The Male Lead's Substitute Wife

Chapter 97: Something’s Wrong (2)

It was a good thing that Xu Chaoran’s fans were valiant. They attacked and retorted all sorts of anti-fans’ comments. They successfully beat up the anti-fans, not giving them a chance to hurt Xu Chaoran at all. Under this topic of #Senior brother Xu Chaoran and junior sister Su Yaya, one could only see comments that were beneficial to Xu Chaoran and Su Yaya.

The moment Su Yaya and the others got off the plane, Su Yaya turned her phone on to see Zhou Peiyun calling her.

Her first sentence was, “Su Yaya, do you know you got on hot search again?”

Her second sentence was, “What’s the matter between you and Xu Chaoran? When did you guys become senior brothers and junior sisters?”

Su Yaya responded, “I don’t know anything about the hot search. I just got off the plane and turned my phone on, when you called me. I can’t really explain what happened between me and Xu Chaoran, but he was the one who suggested following each other on Weibo. He was the one who called me junior sister first as well. He was standing by my side and watching me before. He wanted me to forward the Weibo and I had no choice but to do so.”

Zhou Peiyun said, “That simple?”

Su Yaya retorted, “Do you think I would lie?”

Zhou Peiyun paused and said, “Overall, this isn’t bad. You and Xu Chaoran both made it on hot search and his fans are very protective of him. But they don’t dislike you either. If it was someone else who used him for fame, who knows how much they would’ve been scolded. You guys are both Starlit Entertainment’s actors and he is willing to take care of you. Therefore, you need to maintain a good relationship with him. Since he is willing to treat you as his junior sister, you are not losing anything by calling him senior brother.”

Su Yaya agreed and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now.”

“Ok.” Zhou Peiyun hung up.

Su Yaya placed her phone in her bag when it rang again. She thought that Zhou Peiyun had something to say and that she had forgotten. She mumbled something and took her phone out again.

She looked at the screen to see Chen Xiuqi’s name jumping. It was actually Chen Xiuqi calling. Su Yaya’s heart thumped rapidly. Zhou Peiyun just called her to say that she and Xu Chaoran made it on hot search. Right after, Chen Xiuqi called her too. Could he be asking about the hot search too?

Su Yaya quickly pondered over this. If Chen Xiuqi asked about her and Xu Chaoran, how should she respond? After preparing a draft, she then picked up the phone. She said sweetly, “Xiuqi, I just got off the plane when you called. I’m so happy!”

Xiuqi?

Chen Xiuqi was slightly stunned. Whenever Su Yaya tried to act cute with him, she liked to call him hubby. If there were strangers, she would pay attention to her words and properly call him President Chen. Regarding Xiuqi as an address, she never called him that before. It was the first time.

Maybe it was because this was the first time, Chen Xiuqi felt a strange feeling rising in his heart. This address made them sound intimate. It made him feel like she had lingering feelings for him and couldn’t bear to part with him.

“You got off the plane?” Chen Xiuqi asked.

“Mhm.” Su Yaya said. “I’m walking out of the airport now. I have to take a car later on.”

Chen Xiuqi asked, “Are you with people from the set?”

“Yes.” Su Yaya nodded then realized that Chen Xiuqi couldn’t see her at all. She was clearly used to being well-behaved.

“Stay away from Xu Chaoran.” Chen Xiuqi immediately said.

He clearly called to warn her after seeing her and Xu Chaoran on hot search. Su Yaya actually wanted to ask why since nothing was going on between her and Xu Chaoran. They didn’t do anything overboard either. But when she thought about it, she remembered that Chen Xiuqi was the book’s dominant male lead, her sugar daddy. If he had her walk to the east, she couldn’t go west. Otherwise, she might offend Chen Xiuqi and land herself with tragic consequences. It wasn’t something she could endure. Being a cannon fodder, it was better to treasure her life and make her relationship with Chen Xiuqi better.

“I know.” Su Yaya obediently agreed.

Su Yaya felt like she agreed reluctantly. She recalled how miserable she would look at him, her eyes full of water and about to cry. She was fragile like a little kitten. His hardened heart couldn’t help but soften. He said gently, “Yaya, stay away from Xu Chaoran. You don’t understand some things. I’m scared that you might suffer, do you understand?”

Su Yaya said oh and thought about Chen Xiuqi’s words. She understood his words on the surface but there seemed to be a hidden meaning beneath it. She didn’t understand that part but she decided to follow Chen Xiuqi’s instructions. She smiled and said, “I know. Don’t worry. I will always listen to you.”

Receiving a certain response, Chen Xiuqi was slightly comforted. He said to Su Yaya, “Film your scenes and I’ll come and visit you in a few days.”

“Ok!” Su Yaya answered quickly, her voice full of sweet happiness. She just entered the set and didn’t even start filming yet, when Chen Xiuqi said he would make time to come and visit her. Just thinking about it made her happy. They made a promise just like that.

However, no one knew that before Chen Xiuqi could even make time to visit her, Su Yaya was in trouble within the set.
