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

Hearing the sound, Lin Yue glanced at Lu Jiu behind Cen Shichuan, but still made way for him.

"Third Young Master, please."

Cen Shichuan led his men into the private room.

Cen Yuan stood by the window, and as he turned around, his seemingly calm demeanor belied his incredibly powerful aura.

Just standing there is enough to attract everyone's attention.

This was the first time Xu Chuxue had seen Cen Yuan up close.

During my last exclusive interview, I only caught a fleeting glimpse of her before she was escorted away by bodyguards.

Now that I see it clearly...

Even though she had seen so many wealthy young men from high society, she still stared at the man in front of her, her gaze momentarily stunned.

Such an outstanding man...

She should have met him sooner.

That way, I can favor her and care about her just like Cen Shichuan did. I can't imagine how great that would be.

How could I possibly get involved with a slut like Xu Wantang?

Thinking about it, Xu Chuxue immediately noticed the body covered by a coat on the sofa.

However, the clothes couldn't cover her whole body, and a few strands of her long hair were still visible.

Beneath the silk mask, she curled her lips into a smile, then, as if startled, hid beside Cen Shichuan.

"What is that? How can it move?"

Cen Shichuan looked over and clearly saw the person under the clothes shrink into the corner of the sofa.

What else could this be but a guilty conscience?

He sneered, "Second Brother, what a fine mood you're in. Since we've run into each other, why not introduce him to everyone?"

Cen Yuan stood still, flicking the prayer beads between his thumb and forefinger: "There's no need."

Cen Shichuan scoffed lightly: "Second Brother, is it unnecessary or impossible? I'm more curious, who is worthy of your protectiveness?"

He emphasized the word "care," his eyes so dark they seemed to be bleeding.

They didn't back down at all; on the contrary, they pressed forward step by step.

Seeing the two men subtly resisting each other for Xu Wantang's sake, Xu Chuxue turned her head to stare at the person on the sofa, her eyes almost unable to conceal the malice.

That bitch!

I've been disliked since I was a child!

Xu Chuxue gritted her teeth, filled with rage.

But when she caught sight of the people secretly watching the commotion at the door, she immediately adopted a gentle and proper demeanor.

"Second Young Master, you don't know this, Miss Xu has gone missing, and Third Young Master is very worried about her. He has been looking for her all the way here. Every time Miss Xu gets into trouble, it's related to men. If you don't let people come and see her, I'm afraid people will misunderstand you."

She seemed to mean well, but every word she said implied that Xu Wantang was restless.

Cen Yuan's deep black eyes swept over Xu Chuxue indifferently, a layer of indifference spreading across his eyes.

"What's it to you?"

"..."

Xu Chuxue was tense all over, unable to suppress the fear deep in her heart.

She could only force herself to remain calm and looked at Cen Shichuan with a wronged expression.

"Third Young Master, I was just trying to be helpful."

Cen Shichuan stood in front of Xu Chuxue and looked at Cen Yuan.

"Second brother, why change the subject? If you refuse, then I'll have no choice but to take matters into my own hands for the sake of the Cen family's reputation."

He walked straight to the sofa.

Cen Yuan remained standing by the window, motionless, his features as dark as ink, so profound that they inspired fear.

"Cen Shichuan, what if it isn't?"

Cen Shichuan paused for a moment.

But the thought of Xu Wantang under his clothes instantly turned his eyes cold and ruthless.

I will apologize myself.

After saying that, he forcefully lifted his coat, revealing the person hiding underneath.

It turns out to be...

Ji Yan sat up straight on the sofa, lifted her wig, and smiled.

"Third Young Master, do I look like a woman to you?"

"What are you doing here?" Cen Shichuan asked, frowning.

"I'm here with the Second Young Master and the others. Since the restaurant postponed the fireworks, Lin Yue, the Second Young Master, and I played a few rounds of cards. I thought that since the Second Young Master has been cultivating for many years, his card skills must be inferior to mine, so I played a big hand."

As she spoke, Ji Yan took out a makeup box and a women's coat from her bag next to the sofa.

He clicked his tongue and said, "Today is May 520th, so I thought whoever lost would dress up as a woman, take a group photo, and post it on WeChat Moments. Who would have thought I'd lose?"

Although Ji Yan is a top-notch lawyer, he is known in the industry for being a playboy.

It's not surprising that he could come up with this way of playing.

Cen Shichuan frowned as he scanned the items in the bag, seemingly calmly asking, "Why didn't you explain earlier?"

Ji Yan tossed his wig: "Third Young Master, don't I have any pride? Besides, Second Young Master reminded you that there's no need for introductions. I'm just letting you know that we know each other, right? Do I really have to tell everyone who I am and make a fool of myself?"

Cen Shichuan's gaze softened slightly, but his eyes still held an unreadable emotion.

He turned his wheelchair: "So... has the person Second Brother was waiting for arrived?"

Ji Yan truthfully replied, "We've arrived, but there was a slight problem. The Second Young Master has sent someone to another private room."

"What's going on? Could it be that the guy saw Second Brother hiding a woman in the private room? He must be a disciplined officer."

Cen Shichuan stared at Cen Yuan, asking and answering his own question.

It seemed like a joke, but it was actually a test.

Ji Yan said nonchalantly, "It wasn't me."

"It's me." Lin Yue raised his hand. "I lost too. I even took a photo with Instructor Ji back then. Would you like to see it, Third Young Master? If you still don't believe me, you can call Miss Chen over for a confrontation."

The voice just fell.

The bodyguard pushed through the crowd and came to Cen Shichuan's side.

"Third Young Master, the Young Madam has been found."

Xu Wantang was then wheeled into the private room in a wheelchair.

Before she could speak, Cen Shichuan coldly demanded, "Where did you go?"

Xu Wantang's long eyelashes drooped slightly: "The restroom in the private room wasn't convenient, so I had to go to the disabled restroom. I didn't expect to fall, and it took quite a while before someone came to help me."

"Why didn't you call me?" Cen Shichuan asked back.

As a husband, if his wife falls, his first instinct is not to ask if she is hurt.

They actually started by blaming me!

Why pretend to be a good husband who's always there for you?

If she makes a phone call, will he just ignore Xu Chuxue?

Acting, huh?

She will too.

"Third Young Master, you said you went to meet a client. I was worried that I would disturb your business conversation."

Xu Wantang slowly raised her eyes, her gaze falling on Xu Chuxue in surprise: "Miss Xina, why are you with the Third Young Master?"

Everyone's eyes followed suit.

Only then did I realize that Xina seemed to have appeared with Cen Shichuan.

But didn't Cen Shichuan go to meet a client?

The numerous suspicious points made Xu Chuxue and Zuo Li uneasy.

She quickly moved aside, trying to explain casually.

"I came with my boyfriend. He had to leave early because of something. I saw that the Third Young Master was looking for someone, so I thought I'd help him out."

Xu Wantang rolled her eyes inwardly, but nodded outwardly.

"I see. It's good that Miss Sheena explained, otherwise people might have misunderstood."

"..."

Xu Chuxue stood frozen in place, and even though most of her face was covered, you could still tell how terrible her expression was.

Isn't that what she said about Cen Yuan?

You can't stand it if I give it back to her?

"alright."

Cen Shichuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Wantang: "Today's matter is ultimately a misunderstanding. You weren't injured, so there's no need to dwell on it."

Why keep harping on it?

In the end, Xu Wantang became the sinner.

Seeing the smug look in Xu Chuxue's eyes, Xu Wantang smiled as if it were a joke.

"So, it's my fault for not getting injured."

"That's enough! Come back with me and get some rest."

After issuing a cold warning, Cen Shichuan raised his eyes and gestured to the bodyguard.

Xu Wantang was then forcefully turned around in her wheelchair by her bodyguard.

His body tilted to one side, and his knuckles turned white.

hypocritically.

Perhaps she was afraid that Xu Chuxue would be embarrassed.

She had never won against Xu Chuxue.

As the wheelchair was pushed away, a cold, mocking laugh followed behind.

"Cen Shichuan, have you forgotten something? Do you think you can just cause trouble here whenever you want? Or leave whenever you want?"

"Do you think I'm your stage?"
