THE MALE LEAD'S SUBSTITUTE WIFE

C154&155

The most beautiful star (1)

Under the barrage of Su Yaya’s refusal and A’din’s persuasion, Chen Xiuqi finally agreed to pick another dress. They went through nearly a hundred pieces before a black dovetail halter dress was chosen. It revealed her slender shoulders and nothing else. Not her chest, back, or legs.

Fortunately, the dress could still be considered fashionable. Su Yaya was naturally beautiful and could make an ordinary dress look good without much effort. So pulling off a high-end halter dress, even though it was plain, was no problem at all. Afterwards, A’din matched her makeup and hairstyle according to the style of the dress.

Once everything was done, she walked out and stopped directly in front of Chen Xiuqi.

“Do I look good?” she asked as she raised her chin.

“Yes,” Chen Xiuqi answered truthfully. As a matter of fact, she had captured his gaze from the moment she walked out of the dressing room.

Su Yaya smiled. “I think so too.”

Chen Xiuqi extended an arm and said softly, “Let’s go.”

“Okay.” She took his arm and left the modelling studio with him. They took a car to the hotel where the charity dinner was being held.

At 8 o’clock, the gates of the Fuheng Peninsula Hotel were filled with cars. Most of the people who came to the charity dinner were either business elites, famous directors, producers, singers, or actresses.

In front of the hotel, there was a 50-meter-long red carpet for the guests to walk down. The reporters who were invited surrounded the carpet with all sorts of cameras and bright flashes.

Soon, a black limousine pulled up and caught the attention of everyone nearby. They peered at the windows, wondering who could be sitting inside.

The chauffeur got out first and went around to open the passenger door.

A pair of long legs and shiny leather shoes came into view and the surrounding people all began to whisper. Which big celebrity could this be?

Chen Xiuqi got out of the car, his expression indifferent in the face of their whispers. When his handsome countenance was revealed, all of the reporters instantly shared the same thought: Wow, it’s the president of the Chen Group, Chen Xiuqi! Hurry, I have to get a picture!

And thus, they all began to clamor to take the best picture.

Surrounded by endless flashes and clicking, Chen Xiuqi straightened his suit and looked around expressionlessly. Then, he turned and walked to the other side of the limousine.

Everyone was surprised! What was going on? They all knew that Chen Xiuqi preferred to attend public events alone or with an assistant.

Since he revealed his relationship with Su Yaya on Weibo in the morning, could he be opening the door for Su Yaya?

At the thought of this possibility, everyone’s curiosity was raised to its peak. They stared expectantly at the door.

It would be huge news if it was Su Yaya! All of the reporters, who’d waited several hours for the event to begin, suddenly felt that the wait was worth it.

They watched as Chen Xiuqi opened the car door and smiled. He leaned down and said something to the person sitting in the car, then, extended his other hand.

A pair of high heels touched the floor. The woman’s legs were covered by her black dress. Under Chen Xiuqi’s gaze, Su Yaya came down from the car. Standing side by side, the two painted a beautiful image.

The surrounding reporters were shocked for a second before the cameras began to flash frantically again. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They looked too good!

First, Chen Xiuqi disclosed their relationship to the public. Then, he brought her along to a charity dinner. This was a complete acknowledgement of their relationship.

Just the day before, people were saying that Su Yaya was being kept by Chen Xiuqi and that dating and marriage were impossible!

Clearly, those rumors were false. Chen Xiuqi’s feelings for her were as clear as day. Such a gentle and caring gaze was only possible for a man in love!

Chen Xiuqi took Su Yaya’s hand and together, they stepped onto the red carpet. He walked slowly and carefully, mindful of her 4-inch heels and long dress. As they smiled and whispered to each other, the reporters were still crazily snapping pictures.

Afterwards, they stared at the pictures they took and sighed, “Is that really the President Chen I know? Isn’t he treating Su Yaya too well?”

Others agreed, nodding like pecking chicks, “Right? I thought I was the only one wh thought so. You can see his love just from the way he’s looking at her. It can’t be fake. If it is, then Chen Xiuqi’s acting ability is on the level of an Oscar award winner.”

“It has to be real. They’re like Cinderella and Prince Charming! I think I’m starting to believe in love again.”

The parties involved were oblivious to whatever the others were saying about them, soon they disappeared into the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was already packed with people. When Chen Xiuqi walked in with Su Yaya, they were instantly recognized. The people who were more familiar with Chen Xiuqi went forward and chatted with him enthusiastically.

While Chen Xiuqi exchanged words with all of them, Su Yaya held onto his arm and stood there quietly with a smile. No trace of impatience could be seen on her face as she listened to their conversations.

Wave after wave of people approached, it wasn’t until quite a while later that he finally finished dealing with all of them.

Su Yaya stood beside him in her 4-inch heels and wore a small smile on her face the entire time.

Chen Xiuqi lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, “Tired? Let’s go sit down.”

The organizer had arranged two front-row seats for them.

Su Yaya looked at him and wondered how he knew she was tired. She had been patient and careful not to show it.

“I can tell,” he laughed.

This person was really too sharp.

She could only smile in response. “Let’s go then.”

“Okay.” He led her to the front and sat down.

Su Yaya had just taken her seat when she felt someone tap on her shoulder. Sister Hui’s smiling face greeted her when she turned her head.

“Miss Su, you look so beautiful today!”

Sister Hui was also wearing a black halter dress while a pair of large earrings dangled from her ears. She looked glamorous, quite the opposite of how she usually dressed as a host.

“You look very beautiful too, Sister Hui,” Su Yaya complimented.

Sister Hui looked at her and smiled. “Thank you.”

They were wearing the same type of dress, only, Su Yaya’s dress was from a famous brand. Obviously, they couldn’t be compared. What Su Yaya said was just a pleasantry.

In fact, everyone’s gazes had been stuck to Chen Xiuqi and Su Yaya since they walked in. Sister Hui was no exception.

Chen Xiuqi was handsome, young, and rich. There was no shortage of women who wanted to become Mrs Chen, however, he never paid attention to any of them. He remained single until his Weibo post revealed his relationship with Su Yaya. Now, countless people were curious to see who exactly this Su Yaya was.

Su Yaya, in her black dovetail halter dress, easily captured the attention of everyone at the banquet hall. The other women present, whether they were the charming, stunning, or alluring type, all paled in comparison to her! She was the most beautiful star at the banquet!
