The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

"Let her in, it won't look good if someone else sees us like that." Su Yaya was worried that someone would post about it.

After Su Yaya gave down the orders, Shen Xiuqi then said to An Yutong: "Come in, we'll talk about it inside."

An Yutong looked up, tears sliding down her cheeks, through her puffy eyes, she saw Shen Xiuqi, with his brows slightly furrowed. He was as still gentle to her as before, it made her feel sad and a rush of emotions swirled in her.

She thought to herself, he seemed to still care for her. She slowly stood up and walked towards Shen Xiuqi.

She wasn't sure if it was because she was too stressed out from all the netizens' hate comments, or she was just crying way too hard just now. When she suddenly stood up, she felt dizzy and when she walked towards Shen Xiuqi, she blacked out and was about to fall into Shen Xiuqi's arms.

Seeing as An Yutong was about to fall on him, he was worried that Su Yaya would misunderstand the situation. Hence, right before she had a chance to do so, he quickly stretched out his hands and supported her shoulders. His movements were stiff, it was as if he was leaning against a pole, he didn't feel pity towards her, but on the contrary, he wanted to get himself away from her as soon as possible.

Su Yaya, who watched as the scene enveloped, furrowed her brows, Shen Xiuqi's reaction…… it was as if he was trying to avoid some sort of virus.

Before she could even speak, An Yutong cried out at Shen Xiuqi : "Xiuqi, Xiuqi, what should I do? What can I do about all this? The netizens are bashing me everyday, I don't think I can take this anymore……"

Her cries resembled pear blossoms swaying in the rain, she looked so pitiful, just like before, she would always look for Shen Xiuqi for help when she doesn't know how to solve an issue.

Upon hearing her questions, Shen Xiuqi's brows furrowed, and unconsciously looked at Su Yaya, he was worried that she might misunderstand him.

Su Yaya looked at him, raised her brows slightly. It was a clear message- settle it by yourself, you know what to do!

Of course Shen Xiuqi knew what to do, he sighed, turned and said to An Yutong: "Have a seat on the couch first, we'll talk about it later."

He loosened his hands that were supporting An Yutong, he walked towards Su Yaya, and sweetly walked her to the couch.

Seeing as Shen Xiuqi gently walked Su Yaya to the couch, An Yutong felt that it was a rather painful scene to watch. She froze for a minute but still walked over and sat on the couch aside.

"I didn't know the situation would escalate until this extent." An Yutong said in a grief and sad tone: "I wasn't the one who did it, I feel so sad about this, and they are still bashing me for it. I even received a suspicious package along with a threatening note, I'm terrified."

Su Yaya said in a careless tone: "We don't really care whether it was you behind all this. Both of us aren't really affected by the comments online. The fella that sent the parcel wouldn't dare to inflict any harm on you. You should just stay home for a few days and don't ever go out alone, stay vigilant."

An Yutong was shocked: "The netizens also bashed the both of you quite badly, why don't you care? You're not the one who received the parcel, of course you're not scared!"

Shen Xiuqi said calmly: "I don't care about what they say about the matter. As long as Yaya believes in me, everything else doesn't matter. Also, Yaya is right, you should probably stay in for a few days, the news will slowly die down."
