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

Cen Shichuan did not expect that Cen Yuan would disregard the reputation of the Cen family and brotherly affection in public.

The situation remained deadlocked for a while.

The room was eerily quiet, and everyone held their breath.

"Second Brother, Wan Tang fell and hurt herself. I'm worried and want to take her to the hospital first. We can talk about it when we get back."

Cen Shichuan paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Wantang with a faint smile.

Xu Wantang was forced to turn towards everyone again, like an object.

They have absolutely no self-respect.

She gripped her trembling hands, her face growing paler by the minute.

She didn't want to help Cen Shichuan.

But Cen Shichuan's eyes held a threatening look.

Given her current status and situation, she can only help Cen Shichuan.

Xu Wantang dared not look at Cen Yuan; her long eyelashes were lowered, trembling almost imperceptibly.

"I……"

"no."

Cen Yuan glanced at her clenched fingers and interrupted her directly.

"Cen Shichuan, you dare to come here to investigate people just because you believe a woman's nonsense? Is this what you call protecting the Cen family's reputation?"

Having said all that, is there anything you don't understand?

The relationship between Hina and Cen Shichuan is unusual.

Instantly, everyone's gaze shifted between Xu Chuxue and Cen Shichuan.

Cen Shichuan frowned and said coldly, "Second Brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"So you knew? Then why did you deny it? And you're using another woman as an excuse."

Cen Yuan smiled mockingly, his dark eyes remaining completely calm.

Cen Shichuan's jaw was clenched.

He immediately gave a look.

Xu Chuxue took a breath and changed the subject: "Second Young Master, I don't understand what you mean."

"Didn't you say that just now?"

Cen Yuan's voice was cold and harsh, so direct that Xu Chuxue shrank back.

She couldn't answer, nor did she dare to, and could only subconsciously look at Cen Shichuan.

Cen Yuan picked up the teacup on the table and asked casually, "How did you two meet?"

This is not a problem, but a warning.

If he wants to know, he can find out.

It all depends on whether Cen Shichuan wants him to know.

Cen Shichuan gripped the armrests of his wheelchair with both hands, suppressing the turmoil in his eyes, and nodded slightly.

"Second Brother, I just happened to run into Sheena. I'm really sorry to have spoiled your fun today."

"You guys continue, we're leaving now."

Having received the words he wanted, Cen Yuan calmly took a sip of tea before finally relenting: "Mm."

After saying that, Cen Shichuan left with his men.

Before leaving, Xu Wantang secretly glanced into the private room.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Cen Yuan leaned slowly towards the table while drinking tea.

It was exactly where she and Cen Yuan were standing to watch the fireworks.

The scene under the fireworks was sketched out frame by frame in Xu Wantang's mind.

Everyone left with cautious expressions, but she was the only one who blushed slightly.

She slightly raised her eyes and met the man's dark eyes, the light fragmented and obscure.

Xu Wantang quickly turned around, not daring to look any longer.

Behind him, the man's smile was hidden in the steam of the hot tea.

……

On the way back.

Xu Wantang's palms were burning hot, and he could feel the heat emanating from between his fingers.

So this is what it feels like to hold hands with a man.

When the fireworks were going off just now, Cen Yuan seemed to treat her a little... differently.

"Wantang, Xu Wantang."

Cen Shichuan's voice interrupted Xu Wantang's recollection.

She immediately snapped out of her daze and calmly looked at Cen Shichuan: "Third Young Master, is something the matter?"

Where did you fall?

Cen Shichuan showed unusual kindness and concern for Xu Wantang.

Xu Wantang also had a camera in her bag, not wanting Cen Shichuan to notice anything amiss, so she cooperated by saying, "I accidentally braced myself with my hand on the ground, and it went numb and I couldn't move at the time."

"show me."

Cen Shichuan's gaze fell on her hands.

Xu Wantang instinctively covered her hand, trying to avoid it.

"I'm fine now. The bathroom floor isn't very clean; I didn't even have time to wash my hands after I was rescued."

Cen Shichuan's eyes darkened, his expression turning somewhat gloomy.

He grabbed Xu Wantang's hand and forcefully opened her palm.

Instantly, her fingers tensed, and the warmth in her palm vanished.

Instead, there was a chilling sensation, like being licked by a snake.

"Where haven't I touched you? Have I ever complained that it's dirty?"

His voice was ruthless and domineering, reminding Xu Wantang of how filthy it was to have climbed into someone's bed.

It was as if he was telling her that she could never escape his grasp.

Xu Wantang's face was pale.

Just as he was about to say something, Cen Shichuan's phone rang.

It's obvious who it is without even guessing.

Xu Chuxue.

A faint sob could be heard from the other end of the phone. Cen Shichuan answered the call while glancing at Xu Wantang.

Xu Wantang couldn't wait for him to leave, so she turned her head to look out the car window.

Cen Shichuan said, "I have something to take care of. You handle it yourself."

Xu Wantang was taken aback.

When he came to his senses, Cen Shichuan had already hung up the phone.

He even looked down to examine her hands.

"I met Sheena after I finished meeting with my client."

"Um."

Xu Wantang nodded awkwardly.

It's just that her image as an easily fooled idiot was too deeply ingrained in people's minds before.

She believed even these lies.

Cen Shichuan frowned: "You don't have anything to say?"

"..."

Xu Wantang was furious.

Previously, she only had to deal with Cen Shichuan's anger; now she also has to deal with his unusual behavior.

So annoying!

They really think they can bully her.

Tell me, tell me, what are you going to say?

Looking up again, her expression was calm: "Third Young Master, I'm already very happy that you brought me to the restaurant to celebrate 520 today. You must have listened to Miss Xina because you couldn't find me. I understand that concern makes you confused."

Nausea.

It turns out that you can really lie without blushing or skipping a beat.

I guess they just don't care.

That blush and heartbeat...

The image of fireworks flashed through Xu Wantang's mind again.

Just thinking about it, my cheeks suddenly turned red.

Seeing her shy expression, Cen Shichuan smiled and said, "I'll take you next time."

Just as Xu Wantang was about to respond, her phone vibrated.

Xu Chuxue posted the official announcement photo.

The two figures, silhouetted against the backdrop of a romantic and mysterious scene, garnered many likes and shares.

But the man's back view was not Cen Shichuan, but his bodyguard.

It is very common for wealthy people to hire several bodyguards of similar build to act as their stand-ins.

Not only that, she once again "accidentally" sent a private message to Xu Wantang.

"Ms. Xu, I'm sorry, your profile picture looks so much like my friend's. I wanted to share my joy with her, so I accidentally forwarded yours."

"fine."

Xu Wantang wanted to see what she was going to say next.

"It's great that you're alright today. I bet the deal with Third Young Master has been finalized, right? I heard that the client who negotiated the deal with Third Young Master places a high value on family happiness. He'll definitely agree to the deal if he sees that Third Young Master brought you here for 520."

read it.

Xu Wantang recalled the man Cen Shichuan had spoken to when they entered the building.

No wonder the man smiled so happily when he heard that Cen Shichuan had brought her to 520.

It turned out to be the case.

Xu Wantang's expression was indifferent; she showed no sadness, nor even surprise.

"What are you thinking about? Why aren't you answering?"

Cen Shichuan stared at her, somewhat displeased with her hesitation.

It was as if she should be deeply grateful for his charity.

Xu Wantang had no interest in arguing with him and just gave him a perfunctory response.

"OK."

Just then, the car stopped.

She quickly grabbed the car door and jumped off the car on one foot.

"We've arrived. I'll go back to my room now."

Cen Shichuan's face was somber. How could he not hear Xu Wantang's perfunctory attitude?

He looked at Lu Jiu in the front seat: "Go and investigate Chen Jingjing."

Lu Jiu asked, puzzled, "Wasn't she rejected by the Second Young Master?"

Cen Shichuan scoffed, "Then let's help her."
