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

Liao Zhen used the folding fan to shield his face and coughed lightly.

Ji Yan then clenched his fist and coughed heavily against his lips.

Did they figure it out too?

Xu Wantang wished she could disappear into a hole right now.

Fortunately, the band started playing at that moment, and waiters carrying trays full of various masks moved through the crowd.

Liao Zhen explained, "To add some fun, we specially prepared masks for each guest."

After saying that, she waved to the waiter while holding a folding fan.

The waiter then brought over several exquisite masks.

Ji Yan casually picked up two full-face masks and handed one to Cen Yuan.

"Take it, you never know when it might come in handy."

Cen Yuan didn't say anything and accepted the mask.

When it was Cen Shichuan's and Xu Wantang's turn, Xu Wantang hesitated whether to take it or not.

After all, she is still Cen Shichuan's wife in name only.

Cen Shichuan is in a wheelchair and can't dance, so if she takes it, wouldn't that be going against him?

Liao Zhen noticed her predicament and casually took two masks.

"Third Young Master, since you're already here, why not take one and have some fun? If Wan Tang doesn't cover herself up, I'm afraid a bunch of people will come and ask her to dance later."

Cen Shichuan frowned slightly.

He didn't like Xu Wantang showing her face in public like that.

"Take it."

There were so many people today, and with masks on and the lights on, it was really hard to tell who was who.

Xu Wantang took the mask and put it on.

I was thinking of taking a break later.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yan extended his hand to Xu Wantang in public: "Third Young Master, is it alright if I ask the Young Madam to dance?"

Cen Shichuan's expression darkened slightly, but with so many people watching, he still nodded politely.

But he didn't forget to show off his love: "Ji Yan, my wife was injured before, so she can't jump for too long."

Ji Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Third Young Master, I won't dance with her for too long."

After saying that, he took Xu Wantang's hand and led her into the dance floor.

Xu Wantang was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.

"Discipline instructor, are you crazy? What kind of dance are you going to do? I don't know how to dance."

"You, someone who studies dance, can't... oh... you really can't?"

Ji Yan gasped, leaving a shoe print on his brand-new leather shoes.

Xu Wantang said helplessly, "This isn't the kind of dance I learned."

"Your Xu family has attended so many banquets, don't you teach your daughters anything?"

Ji Yan took the opportunity to stretch his legs.

"My sister studied it."

Xu Wantang pursed her lips, but didn't say anything else.

Ji Yan had previously witnessed Mrs. Xu's attitude towards Xu Wantang at the hospital, and it was nothing like that of a mother.

He changed the subject, saying, "It's better for me to teach you to dance than to just stare at Cen Shichuan, isn't it?"

Xu Wantang was surprised: "You..."

"Alright, stop making excuses. I'm a lawyer, after all; I have that much sense. Besides, aren't I part of your support team?"

"Thank you……"

Before Xu Wantang could finish speaking, Ji Yan spun her around twice to the music.

At the same time, the surrounding lights went completely dark, leaving only a few spotlights flashing across the dance floor.

Xu Wantang assumed it was just a lighting effect and didn't think much of it, so she turned back to Ji Yan.

She continued, "Thank you, you're so kind."

"Um."

"..."

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Wantang almost stepped on her high heels and lost her balance.

That voice... sounds like Cen Yuan.

However, he was willing to wear the mask so that he could dance with Chen Jingjing.

Xu Wantang elbowed him directly: "What are you pretending to be so profound for?"

Before her arm could even touch Ji Yan, he grabbed her wrist.

With a turn, she crossed her arms in front of her, her back pressed against Ji Yan's chest.

Even if she were slow to realize it, she could tell who was behind her.

Cen Yuan.

"Second, second brother."

"Um."

Where is Ji Yan?

"Going to the toilet."

"..."

Deceiving.

Cen Yuan was clearly wearing Ji Yan's suit and Ji Yan's mask.

Xu Wantang didn't know what to ask for a moment, and blurted out, "Where is Miss Chen?"

"I need to use the restroom too."

As the man spoke, he lowered his body slightly, bringing the two of them even closer together.

His breath landed squarely on Xu Wantang's ear.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

His warm breath carried a hint of heat.

Xu Wantang panicked and her footing became even more erratic, accidentally stomping on Cen Yuan's feet twice.

Cen Yuan let out a muffled groan.

"I did not do it on purpose."

Xu Wantang quickly turned around, only to trip over herself.

She fell headlong into Cen Yuan's arms.

Cen Yuan reached out and caught her, and their masks collided.

*Gasp*

Xu Wantang kissed his mask.

Her breath hitched, and her mind went blank.

Fortunately, Cen Yuan was wearing a mask that covered his entire face; otherwise, what would be the difference between this and kissing in public?

Xu Wantang shifted her body, trying to stand up straight.

But the large hand on her waist tightened, and even through the mask, she could feel the man's disordered aura.

He gazed at her, a burning desire to break free of constraints flashing in his eyes.

Xu Wantang pulled away from her lips, blushing as she reminded him, "Second Brother, the lights..."

The changing lights in the distance were about to fall on the two of them.

Cen Yuan curled his fingers slightly, but still released her, using the dance to avoid the falling lights.

After a few seconds of silence.

Cen Yuan asked, "After rescuing you, shouldn't I at least say thank you?"

save?

Xu Wantang immediately thought of the guest room that had inexplicably sprayed water earlier.

Wasn't Liao Zhen helping her?

Cen Yuan noticed her confusion and immediately took out his phone to open the chat window.

Xu Wantang realized she had sent the wrong message; she was used to asking Cen Yuan for help.

She whispered, "I thought you weren't going to help me anymore."

Cen Yuan said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid people will say that Lianzi is kind-hearted, but I am heartless."

"..."

Xu Wantang bit her lip.

Lin Yue and Ji Yan... two tattletales!

Cen Yuan lowered his eyes: "Then do I have feelings for you?"

Xu Wantang paused, then looked up to meet his deep gaze: "Yes."

After saying that, I felt something was off.

"With you here..."

Before Cen Yuan could finish speaking, the singing stopped.

The surrounding crowd also dispersed.

Xu Wantang also obediently lowered his hand and even took a step back.

Firstly, she was afraid that Cen Shichuan would see it.

Secondly, without the singing, what could she use to cover up the sound of her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to explode?

Cen Yuan glanced at her lowered hand, but didn't say anything more.

Seeing him about to leave, Xu Wantang asked softly, "Second Brother, are you... are you going to have a late-night snack?"

Suddenly, she remembered that Cen Yuan had to go accompany Chen Jingjing, so she quickly changed her mind: "You definitely won't eat, so I'm leaving."

She had just turned around when she heard a man's voice behind her.

"Message me later."

When Xu Wantang turned around again, Cen Yuan was already gone.

She absentmindedly returned to Cen Shichuan's side.

Cen Shichuan stared at her, a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Why did you disappear just now?"

"There are too many people today, and with the lighting design, it's normal that you couldn't see clearly." Xu Wantang changed the subject, "Would you like something to drink? I'll go get it for you."

Perhaps because of her good attitude, Cen Shichuan didn't ask any further questions.

But he wasn't stupid; he could clearly sense Xu Wantang's avoidance.

He turned his wheelchair around and took Xu Wantang's hand: "Wantang, there's nothing between me and Xina."

Xu Wantang doesn't seem to be acting at all now.

She withdrew her hand and asked directly, "Third Young Master, do you dare to swear an oath?"

Cen Shichuan was stunned for the first time in front of Xu Wantang.

The next second, Xu Wantang smiled and said, "Just kidding, I'm going to get a drink."

If Cen Shichuan and Xi Na have nothing going on, then all her efforts would have been in vain.

Xu Wantang walked quickly and didn't see the changing gaze of Cen Shichuan behind her.

It's like making a decision.
