Description
Yu Yaoyao was a snake spirit who died by lightning and as a result, transmigrated to a novel she had read in her past life. This third-rate actress had the same name as her, but then she remembered she was only a pitiful cannon fodder in the novel she had read.
This obscure actress's life was riddled with scandals, and as a result, her diamond husband left her. She then hit the rock bottom of her career and ultimately became paralyzed by an accident. Not to mention, she had neglected her child, leading him to an early death.
Graced with a new life, Yu Yaoyao is determined to steer her path away from the plot's death flags. She'll be the best wife, the most loving mother and she'll rise to the top of the entertainment industry!
Chapter 1 – She Wants To Counterattack (1)
Glorious thunder and lightning instantly dashed down as rain poured from the sky. Yu Yaoyao was awakened from her stupor by the violent wind and rain.
She opened her eyes somewhat confusedly, and in an instant was blinded with throbbing pain in her head.
Huh? Has my nest become softer?
Compared to the field with stones, twigs, and leaves piled up a few days ago, this quilt was fragrant and warm. She could not help but rub her chin on the soft material a few times, a satisfied smile appeared on her dainty lips.
She rubbed her sore eyes and tried to raise her head.
But as soon as her eyes opened midway, she saw a huge and gorgeous crystal chandelier against a snow-white backdrop. Surrounding her were European-styled, white furniture with gilded edges.
Gulp! Yu Yaoyao swallowed, looking up and around slowly. This was not her snake nest in the zoo!
A few years ago, she had secretly hidden in the snake house of a popular zoo. She spent her days playing on her mobile phone and was addicted to novels and TV dramas.
However, when she had gleaned the basic knowledge of the world, she was ready to slip out of the zoo to be the most beautiful star in the world. Just when she was ready to beautifully audition, she was suddenly struck by a thunderbolt by the damn Demon Law Enforcement and had died immediately!
I'm actually dead… Her head ached whenever she thought, and a memory that did not belong to her constantly invaded her mind.
She's reborn now—no, she transmigrated?
She'd transmigrated into a female with the same name as hers- Yu Yaoyao. This woman grew up being in love with the Film Emperor Chen Jiao, but in order to save her family from crisis, she'd painfully married the boss of an entertainment company.
Just now, she'd called her estranged husband to ask for money, which ultimately resulted in a heated argument. As soon as she had raised her head in frustration, she'd hit the bed and passed out.
While she was still sorting out the unexpected memories, the mobile phone on the bed suddenly rang.
The name 'Yu Xinjie' kept flashing.
A familiar name, Yu Yaoyao thought as she peeked over and accepted the call.
From the other side came an urgent voice. "Sister, have you taken the sleeping pills? I had to place my trust in a few friends to buy enough in batches!"
"Sleeping pills?" Yu Yaoyao asked doubtfully.
She shifted her eyes to the bedside table, and sure enough, there were several bottles of medicine conspicuously scattered around.
"Sister, are you repenting?" Yu Xinjie asked and continued, "If you are to commit suicide, ask brother-in-law another five million this month! Don't you care about mom and dad? Are you going to leave me alone? I'm about to pay for my tuition for the new year, and dad's company is to invest in new projects."
Yu Yaoyao was stunned. "Tuition?"
What a sister! So cold-hearted!
Wasn't it obvious that she's about to commit suicide… and to die just for her tuition?
"Sister, are you afraid? When brother-in-law comes back, he will definitely take you to the hospital. You won't be able to commit suicide again! The moment you ask brother-in-law for five million dollars, I'll send your love letter to Elder Brother Chen Jiao!"
On her last day before she took on a human form, she had read on her mobile phone the web novel: Overbearing President Pampers Wife: Hello, Sweets! In that, the miserable female lead was fooled by her sister, took sleeping pills, and lived a life where she was mostly only half alive.
This miserable girl had the same name as her, and that vicious sister was none other than Yu Xinjie.
Yu Xinjie was an illegitimate daughter. After the death of Yu Yaoyao's mother, she followed her mother who became the new mistress of the family and settled in the Yu residence. She pretended to cultivate ten years of sisterhood with Yu Yaoyao but actually wanted to take away everything from her.
First, she manipulated Yu Yaoyao to pursue her first love, the film emperor, and after her marriage, she coaxed her into committing suicide and coerced her to ask the male lead for money.
Chapter 2 – She Wants to Counterattack (2)
In the end, she would sell-out her personal love letters to the film emperor for her own amusement.
In a fit of anger, the male lead, who was her husband, had kicked Yu Yaoyao out of the house, after which he fell in love with the book's heroine, spoiling her to the extreme.
"Sister, don't you want to send that love letter? Haven't you ever considered divorce in this lifetime? Think about it, one day you'll be able to restore your freedom and pursue your happiness with Brother Chen Jiao again."
For the pursuit of death, is that reason good enough? Yu Yaoyao sneered.
In the book, two years after she almost committed suicide, Yu Yaoyao was finally able to understand that Yu Xinjie's help was all fake. And in reality, only wanted to destroy her, rob her first love, pair her husband and the female lead, and finally win the friendship of the female lead.
When she wanted to retaliate, she had been hit by a car and turned into a vegetable.
Later, Yu Xinjie took it as an outlet to vent her frustrations. When she was in a bad mood, she would humiliate her by slapping her face and splashing it with water in the hospital.
"Don't you want me to send your love letters?"
Yu Yaoyao listened and almost guffawed. I'm afraid this can't be called for amusement anymore. Yu Xinjie's morals are the worst! A snake is even better!
There was a sharp intake of breath at the other end of the phone. "Sister, haven't you taken some of the pills yet? Are you still conscious? Don't you remember? I helped you visit Elder Brother Chen's class before, and even gave you those hand-made lunches and chocolate you had given to him!"
Yu Yaoyao sighed. There was no doubt about it now; she'd truly transmigrated.
"I'll take the medicine now."
With a sneer and a wave of her hand, she swept all the bottles into the trash can.
She would not be as foolish as the original owner to commit suicide at this clear deception!
On the other end of the phone, when Yu Xinjie heard the sound of the pills, she was relieved. "Sister, when you wake up, remember to cry first and ask for money! If Brother-in-law disagrees, you just say you'll divorce him! Fight and don't give up for the sake of Elder Brother Chen Jiao."
Tsk, tsk. What a vicious person!
She didn't stop her from having children just so she could be scorned by the public for not being a loving mother! The main highlight was that the original owner and she would lose her financial ties with the male lead if she didn't have a child. And even later, she neglected the child, who died in a car accident due to the negligence of the nanny after she left.
"I see." Yu Yaoyao didn't bother to talk anymore and dropped the call abruptly.
She opened the camera app on her cell phone to take a picture of her face in order to look at it. In the image, she saw a beautiful woman with an innocent, delicate face framed with soft eyebrows and kind eyes. Although her face was a little pale at this time, whenever she squinted slightly, her peach blossom eyes held a charming, pure light and glistened…
So this is her human form; this is how she actually looks.
"Karma's a b*tch, you can rest assured with that!"
She was kept in the zoo for 170 years by the Demon World Law Enforcement. She experienced a long period of boredom and living on the cold ground. She was like a guinea pig to human onlookers with their curious pointing fingers. She was only able to eat five cents worth of food a day and had to go to the toilet without the privacy of a female snake.
Moreover, they also had their heads pressed, their fangs pulled out to take photos, and perform for human beings.
In the end, she was struck to death by lightning!
She had dreamed of being reborn as a human adult. Now she had finally changed her body–she had achieved it!
This time, she wanted to live a good life and change her fate.
According to the plot of the novel, she should not go down the divorce route and turn into an adulteress which would, in turn, make her lose everything, lying in a hospital bed all her life.
She wanted to realize her dreams when she was a snake: to become an international star with the largest fanbase, and to let all the people in the world indulge in her beauty!
"I will take back what you have lost and what you cannot have!"
Chapter 3 – She Wants To Counterattack (3)
She combed her long hair down to her waist a few times with her fingers and lay on the soft bed.
According to the plot, not long after she takes the medicine, the male lead would come home, and seeing her state, take her to the hospital. The moment she would wake up and be sober, he would push for divorce.
I'll stop this!
Twenty minutes later, there was the faint sound of steady but fast footsteps coming from outside the room.
Shen Yichong adjusted his breathing before he pushed the door open. His eager pace even brought in a gust of wind.
But when he came to the bed, even though he had expected it, his face, which was as heavy as lead, suddenly became more solemn.
The woman who usually cried about everything was lying in bed in a white dress with a pale face.
The dark brown bed was a little messy, only a small part covered the milky white skin of her body. The smooth, soft, and straight slender legs were exposed…
Her wavy, black hair ran all the way down her waist, making her face look transparent in the dark.
Near the bedside cabinet, inside the garbage can, there were bottles of sleeping pills.
"Yu Yaoyao!" The man cried.
Yu Yaoyao's body shook.
Snakes are inherently immoral. Her blood, which had been silent for a hundred years, was somewhat agitated by this charming male voice.
Is this the diamond male lead in the book?
She whimpered, frowned, and tried to suppress her restless blood.
Her eyes were closed, eyelashes trembling. Although it was a little bit painful, she still tried to utter the generic lines of the female lead.
"Honey, don't go…" She whispered as if she was under a nightmare.
The demon circle did not allow her to mate a partner at will. Therefore, mating prevented her from genuinely falling in love.
When she thought of the sad, nearly two hundred years of being single, her eyes could not help but shed sad tears helplessly.
Shen Yichong frowned as if it was the first time he knew this woman.
She fell asleep quietly and said that she didn't want to leave him, even crying silently in her sleep.
"Yu Yaoyao!" He shook her thin shoulders with one hand and the other dialed for an ambulance.
However, after one click of a number, Yu Yaoyao, the snake spirit, seemed to wake up slowly. She opened her eyes and half-squinted before she could see the handsome, tall man standing at the head of the bed clearly.
He stood proudly in a white shirt. Although his tie was crooked and even the hair on his forehead was disorderly, this did not lessen his good looks.
At the moment, his eyes were dark as ink, glinting under the dark—and there was a fire in them.
Tsk, tsk! This handsome man with a high facial value, as her first prey, is not too bad!
"Husband!"
Following the regular female lead operation, she was like a frightened pigeon, suddenly plunging into his arms, firmly clinging to the man's chest and shivering all over…
Shen Yichong suddenly froze.
Yu Yaoyao tried to choke up another line of the female lead from the book.
"Wooo, wooo!" She howled miserably. "I had a dream that I died and that I'd never see you again… My heart aches as if a knife has been buried in it. It hurts so much that I can't breathe. Now, I know that you are truly so important to me."
Shen Yichong subconsciously tried to pull her arms apart, but when he heard that, his movements became stiff in mid-air.
"Didn't you say I had to give you five million today, or else you'd die?" He took a bottle of sleeping pills from the bed and squinted.
It wasn't opened.
Yu Yaoyao sobbed further. "Lying to you— oh, Husband, how can I be so silly?"
Shen Yichong frowned and looked suspiciously at her expression.
Yu Yaoyao looked at his distrust and dabbed at her tears again.
"It's posted on the Internet that couples often surprise each other after being together for many years." She continued. "Husband, you know I'm dumb. I can't think of such an elaborate thing. I can only check on the internet… and ask my sister. It's my sister who suggested it to me. You don't seem very well… surprised?" Yu Yaoyao pitifully grabbed his clothes and looked down.
Hmm! Let Yu Xinjie, that dog, take it!
Chapter 4 – Must Make Her Beautiful (1)
"Your sister's advice?" Shen Yichong narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Yu Yaoyao's big eyes flickered expectantly, but soon two more big tears fell down.
"Yes?"
A change in a second… She's a drama queen! And to think she was almost gasping for breath while she was crying.
The corner of Shen Yichong's mouth was almost hooked up and his face was full of cynicism. The moment he reached out, he threw Yu Yaoyao's arms away from him, letting her whole-body crash onto the bed!
The ink-like eyes as if there was a storm brewing inside, looked as if they were also submerged in a night of lightning and thunder.
The cold voice, almost bland, was as sharp as a knife. "Just a few days ago in this room, you said that marrying me was the biggest mistake in your life and your biggest regret. Don't you want to divorce me?" His dark eyes narrowed dangerously, making Yu Yaoyao tremble when she fell on the bed.
"Husband, I was confused at that time, and now I have figured it out!"
"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Shen Yichong looked sarcastically at the still sobbing woman.
Her beautiful face and perfect swan neck, when seen by any other man, could shake his faith. But there was only a flicker of disgust in this man's eyes.
Yu Yaoyao found that he did not have any trust in his eyes. Instead, he was fiercer and heavier; his heart was cold.
It seems that the male lead had completely lost patience and trust in the original owner.
The original owner liked the film emperor, so from her honeymoon, pregnancy to breastfeeding, she used to sleep in separate rooms from Shen Yichong on the pretext that she was not feeling well.
Later, they occasionally shared a room with each other. Every time they did it, she would show that she was in great pain and even shed tears. After this, Shen Yichong never wanted to touch her again.
To this day, they had become strangers.
This male lead is so pitiful. Having been married for many years and can't even touch his wife.
It was mentioned in the book that although his wife was like this, he always kept himself clean and considered women outside dirty. Therefore, he never went outside to tumble with other females.
Dammit! This is almost five years of being a monk, almost as miserable as I!
Yu Yaoyao looked at him in a moment of sympathy.
Shen Yichong was in a terrible mood. He was about to leave and drop a cruel remark.
"Keep your duty in mind, don't push me—"
But before he could finish, Yu Yaoyao suddenly got up from the bed and grabbed his big hand to put it on her soft chest.
Shen Yichong had been working in the business world for nearly ten years. He was serious and he had no fear of other people. But now, mid-sentence, when his cold palm touched a soft thing, the latter half of his remark directly turned to ashes.
It was as if he wanted to land a heavy blow but instead, his fist smashed into a mass of cotton; His strength was immediately exhausted.
His eyes became deep in an instant. "Are you testing my patience?"
Yu Yaoyao is shriveled and thought to herself, Isn't this to make the monk earn even a little interest? Otherwise, it would be too pitiful…
Over the past few years, ever since she had moved to this new home, there was at least 20 to 30-million-yuan worth of money his wife moved to her maternal home. He had a son who couldn't come home to enjoy a normal family, and his wife is useless.
Not even a touch, let alone ooxx's of happiness.
Since that can't be satisfied, he would naturally have a bad temper, ah! It's best to have the ideal combination of yin and yang. No wonder that he spoiled the female lead so much in the book.
"Husband, it is all my fault." Yu Yaoyao looked at him sincerely. "Now I know that you have only been kind and patient with me."
She understood. After all, she knew this feeling.
She, herself, was deprived of liberty for more than 170 years. She took it to heart miserably. In reality, the two were subjected to the same misery!
Chapter 5 – Must Make Her Beautiful (2)
Shen Yichong felt throbbing in his temples and the corners of his mouth twitched.
If the face and voice hadn't changed, he would have thought that the woman before him had been replaced by an impostor. Whenever she went a little closer to him in the last two years, she dodged and looked flustered.
"Let go!" His face was pitch-black. "As I said last time, don't even think about money other than the fixed monthly living expenses!"
His voice was so cold that people would think they were in the middle of a blizzard. "You only want to spend my money on other men." Instantly, the wind and rain outside blew down the branches heavily outside the window.
"I won't give you five million dollars. Don't even think of a penny!"
Yu Yaoyao was stunned. She remembered now: it seems to have been mentioned in the novel that the male lead found out that the original owner had taken all the money to support the film emperor to shoot, making him extremely angry!
Nevertheless, the original owner had been manipulated!
She always thought that the money she took was just for her sister's tuition fees, investment for her father's company, and making her family better off. But what she didn't know was that from the very beginning to end, Yu Xinjie had done this behind her back: fabricating evidence of her infidelity and borrowing her money to approach the film emperor.
Two birds with one stone!
"Put on your clothes!" Shen Yichong took his hand back impatiently. As if touching her felt very dirty.
Finally, he turned and strode away, slamming the door.
Yu Yaoyao could not help sighing. It's a difficult start.
It was a hell-class difficulty for her to change her husband's heart.
After the earlier engagement, she almost forgot she had placed her cell phone on the bedside table, of which several messages repeatedly jumped out.
— Sister, how are you?
— Did you see the news? Reply to me…?
Yu Yaoyao squinted. This was a secret code set by Yu Xinjie and the owner earlier.
When she sends this kind of message, it means a love letter has been released to the public.
But all this was to deceive the original owner, just to test whether she has taken the medicine or not and is still awake. If she doesn't reply, ten minutes later, this sister will sell her suicide letter to news outlets along with the love letters to be the subject of amusement of netizens.
And then, as soon as she appears in the hospital, she would be surrounded by reporters immediately.
Yu Yaoyao smirked.
She might as well do it!
Shen Yichong had gone up the stairway towards his room when soon after he heard gentle footsteps walking behind him keenly.
Turning his head, he saw Yu Yaoyao standing softly near the door.
She was wearing a white silk nightdress and covered it with a knitted, thin, rose-red, long jacket, while her white and tender but somewhat plump feet stepped on a pair of grey, rabbit-eared slippers.
Her hands were tightly wrapped around her jacket, accentuating her slender waist. Her long hair stretched like a long piece of algae. Although her face was pale at the moment, it did not hinder the light in her eyes, which glittered faintly.
"What now?" Shen Yichong glanced at her present appearance and frowned a little.
Yu Yaoyao could not help but shake off the cold emanating from his body. It was as if she had met a powerful eagle in the wild who could bite her neck from above.
But the next second she bit the tip of her tongue with her teeth, closed her eyes and turned pale. Then she gave a painful whimper and her whole person fell into his bosom!
"Take me to the hospital. Let the reporters… let the reporters photograph me beautifully!"
"Must be… photographed beautifully…!"
Shen Yichong: "…"
Chapter 6 – Must Make Her Beautiful (3)
When Yu Yaoyao woke up again, she was already in the hospital. When she had transmigrated, this body had been weak after hitting her head. Therefore, most of her 'fainting' had actually been true.
However, when she woke up, she saw that there was no one accompanying her in the broad single room.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The original body really lost all intimacy between husband and wife. In theory, even if they held no feelings for each other, this body gave birth to Shen Yichong's son. Shouldn't he, at the very least, accompany her in the ward for the sake of the child?
She looked at her right hand, which had a needle inserted on it and was afraid. She has always been in good health in the zoo and has never had an infusion. After a slight movement, she found nothing but numbness, swelling, coldness, and other discomforts.
Only after a while, did she calm down her heart, touching under the pillow to find her mobile phone.
This was the first time she saw today's hot search.
Hahahaha!
#MadamShenInfidelity: committed suicide for divorce!
#MadamShenOverdoseSleepingPills: dead or alive?!
#MadamShenSecretCrushFimEmperorChenForManyYears
Sure enough, as she guessed, gossip about her suicide and infidelity had come out. Fortunately, the photos showing her unconscious were beautiful.
Yu Yaoyao smiled in satisfaction and opened her verified microblogging account. She was a third-rate star because she has been pregnant with a child and only planned to come back recently, so there was almost no buzz about her on social media.
But now, only one person occupies the top ten hot searches, and she didn't know whether Yu Xinjie helped the media play it.
If so, then, of course, she must accept this sister's good intentions. She'll take a good swipe at this huge popularity!
When Yu Yaoyao saw today's Hot Search Number 10, she remembered the news that the national treasure panda, Meimei, was pregnant and had once occupied this spot. She couldn't help but laugh more, her lips perking up.
After all these years of being a snake, this is the first time she has overshadowed the panda.
Oh, happy~
Yu Yaoyao, unfamiliar with her new fingers, smiled and typed slowly, posting a real-time micro-blog update. She glanced at the needle in her hand again in fear, and obediently laid down in bed, not daring to move at random.
After a while, the exhaustion her body felt really eased her slowly into a deep sleep.
Shen Yichong and his assistant entered the ward and saw her lying limp on the bed, her back facing them. He could not but pinch his eyebrows to a frown.
His assistant, Chen Lin, was beside him looking at a tablet, and carefully looked at his face. "Boss, are we to come forward and clarify?"
Yu Yaoyao did not take sleeping pills. Her fainting was caused by malnutrition due to weight loss and a mild concussion.
Shen Yichong narrowed his eyes and his lips spit out two words coldly, "No need."
Chen Lin looked up in surprise. "But—"
"When the parent-child activity in Shen Rui's Kindergarten is over, you may contact a lawyer."
Chen Lin immediately held his breath and could not help but look at Mrs. Shen on the bed.
After years of working with his boss, he naturally knew what it meant to find a lawyer—he wanted a divorce.
Although Mrs. Shen is beautiful, she really let the boss down. After all, no man can tolerate his wife cheating.
Chen Lin nodded. "Yes."
But just as he was about to write the note down on his iPad, he saw an update of Mrs. Shen's old Weibo tagging ShenYichongOfficialBusinessMicroblog.
He froze, and hurriedly opened the update. He then looked at Shen Yichong with a glazed look on his face. "Boss, Madam… just posted a tweet."
Shen Yichong frowned and scowled at the woman in bed. "What did she say?"
He took the iPad into his hands and read from the top.
Yu Yaoyao:
Whimpers tried to make the second baby last night, only to faint and bump my head on the bed (blush) (blush) (blush)
I'm sorry to have worried you.
This paragraph was followed by an image of a medical case of which it said:
Malnutrition, concussion after a minor impact… exhaustion…
Chen Lin swallowed saliva and looked at the boss's expression. No need to clarify, I see…? Is the boss really so aggressive at night?
Indeed, it's not good news to knock your wife out in bed!
"Boss, I will go to the lawyer now and sue these small media outlets trying to slander Madam's reputation!"
Why had he thought the boss wanted a divorce? Chen Lin suddenly felt a burst of fear at almost misunderstanding his boss' words. Look what he did to his wife!
Shen Yichong's mouth was twitching fiercely. Holding the iPad hand, the blue veins on his forehead suddenly bulged!
Chapter 7 – She Wants This Little Child (1)
Chen Lin sat with his boss in the ward. He felt as if he was inside a massive ice cave, with cold air coming from his side every second!
Boss… has rejected thirteen design programs already!
Half an hour ago, Chen Lin had already wanted to escape.
There was a hot topic that sprinted to the ranking in a short time like a sudden force, occupying the top of today's micro-blog search list!
#YuYaoyaoDidNotCommitSuicide. HusbandTooStrong!
Since then, the temperature in the room has not been higher.
"Garbage, let him do it again!"
Chen Lin's eardrums were shaking! Fourteenth!
Chen Lin looked at Shen Yichong's extremely icy side profile, looking as if every pore was oozing discomfort.
Just as he was finding an excuse to leave, the iPad on the small table next to the sofa vibrated several times. He sneaked a glance and swallowed instantly. It was Boss' microblog online friends laughing at the current news.
— The fastest, most exotic, most compelling face-slapping in history: to kill a person by a laugh! Boss Shen, your wife is one of a kind!
— Mrs. Shen's inner monologue: Whoops, this person was pushed down by her husband and was not able to stand back up due to a moment of dizziness. Who committed suicide!? Husband is too fierce… this is also a problem~
— Boss Shen's voice: Wife, we better close the door. Say please!
With a bang, the dark-faced Shin Yichong almost hit the sofa with a punch! Chen Lin immediately hid in the corner like a quail.
"Give me a cigarette." Shen Yichong stood up with a husky voice.
"Well, you can't smoke inside the hospital, Boss—"
Faced with a dagger-like glare, Chen Lin swallowed the second half of the sentence and rushed to hand the cigarette and lighter from his pocket respectfully.
Shen Yichong squinted, clipped it between his fingers, and bit the cigarette in his mouth without using the lighter.
He looked up at the snow-white, weak but beautiful woman in the hospital bed, with dark eyes and scowled. "Find out who she's been in contact within the last month, the flow of bank cards and credit cards."
"Okay, boss, I'll go to work first." Chen Lin opened his mouth and immediately answered.
"Forget it, you don't have to…" Came Shen Yichong's tired reply.
"Ah? Boss?"
"You can go out."
"All right, boss!" Chen Lin did not hesitate at all and fled the room quickly.
Shen Yichong waited for the door to close. Afterward, his back which towered like a pine tree walked with extremely slow steps towards the bed, as if it was difficult to make even a little step. He looked down at the woman who buried most of her face in the quilt. At the moment, her eyes were closed, yet her face was still picturesque.
Even the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye was a beautiful contrast against her pale skin—even better than the harsh white of the hospital bedding.
Like a statue, he stood by her side, not knowing how long.
It was not until the sky was dark and the sun rays were faint did Yu Yaoyao woke up.
She did not dare to move the moment she woke up, for fear of the needle still inserted in her hand. However, while her brain was still groggy from sleep, she felt water dripping down the back of her palm.
Is it raining?
Yu Yaoyao opened her eyes.
She used to sleep, coiling herself up and hiding among the leaves. Now she unconsciously covers most of her face with a quilt, covering most of the viewing angle.
At present, she saw a fluffy little black head emerge from the side of her bed. The round and white little face was facing her. The cheeks looked very supple, just like a big pork bun that was smooth, tender, and sweet.
The moment after Yu Yaoyao opened her eyes, two more tears began to fall from the little bun's face, pattering in a broken line and falling down her hands. But soon the little bun bowed its head and noticed that the back of her hand was wet with tears.
The black eyes widened in fright and immediately turned to peep at Yu Yaoyao's face with guilt and panic.
Chapter 8 – She Wants This Little Child (2)
Yu Yaoyao briefly closed her eyes, narrowing them only a crack.
The small, steamed stuffed bun glanced at her and finding out that she didn't wake up, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But not for long, he wrinkled his delicate eyebrows, stretching out his soft, short and white hands to gently wipe the tears that fell on the back of her hand.
But after one swipe, he was shocked to find his own hands became wet. And even after wiping her hand in panic, both their skin were now drenched in tears. Immediately, the face of the small steamed stuffed bun was completely flustered.
Ah! Where did this little guy come from…?
From beneath the quilt, Yu Yaoyao's eyes were shining brightly.
Whenever she was bored in the zoo, she loved to amuse all kinds of little babies. Since she didn't have her own, she could only play with others.
While looking at the little steamed stuffed bun who was stuck with panic and anxiety, her heart softened unconsciously. As he raised his tiny buttocks in a desperate effort to reach for paper towels that were out of reach, she secretly rubbed the back of her hand against the mattress to dry it.
Finally, having been able to take a tissue out, the little steamed stuffed bun came back to her side. Seeing her dry hand he looked stunned, but he quickly wiped his white and tender little face cleverly.
He secretly looked at Yu Yaoyao again, as if to make sure she was asleep.
Yu Yaoyao closed her eyes fast.
Was this the original owner and Shen Yichong's son, Shen Rui, who is approaching his fifth birthday? This little cutie… he was so lovely it melted her, a snake's heart, ah! Uwu!
Why so cute?!
After listening to Yu Yaoyao's instigations, Shen Yichong had decided that he would not let their son go with her after the divorce was pushed through.
It is better for her not to cultivate feelings with her son in the beginning and later let him feel heartache once they became separated. So after weaning her child, she gave him to the nanny's care. She hardly paid any attention to him and even seldom talked to her child at home.
This poor pup!
When she closed her eyes to think, she felt the quilt on her stomach suddenly move, and followed by a light weight. She opened her eye a small crack and unexpectedly saw this little steamed stuffed bun's face staring warily at her. Seeing that she had no response, he quickly put another small hand on her stomach.
What's the little steamed stuffed bun doing? Yu Yaoyao wondered curiously.
Before long, she saw the little steamed stuffed bun's hands and feet, carefully and gently climbed onto the bed. He slowly placed his own messy, little black head on her stomach, rubbing it.
His whole face splayed across the quilt, he stuck to her.
Seeing that her eyes were still closed, the little steamed stuffed bun seems to finally feel at rest. From this comfortable position, a happy voice unconsciously came out from his mouth as his small hands firmly grasped the quilt.
He closed his eyes, lying peacefully in her arms.
He was wrapped around her like a cub who had just come into the world and was afraid of being carried away by a fierce eagle.
Yu Yaoyao's heart instantly turned into water.
It was mentioned in the novel that the steamed stuffed bun wanted to be close to his mother when he was young, and even cried for his mother to hug him, but the original owner would push him away and even scold him loudly.
Over time, the child was so afraid of his own mother that he dared not approach her at all.
But still, the little steamed stuffed bun wants his mother. Day by day, he has been approaching her silently and secretly.
Yu Yaoyao felt tender pain assault her heart.
The tense body of the steamed bun relaxed slowly over time, and she could see that he had climbed atop her without any shoes on his feet.
In the room, beside her big bed, was a temporary small bed for children with a blue duckling embroidered on the quilt.
Yu Yaoyao slightly pursed her lips. Her fingers were twitching; she wanted to touch the small feet of the steamed bun.
But just then, the door to the ward was suddenly opened.
Chapter 9 – She Wants This Little Child (3)
Yu Yaoyao's hand immediately retracted. And the little bun lying gently on her stomach, like a frightened kitten, straightened up his head, looking towards the door.
It was Shen Yichong who opened the door. He was wearing a long, black windbreaker on top of his straight suit and he squinted at the little bun with some displeasure.
"Shen Rui, go to bed. You'll go to kindergarten tomorrow." Shen Yichong's voice was low, but he still made sure that the little bun could hear clearly.
The little bun immediately looked back at Yu Yaoyao in a panic and then stared at his father in disapproval. He had a look as if he had been robbed of something he loves!
"Shen Rui, don't let me say it again. Are you a man, not keeping your promise? You just said you'd come to see your mother and go to bed."
"What are you doing now?" Shen Yichong finished.
When he said the second sentence, the little bun climbed out of bed, away from his mother's stomach and stood stubbornly on the ground.
But the next second, he instantly turned fifteen degrees and pointed his butt at his father.
He stood there on a corner, his dark eyes shining with grievances, petty indignation, and embarrassment.
Obviously, if Dad hadn't come in, he could have stayed in his mother's arms a little longer. ~
Mom's embrace— soft, different from Dad's! But now it's all blocked by Dad! As soon as Dad comes in and talks, Mom will be woken up. And when his mother wakes up, he can't stay in her arms any longer.
He pursed his small mouth angrily.
Shen Yichong sighed and walked up to him. "Come to Dad and let your mother rest."
As he spoke, Shen Yichong grabbed his son and used a small towel to dry his teary face. However, the little stuffed bun struggled restlessly. When it was tucked into its own small bed, it protested discontentedly and kicked off the quilt covered over him.
His pair of small, black eyes stared at Yu Yaoyao without blinking. This unwilling look would almost make people think that they were far away from each other and not inside a ward.
Shen Yichong couldn't help but frown further, squatting down in front of his son. "Shen Rui, there are some problems between father and mother, and we may not be able to continue living together in the future."
Yu Yaoyao, who pretended to be sleeping, had been eavesdropping with her ears perked up and eyes squinting. But when she heard this, she couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to wake up, but she was shocked by Shen Yichong's next sentence.
"Dad doesn't want to deceive you. You are big now, you've learned to watch the news yourself."
Yu Yaoyao was shocked. She glanced at the bed and sure enough, there was a mini-tablet placed to the side. The next second it was firmly held by the little bun within his arms.
Shen Yichong was squatting with his back to her. "You saw it too, didn't you? Father and mother are not happy together."
The little stuffed bun's small head suddenly tilted down, leaving only the eyelashes that were naturally curled to be seen trembling.
"Shen Rui, live with your father and set your mother free."
"You also want your mother to be happy, right?"
The little stuffed bun sobbed, his thin shoulders shaking so much, and he was trying to refrain from crying out loud. For a very long time, he was reluctant, but then he nodded his little head sadly.
Yu Yaoyao's peeping eyes were hot, and she immediately held the tears at bay. She opened her mouth wide, raising her hand weakly from the bed.
"About that, wait…I am very happy now!"
Chapter 10 – Take It Easy Lying Down (1)
As soon as Yu Yaoyao spoke, the only two men in the ward, one small and the other big, looked at her face at the same time.
She immediately squeezed a sentence out, "Well, I… I'm happy right now. I don't want to be set free."
Not only did Shen Yichong, who was squatting on the ground speaking gently to her son, looked back at her coldly, but even the heartbroken little bun sitting on the cot, who had been sobbing in a low voice, looked at her with some shock.
The men in the family looked at her as if she had said something out of this world.
Good! This is a good start for her!
"Well, I mean—" Yu Yaoyao ransacked her brain for sentences she had read from the novel. "I don't want a divorce."
Shen Yichong stood up, frowned, and waved her off dismissively, "I can give you your living expenses all at once."
He continued. "You said 5 million in this text message—I can give it to you this minute."
Yu Yaoyao's mouth gaped open. Am I following the plot of the book?
In the original plot, she had swallowed sleeping pills, swindled 5 million from the male lead, and was finally kicked out of the family.
Currently, she had avoided taking sleeping pills, but she still can't avoid the ugly plot development?
No, she won't accept it!
She cannot follow the original owner's past, miserable road. She still has a lot of dreams from back when she was a snake to fulfill! Moreover, she has a lovely child now.
Regardless of everything, she wants this cub!
"I don't want the money." Yu Yaoyao shook her head quickly.
Shen Yichong immediately glared at her. "How much do you want?" He directly thought that she was unsatisfied with the current amount of money!
Yu Yaoyao looked at the little bun on the cot who had apparently grown nervous by the minute. He clung to the small tablet within his hands in a vice grip. His round, watery eyes seemed to look at the ground, but from time to time he secretly glanced at her while she was not looking at him. Afterward, he pretended to watch his dad, taking his little eyes off her.
From the moment she had spoken, the little bun had peeked at her at least a dozen times.
"It's not about the money." Yu Yaoyao raised her chin and looked stubbornly at the gloomy man in front of her… Holding the corner of her dress and biting her pink lips, she blushed and peered at the little bun to the side.
With him stealing secret glances, their sights finally collided with each other. The little bun's little face immediately became a little scarlet.
"It's not appropriate to talk about this kind of topic in front of the child." Yu Yaoyao answered, raising her tiny face towards him, which was already covered with a tinge of red. And her eyes, like flowing, spring water, bravely looked into the cold, black eyes of Shen Yichong.
"But at this point, I want to admit that I am really, truly, in love with you, husband."
Shen Yichong's mouth hooked to a sneer at her confession. "Love me?" He squinted at her icily.
Throughout the ward, the temperature seemed to have suddenly dropped by several degrees.
Yu Yaoyao unconsciously lowered her neck under Shen Yichong's dagger-like glare. But she still nodded and confessed with a tinge of embarrassment. "I did give my heart and soul to another man and ignored your feelings."
"But even if I love another man more, you still hold a place in my heart!" She quickly supplied.
She looked up and saw Shen Yichong's ugly expression as if he had eaten a fly.
"Shut up! I'll take Shen Rui home to sleep and let my assistant accompany you!" Shen Yichong didn't expect her to be so cheeky!
Unexpectedly, in front of their young son, she could open her mouth to say she liked another man.
"No, no!" Yu Yaoyao hastened to say, "I'm not finished yet!"
But Shen Yichong had turned around and squatted once more, defiantly putting socks on the little bun's tiny feet. The little bun also had a dull expression on his face at the moment. He looked to and fro from her to his father in askance.
Yu Yaoyao gritted her teeth. "Shen Yichong! Five years ago until this day, my heart was only occupied by the baby named Shen Rui!"
