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

Xu Wantang stood there, stunned.

She did indeed come up with many ways to escape.

The best choice is Cen Yuan.

At worst, it would be Gu Feng.

Her situation is not something she can change by trying; she is truly at rock bottom.

Very little can be earned through one's own efforts.

Only by taking advantage of favorable circumstances can she truly escape Cen Shichuan.

Gu Feng is a good person, even though he has no blood relation to the Cen family.

But he is also a special case.

He reconciled the relationship between the Gu family and the Cen family.

If things really come to a head, Xu Wantang still has room to maneuver if he's willing to step in.

Little did she expect that she would directly provoke the person she should never have provoked.

Cen Yuan.

At that moment, Xu Wantang felt a chill on her waist as her shirt was lifted to one side.

She felt a sudden surge of heat throughout her body and grabbed the man's hand.

"What are you doing? This is outside! Don't you have any shame as a Buddhist disciple?"

"Uh-huh."

Cen Yuan nodded perfunctorily, but didn't retract his hand at all. "I'll sit quietly and reflect for two hours when I get back."

"..."

When it comes to this kind of thing, reflect on it and don't get your hopes up too high.

Xu Wantang snapped out of her daze and pinched Cen Yuan's abs with her other hand.

Cen Yuan pressed her hand down: "Don't touch me like that."

"So you're allowed to touch me however you want? I'll touch you, I'll touch you."

Xu Wantang scratched with her claws.

"OK."

Cen Yuan wasn't annoyed; he even took her hand and slipped it inside her shirt.

"Want me to touch you again?"

"You!" Xu Wantang's hand twitched as if it had been burned.

She stared at Cen Yuan and noticed that his ears seemed to be a little red as well.

He didn't immediately understand, and he had no experience.

Xu Wantang tiptoed and deliberately kissed him: "Second Brother, do you like it?"

"..."

In the end, Cen Yuan was defeated.

Xu Wantang inwardly laughed at the contrast.

If she had known he preferred directness, she wouldn't have pretended to be a little green tea.

The two were whispering to each other inside.

Outside, Ji Yan and Lin Yue lit cigarettes for each other.

Lin Yue took a deep breath: "Is that right? I think the Second Young Master has been tricked."

Ji Yan raised an eyebrow: "It's rare for him to be in such a good mood, shouldn't a brother help him out? It's just... his sister-in-law, use your brain, there's always a way."

Lin Yue: "...Your morals have been corrupted by Xu Wantang too."

"Whenever Xu Wantang has something to do, you're the first to report it. I think you've fallen for it too."

Ji Yan reached out, and the two were just about to play around when they saw Lu Jiu hurrying past from the other side.

Ji Yan looked through the thin mist and said, "Xiao Jiu looks like she's lost a lot of weight."

Lin Yue sighed helplessly, "He's so stubborn. I told him before that the Third Young Master didn't seem like someone easy to get along with, but he didn't believe me and insisted on repaying the debt of gratitude. After the Third Young Master's accident, he was busy running around doing all sorts of things. How could he not lose weight?"

Ji Yan stubbed out his cigarette: "Judging from his expression, he's definitely helping the Third Young Master with something again. I'll follow him and see. You keep watch."

"Try to persuade him; he used to listen to you the most."

"We'll see."

That was then.

Now, Ji Yan wasn't sure if Lu Jiu would listen to him.

After all, Lu Jiu is too stubborn.

……

After teasing Cen Yuan for a while, Xu Wantang told him about what happened in Lin Manzhi's courtyard.

"Cen Shichuan has been acting strangely lately; he hasn't been visiting my sister."

Cen Yuan remained silent.

Deep down, I know exactly what's going on.

They were both men, but Cen Shichuan's gaze towards Xu Wantang had long since changed.

Xu Wantang was slow to realize it.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What if Cen Shichuan wanted to get a real marriage certificate with you?"

"impossible."

"What if?"

"I don't want to either, I..." Xu Wantang then realized that Cen Yuan was staring straight at her.

"What?"

Xu Wantang then realized that he was trying to get information out of her.

She pouted and said, "I'm not saying anything more, I'm leaving now."

She had only taken two steps when she was pulled back.

"Actually, I have a way to prevent him from using the marriage certificate to control you," Cen Yuan said in a low voice.

"Really? What method?"

"This isn't the place to talk business. I'll send you an address later, then you can come find me."

"oh."

"Go."

After we finished talking.

Xu Wantang left, and her phone vibrated halfway there.

When she raised her hand, she realized that she was wearing Cen Yuan's Buddhist prayer beads on her wrist.

Isn't this his master's keepsake?

She opened her phone; it showed an address.

"Second brother, why are the prayer beads with me?"

Cen Yuan didn't reply; he's probably busy.

Xu Wantang returned to her own courtyard.

As for Cen Shichuan, he was busy with social engagements and returned late at night, by which time Xu Wantang was already asleep.

……

The next day.

Xu Wantang knew that Cen Shichuan had been working non-stop at the company for several days in a row.

So after her dance troupe performance ended, she took a taxi to her destination.

It's a small Western-style building in the city center.

A wall surrounds the courtyard and the Western-style building.

The airtight gate was tall and imposing, enclosing all tranquility within.

Outside the door lies a bustling area.

When Xu Wantang arrived by taxi, the driver was quite startled.

"Miss, this isn't a place for ordinary people to live. Are you here for a job interview?"

I guess so.

Xu Wantang looked at her T-shirt and jeans, but didn't dare to say she was looking for someone.

The driver muttered, "Those are all properties worth over 100 million yuan, and we still don't know who lives in them."

Xu Wantang gave an awkward smile.

Upon arriving at our destination, we quickly got out of the car and knocked on the door of the security guard's booth.

The security guard saw her and immediately opened the gate: "Miss, you've arrived. Let me show you in."

"You...know me?"

"The second young master instructed me to record your facial recognition later, so you can come in directly from now on."

"what?"

Before Xu Wantang could finish her questioning, the facial recognition was completed with a beep.

Once inside, the garden was a riot of color, complete with a fountain.

No wonder so many people resent the rich.

She also harbors hatred.

After bypassing the adjacent corridor, Cen Yuan stood on the small bridge and fed the fish.

"You're here? Have you eaten?"

"I can't eat anymore, otherwise I'll keep gaining weight."

Xu Wantang rubbed her stomach. She had only eaten a piece of chicken breast for lunch, and now even Cen Yuan looked at her with a delicious appetite.

Cen Yuan could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her pitiful expression.

"I haven't eaten yet, have some more with me."

"Okay, I'll eat a little more with you."

Xu Wantang raised her hand to gesture, but before she could put it down, Cen Yuan took her hand.

"Let's go."

Just as the two were about to go inside, Xu Wantang's phone rang.

She glanced at it and smiled, "It's Brother Gu Feng."

She didn't even bother to look at Cen Yuan's expression before answering the phone.

"Brother Gu Feng, what do you want to see me about?"

"I just happened to be passing by the dance troupe. I was wondering if you'd left yet? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

"Dinner? No need, I have something to do today. The Cen family has been quite lively lately. What brings you here?" Xu Wantang asked.

"No matter how lively it is, they're their own people, so it's not appropriate for us to get involved," Gu Feng said helplessly. "How long are you going to be busy? I'll wait for you to join us..."

"Um."

Xu Wantang was suddenly hugged from behind.

Xu Wantang felt numb all over and suddenly made a sound.

Gu Feng quickly asked, "Wan Tang, what's wrong?"

Xu Wantang blushed and said, "No, it's nothing. I'll be busy until very late today. We'll talk about it another day... um... another day. Bye."

Cen Yuan, a man who is usually calm and doesn't talk much, actually... bit her!
