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

Is that correct?

Xu Wantang thought of many logical and reasonable answers, but he couldn't come up with this one.

She cleared her throat as Cen Yuan stared at her: "I don't actually like that type of man. That was just youthful ignorance and nonsense."

"Oh……"

He responded in a low voice.

Xu Wantang pushed him away: "You're making fun of me again. Have you been laughing at me behind my back all this time?"

Cen Yuan casually shifted his body a couple of times.

"No, I'm just curious why you contacted me."

"Besides you, I don't know who else I can turn to."

Xu Wantang didn't say that the two of them originally had no connection at all.

Even if I told you, no one would believe me.

Cen Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "Then tell me about you and Cen Shichuan, and about that Xina..."

"She's not Sheena, she's my sister, Xu Chuxue. It all started with..."

Xu Wantang told Cen Yuan everything she knew.

Finally, she added the most devastating sentence.

"Cen Shichuan is not disabled either, but I have no evidence to prove that."

"How did you know that?" Cen Yuan stared at her.

"I...I know Xu Chuxue, that's all I know, but I can't explain the car accident or what happened at the engagement banquet."

Xu Wantang didn't know how to explain it.

After pondering for a moment, Cen Yuan turned around and placed the milk glass on the bedside table.

"Perhaps I can add something. Before Cen Shichuan's car accident, something else happened to the Cen family."

"What is it?" Xu Wantang looked up curiously.

"A foreign project he and your brother were working on has run into serious problems. In an effort to cut costs, they crossed the legal red line of another country, and the embassy sent the message back first."

"This... there's absolutely no news from within the country." Xu Wantang was somewhat surprised.

"I was pressured by the Cen family. They came up the mountain to find me and asked me to negotiate. I barely managed to end this matter by paying compensation, and the project was barely passed."

When Cen Yuan spoke of this matter, his tone was cold and weary.

Clearly, as the second brother, this wasn't the first time he had helped the Cen family, or rather, Cen Shichuan, clean up their messes.

Grandpa Cen has five children.

But none of these five children met a good end.

The eldest son and grandson were lost at sea, leaving only the first wife to guard the main house.

The second son, Cen Yuan's father, died suddenly of a heart attack. His second wife was devastated and suffered a mental breakdown, so she moved to a sanatorium. Later, Cen Yuan also left the Cen family and went to the mountains to cultivate himself.

The third son, Cen Shichuan's father, has been handling business abroad and I heard that his health is not very good.

The four sons died young.

The five daughters married far away overseas and rarely returned.

All things considered, Cen Shichuan's family was the most fulfilled and the most spirited.

This is probably why Grandpa Cen favored Cen Shichuan the most.

Over the years, whenever Xu Wantang heard reports about Cen Shichuan, they were always associated with words like "strategic planning" and "successful decision-making."

In addition, Cen Shichuan was flawless.

He certainly gives the impression of being a capable and successful leader.

Xu Wantang frowned: "No wonder I haven't seen you even though you've been back at the Cen family for a year. But, is what you're talking about related to what I'm saying?"

"Cen Shichuan lost a lot, including your brother and the Lin family. Even if Grandpa forced him to take over the company, there would be people who disagreed. He needs time to recuperate."

Cen Yuan didn't explain himself clearly.

But Xu Wantang already understood.

His engagement was ruined by a car accident, and he lost his beloved.

It all seems like Xu Wantang is crazy about love.

In reality, almost all of her goodwill was placed on Cen Shichuan.

He lost prestige due to poor decision-making, but his popularity did not diminish over the course of the year.

It could even be said that his disability has actually garnered him more supporters.

No wonder that in his dream, three years later, he not only did not diminish his power, but also used his disability, ambition, and affectionate persona to check and balance Cen Yuan, who was at the center of power.

He uses people's hearts.

These people need a sacrifice to push the matter to the top of public opinion so that they can stand on the high ground and enjoy everything.

Xu Wantang was this victim.

All of these explanations make sense, but...

"Although most of it matches up, I remember very clearly what happened before the engagement incident. There was nothing wrong between Cen Shichuan and Xu Chuxue, and Xu Chuxue's hatred for me after losing her child couldn't be faked. Besides, it's true that Cen Shichuan injured his leg."

He can pretend, but there's no need to actually hurt himself like that.

Cen Yuan: "I will find out. Before that, have you forgotten something?"

Xu Wantang asked, puzzled, "What is it?"

"Fake certificate."

"It's in the hands of the third wife, but the Xu family said they can help me get a divorce," Xu Wantang said.

"So that's why you went back to the Xu family?"

"Um."

After she finished speaking, she noticed that Cen Yuan had his arms propped up on either side of her, staring intently at her.

She leaned back against the headboard: "What, what are you doing?"

Cen Yuan lowered his long eyelashes slightly, revealing a hint of something in his eyes: "Aren't we going back to reminisce about girlish thoughts?"

"..."

Xu Wantang pulled the blanket over herself completely.

"Can we please stop talking about it? I've already embarrassed myself enough."

Cen Yuan stared at the bulge in the blanket: "So you only remember... what happened between you and him before?"

"Uh-huh."

Xu Wantang nodded from under the covers.

After she finished answering, there was no sound from outside the blanket.

She shifted slightly, and suddenly a corner of the blanket was lifted, revealing the man's handsome, deep eyes.

He whispered, "Do you remember what just happened?"

Xu Wantang: "..."

They stared at each other for a long time, her cheeks flushed, which said it all—she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.

Changing the subject, he asked, "Should we offer some prayers?"

Cen Yuan lifted the corner of the blanket, raising an eyebrow: "Why?"

"I feel a little sorry for your master."

"..."

Cen Yuan curled his lips and crawled into the covers to lie down.

Xu Wantang was startled: "What are you doing?"

"sleep."

"Shall we sleep together?"

"Or sleep in the bathtub?"

"..."

Xu Wantang obediently lay down, her body was very tired, but her mind was very clear.

Who exactly said that Cen Yuan was composed and abstinent?

I wonder how things are downstairs.

ha~

Cen Yuan, who had said he was going to sleep, opened his eyes.

He looked at the person in his arms, his gaze gradually becoming serious.

Has she forgotten that she and Cen Shichuan signed a legitimate marriage application, and that a fake certificate could be replaced at any time?

This is more troublesome than divorce.

We still need to investigate each matter one by one.

……

lounge.

After Cen Shichuan got up, he was only covered with a thin blanket.

Xu Chuxue was lying beside him.

He rubbed his temples: "What happened?"

Xu Chuxue pressed the blanket against her chest: "I don't know, I only remember you coming into the lounge and drinking water the whole time, then you pushed me down onto the sofa..."

This was also part of Xu Chuxue's plan.

She waited a few days until her ovulation period before planning to get pregnant again.

Once she becomes pregnant, Cen Shichuan will have to take responsibility for her.

As for Xu Wantang...

She naturally became a divorced woman who had cheated on her husband.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Second Young Master, we caught someone near the lounge," Lu Jiu's voice rang out.

"Go wait for me next door."

Cen Shichuan immediately got up and dressed.

Xu Chuxue thought her plan had succeeded, so she quickly added fuel to the fire.

"Who is it? This is a lounge that my brother specially reserved for Mom, Dad, and me. There's even a sign outside. Why would anyone come here? Unless they have permission from our family."

Cen Shichuan paused, remembering that he had eaten snacks and drinks before he felt hot and restless.

Is it...

He quickly dressed and immediately got into his wheelchair and went out.

Lu Jiu lowered her head: "It's the man I saw at the Xu family's, Li Shao. He just came out of the next room, his clothes disheveled."
