The Male Lead's Substitute Wife

Chapter 241

Ch.273 Shameless (1)


After this round of forest survival, Xu Chaoran found out that Shen Xiuqi had strong stamina. He frequently worked out in the gym. Right now, he was incredibly tired however. Plus, seeing that he hadn’t rested well because of work recently, he felt as if he couldn’t handle anything anymore now that he relaxed. He just wanted to find a place to sleep and rest.


Thankfully, there were guest rooms in the agritourism. Although it couldn’t be compared to the presidential suite in five-star hotels, the facilities were still there. It was no issue for someone to stay over and spend the night.


“Arrange a room for me. I want to rest.” Shen Xiuqi said to Su Yaya, “I’ve been busy working in the subsidiary company in America for the past few days. I haven’t gotten to rest well since I rushed back here. I think I can’t hold on any longer.”


He was clearly acting pitiful. With the addition of his dark and black eye bags, he looked really pitiful.


Su Yaya had long noticed his unwell expression and the dark eye bags under his eyes. It was clear that he hadn’t rested well. But Shen Xiuqi said that he was going to stay here. She thought of his pickiness and responded, hesitating, “The conditions here aren’t that good. It’s not as good as the rooms in five-star hotels. I’m scared that you might not be used to it. Why don’t you go back to the five-star hotels in the city?”


Shen Xiuqi looked at her and said seriously, “I’m staying wherever you are.” He acted as if she couldn’t chase him away and he’d stay here for sure.


Seeing that he was h.e.l.l-bent on living here, Su Yaya gave him a heads up. “The facilities here are ordinary. Don’t be picky.”


“I know. Since I said that I’m going to live here, I didn’t plan on leaving.” Shen Xiuqi just wanted to find some place to sleep. Obviously, it was best if Su Yaya was there. Even if the conditions were really bad, he wouldn’t mind if Su Yaya was here.


“Then follow me.” Su Yaya had no choice but to grab the keys upstairs, taking Shen Xiuqi to Room 208.


At the door, Su Yaya unlocked it and led Shen Xiuqi inside. While walking, she said, “This is a relatively good room compared to the others. Just make do and sleep here for now.”


Shen Xiuqi walked behind her and observed the surroundings. The room here wasn’t even as good as the one Su Yaya lived in when she went to film. It clearly couldn’t be compared to the presidential suite in five-star hotels even more. But there was no one else nearby. This made him feel comforted for some reason. This was pretty good.


“Yaya.” He called her.


Su Yaya paused after hearing his voice.


Shen Xiuqi walked over and hugged her from behind, the tip of his nose rubbing against the top of her head. He sniffed her faint body fragrance and countless emotions overwhelmed him. He wrapped his arms around Su Yaya’s shoulders and then said lovingly and in a low voice, “Yaya, let’s make up.”


Su Yaya struggled after hearing this, wanting to get out of Shen Xiuqi’s arms. However, he hugged her tightly. After realizing her intention, he hugged her even tightly, refusing to let go.


“Let me go!” Su Yaya struggled.


“I refuse, even if I die, I won’t!” Shen Xiuqi acted shameless, determined to not let him go. There was no reason for him to let go of her now that she was in his arms.


Su Yaya was unable to struggle free so she gave up. With an expressionless face and faint voice, she said, “Shen Xiuqi, we’re already divorced.”


She was clearly reminding him of the harsh truth. Shen Xiuqi felt a pang in his heart and the hands hugging Su Yaya also froze. However, he immediately recovered and still hugged her tightly. Instead, he acted as if that never happened. “Who said that? When did we get a divorce?”
