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

Xu Chuxue was stunned until her fingertips were burned before she came to her senses.

She blinked, her voice softening: "I didn't mean to."

"You think I can't tell?"

Cen Shichuan frowned slightly, his expression towards her becoming somewhat indifferent than before.

This reminded Xu Chuxue of the scene when they took the group photo.

She had a selfish motive; she wanted to deliberately leave a loophole so that all the online discussion would revolve around her.

It would also be easier to provoke Xu Wantang.

From childhood to adulthood, Xu Chuxue has always treated Xu Wantang this way.

She always leaves a small flaw in her actions.

Xu Wantang would rush towards it as if he had seen hope, eager to prove something.

Then, Xu Chuxue only needs to put on a victim's expression and make a slight rebuttal, and everyone will side with her.

Tried and tried.

Except for this time.

Cen Shichuan not only rejected her idea, but also hesitated for a moment when she kissed him.

In the end, Lu Jiu even checked the photos three times to make sure there were no problems before he allowed her to send them.

As a woman, Xu Chuxue could certainly see that Cen Shichuan was wavering.

But she risked everything to play along with him.

Why should that bitch Xu Wantang get off easy?!

Xu Chuxue suppressed the hatred in her heart, and when she looked up, she glared at Cen Shichuan.

"I'm sorry, I just don't want you to go back, I just want you to spend more time with me."

Seeing her apologize, Cen Shichuan softened.

He pinched the corner of his eye and blurted out, "I've been spending all my time with you lately. If I don't go back soon, Wan Tang will get suspicious."

His tone was so natural that he didn't even realize it himself; he subconsciously placed Xu Wantang in the position of his wife.

Xu Chuxue is a mistress who can't be seen in public.

Suddenly, Xu Chuxue's voice became somewhat shrill.

"Wantang? You really consider her your wife? You two aren't actually married."

"If Wan Tang knew the marriage certificate was fake, given her personality, she would absolutely never stay with you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the surrounding temperature plummeted.

Xu Chuxue looked up and met Cen Shichuan's cold eyes.

The rest of her words stuck in her throat.

Even so, Cen Shichuan's expression did not soften.

He stood up and said, "I don't want to hear those words anymore. Now, Xu Wantang is my wife."

Xu Chuxue didn't dare to really anger Cen Shichuan, so she snuggled up to him in a coquettish manner.

"I understand. Ke Wantang is smearing our photos online and using my name to create hype. She's clearly trying to get your attention. I'm really afraid that one day you'll be deceived by her insincerity. Shi Chuan, you're all I have left."

"Don't overthink it. The photo incident has been resolved. I'll have someone suppress Wan Tang's online popularity. The competition starts the day after tomorrow. With me here, you'll definitely be the star. I'm leaving now."

Cen Shichuan coaxed her for a bit, then turned and left.

He was walking in a bit of a hurry and didn't notice the viciousness hidden beneath Xu Chuxue's smugness.

She wanted more than just Cen Shichuan's private favoritism.

……

Back at the Cen family home.

As soon as Cen Shichuan entered the room, he saw Xu Wantang asleep on the dining table.

There was still some soup that had cooled down on the table.

He said he would come back early today.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wantang foolishly waited for him until she fell asleep.

Cen Shichuan moved closer to Xu Wantang, staring at her beautiful face in a daze.

Her black hair was pulled to one side, revealing her slender white neck, and a few unruly strands of hair gently brushed against her rosy lips with each breath.

Even when asleep, she possesses a deadly allure.

When Cen Shichuan came to his senses, his face had already involuntarily moved close to hers.

But the words Xu Chuxue hadn't finished saying kept churning in his mind.

Indeed, if Xu Wantang had known the marriage certificate was fake, she definitely wouldn't have stayed by his side.

Because a long time ago, Xu Wantang said that lies are more disgusting than swear words.

At this moment, Cen Shichuan's first reaction was...

Then never let her know the truth.

Wait until things calm down.

He will find a way to help her and Xu Chuxue coexist peacefully.

Thinking about it, Cen Shichuan's agitation subsided.

Just as he was about to kiss her, Xu Wantang suddenly opened her eyes, saw him, and quickly moved away.

"Third Young Master, you, you're back."

"What are you hiding from?" Cen Shichuan frowned.

Xu Wantang certainly couldn't say she disliked his touch.

Under his gaze, she forced a smile: "It was a bit sudden, I was startled."

Cen Shichuan seemed to be in a good mood and didn't ask any more questions, only glancing at the soup on the table.

Bitter melon and pork rib soup, served with a small bowl of mung bean soup.

It clears heat and reduces internal fire.

He smiled slightly and said, "It's all cold. Next time, you don't need to wait for me. Just drink it yourself first."

"..."

Xu Wantang was stunned for a moment before realizing that Cen Shichuan had misunderstood.

This is what she taught Lin Yue to do.

Originally, she simply wrote the steps down on paper.

Who knew Lin Yue couldn't understand it?

Xu Wantang could only make one herself and teach it step by step.

Finally, while waiting for Lin Yue's feedback, I accidentally fell asleep.

Since things had come to this point, Xu Wantang had no choice but to make the best of a bad situation.

"Okay, I'll get ready."

"No need, just serve me a bowl."

Cen Shichuan remained standing in front of the table, showing no intention of leaving.

Xu Wantang's mind was filled with thoughts of how to refuse.

Just then, my phone chimed.

It must have been Lin Yue who replied to her message.

Seeing Cen Shichuan looking at her phone, she quickly picked up her bowl to interrupt.

"Third Young Master, have some mung bean soup first, it's been hot lately."

Just as she handed over the bowl, she suddenly frowned.

She clutched her stomach and said, "Third Young Master, I'm sorry, my stomach isn't feeling well. I'll go back to my room first. Try it first, and if you like it, I'll make it for you again next time."

In order not to arouse Cen Shichuan's suspicion, Xu Wantang pretended to say a few caring words.

Then, he turned the wheelchair around and left.

Cen Shichuan didn't say anything, but just looked at Xu Wantang's back with a deep gaze.

"Lu Jiu, I'm a little worried."

As a trusted confidant, Lu Jiu immediately understood.

"Third Young Master, the marriage certificate you and your wife signed is still here. Just submit it, and the real marriage certificate will be issued."

"..."

That is indeed a solution.

But Xu Chuxue was wronged.

After all, she sacrificed a lot for him, and she was the woman he held dear in his heart.

Both in terms of personality and character, she is a better match for him than Xu Wantang.

The best solution is to marry Xu Chuxue and settle Xu Wantang outside.

Xu Wantang listened to him and didn't make a fuss.

Cen Shichuan weighed the two of them in his mind and said, "Let's talk about it later."

……

room.

Xu Wantang locked the door and immediately took out her phone.

Lin Yue posted a selfie of herself eating.

"Young Madam, why is your cooking so different? It's so delicious."

In the photo, besides Lin Yue, a man's profile is also visible; he is also eating.

Xu Wantang smiled inexplicably, then froze.

What is she laughing at?

Just then, the teacher sent a message.

"The competition is the day after tomorrow. The organizers have left two invitations for family members of the participants. Who do you plan to invite?"

No.

Xu Wantang swallowed, her tongue tasting bitter.

Where does she have any family members?

Since it was determined that she had fractured her bone and could no longer dance, Ms. Zheng Yuzhu and Xu Shengze have never contacted her again.

The teacher added, "Friends are fine too."

nor.

Given her reputation, the girls she used to dance with have long since deleted her from their contacts.

She was just about to thank the teacher for her kindness when Lin Yue's message popped up again.

"Young Madam, it seems there's a competition the day after tomorrow. How are your preparations going?"

Hearing others express their concern for her competition at this moment, Xu Wantang was a little touched.

Her finger unconsciously tapped on Lin Yue's selfie.

in case……

Will it be...

"Assistant Lin, are you free the day after tomorrow? I have two invitations for you to watch the game."

"I have time, but are you going to give me both of them?"

"Anyway, there's no one else here. If you have any friends, you can come along."

"Hehehe."

Lin Yue sent a raised-eyebrow smile emoji.

What?

Are they coming or not?
