The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

After some toss and turns, An Yutong finally signed the divorce agreement, Shen Xiuqi and An Yutong completely removed each other from their lives.

Two years later, Shen Xiuqi was still all alone, he spent all his energy on work every day, and he became a workaholic. Under his management, the Shen Group had gotten to a whole new level.

This year, he donated some money to repair the houses in an orphanage, in hopes to help the poor orphans improve the state of their accommodation.

On the day when the construction of the dormitory was completed, Shen Xiuqi was invited to attend the completion ceremony.

The event was very simple. Leaders such as the mayor, secretary, as well as some related personnel attended. After the leaders gave their speech, he was asked to speak on stage. He had nothing to say, and ended his round after a few words.

When he was about to leave the orphanage, he saw a little girl standing at the corner of a wall. With her big and clear eyes, she called out to him timidly, "Uncle!"

When he saw the little girl, he was dazed for a moment, and awkwardly stopped in his steps as he asked her, "What's wrong?"

The little girl pursed her lips and struggled for some time before she found her voice again. She mustered up the courage to say, "Can you adopt me?"

Shen Xiuqi listened to the little girl's request, he looked at her longing gaze, and for some reason, nodded subconsciously.

"Okay," he said.

The adoption procedures were dealt with rather quickly. Shen Xiuqi brought the little girl back to the Shan’s, and from then on raised her as his own daughter, he never got married again, and passed away after.

……

The dream disappeared at this moment, and Shen Xiuqi, who was asleep on the table, woke up.

Shen Xiuqi, who just woke up, was still in a daze. He was still thinking about the scenes in his dream. It felt so real, as if he had really lived through his whole life. All kinds of jumbled up scenes filled his mind, it was a total mess.

After a while, Shen Xiuqi finally sorted out his thoughts and calmed himself down.

He turned around to look at Su Yaya who was lying on the bed. He remembered the scenarios in his dream. In his dream, Su Yaya was hit to death by An Yuting, and An Yuting went to jail for it, but in reality, it was An Yuting who wanted to hit Su Yaya but she wasn’t successful in that, and he sent her to prison. An Yutong ended up with a life that is worse than death.

The scenes in his dream really did happen in reality, but the characters were different, which made him wonder, was everything that happened in his dream true?

Shen Xiuqi was silent for a long time. In the end, he thought to himself, whether or not the dream was real, it didn’t matter, at least what mattered the most to him now was right in front of him. His Yaya didn’t get hurt that way, and his Yaya was still lying in the hospital bed all fine, she just didn’t want to wake up.

He stretched out his trembling hand, gently stroked Su Yaya's face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yaya, you have been asleep for way too long, please wake up soon."

She wasn’t sure if it was because of Shen Xiuqi’s words, or that his sincere emotions moved the heart of the gods, a strong power suddenly pushed her soul, and she uncontrollably fell on the bed. When her soul plunged into her body, they instantly connected.

She immediately came back to her senses, Su Yaya opened her eyes, and locked gaze with Shen Xiuqi, who was also looking at her, her lips moved, and she made a faint voice, "Xiuqi……"

Upon hearing her voice, Shen Xiuqi shuddered, his eyes that were looking at her suddenly shrunk before he saw her slowly open her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, Shen Xiuqi immediately got hold of the situation, Su Yaya was awake.

"Yaya, you’re awake, you’re finally awake." Shen Xiuqi got worked up, reached out and grabbed her hand, then kissed her palm with his lips, tears filled his eyes with much emotion.
