The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Having not slept all night, Yao Yingxi called her colleague Tang Mi at the clothing store early the next morning to arrange a meeting.

Although Yao Yingxi has never had any close friends, she gets along well with her colleagues at work, and Tang Mi is especially close to her.

The two met at a bubble tea shop. As soon as Tang Mi saw her, she smiled and sat down opposite her: "Boss, long time no see. Is your married life going well? When are you having your wedding banquet? Remember to send me an invitation."

Tang Mi is a straightforward girl, although her love life is quite chaotic and her reputation isn't very good.

Yao Yingxi smiled, but didn't explain that her love life was a mess. After saying "okay," she changed the subject.

After chatting for a while, Yao Yingxi finally revealed her purpose. It was actually quite embarrassing, but she would rather be embarrassed this once than be dumped by Xi Yuanchen.

Tang Mi's mouth dropped open, but she quickly realized what she was doing, coughed, and said, "Boss, did I hear that right? You need something like this?"

Yao Yingxi's face was flushed and pale. She looked at Tang Mi and nodded: "I need to. I went to the hospital a few days ago, and the doctor told me that I... am sick."

"I don't think any man can accept a woman having such a flaw, Tang Mi. It's embarrassing, but I have no choice."

Tang Mi genuinely liked Yao Yingxi quite a bit. After hearing what she said, she felt a little sad, but she didn't have any curiosity or gossip.

"There is such a medicine, but boss, long-term use is not good for your health."

Yao Yingxi saw sympathy and pity in Tang Mi's eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "Mi Mi, thank you for thinking of me, but it's okay. I only need a short time. I'm undergoing treatment."

"Okay, I'll go buy it today. I'll call you when I get it."

Yao Yingxi smiled and sincerely said, "Thank you."

Tang Mi comforted her, saying in a very chivalrous manner, "What are you thanking me for? Who told you to be my boss?"

After chatting for a while, Tang Mi had other things to do and left first.

It's already late autumn, and the sunlight feels warm on my skin.

Holding a cup of milk tea, Yao Yingxi turned her head to look at the bustling traffic outside and smiled self-deprecatingly.

She never imagined that one day she would think about pleasing a man in bed just to keep him. Nor did she ever imagine that her life trajectory of twenty-five years would be completely overturned in two months.

Yao Yingxi stayed at the milk tea shop until noon before leaving.

It seemed she couldn't continue working at the club; the working hours conflicted with her current situation. She was now like a concubine in ancient times, waiting to be favored by the emperor. When she wasn't summoned, she could do whatever she wanted, but whenever Xi Yuanchen wanted to see her, no matter when or where, she had to go to see that man. And at night, she could only obediently wait for his arrival.

As Yao Yingxi thought about it, she eventually laughed at herself.

She glanced at her phone; it was lunchtime.

Not wanting to go back to her apartment to cook for herself, and not being very hungry, Yao Yingxi looked around and remembered that there seemed to be a park nearby, so she decided to take a walk there.

After staying in the park until she felt hungry, Yao Yingxi found a restaurant and ate a plate of fried rice.

Around 4 p.m., Tang Mi finally called her to ask where she was so she could bring her the medicine.

Yao Yingxi gave an address, and Tang Mi quickly came to bring the items to her.

Staring at the medicine bottle in her hand, Yao Yingxi recalled the scene of Xi Yuanchen leaving last night, and hailed a taxi to return to her apartment.

The day before, Yao Yingxi bought a lot of groceries. After returning home, she thought for a while and finally dialed Xi Yuanchen's number.

Anan answered the phone again. Yao Yingxi asked Xi Yuanchen if he was busy, and said that she had cooked a meal and was waiting for him to come to the apartment to eat.

After listening to Yao Yingxi's words, Anan agreed to pass them on to Xi Yuanchen and then hung up the phone.

Yao Yingxi hung up the phone, opened the refrigerator, found the ingredients she needed, and started cooking.

Yao Yingxi remembered that last time Xi Yuanchen saw the stir-fried green peppers with meat and the vegetable soup, he frowned. Thinking that he probably didn't like green peppers, she threw all the green peppers into the trash can.

A table full of food was prepared, and it was already six o'clock.

Yao Yingxi glanced at the time, took her phone, and went to the living room to wait.

She didn't actually know if Xi Yuanchen would come. Holding her phone, she sat on the sofa, feeling somewhat lost.

Time ticked by, and Yao Yingxi checked the time several times, then looked towards the door.

The phone screen in her palm suddenly lit up. Yao Yingxi thought it was a call from Xi Yuanchen, but the screen displayed the name "Liang Yu".

Yao Yingxi paused for a moment, and was about to answer the call when it was already disconnected.

At the same time, the sound of a door opening rang out.

Yao Yingxi put down her phone and quickly stood up. Xi Yuanchen pushed the door open and came in.

"Mr. Xi, you're back."

Xi Yuanchen glanced at her, hummed in agreement, and then bent down to change his shoes.

Yao Yingxi curled her hands up, walked over to Xi Yuanchen, bent down and put the leather shoes he had taken off into the cabinet.

Xi Yuanchen looked at her, his eyes deepening.

Yao Yingxi put down her shoes and straightened up, meeting Xi Yuanchen's deep eyes. She was speechless for a moment before speaking, "The food is ready, let's eat first?"

"Ah."

The dinner table remained quiet as always. Halfway through the meal, Yao Yingxi stood up and asked, "I'll go get some water, Mr. Xi, would you like some?"

"Need not."

Yao Yingxi nodded, left her seat, walked to the water purifier, took out two white pills from her bag, put them in her mouth, and swallowed them with water.

After dinner, Yao Yingxi cleaned up the dishes in the dining room, while Xi Yuanchen went to the study.

She slowly began to feel something different in her body, and her body temperature gradually rose. Yao Yingxi dried the last bowl and put it in the cupboard.

Yao Yingxi came out of the restaurant and went straight to the study.

Xi Yuanchen was on the phone when he heard the knocking. He frowned, hung up the phone, and went to open the door.

Yao Yingxi stood at the door, her almond-shaped eyes glistening with tears. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with a dreamy light.

Xi Yuanchen frowned, about to speak, when Yao Yingxi suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips.

“…” Xi Yuanchen.

Yao Yingxi's mouth was dry, and when her lips touched Xi Yuanchen's thin lips, it was as if she had tasted cool spring water.

I can't help wanting more.

Yao Yingxi opened her mouth to bite, trying to force her way into Xi Yuanchen's mouth without any strategy.

She was just under the influence of the drug, acting on her body's instincts to take it, but Xi Yuanchen felt all the blood rushing to his lower body.

His eyes darkened, and Xi Yuanchen took the initiative, holding Yao Yingxi's head with one hand and pulling her close to his waist with the other, launching a full-scale invasion.

After a rough kiss, Xi Yuanchen released Yao Yingxi.

The drug had fully taken effect by now. After Xi Yuanchen left, Yao Yingxi tiptoed to kiss him again.

Xi Yuanchen was taller than her, so she couldn't reach his lips and instead kissed his neck.

"Yao Yingxi!" Xi Yuanchen's voice turned hoarse as he raised his hand and pulled her away.

Yao Yingxi felt feverish all over, as if countless ants were gnawing at her insides. She spoke in a soft, seductive voice, "I feel terrible!"
