THE MALE LEAD'S SUBSTITUTE WIFE

C140&141

Going Public (1)

Su Yaya didn’t dare to challenge Chen Xiuqi’s authority and begrudgingly replied to his post. Moreover, to meet his requirements, she had to respond with “my boyfriend” so their mutual relationship was clear.

Although she was internally scoffing at his childishness, she didn’t show it on the outside. After all, he was the almighty domineering male lead, while she was just a little cannonfodder.

“Good.” He looked at her Weibo and was evidently satisfied. His lips curved into a proud smile.

His lovely girlfriend, her darling boyfriend. Very good!

Chen Xiuqi was now in an extremely good mood. Even a business profit of a hundred million yuan would pale in comparison to this. It was the kind of happiness that money couldn’t buy.

On the other hand, Su Yaya’s mood was heavy. This development was different from what she had read in the original novel!

Although she had transmigrated way before the plot started, the original plot had stated that the true relationship between the original owner of her body and Chen Xiuqi was never revealed to the public.

Only a handful of key characters knew about their marriage, while most of the public believed that she was being kept by him. Even the thought of them being in a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship was deemed impossible.

After all, one was the high and mighty president of the Chen Group, an absolutely unreachable figure. The other one was merely a beautiful but unknown little starlet. The difference in their statuses was too big.

The average person assumed that the president was just indulging her for fun. In the eyes of the entertainment industry, it wasn’t uncommon for a powerful man to keep a star or two. In private, people would talk and laugh without taking it seriously.

All along, this was also what Su Yaya thought of her relationship with Chen Xiuqi.

But now their relationship was made public!!!

Countless people knew about them!!!

This, this, this… this was different from what she imagined!

What exactly went wrong? Why did Chen Xiuqi do this? Why wasn’t he following the original plot! How could he suddenly give her such a big scare???

In reality, it wasn’t Chen Xiuqi who wasn’t following the plotline. It was her. Ever since she transmigrated into the novel《The President’s Lovable Sweet Little Wife》, the plotline had begun to shift!

Furthermore, Su Yaya didn’t realize just how lazy and greedy the original owner was in the novel. After marrying Chen Xiuqi, she had numerous resources and opportunities at her fingertips.

However, she didn’t want to work hard and never once thought about what she wanted to achieve. She believed that as long as she was Chen Xiuqi’s wife, she would be able to live comfortably for the rest of her life and not have to lift a single finger to do anything herself.

Not to mention, Chen Xiuqi had really doted on her in the beginning. He made sure she was happy and never made any excessive requests. The original Su Yaya enjoyed this treatment to her heart’s content and indulged in it like a frog in lukewarm water.

Slowly but surely, she lost her ability to do everyday things by herself and became a canary in a cage, completely dependent on Chen Xiuqi. Therefore, when An Yutong returned and received a great amount of resources and attention from him, the original Su Yaya panicked.

She knew how dependent she was on Chen Xiuqi and that she was just a substitute. Judging from how similar her features were to An Yutong’s features, she could immediately tell what was going on.

Realizing her position was Mrs. Chen was threatened, the original Su Yaya embarked on the road to destruction. She caused all sorts of trouble in hopes that her actions would push the couple apart.

However, contrary to her wishes, the couple only grew closer with each scheme. Finally, when she reached the end of her rope, the original Su Yaya made her final, lethal mistake: She arranged for An Yutong to be kidnapped.

Chen Xiuqi was enraged and this marked the original Su Yaya’s end.

These were the events written by the author, so naturally, they were what Su Yaya went by. She had completely forgotten that she was different from the story’s Su Yaya. The main difference lay in how she acted around Chen Xiuqi.

The transmigrated Su Yaya took advantage of her appearance and acting skills to curry favor with him, unknowingly worming her way into his heart and wrapping him around her little finger.

Moreover, she had been planning to escape from the start. Unlike the original Su Yaya, who clung onto the idea of remaining as Mrs. Chen and depending on him for the rest of her life, the current Su Yaya was so focused on her goal that she saw Chen Xiuqi as practically a game character.

To pass his stage, she had to complete a task. Frankly, in her eyes, he was nothing more than a stack of cash worth ten million dollars. Therefore, it was impossible for her to develop real feelings for him.

As long as she went along with the plotline and didn’t offend Chen Xiuqi or An Yutong, she would be able to have her happy ending.

But now, the story had changed drastically.

Chen Xiuqi actually announced their relationship to the public!

Su Yaya was confused beyond words.

Although she complied with Chen Xiuqi’s demand and responded to his post in kind, her mind was filled with thoughts about the original story. It felt like a dream. She wanted to go back to sleep and maybe when she woke up again, everything would be back to normal again.

Still stunned, she held onto her phone and didn’t know what to do.

Standing beside her, Chen Xiuqi took in her stupefied expression and stroked her hair.

“Did you turn silly from happiness?” he chuckled.

Ugh…

As Su Yaya raised her head and looked at his smiling eyes, she was crying on the inside. The sudden shift in the plotline scared her.

She was really scared!

Chen Xiuqi suddenly made their relationship public. It left her at a loss and she even felt a little uneasy.

“I think… I want to go back to sleep,” she sighed, running a hand through her hair. Then, she walked around Chen Xiuqi and headed for their bed.

His gaze followed her, confused by her reaction. Could it be that she was still half-asleep?

Just as Su Yaya was getting ready to lie down, Chen Xiuqi made a few long strides and reached the bed. A powerful arm extended and wrapped around her waist, he sat down and seated her on his lap.

“What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?” he asked.

Faced with his concerned gaze, Su Yaya was momentarily stunned. Her mouth twitched. “No, I suddenly felt a little tired and wanted to sleep for a while.”

“Really?” He looked at her suspiciously.

Hiding her inner guilty conscience, she nodded and hurriedly responded, “Really. I just want to sleep for a bit.”

Chen Xiuqi observed her face and didn’t see anything wrong. She woke up early to exercise and also worked hard the night before, so she was probably telling the truth.

“Okay, you should sleep then.” He gently placed her on the bed and kissed her forehead.

The author has something to say…

Chen Xiuqi: I heard that some people are dissatisfied with me calling myself Yaya’s “darling boyfriend”? Hmph, I’m only eight years older than her. Pout.jpg
