Shen Xiuqi was busy dealing with work in the office when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Mia.
"Mia." Shen Xiuqi picked up the phone. Staring at the computer screen, he smiled and said, "Is my ring ready?"
Mia said on the phone, "I worked overtime last night to finish the last step of the ring. It's so beautiful. There's no ring as beautiful as this. Come and have a look. Take it back and propose immediately. I'm worried about leaving it with me. I'll fly to the United States in three hours. It'll take me three or four months to come back."
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the United States?" Shen Xiuqi stopped his work and asked in surprise.
Mia paused for a moment and said, "I received an email from Old Xue yesterday. He asked me to help him. I've known him for so many years. At this critical moment, I think it's better for me to go."
Shen Xiuqi chuckled. "After so many years of struggle, you finally figured it out."
"Okay, okay, can we stop talking about me?" Mia interrupted him embarrassedly and said quickly, "I'm waiting for you in the studio now. Come and take the ring back. It's such a beautiful Kashmir sapphire ring. Your proposal will definitely succeed!"
"Thank you for your auspicious words!" Shen Xiuqi smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'll come and get it right away."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Mia hung up the phone.
Shen Xiuqi's mouth held a smile from the bottom of his heart. He was in a very good mood. His eyes were full of joy. He was so excited that he almost hummed a song.
He quickly turned off the computer, took his cell phone and car keys, and walked out of the office quickly. He wanted to get the sapphire ring right away.
Assistant Chen came over and asked him what's the matter. He smiled and waved his hand. "Nothing. I'm going out now. You can finish your work and get off work."
Assistant Chen saw him so proud and thought, Big Boss must have something good to do! Shen Xiuqi had already strode to the front.
Shen Xiuqi walked quickly to the elevator door. Just as he was about to press the button, the elevator door opened with a bang. Then, he saw An Yutong and Xu Kai walking out.
Shen Xiuqi was obviously stunned by the sudden appearance of these two people. He even forgot to retract his hand that had reached out to press the elevator button. He heard Xu Kai laugh proudly and say, "Old Shen, look who's back?"
Shen Xiuqi's eyes moved to An Yutong's face, without any expression.
Seeing this, An Yutong burst into laughter. Shen Xiuqi looked like he was shocked by her sudden appearance. He also looked like he was scared stiff and didn't know what to do. It was exactly the same as what she imagined before she came.
"What? You don't recognize me? I'm An Yutong! " An Yutong smiled and blinked her beautiful eyes. She took two steps forward and wanted to pull Shen Xiuqi's sleeve like before.
Shen Xiuqi was originally frozen in place. Although his thoughts were different from An Yutong's, he was indeed shocked by An Yutong's sudden appearance. It was only because her sudden appearance disrupted his planned rhythm that he was temporarily stunned. However, the moment An Yutong was about to touch him, he immediately reacted. As if he was afraid of being infected by a virus, he subconsciously pulled back his hand and avoided An Yutong's hand that was about to pull his sleeve.
An Yutong's heart thumped. He didn't want her to touch him?!
After a short loss of self-control, Shen Xiuqi quickly recovered. He glanced at Xu Kai and An Yutong and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
There was a trace of impatience and irritation in his voice.
Xu Kai was too familiar with Shen Xiuqi. He was very surprised that Shen Xiuqi would have such emotions. However, he immediately thought that when An Yutong went abroad, she had a very unpleasant relationship with Shen Xiuqi. Now that An Yutong suddenly came back, it was inevitable that Shen Xiuqi would be unhappy. Besides, he already had a substitute by his side. It was said that they had a good relationship. He probably didn't expect the original owner to come back so suddenly, so he didn't know how to deal with this relationship in shock!
Xu Kai seemed to have figured it out. He quickly smiled and said, "Yutong just came back this afternoon. When she got off the plane, she bumped into me at the airport. She took my car back to the city. Yutong said in the car that she hadn't seen you for a long time and wanted to have a meal with you. She asked Ah Guang, Ah Ming and the others to come along. A few friends gathered together, so we came together."
Shen Xiuqi faintly said, "Mm." He seemed to know what was going on. However, his face was still expressionless, and his voice was very light. "But you came at the wrong time. I have something urgent to deal with. I'm in a hurry." He was still in a hurry to go to Mia to get the sapphire ring.
Hearing this, Xu Kai glanced at An Yutong. An Yutong also noticed that Shen Xiuqi was acting strangely, but she couldn't figure out why Shen Xiuqi was acting like this.
In fact, she had already learned from her sister, An Yuting, that Shen Xiuqi had found a body double that looked exactly like her. She heard that the body double looked exactly like her, and he also doted on her very much.
Since he doted on a body double so much, then wouldn't he dote on the original owner even more? It was also because of this that An Yutong thought of Shen Xiuqi's sincerity towards her in the past. That was why she had the confidence to take the plane back without saying goodbye. After she met Xu Kai, she pestered him to bring her to see Shen Xiuqi. Moreover, she even thought of an excuse. It was that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they should all get together!
But now, looking at Shen Xiuqi's reaction, this excuse was useless. Shen Xiuqi's performance was too cold. Instead of saying that he was busy and didn't have time, it was better to say that he didn't want to go with them at all. He was clearly looking for an excuse to refuse. This was very strange.
Shen Xiuqi wasn't willing to give her any face. This was completely different from what An Yutong had imagined. She had finally managed to grab hold of this opportunity with great difficulty to have Xu Kai bring her to the Shen family to find Shen Xiuqi. If she didn't succeed this time, she didn't know when there would be another opportunity like this.
An Yutong wasn't willing to let this opportunity slip away. She rolled her eyes and said, "Xiuqi, I've been abroad for so long, and I really miss all of you. This time, I came back, and it's rare to see everyone together, so I wanted to ask everyone out for a gathering. Since everyone is here, how can you not come? At least give me some face! "
These words were said by An Yutong with a smile. She felt that she really wanted everyone to get together, and there was no other intention.
"Xu Kai, Ah Guang, and Ah Ming are all coming. I've already made an appointment. How about you come and join us?" An Yutong added. She even elbowed Xu Kai, hinting for him to speak.
Xu Kai immediately understood and nodded, "Yes, we've already made an appointment. It's in the New Imperial City. You have to come no matter what."
Shen Xiuqi hesitated for a moment. Even if An Yutong wasn't mentioned, Xu Kai, Ah Guang, and Ah Ming were his childhood friends. Everyone was busy with their careers every day, and they didn't have much time to get together. Often, they couldn't make it if they wanted to. It had been a long time since everyone gathered together.
