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

After saying that, Xu Chuxue didn't forget to explain.

"I heard it from the dance troupe. Wan Tang told everyone what kind of man she likes, and it's Manager Li, isn't it?"

She observed the expressions on Cen Shichuan's and Cen Yuan's faces.

Cen Shichuan had always trusted her, and just from those two sentences, his eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

As for Cen Yuan...

Xu Chuxue could never see through this man; he showed no emotion or turmoil.

He seemed to have the same expression on everyone's face—cold and aloof.

This at least shows that he was indifferent to Xu Wantang.

After the speech, Xu Wantang and Xu Shengze joined Xu's parents for socializing.

Socializing often involves drinking.

Xu Wantang was deliberately careful; after Xu Shengze brought her a glass of champagne, she secretly switched it with another.

However, drinking on an empty stomach makes my stomach feel really uncomfortable.

Just then, she saw a waiter carrying pastries past her and immediately waved to him.

The waiter stopped beside her with a plate.

Upon seeing this, Xu Shengze smiled and said, "I'm also a bit hungry. We might be drinking later, so let's grab a bite together."

Xu Wantang nodded, picked up a piece, and prepared to put it in her mouth.

"Young Master Xu."

The cool, detached tone interrupted her movements.

Cen Yuan walked over with a wine glass in his hand, accompanied by Cen Shichuan and Xu Chuxue.

Xu Shengze raised his glass and greeted her, "Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Wan Tang is hungry. I'll keep her company so we can have something to eat. After all, we still have to toast later."

Xu Wantang squeezed the pastry in her hand. What a small world!

She didn't want to pay attention, and was about to eat when Cen Yuan slowly spoke up: "Looks good, let me try some."

"..."

Xu Wantang was stunned.

Does he even know what he's saying?

When he came to his senses, Cen Yuan had already reached out his hand.

She quickly said, "I'll call the waiter..."

Huh?

The waiter was just wandering around, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Xu Shengze looked flustered for a moment and quickly handed over his snacks.

"Second Young Master, why don't you eat mine? I haven't eaten yet."

Cen Yuan glanced at the pastry in his hand: "I prefer the pattern on the one Xu Wantang is holding; it has a good meaning. Can't I eat it?"

Xu Wantang stepped forward, handed him the small plate, and whispered, "Second Brother, when did you start liking sweets?"

I tried ice cream cake once and thought it was pretty good.

Cen Yuan reached out and took the plate.

To everyone's surprise, Cen Shichuan stared at the pastries, his brows and eyes filled with anger.

"Second brother, I'll have someone prepare some snacks for you again. After all, Wan Tang is my wife, and I'd like to try some of hers too."

Cen Yuan slowly lifted the plate, glancing at the people around him out of the corner of his eye.

The plate had just been handed to Cen Shichuan when he took it back: "Why didn't you say so before? These days, nobody's stupid enough to just give away what they've got, right?"

Ok?

Cen Yuan seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words.

Xu Wantang felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.

Before she could even speak, Xu Shengze had already stepped forward.

"This snack is a hotel specialty. I didn't expect it to be so popular. But it tastes best when it's hot. Wan Tang hasn't eaten anything yet, so let her have some first. I'll have someone send some more to the Second and Third Young Masters."

Xu Chuxue, also staring at the snacks, chimed in, "Second Young Master, Third Young Master, I think Wan Tang doesn't look too well either. Let her eat first."

After saying that, she reached out to take the plate of pastries.

Cen Yuan frowned in disgust, moved his hand away, circled around it, and returned to Cen Shichuan's side.

"I think you're right. After all, Xu Wantang is your wife. You should eat first, so that outsiders won't have any questions. You eat."

The sudden change left Xu Wantang somewhat bewildered.

What exactly does Cen Yuan want to do?

Cen Shichuan looked at the pastries and reached out to take them.

But before he could even touch the plate, Xu Chuxue let out a soft cry and casually put her arm around Cen Shichuan's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Third Young Master, my high heels don't fit properly."

She was talking about high heels, but her eyes were filled with a mixture of shyness and anger as she looked at Cen Shichuan.

He didn't want Cen Shichuan to eat Xu Wantang's food in public.

Cen Shichuan did not respond to Xu Chuxue immediately, but looked at Xu Wantang instead.

After receiving their gazes, Xu Wantang felt that the atmosphere among them was strangely eerie.

Cen Shichuan wouldn't be waiting for her to get jealous, would he?

Xu Wantang pretended not to notice: "The snacks are indeed a bit cold."

Cen Shichuan's eyes turned cold, and he forcefully lowered his hand: "Fine, I won't eat it. Who wants to eat water?"

Xu Chuxue immediately stepped forward: "Wantang, you should eat it yourself."

Xu Wantang was stunned; this was the first time Xu Chuxue had shown such concern for her.

But she wasn't foolish enough to believe Xu Chuxue.

As she was thinking, someone picked up the pastry in front of her and stuffed it into their mouth.

Cen Yuan ate it without hesitation.

After he swallowed the snack, Xu Chuxue and Xu Shengze's expressions turned extremely unpleasant.

Xu Wantang was even more certain that there was something wrong with the snacks.

She immediately signaled to Cen Yuan.

To everyone's surprise, Cen Yuan casually put down the plate and said, "Not bad, let's have a drink together."

Xu Wantang saw him raise his glass and bit her lip.

You still dare to drink?

Cen Shichuan said coldly, "Second Brother, you seem to be in a good mood today."

Cen Yuan swirled his empty wine glass, exuding a composed yet imposing aura.

"It's fine. You guys chat, I'm going to the restroom."

After saying that, Cen Yuan put down the book and turned to leave.

Xu Wantang was a little worried and wanted to find an excuse to leave.

But as soon as she turned around, Cen Shichuan grabbed her.

"Where are we going? I'll go with you to meet the guests."

His words were as if he, as the son-in-law, was now in charge of the business.

But who cares?

Even after he had been there for so long, the Xu family had never once asked him to accompany them to social events.

Clearly, he didn't want people to think that he and Xu Wantang had a good relationship.

Since everyone has made their choice, why pretend?

But with so many people here, she couldn't show any dissatisfaction first.

She only glanced at Xu Chuxue, whose hands were clasped tightly together.

"Great! We haven't properly introduced each other to everyone since we got married. There are many important clients of the Xu family here. With you here, they will definitely give the Xu family and me some face in the future, right?"

These words sound like flattery to Cen Shichuan, but they were actually meant for Xu Chuxue and Xu Shengze.

Cen Shichuan looked at Xu Wantang, his brows relaxing slightly.

"Um."

Xu Chuxue was naturally unhappy to hear this.

"Ouch, my feet hurt so much. These high heels are so hard to wear."

"Go and rest over there," Cen Shichuan said, frowning.

"..."

Xu Chuxue paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go first then."

She left reluctantly.

Xu Wantang pretended not to see anything, stood on either side of Cen Shichuan, and casually pulled Xu Shengze along.

"Brother, let's go."

"Wantang, you haven't eaten anything yet, here's a snack for you." Xu Shengze said with a doting expression, perfectly embodying the image of a good older brother.

Xu Wantang glanced at the snacks in front of her: "I'm not that hungry anymore."

Without saying a word, Xu Shengze shoved the pastries into her hands: "Eat quickly, the Third Young Master is still here. People will think that his older brother has mistreated you."

Xu Wantang thought for a moment, then turned around and handed the snacks to Cen Shichuan.

"Third Young Master, didn't you want to eat this? I won't eat this piece, you can have it."
