The Male Lead's Substitute Wife

Chapter 182: Durian (1)

Chen Xiuqi took out his phone with a dark face to call Su Yaya, but the line was actually busy.

How could it be busy at this time?

Chen Xiuqi frowned, but he could only hang up and wait for a while. After a few minutes, he tried to call again. This time, Su Yaya finally picked up after two beeps.

“Honey...”

“What are you doing? Why didn’t you call me first thing after what happened?” When Chen Xiuqi heard Su Yaya’s voice, he felt a flame quickly bursting inside of his heart and scolded her, “What did I tell you? Didn’t I say to you before you left that you have to tell me first thing if anything happens? Why didn’t you tell me? Would I ever find out if Assistant Chen never told me? How long were you planning to hide this from me for?”

When he heard that she was almost hit by the platform used by the crew in the office, his heart nearly jumped out from fright. He was so worried for her, what if something happened to her? Was she hurt? Was the injury serious? Meanwhile, she didn’t even give him a single call, and it was on a busy line when he called. Was she trying to piss him off on purpose?

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more worried that he was. Chen Xiuqi was anxious and it felt like a cat was clawing at his chest. As soon as the call connected, he couldn’t hold back and blabbed out all that to Su Yaya. He was seriously too pissed.

On the other end, Su Yaya who was getting a scolding from him was thinking about what to say to calm him down without making him angrier.

But before she could figure out what to say, she heard Chen Xiuqi saying, “Say something!”

He really was angry. He was so worried about her and said so much but she didn’t care at all. She didn’t even give him a single response. What was the meaning of that?

Su Yaya could hear the commanding tone in his voice and he even sounded angry. She was so scared that even her heart was shaking. It’s not like she didn’t say anything on purpose, she just hadn’t thought of what to say!

Her heart was thumping madly and she was terrified. She was scared of making Chen Xiuqi even angrier. With a shaking voice, she said, “Honey...”

As soon as she spoke, a choking cry could be heard in her tone. She sounded so wronged that one could feel pity just by hearing her.

“I wasn’t staying quiet on purpose...” Su Yaya said through choked tears. “I just don’t know how to tell you. I just received your call and you started scolding me when I tried to talk. I’m just so stunned, how could I speak? Sob sob sob...”

When he heard her fake crying over the phone, Chen Xiuqi rubbed his temples and said to her, still displeased, “Stop crying!”

Uh...

Even crying doesn’t work anymore?

Su Yaya was stunned. She quickly collected her emotions and changed modes. From crying mode, she turned to pleasing mode. “Don’t be angry, honey. I really didn’t do it on purpose. It’s not like I asked for this...Who asked that thing to fall on me? I was standing right under it and I was so shocked. Thankfully Xu Chengkun saved me and the crew quickly sent us to the hospital. After that, the doctor did the checks on me and all that, it was just thing after thing that it held me up for a while. That’s why I didn’t call you first thing. Don’t be angry! Okay? If you get angry I’ll get even more scared. My heart’s still jumping right now. If you get even angrier I won’t know what to do...”

This woman...

Chen Xiuqi’s mouth twitched and he felt his head hurting even more. He reached out to rub his temples again and asked in a solemn voice, “Then why was the line on busy when I called you just now? You had the time to call someone else but not me to tell me about this?”

Su Yaya rolled her eyes. Is this what made him so angry?
