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

Xu Wantang crumpled a corner of the thin blanket.

"My mom was in a car accident, and she said she wants to see me."

"Um."

That was forced.

"That's it? Aren't you going to ask anything else?" Xu Wantang was somewhat surprised.

"Then what do you say?"

As he spoke, Cen Yuan leaned back slightly.

His neck was clearly defined and sharp, his skin had a cool-toned texture, and his Adam's apple bobbed with his deep voice.

It carries a certain tension.

Xu Wantang couldn't help but stare at his Adam's apple; the more she looked, the faster her heart beat.

Before her cheeks could turn uncontrollably red, she quickly raised her hand to cover them.

But they forgot that they were still clutching the thin blanket.

As soon as she raised her hand, the thin blanket slipped off her shoulders, revealing her nightgown.

Cen Yuan only glanced at it; it suited her well, but he didn't look closely.

Looking at it now, it not only fits, but it seems tailor-made.

The pattern is a bit childish, but the style is very unique.

It appears loose, but it is actually shapely and adorned with delicate lace.

The most fatal mistake is to reveal something but not do it.

But he accidentally bumped his head under the table.

She immediately covered her head, exclaiming, "Ouch, it hurts so much!"

On the other end, Cen Yuan looked at the empty camera and began to observe Xu Wantang's room.

The bed is average, but it's a single bed.

The wardrobe was old, the door wouldn't close, and it only contained women's clothes.

As for the desk.

It's badly worn, and the open photo album is a bit of an eyesore.

Cen Shichuan.

Oh.

The man twirled the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist, his eyes darkening slightly.

Xu Wantang rubbed her head, draped a thin blanket over herself, and was about to get up when Cen Yuan's calm voice came from the phone above her head.

"It's late, get some rest."

beep.

It's over.

Xu Wantang propped herself up on the table and looked at the blacked-out screen in front of her.

Why did she feel that Cen Yuan was acting a little strange?

Just then, she saw the photo album that Cen Shichuan had spread out on the table.

She recalled the photos Cen Shichuan posted on his WeChat Moments, which were utterly disgraceful.

She simply and decisively threw the photo album deep into the closet.

If we throw it away now, the Xu family will easily discover something amiss.

Fortunately, she's been safe for the past few days.

After taking care of the situation, Xu Wantang lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

For the next two days, Cen Shichuan went to see Xu Chuxue but there was no further news.

Xu Wantang went to the dance troupe for practice as usual and continued to be a dutiful daughter when she returned home.

Seeing that she really wanted to return to the Xu family, the Xu family couldn't wait any longer.

When they returned home that day, a sumptuous dinner was laid out on the table.

Zheng Yuzhu took Xu Wantang's hand and invited him to sit next to her.

"Wantang, you've worked hard these past two days. Mom specially asked someone to make your favorite dishes. Come and try them."

"Um."

Xu Wantang didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to eat.

The two men on the other side exchanged a glance.

Xu Shengze asked, "Wantang, what are your plans after the divorce?"

Xu Wantang slowly swallowed the food in her mouth: "Keep dancing, I don't plan to get married."

That's exactly what she thought.

But Xu Shengze was clearly not satisfied with her answer.

"No way, how can a girl like you not get married?"

Xu Wantang looked up at him and saw guilt in his eyes.

He wasn't concerned about just one girl like himself; he was concerned that Xu Chuxue would be unhappy if she didn't marry another man and settle down.

They wanted to eliminate any future trouble.

Xu Wantang pretended not to understand and asked in return, "Brother, then what do you think I should do?"

Xu Shengze looked at his parents with an understanding expression: "Dancing is a career that relies on youth. You can't dance forever, so I discussed it with Mom and Dad and asked you to come into the company to help me. After all, the company will need the two of us siblings to support it in the future."

Join the company?

This is the funniest thing Xu Wantang has ever heard.

Throughout her life, the Xu family has never given her any opportunity to contact the company.

Even if she was only ten years old and wanted to go into the study to print an application form, Zheng Yuzhu would say that she had impure thoughts and bad intentions.

Later, she helped Xu Shengze, who had been reprimanded, organize his documents.

Xu Shengze said, "Wantang, you need to be more discreet. You should learn from Chuxue; she would never touch my documents."

Yes, Xu Chuxue won't touch it.

To be precise, Xu Chuxue didn't want to help him at all, so she always said that she couldn't touch the company documents.

Xu Shengze said that Xu Wantang had no sense of propriety.

When have we ever not used the files she organized?

But when he turned around, he praised Xu Chuxue the most in front of Cen Shichuan.

Thinking of this, Xu Wantang looked troubled: "Brother, are you joking?"

Xu Shengze put down his chopsticks and looked at her seriously: "Wantang, I'm not joking. I know your dance troupe's rehearsal schedule. In your spare time, you can come to the company with me to learn."

Mr. Xu nodded in agreement: "Wantang, you are my daughter. Our Xu family has always treated everyone equally, and we will give you everything that is due."

"Yes, yes, your father and brother value you so much, so don't refuse."

Zheng Yuzhu served Xu Wantang food while agreeing with him.

Looking at the scene before her, Xu Wantang had the illusion that they were such a happy family all along.

But it was just an illusion.

Xu Wantang was eager to know what they were up to, so she pretended to think for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"Then come to the company tomorrow to familiarize yourself with the facilities."

Xu Shengze smiled, clearly relieved.

……

The next day.

Xu Wantang arrived at the Xu family as promised, thanks to Cen Shichuan's help over the past few years.

The Xu family had long since reached a higher level, owning its own company building.

Xu Wantang walked into the company, and a man in his early thirties walked over to her.

"Miss Xu, hello. Mr. Xu is in a meeting and asked me to come and pick you up."

Xu Wantang glanced at the badge on his chest.

Sales Manager, Li Shao.

"Hello, Manager Li."

"You're too kind. Just call me Li Shao. I'll take you to Young Master Xu's office."

Li Shao glanced at Xu Wantang, and after being amazed, he very gentlemanly gestured for her to enter.

"Thanks."

Xu Wantang didn't notice anything amiss for the time being, nor did he make things difficult for Li Shao.

After all, they're just working people.

Li Shao led her into the elevator, but to his surprise, the elevator started shaking violently after going up only two floors.

Xu Wantang lost her balance and bumped into Li Shao's arms.

Li Shao immediately helped her up: "Miss Xu, are you alright?"

"fine."

Xu Wantang held onto the elevator, subtly withdrawing her hand.

Immediately afterwards, the elevator started shaking.

Li Shao put his arm around her and comforted her, "Miss Xu, don't worry, it's probably just an elevator malfunction. I'll get help."

He raised his hand and pressed the emergency button.

"Hello, security office, what's up?"

"There's something wrong with elevator number three. Can you send someone over to check it out? I'm currently trapped inside with a young lady," Li Shao explained patiently.

"Okay, we're almost there. Don't move around too much, just in case you fall."

"Yes."

Li Shao glanced at Xu Wantang in his arms and said in a low voice, "Miss Xu, please bear with us for a moment. We'll try our best to stay still."

"Um."

Since it involved comforting others, Hsu Wan-tang didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

But she still took out her phone, wanting to dial 119 just in case.

Unfortunately, there was no cell phone signal, so I could only wait there.

……

meeting room.

Xu Shengze looked at the two men opposite him.

"Second Young Master, Third Young Master, it's an honor that you two could take the time to come. This time we..."

We had barely gotten to the point when the assistant knocked and entered.

"Young Master Xu, the elevator is malfunctioning, and Miss is trapped inside."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure had already left the conference room.
