The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

The next morning, it was Anan who personally came to pick up Yao Yingxi.

Yao Yingxi opened the door for Anan, carrying a small suitcase, and said to him, "Let's go."

Anan nodded, took the box from her hand, and followed her downstairs.

After dropping Yao Yingxi off at her apartment, Anan handed her a card: "Miss Yao, this is Mr. Xi's supplementary card. You can withdraw money from it if you need it."

"..." Yao Yingxi held the card like it was a hot potato. She instinctively wanted to return it to Anan, but she forcibly restrained herself: "I understand."

"If Miss Yao has nothing else, I'll take my leave now?"

"it is good."

After Anan left, Yao Yingxi closed the apartment door, looked down at the card in her hand, and felt a mix of emotions.

She carried her suitcase to the bedroom, opened the wardrobe and saw half of the women's clothing inside. She looked down at her suitcase, put it away, and placed it in a corner.

It was still early, and Yao Yingxi stayed in the apartment for a while before eleven o'clock.

Yao Yingyue called her, and Yao Yingxi went out. She simply couldn't stand staying in Xi Yuanchen's apartment.

Yao Yingxi finally felt relieved after leaving the apartment.

She suppressed her panic, hailed a taxi, and headed towards Liang Yu and Yao Yingyue's home.

Yao Yingyue went for a follow-up check-up today, and the doctor said she has fully recovered. After leaving the hospital, she and Liang Yu went to buy groceries and cooked a table full of dishes.

When Yao Yingxi arrived, they had already prepared the meal and were setting out the bowls and chopsticks.

Hearing the knock, Yao Yingyue ran to open the door for Yao Yingxi: "Sister."

Yao Yingyue smiled when she saw Yao Yingxi and handed her the slippers.

Yao Yingxi responded, then glanced inside the room and saw a table full of dishes: "What day is it today? Why are you making so much delicious food?"

The two sisters walked into the house. When Liang Yu heard Yao Yingxi's words, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. Yao Yingyue also stopped and looked at her with her lips pursed.

Yao Yingxi was taken aback by their reactions, her smile slowly fading as she wondered what had happened: "What's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Liang Yu glanced at her, his gaze somewhat complicated. Yao Yingyue glanced at him, her hand tightening at her side, and looked at Yao Yingxi as she spoke: "Sister... I married Brother Liang Yu a couple of days ago."

Yao Yingxi looked at Yao Yingyue, then subconsciously glanced at Liang Yu, and it took her a while to react before she smiled and asked, "When? Why didn't you tell me first?"

"Sister..." Yao Yingyue thought Yao Yingxi disagreed, so she tightened her grip on her hand, accidentally clenching her palm tightly: "You... don't agree to me being with Brother Liang Yu?"

As Yao Yingyue spoke, her eyes reddened.

Liang Yu was also standing to the side, his eyes fixed on her.

Yao Yingxi looked at Yao Yingxi and reached out to wipe away her tears: "Silly girl, how could that be?"

"I just want to say that you're married, you shouldn't be so aggrieved. At least you should tell me that even though it's just the two of us at home, I'm here and I won't let you suffer."

Yao Yingxi turned her head to look at Liang Yu, her expression very serious: "Liang Yu, you married my only sister."

Liang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Yingxi."

"You must treat her well from now on, for the rest of your life."

"must."

"You must never bully her."

"never."

You should always love her more than you love yourself.

"it is good."

"If you break your promise today, you will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."

"I swear, if I, Liang Yu, break the promise I made today, may I be struck by lightning and never forgive myself..."

"Stop talking!" Yao Yingyue cried, threw herself at Liang Yu, and covered his mouth: "I believe you, you won't do it."

Yao Yingyue turned around and looked at Yao Yingxi: "Sister, I believe in him, he will be good to me."

Yao Yingxi looked at the two of them, smiled, and walked to the dining table to sit down: "Okay, let's eat."

Yao Yingxi didn't have much of an appetite during the meal, but she kept forcing herself to eat more, and the smile on her face never disappeared.

After finishing her meal, Yao Yingxi left their house and wandered aimlessly down the street, her mind blank.

It wasn't until it got dark that Yao Yingxi came to her senses, spotted a car, and hurried towards Xi Yuanchen's apartment.

When she arrived at the apartment, she opened the door and saw that the living room lights were on.

Yao Yingxi swallowed hard. This apartment building had a high level of privacy and security, so it was impossible for a thief to have broken in.

So... Xi Yuanchen is back.

Yao Yingxi nervously clutched the hem of her clothes. Before she could even change her shoes, Xi Yuanchen came out of the study.

He saw Yao Yingxi and asked calmly, "Where did you go?"

"Go keep my sister company." Yao Yingxi pursed her lips, noticing he was still wearing a suit. "Did you just get back? Have you eaten? I'll go cook for you."

Xi Yuanchen hummed in agreement and went to the kitchen to get some water.

Yao Yingxi glanced at his back and bent down to change her shoes.

Xi Yuanchen poured himself a glass of water and went back to his study. Only after he left did Yao Yingxi feel a little more relaxed.

It was almost 7:30. Yao Yingxi stir-fried some green peppers and shredded pork, cooked a vegetable soup, and then went to call Xi Yuanchen to come eat.

Xi Yuanchen frowned when he saw the dishes on the table. Yao Yingxi noticed and tightened her grip on her chopsticks, asking nervously, "Mr. Xi, don't you like these dishes? Should I order takeout?"

"No need." Xi Yuanchen sat down, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat.

He ate every dish. Yao Yingxi watched him quietly for a while before she felt relieved.

After eating, Xi Yuanchen went back to his bedroom. Yao Yingxi finished cleaning up the dishes and came out. He was wearing a bathrobe and standing in front of the French windows in the living room, looking outside.

Hearing footsteps, he turned around and his gaze fell on Yao Yingxi.

Yao Yingxi instinctively stopped in her tracks and swallowed hard.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"No...no."

Xi Yuanchen's gaze became somewhat probing, and Yao Yingxi subconsciously shrank back; the answer to her previous question was self-evident.

"Go take a shower," Xi Yuanchen said directly.

Yao Yingxi looked at him and nodded stiffly.

From the day she agreed to Xi Yuanchen's request, Yao Yingxi knew she would face something like this, but... when the moment actually arrived, all the mental preparation she had done for herself was useless.

Yao Yingxi lingered in the bathroom for more than half an hour, and finally, after looking at herself in the mirror for a long time, she got dressed and went out.

Xi Yuanchen had already returned to the bedroom. When he saw Yao Yingxi come out, he didn't say much. He walked directly to the bedside, picked her up, pressed her into the mattress, and tore off her clothes.

"Don't wear it next time." Xi Yuanchen stripped Yao Yingxi naked and lowered his head to bite her lips.
