The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife - Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Don’t Give Gifts, Just Give Money! (3)

Su Yaya wrinkled her nose. So bitter. Her brows were frowning so deeply that they were nearly tangled together.

“Quickly drink it. IF you don’t drink it now, it’ll get cold and get even more bitter,” Chen Xiuqi urged her. “If you drink it up like a good girl, I’ll buy you a present.”

Su Yaya suddenly felt like she was a little girl again. During that time, she was also afraid of drinking bitter medicine and she couldn’t swallow any of it at all. So, to coax her, Daddy Su would always say, “If you drink it, I’ll buy you candy.”

It had to be mentioned that their family income at that time was very low. Every penny was spent where it should, so buying candy had always been difficult for her. So, in order to get the candy, she would always endure the taste in the end and drink her medicine.

Su Yaya looked at Chen Xiuqi with her big eyes. “What present are you going to buy me?”

Chen Xiuqi looked at her. In her heart, he thought that just as expected, there needed to be incentives for motivation. So, he said, “I’ll buy you any present you want.”

“Wow! So generous?” Su Yaya was surprised.

Chen Xiuqi pinched her cheek. “When have I ever been anything less than generous to you?”

That’s true!

Su Yaya nodded. She suddenly thought of something and looked at him. “Can you just give me money then? If you give me money, then I”ll be able to buy anything I want!”

When she heard her words, Chen Xiuqi looked at her observingly. “Are you short of money?”

Su Yaya’s heart panicked. She quickly waved her hands and said, “Well, no. I just thought it’d be more convenient! Hehe!”

Chen Xiuqi chuckled and pincher her cheek. “I didn’t know you liked money so much.”

Su Yaya shot him a look, but she didn’t seem to be angry. She shook her slender legs and said in a cutesy way, “That’s right, I just like it!”

Chen Xiuqi laughed. “So how much do you want for one bowl of medicine? Is one thousand enough for one bowl?”

Su Yaya thought about it for a moment. Based on what auntie told her, she will have to be drinking this medicine for a long time. Maybe about three months. If she drinks three bowls a day, that’s 3,000. In three months, that’ll be 230,000. That’s no small number. So, she happily agreed. “Okay!”

“Alright then!” Chen Xiuqi brought the bowl over to him and said in a pampering tone. “You little money lover. You’re going to drink it now, right?”

Su Yaya looked at the dark liquid in the bowl and a bitter smell entered her nose. It really smelled terrible and unpleasant, but for the sake of money, she’ll have to bear with it!”

“I’ll drink it.” Su Yaya was determined. She took the bowl from Chen Xiuqi and pinched her nose. Then, holding the bowl with one hand, she lowered her head and drank it all in large gulps.

When Chen Xiuqi saw her gulping down the medicine, a satisfied crawled up the corners of his lips.

It was only after she finished the bowl did Su Yaya take a big sigh of relief. She put the bowl back into Chen Xiuqi’s hand and hopped off the counter like a rabbit. Yelling out how bitter it was, she quickly ran out of the kitchen into the living room to find something sweet to eat.

Deep laughter rang out from Chen Xiuqi behind her.

Su Yaya remembered that she received a box of milk candies from Wang Wenhao last time that was placed in the living room. It wasn’t until she put the candy in her mouth and let the sweetness melt inside did she finally feel better.

At this moment, a notification bell for a message came from her phone. Su Yaya unlocked her screen and looked at her WeChat. It was Chen Xiuqi who had just transferred 100,000 yuan to her! The transfer note read: Drink your medicine!

The author has something to say: Chen Xiuqi: I’ll transfer 100,000 yuan to you, so drink your medicine!

Su Yaya: Hehehe, I even got a bonus!
