CEO's Substitute Bride

Ning Xia didn't expect him to agree so readily. On top of the unexpected, there was also a bit of sadness. See, what do you mean like it? To him, I'm not a chess piece, but a substitute.    

    

"But …"    

    

In her heart, she didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a trace of hope. She hoped that he could say a few words to keep her, and if, if he said those words, she would definitely agree to them.    

    

"During our cooperation, remember that you are my wife. You are not allowed to be that close to other men!"    

    

It was a familiar voice, a familiar voice. However, the words spoken were not what Ning Xia wanted.    

    

Ning Xia nodded and revealed a faint smile. This was the last bit of her dignity.    

    

This was good too. She would not be a substitute for anyone.    

    

She could also unrestrainedly miss someone that was hidden in her heart.    

    

Back then, she had married him because she was forced to. He had also been reluctant to marry her.    

    

If the two of them were to be able to calmly and peacefully separate from each other without a shred of concern for each other, it would be a satisfactory ending.    

    

Wasn't there a saying that said, "Every person will have countless visitors throughout their entire life?"    

    

Pei Yichen was just a passerby to her, right?    

    

Then let's do it like this. We'll retract all of our emotions and erase all of those expectations that we shouldn't have. They'll leave their own circles and live their own lives, returning to their original attitudes. This way, they'll be fair to everyone.    

    

Pei Yichen saw her smile of satisfaction. His heart was like a needle in a needle. Leaving him, was it that worth being happy about?    

    

He did not want to see such a dazzling smile again, so he turned around and opened the door, leaving this place that made him sad.    

    

"President Pei, do you want the cooked noodles to be sent over?"    

    

Shen Heng held a hot bowl of noodles and looked at Pei Yichen embarrassedly. He ordered a bowl of noodles to be cooked the moment he got off the car. Now that he was so angry, was he going to give it to him?    

    

"Throw away everything on her bed and get a new one."    

    

Pei Yichen said in annoyance and went straight back to his room.    

    

"Yes sir!"    

    

Shen Heng was speechless. Boss, you still didn't say, should I just send the noodles in?    

    

Ning Xia took a deep breath. Eating was the biggest thing in this world. There was food, so why would she want to go against her own body?!    

    

"If he doesn't eat, I'll eat!"    

    

Ning Xia ran out to take the noodles, "Change them, go in and change them, change them all into new ones!"    

    

She was preparing to go downstairs to eat the noodles in a bad mood. She also felt disgusted that Pei Shijie had sat on her bed before!    

    

Shen Heng felt his scalp tingling. He already had a big head for a Boss, but with the addition of a Boss' wife, did he really want to poop?    

    

But Ning Xia didn't care if they wanted to die or not. She wanted to live a good life right now, and work hard to live. No matter what happened, she would make herself safe, healthy, and happy!    

    

Pei Yuanfan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw Ning Xia sitting in the living room and munching on her noodles without a care in the world. Was she really a normal woman?    

    

Shouldn't he be crying and begging Pei Yichen to forgive him?    

    

She really was a person who didn't play according to the rules!    

    

However, Pei Yichen wouldn't love her that much after knowing that she was a traitor, right?    

    

How could a man with Pei Family be toyed with by a woman!    

    

Ning Xia finished her noodles and burped in satisfaction. She felt like she wasn't as upset as she thought. There was a saying that was right. Being sad didn't hurt her stomach. It was simply the truth!    

    

However, Pei Yichen, who locked someone in his room, was not as free as her.    

    

His thoughts drifted away bit by bit. From the time he first met Xia, to the later Ningxia, the two of them were extremely similar people. However, because they were too similar, they both rejected him.    

    

He had never been a person with an inferiority complex, but never would he have thought that he would be rejected one day.    

    

Was he so unworthy of their trust?    

    

Or was there really a huge problem with him?    

    

Pei Yichen fell into a kind of confusion, but he was still unable to get out.    

    

After hesitating for a long time, he took out his phone and logged into his mailbox. He wanted to ask if he really hated her during the summer, which was why she suddenly disappeared from his world.    

    

She was already married. She already had her own world. News of him would only be a type of interruption.    

    

And he didn't want to cause any trouble for the summer.    

    

In this kind of dilemma, he fell into a deep sleep. In his dreams, he saw summer, then Ning Xia, both of them moving further and further away from him …    

    

The next day.    

    

Ning Xia woke up early. The wound on her hand had already scabbed over. She wanted to go to the gym to do some exercise.    

    

After the annual meeting, there would be three days of vacation, so she would be free for the next three days.    

    

However, just as he went downstairs, he met Shen Heng, who was carrying a lute, who hurriedly prepared to leave, "Assistant Shen, where are you going?"    

    

Seeing Ning Xia's curious expression, Shen Heng quickly explained, "Oh, this is the lute you used yesterday. It's going to be returned to the store today, I'll send it over now."    

    

When Ning Xia heard this, she instantly perked up. "I'll go with you!"    

    

She had always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity towards this lute. If she could meet its owner, then that would be the best!    

    

Shen Heng raised his head and looked upstairs. He thought that if he went out for a while, he probably wouldn't be devoured by the BOSS. Thus, he took Ning Xia out the door.    

    

"How did you find this lute in such a short time? It looks very good."    

    

The moment Ning Xia asked this question, Shen Heng felt embarrassed. He really didn't know how to explain how he found the lute. He didn't know if he would be despised if he directly said that it was a robbery.    

    

"I found it in the shop."    

    

Shen Heng was vague on what to say. Ning Xia raised her eyebrows and did not continue asking. Instead, she took out the lute from the cloth bag and began to play it. Her slender fingers lightly moved and a melodious melody began to play.    

    

Shen Heng was a bit surprised. He didn't expect Ning Xia to be so versatile.    

    

"Listening to your finger arts, you seem to be quite skilled."    

    

Ning Xia fiddled with it a few times, then smiled and shook her head before putting it away. "When I was in school, I liked to play the lute in my spare time. I performed classical dancing, but then …"    

    

At that time, she was a big fatty and everyone laughed at her. Even in the classical dancing community, most of the time, she was just doing odd jobs. No matter how well she trained, she would only be a replacement for 10,000 years.    

    

"What happened at that time?"    

    

Shen Heng was more interested in the second half of the sentence.    

    

"At that time, I was a 200 jin fatty. Hahaha, so, that was my hobby."
