The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

Ch.364 I Love You (6)

“Baby, you have to be a good kid, if you’re good, mom and dad will like you!” Shen Xiuqi bent over and talked to the baby in Su Yaya’s belly, with a gentle voice and a smile on his face that resembled the spring breeze.

The baby seemed to have understood his words, and didn’t roll around in Su Yaya’s belly as fiercely as before, the baby only moved gently in her tummy, as if agreeing to Shen Xiuqi’s request to be an obedient child that both mom and dad would adore.

Su Yaya felt the baby’s mood change, and instantly pulled on Shen Xiuqi’s hand as she said: “The baby seems to understand your words, and became much more gentle and not as worked up as before.”

Shen Xiuqi laughed along and touched Su Yaya’s round belly, as if he was praising the baby in there: “My baby is really smart, he knows how to be considerate and caring to his mother. You have to be a good child who loves your mother from a young age.”

Hearing such sweet words from Shen Xiuqi, Su Yaya smiled and patted Shen Xiuqi on the shoulder, as she said, “Can you say something else?” His words were way too cheesy, Mother Su was still watching them at the side, how embarrassing.

Shen Xiuqi didn’t care at all. How well he treated Su Yaya, it’s not like Mother Su was unaware about it. Whether he said it out loud or not, it wouldn’t change a thing.

Mother Su smiled, found an excuse by saying that she wanted to “head in and check if dinner was ready” then left, leaving Shen Xiuqi and Su Yaya alone to continue their walk in the garden.

The mild breeze brought along a hint of the fragrance from the flowers, Shen Xiuqi took Su Yaya’s hand, and went back for dinner after two more rounds in the garden.

After dinner, Shen Xiuqi played with Su Yaya for a while more. Later, Su Yaya felt tired and it was almost time for bed. Shen Xiuqi then helped Su Yaya back to the room.

“I’ll get you some hot water to wash your feet, you’ll sleep better if you soak your feet in it for a while.”

Su Yaya was in the final trimester of her pregnancy, and both of her feet were swollen. Shen Xiuqi would wash and massage her feet every night. After he said this, he went to the bathroom to get some water.

Su Yaya was sitting on the big bed outside, and she felt all sweet and warm when she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

Not long after, Shen Xiuqi came out with a basin of warm water, placed it by Su Yaya’s feet, squatted down, took the small stool next to him and sat down.

Su Yaya hurriedly said, “I can do it myself.”

But Shen Xiuqi didn’t give her the chance to do so. He stretched out his hand to hold her foot and said with a smile: “I’ll help you wash your feet.”

Su Yaya couldn’t refuse, Shen Xiuqi got a hold of her feet, helped her take off her shoes and socks, and gently placed her feet in the warm water before asking if the water was too hot.

“It’s not too hot.” Su Yaya replied.

Shen Xiuqi said: “That’s good. I tested the water temperature just now, it was just right.”

Su Yaya said sweetly, “Thank you, my husband.”

A very satisfied smile appeared on Shen Xiuqi’s face.

After washing Su Yaya’s feet, Shen Xiuqi took a towel and dried her feet, then carefully massaged her. He stopped only when Su Yaya felt better.

“It’s getting late, sleep tight.” Shen Xiuqi kissed Su Yaya’s forehead and said.

Su Yaya got all lovey-dovey, “I want my husband to hug me and sleep with me, only then I’ll be able to fall asleep.”

With such a clingy wife, Shen Xiuqi showed a helpless and loving expression on his face, so he let Su Yaya wait for him for a while. He quickly went to the bathroom to wash up, and as quickly as possible went back to bed. He held Su Yaya in his arms and fell asleep with her.
