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

Soon, Xu Wantang received the dress box sent by Liao Zhen.

Open the box.

The nude pink dress had a soft glow, and although it had no embellishments, it was still incredibly beautiful and dreamlike.

Xu Wantang carefully picked up the dress, but a velvet box fell out from under it.

She quickly picked it up to check and found that the box contained a full diamond necklace by Graff.

A white and pink diamond circled around the base, then tied into a bow on the side like a ribbon, from which two pink and white diamonds the size of pigeon eggs dangled.

Xu Wantang checked online and found that the necklace actually cost more than 50 million.

Startled, she quickly put the box back and jokingly called Liao Zhen.

"Mr. Liao, there's a necklace inside your dress. Did you forget to take it out?"

"No, I specially chose this necklace for you. The dress you picked was too plain. This necklace has a nice shimmer, but it's not too flashy."

"No, no, it's too expensive, I don't need it." Xu Wantang quickly refused, "If I accidentally knock something over, I couldn't afford to pay for it even if I sold myself."

"Who said that? Some people would love to see that," Liao Zhen blurted out.

"what?"

Xu Wantang was stunned.

Liao Zhen immediately coughed twice and explained, "I mean I have insurance. If there's a problem, I'll claim compensation from the insurance company. You don't need to feel guilty. Tonight I will announce that you've joined our dance troupe. Just think of it as supporting me."

Having said all that, Xu Wantang felt too embarrassed to refuse any longer.

She assured him, "I will be careful."

"Okay. See you later."

hang up the phone.

Xu Wantang put on makeup, changed into a formal dress, and put on a necklace before leaving the Cen family home.

As I took out my phone to hail a taxi, I heard a man's voice behind me.

"Wantang".

His voice was deep, with a languid yet tender quality.

It's as if it's calling to a long-lost lover.

But to Xu Wantang, it sounded more like a venomous snake slowly approaching its prey, sending chills down her spine.

She clenched her fist and turned to look at the person who had come in: "Third Young Master."

Shouldn't he be with Xu Chuxue at this time?

Cen Shichuan was wearing a navy blue suit. He had handsome features and was attractive whether he smiled or not.

When Xu Wantang turned around, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes, along with a hint of heat that was hard to decipher.

Until his gaze swept over the necklace around her neck.

In an instant, it turned sinister.

"It's beautiful, and the necklace suits you very well."

Xu Wantang subconsciously touched the necklace: "Both the dress and the necklace were lent to me by President Liao. She said that a lot of people are going today, and she wanted me, the competition champion, to help make an impression."

Cen Shichuan paused meaningfully and said, "It was my oversight. I will thank President Liao properly later."

"Later?"

Xu Wantang was stunned and looked at Cen Shichuan with a puzzled expression.

"You're attending a celebration banquet today, and as your husband, of course I'll accompany you."

Cen Shichuan smiled faintly: "If you like the necklace, I'll ask President Liao to buy it for you. I don't like you wearing other people's things."

"..."

husband?

Xu Wantang pursed her lips, but the slightly sweet lipstick couldn't suppress the repulsion in her heart.

Cen Shichuan must find her very funny; he could easily fool her with just a few casual words.

But today's celebration banquet is of great importance to her.

She didn't want to start a fight with Cen Shichuan at this time.

Besides, the necklace is so valuable, and she'll need money for dancing in the future.

Why not take it? Consider it compensation for the emotional distress caused by being scammed.

"Okay. Let's go."

Xu Wantang got into the car from the other side; her dress had a slit design.

As she sat down, the hem of her skirt slipped off her legs, revealing her fair and smooth skin.

Cen Shichuan's throat tightened, and he felt an urge to strip her dress off.

The first time Xu Wantang had this subtle impulse was when she changed into a long dress and went to the bathroom.

It grew stronger and stronger over time.

Even when he was abroad, and Xu Chuxue had been pestering him for so long, he didn't have such a strong urge.

He stared at Xu Wantang's charming face and said in a deep voice, "Why have I never seen you wear pink before?"

Xu Wantang was somewhat surprised.

Cen Shichuan even knew that she had never worn pink.

But her first reaction was that it was a good thing Cen Yuan didn't know her before.

Otherwise, she'd be incredibly embarrassed!

Xu Wantang lowered her head and pretended to adjust her skirt: "It was chosen by President Liao."

President Liao, please don't blame her for talking nonsense. It's all because Cen Shichuan is acting so inexplicably.

Fortunately, Cen Shichuan didn't ask any more questions, and the car drove smoothly to the banquet hotel.

Get out of the car.

Even though Cen Shichuan was in a wheelchair, his appearance and family background still attracted a lot of attention.

He ignored her and instead bent down to straighten Xu Wantang's long skirt.

Xu Wantang knew he was doing it for the reporters.

After all, the public opinion surrounding his and Xu Chuxue's disappearance during the week they were gone had not subsided.

On the contrary, the preview of Xu Chuxue removing her mask at the celebration banquet has generated unprecedented buzz.

Ultimately, Cen Shichuan is being nice to her now in order to help Xu Chuxue get rid of the rumors of being a third party.

However, Xu Wantang chose to cooperate for the sake of the celebration banquet.

She smiled faintly and said, "Thank you."

"We'll inevitably be drinking tonight, so I've had some food prepared for you in the lobby beforehand. I'll take you there later."

Cen Shichuan's performance was exceptionally realistic, as if he were a considerate husband.

Xu Wantang nodded: "Mm."

Yu Guangzhong drew envious glances from many women.

If they knew it was all fake, they would most likely sympathize with her.

I just entered the hotel.

Lu Jiu walked to Xu Wantang's side: "Young Madam, the meal is ready."

Xu Wantang thought Cen Shichuan was just putting on an act in front of outsiders, but she didn't expect him to actually prepare food for her.

But she didn't trust Cen Shichuan.

"Actually, it's not necessary. I ate something before I left. I shouldn't keep Mr. Liao waiting."

Just as she was about to leave, Cen Shichuan raised his hand to stop her.

"It doesn't matter if it's a little bit of time, and with so many people hearing it, I mean what I say."

Originally, I was afraid of losing face.

Xu Wantang understood Cen Shichuan's temperament; resistance would only lead to no good.

She could only obediently follow Cen Shichuan to sit in the lobby coffee bar.

The waiter brought over a chocolate mousse and orange juice.

Cen Shichuan said in a deep voice, "Eat up, it's all your favorite food."

It is indeed something Xu Wantang loves to eat.

It's really kind of him to go to such lengths for acting.

"Thanks."

Xu Wantang continued to cooperate, her mind focused on quickly eating a couple of bites before entering the venue.

I really don't want to play the role of a loving couple with Cen Shichuan.

She casually took a couple of bites, and a commotion arose at the doorway.

Looking in that direction, Cen Yuan walked in with Chen Jingjing.

Cen Yuan was still wearing a black suit, with a silver diamond lapel pin at the collar.

It not only makes the neck appear longer, but also gives a more reserved look.

As the Adam's apple bobbed, there was also a sense of abstinence.

Beside her, Chen Jingjing was dressed like a princess, her silver diamond necklace echoing Cen Yuan's lapel pin.

The two standing together resembled a still frame from a stage play depicting the happy life of a princess and prince.

very beautiful.

Xu Wantang took a bite of the spoon, and then Cen Shichuan's voice came from beside her.

"Second Brother dislikes these kinds of occasions the most, but I didn't expect him to come with Chen Jingjing. It seems the Cen family will be having a wedding soon."

"...cough cough."

Xu Wantang choked on the cream and quickly covered her mouth to stop coughing.

Cen Shichuan patted her back and poured her a cup of tea: "Have some light tea to cleanse your palate."

Xu Wantang was choking and didn't care, so she took a sip directly.

Then press a tissue against your lips to prevent coughing.

As I put down the cup, Cen Shichuan in front of me began to sway.

Cen Shichuan supported her, saying, "Wantang, you'll be fine after tonight."

"..."

Wan Tang, everything will be alright after tonight.

Wan Tang... tonight...

Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

Before Xu Wantang could speak, she slumped unconsciously onto Cen Shichuan's shoulder.
