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

Due to the hangover and the effects of the medication, Yan Xuxu slept until noon the next day.

Even so, her head was still too heavy to lift.

She had been working on this project for over half a year, but the other party was still unwilling to cooperate.

She thought that after drinking so much, the other party would at least consider it, but she was surprised to be told that "Ming An Group is not qualified enough".

They even arranged this play, having her catch Shen Mingzhou cheating.

Yan Xuxu really didn't understand what Ming'an Group had done to offend the other party, nor could she figure out what the other party's purpose was in doing this.

She slept with her makeup on until now, and her whole face felt very uncomfortable.

Yan Xuxu went into the bathroom to wash up. When she looked up, she saw herself in the mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was pale, like a demon that had just crawled out of hell.

In that instant, she realized how disheveled she looked!

She tortured herself to the point of being unrecognizable for the sake of a scumbag!

But she clearly didn't do anything wrong!

Why was she the one who got hurt?

It's been five years!

It's time to wake up!

After washing her face, Yan Xuxu put on makeup to cover up her unpleasant complexion before turning around and going to the living room to get a drink of water.

She drank so much last night that her throat is still completely dry and hoarse.

She drank two large glasses of warm water in one go.

Shen Mingzhou returned at this time.

She was also holding a large bouquet of red roses, a total of 99.

He still had a gentle smile on his face, changed his shoes and walked towards her, "You worked hard last night, my wife. This bouquet of flowers is for you."

The petals were a bit wilted, clearly indicating that they had been sitting there for some time.

Yan Xuxu sneered inwardly. If she hadn't just seen Su Wanqing's post on WeChat Moments last night, showing off that her boyfriend had given her a diamond necklace worth millions and praising the shop owner for sending her a bouquet of flowers as a free gift, she would have really thought that Shen Mingzhou had a change of heart.

She hesitated to answer, so Shen Mingzhou simply shoved it into her arms, asking with concern, "Why do you look so pale? Didn't you sleep well last night? Didn't you eat breakfast this morning?"

He asked several questions in one go, and his considerate manner was just like that of a good husband.

After he finished speaking, he reached out to touch her forehead, but Yan Xuxu instinctively dodged and used the momentum to throw the bouquet of flowers to the ground.

"Have you forgotten? I'm allergic to flowers."

Shen Mingzhou was taken aback.

After so many years of marriage, he never knew that Yan Xuxu was allergic to flowers.

He took the initiative to admit his mistake, saying, "I'm sorry, honey, I forgot. I'll get rid of the flowers right away."

After saying that, he bent down, picked up the bouquet of flowers, threw it directly into the trash can, and then turned to her and said, "I'll go make you some nutritious porridge. Drinking some porridge after drinking will make you feel better."

Yan Xuxu didn't speak, but stared at him intently. Although her face was expressionless, it sent chills down Shen Mingzhou's spine.

He frowned slightly, finding it strange.

Over the years, Yan Xuxu hasn't been particularly enthusiastic towards him, but she would never look at him with that kind of gaze.

What's wrong with me today?

He assumed she was just tired and in a bad mood last night and didn't take it to heart. He took off his suit jacket and went into the kitchen, where he skillfully tied on an apron and started washing rice and cooking porridge.

If he had done this in the past, Yan Xuxu would have been moved, and sometimes she would have even felt quite sorry for Shen Mingzhou.

After all, the person she liked from the beginning wasn't him.

It was after they got married that he gently warmed her heart little by little, which made her slowly fall in love with him.

But now, she only felt that the person in front of her was really hypocritical and terrifying!

That gentle face, once the sugar coating is removed, hides nothing but poison!

Yan Xuxu took a deep breath and suppressed all the bad emotions in her heart.

This is an absolute scumbag!

She's not worth being sad or upset about.

From this day forward, she is only Yan Xuxu, no longer Shen Mingzhou's wife!

Soon, a rich aroma of porridge wafted through the air.

The porridge was ready. Shen Mingzhou ladled a bowl and placed it on the table, smiling as he called her to wash her hands and eat.

Yan Xuxu went back to her room to change her clothes and came out to sit down opposite him.

Shen Mingzhou is quite skilled in cooking; after all, playing the role of a good husband over the years has honed his culinary skills.

The porridge was cooked until very thick and looked very appetizing, but she didn't pick up a spoon. Instead, she looked at him firmly and said, "Shen Mingzhou, I don't want to do this anymore!"

Shen Mingzhou's expression froze, his face filled with disbelief. "Is it because the project didn't go through last night?"

Perhaps because cooking was inconvenient, he loosened his tie a bit, and from Yan Xuxu's angle, she could clearly see the hickeys on his neck.

Even though she had already decided to let go, this scene still stung Yan Xuxu's eyes.

But it was only a glance. Yan Xuxu pretended not to see anything and immediately looked away.

Seeing her red eyes, Shen Mingzhou comforted her, "It's okay, if we can't win her over, we'll find another opportunity. You don't need to blame yourself."

He knew this client was hard to win over. Over the years, he had contacted the client by phone many times, but the client never gave him a chance.

He was unwilling to give up, so he later handed the project over to Yan Xuxu.

Unexpectedly, after negotiating with the other party for more than half a year, Yan Xuxu still failed to secure the cooperation.

Yan Xuxu acted as if nothing was amiss, then casually mentioned, "I'm planning to improve myself and learn some research skills, so could you please return my medical books to me?"

Shen Mingzhou was visibly flustered, but he smiled and reassured her, "If you want to learn a skill, I can have someone teach you."

He brought her bowl of porridge over, stirred it with a spoon, tested the temperature with his fingertip, and then scooped up a spoonful to feed her himself.

"How about this, you hang in there a little longer, and I'll talk to Wanqing and we can transfer you to the R&D department so that the professionals there can mentor you. What do you think?"

Yan Xuxu turned her face away, refusing to drink the porridge he offered, her displeasure barely concealed.

Shen Mingzhou frowned almost imperceptibly, and continued to coax her patiently, "Wife, learning a skill is too mentally taxing. If you really don't want to do it anymore, you can rest at home for a while and come back when you've rested enough. There's no need to work so hard."

It seems Shen Mingzhou has no intention of returning the medical book.

Yan Xuxu tried her best to keep her tone calm, "No need to trouble Director Su, I can study it myself when I have time. My grandfather's medical books are easy to understand, which is perfect for me."

Shen Mingzhou put down his spoon and spoke frankly, "Not yet. I'm currently researching a new technology using medical books, and it's almost successful. I can't let all my previous efforts go to waste."

"What technology?"

Shen Mingzhou used his usual excuse, "It involves research and development secrets, so I can't tell you for now. I promise I will return the medical book to you once it's developed."

Yan Xuxu felt a pang of panic. She had had the medical book for some time, when she was researching a new technology and had made notes in it. Could it be...?

Is the new technology Shen Mingzhou mentioned the one she hadn't finished researching before?

Before he could even ask, Shen Mingzhou's phone, which was on the table, rang.

Yan Xuxu could clearly see the names flashing on the screen.

"Su Wanqing".

Shen Mingzhou immediately stood up with his phone in hand. "You eat first, I'll go answer this call."
