Chapter 290 - Just One (3)
The Male Lead's Substitute Wife
Su Yaya tugged on his sleeve and said, âWhere are you going?â
Shen Xiuqi turned around and whispered, âIâm going to the bathroom.â
Su Yaya let go of him, Shen Xiuqi stroked her hair, turned around and walked out.
At the bathroom, Shen Xiuqi took out a cigarette that he had on him. Actually he hadnât smoked for a long time, but at this moment, he just wanted to have one and relieve some of his stress. He placed the cigarette in his mouth and took out the lighter to light it, his hands were slightly trembling, he tried a few times before he managed to light it and took a deep breath. As the white smoke came out of his mouth, the fear and nervousness in the bottom of his heart gradually disappeared. When they were on the way here, he was completely terrified. Fortunately, Su Yaya was fine.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mother Su, who was in the ward, scolded Su Yaya, âYouâre pregnant now, how can you be so unmindful. You knew that you couldnât have hawthorns, but you still ate them anyway. What if something happened to the baby, by then, itâll be too late to feel regretful.â
Su Yaya truthfully admitted to her mistake, âMom, I know, I wonât dare to do so anymore. Iâll be good and I wonât be so greedy over food in the future.â
Mother Su lectured Su Yaya even more, as she heard that she was slightly malnourished, she then said that sheâll cook her some chicken soup when they get home.
Su Yaya didnât dare to refuse, every day from now on, she would just drink any soup that Mother Su made for her.
âI gained two pounds in half a month.â When Su Yaya got off the electronic scale, she couldnât help but mutter, âMy mother is raising me as if sheâs raising a pig. Iâll become a big fatty when itâs time for me to give birth.â
Shen Xiuqi calmly said from the side: âMaybe the weight goes to the baby and not you, the baby also needs to grow.â
Su Yaya glared at him, she looked away and refused to talk to him.
Shen Xiuqi sighed, all he could do was coax her again, until she was smiling happily, then the matter was only over.
In order to take good care of Su Yaya, Shen Xiuqi stayed in the farmhouse. Even if there were business matters to handle, he worked remotely. He spent most of the day with Su Yaya and worked overtime at night. Father Su and Mother Su had seen this a few times, and felt that he was having a rather tough time. Although they didnât mention anything in front of him, they still praised him in front of Su Yaya.
Mother Su said: âYaya, donât be so fussy. Shen Xiuqi is doing quite well. If you really want to be with him, then trust him.â
Su Yaya knew of Shen Xiuqiâs hard work, she nodded and said: âMom, I know what I have to do, so donât worry.â
One day, something came up in Shen Xiuqiâs company. This time, he couldnât solve it remotely. He had to head back to the capital, but this time, he had to be gone for quite some time. He was worried about Su Yaya and wanted Su Yaya to accompany him back, but Su Yaya was very reluctant to head back to the capital with him.
âCan you tell me the reason why you donât want to go back to the capital with me? Iâll not be as worried, with you by my side.â Shen Xiuqi looked at her intently with a solemn face.
Su Yayaâs gaze flickered, she didnât dare to look at him, âGoing back to the capital isnât the problem, itâs just that I donât want to see some of the people in that place.â
Shen Xiu understood what she meant in seconds, and said, âYou donât want to see An Yutong?â
Su Yaya nodded, Shen Xiuqi sighed immediately, and said almost pleadingly: âYaya, I really have no connections with An Yutong anymore. Sheâs part of my past. We have to look at the longer term, and live on with our lives.â
Su Yaya thought of the situation that happened in her dream, and pursed her lips: âWhat if I said, I meant if, just to make an analogy, if An Yutong and An Yuting arenât as innocent as they seem to be, their love towards you might shift to anger, and theyâll hurt me, do you believe me if I say so?â
