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

Xu Shengze stared at the swaying conference room door, then looked incredulously at Cen Shichuan across from him.

He actually only met with Cen Shichuan today to discuss cooperation.

But for some reason, Cen Yuan also came.

The moment Xu Shengze saw Cen Yuan, he felt inexplicably flustered.

After all these years, the cooperation between the Xu family and the Cen family has always been facilitated by Cen Shichuan through back channels.

He thought Cen Yuan had come over because he had discovered something.

result……

When did Cen Yuan become so familiar with Xu Wantang?

The rapid rolling of the wheelchair interrupted Xu Shengze's thoughts.

Xu Shengze quickly caught up with Cen Shichuan: "Shichuan, Wan Tang is definitely alright..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was forced back by Cen Shichuan's sinister gaze.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, after investigation, the elevator stopped between the third and fourth floors.

The elevator can only be opened from the outside.

When Cen Shichuan and Xu Shengze arrived, Cen Yuan immediately took off his coat and took the crowbar from the security guard.

Cen Shichuan said coldly, "Second Brother, Wan Tang is my wife."

Cen Yuan turned around and looked down at him, handing him the crowbar: "Here you go."

"..."

Cen Shichuan gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, his legs already straining.

But in the end, he still couldn't stand up.

He simply glanced at Xu Shengze beside him.

Xu Shengze immediately stepped forward: "Second Young Master, how can we let you come? Let's wait for the repairman to come."

Cen Yuan glanced at him, finding it too troublesome even to expose his hypocrisy.

"roll."

"..."

Xu Shengze was dumbfounded.

It is said that the Buddhist monk is aloof, but always polite to others.

Is this what you call polite?

The next moment, the sound of prying open the elevator door rang out.

Hearing the sound, Xu Wantang looked up in the direction of the sound.

"Someone's coming."

Li Shao, who was beside her, pulled her back, saying, "Miss Xu, be careful."

Before Xu Wantang could push him away, the elevator doors were pulled open.

Upon seeing who it was, she thought she was hallucinating because she was trapped.

They subconsciously revealed their deepest grievances and fears.

"Second Brother!"

Cen Yuan glanced at the man's hand resting on Xu Wantang's waist inside the elevator.

Her eyes narrowed, and she swept her cold gaze over the man.

Li Shao was startled and instinctively withdrew his hand.

"Second, Second Young Master."

Cen Yuan said in a deep voice, "Give her a hand."

"Yes, yes."

Li Shao almost knelt down so that Xu Wantang could step on him to get up.

Xu Wantang said thank you to Li Shao, and then Cen Yuan grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the elevator.

Still in shock, she didn't see Cen Shichuan and Xu Shengze at all; she just clung tightly to Cen Yuan's arm.

"What a lousy elevator! It scared me to death!"

She leaned against Cen Yuan's side, pursing her lips and scolding him softly.

Cen Yuan glanced at Li Shao climbing out of the elevator and said in a deep voice, "It's pretty run-down."

Xu Wantang looked up: "What are you doing here?"

Cen Yuan lowered his eyes: "Work."

"..."

Xu Wantang was taken aback.

As far as she knew, Cen Yuan and the Xu family had no cooperation; the only ones they cooperated with were…

She tilted her head and noticed Cen Shichuan and Xu Shengze a few steps away.

She didn't rush back; instead, she pinched Cen Yuan's arm.

It's so hard!

Why can't I squeeze it?

Cen Yuan frowned and looked at Xu Wantang.

Xu Wantang blinked: Why didn't you say they were there too?

Cen Yuan: Is it important?

Xu Wantang: Not important?

Cen Yuan's expression was extremely indifferent: It's not important.

Xu Wantang: ...

She saw a gap between restraint and rationality in Cen Yuan.

Very small, fleeting.

It felt like a hallucination.

"Wantang, come here."

Cen Shichuan's thoughts disrupted Xu Wantang's train of thought.

She looked up, thought for a few seconds, and then continued walking forward.

But she had only taken one step when Cen Yuan reached out and blocked her.

"You scraped your foot. Go sit down over there and have someone come and apply medicine."

"it is good."

Xu Wantang couldn't be happier than this.

She had absolutely no desire to play the role of a loving couple with Cen Shichuan.

After sitting down, Xu Shengze's assistant brought over a first-aid kit.

Xu Wantang applied the medicine herself.

Cen Shichuan suddenly spoke up: "Second brother, you seem to care quite a bit about Wantang."

Cen Yuan did not answer immediately, but calmly took the handkerchief that Lin Yue handed him and wiped the dirt off his face.

"If you say so, then so be it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wantang dropped the cotton swab in her hand to the ground.

Was she hallucinating?

Cen Yuan surprisingly did not deny it.

"Second Brother!" Cen Shichuan reminded him, his voice trembling with suppressed emotion.

"When you have time, tell Xu Shengze to thoroughly inspect the elevator."

Cen Yuan looked past Cen Shichuan at Xu Shengze.

The elevator malfunction didn't seem like a typical problem, and judging from the rescue and security personnel, they weren't in a hurry.

They obviously already knew everything would be alright.

Xu Shengze was terrified and nodded repeatedly: "I'll send someone to check immediately."

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Li Shao.

"Li Shao, thank you for protecting my sister just now."

"Young Master Xu, you're too kind. As long as Miss Xu is alright, that's all that matters." Li Shao looked at Xu Wantang.

"I'll treat you to dinner next time. You go ahead and get busy," Xu Shengze waved his hand.

"it is good."

Li Shao didn't say anything more and left directly.

Xu Wantang vaguely felt that Li Shao seemed to glance at her as he left.

But when she looked up, Li Shao had already gone downstairs.

Xu Shengze walked up to her: "Wantang, are you alright?"

"It's alright, you guys go ahead and do your work."

Xu Wantang slowly stood up.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xu Shengze quickly said, "Then let's continue the meeting. Wan Tang, you can listen in too."

"This... um."

Xu Wantang looked at the three men and nodded.

As he entered the conference room, Cen Shichuan waved.

"Wantang, sit next to me."

Xu Wantang hesitated.

Xu Shengze pulled out the chair next to him and said, "Wantang is here to learn, so it's better for her to sit next to me."

Xu Wantang knew that he didn't want her to sit with Cen Shichuan.

Just then, she saw Cen Yuan glance at the seat opposite her.

She quickly pulled out a chair: "I'll sit here and mainly listen in, so as not to disturb your business."

Seeing her take her seat, Xu Shengze and Cen Shichuan didn't say anything more and started the next part of the meeting.

Xu Wantang felt sleepy after listening.

She's fine with organizing documents, but when it comes to hearing any plans or proposals, her mind goes blank.

Halfway through the conversation, her head started bobbing like a chicken pecking at rice, and then she fell asleep on the table.

Xu Shengze called out several times, "Wantang, Wantang..."

Cen Yuan flipped through the documents and said calmly, "No need to shout, she won't understand."

Snapped!

Cen Shichuan slammed the document shut.

Xu Wantang was startled and rubbed her temples, pretending that she had just been lost in thought and looked up.

"What's wrong?"

Cen Shichuan's jaw tightened. "Wantang, go get us a cup of coffee."

"Um."

Xu Wantang couldn't understand it anyway, so she went out for some fresh air.

She got up and left.

Cen Shichuan stared at Cen Yuan opposite him: "Second Brother, what do you mean? Are you telling others that you know my wife better than I do?"

"Really? Don't you know?" Cen Yuan retorted.

"you……"

Cen Shichuan choked.

"Xu Shengze, your proposal is rejected."

"Second Young Master, the Third Young Master has already reviewed this plan; all that's left is to sign the contract."

Xu Shengze stood up to explain.

Cen Yuan glanced at Cen Shichuan: "Then you should ask him for payment. I won't go through with this kind of cooperation. I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he left without any hesitation.

Xu Shengze and Cen Shichuan were left behind with grim expressions.

When Cen Yuan passed by the tea room, he saw Xu Wantang standing in front of the coffee machine, lost in thought.

Just as Lin Yue was about to greet him, Cen Yuan raised his hand to stop him, signaling him to leave.

The two entered the elevator, and Lin Yue finally spoke.

"Second Young Master, why didn't you greet the Young Madam? You were just pretending to go against the Third Young Master to let the Xu family know the Young Madam's importance and prevent them from acting recklessly, weren't you?"

Cen Yuan raised his eyes and said coldly, "Not entirely."

"That……"

Lin Yue was surprised again when she saw the deep meaning in his eyes.

He wasn't just pretending to be confrontational; he genuinely wanted to confront them.

Cen Yuan stroked his prayer beads, concealing his expression: "Investigate Li Shao."
