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

Yan Xuxu was trying to figure out what Xie Lanyuan's last look meant when a WeChat message came in on her phone.

Upon opening it, her face turned deathly pale.

[Do you like Shen Mingzhou that much? So much that you'd be a third wheel between him and your lover?]

Yan Xuxu gripped her phone so tightly that she saw the screen flicker several times.

She didn't care that Shen Mingzhou flirted with Su Wanqing in front of her.

But he just couldn't stand Lan Yuan's tone!

"Yes, I love him to death, so much so that I can forgive any of his mistakes!" She pounded her phone, as if the screen showed Xie Lanyuan's face and she wanted to smash it to pieces.

The other party didn't hold back, replying, "If you love him so much, just give him the medical book. What's the point of taking it back?"

"None of your business!"

She would never have cooperated with Xie Lanyuan if there were better candidates available.

That man has such a terrible temper!

She'd had enough!

"Xuxu, who are you chatting with?"

A familiar voice came from above. Yan Xuxu looked up and saw that Shen Mingzhou and Su Wanqing had returned. She immediately locked her phone.

Then, Su Wanqing asked, "By the way, Xuxu, you've been dealing with the Xie family for so long, have you seen Xie Lanyuan?"

I was almost able to see what Xie Lanyuan looked like.

It was all that damned Mu Nan's sudden appearance that ruined her plans.

However, even though it was just a back view, she could still tell that this unapproachable young master had a very good body proportion, with a wide waist and narrow hips, and was even taller and more imposing than Shen Mingzhou.

With a physique comparable to that of an international male model, his looks must be pretty good too.

Yan Xuxu waved her phone. "I've never seen him. I was always handed over to his assistant."

Clearly, Xie Lanyuan had no intention of showing himself in front of Shen Mingzhou.

Furthermore, exposing Jie Lanyuan would not benefit her either.

It might even affect her plans.

Even if she knew, she could only pretend not to know.

"How could Xuxu possibly have met someone of Mr. Xie's status?"

Shen Mingzhou sat down again, turned to look at the black Rolls-Royce that had already left, and became even more certain that what he had just seen was just an illusion.

Su Wanqing thought about it and agreed.

Even Shen Mingzhou had never met Xie Lanyuan, so Yan Xuxu, a mere pharmaceutical representative, had even less chance of having the opportunity to meet him.

It's okay.

Anyway, the birthday banquet is only in a few days.

Why don't you go to the site and find out?

After the meal, Yan Xuxu used the excuse of having to go to the Xie family to report on her work, and did not return to the company with Shen Mingzhou and the others.

Upon arriving at the research institute, she immediately immersed herself in the laboratory.

As evening fell, she took a break to drink some water and glanced at her phone, only to find that Jie Lanyuan had replied to her message.

There are no words.

There was only one mocking expression.

Frustrated, Yan Xuxu threw her phone aside and drank large gulps of water to relieve her pent-up anger.

Lin Huan arrived at this moment.

I happened to see her throwing her phone and asked, amused, "What's wrong?"

"It's alright. Have you got any leads from the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

Several days have passed, and she still hasn't found any information about the person she registered her marriage with. Yan Xuxu is getting a little anxious.

Lin Huan leaned against the wall with her and shrugged. "It's a bit tricky. If we really can't crack it, we'll have to find an even more skilled codebreaker."

Yan Xuxu frowned and shook her water glass.

It seems that Shen Mingzhou went to great lengths to deceive everyone.

She could no longer sit idly by and wait for her fate.

The next day at the company, Yan Xuxu began to observe the men around her.

Having been with Shen Mingzhou for five years, she didn't fully understand him, but she had a general understanding of his temperament.

Shen Mingzhou is extremely shrewd and suspicious.

Therefore, Yan Xuxu guessed that the man she married was definitely someone Shen Mingzhou could control.

He is either one of his confidants.

They are either his subordinates.

She identified several targets and had Lin Huan investigate their marital status, all of whom turned out to be unmarried.

She also tried to test the other party, but the other party always appeared flawless, and Yan Xuxu couldn't find any flaws.

After several days of this, they still came up empty-handed, but instead, they were greeted with the birthday banquet for the old lady.

That afternoon, Yan Xuxu received an evening gown and a set of valuable jewelry from Xie Lanyuan.

Mu Nan relayed the message: "Miss Yan, President Xie said he's worried that President Shen might be too busy with his mistress to care about you. He doesn't want you to embarrass him, given the grand birthday banquet."

Yan Xuxu smiled and stuffed the gift back into Mu Nan's hand, gritting her teeth as she said, "I can't accept such an expensive gift."

"Oh, by the way, could you also please pass on a message for me, Assistant Mu?"

Mu Nan gestured for her to speak.

Yan Xuxu waved her finger and smiled innocently, "Tell President Xie that my husband has already prepared it for me, so he doesn't need to worry about it."

Since the dress hadn't been delivered, Mu Nan had no choice but to take it back to report.

Yan Xuxu didn't care what Lan Yuan would do. After finishing her work, she changed into the dress she had prepared in advance, put on exquisite makeup, and stood in front of the mirror to examine herself.

She has naturally fair skin, and even without makeup, she far surpasses those women who wear heavy makeup. In addition, her tall figure and the off-white tulle waist-cinching evening gown accentuate her gentle and elegant demeanor, making her temperament as refined as a chrysanthemum.

Even Lin Huan couldn't help but praise her, "So beautiful, you are definitely the most dazzling focus of the whole place tonight."

Yan Xuxu smiled and said, "It's because you have good taste in dresses."

Having been in the Shen family for so many years, she has had very few opportunities to attend such occasions.

Shen Mingzhou always brought Su Wanqing with him to business events.

The reasons were exactly the same—Su Wanqing was the director of the R&D department, skilled in research, and suitable to accompany him in dealing with clients.

As "Mrs. Shen," even when she had the opportunity to attend events together, she would always follow behind without being able to speak.

Previously, she only wanted to help Shen Mingzhou's career and didn't pay much attention to it.

It's ironic now that I think about it.

"That's because you're beautiful; you look good in anything."

Lin Huan showered him with compliments, then asked, "Do you need me to give you a ride?"

Yan Xuxu knew she was busy, so she waved her hand and said, "No need, I can go by myself."

"Call me anytime if you need anything."

"it is good."

Yan Xuxu picked up her handbag and turned around.

She had just stepped out of the research institute when she heard a car horn behind her. She instinctively turned around and saw a black Rolls-Royce stop beside her.

"Miss Yan." The car window rolled down, and Mu Nan leaned out.

Yan Xuxu subconsciously looked towards the back seat.

It's completely blackout glass; you can't see anything.

Yan Xuxu assumed Xie Lanyuan was inside and tried to leave, but Mu Nan called out to her first, "President Xie has a meeting, so he asked me to take you there first. He'll be there shortly."

With Jie Lanyuan gone, Yan Xuxu got into the car without any worries.

Mu Nan is not a talkative person.

The two remained silent the entire way.

Upon arriving at the banquet venue, Yan Xuxu opened the car door and got out, only to hear someone calling her name.

Looking up, I saw Shen Mingzhou and Su Wanqing.

Shen Mingzhou wore a navy blue suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, exuding a powerful aura.

As for Su Wanqing, she wore a red lace evening gown, her long, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, and eight-centimeter high heels. Her glamorous makeup made her look sexy and alluring.

But why does this dress look so familiar?

Yan Xuxu was trying to remember where she had seen him before when she heard Shen Mingzhou question her, "Why did you follow me? Didn't I tell you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark gray Bugatti sped past Shen Mingzhou at an extremely high speed, forcing him to pause in his tracks.

The car door slowly opened, and a powerful aura rushed out. As a pair of long legs landed, a tall and handsome man stepped out of the car.

Upon seeing that familiar face, Shen Mingzhou froze on the spot, his pupils showing visible panic and disbelief.

How could this be!

It's him!
