The Male Lead's Substitute Wife

Firstly, he had to attend dinner parties and it was inevitable for him to drink on these occasions. Even if he didn’t drink, there would be people coming up and toasting him. Either way, people would be flattering one another regarding their businesses, so he wouldn’t be able to eat quietly.

Secondly, the dishes in the high quality hotels weren’t to his taste. Although famous chefs were the ones in charge of his dishes and it tasted ok, it felt like it was missing something. Until he came back home and tasted Su Yaya’s cooking, he suddenly realized what was missing — the feeling of home.

Su Yaya was cleaning up the utensils and bowls on the table as Chen Xiuqi stared at her milky white hands. Unknowingly, he reached over to grab her hands, making Su Yaya look over in confusion. He curled the corner of his lips up and said, “Yaya, I’m so grateful for you.”

It frightened her when he suddenly said this!

Su Yaya’s heart thumped rapidly and she carefully observed him. Seeing his concentrated gaze on her and his smile, she slightly felt relaxed when it seemed like he was truthfully complimenting her. She smiled and said, “Xiuqi, I’m grateful for you too.”

Chen Xiuqi hummed in agreement, standing up to grab the plates and utensils from Su Yaya. “Let me do it.”

Since he offered to help, Su Yaya allowed him to clean up. She had been busy the entire day and wanted to rest right now. Therefore, she went back to her room to grab her clothes, preparing to take a shower and relax.

She opened the drawers and saw the countless clothes. The drawer was full of this season’s clothes, only a few were bought by her. The majority were bought by Chen Xiuqi a long time ago and there were people bringing over the newest seasonal clothes from customized famous brands.

Su Yaya found her pajamas and untied her bun, her pitch-black hair scattered on her shoulders like a waterfall.

Chen Xiuqi walked to the door to see this scene. She had thick, pitch-black, and bright hair. It sparkled like black pearls, behind her shoulders and contrasting her slender waist. She was unbelievably beautiful, like a spirit descending to the mortal world.

“You’re gorgeous.” Chen Xiuqi walked over in large strides, hugging her from behind. He held her slender waist and lowered his head to kiss the side of her neck.

The warm breath sprinkled on her neck, making her itch. That was her sensitive point and she couldn’t help but tremble. She coquettishly said, “Stop messing with me. I’m going to shower now.”

Chen Xiuqi recalled the night before yesterday when Su Yaya finished showering and wore nude silk pajamas. She was on a video call with him, purposefully wearing the outfit and flirting with him. She was naughty and cute, charming and sexy. He wanted to so badly get on top of her and make rough love to her!

If it weren’t that they were hundreds of miles away from each other and on video call, he really wanted to immediately press her on bed and rip apart her pajamas. He’d let her know the consequences of purposefully teasing him.

But it wasn’t too late right now. Chen Xiuqi’s eyes turned darker and he breathed heavily, saying in a hoarse voice, “Let’s shower together.”

“No...”

Su Yaya wanted to dodge him, but it was too late. How could Chen Xiuqi give her the chance to escape? He was tall and had long legs, carrying her into the shower as if he was grabbing a rabbit.

The water droplets dripped down and wetted the two people. Su Yaya was still wearing a white dress and the wet dress clung onto her body now, outlining her beautiful curves.

Chen Xiuqi’s eyes turned even darker, as if a wolf ready to pounce on his prey. His eyes were green from the sight. One needed to know that he remained abstinent during his business trip and really wanted to taste her right now. Plus, when Su Yaya was standing completely wet in front of him, he could see everything. Why should he continue to endure? He wanted to eat her up.
