The Male Lead's Substitute Wife

Ch.207 Domineering Wife (2)

Although he answered in a dominating tone and made others praise him for his answer, it was because of her that this matter even started. No matter how good Chen Xiuqi’s attitude was and pampered her, he would definitely be unhappy.

But she didn’t expect for this to happen. She attempted to call Chen Xiuqi when it happened, but Chen Xiuqi was abroad. He went to handle emergency matters at his subsidiary company. When she called him, he didn’t pick up. So she was thinking about explaining this to him in person when he returned, in case she wasn’t able to on the call.

She clearly remembered Chen Xiuqi telling her through the video chat a few days ago when he was abroad that if work went successfully, he would return tomorrow.

Thinking that he would be back by tomorrow, she had already planned everything. She was going to film 《Gourmet Food and Beautiful Guests》the day after at the fruit station. She already asked for a leave of absence with Director Zhou Tongguang, telling him that she was going to the capital. At the same time, she could go and pick up Chen Xiuqi at the airport and then explain to him what happened on the internet in person. If he became unhappy after hearing about it, she could act cute and coax him.

Yet, it didn’t go as planned. Chen Xiuqi who was supposed to be back tomorrow suddenly came back in advance. It was really unexpected.

She called Chen Xiuqi again and after he still didn’t pick up, Su Yaya couldn’t sit still anymore.

No. She must think of a solution. She couldn’t just sit here and wait. She must do something!

She stood up and clutched the phone in her hand tightly. She was thinking that although Chen Xiuqi didn’t pick up her call, she could go and find him!

The moment she came up with this idea, she couldn’t control herself. She seemed to be possessed and she walked straight to Director Zhou Tongguang.

“Director Zhou.” Su Yaya called Director Zhou Tongguang.

Zhou Tongguang was thinking about how to film the next scene and about the effect he wanted to portray when he heard Su Yaya calling for him.

“What’s the matter?” Zhou Tongguang turned around and looked at her.

Su Yaya pursed her lips and seemingly made up her mind. “Director Zhou, I want to ask for a leave of absence.”

Director Zhou Tongguang smiled and said, “You already told me that you’re returning to the capital tomorrow to film 《Gourmet Food and Beautiful Guests》...”

“This isn’t it.” Su Yaya interrupted him and knitted her eyebrows. She said anxiously, “I want to ask for a leave of absence in advance. I have to go right now.”

Zhou Tongguang was shocked by her expression. He asked in concern, “What happened?”

Su Yaya suddenly felt ill at ease. She said to Zhou Tongguang, “It’s personal. I want to leave in advance. Sorry for troubling Director Zhou.”

It was true that Zhou Tongguang didn’t like Su Yaya in the past. But after they got along these days, he noticed that Su Yaya really had the talent and she took her job seriously. She was also willing to learn. He could teach her the skills she needed. Therefore, his impression of her changed. He liked her a lot and was also very pleased.

At this time, when Zhou Tongguang saw her anxious expression, he was worried that something bad really happened. Therefore, he nodded and agreed. “Ok, go handle your matters. I’ll move your scenes back.”

“Thank you Director Zhou.” Su Yaya gratefully said.

Zhou Tongguang nodded and said, “Don’t be anxious either. If there’s something that I can help with, just tell me.”

Towards Zhou Tongguang’s concern, Su Yaya didn’t expect it. She smiled and thanked Zhou Tongguang before hurrying and leaving the scene with Duan Xiaoyu.

When she left the scene, she coincidentally met Chen Yan who was late and just came in. The two glanced at each other. Although they both didn’t like each other, they needed to act like they do on the surface.

“Sister Yan.” Su Yaya smiled and called her.

Chen Yan stopped and observed her. “Where are you hurrying off to?”

Su Yaya wanted to go quickly, so she replied, “I need to hurry to my next location to film, so I asked for a leave of absence with Director Zhou.”

“Isn’t it the day after for you?” Chen Yan asked confusedly.

Su Yaya didn’t want to talk to her much, so she said, “It’s another one. I’m leaving now.”
