The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife | Book 2

302.Thank You

After Joy finished speaking, she pushed Chanyeol away and left. Chanyeol stood in the shadow in the corner of the tall building and watched her walk away. There was a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he was a knight who had seen a princess leave.

"Mr. ... Mr. Bae?" Yeri, who was wearing Si Bae High School's uniform, stood not far away. She looked at Chanyeol in disbelief. Upon closer inspection, there was an undisguised surprise in her eyes. She took a step forward and shouted, "Is it really you?" Although the mask covered half of her face and her expression couldn't be seen clearly, Yeri's pair of beautiful eyes that were exposed outside curved up, showing her good mood.

When Chanyeol saw this, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened. He had just sent away a prey when a new one came to his doorstep. He adjusted his glasses and walked to Yeri with a smile. He said gently, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Miss Lee here. Where are you going? Shall I send you?"

"I... I just happened to be here for dinner." Chanyeol looked handsome and gentle, while his eyes were filled with deep affection. Yeri couldn't help but blush. She looked up at him shyly. "Where's Mr. Bae? What were you looking at just now?" She looked in the direction Chanyeol had looked, but she didn't see anything.

"I. . . Miss Lee should know about my fiancée, Miss Park Sooyong, right?" The corners of Chanyeol's mouth showed some bitterness. He lowered his head and said indifferently, "Because of this, I am now a joke in the upper-class circle."

"Mr. Bae, please don't say that." Yeri couldn't help but frown. She felt sorry for Chanyeol. At the same time, she blamed Joy. How could she bear to hurt such a gentle man? Thinking of Joy going crazy for Jungkook, and even daring to express her love for Jungkook after the live broadcast was exposed, Yeri hated Joy even more. Idiot. She couldn't even do a good job of framing Lisa. In the end, she even caused Chanyeol to lose face.

Thinking of this, Yeri couldn't help but take a step forward to comfort him. "Mr. Bae, this isn't your fault. No one will laugh at you. It's Miss Park..." She tucked her long hair behind her ears, and her thick eyelashes trembled. She said softly, "I know that it's not appropriate for me to say these words, but I still think that Miss Sooyoung is too impulsive She doesn't care about your status at all. Even with a gentle boyfriend like Mr. Bae, Miss Park still doesn't know how to cherish him. She's too willful."

When Chanyeol heard Yeri's words, the smile in his eyes deepened. He sighed. "Thank you..." He raised his hand as if he wanted to touch Yeri's hair, but he restrained his hand as he thought of something. he lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, Miss Lee, for comforting me. My mood is much better."

"I... I'm not comforting you. I'm sincere." Yeri was anxious, she couldn't help but blurt out, "It wasn't your fault to begin with. Don't be sad because of Miss Park's actions. You're so nice. She's not worth it."

Chanyeol looked at Yeri's eyes that were wide open because of her anxiety. There was a slight smile in his eyes. Under his gaze, Yeri's face suddenly flushed. This man was really handsome and gentle. He was a completely different type from Sehun. Unfortunately, after the Bae family left the Jeon Corporation, their power wasn't as great as before. They couldn't even compare to the Lee family. In this regard, Chanyeol wasn't worthy of her.

...

Yeri was a little disappointed, but her heart was beating faster and faster. Under Chanyeol's gaze, she lowered her head shyly. "I... Did I say too much?" She tapped the ground with her toes in embarrassment. She said softly, "I'm sorry, I was too angry. What I said was a little rude..."

"No, you're very cute like this." Chanyeol smiled slightly. He looked at Yeri's hair and said softly, "I'm really happy that you think that way. I know that you don't think I'm a joke, like the others. I also feel relieved. I don't care what others think of me, but I really don't want you to think that I'm useless." His voice sounded a little low, but he was still gentle. "It's great to know that you don't think that way now."

Yeri's face turned even redder. Chanyeol... why did he care so much about her opinion? Why could he not care about other people's opinions, but was only happy because of her opinion? Did he say that she was cute because she spoke up for him, or was she cute in other ways?
