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

Xu Wantang pouted: "You knew you'd come, so why did you? Do you even know how many people are in the front yard?"

"You two are newlyweds, I can't let the second young master suffer from lovesickness, can I?" Lin Yue said, becoming more and more irreverent.

"I'm afraid that you two young masters are in love with someone else, such as someone cute, smart and beautiful."

"How come I didn't know that the Second Young Master had a woman like that by his side? It's good enough that he has a woman by his side who can live peacefully and steadily," Lin Yue said.

"..."

"Alright, all you want to know is who the woman the Second Young Master was talking about in the hall is, right? Just go and ask her yourself. I'll keep watch here for you, and I'll let you know if there's any movement."

Lin Yue lifted his long leg and stepped directly into the room.

Xu Wantang had no chance to refuse.

She offered an excuse: "Is it really a new product?"

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Yes, really, go ahead."

Xu Wantang then climbed out the window.

As she walked, she became increasingly suspicious. It seemed more like an affair.

As she approached the door, Xu Wantang hesitated for a moment, but before she could even stand still, she was pulled inside.

Immediately, he pressed himself against the window.

The almost identical movements reminded her of the first night she met Cen Yuan.

She came here secretly, hoping to use her wounds to appear weak and gain sympathy.

It seems that Cen Yuan saw through her impure motives that night.

She suddenly burst out laughing.

The man moved closer to her: "What are you laughing at?"

Xu Wantang looked down his face and said, "Second Brother, you're even closer than the first time."

Cen Yuan pursed his lips, something flickering in his eyes: "Can't?"

"You wouldn't... want to get this close to me on our first time, would you?"

"..."

Cen Yuan stared at her, his gaze so intense it seemed he wanted to devour her, but he didn't deny it.

Xu Wantang was stunned: "Really?"

"Um."

"You, you..."

If she had known he was so easy to seduce, why did she go through all those detours?

Xu Wantang thought of something else and stared at him, asking, "Then who is that lovely, smart, and beautiful woman in Second Brother's heart?"

"Why don't you try filtering it?" Cen Yuan lowered his eyes.

"Screening? You ignored all the female relatives the Cen family brought back this time. Was it for business entertainment? But you don't seem to go out for entertainment much. Was it company business? Lin Yue will definitely tell me."

"Who else? Think carefully," Cen Yuan reminded him.

Xu Wantang raised an eyebrow and looked up at him: "Me? I'm not stupid, but where am I cute or smart? No one has ever praised me for being cute or smart since I was a child."

"This proves that I have a keen eye for talent."

"Are you praising me or yourself?" Xu Wantang pouted.

"I'm praising you."

Cen Yuan raised his hand and lightly scratched Xu Wantang's nose, and her face instantly turned red.

He chuckled softly, "Isn't this adorable?"

That night, she did something shocking, but her face flushed red with just a breath.

"Let's go eat some cake."

"it is good."

Xu Wantang sat down on the sofa with him.

She took a couple of bites, but the noise from the front yard hadn't stopped yet; it seemed some people were planning to stay up all night.

She said, biting her spoon, "Second brother, why aren't you in the front? There are so many elders here, and quite a few of them have returned from overseas companies. With them backing you up, it will be easier for you to do things in the future."

"The Cen family's industrial chain is vast, but the truly important lines are all under the old man's name. Even if I were to sit there today, I would only be exchanging a few words with those insignificant people. There's no need to waste my time, and besides..."

"Besides what?" Xu Wantang asked while eating.

"Besides, those people are just a smokescreen to test my next move. The old man won't let me get past Cen Shichuan."

Cen Yuan's voice was neither sad nor happy, as if he had long been used to his biased family.

Xu Wantang held the spoon: "So the person Cen Shichuan met was the important person in the Cen family, and the others were just to mislead you."

"Um."

"This is too much! This is so biased! You take the blame when things go wrong, but Cen Shichuan gets all the good stuff. Why should he?" Xu Wantang said angrily.

"No rush. Everyone's not stupid. It's more important to talk about interests than personal relationships or authority."

"It seems you had this planned all along. If you don't go, the old man won't know what you're thinking, and everyone else will just think you don't care, and then they'll praise Cen Shichuan to the skies."

Xu Wantang understands Cen Shichuan's personality.

He's smart, but he's had it too easy.

His father was obedient, his mother was obedient, and he grew up in the same way.

People are willing to promote his reputation, which is why Cen Shichuan is so selfish.

This is not a good thing.

Overjoyed, Xu Wantang took a big bite of ice cream.

"Hiss... It's so cool... Ha, ha..."

She opened her mouth and breathed out, her eyes getting cold and wet, not even noticing the ice cream stuck to her lips.

Cen Yuan looked at her and remembered the first night he returned, when she looked at him like this, her body still damp.

Like falling petals, delicate and fragrant.

Cen Yuan leaned back on the sofa, his expression indifferent: "Wantang, is it delicious?"

Xu Wantang breathed out a sigh of relief and nodded.

As expected, this new product sold out quickly; it's so delicious.

Cen Yuan pulled her closer and curled his lips into a smile: "Then I'll try it."

"Well……"

Xu Wantang's eyes widened, and the ice cream spilled out as she stirred it between her lips.

It was both cool and hot.

Ah!

They even took the ice cream that had slipped down her neck.

"This place... isn't good..."

"Nobody dares to come."

The man remained calm, clinging to the last shred of his rationality.

"But... the ice cream cake will melt," Xu Wantang said, trying to stop him.

This is Cen family territory. Cen Shichuan sleeps in the small courtyard next door, which is just separated from us by a flower wall.

The more I think about it, the more it seems like an affair.

Upon hearing the word "ice cream," Cen Yuan's eyes immediately darkened.

"Then let's eat together."

"..."

How to eat it?

It doesn't sound like a good word anyway.

What happened to the promise of abstinence?

Did he learn it without a teacher?

Is this how you play it?

After all the fuss, Xu Wantang looked at the messy cake on the small table and secretly vowed that she would never eat ice cream cake again this year.

She turned around and saw the man lying on his side on the sofa, his fingertips gently stroking her hair, his face showing no signs of fatigue.

Is this even human?

"Is it tasty?"

"..."

Xu Wantang opened her mouth, silently cursing.

Cen Yuan blocked his way and gave him a brief kiss: "Don't get too close to Gu Feng."

Xu Wantang rubbed her waist, but touched sticky skin.

dog man.

"Why?" she asked angrily.

"When my eldest brother and uncle passed away, the Gu family offered five children to my aunt for adoption. Considering my aunt's situation, the children the Gu family offered were around the same age as my eldest brother, around ten years old. Do you think it's really easy for someone to stand out from five children?"

Cen Yuan reminded him.

Xu Wantang paused.

The First Madam lost her son, so it's impossible for her to go through the trouble of raising a baby. Moreover, sending the child to Gujia is also to stabilize the First Madam's position in the Cen family.

Babies don't understand anything, so their development is slow and full of unknowns.

But ten-year-olds raised in wealthy families are different; their intelligence and abilities are already beginning to show.

Therefore, Gu Feng must have been someone carefully selected.

As she was thinking, Xu Wantang suddenly sat up, clutching the blanket covering her.

"You said before that the people who knew I had a crush on Cen Shichuan were probably people close to me, but I forgot one person."
