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

Yan Xuxu stood there, stunned.

Besides Jie Lanyuan, who else could come and go freely in her house?

"It's too late, hide quickly!"

Yan Xuxu said to the man who was still sitting on the sofa.

Compared to her panic, Jie Lanyuan was very calm and composed.

He acted as if he were the male head of the household.

Even if someone comes, it won't affect him at all.

"Jie Lanyuan!"

Yan Xuxu straightened her clothes and called out those three words in a tone that was both reproachful and soft.

It sounds like she's being coquettish.

Jie Lanyuan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

She had just been brutally bullied by him, her face was still flushed, her eyelashes were wet, and she looked so beautiful that it made one's heart itch.

He deliberately made things difficult for me, saying, "Beg me."

"you……"

Yan Xuxu gritted her teeth, about to utter a curse, when she heard a familiar voice, "Xuxu?"

She stood there stunned once again.

That sound...

It's Shen Mingzhou.

Does he have the key to the villa?

It's not surprising, really. Shen Mingzhou bought the villa, and he gave her the key.

It's normal for him to keep a set on hand.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, and they were about to enter. Yan Xuxu had no choice but to give in, "Please..."

Xie Lanyuan laughed, but he still wasn't going to let her off the hook. "Not sincere enough."

Don't push your luck.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

Jie Lanyuan remained seated as still as a mountain, as if he wouldn't leave unless he was appeased.

Yan Xuxu bit her lip hard, and shameful words spilled from her lips, "If you listen to me, I'll make it up to you later."

"How will you compensate me?" Like a sleeping beast suddenly awakening, his eyes were full of interest.

Yan Xuxu gritted her teeth, both anxious and annoyed, "Do whatever you want."

The reason Xie Lanyuan kept pestering her was to wait for those words.

After finally managing to get her to talk, he smiled with satisfaction, "You said it yourself, I didn't force you."

I didn't pressure her...

If he had anything in his hand, Yan Xuxu would definitely smash him to death.

How can there be such a shameless person!

She gestured to him with her eyes for him to get lost.

Jie Lanyuan chuckled casually and slipped into the curtains opposite.

Just in time, Shen Mingzhou walked towards the living room and immediately saw Yan Xuxu sitting on the sofa.

She had already tidied herself up, but the flush on her face hadn't faded, her lips were still swollen, her shirt was wrinkled, and her hair looked messy.

Shen Mingzhou sensed something was wrong and asked suspiciously, "Xuxu, who are you with?"

"Nobody's home, I'm the only one here."

Yan Xuxu pressed her legs together to cover the tear in her skirt, so as not to expose her private parts.

Shen Mingzhou looked at her, then glanced around, clearly disbelieving. "I just heard you talking to someone, and you didn't answer when I called you."

"Oh, I was just on the phone."

Yan Xuxu made up a random excuse, then changed the subject, "By the way, what brings you here?"

Her gaze swept over Ice Cream, who was fast asleep in the cage.

As soon as Jie Lanyuan appeared, wasn't Xuegao making a constant noise?

Why is Shen Mingzhou here?

Instead, it was as quiet as a quail.

Are you sure this dog will guard the house?

Why did she let me down at such a crucial moment?!

I sent you a message but you haven't replied. You didn't come to the office today either, so I came to check on you.

After Shen Mingzhou finished speaking, he sat down next to her and reached out to hold her hand.

Yan Xuxu felt uncomfortable.

But thinking of Xie Lanyuan watching from the shadows, she suppressed her nausea and didn't pull away. "I was tired last night and went to bed early, so I didn't check my phone."

I was so anxious to get him to hide that I could only try to coax him with kind words.

Who knows what he'll do next after Shen Mingzhou leaves?

It would be better to pretend to be a loving couple with Shen Mingzhou for the time being and force him to leave.

In the quiet environment, the faint sound of joints cracking could be heard.

It was accompanied by a sound of kicking the wall, neither too loud nor too soft.

Shen Mingzhou became suspicious again. "What was that sound?"

No, you must have misheard.

Yan Xuxu's heart pounded, and she glanced at the curtains out of the corner of her eye.

Jie Lanyuan peeked out with half his face, staring dangerously at the hand that Shen Mingzhou was holding.

She immediately pulled back, glared at him fiercely, and told him to hide it.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Mingzhou followed her gaze.

Yan Xuxu frantically shifted her focus to the ice cream.

Shen Mingzhou also saw the puppy in the cage and asked in surprise, "You have a dog?"

Yan Xuxu breathed a sigh of relief, "Yeah, let's keep one to guard the house, so it won't get burgled."

As she said this, she glanced at Shen Mingzhou as if it were an unintentional gesture, then looked towards the curtains.

Shen Mingzhou explained, "This is also part of our home. When I gave you the key, I kept a set for myself."

Sure enough, they kept it.

It seems she needs to find a reason to change the locks.

To prevent a repeat of today's incident.

"I'm fine, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go back after a few more days of rest."

Yan Xuxu yawned and urged him to leave.

Once the paper is approved and she obtains the patent for the new technology, she can find a way to get the medical book back.

Then, it was only natural for him to resign from Ming'an Group.

"Wife."

Shen Mingzhou reached out and brushed the stray hairs from her forehead.

Yan Xuxu awkwardly dodged away.

She knows Shen Mingzhou too well.

What do you need her for?

Or perhaps it's when he feels guilty that he treats his wife, both the ex-wife and the aunt, the wife.

It seems that his purpose in coming here today was definitely not as simple as just coming to see her.

"The company has encountered some problems applying for a new technology patent."

Shen Mingzhou cut to the chase, saying, "You usually have a lot of contact with the Xie Group and are relatively familiar with Assistant Mu. See if you can find an opportunity to get the Xie Group to lend a hand."

Oh.

It turns out they had no other way out.

They came to her for help.

Yan Xuxu said with difficulty, "I'm really not familiar with Assistant Mu. Even if I asked, he wouldn't agree."

Shen Mingzhou racked his brains but couldn't find a solution.

He thought back to the past six months, when it was Yan Xuxu and Mu Nan who had been negotiating.

On the night of Madam Xie's birthday banquet, Mu Nan personally went to pick up Yan Xuxu and even helped her out of an awkward situation at the banquet.

Even if the two weren't close enough to be friends, they still had some connection.

That's why they came to Yan Xuxu for help.

"Go report to him, find an opportunity to mention it, and maybe he'll agree," Shen Mingzhou said, unwilling to give up.

Yan Xuxu wanted him to leave quickly and gave him a perfunctory response, "Alright, I'll give it a try."

Shen Mingzhou's face lit up with joy. "I'll be waiting for your good news."

After saying that, he touched her hair.

Yan Xuxu could feel the sharp and dangerous eyes hidden behind the curtains looking at her, and she looked away uncomfortably.

With a faint smile still on her face, she said, "Let's go, don't delay our work."

After not living together for a few days, Shen Mingzhou felt somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Seeing how sensible she was, I couldn't help but lower my face to kiss her forehead.

With a "bang," it sounded as if something had been hit.

Yan Xuxu was so frightened that her heart clenched. She pushed Shen Mingzhou away abruptly and stood up from the sofa. "It's windy outside. Something might have been blown over."

"You go back first, I'll go check it out in a bit."

"wrong."

Shen Mingzhou cautiously surveyed his surroundings, his gaze locking onto the direction of the window. "The sound is coming from the living room."
