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

The exchange of glances was completed.

Cen Shichuan had already instructed the maid to serve the lotus seed soup to each person.

He held the spoon, swirling it in the bowl, and said casually, "Second Brother, is your refusal to eat because you look down on Wan Tang, or is there something else?"

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

Cen Yuan put down his chopsticks without a change in expression, and was about to speak.

Ji Yan quickly stuffed a spoonful of lotus seed soup into his mouth.

"Eat, it's hot, I blew on it to cool it down for you, Second Young Master."

"Second Young Master, not bad, right?"

Ji Yan winked at him.

Cen Yuan reluctantly took a bite.

Almost simultaneously, he slightly lifted his long eyelashes, taking in the girl's subtle movements.

Xu Wantang lowered her head to eat, her careful breathing causing her hair to flutter.

The chopsticks in his hand were almost poking the meat in the bowl to pieces.

She didn't look at him, but she knew.

The tips of her ears were tinged with a thin layer of red.

Cen Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he restrained himself from his inexplicable emotions.

"Hmm, not bad."

"I think it's good too," Ji Yan said, following suit. "Third Young Master, don't just think about others, eat some yourself too. I think the other dishes are also quite good..."

Ji Yan quickly changed the subject.

Xu Wantang didn't hear a word of what was said.

All I could hear in my ears and in my mind was the sound of my heart racing.

Has she not been praised in a long time?

That one sentence is enough to make my heart race!

Just as she was calming her racing heart, she heard the crisp sound of a spoon hitting a bowl beside her.

Cen Shichuan's face was gloomy as he stared intently at the lotus seed soup in front of him.

Oh.

He doesn't eat lotus seeds.

They must be peeled by hand.

Xu Wantang used to have to peel the lotus seeds two hours in advance, and they couldn't be broken.

But Cen Yuan liked the slightly bitter taste of lotus seeds.

Therefore, Xu Wantang did not peel the lotus seeds.

I told you it wasn't made for Cen Shichuan, but he insisted on showing it off.

Cen Shichuan was concerned about saving face, so he didn't react on the spot.

After finishing the meal.

Grandpa Cen got up and left first.

Cen Yuan went to see Ji Yan off.

Xu Wantang also wanted to go back to her room to rest, but then her wheelchair clicked and locked.

She turned to look at Cen Shichuan.

"Third Young Master, is something the matter?"

Cen Shichuan coldly questioned, "Lotus Heart."

Xu Wantang calmly explained, "It's hot, and lotus seeds help to cool the body."

Cen Shichuan: "..."

Xu Wantang took the opportunity to unlock her wheelchair and quickly left the restaurant.

Fortunately, Cen Shichuan didn't chase after them.

Otherwise, it would be hilarious to see two wheelchairs racing.

As Xu Wantang was thinking, she turned a corner outside the restaurant and almost bumped into someone.

Fortunately, the other person reacted faster than her, bracing themselves on the wheelchair armrests with both arms and stabilizing the wheelchair.

But due to inertia, Xu Wantang bumped into the man's arms.

Her firm chest tensed slightly, and her body heat seeped through her shirt onto her cheeks.

Scalding hot.

But the thought of the servants who might appear at any moment made Xu Wantang sit up straight.

"Second, second brother."

Cen Yuan didn't move, his supporting arms slightly bent, his breath drawing near.

"To vent?"

"..."

Xu Wantang's face flushed red.

He actually heard it.

Just then, footsteps came from the corridor not far away.

She was so flustered that she almost stood up on her own.

Fortunately, Cen Yuan unintentionally pressed down on her shoulder and said calmly, "Take control."

After saying that, he got up and pushed her toward the backyard.

Xu Wantang was puzzled and muttered softly, "Control what?"

Until I passed by the glass, where her reflection appeared.

Her face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

Controlling...blushing?

Xu Wantang immediately lowered her head, wishing she could just bury herself in the ground as she passed by the garden.

……

the other side.

Cen Shichuan looked at the lotus seed soup in front of him. He clearly didn't care about Xu Wantang, but a nameless anger still rose in his heart.

He smashed the bowl, and the shards landed right at Lu Jiu's feet as he entered.

Lu Jiu paused for a second, then quickly stepped forward.

"Third Young Master, we've found it."

"explain."

Cen Shichuan took out a handkerchief to wipe the remaining lotus seed soup from his hands.

Lu Jiu whispered, "That medical report... the name was changed. The original name was Miss Chu Xue, and the signature at the bottom was added later."

Hiss.

The handkerchief in Cen Shichuan's hand was torn, and it felt as if something in his heart had shattered completely.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Before this, he even wondered if there was a misunderstanding that Xu Wantang refused to donate blood back then.

It seems the biggest misunderstanding was that he actually wavered in his feelings for a woman like Xu Wantang.

Lu Jiu noticed the gloomy look around Cen Shichuan and continued to explain, "Third Young Master, this is just the hospital's record for now. I'll go find the doctor from back then..."

Ding--

The urgent ringing of the cell phone interrupted Lu Jiu's words.

Cen Shichuan answered the phone: "What is it?"

"Third Young Master, Miss Chu Xue has fainted and is currently in the hospital," the villa's servant said anxiously.

"I'm coming right away."

After hanging up the phone, Cen Shichuan immediately went to the hospital.

……

hospital.

Xu Chuxue leaned against the headboard and pressed foundation onto her lips in front of the mirror.

Lin Zhuozhong, who was at the foot of the bed, frowned and walked up to her.

"Miss Xu, I helped you this time, can we call it even now?"

"Director Lin, why the rush?"

Xu Chuxue continued looking in the mirror.

Lin Zhuozhong gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for my help, Third Young Master would definitely have found out that you were the one who refused to donate blood back then. You lied to your brother and you lied to Third Young Master."

When Cen Shichuan went to the ward to find Xu Wantang, Lin Zhuozhong was just about to help Xu Chuxue get rid of Xu Wantang.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Wantang was discharged from the hospital without a word.

However, he heard about Cen Shichuan and Lu Jiucha donating blood.

He originally intended to use this incident to erase the secret that Xu Chuxue had discovered.

But he still underestimated Xu Chuxue.

"Then you go and tell them."

Xu Chuxue put down the mirror, revealing a gentle and dignified face, but the smile in her eyes resembled that of a snake eyeing its prey.

He can poison someone with just one word.

She said gently, "By then, your secret will have spread throughout the entire Cen family. Guess how the Third Young Master and the Cen family will deal with you?"

"What...what exactly do you want?" Lin Zhuozhong asked, unable to contain himself any longer.

"Director Lin, don't be angry. I know you know a lot of doctors. As long as you keep helping me, I will keep quiet."

Xu Chuxue smiled.

Lin Zhuozhong thought of the Cen family and Cen Shichuan, and nodded.

He then left the ward.

Xu Chuxue tidied her makeup one last time in front of the mirror, put her mask back on, and lay down.

A dozen minutes later.

Xu Shengze and Cen Shichuan arrived one after the other.

The doctor that Lin Zhuozhong found followed closely behind.

The doctor approached the two men: "This young lady has severe anemia, and coupled with the dancer's restricted diet, she suddenly fainted. She just needs to rest."

Just as she finished speaking, Xu Chuxue slowly woke up.

She immediately showed a worried expression when she saw Xu Shengze.

"Brother, what brings you here? You shouldn't move around too much."

"You're my sister, how could I not come to see you? Are you feeling better?" Xu Shengze said affectionately.

"I'm fine, please don't tell Mom and Dad, I don't want them to worry."

After saying that, Xu Chuxue coughed twice.

Xu Shengze looked at her with heartache: "You're just too hardworking and too filial. If only Wan Tang were even a fraction as sensible as you."

Upon hearing the name Xu Wantang, Cen Shichuan's face turned ashen.

He stopped by the bedside and took Xu Chuxue's hand.

"You don't need to work so hard. I told you no one can surpass you."
