CEO's Substitute Bride

She aimlessly walked down the street, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the night market. Summer felt like she was really a foodie, no matter if she was happy or not, she would always want to eat.    

    

But —    

    

What happened to Pei Yichen, who was sitting on a stool in front of the stinky tofu stall?    

    

Their gazes met, and they could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.    

    

"Why are you here?"    

    

He knew that today's summer day had gone to the Lin Family, which was why he came here alone.    

    

Pei Yichen raised his eyebrows and put down the stick that he used to pick up the stinky tofu. He stared fixedly at the summer and his eyes lit up a little.    

    

When Summer saw this scene, she wanted to laugh. The scene of a handsome man in a 1.8 meter long suit eating stinky tofu by the side of the road was too inappropriate. She kept feeling that he was a silly little brother who had walked on the wrong set of movies.    

    

This kind of soft and cute abstinence wind was really powerful. Seeing her son's face that was 99% similar to hers, she couldn't help but want to pinch him.    

    

"Come here."    

    

Pei Yichen curled his fingers towards Xia Zhi and curled his lips. After hesitating for a moment, he walked over and sat down beside him.    

    

"How do you think it is such a coincidence that we met here?"    

    

He smiled in the summer. Today was truly a 'fortuitous encounter'.    

    

Pei Yichen curled his lips, "There's an ancient saying in China called 'the heart is the same.' This is probably the situation we are in."    

    

After Xia heard his words, she couldn't help but twitch her mouth, "There's an old saying in China, where enemies meet on narrow roads. I think we should be in the second situation, right?"    

    

"There is also an ancient saying that goes' fate brings you together for a thousand miles'. Since you've met me here, it must be fate."    

    

Pei Yichen pushed the bowl of stinky tofu in front of him to the side, while he looked more satisfied.    

    

Xia Zhi curled his lips, "There's also an ancient saying, it's called 'evil fate'!"    

    

Although he was still denying it, his hand did not hold back as he picked up the stick and stuffed the stinky tofu into his mouth.    

    

En, the stinky tofu filled with soup was quite delicious!    

    

Summer contentedly smacked her lips. Looking at the disposable box at the bottom, she licked the corner of her lips and drank the cold soup without any regard for her image.    

    

After exterminating it, he revealed a satisfied smile. This was indeed a delicacy that could not be disappointed!    

    

Pei Yichen took out a tissue from the box on the side and handed it to Xia Zhi, "Wipe your mouth clean, you accidentally exposed yourself completely!"    

    

Summer smacked her lips and savored the taste. It was delicious, stinky tofu was indeed delicious. However, she couldn't eat too much or else she would feel that she could eat two servings of tofu.    

    

"Thanks, I'll treat you next time!"    

    

Summer took it and wiped her mouth. She was originally in a bad mood, but after meeting Pei Yichen and eating a stinky tofu, she inexplicably felt much better. Humans are really strange animals.    

    

Pei Yichen raised his eyebrows, "There's no need for another round. Let's do it today."    

    

Xia Tian speechlessly rolled his eyes. Damn, he really doesn't know how to be polite. For him to let her treat him so straightforwardly, is this man really the domineering CEO of a hundred million yuan?    

    

A hoodlum was more like that!    

    

But today, she wasn't in the mood to care about these trivial matters. She just so happened to need someone to accompany her while she ate and drank in order to dispel the gloom in her heart.    

    

"At a roadside stall, right?"    

    

When he got up in the summer, there were many people on the food street, but it was not suitable for him to stay for a long period of time.    

    

"Alright."    

    

Pei Yichen was easy to talk and made Xia Xia feel like she was dreaming. She couldn't help but wonder if Pei Yichen was under some kind of spell recently, but as long as he didn't make things difficult for her, she had nothing to say.    

    

Summer shrugged and they walked out together.    

    

Although the summer had not been here for many years, but at least it had been lively in the past, so finding a stall with good taste was still rather interesting.    

    

In the late autumn weather, the business of the roadside stall wasn't as good as it was in midsummer. Thus, everyone sat in a rather open position, so as to be a bit more at ease.    

    

After sitting down with Pei Yichen in the summer, the Lady Boss immediately brought over the menu. In the summer, she heroically ordered fifty kebabs, various kebabs, and even added a change to it. Spicy prawn tail, a bunch of beer.    

    

Pei Yichen's mouth twitched. As someone who has been supporting light and light foods all year round, he would only occasionally eat stinky tofu. Being hot and spicy was truly a challenge, but when he saw how excited he was during the summer, he really couldn't bear to take the blow and could only choose to play around with her.    

    

"Did you suffer any grievances today at the Lin Family?"    

    

Pei Yichen's voice had a gentleness that could not be understood in summer. He blinked his eyes in summer and felt that Pei Yichen was the star that he had once imagined.    

    

She had imagined countless times just what it would be like when she met the 'star'. She wondered if he was as aloof as he was before, but would give her a gentle smile.    

    

It was just that she didn't expect that what she faced with with her excited mood was the scene of him holding hands with another woman.    

    

He just didn't expect that when she cried and called him "summer", he would immediately deny it.    

    

Now that he didn't trust them anymore, what was he supposed to do now that he had done such fake things?    

    

"Pei Yichen, when you find out the truth one day, do you hate it?"    

    

After three cups of wine, Xia Chen felt a little unclear. She looked at Pei Yichen, who was drinking two or three cups of wine, and giggled. The mood of a person was really complicated.    

    

Pei Yichen frowned. This silly girl had already made him into this after a short while.    

    

"You're drunk, I'll take you back first."    

    

Pei Yichen took the wine cup from her hand and put it on the table. Then, he stood up and helped her up.    

    

"This lady has arrived in the Immortal Wine Palace. Draining water from a knife is much more efficient. Drink this cup of wine and let the oxen leave."    

    

Summer pushed Pei Yichen away, not letting him near her, "Bastard, you want to hurt me, see if I let Pei Yichen chop you to death!"    

    

Pei Yichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did this woman subconsciously think of him as the emperor and herself as the empress?    

    

Pei Yichen felt it was funny. He used to think that this woman would immediately fall asleep after getting drunk. He didn't expect her to have such a cute side.    

    

Drinking like a madman, this was simply a common occurrence.    

    

"Fifty strings for no reason, a string for a year, I'm so tired when I become your Charon, where is my Charon?"    

    

As he spoke, summer had begun to shed tears. He crouched down on the ground and wrapped his arms around his knees, burying his face in them.    

    

Pei Yichen was a bit shocked. What he heard in the summer confused him a little.    

    

"Who are you in the summer?"    

    

Pei Yichen frowned. Ever since they met again in the summer in the Sand River town, he had always had this suspicion. Who exactly was she?    

    

In his eyes, she was his wife from five years ago. She was Ning Xia, and she was also the Summer he was now pursuing. It was summer, but why did he feel that things weren't as simple as he thought?    

    

It was just that he had never wanted to investigate it in depth. He thought that as long as she was by his side, more important than all the intangible truths, he would not care about anything else except the summer.    

    

But at this moment, facing the unconscious words from the summer wine, he wanted to properly investigate.    

    

He even had a premonition that the biggest problem between him and the summer was here.    

    

"Good girl, from now on, I am your Charon."    

    

Pei Yichen held Xia Xia in his arms as she wiped away his tears and mucus on his good suit.    

    

Many times, once a person's emotions had an outlet, they wouldn't be able to stabilize themselves in the shortest amount of time. Instead, they would completely collapse, and their tears would gush out, violently and presumptuously.    

    

Summer only felt her head grow dizzy and she could not say anything except that she wanted to cry.    

    

She felt that her mind was clear. At least she knew who the people around her were, or at least she knew that she couldn't speak carelessly. However, the more she knew, the more upset she felt.    

    

"Chen, why don't you believe me? "Wuuu …."    

    

She was like a child whose candy was taken away. The summer mood came really quickly, so Pei Yichen didn't even have time to think. She just hung on Pei Yichen like an octopus.    

    

"Let go of me, I'll settle my account first."    

    

He said that someone was going to treat him, but the moment he turned around, he got drunk and escaped the ticket. This was a very nasty and shameful thing to do.    

    

However, he was truly helpless in summer to put on such a roguish attitude.    

    

The Lady Boss helplessly smiled. "You two little ones, are you in trouble?" "Little handsome brother, don't always keep a straight face. This husband and wife are quarreling at the head of the bed, it won't even take a few days for them to settle things. They will properly coax their wives."    

    

Pei Yichen nodded slightly. After settling the bill, he left with the woman on his body. They could easily be treated as jokes in the open air.    

    

He was the boss of a company, yet he was being watched here. That scene made it hard for him to accept.    

    

Pei Yichen sobbed in Pei Yichen's arms as he carried the girl towards the parking lot.    

    

Along the way, many people who heard the crying couldn't help but look in their direction. It was just that Pei Yichen's cold aura was too powerful, they had no choice but to turn around and pretend that they didn't see anything after a glance.    

    

Summer didn't drink often, although the alcohol was easy to get drunk, but overall it was still good. Although it would cry and make a ruckus, it wouldn't take more than 20 minutes before he fell asleep.    

    

When Pei Yichen put Summer in the car, Summer turned her face a few times, made a few sobs in her throat, and then went back to sleep.    

    

Pei Yichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the woman curled up like a kitten in the backseat.    

    

However, when he thought about her abnormal behavior today, he still quickly took out his phone and sent a message: Check out what happened today in Lin Family during the summer.    

    

Pei Yichen drove the car back during the summer. Along the way, he was indulging in random thoughts about the summer.    

    

She asked herself why she didn't believe her. He asked himself, it seemed that he had never doubted this woman. No matter what she said or did, he would always believe her.    

    

If he really said that they had misunderstood each other before, that would only be five years ago. However, everything that happened five years ago was not something that could be said unilaterally and clearly.    

    

Five years ago, five years ago …    

    

Pei Yichen felt like there was a ball of fog in his heart. In this ball of fog, there was something he always wanted to know, but he could only see the white fog and not the truth.    

    

"You fool, what do you want me to do in order to tell me the truth?"    

    

Pei Yichen looked at the woman curled up in the rearview mirror and sighed helplessly. He turned on the heating function of the seat, so that he could sleep more comfortably during the summer.    

    

On the surface, the matter between them appeared to be nothing. However, if one were to deeply investigate it, it would be extremely complicated.    

    

Pei Yichen was willing to give the summer enough time for her to accept herself again, accept the misunderstanding and the past between them.    

    

Xia Xiaoye and Xia Xiaomi won the award today at the kindergarten, so Xia Xiaomi pestered Leaves to call Mommy to tell her the good news.    

    

However, their phone was muted during the summer. Once they were drunk, they would no longer be able to pick up their calls. This time, the three of them stared at each other and frowned.    

    

"Mom, could there be something else?"    

    

Little Mi's childish face was tense, showing a worried expression.    

    

Hearing Xiao Mi's words, Leaves couldn't help but shiver. In an instant, countless bad thoughts rushed into her mind, she was worried that something bad might happen to her when she went to Lin Family today!    

    

"We'd better go and see. Mom's not the one who doesn't answer our calls."    

    

Xia Xiaoye's face was sullen. Xiaomi had already made more than a dozen phone calls, but their mother did not answer any of them. How could they be at ease? Their mother had never refused their calls like this before.    

    

"I have the key over there. I'll bring you guys over to take a look, but you have to be obedient. If you encounter any bad guys, you have to protect yourself first before you can save Mom, okay?"    

    

Ye Zichen took out a key from the bedside cabinet. Thinking about how Pei Yichen was also on the first floor in the summer, Ye Zichen was extremely unsure.    

    

However, the situation in the summer was clearly complicated. If she didn't go and take a look, there would be some worry. If she left the child at home, she wouldn't be able to rest easy, and the children wouldn't agree. So the best method was to bring the three of them with her.    

    

Xiao Mi and Xiaoye were worried about their mother. Once Ye Wen finished speaking, he split up and dressed neatly. His speed was comparable to that of an annihilation squad. Ye Wei was stunned. He pulled a jacket over his head and led the children out the door.    

    

It was a late autumn night, and it was a bit chilly. Leaves brought the two children to the summer room and pressed the button for the elevator, then anxiously waited for it to come up.    

    

Ding dong. The elevator door opened, but the body of Xia Xia's suddenly stretched taut …
