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

The evening sun shone on her, casting a rosy glow on her fair skin. She wore a simple navy blue shirt paired with a white pencil skirt, exuding an indescribable sexiness and charm. Yet, with a book in her hands and glasses on, she possessed the gentle grace of a socialite, while also retaining the scholarly air of a girl from a modest family.

Even though Shen Mingzhou had no feelings for her, he had to admit that Yan Xuxu was very beautiful.

She is 1.68 meters tall, slender but not skinny, with full and shapely curves in the right places, especially her very thin waist, which makes people want to hug her.

Shen Mingzhou couldn't help but swallow hard, his voice hoarse, "Just now, the Xie Group agreed to cooperate."

Yan Xuxu looked up from her book, happy for him, "That's really good news."

"Yes, but what Mr. Xie wants to collaborate on is not the project you're discussing, but the new technology we're currently researching."

Shen Mingzhou hadn't expected that the Xie family would target his new technology before it was even successful.

He was desperate to cooperate with the Xie family, even though the result was somewhat contrary to his original intention. But if he could get on the good side of the Xie family, he would be willing to cooperate on any project.

"However..." He looked troubled.

"But what?"

Yan Xuxu already knew the answer and waited for him to speak.

"Assistant Mu suggested that you be in charge of tracking this project and report the progress to him every day."

Over the years, Shen Mingzhou has gone to great lengths to prevent Yan Xuxu from accessing research and development secrets, partly because of medical books and partly because he doesn't want her to have contact with Su Wanqing.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lanyuan specifically requested that Yan Xuxu be in charge.

Shen Mingzhou had recommended other people, but Xie Lanyuan rejected them all.

The other party's reason was simple: Yan Xuxu had been negotiating with them for half a year, so they were quite familiar with her, which would facilitate future communication.

He thought that Yan Xuxu was just an ordinary medical student, so it wouldn't matter if she knew about the progress of new technologies.

Anyway, she doesn't know how to do research, so she won't cause much of a stir.

Yan Xuxu knew that Xie Lanyuan had made a concession; otherwise, the plan could not have been implemented.

She couldn't appear too eager, so she feigned difficulty, saying, "But I don't know anything about research. What if I mess up your collaboration?"

"It's alright, I'll find someone to help you. You just need to focus on the reporting."

After saying that, Shen Mingzhou stroked her hair and said gently, "I promised to let you rest at home, but I broke my promise again. Whatever compensation you want, I will definitely give it to you."

Yan Xuxu resisted the urge to remove his hand and asked expectantly, "So, what position will you give me in the company next?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Project Director, is this alright?"

Over the years, most of the projects she secured for Shen Mingzhou were based on technologies researched from medical books.

Since she was going to get the medical book back, she wouldn't let Shen Mingzhou benefit from these items for nothing.

Shen Mingzhou was reluctant, but thinking about how he had upset her at noon and how hard he had to coax her back, he finally softened. "Okay, I'll go back to the company and discuss it with the managers later. I'll give you an answer then."

He left in a hurry.

Once he was completely out of sight, Yan Xuxu's expression turned cold.

She knew that his so-called discussion was actually a trip to see Su Wanqing.

She also believed that Shen Mingzhou would agree.

After all, he had just secured a partnership with the Xie Group. If word got out that the person in charge of the project was just a lowly pharmaceutical representative, what kind of criticism would Shen Mingzhou face, and what would the Xie Group think? He knew better than anyone else what would happen.

Shen Mingzhou didn't come back that night either.

Yan Xuxu had just finished showering and lay down when the text message arrived as expected.

"Honey, come to work tomorrow."

Yan Xuxu sneered. It seemed that Shen Mingzhou was willing to sacrifice everything for profit.

She replied with a smiley face: "Okay."

She was about to put down her phone and go to sleep after closing the chat window when a friend request popped up.

She clicked on it casually, only to see a completely black profile picture. Her fingertip suddenly stopped.

Even though the other party had not left a note, Yan Xuxu still guessed that it was Xie Lanyuan.

For a moment, my breathing became somewhat labored.

She stared at the profile picture, the color of which, like an abyss, unexpectedly overlapped with that night five years ago. Suddenly, she remembered herself standing in the wind and rain that night, clutching the gift she wanted to give him, only to find him celebrating his birthday with another woman. He didn't even glance at her, and even hugged the woman in front of her.

It felt like my heart was being pierced by an ice pick, and the scabbed wound was suddenly torn open.

Yan Xuxu subconsciously gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white, while her eyes were dry and aching.

After a long time, she finally turned off her phone screen with trembling hands and buried her face in the blanket.

She thought that after so much time, she would have let go of this relationship, but she didn't expect that time would not heal everything, but would only hide these pains in the deepest part of her heart.

Just waiting for an unexpected moment to overwhelm her again!

The whole night was a dream.

The next day, Yan Xuxu arrived at the company early.

Shen Mingzhou had already made all the arrangements; she could simply go directly to the project department to take up her post.

It's laughable, really.

Since joining Ming'an Group, no one knows that she is Shen Mingzhou's nominal wife.

After all, who would want to associate a lowly pharmaceutical sales representative with the president's wife?

In addition, she has been helping out with business and rarely comes to the company. Now, she has been parachuted into the project department as the project director, which has aroused resentment among many people.

Despite seeing the unfriendly faces, Yan Xuxu didn't take it to heart.

She came here for the medical books; she didn't care whether others recognized her or not.

Because she was previously in the business department, she was suddenly transferred to the project department. There was a lot of work she needed to get familiar with, and Shen Mingzhou hadn't arranged for anyone to mentor her yet. She could only learn by herself by studying the materials as quickly as possible.

After working for more than an hour, she left the project department and headed to the R&D department, intending to first learn about the latest progress of the new technology.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the R&D department, she bumped into Su Wanqing being surrounded by a group of people.

Every one of them wore a fawning, obsequious smile.

Yan Xuxu couldn't hear what they were talking about, but she clearly heard them address Su Wanqing as "President's wife".

A chill ran from head to toe, completely waking her up!

Yan Xuxu suddenly realized a problem.

Since Shen Mingzhou was able to use someone else's information to register their marriage with her, is there any possibility...?

Shen Mingzhou had already married Su Wanqing!

Yan Xuxu immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Lin Huan, asking her to check Su Wanqing's marital status again. Just then, Lin Huan turned around, saw her, and quickly walked towards her.

"Xuxu, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Su Wanqing smiled gently and took her hand familiarly.

It was this face that had bewitched her for so many years.

So much so that she never suspected that the other party would collude with Shen Mingzhou to deceive her.
