Chapter 107: How’s Your Relationship with Chen Xiuqi? (1)

“Do you have a good relationship with Chen Xiuqi?” Xu Chaoran raised a brow.

Su Yaya glanced at him. She wasn’t too happy with this question and responded, “That’s my personal business.” Implying that he had no right no ask this question.

Xu Chaoran chuckled and then said, “Has anyone ever told you that you actually look just like a certain someone?”

Su Yaya blinked. He sounds like he might know quite a bit!

“And so what if I do?” Su Yaya smiled with indifference.

Xu Chaoran observed her reaction and curled up the corners of his lips. “Doesn’t it bother you? You’re clearly...”

He nearly let slip that she was An Yutong’s substitute.

This time, it was Su Yaya’s turn to laugh. The smile on her face was dazzling as if she had no worries at all. She said, “What’s there to bother me? And why do you think it would anyway? The person next to him right now is me!”

Xu Chaoran revealed a look of surprise on his handsome face. He looked at her in amazement. “You know about it? You actually do?”

Su Yaya shrugged and said indifferently, “Of course I do. I’ve known long ago. Also, you’re not the first person to say that in front of me. An Yuting has already come to me with that a long time ago. It’s not like I’m an idiot either, why wouldn’t I know?”

What’s more, she had also read the original book. Also, she heard it herself when she was sleeping in the resting room that day. An Yuting said that she was just a substitute, and she knew that very clearly.

Xu Chaoran paused. Then, he nodded before responding softly, “So that’s how it is...”

“Since you know, isn’t it time for you to leave?” Su Yaya dismissed him with a straight face.

She was still wondering in the past why Xu Chaoran would be so close to her. The two of them clearly didn’t know each other, nor did they have any connections in the past. The only thing that connected them was the “Flourishing Willow in the Palace” film project that they both took on. However, he showed more enthusiasm towards her than anyone else, and even showed much care and concern toward her, nor did he care about the warm feeling of her body against his. He also took the initiative to call her his apprentice sister and announced it on Weibo.

If you called each other apprentice sisters and brothers just because you work in the same company, then who knows how many apprentice sisters and brothers Xu Chaoran had? Just with that reason alone, this already makes no sense. Su Yaya had also been doubtful about Xu Chaoran’s motives. What’s more, Chen Xiuqi had even called just to warn her to stay away from him.

She used to not understand, but now, after linking it with the past, and also what Xu Chaoran had just told her, what else could she not understand?

Xu Chaoran must have known Chen Xiuqi, An Yutong, and An Yuting since a while back. Otherwise, how did he know so much about them?

Then, Su Yaya realized that Chen Xiuqi must have his guard up against him if he had to call and tell her to stay away from Xu Chaoran. But why? Was he worried that Xu Chaoran would tell her what she just said earlier?

Obviously not. In order to get the inheritance, Chen Xiuqi agreed to marry the original owner of this body, and the owner also more or less knew that the relationship between the two of them were not as simple as just boyfriend-girlfriend. She had already heard a long time back that she was only a substitute.

So if that’s not the reason, then why?

Su Yaya thought about it and a courageous thought sprang up in her mind. Could it be that Chen Xiuqi asked her to stay away from him because he was worried that Xu Chaoranw ould harm her?

No way!

As soon as this thought emerge, even Su Yaya herself was shocked!
