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

Cen Shichuan stared at the pastry; the pattern on it was different from the one Cen Yuan had eaten.

However, judging from the filling visible through the thin skin, the filling should be the same inside.

But for some reason, he just felt that everything was different.

"Now you know to give it to me?" Cen Shichuan said calmly.

Xu Wantang was baffled; she hadn't expected Cen Shichuan to be so arrogant.

"Fine, since you don't want to..."

"Give me."

Cen Shichuan snatched it away and started eating.

"Tokikawa!"

Xu Shengze tried to stop it, but it was too late.

Cen Shichuan chuckled: "It's alright, it's my wife who gave it to me, I have to eat it no matter how bad it tastes."

He was so focused on looking at Xu Wantang that he didn't notice that Xu Shengze had beads of sweat on his forehead.

A few seconds later, Xu Shengze's phone rang. He glanced at the message and quickly leaned close to Cen Shichuan's ear to whisper something.

"The pain from the first snow has started again."

Once or twice, Cen Shichuan would believe Xu Chuxue.

But if this happens every time, how could he not know what Xu Chuxue is thinking?

He looked up at Xu Shengze and said, "Then let's go to the hospital to see a doctor."

Xu Shengze hesitated for a moment, then explained, "Chu Xue only listens to you. She won't go to the hospital unless she sees you. Go and try to persuade her."

"Then don't go."

This was the first time Cen Shichuan had been so forceful.

Xu Shengze was sweating profusely, afraid that the time would be delayed too long.

Seeing this, Xu Wantang deliberately stepped forward.

"Brother, you don't look well. I'm tired too, so I'll go with you to the rest room to rest for a bit."

At this moment, Xu Chuxue was in the lounge.

Xu Wantang glanced around and found that Zheng Yuzhu was not there either; she must be with her precious daughter.

If she goes, won't the secret be exposed?

Xu Shengze quickly looked at Cen Shichuan.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Cen Shichuan finally chose to protect Xu Chuxue.

"Your brother and I need to discuss some work. Don't go. Keep your dad company while he entertains us. We'll be right back."

"Well... okay."

Xu Wantang couldn't hide her disappointment and took a step back.

After turning around, Cen Shichuan felt a sense of unease, as if today was not a good day.

He raised his hand to signal Lu Jiu, who was pushing the wheelchair, to stop, and then turned to look at Xu Wantang.

"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

"Um."

fart.

When he went to Xu Chuxue's side, did he ever come back quickly?

However, judging from Xu Shengze's expression, there was something wrong with that pastry as well.

They really went all out.

So what comes next should be...

"Miss Xu, what a coincidence, I was just about to offer you a toast as well."

Sure enough, Li Shao took the stage.

Xu Wantang glanced at his wine glass and smiled slightly: "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom now."

"Then why don't we drink this cup first and then go?" Li Shao offered a suggestion.

"What do you think? It's so ungentlemanly for a man to block a woman from going to the restroom, Manager Li."

Xu Wantang discovered that Li Shao was actually quite concerned about his reputation.

Whether his gentlemanly manners are genuine or not.

At least on the surface, he did a very good job.

Li Shao stepped back and said, "Then Miss Xu, please go ahead. I'll wait for you."

"it is good."

Xu Wantang turned and left the banquet hall.

She then ran to the restroom, not knowing how Cen Yuan was doing.

……

Men's restroom.

Ji Yan closed the door and knocked on the cubicle.

As the door opened, the man's face flushed slightly, and his dark eyes were so deep they were frightening, yet they seemed to be covered with a layer of diamonds, drawing anyone who looked into them.

Ji Yan grabbed his wrist and took a deep breath: "You really have been staying in the mountains for too long, you actually fell for this thing."

"Being fooled? Not necessarily."

Cen Yuan withdrew his hand and leaned against the door frame to catch his breath.

Then he looked at Lin Yue, who was guarding the gate.

After realizing what he wanted to do, Lin Yue paused for a few seconds before leaving the restroom.

Ji Yan snapped out of her daze and exclaimed in shock, "You...you did this on purpose! That's unacceptable! You may not have broken the law, but you should at least have some morals, shouldn't you? You should at least have some humanity, shouldn't you?"

"Um."

Cen Yuan nodded perfunctorily and stood in front of the pool to wash his hands.

Ji Yan was at a loss: "Are you sure? You copied so many scriptures?"

"If I'd known it was useless, I wouldn't have copied it."

"..." Ji Yan sighed, rubbing his forehead. "When did it start?"

"I'll ask later," Cen Yuan said calmly.

His expression and tone were exactly the same as when he was an ambitious and arrogant eighteen-year-old boy.

But after he went up the mountain that year, he seemed like a completely different person.

Calm and quiet.

Everyone is used to describing his solitude with the phrase "Buddhist disciple's sudden enlightenment of the world".

He was too lazy to explain.

Over time, people have forgotten the boy who once shook the capital.

Although Ji Yan always supports her best friend, this matter...

"Is she willing?"

Cen Yuan wiped his hands, his fingers brushing against the Buddhist prayer beads.

I remembered my master's words.

"Nothing can be forced."

but……

"Didn't she provoke me first?"

Cen Yuan raised his eyes, tucked the Buddhist beads into his sleeve, and his eyes held only deep meaning.

Ji Yanqian laughed: "You're ruthless."

Cen Yuan turned around: "I'll leave the rest to you."

"I... okay, well, what can I do when I'm part of the support group?"

Ji Yan rubbed his forehead, and when he came to his senses, Cen Yuan had already left.

after that.

Xu Wantang arrived.

Ji Yan rushed out of the restroom, looking anxious: "You've come at the right time? What did the Second Young Master eat?"

"It's... a snack."

"Would a dessert be like that?" Ji Yan asked back.

"What?"

"It's... the look of someone whose heart is fluttering with spring fever," Ji Yan described softly.

Xu Wantang pursed her lips; it really was that kind of medicine.

So this is what the Xu family calls their method of divorce.

Since her reputation is already ruined, it doesn't matter if it gets even worse.

It was just a hardship for Cen Yuan.

"I'm sorry, Discipline Instructor, I didn't know it would turn out this way." Xu Wantang clenched her hands. "Should we find someone to help the Second Young Master?"

"I...cough cough cough! What did you say? Who am I looking for? I'm a lawyer, not a brothel madam."

Ji Yan coughed twice and raised his hand to interrupt.

The last time Xu Wantang encountered something like this was when Cen Shichuan was drugged.

But she really didn't drug him, and she was unconscious the whole time, so she had no idea what happened.

"Aren't you a man? You should know better."

"Didn't you get married? How could you not understand?" Ji Yan retorted.

"I...I don't understand. Am I supposed to solve this myself?"

"Okay. Come with me."

"what?"

Xu Wantang was dumbfounded, and Ji Yan dragged her into the elevator.

"Discipline Officer, are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, Xu Wantang. Things have come to this. Let me ask you one question: don't you have any feelings for him at all?"

"I……"

"Don't bring up your married status. If you really knew you were married, why did you get involved with him? Anyway, he helped you eat this snack, so you have to help him. If some shady people take advantage of the situation, your lifelong reputation as a Buddhist disciple will be ruined."

Ji Yan's words became increasingly serious.

Xu Wantang also felt a little guilty.

It was indeed she who deliberately approached Cen Yuan.

"Okay, I'll go, but you... have to testify for me that I didn't drug him, and I didn't mean to do anything inappropriate to him. I'm just going to see if there's anything I can do to help. I don't intend to do anything shady."

After she finished speaking, her face turned red.

Ji Yan suppressed a laugh, his face serious: "Go quickly, here's your room key."

Xu Wantang took the room key and went upstairs while her mind wandered.

When she reached the door, she hesitated for a moment before pushing it open.
