The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it on purpose."

Yao Yingxi sat bolt upright in bed with a start. She looked around blankly before realizing that she was in her own room. After yesterday's checkup showed no problems, she had begged Xi Yuanchen to help her with the discharge procedures.

She didn't like the soda water at the hospital because it was too strong.

Yao Yingxi got out of bed and went downstairs, where she saw Xi Yuanchen working in the living room.

Hearing footsteps, Xi Yuanchen looked up and saw Yao Yingxi coming down. A smile appeared on his lips. He put down his computer, got up from the sofa, and walked towards Yao Yingxi, saying, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Yao Yingxi looked up at the clock. It was 2:30 pm, and she had only slept for less than an hour and a half.

"Why aren't you at the company?" Ever since the car accident the day before yesterday, Xi Yuanchen seemed to be in a state of shock, and he had spent almost all of the past two days with Yao Yingxi.

Yao Yingxi didn't ask Liang Pingyin how she was doing, but she saw in the news that one person died and two were injured in the car accident.

"Yuanchen, let me discuss this with you." Yao Yingxi took Xi Yuanchen's hand.

Xi Yuanchen also said, "I also have something to say to you."

Yao Yingxi looked up at him: "Hmm? You go first."

"I'm going to a cocktail party tonight, do you want to come with me?" Although Xi Zhishen had warned him not to bring Yao Yingxi, Xi Yuanchen secretly wanted Yao Yingxi to accompany him.

Yao Yingxi paused, then looked at Xi Yuanchen: "That's it?"

Xi Yuanchen nodded. @$&

Yao Yingxi smiled and declined, "I won't go to the party. With this injury, I can't very well wear a hat. It would be impolite to others." Yao Yingxi pointed to the gauze wrapped around her head.

Xi Yuanchen hesitated.

"Next time, okay?"

Xi Yuanchen had no choice but to nod. After a long pause, he said, "It's your turn. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"I plan to go out this afternoon and go to school tomorrow."

"No." Xi Yuanchen refused without hesitation: "You have a head injury, you need to rest at home more."

"My injury is fine now. I've been lying in bed for days and my bones are about to give way. Just let me go to school. I'll talk to the professor and bring my cap with me, okay?" Seeing Xi Yuanchen's cold face, Yao Yingxi deliberately looked at him pitifully and shook his arm.

Xi Yuanchen hesitated.

Yao Yingxi quickly said, "I'm at school. I'll come back at noon to have lunch with you and take a nap with you. You'll take me to class in the afternoon. You haven't taken me to class much yet. You've been so busy lately that you haven't had time to talk to me." Yao Yingxi pointed to Xi Yuanchen's lack of time with her, feeling very aggrieved.

When the topic came up again, Yao Yingxi still felt a tightness in her chest.

A while ago, when she first entered school, she felt as excited as when she first started school as a child. She liked to share everything that happened at school with others.

When she was little, it was her mother; now she wants to do everything with Xi Yuanchen.

Perhaps, subconsciously, she regarded Xi Yuanchen as family, a family she could rely on.

Xi Yuanchen sighed: "Go, go, go, I promise you I'll go, okay?"

"That's wonderful, I love you so much." Overjoyed, Yao Yingxi hugged Xi Yuanchen's neck and kissed her lips.

Xi Yuanchen was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and took the initiative, reaching out to hold the back of Yao Yingxi's head and deepening the kiss.

Xi Yuanchen originally planned to just give her a light kiss and leave, but the two kissed so passionately that they ended up having sex on the sofa.

Xi Yuanchen looked down at Yao Yingxi, who was convulsing and trembling beneath him, her face flushed and on the verge of death. Her expression was fragile, and her usually cool and aloof face was now as beautiful as a rose blooming in the height of summer.

"No more, no more," Yao Yingxi's voice trembled with tears as she clung to Xi Yuanchen's back. With each thrust, she gripped his back tightly.

As night falls, darkness descends upon the sky, and the sunset paints the entire sky red.

Xi Yuanchen came out of the bathroom, dressed in a suit and tie. Seeing the person sleeping on the bed, his heart softened.

He touched up some perfume, and when he was about to leave, he walked to the bedside, bent down and kissed Yao Yingxi's face, covered her with the blanket, adjusted the air conditioner, and then went out on his own.

The cocktail party was held at the YULA Hotel.

Anan drove the car, which was parked in front of the hotel. A bartender ran over from a distance and opened the car door for Xi Yuanchen.

The first shoes to land were so shiny that they reflected the wearer's shadow under the lights. Xi Yuanchen stood beside the car, attracting the attention of countless people from afar.

He has always been a favored son of the emperor, attracting attention wherever he goes, but Xi Yuanchen didn't care, or perhaps it was as if he had never seen him.

Anan got out of the car and followed behind Xi Yuanchen. When the host of the party heard that Xi Yuanchen was coming, he rushed out of the hotel.

"Mr. Xi, what a rare guest! Miss Yao has already arrived and is inside."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yuanchen was taken aback. When he left, he saw Yao Yingxi lying on the bed. Even if Yao Yingxi came, it would take time for her to put on makeup and change clothes. How could she possibly arrive before him?

Anan was taken aback. When he went to pick up the boss downstairs at the apartment building, the boss said that Miss Yao was not feeling well and was resting?

If Miss Yao wants to come over, she doesn't need to lie, and besides, Yao Yingxi isn't that kind of person.

Xi Yuanchen and Anan behind him both looked confused.

The organizer chuckled, "Could I have mistaken you for someone else?" He had seen Yao Yingxi before. When he saw her inside earlier, he thought Xi Yuanchen had also come over. He was about to go over and say hello when he heard someone say that Xi Yuanchen was at the door.

He thought Yao Yingxi and Xi Yuanchen were having a fight; after all, every lover has their little temper.

"Mr. Liao, you must be mistaken. Our Miss Yao is still resting at home. You saw the news a few days ago; our Miss Yao was injured and it's inconvenient for her to come over," Anan said, trying to smooth things over, assuming that someone might have had plastic surgery to look like Yao Yingxi.

Cosmetic surgery is all the rage lately, with internet celebrities even getting procedures done to resemble stars.

It's likely that the person who had the same surgery as Yao Yingxi was attracted by how good Xi Yuanchen was to Yao Yingxi.

"That's it. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Xi, I almost mistook Miss Yao for someone else." Mr. Liao gestured for her to enter.

"It's alright, after all, you don't understand." Xi Yuanchen said casually, then walked in, not taking it to heart.

The cocktail party was held on the fourth floor, but the lobby on the first floor was also decorated.

Xi Yuanchen and Anan were in the elevator. Anan noticed that Xi Yuanchen had a cold expression and assumed that it was because of what President Liao had just said that made Xi Yuanchen suspicious.

He spoke up: "Boss, that President Liao must have mistaken you for someone else. Although I don't see Miss Yao often, I know her personality. She wouldn't come here alone."

Xi Yuanchen nodded.

Anan continued, "Maybe someone saw Miss Yao, took a picture of her, and then had plastic surgery to look like her. Isn't plastic surgery all the rage lately?"

"No need to say anything, I know it's not Yingxi." Xi Yuanchen said indifferently to stop him.

Anan clicked his tongue, standing behind Xi Yuanchen, not daring to say anything more.
