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

As soon as Xu Wantang returned to her room, she locked the door and took out her camera from her bag.

She flipped through the photos one by one.

It has to be said that Cen Shichuan was too cautious.

Aside from the first photo which showed the two figures in a blurry form, she did not capture any other details.

Cen Shichuan seemed to realize that his position was too easy to be photographed, so he immediately stood behind a cover.

As a result, she didn't get a single decent group photo.

Fortunately, Xu Chuxue's photo was taken.

However, due to the limitations of camera resolution, only about 70-80% similarity can be seen in the photos.

But enough.

Thinking it over, Xu Wantang also pretended to post a photo, just like Xu Chuxue.

The city night view outside the restaurant.

"It's so beautiful it looks unreal, but the real can't be faked, and the fake can't be made real. Looking forward to the next time."

Xu Chuxue wanted to subtly provoke her.

Let's see who provokes whom.

After finishing, Xu Wantang went to take a shower.

After lying back in bed, she looked at the crack on her phone case, worried that Cen Shichuan would find out that her phone wasn't the one he had given her.

I quickly ordered another phone case.

When choosing a model, she remembered that she still owed Cen Yuan a phone case.

Moreover, she didn't seem to have thanked Cen Yuan yet.

Open the dialog box.

"Second brother, do you really want the cat phone case?"

"Don't you want to give it?"

"Isn't it strange that we're the same?" Xu Wantang answered truthfully.

"What's strange about it?"

Isn't it weird?

The only people who share the same phone case with a girl are her best friend or boyfriend.

Are they like best friends?

He doesn't seem like a boyfriend at all.

Boy friend?

Xu Wantang suddenly became very shy.

She really dares to think big.

Just as I was about to try to persuade them again, the screen showed that the other party had withdrawn their message.

Suddenly, she burst out laughing.

Even someone as composed as him can realize he said the wrong thing.

"Buy whatever you want," he replied.

"Give me your phone model number, and I'll order a one-of-a-kind one for you."

It took Cen Yuan a full five minutes to reply after the message was sent.

Aside from the phone model, it's just one word.

"Um."

"Second Brother, thank you." Xu Wantang said with heartfelt gratitude.

"So it's just gratitude?"

Three seconds later, it was withdrawn again.

Then nothing happened.

strangeness.

Xu Wantang didn't think much of it.

I found a shop online that can customize phone cases and sent them a picture that I really liked.

Immediately after putting down his phone, he fell asleep.

……

restaurant.

Ji Yan looked at the small print on Cen Yuan's screen, where a message had been retracted.

"Are you worried that she won't understand the key point? So you're giving her a special reminder?"

"..."

Cen Yuan put away his phone, got up and left.

Ji Yan asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go back, there's a scripture you haven't finished copying."

"Copying scriptures! You actually copied scriptures!"

Ji Yan was so frightened that she stood up.

He understood the deeper meaning behind Cen Yuan's copying of the scriptures.

Lin Yue, who was eating steak, wiped his mouth and said, "It's already been copied."

Ji Yan sighed, "How could you still eat? Didn't you even try to stop me?"

Lin Yue grinned and pointed to himself: "Me? I'd advise you? I might as well help the Second Young Master copy some scriptures."

"You...have no backbone."

"You didn't try to persuade me either."

"He's my good brother. I even wore a wig for him. Sigh... As long as he doesn't betray his country, I can lower my standards for him."

"No bottom line."

"..."

The two looked at each other, disliked each other, and parted ways without looking back.

……

The next day.

Xu Wantang sold the camera at a rock-bottom price overnight.

She had just secretly packed and shipped the package through the side door when she received a call from the maid.

"The Third Young Master wants you to go to the restaurant for dinner. We have guests today, so he wants you to go right away."

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Wantang felt somewhat confused.

The Cen family is hosting a dinner party, when is it her turn to sit at the table?

Xu Wantang arrived at the restaurant with doubts.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother-in-law, Lin Manzhi, chatting with a woman while holding her hand.

Looking in that direction, the woman turned out to be Chen Jingjing!

She wore a light pink dress, her curly hair cascading down her shoulders, and a diamond hair clip adorned her ear, making her look as exquisite as a porcelain doll.

Speaking with a slight smile made Lin Manzhi laugh heartily.

Xu Wantang was worried about being recognized and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

But he was interrupted by Cen Shichuan's voice.

"Wantang, you've arrived."

Hearing the sound, Lin Manzhi and Chen Jingjing looked up.

Lin Manzhi's smile vanished, and she frowned, saying, "What are you all standing there for? Aren't you coming over to greet our guest?"

Xu Wantang had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

Before she could speak, Cen Shichuan turned his wheelchair around and spoke to himself.

"Wantang, this is my second brother's guest, Miss Chen Jingjing."

"Miss Chen, this is my wife, Xu Wantang."

"It's quite a coincidence that we were both at the rooftop restaurant of the skyscraper last night."

I heard the words "rooftop restaurant".

Chen Jingjing's gaze toward Xu Wantang changed from polite to scrutinizing.

Upon seeing this, Xu Wantang's heart tightened, and her fingertips clenched so tightly they almost dug into the leather of the wheelchair armrests.

It seems that Cen Shichuan still doesn't trust her after what happened at the restaurant yesterday.

Xu Wantang knew that if she revealed her true colors, not only would she suffer, but she would also implicate Cen Yuan.

After thinking for a few seconds, she took the initiative to walk up to Chen Jingjing and showed her injured leg.

"Ms. Chen, I'm sorry, I injured my leg and can't stand up to greet you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingjing casually glanced at Xu Wantang's cast-covered leg, but instead stared intently at her face for a long while.

There's a sense of familiarity about it.

A familiar feeling of dislike.

"Third Young Mistress, you're too kind. Seeing you today, you are indeed as beautiful as the rumors say...."

Chen Jingjing smiled slightly, but the deliberate pause carried a strange malice.

It's more like a reminder to Xu Wantang.

The rumors included how she slept with her brother-in-law and angered her sister to death.

Beside her, Lin Manzhi curled her lips into a mocking smile.

Cen Shichuan watched coldly from the sidelines.

He wasn't oblivious to Chen Jingjing's implied meaning; he simply didn't care about Xu Wantang's feelings.

To him, Xu Wantang was merely his possession.

Not a lover, much less a wife.

Objects don't have feelings.

Xu Wantang also experienced pain in the past.

Because she cares about Cen Shichuan and their marriage.

She even considered spending her life with Cen Shichuan.

But once a person stops caring...

These words won't hurt you in the slightest.

Xu Wantang showed no emotion, and even politely thanked her, saying, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Chen."

Lin Manzhi's expression froze for a moment.

Especially Cen Shichuan, whose thin lips formed a cold, hard line, and whose hands clenched tightly.

It felt like something was slipping away from my palm.

Just then, footsteps sounded at the door.

Cen Yuan and Old Master Cen walked in slowly.

Chen Jingjing immediately put on a sweet smile, walked quickly to the two of them, and waved like a little butterfly.

"Greetings, sir. Second young master. It's nice to see you again."

Even the usually serious Old Master Cen chuckled: "Jingjing, Cen Yuan realized he neglected you yesterday, so he specially invited you over for dinner today. Don't be shy."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingjing blushed and secretly glanced at Cen Yuan.

It was as if they were waiting for him to speak.

Cen Yuan didn't say anything, but glanced at the slender figure beside him out of the corner of his eye, and then nodded slightly to Chen Jingjing.

"Ms. Chen, please take a seat."

"Um."

Chen Jingjing and Cen Yuan walked side by side, one active and one still, they were quite a good match.

Xu Wantang pursed her lips, just about to turn her wheelchair around.

Cen Shichuan stopped beside her and said seemingly casually, "Chen Jingjing is the eldest daughter of the Chen family, and she is the only one the family dotes on. Grandpa is very satisfied with her. Second Brother's mother and Ji Yan's mother are also best friends. The person that Mrs. Ji chose must be the most suitable for Second Brother."

What do you think, Wan Tang?

As he spoke, Cen Shichuan grasped Xu Wantang's hand and gently stroked it.

It seemed both intimate and threatening.

Xu Wantang was taken aback.

I just happened to see Lin Manzhi enthusiastically pulling Chen Jingjing along.

"Jingjing, sit next to Cen Yuan so you can talk more."

"it is good."

Chen Jingjing smiled shyly and slowly sat down next to Cen Yuan.

Cen Yuan did not refuse; he even poured her a cup of tea.

Seeing this, Xu Wantang clenched her palms, feeling that her seduction of Cen Yuan was nothing short of clownish behavior.

Cen Yuan doesn't like her type at all.

He probably helped her because he was afraid she would damage the Cen family's reputation.

She withdrew her hand and nodded: "Yes, they're a good match."
