The Male Lead's Substitute Wife Chapter 60

An Yuting started to sob. With such a tear-stained face, anyone would pity her had they seen her. "Brother Xiuqi, you weren't like this before. You were really nice to me but you changed after you met Su Yaya…"

"Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll call security to throw you out!" Chen Xiuqi icily showed her to the door. He was truly annoyed with An Yuting. 

Now that Chen Xiuqi had ran out of patience, she would lose face even more if she was escorted out by security. Although An Yuting was impulsive, she wasn't completely stupid. She quickly weighed the pros and cons in her heart; if she was escorted out by security, it would be even more difficult to see Chen Xiuqi in the Chen Company in the future. 

She bit her lips and her eyes were red. She held in her tears and stopped it from falling down her face, acting stubborn yet miserable. "I'll go."

She looked at Chen Xiuqi with her teary eyes again before walking to the door, hoping he would stop her. When she walked to the door, she couldn't help but look back again.

Dark clouds hovered over Chen Xiuqi's head, as though the calm before the storm. It seems like he would explode anytime soon. 

An Yuting looked down and tears fell down her eyes. She left.

Su Yaya, who hid in the lounge, heard the door opening and closing, signaling that An Yuting had gone.

When she confirmed the door had closed, Su Yaya, who had been eavesdropping deeply, sighed. She had been holding in her breath while listening to their conversation, and only dared to slightly pant now. 

She heard a bang then something smashed on the ground. 

Su Yaya's heart violently thumped. Her heart was in her throat and she didn't dare to breathe heavily.

So intimidating. She was a bit scared! 

She patted her chest. Chen Xiuqi was infuriated because of An Yuting's words, saying said that Chen Xiuqi had found a substitute for her sister. Although this was the truth, she should never say that out loud in front of him. It would be absurd if Chen Xiuqi was happy that she exposed his secret. Chen Xiuqi clearly became angry, and thus, started to smash things!

Although he became quiet after smashing things, Su Yaya thought that it would be best if she pretended she knew nothing. She knew better than to anger him even more at this time. 

She looked around in the lounge and decided to continue to sleep in the end, pretending nothing happened. If Chen Xiuqi didn't wake her up, she would keep sleeping. That was how she would try to get away with it.

Hm. She would happily decide this. 

Su Yaya felt like her idea was excellent! 

She gave herself a thumbs up for her intelligence! 

Once she made this decision, Su Yaya decisively laid back in bed. She covered the blankets over her, up to her chin, then closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

Outside, Chen Xiuqi smashed a document on the ground due to anger, but thankfully, he calmed down after doing so. He sat back on his seat with a cold face. An Yuting was too impolite and impudent. She didn't know what she should say and what not to say. Who knows how many people she had offended with such an attitude? Sooner or later, she would be taught a lesson, so he didn't need to be angry at her words. This was unlike him!

Then what caused him to be furious?

He couldn't understand his emotions. He just felt infuriated when he heard An Yuting say that Su Yaya was her sister's substitute in a disdainful tone. 

Su Yaya indeed looked similar to her sister but they had completely different personalities. He knew this since he had been with Su Yaya for a long time.

Plus, Su Yaya was his wife right now; despite her being his wife by contract, she was still his woman. She helped him gain the right to an inheritance worth billions, so with the contract in effect, it was his job to protect her as her husband. No matter what, it wasn't An Yuting's right to scold her, or even insult her!

Right. That's what he meant. This is why he was so angry!

She was his woman. Whether he wanted to pamper or praise her wasn't anyone's right to criticize her, no matter who they were!

Chen Xiuqi turned around and looked at the lounge. The door was tightly shut. He didn't know whether Su Yaya had woke up due to An Yuting's crying or not. 

He stood up and walked to the lounge in a few steps. He held the doorknob and softly opened the door to see Su Yaya buried in the thin blankets. Her jet-black hair scattered on the white pillow; this contrast between black and white made her appear even more beautiful and lovable. 

His heart was touched right then and Chen Xiuqi walked over, digging her out of bed. He held her in his arms and said in her ears. "Yaya, time to wake up. It's too late. If you continue to sleep, you won't be able to tonight."

Su Yaya who pretended to sleep gradually woke up. She fisted her hands and rubbed her eyes. She softly murmured, "I will be able to fall asleep."

"Is that so?" Chen Xiuqi softly laughed in her ears. 

Su Yaya immediately understood him. She almost fell out of his arms. 

Ahhh. He's so bad!

He had his mind set on keeping her up all night!

She didn't want to become a flatbread. Cries.
