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

"It's not that bad, it has to be like this..."

Cen Yuan lowered his head, and their noses touched slightly.

He then kissed him.

Xu Wantang was somewhat confused and infatuated. Her hands moved helplessly down his arm, but she only touched his watch.

I didn't touch the prayer beads.

She whispered, "You picked them?"

Cen Yuan's breath was hot: "Yes, you're not afraid."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wantang's chest trembled slightly, and she found that Cen Yuan, beneath his indifferent exterior, was actually quite adorable.

She tugged at his tie: "So, does that mean I can do bad things?"

"..."

Cen Yuanming knew she was teasing him, but he still couldn't control his emotions.

Once you've eaten meat, it seems impossible to go back to being a vegetarian.

"What bad thing are you planning to do?"

Xu Wantang rolled over and pinned him down, her long hair flying behind her as she leaned closer to him.

"that's all."

I didn't do anything, I just leaned against him and closed my eyes.

Xu Wantang felt especially safe when he held her before.

Cen Yuan didn't mind and simply pulled the cashmere blanket over her.

"Go to sleep."

Xu Wantang quickly fell silent.

When I woke up the next day, Cen Yuan was already gone.

Xu Wantang stretched, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Xu Wantang, the Third Madam is back and wants you to come over."

"it is good."

Xu Wantang still prefers the days when Lin Manzhi visits her parents' home.

After washing up and eating a couple of bites of breakfast, she went to Lin Manzhi's courtyard.

Lin Manzhi is still practicing yoga.

Xu Wantang put down the bird's nest: "Third Madam, the head chef said he's quite busy today, so the bird's nest was prepared in advance. He wanted you to finish it early."

Lin Manzhi looked much better than before, nodded, and turned to go into the house.

After sitting down, she began to drink bird's nest soup.

Xu Wantang was about to take her leave when two maids pushed over a clothes rack and a shoe rack.

"Madam, your husband is coming home today. What would you like to wear?"

Cen Shichuan's father is back.

Upon hearing this, Lin Manzhi immediately got up and began making arrangements.

"There are a lot of people coming back today, and these clothes won't do. Go to the safe in the dressing room and get me a jade set, and then pair it with that light green silk dress with a subtle floral pattern."

The maid nodded: "And the high heels?"

Lin Manzhi glanced at the shoe rack: "No, go get those nude high heels from C brand."

"Madam, you bought three pairs in total. They said the height could vary depending on the order. What height do you want?"

"I'll be walking a lot today, so I'll just use two 7cm ones."

"You really have no sense of propriety."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wantang immediately stepped forward.

"Third Madam, I'll go over and help you out, and I'll also iron your long dress for you."

"Um."

Lin Manzhi waved.

Xu Wantang then followed the maid to the master bedroom.

She ironed her clothes while the maid went to fetch the jewelry.

She had been to this room many times, but each time she was cautious and apprehensive, never daring to look around or linger.

At this moment, she looked around very carefully.

She noticed a slight gap in Lin Manzhi's dressing table next to her. She turned the table around to iron her clothes and saw what was in the gap.

Marriage certificate.

Xu Wantang was overjoyed.

She desperately wanted to obtain evidence to break away from Cen Shichuan.

Just as she hesitated, the maid took the high heels and jewelry out.

Xu Wantang glanced at it, then froze on the spot.

Those high heels... weren't they worn by the woman standing with Lin Zhuozhong on the rooftop?

That day, she didn't see the woman's clothes, but the woman's high heels were reflected in the glass as she left.

These are the pairs.

Lin Manzhi said the high heels were custom-made.

Obviously, this is something anyone can buy.

As she pondered, Xu Wantang recalled Cen Yuan's reminder from the previous night.

She quickly looked away and then bent down to iron the clothes.

Although Lin Manzhi was not as clever as Cen Shichuan, she was always wary of Xu Wantang.

It's impossible to leave a gap here.

Furthermore, there are no names on the surface of the marriage certificate.

But as soon as she opened the drawer, Lin Manzhi had an excuse.

Xu Wantang finished ironing the clothes, shook them out, and turned to leave the master bedroom.

"Third Madam, the clothes are ironed. Please take a look and see if there's anything else that needs ironing."

Lin Manzhi was drinking tea when she saw her carrying clothes and subconsciously glanced towards the master bedroom.

"Just leave it hanging, I'll wear it after I rest for a bit."

"Okay, I'll head back now."

Xu Wantang hung up her clothes and turned to leave.

Lin Manzhi immediately got up and went into the room. She leaned closer to look at the edge of the drawer, where she had sprinkled a thin layer of loose powder, which could only be seen from the side.

The fact that it is still intact means that Xu Wantang did not touch the drawer.

She got up and dialed Cen Shichuan's number.

"She left and didn't move. Aren't you overthinking it?"

"She's been acting really strange lately. She's been very casual with me, with Xina, and with the Xu family. I'm worried she's discovered something," Cen Shichuan explained.

"So what if she's been found? What kind of trouble can she possibly cause?"

"Mom, even if she made me disabled, once the fake marriage is exposed, I will be accused of marriage fraud. The public will only sympathize with the weak, not with someone who commits marriage fraud. Besides, she is not pregnant, so I can't control her."

Lin Manzhi sensed something amiss and retorted, "Shi Chuan, what do you mean by that?"

"I plan to get a real marriage certificate."

"Are you crazy? What is her status? What is your status? Your grandfather said that once what happened to you is over, he will immediately have Cen Yuan return your position to you. Cen Yuan came back to take his mother away from the Cen family sanatorium. He will definitely be willing to make the trade."

Lin Manzhi firmly disagreed with Xu Wantang marrying into the Cen family.

Cen Shichuan initially claimed that he was using Xu Wantang as a shield to divert public attention and shut those old fogies up.

When those old fogies saw that Cen Shichuan's collaboration had gone terribly wrong, they immediately wanted to bring Cen Yuan back, and even Old Master Cen couldn't stop them.

Cen Shichuan knew that if he didn't do something, he might very well have to hand over everything to Cen Yuan.

And then something happened that led to the current situation.

Xu Wantang became the best victim in the whole affair.

But now, he wants to make amends to Xu Wantang.

"Mom, when you framed Wan Tang and Second Brother at the temple last time, did you also sense something?"

"I... I always felt that something was off between the two of them. Although your second brother hasn't come back for many years, he's so cold that even his relatives don't bother with him. How is it such a coincidence that he can help Xu Wantang every time he steps in? But... I have no proof."

After what happened last time, Lin Manzhi was severely scolded by the old man.

She didn't dare to talk nonsense.

On Cen Shichuan's end, the atmosphere was gloomy.

"Then I'll create some evidence. I won't give my second brother any chance to take what's mine."

"You mean... No, I disagree. With your status, you can have any woman you want. Why should the woman who harmed you take advantage of you?"

Lin Manzhi strongly opposed it.

Cen Shichuan didn't give her a chance to refute.

"Mom, my mind is made up. Give me the marriage application. Wan Tang can only marry me."
