât have to do anything.â
âHow can that do? He saved me so I have to thank him no matter what. Only then can I show my sincerity,â Su Yaya told him seriously.
After some thought, it did make sense after all. So, Chen Xiuqi asked her, âHow are you planning to thank him?â
Su Yaya cocked her head to the side in thought. âWhy donât you bring me over to say thank you in person?â
âJust that?â
Su Yaya nodded. âJust that.â
A smile curved up on Chen Xiuqiâs face, then he reached out to pinch her cheek. âDonât you think thatâs too apathetic to your benefactor?â
Su Yaya responded, âUh...â
Chen Xiuqiâs lips curved up into a smile. âAt the very least, you should get him a big gift!â
âIs that okay?â Su Yaya asked, looking up.
Chen Xiuqi took her hand and sat beside her, speaking seriously. âThatâs how it should be done! He did save you.â
Since Chen Xiuqi said so, there wasnât much Su Yaya could say. So, she answered, âOkay then, weâll do as you say.â
Chen Xiuqi smiled. He didnât expect it to be so simple, so he said, âIâll bring you over right now, then.â
âOkay.â Su Yaya quickly tried to get out of bed.
Chen Xiuqi stopped her and said, âYour foot is injured. Iâll go get you a wheelchair.â
Since her sprained ankle was still throbbing with pain, there wasnât much Su Yaya could say. Chen Xiuqi went out to find a nurse and soon found her a wheelchair.
When she saw Chen Xiuqi coming in with the wheelchair, Su Yaya couldnât help but laugh. âIf I go over on a wheelchair, itâll look like my injury is too serious.â
Chen Xiuqi eyed her and said, âYou nearly became seriously injured, though.â
Su Yaya pouted and said, âGot it.â
After that, she reached her arms out to Chen Xiuqi, saying cutely, âHug.â
That was such a coquettish scene that it went straight to Chen Xiuqiâs heart. When he saw the look of need in her eyes, he quickly came over and carried her onto the wheelchair.
Su Yaya swung her injured foot and laughed. âLetâs go.â
âSit still,â Chen Xiuqi said in a deep voice from behind.
âIâm sitting fine,â Su Yaya quickly responded.
Chen Xiuqi pushed her out of the ward and headed to Xu Chengkunâs room next door.
In the ward next to theirs, Xu Chengkunâs agent, Brother Li, was looking at him with a frown on his face. âSo tell me. You injured your arm and the doctor is telling you to rest for several months. Things will be bad if you delay the shooting.â
âI didnât think too much at that time, I just needed to save her. After all, itâs not like I could just stand around and watch her get hit in that situation, right?â Xu Chengkun was a righteous person so he couldnât just sit by and watch someone get in danger.
Brother Li sighed. âI understand that just as well, and I know youâre not that kinda guy. Iâm not telling you that you shouldnât have saved her, Iâm just saying that youâve suffered such a great injury that you wouldnât even say youâre hurt. Youâre delaying things and you even made your fans worry. Even your family is worried.â
âItâll be fine,â Xu Chengkun laughed. âIâll make a post on Weibo later to tell everyone Iâm safe so donât worry, Brother Li. Even though my arm is hurt, I just donât have to move it and Iâll be fine. It wouldnât be a problem in acting. I can be discharged in a few days.â
Brother Li wasnât a bad person either, and itâs not like he thought he shouldnât have saved her. He was just worried about Xu Chengkun and felt bad for him.
