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

At last.

Xu Wantang still hopped into the restroom alone.

She never imagined that she could run faster on one leg than on two.

With a bang, the bathroom door slammed shut.

She didn't dare to look at Cen Yuan's reaction for long; her mind was filled with images of two little people fighting.

The wicked man said, "Congratulations, you've taken your seduction to the next level!"

The pure white figure said, "You're shameless! He's your nominal second brother!"

Xu Wantang raised her hand and waved, then grabbed the sink and splashed cold water on her face.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she took a deep breath.

Shameless?

What is this compared to losing your child and your own life?

What is it compared to being deceived into loving a devil?

She would rather give everything to those who can help her.

Cen Yuan.

The image of that handsome, aloof face immediately flashed into her mind, startling even herself.

But she was helpless; the current situation was completely beyond her control.

Just like the Xu family.

When Cen Shichuan graduated from university, he was sent by his grandfather to one of the company's subsidiaries for training.

It just so happens that the branch office has a partnership with the Xu family.

Over time, Xu Shengze and Cen Shichuan became acquainted.

Later, Xu Chuxue and Cen Shichuan fell in love, and the Xu family rose to prominence thanks to this connection.

The two sides are now cooperating more closely.

They were so close that they were willing to harm Xu Chuxue together.

Therefore, as long as Xu Chuxue is alive, as long as she is alive too.

She will always be Xu Chuxue's shadow, and also Xu Chuxue's stepping stone.

She was even used as a sacrifice to curry favor with Cen Shichuan.

They will not let her off easily.

And what about her?

She gave it her all, even faking a broken bone, just to barely keep her chance to dance.

So, apart from relying on Cen Yuan, she was no match for them.

Right now, she can only have the opportunity to fight for her rights if she wins dance competitions and becomes famous.

Just then, my phone, which was on the sink, beeped.

"Wantang, Mom and I aren't angry with you this time, but you were indeed a bit too willful in what you did."

"If you have any problems in the future, be sure to tell your brother first, and I will tell you what to do."

"Since you've broken your leg, don't think about dancing anymore. Just rest well. Mom needs to take care of me after my surgery, so I won't disturb your rest."

The implication is that they've achieved their goal and don't want to come looking for her anymore, so she shouldn't bother them.

That was exactly what she wanted to achieve.

As I exited the chat interface, another news report about Hina popped up on my phone.

In order to keep track of Xu Chuxue's movements, Xu Wantang secretly followed her using a secondary account.

Upon opening the report, Xu Wantang was slightly taken aback.

No wonder Cen Shichuan was in such a hurry to leave just now.

It turns out that photos of Hina having a late-night rendezvous with a foreign man abroad have been unearthed.

Although there is no clear view of Sheena's face in the picture, it is clear that she is not wearing a mask.

She was touching heads with a foreign man, very intimately.

The netizens immediately erupted in controversy.

"Double standards! Why didn't you say to wear a mask when meeting men, but you won't take it off when meeting fans."

"Only you guys got fooled. You can tell at a glance that the mask is just a marketing ploy. If the marketing goes well, you'll be begging her to take off the mask every day. If the marketing goes badly, she can still make a fortune by taking off the mask and then leave. Either way, she's not losing out."

Xu Wantang had just read two comments when a new trending topic popped up on her screen.

"Xina's latest explanation is that the man she met was her former dance partner and close friend."

In other countries, using the term "close female friend" to describe a man carries a clear meaning.

The other person doesn't like women.

Then, in less than half an hour, not a single photo of Hina without a mask remained.

It's obvious without even guessing that it was Cen Shichuan who made the move.

Following that, Hina revealed that she had a boyfriend she had loved for many years.

She wore a mask to continue her dance career because she didn't want to affect her boyfriend's career.

She instantly portrayed herself as a deeply affectionate and devoted woman.

This immediately reversed the public's perception of the company.

But Xu Wantang found a turning point in it.

If she can prove that Xina's boyfriend is Cen Shichuan, wouldn't that be the same as proving that Cen Shichuan cheated on his wife?

She could also file for divorce legitimately and leave Cen Shichuan openly and honestly.

Unless Cen Shichuan is willing to publicly admit that Xi Na is Xu Chuxue and that everything was a deception they designed together.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to get a divorce.

Xu Wantang was overjoyed; she really had to thank the whistleblower.

Otherwise, Xu Chuxue wouldn't be in such a hurry to prove her innocence.

The gloom from before was swept away.

After using the restroom, Xu Wantang tied her hair up in front of the mirror, turned on the shower, wet a towel, and began to wash her body simply.

Because I wasted time looking at my phone, forty minutes passed without me realizing it.

The hospital's handwashing facilities are not well soundproofed, and the sound of running water is very loud.

Outside the door, the man sat quietly with his eyes closed, his ears twitching slightly, his hands gripping the Buddhist prayer beads very tightly.

Finally, he opened his eyes and looked at his watch.

I got up and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Should we call a nurse?"

Xu Wantang was drying herself off when she heard the nurse being called, which confused her.

The only person who can help her is the doctor. What if the nurses notice something is wrong?

She quickened her pace while saying, "No need, I'll be done in a minute."

In her haste, she tripped over the raised floor mat on her cast foot.

"what!"

He landed on his butt in the shower.

"Xu Wantang? She fell?"

Hearing the noise, Cen Yuan asked again.

Xu Wantang was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.

I should have known better than to change my clothes.

Outside the door, Cen Yuan said again, "I'll go call the nurse."

Xu Wantang was about to nod when she discovered that her plaster cast had cracked.

Wouldn't the nurse immediately give herself away?

She steeled herself and said hesitantly, "Second Brother, could you... could you come in and help me?"

"..."

There was complete silence outside the door, as if no one was there.

It’s over.

Cen Yuan was definitely annoyed and left.

Xu Wantang moved her body despite the pain and complained softly, "Why did I have to seduce the Buddha? It's all for nothing."

The words were spoken.

With a snap, the bathroom went dark.

The door was pushed open, and only the faint glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the room, dimly outlining the man's tall and imposing figure.

He covered his eyes with a handkerchief, turned his head slightly, and walked up to Xu Wantang by relying solely on his voice.

He slowly crouched down, his voice low and menacing: "How can I help?"

The restroom was small, and when Cen Yuan squatted down, he was almost touching Xu Wantang's body.

And she... wasn't wearing any clothes!

She covered her chest with a towel, remembering her hospital gown on the sink.

She tried to reach for it, but she couldn't reach it no matter what she did.

Helpless, she twisted the towel between her fingers and said softly, "The clothes are on the sink."

Although Cen Yuan's eyes were covered in darkness, his aura was still visible.

The restrained and composed aura, though subdued, surged towards Xu Wantang like a powerful tide in the darkness.

Her breath hitched, and she shifted slightly.

"Don't move."

Cen Yuan's voice was low and hoarse as he turned to get his clothes.

If Xu Wantang hadn't been certain that his handkerchief was opaque, she would have suspected that he could see her.

A moment later, Cen Yuan picked up the clothes and unfolded them.

"Put them on."

Xu Wantang really wanted to wear it, but she fell and half of her body was numb, making it difficult to even lift her hand.

She tugged at her clothes with her good hand: "Second brother, could you help me put this on?"
