Su Yaya paused and wondered if he noticed something, but what could he find out? Her soul had transmigrated but it was the same body. It would be strange if he found out something was different, at most, he would just think that she had a different personality than the original host. 

But according to the original’s host’s character, she might have killed herself before the heroine came back, so she wanted to change, but she could not say this to Shen Xiuqi, so she had to find another excuse, one that could convince him.

Su Yaya thought about it for a moment and said, “I’ve been fine these days and nothing happened. Why are you asking?”

Shen Xiuqi observed her and believed that other than her strange actions, there was nothing different about her, so he probably thought too much about it. He reached over to pat her hair and smiled. “I just think that you are acting differently than usual.”

As expected, she had guessed the same. 

Su Yaya prepared her excuse. She rubbed against Shen Xiuqi’s chest like a little kitten and with a careful tone, she tried to please Shen Xiuqi, “That’s because I already married you. I can’t be as unruly like before. You’re outstanding and I want to be an outstanding person too. That way, I can be a worthy of you.”

Any man would feel very proud and comfortable hearing such words, and Shen Xiuqi was no exception.

Even if the two of them got married because of a contract, people like Shen Xiuqi still hope that their wives were good enough to match them, so that they could have more face when they were taken out. Like Su Yaya before, she could only be his girlfriend at best which was one of the reasons why he did not announce his marriage to Su Yaya.

He was now willing to pamper her and coax her only because she was pleasing him, but if she asked for more, he wouldn’t allow it. So, hearing Su Yaya say that she was willing to work hard to change and become better for him greatly satisfied his vanity as a man and easily accepted his words.

“If you feel it’s too hard, you don’t have to work so hard. Just rest at home, like before.” Shen Xiuqi patted her back with hand and coaxed her.

Su Yaya thought to herself that she was not tired at all. She was only taking advantage of the opportunity that he was good to her as she please him and build a good relationship while trying to get more resources and make more money until they divorce, by then, her life wouldn’t be too bad. She could go back to her hometown and plant crops, where she would have a relaxing life with the money she earned.

The two have completely different thoughts and goals, but neither of them made it clear, creating a strange yet harmonious atmosphere.

“I’m hungry, go make me something.” Yesterday night, after Shen Xiuqi ate Su Yaya’s food, he discovered that he really enjoyed her cooking. After thinking about it, he decided that he wants to taste her food again. Before this, he was deeply suspicious as to whether or not Su Yaya’s cooking was edible or not…Who knew the change came so quickly, he was really ashamed.

Su Yaya was really happy that Shen Xiuqi had gifted her such a huge diamond necklace. Of course, she wouldn’t go and offend him right now. What he asks for was what he gets. He wanted to eat so she quickly tidied up and endured her back pain to cook for him.

Su Yaya walked to the kitchen and looked at the ingredients she bought the previous night. There were tomatoes, eggs, pork, eggplants, and many more so, she decided to make egg and tomato soup, stir fried some pork meat and cold eggplants.

Su Yaya scooped a bowl of rice and rinsed it with water before pouring it into the rice cooker, then measure the water with her hand, and then she switched the rice cooker on. Su Yaya sliced the meat into small parts and prepared the green papers which she would stir fry with the pork meat. She then sliced the eggplant in half and placed it in the pot to steam it. Afterwards, she went to prepare the dipping sauce which she will use for later. She also removed the skin of the tomato and beat the eggs in the bowl with her chopsticks, mixing it clockwise until the egg yolk was broken apart, and it should enough.
