Seeing as Astrid and Charlie’s story starts happening in China Rich Girlfriend, it was expected that the sequel would focus on them as well as Nick and Rachel. Isabel isn’t too thrilled about her ex-husband’s new flame and decides to team up with Astrid’s ex Michael to ruin their relationship. It’s revealed that Charlie was previously married to Isabel Wu, with whom he shares a daughter. This is where the drama truly unfolds for the couple. It isn’t until the last book of the trilogy, Rich People Problems, that Astrid and Charlie’s relationship is fully explored. Unlike the first film, Astrid and Michael’s marriage lasts a lot longer before they divorce due to Michael’s affair. In the books, Astrid and Charle don’t rekindle their relationship until the end of China Rich Girlfriend.

However, the couple was forced to break it off due to Astrid’s parents not approving of their love match. Before Astrid met Michael Teo (Pierre Png), she was engaged to Charlie during their university years.
