The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife - Chapter 220

Ch.220 Reunion (2)

An Yutong’s heart thumped. He actually didn’t want her to touch him?!

After Chen Xiuqi temporarily lost his self-control, he quickly recovered. He glanced at Xu Kai and An Yutong, asking deeply, “Why did you guys come over?”

There was a tint of irritation and impatience in his tone.

Xu Kai was really familiar with this and he found it shocking that Chen Xiuqi would reveal this emotion. But afterwards, he recalled how when An Yutong went abroad, she ended up getting into a fight with Chen Xiuqi. Now that she suddenly came back, it was inevitable that Chen Xiuqi was unhappy. Plus, there was already a replacement by his side and he heard that the two had a pretty good relationship. He probably didn’t expect for the original to come back. Now, he was under shock and didn’t know how to handle the situation!

When he thought this, it seemed to make sense. Xu Kai hurriedly laughed and said, “Yutong just got off the plane this afternoon and then I coincidentally met her at the airport today, so she came back to the city in my car. Yutong said that she hadn’t seen you for a long time in the car, so she wanted to ask you to get lunch with her. Call A-Guang, A-Ming, and the others too. Let us friends gather together. Therefore, we came to find you.”

Chen Xiuqi faintly answered and got the gist of the situation, but he was still expressionless. He said in a faint voice, “But you guys came at a bad time. I have an urgent matter to attend to, and time isn’t on my side.” He had to hurry to get the Kashmir Sapphire ring from Mia.

Hearing this, Xu Kai glanced at An Yutong and she also detected Chen Xiuqi’s strangeness. However, she didn’t understand why Chen Xiuqi would react this way.

She already found out from her sister, An Yuting, that Chen Xiuqi had found a replacement that looked really like her. She heard that they basically looked the same and he pampered her a lot.

Since he pampered a replacement that much, shouldn’t he pamper the original even more? Thinking of Chen Xiuqi’s love towards her, An Yutong finally had the confidence of getting on the flight back here without telling anyone. After she encountered Xu Kai, she bugged him to bring her to see Chen Xiuqi. Even more, she thought of the excuse already. Since everyone hadn’t seen each other in a while, they should gather together!

But looking at Chen Xiuqi’s reaction, this excuse didn’t work at all. Chen Xiuqi reacted too indifferently. Rather than saying that he had a matter to attend to and was too busy, why not say that he didn’t even want to gather with them? He was basically looking for an excuse to not attend. This didn’t make sense.

Chen Xiuqi wouldn’t give her face which was different from what An Yutong expected. She finally got a chance for Xu Kai to bring her to the Chen Company to find Chen Xiuqi. If she didn’t succeed this time, who knew when the next time would be.

How could An Yutong watch as her opportunity slipped away just like this? An idea popped up in her mind and she asked, “Xiuqi, I had been abroad for a long time and I really miss you guys. I came back this time and it is rare for everyone to be together, so why not invite them for a gathering? Since everyone will be there, how can you not come? At least give me face!”

An Yutong smiled as she said this, making it seem like she really just wanted a gathering and she wasn’t thinking about anything else.
