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.”
Just by recalling this, Chen Xiuqi frightened himself. If his mother didn’t just have a serious cold but the chronic sickness or even a more serious illness, he really couldn’t forgive himself if he arrived there a moment too late and couldn’t see his mother. He couldn’t forgive himself for the rest of his life.
“Actually when she divorced my father, I hated her. At that time, I had just finished taking my college entrance exam and got the highest score for the sciences. I thought that since I had such great scores, she would be very happy for me. What a pity that she wasn’t. She just said that I was outstanding, then moved out of the Chen Family household.”
“Back then, I knew she and my father didn’t have a great relationship, but I didn’t want to face this fact. I lied to myself and hoped that their relationship would improve like in the past and we would all be together. But looking back, I realized that it was just a one-sided wish.”
“They quickly finished handling the divorce procedure and my mom left without saying anything. She hasn’t visited me once all these years and I hated her a lot for that time. I always thought that she was coldhearted and ruthless, abandoning me. Was I not her son?”
“Up until recently, we never saw each other. She has grown older but was still as beautiful as before. She was also very concerned for me. I finally realized that the hatred and resentment I held for her in the past meant nothing now. I just want her to live a good life.”
Su Yaya silently listened to him and then patted his hand. She comforted him saying, “Don’t worry. Thankfully there aren’t any major problems. She just needs to take her medicine, be put on IV and she’ll be fine in a few days. She won’t feel good if you keep on worrying for her. Your mother should be fine now, right?”
Lady Chen (2)
Chen Xiuqi controlled his emotions and nodded. “The doctor said she was fine, which is why I came back.” Also because there were urgent matters that she needed to handle. Otherwise, she would’ve stayed there an extra two days.
Su Yaya said, “When are you planning to take me to see her? I haven’t seen her!”
Chen Xiuqi’s parents divorced a decade or so ago. The two haven’t contacted each other for many years. In order to inherit his grandfather’s millions worth of inheritance, Chen Xiuqi found Su Yaya’s parents and decided to marry the original host through contract.
Chen Xiuqi only brought her back to see his grandfather, Second Uncle, and Second Aunt. His father was still enjoying his time abroad at that time, having the time of his life with women. Therefore, Su Yaya hadn’t seen his parents before.
Chen Xiuqi paused then said, “Ok. I’ll find a chance and I’ll bring you to see her.”
Su Yaya hummed and kissed him on the face. She smiled and said, “Hubby, you’re so good to me.”
Seeing her like this, she was like a buffoon. She was always smiling and free from worries. He felt better whenever he was with her.
Chen Xiuqi kissed her and his adam’s apple bobbed. He said hoarsely, “I’m hungry.”
Su Yaya’s eyes looked around and asked, “I’ll cook for you. What do you want to eat?”
Chen Xiuqi kissed her again and there was a dangerous glint in his deep eyes, like a hungry wolf. “I just want to eat you.”
“Ah! —”
Chen Xiuqi carried her princess style and Su Yaya wasn’t prepared at all. She screamed in shock, scared that she might fall out of his arms off. She hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck, making Chen Xiuqi chuckle at her. He carried her into the room.
“Go, go upstairs…”
Su Yaya was pressed against the sofa by Chen Xiuqi, trying to struggle.
However, Chen Xiuqi had pressed her down and his warm breath on her neck. “I can’t wait.”
When it was over, Su Yaya was like a puddle of water. She cuddled in Chen Xiuqi’s arms, feeling like her body was about to fall apart. She was too lazy to even move her fingers. Her eyes were red from the bullying and her throat was hoarse.
“Water…” Su Yaya said this tiredly and softly, without strength.
Chen Xiuqi knew that he had overdone it. He reached over to caress her face. There was a smile in his eyes and he gently said, “Lay here for a while. I’ll go pour water for you.”
Su Yaya was too lazy to even respond. She just opened her eyes and then closed it, indicating she knew.
Look at her fragile body. Sigh!
Chen Xiuqi sighed. He had provoked her so he would have to take care of her. He accepted this task and stood up to pour water for Su Yaya.
Chen Xiuqi came back with a glass of water and personally fed her water. Su Yaya squinted her eyes like a kitten, enjoying Chen Xiuqi’s care.
Heh. She was always the one serving him in the past. Now that the roles had changed, why did she feel so happy?Heh…
…
Chen Xiuqi looked at her smiling and he reached over to pat her head. He didn’t know why but he just wanted to keep pampering her. As long as she was happy.
The two cuddled on the sofa for a while and Su Yaya slowly recovered. She laid on Chen Xiuqi’s body and she couldn’t bear to leave him. “I will be going to the set tomorrow morning. I really don’t want to leave you!”
Chen Xiuqi was very pleased with her words. Seeing the kitten-like woman cuddled up in his arms, his heart softened and was on the verge of melting.
He lowered his head to kiss her face. He said gently, “How about you don’t go?”
Su Yaya’s eyes widened when she heard this. She was like a kitten before but she immediately changed now. She said seriously, “How could I? I already signed the contract and I can’t ruin it. I have integrity for my profession.”
Hm. She would have to pay money if she ruined the contract. She hadn’t earned anything yet and it was far from her goal. She can’t fall into Chen Xiuqi’s trap.
She has integrity for her profession?
Chen Xiuqi raised his eyebrows and laughed. He pinched her face and said, “Whatever you want.”
“Mhm.” Su Yaya hurriedly nodded, sighing in her heart. She was already scared that Chen Xiuqi might not let her go in the spur of the moment. Then she would suffer a huge loss.
Chen Xiuqi thought about it and said, “Do you want me to bring you there tomorrow?”
Su Yaya shook her head and said, “No, it’s ok. My assistant will come and pick me up.”
“You have an assistant?” Chen Xiuqi chuckled.
Su Yaya said proudly, “Of course. Why can’t I have one? After all, I am the second female lead of the drama. The company would have to give me an assistant no matter what, since I’m going to the set to film now.”
That seemed reasonable. Chen Xiuqi nodded. Recalling her silly and naive personality, he was a bit worried. He reminded her, “When you’re at the set, remember to be wise and quick-witted. Don’t let yourself be bullied. Call me if there are any problems.”
“Am I that easily bullied?” Su Yaya pouted and thought. Why was everyone saying this to her? Did she look so naive?
“You look like the type to be easily bullied!” In Chen Xiuqi’s eyes, she was cute and adorable. She fit the type. If he wasn’t protecting her, who knew how bad her life would be.
Su Yaya was speechless.
