After her ninth miscarriage, she finally let her scumbag husband and her beloved get together.

Cen Yuan coughed lightly and lowered his head to continue wiping his hands.

Xu Wantang could see with the naked eye that his earlobes were so red they were almost transparent.

Is he... getting too stressed?

No wonder Lin Yue always said they needed to vent their anger.

Could it be that years of cultivation have caused this problem?

But the sound seemed fine just now.

"Xu Wantang, suppress what's in your head." Cen Yuan glanced at her.

"No, I'm just worried you'll get sick from holding it in..."

Xu Wantang blurted out, then quickly corrected herself, "I meant I was worried about disturbing you while you were using the restroom."

It's better not to explain at all; explaining will only make things more awkward.

Even worse, the sound of high heels and laughter could be heard coming from the corridor.

They are from the dance troupe.

The next second, Xu Wantang felt a tightness around her waist and was pulled into a private room diagonally opposite the restroom.

Before she could even stand still, her body was enveloped in a warm embrace.

She pressed herself tightly against the back of the door, her head bowed in a panic, afraid to move.

At this moment, several people outside the door stopped in front of the large mirror outside the restroom.

"The way Xu Wantang looked when she was tricked was hilarious."

"Who told her to offend Teacher Hu? I heard that Teacher Hu has always wanted her niece to join our dance troupe as her successor, and all the arrangements have been made. Who knew that Xu Wantang would suddenly appear out of nowhere and sign a contract with the troupe so publicly? Not only does her niece have no chance, but she also can't get into other dance troupes because of this. How could Teacher Hu not dislike her?"

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder Hu Qin looked disgusted when she first saw her.

The colleagues continued to discuss it.

"I don't think it's that simple. After all, she is the third young mistress of the Cen family. No matter how capable Teacher Hu is, he wouldn't dare to touch the Cen family. But who can blame him for treating her as a mere decoration? Her husband doesn't care about her. Based on her past reputation, if you step on her, everyone will praise you for doing it right."

"When I came over just now, I heard the waiter say that the Third Young Master was here too. And just then, Xina went to see her boyfriend. Do you think they might actually be together?"

"Although it's just a rumor, it might not be entirely unfounded. Besides, even if the Third Young Master came, he wouldn't help Xu Wantang? Heh, it's obvious who's more important. We should stick to seeing Xina more often in the future."

"Shh!"

One of them suddenly shushed him, then lowered his voice and spoke again.

"Stop talking. Didn't Xu Wantang just say she was going to the restroom?"

"So what if we hear it? What does it have to do with us if the Third Young Master likes other women? She couldn't even keep the husband she stole. If she's so capable, let the Third Young Master come and cause us trouble. When the Cen family finds out she hid in the toilet and skipped out on the bill, we'll see who's shameless."

One of them even deliberately raised his voice, as if afraid that Xu Wantang wouldn't hear him.

The group burst into laughter and turned to leave.

Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Xu Wantang felt extremely embarrassed.

It's not because she, as a wife, doesn't receive her husband's favoritism, but rather because she is ridiculed for being inferior to the mistress.

Instead... Cen Yuan heard it.

She pressed herself tightly against the back of the door, and when she looked up, her eyes suddenly met the man's.

The man's gaze was deep and slow, his breathing gradually subdued, concealing an ambiguous meaning.

"Cen Shichuan won't help you, so you came to me?"

"No! I contacted you first, how was I supposed to know he would come?"

Xu Wantang explained without hesitation.

But then I felt something was off about her explanation to Cen Yuan.

However, since Cen Yuan has arrived and she's heard what her colleagues said, it's time for this little green tea b*tch to make her appearance.

She pinched her own flesh, and her eyes reddened.

"Second brother, I didn't really want to trouble you, but as you just heard, I was scammed by them, and I really can't come up with hundreds of thousands."

"It's one thing for me to lose face, but what if the Cen family also lose face... Ouch!"

Perhaps speaking in a low voice was too affected, because Xu Wantang accidentally bit her tongue.

She was in so much pain that she stuck out her tongue.

Cen Yuan stared at her lightly protruding pink lips, his tongue sweeping across her rosy lips, leaving a glistening trail, like freshly squeezed flower juice, carrying an alluring scent.

He leaned closer, their noses almost touching, their breaths mingling more intensely.

The air suddenly became viscous.

Xu Wantang was stunned for a moment, forgetting to look away.

Just as things were getting out of control, hurried footsteps came from outside the door again, followed by the sound of someone vomiting.

All ambiguity vanished.

Xu Wantang even felt a little nauseous.

Cen Yuan turned his head and closed his eyes until the darkness in his eyes dissipated before he distanced himself from the other person.

"Are you asking for money? Or are you going to deal with the people?" he asked bluntly.

Of course, it's about dealing with the people.

Otherwise, if there's a first time, there will be a second.

But Xu Wantang was afraid that if she spoke too bluntly, Cen Yuan would think she was too heartless and what if he stopped helping her in the future?

How could she possibly handle so many people right now?

Xu Wantang obediently lowered her long eyelashes and said with a wronged look, "Originally, I also wanted to borrow money to settle this matter, since we are all colleagues. But now that it concerns the reputation of the Cen family, I dare not settle it hastily."

"..."

Cen Yuan listened quietly until she finished her performance, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

If she really wants to borrow money, that's fine too.

As for what's good about it, he knows it in his heart.

Once that thought arose, it spread like ripples, causing him to involuntarily curl his lips into a smile.

A soft chuckle swept across Xu Wantang's head, and she immediately looked up at the man: "Second Brother, are you laughing at me?"

Has her acting not improved at all?

Cen Yuan immediately lowered his eyes: "No, what you said makes sense. It concerns the Cen family, so we can't just let it go."

Xu Wantang didn't think much of it and went along with it, "Second Brother, could you...?"

Upon hearing this, Cen Yuan nodded.

"Thank you, Second Brother."

Xu Wantang was finally relieved and turned to leave the private room.

Cen Yuan walked out after a while, and Lin Yue was already waiting for him.

He glanced at Lin Yue: "You've been so impatient lately. Go back and copy the Mindfulness Sutra twice."

"Huh?" Lin Yue was dumbfounded. "Second Young Master, shouldn't I get a raise?"

"Then let's add another recitation of the Meditation Sutra," Cen Yuan said calmly.

"No! Second Young Master, you must know that a strong physique is a man's asset!"

As Lin Yue spoke, he scanned Cen Yuan up and down.

Cen Yuan: "..."

He doesn't need that proof.

……

When Xu Wantang returned to her seat, she was somewhat stunned.

The meal cost of over 300,000 yuan was already outrageous enough.

Unexpectedly, these people took advantage of her and even ate and took things from her.

The table, which was originally piled high with food, was now covered with takeout dishes and drinks.

Hu Qin frowned in displeasure when she saw Xu Wantang arrive so late: "So slow? You're keeping everyone waiting. But since you're treating, we'll forgive you."

She then pointed to the takeout boxes in front of her: "Everyone was thinking of the leaders in the group, so they specially asked the restaurant to pack some good dishes and some drinks. The leaders will thank the Third Young Mistress for her generosity."

After finishing her speech, Xu Wantang offered two words of thanks.

She was somewhat surprised by Hu Qin's skills.

Although Huqin is not of high status, she is the most senior teacher in the dance troupe and holds the ratings for everyone.

It's no exaggeration to say that she can decide the positions of everyone in the dance troupe.

No dancer wants to stand in a corner for their entire life.

Therefore, her power is very significant for these dancers.

Huqin stood up and said, "Let's go, we have rehearsal this afternoon."

A group of people grabbed their things and were about to leave without even saying thank you.

"Wait, you can't leave."
