Upon hearing the word "cell phone," Xu Wantang's heart tightened.
But to avoid arousing suspicion, she turned around and placed her phone on the table.
"I'm going to take a shower first."
Cen Shichuan glanced at the cat-patterned phone screen but said nothing.
Stepping into the bathroom, Xu Wantang leaned against the door, feeling utterly weak.
After catching her breath, she first turned on the shower, using the sound of the water to cover the noise of her search.
Finally, she found what she wanted in the drawer.
Three bottles of massage oil.
She specially asked a massage therapist to buy this for Cen Shichuan's legs.
Judging from the thin layer of ash on the bottle, he must have forgotten about it long ago.
Xu Wantang slowly took off her clothes, rinsed them under the shower, and then put on her pajamas after drying them half-dry.
Then, instead of sprinkling all the essential oil directly onto the floor tiles, I mixed it with some water.
Just looking at it makes one word pop into my head.
pain.
After making all the preparations, Xu Wantang smashed the essential oil bottle on the ground.
Just as I was about to pretend to fall to the ground, I was so nervous that I actually slipped and fell.
"what!"
Footsteps sounded outside the door, but Cen Shichuan immediately stopped them.
"Stop! Wait for me outside, I'll go in myself."
Immediately, Cen Shichuan pushed open the bathroom door.
Xu Wantang was lying on the ground, her whole body soaking wet.
Cen Shichuan immediately wheeled himself into the bathroom.
But the wheels slipped as soon as they touched the floor tiles, and no matter how he tried to control them, they wouldn't obey him.
The wheelchair spun twice before crashing straight into the ornament.
He couldn't stand up to avoid it, so he could only watch helplessly as he crashed into the ornament and was then thrown to the ground by his wheelchair.
Seeing this, Xu Wantang carefully got up.
"Third Young Master, are you alright? I took out the essential oil I bought for you after my shower so I could massage your legs, but the floor was a bit slippery and I slipped and fell, and the essential oil broke completely."
"Third Young Master, don't move. I'll go get help right now."
She leaned against the wall as she walked out of the bathroom and shouted towards the door, "Assistant Lu, the Third Young Master has fallen! Quickly call a doctor!"
Upon hearing that Cen Shichuan had fallen, Lu Jiu and his bodyguards immediately rushed into the bathroom.
Upon seeing this, Cen Shichuan's face turned green.
He was an extremely proud man. Although he pretended to be disabled, he always maintained a superior demeanor in public, except when he was in a wheelchair.
This is the first time I've been so disheveled that I'm lying on the ground unable to get up.
The bodyguards tried to help him up, but they all fell flat on their backs, and one of them even kicked Cen Shichuan.
Xu Wantang feigned panic: "Quickly check on Third Young Master, I'll call a doctor."
She had just turned around when she heard the sound of a ping-pong ball being thrown to the ground behind her.
She made a phone call as she went downstairs, and her help arrived.
Grandpa Cen led... Ji Yan in.
Ji Yan glanced at her pajamas and blinked. "Young Madam, I hope I haven't disturbed your rest. The old master and I have something to discuss with the Third Young Master."
Xu Wantang hurriedly pointed upstairs: "Third Young Master fell in the bathroom, I'm coming down to wait for the doctor."
"What?"
Grandpa Cen hurried upstairs nervously.
Ji Yan followed closely behind, listened for a moment in front of Xu Wantang, and whispered, "Why did you call me? Didn't you call the neighbors? I thought you were going to give me a live broadcast!"
"..."
Xu Wantang pursed her lips.
She did consider calling Cen Yuan when she made the call.
But since Grandpa Cen had mentioned her in public several times, she was afraid that being so direct would arouse even more suspicion.
So we have to take a roundabout approach.
Is it possible that lawyer Ji Yan couldn't see this?
He clicked his tongue and said, "You two really don't hold back when you order me around."
Xu Wantang asked, puzzled, "The two of us?"
Just as Ji Yan was about to speak, footsteps came from down the stairs.
"Speak of the devil, and he appears; I'll go up first."
As soon as Ji Yan left, Xu Wantang looked down the stairs.
Their eyes met suddenly, and she instinctively pulled her robe tighter, clutching the name on the collar.
She didn't know why she did it; she just lowered her eyes, trying to hide her disheveled state.
"Second Brother."
"Follow behind me."
Cen Yuan glanced at the redness and swelling on her knee, his voice unconsciously deepening a few octaves.
Upon hearing this, Xu Wantang paused for a moment, but still nodded.
"Um."
When I looked up, the man had already strode upstairs.
She stared at the man's back, which seemed like an insurmountable mountain peak, tall and imposing.
But it made her feel incredibly at ease.
Back in the master bedroom, Cen Shichuan was finally helped out of the bathroom by Lu Jiu.
Seeing so many people staring at him with sinister eyes, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Just then, the doctor arrived.
The doctor was one of Cen Shichuan's men, but he hadn't been informed beforehand, so he could only assess the situation by observing his surroundings.
When he noticed that Xu Wantang was wearing pajamas and her hair was damp, he naturally said the words that Cen Shichuan had prepared for him in the past.
"The Third Young Master needs to rest and should not be distracted by anything that is too physically demanding."
"The Third Young Master has finally recovered, and we can't let it be ruined because of the selfishness of some people."
These words were clearly directed at Xu Wantang.
It's common knowledge that she would stop at nothing to marry Cen Shichuan, so it's not surprising that she seduced him into doing that kind of thing.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Cen's face was already covered with anger, and his gaze fell directly on Cen Shichuan.
Everyone in the Cen family knew that he detested the behavior of neglecting important matters for love and women.
Even though Cen Shichuan was the old man's favorite grandson.
When Cen Shichuan woke up after the Xu sisters became disabled, he was not met with concern and care, but with the old man's anger.
It just so happened that Xu Wantang was present at the time, which diverted that anger.
Therefore, Cen Shichuan understood this better than anyone else.
Now that he admits to letting Xu Wantang move into the bedroom, what will the old man think of him?
Anyway, Xu Wantang is his woman, and with so many people present, he needs a respectable reason.
After some consideration, Cen Shichuan took the towel and calmly wiped himself.
"Never mind, it's late at night, I don't want to dwell on it too much."
In a single sentence, Xu Wantang's malicious intentions were determined.
Before Xu Wantang could explain, Old Master Cen was already furious and turned to stare at her.
"You bastard! Your mind is full of filth! Do you really want to kill Cen Shichuan before you're satisfied?!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and struck Xu Wantang.
Xu Wantang had long known that Cen Shichuan would never lose face in front of outsiders, especially Cen Yuan.
She was prepared to be beaten, but that was better than sharing a bed with Cen Shichuan.
But she closed her eyes and waited for three seconds, and there was no pain as she expected.
She opened her eyes, and the man standing in front of her took Old Master Cen's hand.
So that's what Cen Yuan meant when he said to follow behind him.
It's like he always knows what she's doing.
Cen Yuan's eyes were filled with scorn, and his voice was cold and indifferent: "Cen Shichuan is just inconvenient with his legs, he hasn't become a eunuch. What does he want to do? Can a woman control him? There are so many people here, you should give him some face as a man."
The implication is that Cen Shichuan lacks self-control and uses a woman to take the blame, which is not like a man.
Cen Shichuan's expression turned even uglier.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, how come you always manage to show up at the right time? Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd been watching over us the whole time."
