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

"Feed—"

She spoke instinctively, unaware of how soft and charming her voice was.

It's really too suggestive.

Lin Huan recognized the voice, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, asked incredulously, "Still sleeping?"

Yan Xuxu was too embarrassed to talk about spending the whole night with Xie Lanyuan, so she quickly changed the subject, "Why did you call me? What news did you have?"

"Yes, the statement has been issued, and relevant departments have launched an investigation, confirming that Ming'an Group has plagiarized your work."

Lin Huan couldn't hide her joy. "Next, it's our turn to demand compensation from Shen Mingzhou."

Yan Xuxu leaned against the headboard, a cold glint in her eyes. "The compensation alone is enough to give Shen Mingzhou a hard time. I want to see how long Shen Mingzhou can hold out under such multiple blows."

"Zhizhi, who are you talking to on the phone?"

Just as Yan Xuxu finished speaking, Xie Lanyuan's magnetic voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Startled, her hand trembled, and she nearly dropped her phone.

"I'm leaving this to you. All the expenses will go towards the research institute's R&D funding. I have something to attend to, so I'll hang up now."

She hurriedly ended the call, looked up at Xie Lanyuan, and said with a hint of reproach, "When did you come in? Why were you walking so quietly?"

"I just knocked on the door, but you didn't hear me."

Xie Lanyuan held a steaming bowl of noodles, topped with beef, a poached egg, and drizzled with sesame oil.

The entire room was instantly filled with fragrance.

Exhausted after a long night, Yan Xuxu was starving.

The aroma of the food tantalized her taste buds, and she couldn't help but purse her lips.

Little did she know, her swollen lips were slightly cracked, and her gesture was subtly alluring, making Xie Lanyuan's heart itch with desire.

He placed the noodles on the bedside table, then lowered his handsome face again, his voice becoming seductive, "Zhizhi, don't do this, I can't help myself."

Yan Xuxu's chest heaved violently, her flushed face deepening several shades, and her voice, undeniably soft, said, "What? I'm just hungry."

"Hungry?" The man smiled mockingly, raising an eyebrow with a dark look in his eyes.

Yan Xuxu glared at him speechlessly, "I'm just physically hungry, what are you thinking?"

Xie Lanyuan knew exactly how intense it had been last night.

Seeing her weak and listless appearance, he felt sorry for her and couldn't bear to take her anymore. He let go of her and brought her the bowl of noodles to feed her.

"Okay, let's eat first."

Yan Xuxu was really starving.

It readily opened its mouth and ate the noodles.

Soon, the bowl of noodles was empty.

Jie Lanyuan placed the empty bowl aside, took out a tissue, and gently wiped the soup from her lips. "Want some more?"

Yan Xuxu shook her head.

After eating, I regained some strength, but I still felt very uncomfortable all over. It felt like every nerve in my body had been slowly tortured.

Xie Lanyuan noticed that she was uncomfortable, so he got into bed and leaned next to her, putting his arm around her shoulder.

Yan Xuxu thought he wanted more and was so frightened that she tried to run away, but said, "It's getting late, you can go now."

We had such a passionate and tender time last night.

Are you turning your back on me now?

Jie Lanyuan pulled her back and held her tightly in his arms, saying, "I am Zhizhi's man. Wherever Zhizhi is, I will live there."

Is she planning to stay with her and never leave?

Yan Xuxu reminded everyone of the rules of the game again, "We each get what we need, and afterwards we each go our own way, understand?"

Jie Lanyuan pretended to be oblivious and massaged her shoulders with moderate force, "Are you tired? Let me rub them for you."

"unnecessary."

Yan Xuxu slapped his hand away, trying to keep her distance from him.

But the man's chest was like an impenetrable wall; she couldn't break free and had exhausted all her strength.

Not only was I panting heavily, but I was also sweating profusely.

Finally, he collapsed weakly onto Jie Lanyuan.

Just like a cute and cuddly kitten, it melted Jie Lanyuan's heart.

He stroked her soft hair, then lowered his head to kiss her brow and eyes. "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

She had consistently refused to agree to his conditions.

She was even angry at his intrusion.

Last night, however, he suddenly took the initiative to kiss me.

They let him take whatever he wanted.

Jie Lanyuan guessed that something might have happened to her.

Yan Xuxu's eyes turned cold as she recalled what she had overheard at the hospital last night. "Jie Lanyuan, can you do me a favor?"

There was still no news from Lin Huan.

She couldn't ask Shen Mingzhou directly either.

Once Shen Mingzhou realizes that she already knows the truth, it's unclear how he will use this to stir up trouble.

The longer the husband listed on the marriage certificate remains undiscovered, the more trouble there will be in the future.

Yan Xuxu felt uneasy.

The fact that Jie Lanyuan could easily crack her house's access control and come and go freely in her house is enough to prove that he is a computer expert.

In addition, the people around him are not ordinary people.

If he's willing to step forward, cracking the Civil Affairs Bureau's code wouldn't be difficult.

But if Xie Lanyuan were to step forward, her unsavory relationship with Shen Mingzhou would no longer be able to be hidden, and she hesitated again.

"What do you want me to do?"

His burning gaze fell on her luscious red lips, clearly indicating ulterior motives.

Yan Xuxu knew how dangerous it was to ask him for help, and after thinking it over, she changed her mind again, "Forget it, I'll think of another way."

"You're keeping me in suspense, aren't you?"

The man's handsome face showed his dissatisfaction.

Seeing his dangerous look, as if he would severely punish her if she didn't tell him, Yan Xuxu quickly said, "Help me investigate something."

"What?"

Jie Lanyuan's large hand moved back and forth through her hair.

His fingertips brushed against her scalp, intentionally or unintentionally.

It brings in bursts of electricity.

Yan Xuxu shrugged, trying to shake off his hand, but the movement caused her nightgown to slip down halfway off her shoulder.

She was so exhausted last night that she fainted.

He carried her into the bathroom to take a shower.

He then took out a soft nightgown from the wardrobe and helped her put it on himself.

Yan Xuxu couldn't shake him off; instead, he became even more brazen, entwining his hair around hers.

Yan Xuxu's scalp tingled from his touch, and her body stiffened as if she had been electrocuted. She couldn't even speak properly. "Help me find out... who is the person I registered my marriage with?"

Upon hearing this, Jie Lanyuan paused in his actions, the desire in his eyes vanished, replaced by disbelief.

"Isn't the person you married Shen Mingzhou?"

Now that the conversation had reached this point, Yan Xuxu saw no need to hide anything anymore and confessed truthfully, "He used someone else's identity information to register our marriage. We have absolutely no marital relationship."

"Lin Huan is already investigating this matter, but Shen Mingzhou bribed people at the Civil Affairs Bureau and tampered with the registration system. The password has not been cracked yet."

"I need you to cooperate with Lin Huan to find out that person's identity. I want to end my marriage with him."
