the next morning.

Xu Wantang knocked on Cen Shichuan's door as usual.

"Third Young Master, let me massage your legs."

Cen Shichuan leaned against the headboard, flipping through the documents in his hand, too lazy to even lift his head.

It was just a cold command: "The usual."

Disinfect your hands and wear gloves.

Xu Wantang glanced at her still slightly red palms, but did as she was told.

Then, she knelt down beside the bed and began to massage.

She knows exactly which acupoints to target and how much pressure to apply, even with her eyes closed.

In the past, to make Cen Shichuan more comfortable, she would follow the videos and learn over and over again every night.

She felt it was all worth it, even when her fingers cramped up from practicing.

Today, her technique was extremely perfunctory, and she even pressed the wrong acupoints.

Cen Shichuan felt uncomfortable and frowned impatiently.

When I looked up, I saw Xu Wantang looking sickly.

Her already alluring face gained an even more delicate softness.

It is most captivating.

He closed the file and said sarcastically, "So, after failing at one plan, you're faking illness again?"

Xu Wantang paused in her massage: "No, my wound hurts a lot, and I felt like I had a fever when I woke up this morning... uh!"

Her voice was interrupted by Cen Shichuan's hand gripping her chin.

"Xu Wantang, what other tricks do you have to seduce men? Use them all."

"No..." Xu Wantang explained in pain, "I didn't seduce you, I would never seduce you..."

She's only ever seduced one man in her entire life.

Last night, Cen Yuan.

Unfortunately, he remained unmoved.

Xu Wantang didn't know which word she hadn't said clearly.

Cen Shichuan not only didn't let go of her, but instead increased his grip.

Say it again.

His voice remained cold, but there was an inexplicable hint of anger in his tone.

Xu Wantang was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe and could only repeat herself word by word.

"I said I would never... Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Cen Shichuan pushed her out.

His back hit the ground, and the wound started bleeding again.

He was in so much pain that he fainted.

In a daze, the maid ran in to check on me.

First, he touched Xu Wantang's forehead, which was covered in sweat, and then lifted her clothes.

"Third Young Master, she has a high fever, and her wound is infected and bleeding. Second Young Master instructed that she must not bleed this month, but..."

Cen Shichuan stared at her wound, his gaze pausing for a moment.

But it was only for a moment, and then he waved his hand.

"Have someone take her to the hospital through the side door, don't let her die here and bring bad luck."

Of course she can't die.

Otherwise, who would he use to please Xu Chuxue?

After a while.

Xu Wantang was helped into the car, and she didn't open her eyes until the car drove away from the Cen residence.

Yes.

She did it on purpose.

The Cen family has a private doctor who can usually handle most illnesses by coming to their home.

But she has to go to the hospital today.

Only by going to the hospital can she have a full set of physical examinations to prove that she is not infertile.

Cen Shichuan was unable to force her to undergo IVF.

Instead, he has to find a way to prove that he is not in the wrong.

So last night she removed the bandage, deliberately exposing the wound to let it become infected.

Cen Shichuan didn't want to be the subject of gossip during Ramadan, so he had no choice but to take her to the hospital.

Just then, the car suddenly braked.

The driver rolled down the window and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Assistant Lin, I didn't mean to cut you off. Please let the Second Young Master's car go first."

Cen Yuan?

Xu Wantang peeked out the window and saw a black minivan speeding away.

Just like that man.

Indifferent, not lingering.

……

In the car.

Assistant Lin Yue turned to hand over the documents, glancing casually at the car that was getting further and further away behind.

"The third young mistress is in the car. I saw her being carried out of the yard by the servants this morning."

"Um."

The man had three red Buddhist prayer beads wrapped around his wrist, and his long fingers lightly touched his forehead.

His expression was distant and aloof as he intently examined the documents on his lap.

It was as if he wasn't the one who treated Xu Wantang's wounds last night.

But the light touch of the fingertips paused for two seconds for no apparent reason.

"Second Young Master, would you like me to move to another courtyard?"

Lin Yue said nothing, yet he said everything.

Although his second son is not a monk, he is a proper Buddhist practitioner.

The intense interaction between Xu Wantang and Cen Shichuan is just... messing with people's minds!

"No need, I'm only staying for a few days."

It's a seemingly understated tone, yet it carries an air of mystery.

Lin Yue was slightly taken aback. Before he could ask, Cen Yuan handed him a document.

"Let's follow this itinerary today."

"Yes, Second Young Master."

……

hospital.

As soon as the car stopped, Xu Wantang immediately pretended to wake up in pain.

She reluctantly got out of the car and made up an excuse to let the driver go home first.

No one in the Cen family wanted to be associated with her, so the driver left without a second thought.

Upon entering the hospital, Xu Wantang quickly treated her wound.

She immediately went to the gynecology department for a checkup.

Just in case things go wrong, she paid three times the price to get a spot in someone else's VIP check-in lane.

Therefore, her entire examination process was quick and smooth.

While she was waiting for the results, the driver suddenly called her.

"Xu Wantang, where are you?"

Xu Wantang's heart tightened suddenly, and she had a bad feeling.

But she still tried to remain calm and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Third Young Master said that after your examination, he will let me take you back, and the Cen family's private doctor will handle your wounds according to the examination results."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wantang felt an indescribable bitterness rise in her throat.

Even though Cen Shichuan saw her wounds with his own eyes, he still didn't trust her.

She even needed a private doctor to verify the truth, to prevent her from playing tricks.

In Cen Shichuan's eyes, she will always be a scheming woman who makes things difficult for her older sister.

Whatever she does or says, it's all for ulterior motives.

But this time she definitely had ulterior motives.

Xu Wantang was about to find an excuse to delay when she was interrupted by the driver's impatient voice.

"I've already arrived at the surgery department, where are you?"

"..."

Xu Wantang was a little flustered because she didn't expect the driver to arrive so quickly.

The driver kept searching and urging her on, but she didn't hear a word he said.

Until he said, "Xu Wantang, the Third Young Master asked me to pass on a message to you: don't try anything funny, or you'll face the consequences."

"..."

Xu Wantang snapped back to reality, her palms sweating profusely.

The smell of disinfectant from the hospital filled my nostrils, and my mind was filled with images of lying on the operating table.

Almost instinctively, she blurted out, "I've already taken the bus home by myself, no need to trouble yourself."

"No! Get out of the car and wait for me right now."

The driver was one of Cen Shichuan's men.

They treated Cen Shichuan the same way they treated her.

Nobody treated her as the third young master's wife.

There is absolutely no respect to speak of.

Xu Wantang gripped her phone tightly. If she couldn't get the test report today, it would be even harder to get it in the future.

In an instant, his anger and resentment reached their peak.

A second before the explosion, my phone chimed.

The gynecological examination report was sent to my phone.

She is in good health and has no symptoms of infertility; it is recommended that her husband follow up with her.

In an instant, all emotions vanished.

She did it!

She obtained evidence to oppose Cen Shichuan!

Xu Wantang quickly replied, "Okay, I'll find an intersection to get off and send you my location."

I hung up the phone.

Ignoring the throbbing pain in her back, she quickly went downstairs.

Unexpectedly, they came face to face with the driver who was on the phone.

Without a doubt, he must be informing Cen Shichuan.

Xu Wantang turned quickly, but was still a step too slow.

The driver frowned, staring at the retreating figure: "Xu Wantang?"

Xu Wantang didn't dare to stop and quickened her pace to leave the hospital.

But the driver was still chasing after them.

She could only run towards places with lots of people.

But she was injured and had a fever, and she was out of breath and her legs were weak after running only a few steps.

As the driver was about to catch up, she noticed a familiar car parked on the side of the road.

Without thinking, I crawled inside.
