Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Wen Shengsheng finally reacted, sitting up abruptly with her eyes wide open.

Li Chuan knew that it wasn't very considerate of him to tell Xi Yu this matter directly without consulting her.

He licked his lips guiltily, "I feel that Brother Yu actually cares about you quite a bit. After he found out about our plans, he didn't say anything. He just said that his family introduced us together for mutual benefit, and whether it was true or not didn't matter. It was enough to maintain the facade."

"But after that, he helped me with several things, and Ruth has been much nicer to me lately."

After a long silence, Wen Shengsheng finally moved her lips, finding her voice, "Really?"

Li Chuan nodded, "Let me tell you, although he looks cold, I think he's a pretty good person."

"Moreover, he is now in charge of the Hongyuan project. If all four phases of the project are completed, he will have a lot of influence over both the Xi family and the Li family. At that time, if we ask him for help again, we should be free."

If what happened at the dinner table had completely sunk Wen Shengsheng to the bottom of the lake, then at this moment, she seemed to see a hand reaching out from the surface of the lake and into the water, inviting her to grab it.

She swallowed hard, suddenly feeling a little nervous, and for a moment she couldn't believe it was all real.

They were already married when the Hongyuan project was established in their previous life.

However, it was also because of this project that he and Li Wanqiu became very close...

"By the way, there's also this."

Li Chuan quickly took out an exquisite red box from his pocket, opened it, and inside was a rose gold women's watch.

“This is what Brother Yu gave me this afternoon, to give to you.” Li Chuan took the watch out of the watch box. “Of course, tell everyone that it’s a gift from me, as a testament to our official announcement.”

Wen Shengsheng didn't know much about luxury goods, but she remembered this brand.

Even the cheapest watch costs hundreds of thousands.

The watch that Xi Yu gave her was made of rose gold, with a silver-white dial adorned with exquisite hand-engraved patterns of vines and leaves.

She is allergic to metal, so she paired it with an antique brown crocodile skin.

When the watch was on her wrist, it had a subtle shimmer that was neither dazzling nor overly luxurious.

“Let’s take a selfie.” Li Chuan opened his phone and put his arm around Wen Shengsheng’s shoulder.

“Your expression is too stiff, smile,” he said.

Wen Shengsheng wanted to laugh, but at this moment she was filled with fear and didn't know if she was dreaming or not.

She really found it hard to smile; she could only force a stiff, fake smile.

"That's really a stretch." Li Chuan clicked his tongue. "I'll send you the photos, and we'll both post them on our WeChat Moments. That'll count as an official announcement."

He's a comedian, and he quickly came up with a copy.

The pig ran into a tree, but you ran into my heart.

"Let's post this one at the same time so everyone can see it."

"..."

"Aren't there any more normal copywriting examples?"

Li Chuan said seriously, "This is the most normal one I can think of. Why don't you do it?"

Wen Shengsheng clicked her tongue, instantly recalling his WeChat nickname: "Kick the good leg of the cripple."

He might really be trying to be normal again.

At exactly 10 o'clock, the two of them posted that message on their WeChat Moments at the same time.

Considering Liang Fei and Su Yun, in order to solve the problem once and for all, she didn't block anyone and made everything public.

However, she deliberately cut off the watch part in the photo.

After posting, Li Chuan immediately messaged Ruth to explain what happened on WeChat Moments.

Wen Shengsheng stared blankly at the watch on her wrist.

Has Xi Yu finally decided to let her go?

But why not just help her get away from the Xi family directly, instead of using such a roundabout method?

Is it to leave her a way out, so that if things really don't work out, she can still go through with another marriage?

Wen Shengsheng suddenly felt as if there was an invisible net in front of her, which was tightly binding her. Although it didn't hurt, she couldn't break free.

The phone beeped.

She opened WeChat and saw a message from Xi Yu.

Do you like the watch?

Wen Shengsheng's heart tightened involuntarily, and she replied politely, "Thank you, Brother Yu."

"Do I need to say those two words to you?"

Wen Shengsheng held the watch on her wrist, lost in unprecedented confusion.

She felt she couldn't understand Xi Yu anymore, even though he had been so strict with himself before.

What's going on tonight?

"By the way, Sheng Sheng, didn't you say you were going on this business trip with Young Master Gong? You must know him. Could you ask him for a favor?"

Li Chuan's voice pulled Wen Shengsheng back to reality.

"What did you say?"

"I said..."

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted their conversation.

Wen Shengsheng's eye twitched when she saw the name on the screen.

Gong Xiaochen.

Unsure what Gong Xiaochen wanted to talk about, she gestured for Li Chuan to be quiet, then took her phone and went to the side to answer it.

"Wen Shengsheng!"

Before she could speak, she heard Gong Xiaochen give a low, sharp shout from the other end of the phone.

"I'm here, Young Master Gong, what's wrong?"

Gong Xiaochen seemed to be driving; through the microphone, she could clearly hear the sound of traffic flowing by.

"Where are you? Why didn't you reply to my messages?" He let out a heavy sigh, his tone as if he were suppressing something.

Wen Shengsheng pouted.

I don't want to reply to you, so what?

"I'm at the Xi residence. There's a dinner party tonight." After thinking for a moment, she added helplessly, "My phone was dead and has been charging. I just got it back."

He said coldly, "I'm coming to pick you up now."

"No need, Li Chuan will take me home in a bit." She refused directly.

He's so "busy," why did he come to pick her up?

Gong Xiaochen seemed a little annoyed. "Do you think I wanted to find you? There was a problem with the blood sample you had yesterday. You need to get a few more injections, otherwise your kidneys and heart may suffer from long-term effects."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shengsheng's scalp tingled instantly, and she quickly asked.

Do you know where the Xi residence is? Do you need me to send you the location?

Gong Xiaochen said in a low voice, "I know, just wait for me by the roadside."

Wen Shengsheng, unsuspecting, replied with unprecedented urgency, "Okay, I'll go to the intersection now! I'll wait for you!"
