The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Want to Watch You Sleep (2)

When Su Yaya reached her floor, Assistant Chen was waiting for her outside of the elevator. When he saw her, he smiled and said, “Miss Su, President Chen is waiting for you in the office. Please follow me.”

“Sorry to trouble you.” Su Yaya nodded to him and followed him into Chen Xiuqi’s office.

This was not the first time Su Yaya came to Chen Xiuqi’s office, but this was the first time she saw him scolding someone. Ah, that’s not right, this is the second time. The first time she was resting in the lounge when she overheard Chen Xiuqi scolding An Yuting. This time, Chen Xiuqi was scolding the marketing director so much that he didn’t dare to make a single peep because the marketing plans weren’t done well enough.

Su Yaya heard Chen Xiuqi’s scolding voice from outside of the office. She quickly tugged at Assistant Chen and whispered, “I think it’s better if we wait a while before going in. I’ll go sit in the parlor room for now.”

After some thought, Assistant Chen agreed. So, he brought Su Yaya to the parlor room for a seat.

Su Yaya put her lunchbox on the table and took out her phone to pass the time on Weibo. After about ten minutes, Assistant Chen came over and called out to her. “Miss Su, President Chen is asking you to come in.”

“Okay.” Su Yaya stood up and followed Assistant Chen into Chen Xiuqi’s office with her lunchbox.

In the office, Chen Xiuqi had taken off his suit jacket and also pulled off his tie with the top button of his white shirt loose. He was standing akimbo in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the outside.

“Xiuqi,” Su Yaya called out to him. When she saw him turn around, she quickly said, “It’s time for lunch.”

Chen Xiuqi looked at her and his expression eased a little as he walked towards her.

“What delicious food did you make today?” Chen Xiuqi sat on the sofa and watched her open up the lunchbox and place the dishes on the table.

“Roasted chicken with yams, sweet and sour pork ribs, and three-delicacies soup.” Su Yaya arranged the dishes for him and passed Chen Xiuqi his bowl and chopsticks.

“It looks good. Smells really good too,” Chen Xiuqi praised.

“Then eat more.” Su Yaya smiled at him and said, “You can only work hard when you’ve eaten your fill.”

When he saw how sweetly she was smiling, he felt enchanted. No matter how bad his mood was before this, he felt a lot better. She really was his treasure, so Chen Xiuqi thought.

“I’m going to S City for a business trip tomorrow. Is there anything you want? I can bring it back for you.”

After eating, Su Yaya packed up his bowl and chopsticks while Chen Xiuqi rested on the sofa. That was what he asked her right then.

Su Yaya didn’t have a lack for anything right now. She had everything she needed, so there wasn’t anything special she wanted, so she said, “Hm, anything will do. There’s nothing special I want.”

When he heard that, Chen Xiuqi teased her. “Then I won’t buy you anything.”

Su Yaya paused for a moment. she took a glance at him and smirked. “That’s fine too, it’s not like I’m lacking anything anyway!”

“When did you become so cute?” Chen Xiuqi reached out to pull her beside him. He looked down at her fair slender hands and clasped his big hand around it, their fingers interlocking.

“I’ve always been cute!” Su Yaya responded firmly.

Chen Xiuqi chuckled. Then, he went up to her for a kiss.

He didn’t know why, but even though he was just going to peck her, he couldn’t bear to leave after having a taste of her. Chen Xiuqi took the initiative to deepen their kiss, sucking on her lips and tongue. He couldn’t get enough no matter what.

When they separated, Su Yaya was a bit breathless from their kiss. A faint red could also be seen staining her cheeks like a layer of rouge.
