Jie Lanyuan understood.

No wonder she repeatedly refused to divorce Shen Mingzhou when asked to do so.

It turns out there was no need for a divorce.

"Why would Shen Mingzhou do this?" Xie Lanyuan found it absurd, but the answer was already clear in his mind: "Is it because of Su Wanqing?"

"good."

Yan Xuxu told him the whole story.

Upon hearing the last part, Xie Lanyuan's handsome face darkened. He slammed his fist heavily on the mattress, his voice filled with barely concealed rage, "How dare he?"

She was a con artist who married him without telling anyone for five years.

They even asked her to be a pharmaceutical representative for Ming'an Group.

To appropriate medical books for one's own use.

It seems he was still too lenient with Shen Mingzhou!

"The ridiculous thing is that the Yan family was also involved in all of this." Yan Xuxu looked into his deep eyes and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Jie Lanyuan, I have no family left."

Seeing how fragile she looked, Xie Lanyuan felt a pang of heartache and hugged her tightly. "It's better to be without relatives like that. They don't deserve your sincere treatment."

"You're not alone, you still have me, I'm your family."

She had heard comforting words before, but hearing him say this now, all her strength crumbled at that moment. Yan Xuxu lost control and her eyes reddened. She looked up and kissed him again.

"Grandpa Shen has been using you all along. He doesn't mean to be nice to you at all; he's just using you to motivate Shen Mingzhou to strive harder."

"Even his concern and affection for me were feigned; all his elaborate schemes were for the sake of medical books!"

Her kisses, tinged with tears, were messy and haphazard, like a helpless little animal trying to find warmth.

Jie Lanyuan responded passionately, holding her tightly, his voice hoarse with emotion, "I know."

He had realized long ago that while Old Master Shen outwardly protected him, he secretly indulged Shen Mingzhou in bullying and humiliating him.

At the time, I was simply forced to stay home.

The Shen family had also adopted him.

In addition, Yan Xuxu is also in this city.

That's why he has been enduring humiliation and hardship all this time.

Yan Xuxu looked up at him with her wet eyes, her heart filled with shock. "So, you didn't want to come back all these years because you knew the truth?"

"Yes."

"Then why were you at the old house a while ago?"

Xie Lanyuan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his eyes overflowing with tenderness. "Because you're here."

Boom!

Yan Xuxu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her heart had been torn open, causing her excruciating pain. "I am not good enough for you now. Don't waste your time on me."

"But I can't live without you."

Jie Lanyuan pressed his nose against hers, lingeringly pecking at her lips, his husky voice filled with passion, "Zhizhi, I've waited for you for five years, please don't push me away again, okay?"

For the past five years, he has lived like a walking corpse.

I dedicate myself to my career so that I can become stronger.

He was so powerful that she couldn't live without him.

It also made her realize that he was no worse than that bastard Shen Mingzhou.

Therefore, he meticulously planned and lured her into the trap so that she could see Shen Mingzhou's true colors.

I was initially hesitant to force her because of her married status.

Now that she and Shen Mingzhou are no longer married, he doesn't want to put up with it anymore.

This woman belonged to him.

If it weren't for Shen Mingzhou taking advantage of her vulnerability and stealing her innocence...

She was already his wife!

They would not have suffered so many years of injustice for no reason.

"If you care about me so much, why did you have your men ply me with alcohol in the first place?"

Yan Xuxu began to interrogate him.

Jie Lanyuan looked completely clueless. "What do you mean by forcing someone to drink?"

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Yan Xuxu bit him angrily. She looked fierce but her coquettish expression made it seem like she was flirting. "Stop pretending with me. I've been dealing with your people for half a year. You won't agree to cooperate, and you keep embarrassing me."

Jie Lanyuan let her bite him, remaining motionless as if he felt no pain, and even chuckled indulgently, "I had no intention of cooperating with Ming'an Group, so why did I agree?"

"If I don't teach you a lesson, how will you back down given your temper?"

"As for getting you drunk, tell me which bastard did it, and I'll deal with him later."

His instruction was to find a way to get Yan Xuxu to give up the cooperation.

But this inferior method was not his intention.

Yan Xuxu continued to bite down hard until the taste of blood filled her mouth, then she loosened her teeth and sneered, "Without your orders, how dare they do this?"

"You have no idea, that project manager made me drink ten glasses of strong liquor."

Yan Xuxu could never forget the taste of those ten cups of strong liquor. Every sip burned her throat and stomach, and she even felt as if her internal organs were being corroded.

She vomited and then drank it again.

He drank it and then vomited.

But those people wouldn't let her go, forcing her to drink cup after cup.

If she hadn't taken hangover medication halfway through, who knows how badly she would have been tortured.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lanyuan's expression suddenly turned cold, his voice tinged with hostility, "Ten cups?"

"Yes, I can't remember wrong."

Yan Xuxu's attitude was very firm.

His mood worsened, and he immediately took out his phone and made a call: "Fire the project manager."

The other party was clearly stunned, and after a few seconds spoke: "Mr. Xie, what mistake did Lao Zhang make?"

"He has no self-awareness what kind of person he can't touch. This incompetent good-for-nothing has no right to stay in the Xie Group."

The other party understood, responded with "Yes," and immediately went to do it.

Jie Lanyuan put down his phone, hugged Yan Xuxu tightly again, and breathed warm air into her ear. "I've dealt with him. Are you satisfied, Zhizhi?"

Yan Xuxu said all this simply because she was angry, but she didn't expect Xie Lanyuan to fire her so easily.

She felt a slight heat from his breath, her body trembled, and she couldn't help but flinch away. Her soft voice was still angry, "She's your person too, so it's your responsibility if she makes a mistake."

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I didn't explain things clearly. As long as Zhizhi is happy, I'll let Zhizhi punish me as she pleases." He rubbed his chin against her neck.

As soon as he woke up, he went downstairs to prepare food. He didn't have time to tidy up, and after a night of rest, fine stubble appeared on his chin.

That slight touch is incredibly sharp.

Yan Xuxu felt both pain and itchiness, as if she had been electrocuted. She trembled and couldn't stop laughing. "Jie Lanyuan, let me go!"

"I won't let go until you forgive me."

He clung to her tightly, his passionate kisses brushing against her back.

Yan Xuxu tensed up in discomfort, her soft voice lacking any strength, "Go, and I won't hold this against you."

"Give me one more time, I've been hooked on it since just now."

His large, calloused hands caressed her smooth back. As he lifted her nightgown, a large expanse of snow-white skin came into view, revealing her alluring waist and hips with their curves perfectly shaped.

After last night's cholera outbreak, the surface was covered in red marks.

Jie Lanyuan lifted her up by the waist and placed her on his lap. Like an insatiable wolf, he kissed her lips, his voice infinitely seductive, "I'll leave after we're done."
