Was the man a scumbag who tricked her into marriage? A powerful man brought his child to her door de

Shen Mingzhou initially refused when he heard that Su Wanqing would also be having dinner together.

As the name suggests, I want to spend some time alone with her.

Yan Xuxu felt a churning in her stomach, but she held it in.

"Wanqing is my friend, it's nothing to have dinner together." She spoke casually, but her gaze towards him held a deeper meaning. "Besides, you two are often together, aren't you?"

Shen Mingzhou's fingers trembled slightly as he held the coffee cup, a hint of panic flashing across his face. He then tried to remain calm and said, "Don't misunderstand, I was only talking about work with her."

"Of course I know, why are you so nervous?" Yan Xuxu chuckled and handed him a tissue. "Look how scared you are, you're all sweating."

Shen Mingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and coaxed gently, "I was just afraid you would overthink things and misunderstand that there was something between me and her, and then get angry with me."

Am I the kind of petty person?

She was so generous that she even gave up her man.

Why would they care about what's between them?

As she spoke, she casually leaned against the desk, her palms resting on the corner of the desk, when she was accidentally pricked by something.

Turning my head, I saw that it was an invitation from the Xie family.

Shen Mingzhou explained matter-of-factly, "In a few days it will be Madam Xie's 80th birthday banquet, and many big names in the scientific research community will be attending, so I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Xuxu interrupted him with a smile, "I don't know anything about research, you take Wanqing instead."

She was just too understanding. A sudden pang of guilt swept through Shen Mingzhou's heart.

He stood up, walked around the table to her side, took her hand and said with emotion, "My wife is gentle and considerate, she never makes things difficult for me. It is truly my blessing to have married you."

Yan Xuxu felt a chill and was about to pull away when Su Wanqing came over to urge her.

Shen Mingzhou released her hand, patted her head again, and smiled gently. "I'll go get the car first. You guys wait for me at the main gate."

After saying that, he turned and left the office.

Yan Xuxu and Su Wanqing followed behind as they went downstairs. Just as they stepped out of the lobby, a dark gray Maybach stopped right in front of them.

Su Wanqing opened the passenger door first, as if asking for her opinion, "Xuxu, this is a more convenient place to talk about work. May I sit here?"

As it happened, Yan Xuxu didn't plan to sit in the front either, so she nodded.

Su Wanqing got into the car triumphantly, proudly showing off her research abilities, talking about new technologies the whole way.

Yan Xuxu listened to everything, then pretended not to understand and yawned, which made Su Wanqing look down on her even more.

There was a traffic light ahead, and the car slowly came to a stop. Su Wanqing reached out and gently touched Shen Mingzhou's fingertips.

Shen Mingzhou was surprised by her boldness. His expression changed slightly. He looked at the rearview mirror and saw that Yan Xuxu had her eyes closed. He breathed a sigh of relief and gave Su Wanqing a warning look not to mess around.

Yan Xuxu was pretending to be asleep.

When I slightly lifted my eyelids, I had already seen this scene.

But she kept her eyes closed, not caring that they would get dirty.

Ignoring the advice, Su Wanqing became even bolder, climbing her hand up Shen Mingzhou's thigh and pinching it lightly.

Shen Mingzhou couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Yan Xuxu was truly glad she hadn't sat in the passenger seat.

She was still here, and the two of them were doing it so openly.

It's easy to imagine how much fun they had in the car during their time alone together.

But what can we do about it?

They are a married couple in the truest sense.

Having an affair is not illegal.

It can only be called a romantic gesture between husband and wife.

Yan Xuxu pretended to be asleep all the way to the restaurant entrance before opening her eyes. She ignored the noise she made along the way, which was quite loud.

Fortunately, she didn't suffer any losses either, as she learned a lot of confidential clues about new technologies from Su Wanqing.

The information Xiao An provided for her was incomplete.

Yan Xuxu knew right away that Shen Mingzhou was wary of everyone except Su Wanqing.

So, to find out these secrets, she had to endure the disgust and stay with these two.

Perhaps wanting to enjoy her husband's exclusive service, Su Wanqing ordered a large amount of seafood and even grabbed a crab and put it on Yan Xuxu's plate, saying to herself, "Xuxu, try this, the crabs are so delicious this season."

Yan Xuxu paused for a moment, then feigned helplessness and said, "I don't eat seafood."

Su Wanqing quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot."

Actually, she always knew it was intentional; she did it on purpose.

After saying that, she sighed again, "I love to eat it, but unfortunately I don't know how to peel it. Xuxu, can I ask Mr. Shen for help?"

Yan Xuxu made a casual gesture towards her.

With Yan Xuxu's permission, Shen Mingzhou picked up the three-piece crab-peeling kit, grabbed a crab with his other hand, and skillfully began to peel the crab meat.

Yan Xuxu enjoyed that patient and gentle demeanor for five years.

But when was it ever genuine?

She didn't have much of an appetite and was just about to find an excuse to leave when suddenly a voice called "President Jie" came from upstairs. Then, several middle-aged men in suits came down the stairs surrounding a man.

Her pupils constricted, and she froze in her motion of pushing the chair away.

The man wore a black shirt with his suit jacket casually draped over his arm, exuding both casualness and authority, making him stand out among the crowd.

As he walked, he chatted with the person next to him about something.

Although they were separated by distance, the aura emanating from him, a result of years of navigating the power and money struggles, still made Yan Xuxu feel somewhat suffocated.

It's unclear whether he saw them or not, but his gaze suddenly swept in their direction.

Yan Xuxu turned her head subconsciously.

Shen Mingzhou immediately put down his tools and stood up hurriedly, "President Xie is also eating here. I'll go over and say hello. You guys eat first."

He got up quickly and strode after them.

Curious about Xie Lanyuan's appearance, Su Wanqing followed him away.

Seeing the two of them walking so hurriedly, Yan Xuxu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Just as they were hesitating whether to inform Jie Lanyuan, they saw Mu Nan rush over and block Shen Mingzhou and Su Wanqing's way, while Jie Lanyuan and a group of people walked quickly toward the restaurant entrance.

Before stepping out the door, Jie Lanyuan turned his head and glanced at her again.

Just then, Yan Xuxu looked up and their eyes met.

Her heart skipped a beat as she clearly caught the curve of his lips and the undisguised mockery on his face.

In just a moment, the man withdrew his gaze and quickly left.

Shen Mingzhou frowned.

Why did he feel that President Jie's figure was somewhat similar to Shen Mohan's?

But Shen Mohan disappeared five years ago.

Shen Mingzhou thought he must be seeing things. Shen Mohan was an orphan, and it was the Shen family who kindly adopted him and allowed him to live a comfortable life for a few years. How could he possibly be related to that unapproachable CEO Xie?

"President Shen."

At this moment, Mu Nan's voice came through with a warning tone, "President Xie doesn't like strangers getting close. If this happens again, Ming'an Group will no longer be a partner!"
