After the car accident, Xu Wantang never smiled in front of Cen Shichuan again.

Gazing at her faint smile, Cen Shichuan became somewhat distracted, his breathing involuntarily quickening.

He subconsciously said, "I'll have someone reserve a good spot for me to watch the fireworks with you."

"..."

Xu Wantang was stunned.

She had been "married" into the Cen family for almost a year, and Cen Shichuan had never given her a kind look.

This is the first time he's suddenly offered to watch fireworks with her.

She was somewhat surprised, but nodded for the sake of the plan.

"Okay. I'm going to rest now."

"Um."

After Xu Wantang left, Cen Shichuan waved to Lu Jiu.

"Tell the restaurant manager to reserve another spot for watching the fireworks."

"Third Young Master, the last spot for watching the fireworks has been reserved for Miss Chuxue."

Lu Jiu rarely saw Cen Shichuan caring so much about Xu Wantang, so he kindly offered his advice.

"Third Young Master, how about we move Miss Chuxue to a more private VIP room?"

Cen Shichuan hesitated for a moment, but only for a moment.

"No need, Chu Xue likes it, and Xu Wantang is easy to please. Just make up an excuse, she won't care about these things."

Cen Shichuan's indifferent attitude put Lu Jiu in a difficult position.

After thinking it over, he still reminded her, "Third Young Master, the young mistress's wound is on her ankle, and she has a cast on her leg, so she can't..."

"Lu Jiu, when did you start paying so much attention to Xu Wantang?"

Cen Shichuan raised an eyebrow and glared coldly.

Lu Jiu immediately took a step back: "I'm sorry, Third Young Master, I overstepped my bounds."

He knew that if he continued, given Cen Shichuan's personality, not only would Cen Shichuan doubt him, but Xu Wantang's life would also become difficult.

"Lu Jiu, she is my wife."

Cen Shichuan withdrew his gaze, seemingly offering a reminder, but in reality, it carried a possessiveness that he himself was unaware of.

No one can covet his person.

Lu Jiu nodded: "I understand."

……

May 20th, around dusk.

The maid knocked on the door and delivered a gift box to Xu Wantang.

"Third Young Master had this delivered. Tell you to change your clothes and go to the garage; the driver is already waiting."

"it is good."

Xu Wantang took the gift box and went back to her room. When she opened it, she found an exquisite haute couture dress.

It's purple.

Xu Chuxue's favorite color.

Could it be another used item?

Xu Wantang quickly received the answer.

Hina's account has been updated.

"I tried on twenty dresses, it was so tiring. Someone wanted to bring all the latest summer styles from every brand."

The photo shows five rows of gowns, some of which were worn by top models on the runway just two days ago.

Xu Wantang immediately recognized a dress in the first row.

It's exactly the same as the one she has.

It turned out to be the dress that Xu Chuxue had left over.

No wonder Xu Chuxue posted the photos; it seems it was also to provoke her.

However, she no longer cared.

Xu Wantang put down her phone, went into the bathroom to wash up, put on light makeup, changed into a dress, and left the Cen family.

……

We arrived at the foot of the skyscraper.

As soon as the car stopped, the doorman opened the door and helped her into the wheelchair.

"Miss, please."

"Thanks."

Xu Wantang straightened her skirt and entered the hall.

Instantly, everyone turned to look at her.

Even Cen Shichuan, who was exchanging pleasantries with someone in the business district, was instantly drawn to them.

The purple figure stopped under the crystal chandelier, her fair skin glowing with a soft light.

Even while sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a simple dress, her perfect figure is still evident.

Her long hair was tied back with a black ribbon, with a few stray strands falling beside her face and lightly brushing her slender neck.

Her eyes sparkled with a thousand charms.

Some men couldn't contain themselves and wanted to step forward.

Cen Shichuan frowned and called out in a calm tone, "Wantang."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wantang was pushed in front of him.

"Third Young Master."

Cen Shichuan coldly swept past the other men and grabbed Xu Wantang's hand.

He introduced the man to the customer beside him, saying, "My wife recently injured her leg and has been staying at home a lot, so I brought her out to relax."

Xu Wantang was stunned.

This was the first time Cen Shichuan formally introduced her as his wife in front of outsiders.

It feels... awkward.

Just like the feeling of him touching her, it was awkward and uncomfortable all over.

But in front of outsiders, she dared not displease Cen Shichuan.

She could only let him hold her hand and politely greet him, "Hello."

The customer was a middle-aged man. He glanced at the two of them and smiled happily.

"You two look so well-matched standing together. Are you here for a romantic getaway? Well then, I won't bother you any longer. I should go find my wife. Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Xu Wantang waved with a smile.

Her smile made her already exquisite features even more radiant and captivating.

Even the words "perfect match" sounded strangely pleasing to Cen Shichuan.

He didn't let go of Xu Wantang's hand, but squeezed it: "The elevator's here, let's go."

Xu Wantang felt itchy all over, her eyes darting around, trying to find an excuse to distance herself from the other person.

Yu Guangzhong seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure.

impossible.

On a day like today, how could he possibly come to a place where couples gather?

Looking further, all that could be seen were swaying green plants.

Where is that figure?

"Wantang, what are you looking at?" Cen Shichuan frowned.

"It's nothing, I just think the decor here is beautiful." Xu Wantang took the opportunity to withdraw her hand, gestured around, and then changed the subject, saying, "Third Young Master, please go first."

All the way upstairs.

Xu Wantang followed behind Cen Shichuan, maintaining a proper distance.

Even after entering the private room.

She also chose the seat furthest from the main seat.

Anyone with eyes can see that she's avoiding it.

Including Cen Shichuan.

He gestured for the others to leave and parked the wheelchair next to Xu Wantang.

"Are you unhappy?"

"..."

Xu Wantang didn't understand what he meant.

Cen Shichuan poured two glasses of red wine, and moved one of them in front of her.

"The private boxes for watching the fireworks are all booked, so this is the only room I could get. The view from the window here is also quite nice."

Only then did Xu Wantang realize that this was a shady private room.

There will be no fireworks tonight.

But on her way to the restaurant, Xu Chuxue released the latest official announcement teaser.

She was in one of the best private boxes on the top floor to watch the fireworks.

Cen Shichuan wasn't unable to make a reservation; rather, he felt that Xu Wantang was easy to fool.

Even being able to bring her out is a blessing.

In the past, Xu Wantang might have been sad.

Not now.

"It's okay, it's fine here too."

Xu Wantang lowered her eyes and nodded.

It's as if she thinks that just because she has connections, she can switch private rooms with Xu Chuxue.

All she wants now is for the plan to go smoothly.

In Cen Shichuan's eyes, her response seemed more like a compromise for love.

She would be happy as long as she could be with the man she loved, even if they were just sitting at a street stall right now.

Cen Shichuan stared at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and raised his wine glass.

"Cheers."

Xu Wantang felt very uncomfortable under his gaze.

Just as I was about to move over to drink, the main lights in the room suddenly went out, leaving only a few ambient lights on.

The seats she and Cen Shichuan were in were perfectly positioned so that they could see the starry sky outside the window.

With the candlelight flickering on the table and on the table, the atmosphere became ambiguous.

Xu Wantang was so embarrassed she wanted to bang her head on the ground, so she quickly picked up her wine glass and held it in front of her.

"Cheers."

After drinking.

Xu Wantang was planning when to set off the fireworks.

There are about twenty minutes left.

Given Xu Chuxue's personality, she would definitely call Cen Shichuan away beforehand.

Just then, a hand touched her cheek.

"You're so old now, why do you still act like you were when you were a teenager, getting food all over your face when you drink?"

Cen Shichuan's sudden tenderness.

Xu Wantang was momentarily stunned and couldn't avoid his hand in time.

Cen Shichuan lifted her chin and rubbed his thumb on the red wine at the corner of her mouth.

His gaze couldn't help but fall on her rosy lips.

In the past, he didn't want to let Xu Chuxue down, so he had never looked at Xu Wantang so seriously.

Even if he forced her to do that kind of thing, he felt nothing.

But now, looking at Xu Wantang's eyes and brows, a sentence suddenly popped into his mind.

"She is his wife, she is his..."

He even felt an unprecedented surge of impulse.

Without a word, Cen Shichuan pulled her close and kissed her lips...
