The Male Lead's Substitute Wife

Ch.219 Reunion (1)

Chen Xiuqi was in his office handling his work when his phone suddenly rang. It was Mia.

“Mia.” Chen Xiuqi picked up the phone and glanced at his phone screen while smiling. “Is my ring ready?”

Mia said, “I worked overtime last night and finished the last procedure. The ring is so beautiful that it can’t be described in words. There is not another ring that is as beautiful. Hurry back to see. Then take it to propose quickly. I’m worried about just leaving the ring here. I’m going on a plane to America in three hours and I probably won’t be back until three or four months later.”

“Why are you suddenly thinking about going to America?” Chen Xiuqi placed his work down and asked shockingly.

Mia paused and then told him. “I received Old Xue’s email yesterday and he told me to go over there to help him. Since I’ve known him for so many years, I think it’s better if I go under this urgent time.”

Chen Xiuqi softly laughed and said, “After being in a dilemma for so many years, you finally thought it through.”

“Ok, ok. Can we stop talking about me?” Mia interrupted him, embarrassed. She quickly said, “I’m waiting for you at my studio. Quickly come over to pick up the ring. You will definitely propose successfully with this beautiful Kashmir Sapphire ring!”

“Thank you for your positivity!” Chen Xiuqi smiled in satisfaction. He then said, “I’m going over right away.”

“Ok, I’m waiting for you.” Mia hung up.

A genuine smile appeared from the bottom of his heart. He was in a very happy mood. He was really excited that he could hum a song right now.

He quickly turned his computer off and grabbed his phone and car keys, walking quickly outside of the office. He was going to get his Kashmir Sapphire ring right away.

Assistant Chen came over and asked Chen Xiuqi what the matter was. He smiled and waved his hands, saying, “Nothing is going on. I need to go out, so you can get off work once you’re done with work.”

Assistant Chen glanced at his delightful expression and so, he thought that something good must be happening for his boss. He watched as Chen Xiuqi walked over in large strides.

Chen Xiuqi walked quickly to the elevator door and was about to press it when the elevator door opened. Then, he saw An Yutong and Xu Kai coming out.

When the two suddenly appeared, Chen Xiuqi was clearly stunned. He even forgot to withdraw his hand which was pressing on the elevator button. Then he heard Xu Kai smiling proudly. “Old Shen, look who’s back?”

Chen Xiuqi’s gaze landed on An Yutong and it was expressionless.

When An Yutong saw this, she snorted. Chen Xiuqi seemed to be shocked by her sudden appearance and also frightened. Even more, he was stiff and didn’t seem to know how to act. He acted exactly the way she thought he would act.

“What? You don’t recognize me? I’m An Yutong!” An Yutong smiled and blinked her beautiful eyes. She walked two steps ahead and wanted to pull on Chen Xiuqi’s sleeves like she usually did.

Chen Xiuqi was frozen in his spot. Although he was thinking differently from An Yutong, he was indeed shocked by An Yutong’s sudden appearance because this messed up the things he arranged. Therefore, he was slow for a bit. Yet the moment An Yutong was about to touch him, he immediately reacted as though he was scared of being infected by a disease. He subconsciously moved his hand back and ducked An Yutong’s hand which wanted to pull his sleeves.
