THE MALE LEAD'S SUBSTITUTE WIFE

C92&93

Lady Chen (1)

Whoa...

This question was beyond her capabilities to answer.

Su Yaya had never thought of asking him this question. He was the male lead in the book while she was a cannon fodder. It wasn’t up to her to ask about his whereabouts. She knew that very well and understood their relationship as well. She would definitely not overstep her boundaries.

But since Chen Xiuqi had already asked this, if she didn’t comply, it wouldn’t look good on her. Chen Xiuqi might be upset because of this. It’s better to follow along with what he wants so that he willbe pleased.

Therefore, Su Yaya took her own advice and asked, “Hubby, what have you been busy with? You didn’t even respond to my messages.”

Unsure whether it was because she had great acting skills or that Chen Xiuqi’s attention wasn’t on this conversation at all, but he couldn’t tell what he had asked before so she didn’t have to answer his question.

He hugged her tightly and said in a bit of an upset tone, “I went to see my mother over these past few days.”

His mother? Lady Chen?!

Su Yaya was shocked. When she was reading the novel, it didn’t talk about the Lady Chen. She thought it said that Chen Xiuqi’s parents had divorced while he was in his teens. Chen Xiuqi and Lady Chen didn’t have a good relationship and haven’t seen each other for many years. The novel didn’t talk much about Lady Chen.

However, she transmigrated to the beginning of the novel. There was a possibility that the situation right now was different from the original novel. Chen Xiuqi went to visit his sick mother which meant that Chen Xiuqi and Lady Chen’s relationship wasn’t as poor and bad as described by the novel. At the very least, Chen Xiuqi cared about his mother. After all, it was clear he was worried about picking up the call that morning. His expressions couldn’t hide his worry.

“Is your mother ok?” After Chen Xiuqi picked up the call that day, his face seemed unwell. Plus, he left in a hurry afterwards. Su Yaya guessed that something must’ve happened to Lady Chen, which was why she was asking right now.

Chen Xiuqi looked at her and revealed a look of displease. Su Yaya saw his gaze and her heart pounded. She immediately reacted and changed the way she addressed the question, “I meant how is our mother now?”

This man loves to argue over small things. It was just a sentence but he would glare at her as if she had done something incredibly bad.

Was he trying to say that his mother wasn’t his mother anymore because of what she was saying?

Plus, they were only married by contract. Everyone knew this.

Could she change the truth just by changing the way she addressed Lady Chen?

Psh  — Immature!

Su Yaya wanted to roll her eyes but taking into account of Chen Xiuqi’s feelings, she endured this.

Thankfully she did and Chen Xiuqi hadn’t seen her either. Otherwise, who knew how angry he could be because Chen Xiuqi was very worried for his mother right now.

Although he and his mother had separated for numerous years, blood was thicker than water. It was impossible for him to not be worried.

“She’s sick. She suddenly fainted this morning. At the beginning, we thought it was a chronic sickness and that frightened everyone. Thankfully, we brought her to the hospital in time. After having a specialist look over her condition, they were positive it wasn’t her chronic sickness acting out but a very serious cold.”
