Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride's Gambit-Chapter 61 - Who Named You

Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Who Named You?

Chapter 61 -61 Who Named You?

Ye Chuyi had a good night’s sleep and woke up full of energy the next day. After washing up, she went downstairs and saw Sheng Tingyuan sitting on the living room sofa watching the news.

When had he come back?

Although the question flashed through her mind, she didn’t ask, as his expression was cold, clearly displeased by her occupation of his bedroom the previous night.

After breakfast was ready, Tang Jin came downstairs with the help of the servants.

Ye Chuyi and Sheng Tingyuan sat on either side of her, but Tang Jin said to Sheng Tingyuan, “Why are you sitting on my side? Sit next to your wife.”

Sheng Tingyuan stiffened for a few seconds but eventually got up and sat next to Ye Chuyi.

He was worried that Ye Chuyi would pull some stunt, but it turned out he was overly concerned; with Tang Jin there, she behaved impeccably, eating all the food Tang Jin served her and relishing it as if she wasn’t picky at all.

Influenced by her good appetite, Tang Jin unusually ate half a bowl more of lean meat porridge.

The anger Sheng Tingyuan felt from her takeover of the bedroom subsided considerably. It didn’t matter to him if she was upset as long as she could make his mother happy; he would accept anything.

After breakfast, Ye Chuyi said she was going to work, and Tang Jin instructed him, “Tingyuan, drive Xiaoyi to work, and when she gets off, you are to pick her up, come rain or shine.”

Ye Chuyi was about to refuse when she heard Sheng Tingyuan say, “Okay, I will.”

She instantly widened her eyes. Was he really going to drive her to and from work? In all weathers?

On the way to work, the two sat together in the back seat, and Ye Chuyi couldn’t help looking at him several times. She always felt he wouldn’t be this kind-hearted.

“Looking at what? Want to apologize?”

“You’re overthinking it.”

“So when will you be ready?”

His question was out of the blue, but Ye Chuyi understood.

“You’re not ready yourself, yet you expect me to be ready?”

His resistance to her was obvious. If he had really wanted to sleep with her, her little tricks wouldn’t have succeeded so easily.

Sheng Tingyuan spoke in a light tone, “I’m ready.”

“Really? I don’t believe you.”

Ye Chuyi leaned in close to him, “Kiss and we’ll see.”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t move, but his gaze fell upon her rosy, full lips, and for the first time, he noticed how beautiful her lips were.

Feeling his gaze, Ye Chuyi’s cheeks warmed, and she kicked him, “Where are you looking? I said to kiss my cheek!”

Sheng Tingyuan diverted his gaze and unceremoniously turned her head to the side, “Sit properly.”

The warmth on Ye Chuyi’s cheeks subsided, and she relaxed; clearly, he wasn’t ready.

She stopped tormenting him and quietly sat there, scrolling through the news on her phone.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Tingyuan initiated conversation, “Ye Chuyi, who named you?”

Ye Chuyi was startled, “Why do you ask?”

“Just something that came to mind, just asking.”

Since he just asked on a whim, Ye Chuyi also responded casually, “My mom named me.”

Actually, her name wasn’t given by Lin Yueqin, but by Lady Wen.

Her original name wasn’t very nice, but Lady Wen, having accidentally learned she wanted to change it, took the liberty of renaming her “Chuyi,” which meant a new beginning, new hope.

As a child, she didn’t like the name much, but as she grew up, she came to genuinely like her name. She had been thankful to Lady Wen countless times; the name fitted her perfectly.

Her phone chimed, and Ye Chuyi looked down to see a message from Cong Ningyuan: “Boss, the building you were interested in has been priced by the other party: six hundred million, which is a bit over our budget.”

Their budget was five hundred million; one hundred million over was not just a bit.
