Chapter 333 - We’re a Family (2)
The Male Lead's Substitute Wife
Ch.333 Weâre a Family (2)
Early the next morning, Su Yaya and Shen Xiuqi took Sun Qin to the airport together, and they drove back home after seeing her pass the security check.
On the way back, Shen Xiuqi received a call from his second aunt, Zhang Guifang, âGrandpa asked you, Yaya, and Mama Su to come to the old mansion for dinner tonight, and your dad is back.â
When Shen Xiuqi heard that his father was back, he paused, and felt instantly unhappy. With an annoyed expression, he said in a deep voice, âWhen did he return?â
Zhang Guifang said: âThis morning. It seemed that he had just got home for less than an hour and he was already scolded by your grandfather. Heâs still in your grandfatherâs study room. He said that he was not allowed to come out unless he reflected on his doings. â
Shen Xiuqi immediately replied angrily: âHe deserves it. Let him be locked in. It would be best if he never came back out.â
Zhang Guifang sighed, âDonât say that. Are you still not familiar with your fatherâs temper?â
Shen Xiuqi immediately snorted, âWhen heâs done having fun outside, only then he comes home. Where was he when grandfather was ill before? Did he stay in contact with any of us? I wish he just dies outside and never comes back.â
Shen Xiuqi got even angrier as he continued. Zhang Guifang could tell from his tone, and quickly comforted him, âItâs alright, letâs not talk about it, itâs not good for you to be this angry, remember to come to the old mansion for dinner tonight. This was arranged by your grandfather, you must come.â
Shen Xiuqi took a deep breath, relaxed his tone and said, âI see, weâll be there.â After that, he ended the call.
Su Yaya, who was sitting next to him, asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Shen Xiuqi said: âMy dad is back.â
Su Yaya just remembered that she had never seen Shen Xiuqiâs father. She only knew that he was somewhere having fun and seldom kept in contact with his family. He would return only a few times a year. She could understand why Shen Xiuqi got so angry.
Su Yaya stretched out her hand to touch him and comforted him: âDonât be angry, he is still your father. We as juniors shouldnât interfere with his life.
Shen Xiuqi scolded angrily: âHe is just a bastard!â
Su Yaya: ââ¦â¦â
Seeing Shen Xiuqi scolding someone so angrily, Su Yaya didnât know what to say, and it was his father that he was scolding. She couldnât scold along, she could only pretend not to know.
âWould you like some sweets? Youâll feel better.â Su Yaya changed the subject cleverly, and took out a lollipop from her pocket. After she was pregnant, her cravings became really strange, and in the past two days, she craved sweets.
However, Shen Xiuqi was very strict about it and only let her have three of it in a day, as he was worried of her having high blood sugar during her pregnancy.
Shen Xiuqi looked at her pale and soft little hand holding a red and blue lollipop, he looked up and met her expectant gaze, and suddenly he didnât feel as awful, he then subconsciously reached out to hold the stick and said, âIâll have one.â
He peeled off the outer wrapping paper and put the milky white lollipop into his mouth. A sweet flavour started to spread in his mouth, along with his stomach and heart. It seems that his foul mood was completely overthrown by the sweetness, and he didnât feel as bad anymore.
When Su Yaya saw him eating the candy, she took another one out of her bag, peeled off the candy wrapper, and was about to put it in her mouth.
Shen Xiuqi glanced at her, âThis is your second one for the day. Youâre not allowed to have any more later.
Su Yaya froze before replying: âDidnât you say that I could have three a day?â
Shen Xiuqi shook the lollipop in his hand, âThe third one is here.â
Sun Yaya frowned and slapped him with her hand, âYouâre so shameless. You ate the lollipop, how does that count?â
Shen Xiuqi stretched out his hand to hold hers, as he said, âWe are a family.â
