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

Cen Yuan maintained a calm and composed expression.

But the sound was like the icy seawater of the apocalypse, instantly engulfing Chen Jingjing.

Chen Jingjing's face turned deathly pale, and despite straining her chest, she couldn't catch her breath.

"I...I...am I not you? I thought it was just a casual meal."

She gritted her teeth and managed to stammer out a sentence.

The man didn't reply. He stood tall and straight, his eyes were dark and cold, as if he could see right through Chen Jingjing.

"Really? Then you should find an excuse to go back."

"Second Young Master, Mrs. Ji's attitude towards me..."

Before Chen Jingjing could finish speaking, Cen Yuan left.

She was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot.

She refused to believe that there was any man she couldn't handle.

As I turned around.

Chen Jingjing saw Xu Wantang sitting in a wheelchair from afar.

For some reason, she felt like she had seen Xu Wantang somewhere before.

Could it be the restaurant from last night?

No, once you see a woman with that foxy, seductive look, it's hard to forget her.

Recalling the strange atmosphere at the dinner table, Chen Jingjing decided to be cautious and immediately called her friend from the previous night.

"Can you help me look up someone?"

"Who?"

"Xu Wantang".

……

Back in the courtyard.

Cen Yuan sat by the window with his eyes closed, holding Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, with his phone on the coffee table next to him.

One minute, two minutes...

He opened his eyes and glanced at his phone, but it remained silent.

When he closed his eyes again, the scene of Grandpa Cen looking for him before dinner flashed through his mind.

"Did you go to a restaurant last night?"

"Um."

"It's quite a coincidence that you and Xu Wantang ran into each other again and almost caused a misunderstanding."

"coincide."

"It's just a coincidence, but don't forget why you came back. The Cen family already looks down on women like Xu Wantang; if she dares to cause any more trouble..."

Every word was met with suspicion, every sentence with warning.

Especially after meeting Chen Jingjing at the restaurant, even he had to put on an act.

Images flashed through my mind, then suddenly froze on the image of Xu Wantang and Cen Shichuan holding hands.

Fingers intertwined...

Ding.

Cen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and immediately picked up his phone.

But it's just simple GG information.

He frowned and gripped the prayer beads tighter.

After a long pause, he said in a deep voice, "Lin Yue."

Lin Yue entered from outside the door: "Second Young Master, what is it?"

"Please make the arrangements for the cooperation in Guangcheng. I'll head over there this afternoon."

"Today? So soon? Third Young Mistress, isn't there a competition in a few days..."

"go."

"Yes."

Lin Yue didn't ask any more questions.

……

Xu Wantang only found out that Cen Yuan was away on a business trip when the phone case arrived.

They left in a hurry.

It seems like he's in a hurry to sever ties with her.

Xu Wantang looked at the custom-made phone case, her throat feeling like it was stuffed with cotton, sticky and uncomfortable.

But she didn't have time to think that much.

Because the match is about to start.

The teacher has sent a message saying everything is taken care of.

Now it's up to her.

Xu Wantang stuffed the phone case into her bag and then continued with her plan.

With her profile picture with Cen Shichuan and her flowing jewelry, Xu Chuxue once again secured her place as a favorite contestant in the competition.

Yes, a profile photo.

Only Xu Chuxue could make Cen Shichuan willing to risk being discovered faking a disability in order to help her regain popularity.

The two kissed against the light behind a white veil.

The silhouettes in the photo are deep and three-dimensional, clearly a pair of handsome men and beautiful women.

It is highly recognizable.

This is really... great.

Xu Wantang stared at the photo and smiled as she logged into her account.

She posted a photo of Xu Chuxue dancing in the past.

"Sister, you'll miss her too, won't you?"

Unsurprisingly, it was all curses.

"You're the one who killed your sister, have you forgotten?"

"Aren't you afraid your sister will come looking for you in the middle of the night if you keep posting like this?"

"No wonder you wanted to kill your sister. She dances better than you, is prettier, and has a better fiancé. You must be so jealous."

Xu Wantang let netizens criticize her without refuting or clarifying.

She was criticized so much that she became a trending topic.

Who says black and red isn't red?

Xu Chuxue went through all that trouble to generate buzz, and here she is, isn't she?

He's still just riding on Xu Chuxue's coattails.

Just as Xu Wantang was about to put down her phone, Cen Shichuan called.

As soon as the call connected, his cold and displeased tone came through the other end.

"Delete the photos."

"Why? I was just looking through the photo album and it made me a little sentimental. My sister loved dancing so much," Xu Wantang said sadly.

"Deleted. I don't want to say it a third time," Cen Shichuan said coldly.

Xu Wantang paused for a few seconds before speaking.

"Okay, I understand, Third Young Master. Actually, I dreamt about my sister..."

"Shichuan".

A gentle whisper, like a breeze, drifted from afar past Cen Shichuan's phone.

He interrupted Xu Wantang.

The next second, beep beep beep.

Cen Shichuan hung up the phone.

Xu Wantang looked at her phone and sneered, knowing full well that it was Xu Chuxue who had deliberately made that sound.

Unable to provoke her online, I decided to openly provoke her.

Xu Chuxue was just hoping she would act like a madwoman and question Cen Shichuan.

She is not.

Instead, she obediently deleted the photos.

At this moment, Cen Shichuan also sent a message.

"That was a female colleague from the company."

Which female colleague would dare to call him Shi Chuan?

Do you really think she's stupid?

To put it bluntly, Cen Shichuan simply doesn't take her seriously.

She felt that his explanation was just giving her a way out, and she had no right to refute it.

Xu Wantang quickly replied, "Yes. The photos have been deleted."

She thought Cen Shichuan would ignore her again.

To everyone's surprise, a few seconds later, Cen Shichuan replied with another sentence.

I'll be back early today.

Staring at the words, Xu Wantang was somewhat dazed.

If she were still the naive Xu Wantang, she might even find those words exceptionally sweet.

It's just like a young couple's everyday conversation.

But now, she only felt that Cen Shichuan was either possessed by an evil spirit or wanted to do something bad.

Xu Wantang regained her composure and thought for a moment before replying 'thoughtfully'.

"No need, work is more important."

She didn't want Xu Chuxue to cause any more trouble at this critical juncture.

Cen Shichuan didn't reply again, probably because he was very satisfied with her obedience.

Xu Wantang stopped paying attention to him and continued to stand still.

She was immediately attacked with even more insults than before after the photos were deleted.

Some paparazzi and marketing accounts even came because they smelled it.

Isn't this just giving her free publicity again?

But Xu Wantang was not excited.

Because she understands that her current popularity is entirely due to Cen Shichuan not making a move yet.

Once Cen Shichuan makes a move, not a single piece of news about her will appear online.

But she... just wanted Cen Shichuan to make a move.

Exiting the page, Xu Wantang accidentally clicked into her Moments and happened to see a selfie posted by Lin Yue.

"I'm so busy I'm getting stressed; I need a cooling remedy."

Upon opening the photo, Xu Wantang immediately noticed a hand in the corner.

Three strands of Buddhist prayer beads were wrapped around his wrist, which, when paired with a silver watch, gave him an indescribable sense of restraint and asceticism.

It's Cen Yuan.

Are you that busy?

Xu Wantang hesitated for a few seconds on the screen before finally opening the chat window with Lin Yue.

"I have a secret recipe, do you want it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Third Young Madam, you have no idea how badly Second Young Master and I have been eating and sleeping since we arrived here. We're so busy that we only get three or four hours of sleep a night, and we don't even have time to wander around."

"I didn't ask you any of that. I'll just write it down for you, and you can just do it."

Xu Wantang felt that Lin Yue was reporting his itinerary.

"Thank you so much, Third Young Madam, you've saved my life."

"It's not that exaggerated."

……

villa.

Xu Chuxue handed Cen Shichuan a freshly brewed cup of tea.

Cen Shichuan didn't answer, his eyes were somewhat cold.

Why did you make a sound just now?
