On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

Su Chenxi was stunned when she met the man's domineering gaze.

Shen Yanchuan released her, his forehead brushing against hers. "Did you hear what I said?"

Su Chenxi obediently replied, "I heard you."

Shen Yanchuan is not someone who gives up easily. He will stop at nothing to succeed in whatever he wants to do, and he will also stop at nothing to get the woman he wants.

"Let's have dinner!" Shen Yanchuan brought out two plates of steak, then went to the wine cabinet to pick out some wine, and brought over two wine glasses. A simple yet romantic dinner was ready.

Su Chenxi sat down, her mind still preoccupied with his words. Looking at the glass of red wine handed to her, she reached out, took it, and sipped it. She tilted her head and looked at him.

"Second Young Master, we've only known each other for three months, how come you like me?" Su Chenxi asked curiously.

She herself wasn't sure if this was something that would attract him.

Shen Yanchuan sat down, holding a glass of red wine, and elegantly swirled the liquid. "I also want to know the answer to this question."

Su Chenxi was taken aback. "If you're marrying me because of me, I've already told you before that I was forced to marry you by my mother. You don't need to have any good feelings towards me because of this."

"To be honest, I'm also very opposed to this marriage." Shen Yanchuan raised an eyebrow.

Su Chenxi laughed, "It seems we share the same fate, both of us were forced into this."

“Fate is a wonderful thing. Sometimes it’s not all bad; good things happen too.” Shen Yanchuan’s gaze was fixed on her. “For example, fate brought us together.”

Su Chenxi avoided his intense gaze, blushed, took a sip of red wine, looked out the window at the night view, and sighed inwardly, but she was a person whose fate was not in her own hands.

"Eat up! It won't taste good if it gets cold." Shen Yanchuan smiled and carefully cut the steak for her, then pushed it in front of her.

Su Chenxi felt a warmth in her heart, picked up her knife and fork to enjoy the steak. The tender and fragrant steak tasted amazing, like a five-star experience.

Su Chenxi was hungry and started eating without any hesitation. Shen Yanchuan picked up his phone and set up some music. Romantic and atmospheric light music played, making the whole night gentle.

Su Chenxi had just picked up a piece of steak with her fork, and before she could even put it in her mouth, her wrist was grabbed by the man's large hand, and the steak in her hand was bitten off by the man.

Su Chenxi laughed in exasperation, and the man compensated her by offering her a slice of his steak to her lips.

Su Chenxi was taken aback, then shyly opened her mouth and ate.

After eating until she was about 70% full, Su Chenxi got up to clear the dishes, but the man took her hand and pressed her down onto the sofa. "Don't move, I'll do it."

Su Chenxi suppressed her urge to help, and as she watched the man efficiently tidy up and wash the dishes by the sink, her eyes welled up with tears.

Just then, her phone rang; it was her mother calling.

"Hello! Mom." Su Chenxi went to the balcony to answer the phone.

"Chenxi, Mom just wanted to call and chat with you," Su Meifen said with a smile on the other end of the line.

"You can tell you're in a good mood." Su Chenxi sensed that her mother probably had something to share with her.

"Chenxi, Mom made a friend today. He's a security guard at the company where I work. He's a really nice guy and even treated me to a meal," Su Meifen said.

Su Chenxi was taken aback. Her mother was being pursued so quickly? Although her mother was getting on in years, she still had a good temperament and appearance, and could be said to still be charming.

"Yes, it's a good thing to make friends," Su Chenxi said. She would support whatever kind of friends her mother made and whatever kind of life she lived.

Because her mother had been trapped in the Jiang family for too long, her world consisted only of the Jiang family and Jiang Liguo and his daughter. She needed friends and needed to see a wider world and life.

“I happened to be there when he fell ill that day, and I gave him his medicine. He was very grateful to me.”

"Mom, where do you work?" Su Chenxi asked curiously.

"Mom will tell you later. Anyway, don't worry, Mom really likes this job," Su Meifen said sincerely.

Su Chenxi could tell that her mother was genuinely happy, so she smiled and said, "Okay, tell me when you want to! I won't ask anymore."

Just then, Su Meifen said from the other end, "Chenxi, Yaoyao called me, I'll hang up now!"

“Okay, Mom,” Su Chenxi replied.

In the apartment, Su Meifen hung up the phone with her eldest daughter and answered the phone with her youngest daughter, "Hello! Yao Yao."

Jiang Yao's angry voice came from the other end, "Mom, are you on a date with an old security guard?"

Su Meifen was taken aback. "Yaoyao, how did you know?"

"How would I know? I saw you with my own eyes at the entrance of the Gu Group today, Mom. Don't be so sure about marrying an old security guard." Jiang Yao said vehemently on the other end of the line.

Su Meifen sighed, "Yaoyao, you've misunderstood. We're just friends."

"Mom, my dad is a boss, and I don't want a security guard as my stepfather. It would make me lose face, and how could I hold my head up in front of my friends?" Jiang Yao became more and more angry as she spoke.

Su Meifen felt bitter and resentful. "Yaoyao, we're just friends."

"I don't care, you must cut ties with this old security guard and not have anything to do with him. If I see you two on a date again, I won't give him any face." Jiang Yao was terrified of having a stepfather of low status.

"Alright, your father and I are divorced. Can't I have my own life?" Su Meifen finally showed her motherly authority.

Jiang Yao choked with anger on the other end of the line, "Mom, I'm doing this for your own good. Those old men don't deserve you at all."

“Yaoyao, I’ve taught you to respect people since you were little. You’re so old now, how come you still haven’t learned it?” Su Meifen was somewhat disappointed in her second daughter’s character.

"Now in your mind, I'm not as good as your illegitimate daughter, right?" Jiang Yao mocked.

"Chenxi is your older sister, you're not allowed to talk about her like that," Su Meifen scolded angrily.

“I told you, her father is a gigolo, so she’s a born bastard.” Jiang Yao got more and more excited as she spoke.

"Yaoyao!" Su Meifen called out to her angrily.

"Mom, did she tell you that she's getting a divorce from Shen Yanchuan in a year?"

"What did you say?" Su Meifen stood up in surprise.

"Do you think she can be the second young mistress of the Shen family forever? She's not destined for that," Jiang Yao said smugly.

Su Meifen became anxious, "Yaoyao, what exactly is going on?"

"She has a divorce agreement that Shen Yanchuan signed in advance. Once she signs it a year later, her marriage with Shen Yanchuan will be terminated."

Su Meifen anxiously sat back down on the sofa, unaware that her daughter's marriage to the Shen family had only lasted a year.

“Shen Yanchuan doesn’t like her as much as the rumors say. He also looks down on Su Chenxi’s status as an illegitimate child. Mom, my dad will bring up the marriage again in a year. Don’t worry, the position of the second young mistress of the Shen family will be mine,” Jiang Yao said confidently.

"Yaoyao, how can you do this? Yan Chuan is your brother-in-law now."
