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

Liao Zhen sounded a little anxious, and Xu Wantang quickly agreed.

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Cen Yuan.

Coincidentally, Cen Yuan was also looking at her, and the two spoke almost in unison.

"What were you trying to say?"

"What were you trying to say?"

Cen Yuan twirled the small spoon: "You go first."

Xu Wantang pursed her lips deeply.

After spending time together, she felt that Cen Yuan, Cen Shichuan, and even the Cen family were different.

Perhaps understanding her situation will help her escape from Cen Shichuan.

She mustered her courage and said, "Second Brother, actually I..."

Ding.

"Your husband is here to see you," Liao Zhen sent another message.

Worried that Cen Shichuan might become suspicious again, Xu Wantang immediately stood up: "Second Brother, I'm sorry, I have something to attend to and I have to go first."

"Um."

Cen Yuan nodded.

Xu Wantang turned and ran out of the cake shop.

At the same time, Cen Yuan also received a text message from Liao Zhen.

"The Third Young Master has come looking for his wife."

The words were somewhat sarcastic, but they were also a reminder to Cen Yuan.

Some relationships are destined to remain unspoken.

Then another message popped up.

"However, the erhu is probably finished. Thank you for your help. I will find a good teacher to guide Xu Wantang."

Cen Yuan didn't reply to the message, but waved for the shop assistant to come over.

"She should come here often. Could you find out which cake she likes best?"

The shop assistant thought the two had successfully confessed their feelings and immediately smiled like an auntie, tapping a few times on her phone.

"She used to always order a slice of cake, no matter the flavor. Whenever we have a new flavor, she'll come and try it."

"Order one dish separately?" Cen Yuan asked hesitantly.

"Yes, it's all recorded. This is the first time she's ordered a whole cake, which is why she mistook our photo number."

After thinking for a moment, the shop assistant added, "Speaking of which, I have a particularly deep impression of her because she's beautiful, and we can't help but glance at her a few more times every time we see her."

"But she always came alone before, she didn't even have any friends."

"I've heard her on the phone several times, and I could hear the cursing on the other end through the phone; it sounded like her parents."

"Oh right, I remember the first time she came, she was so happy, she sat here waiting for someone. Later, that person never came, so she called him, and I don't know what the man on the other end said, but she just sat there with red eyes, eating alone..."

The shop assistant said a lot.

But Cen Yuan only heard one sentence.

"Always alone?"

He was the first one to come with her.

He was also the first person to eat barbecue with her.

It could also be another first...

Cen Shichuan's wife?

Oh.

Cen Yuan put down his fork and said in a very calm voice, "Could you please pack this up for me?"

"it is good."

……

Xu Wantang rushed back to the dance troupe.

As soon as I entered the rehearsal room, I saw Huqin, who had been dancing gracefully in her practice clothes that morning, now rolling around on the floor.

Comparable to a pig that's hard to control during Chinese New Year.

"It wasn't me! I won't go! Don't even think about arresting me!"

Two policemen were standing next to her.

"Hu Qin, you and restaurant manager Li are suspected of issuing false invoices to profit from the difference and conspiring to defraud customers, causing damage to the restaurant's interests of more than three million yuan."

"If you cooperate, we will have a proper talk with you. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for not considering that you are a lesbian."

The erhu stopped moving, its face turned ashen, and it collapsed to the ground.

"It's over, it's all over."

Xu Wantang stood in the crowd and listened to the conversations of those around her before she learned the whole story.

Hu Qin is very good at flattering superiors, so he has some connections.

When you help someone with a favor, they'll treat you to a meal.

After a while, he conspired with the restaurant manager to cheat customers, and then the two of them split the spoils.

Just as Xu Wantang was about to say that Hu Qin had brought it upon herself, Hu Qin saw her, suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran to her.

"Third Young Madam, please help me, I really dare not do it again."

Xu Wantang struggled to answer, "I almost fell for your tricks, how can I help you?"

Hu Qin held onto her tightly, saying, "Yes, you can definitely do it. Manager Li said I offended someone I shouldn't have, and I really can't think of anyone else but you."

It's Cen Yuan.

Xu Wantang tugged at her clothes.

If she were that capable, why would she have bothered dealing with Cen Shichuan for so long?

Hu Qin cried out, "It must be the Third Young Master! Third Young Master's wife, please forgive my rudeness..."

Xu Wantang retorted without hesitation: "It wasn't him."

She didn't want Cen Shichuan to take credit for Cen Yuan's work at all.

To her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, there was complete silence around her.

Cen Shichuan entered the rehearsal room at some point. He stared at Xu Wantang and coldly waved his hand: "Take her away!"

The police handcuffed the erhu on the ground and dragged it away from the rehearsal room.

Just as Xu Wantang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Cen Shichuan looked at her.

"Come out with me for a moment."

With so many people watching, Xu Wantang could only nod and follow them out.

The two walked down to the garden.

Cen Shichuan stopped his wheelchair: "Why can't it be me? Am I that bad in your eyes?"

if not?

Of course, she didn't say that.

She said calmly, "Didn't your text message already tell me the answer? Telling me you won't help me."

Cen Shichuan paused for a moment and then explained, "I just hope you can take the initiative to ask me for help."

"You don't want me to ask you for help; you want me to beg for mercy."

Xu Wantang exposed his hypocrisy without hesitation.

"you……"

Cen Shichuan's face was grim. After a long silence, he asked, "Then who were you thinking of when you said that just now?"

"Nobody."

Xu Wantang answered very quickly.

But because of this, Cen Shichuan still noticed her guilty conscience.

He coldly warned, "Xu Wantang, you are my wife! Everything you have now is given to you by me. Otherwise, given what you did back then, once you leave me, there would be plenty of people who would tear you apart."

It's always like this.

Reality is cruel.

The reality is that she has indeed been protected by Cen Shichuan for a long time.

After the scandal broke out about her drugging her sister and causing her death in bed, various photos of her circulated across the internet.

It included photos of her changing clothes in the locker room.

Although her image was blurred, the other party maliciously used a blurring pen to depict her figure.

Different men were photoshopped around her.

She became synonymous with promiscuity.

Her phone, email, and private messages made it seem as if a pair of eyes were watching her from every angle.

Unfortunately, the Xu family kicked her out of their home.

She was like a piece of meat left on the road, with too many people waiting to tear her apart.

It was Cen Shichuan who took her back to the Cen family home, and it was also he who deleted those photos.

That's why Xu Wantang was willing to marry him despite the infamy, and even wanted to live a good life with him.

But cruelly, all of this was caused by Cen Shichuan.

The instigator of everything was Cen Shichuan.

Now, Xu Wantang heard Cen Shichuan say such words again.

She was starting to lose patience.

"I'm your wife? Really?"

Cen Shichuan was visibly taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Otherwise what? You really want to leave me?"

Xu Wantang asked seriously, "What if that's the case?"

Cen Shichuan raised his eyes, his smile cold and ruthless: "No, you can't live without me. You probably don't want to go through those days of isolation and helplessness again."

"..."

The color drained from Xu Wantang's face little by little.

Cen Shichuan still had a smile on his face: "Wantang, you are only safe with me."

Another threat!

Xu Wantang clenched her fist and asked directly, "What about Xina?"

"She can't affect us."

Cen Shichuan seemed to be explaining, but he did not directly deny his relationship with Xina.

Xu Wantang couldn't help but sneer: "Since Third Young Master has said so, what else can I say? I'm going to practice my dance now."

As soon as she turned around, Cen Shichuan reached out and grabbed her, speaking slowly in the same tone he used when they first met.

"Wantang, I'm your Shichuan brother, trust me."

However, he also forbade her to call him "Brother Shichuan".

Just as she was happily waiting for him at the cake shop, he called to question her about why she had ruined Xu Chuxue's dance shoes and caused her to fall.

Xu Wantang said no, and he said, "How did you become like this?"

From then on, she never called him Shichuan-ge again.

Xu Wantang was still very sad.

I'm saddened by how foolish I was when I was so naive and in love with Cen Shichuan.

She looked at Cen Shichuan in the wheelchair: "Then I'll ask you one last question."

"it is good."

"Third Young Master, do you really believe I would drug my sister, climb into her bed, and kill her?"
