The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

Ch.345 The Past (2)

Shen Xiuqi said, “Let me wash my hands first.”

Su Yaya also said: “Me too.”

The two went into the bathroom one after another.

Shen Xiuqi turned on the faucet, Su Yaya stretched out her hand and Shen Xiuqi glanced at her, Su Yaya smiled at him, her intentions were rather obvious, let me wash my hands first!

“You.” Shen Xiuqi stretched out his hand to touch her hair, his gaze filled with love, he waited for her to wash her hands first, then only did he do so.

While Shen Xiuqi was washing his hands, Su Yaya leaned in and pointed to his hands as she said: “The palm of your hands, the back of your hands, the gap between your fingers…”

“Huh?” Shen Xiuqi turned to look at her.

A smile appeared on the corner of her lips, she leaned in and gave him a kiss. Shen Xiuqi’s gaze darkened, as he reached out to place his arms around her, he took control and kissed her hard.

When the two of them came out, the food was already on the table.

Mother Su said: “Come and try. I made boiled chicken.”

“Wow, that’s my favourite.” Su Yaya hurriedly walked over, and Shen Xiuqi quickly followed along, he reached out to support her, and said: “My naughty little girl, walk slowly, you’re still pregnant!”

Su Yaya smiled embarrassedly, “Okay, it’s just that mother’s boiled chicken is way too delicious, I want to have a bite of it sooner.”

Shen Xiuqi shook his head helplessly, helped her to the table, and then sat down next to her. Seeing how the dishes were placed on the table, he reached out and moved the boiled chicken in front of Su Yaya, as he smiled and said: “Now you can have as much as you want.”

Su Yaya smiled happily, “Hehe, I’m going to dig in now.”

After dinner, Shen Xiuqi went to the study room to deal with some work related matters. Su Yaya and her mother, on the other hand, went for a walk in the garden. After about half an hour, Su Yaya went back to her room to take a nap.

Shen Xiuqi was dealing with work in the study, but what Father Shen had said to him in the ward kept popping into his mind from time to time. Father Shen said that he wanted to see his mother and apologize to her. Previously, it would be best if he stayed away from her, but if he never gets the chance to do so now, he might never ever get to do it. His words were so moving that it actually made Shen Xiuqi feel bad.

Shen Xiuqi didn’t know exactly what had happened between Father Shen and Mother Shen. He only knew that one day he suddenly had a younger brother, which was Xu Chaoran, and then the seemingly affectionate couple got into a huge fight.

Shen Xiuqi accidentally overheard their conversation and learned that Xu Chaoran was the child of Wu Mei, his father’s former secretary. He was framed by his opponent at a business cocktail party. He accidentally got drunk and had sex with Wu Mei. After that, Wu Mei left without saying a word, and hid somewhere where no one could find her. After many years, Wu Mei appeared with Xu Chaoran and broke Father Shen and Mother Shen’s beautiful life.

Mother Shen was very angry about this and asked Father Shen to deal with this matter. Father Shen also agreed to deal with it. On the surface, things went back to how it used to be for the two of them. This made Shen Xiuqi believe that they would be able to go back to those happy days.

But Xu Chaoran’s mother kept harassing Mother Shen and caused a ton of trouble. She made her cry so many times, and gradually, Mother Shen was discouraged, she slowly distanced herself from Father Shen. Their quarrels were never ending, and slowly the two of them became acquainted with each other. They dragged and dragged on for several years. In the end, they filed for a divorce, parted ways, and lived on with their own separate lives.
