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

Xia Xiaomeng's face turned pale with anger. At this moment, she could feel Su Chenxi showing off her superiority and confidence in front of her.

"Su Chenxi, don't bully me. I'm also a daughter-in-law of the Shen family. You dare to touch me?" Xia Xiaomeng said through gritted teeth.

Su Chenxi snorted, "You provoked me first."

"How pathetic! You married a man you don't love, and you'll live with that regret for the rest of your life!" Xia Xiaomeng retorted, not to be outdone.

"None of your business," Su Chenxi retorted rudely.

Xia Xiaomeng sneered, "As expected of an illegitimate child, you have a mother but no one to teach you! I heard your mother used to work in a bar, maybe your father was one of the male escorts there!" Su Chenxi's eyes darkened, a surge of intense anger rising within her, causing her to temporarily abandon her reason, and she strode towards Xia Xiaomeng.

Xia Xiaomeng watched as she rushed over, and before she could react, she was slapped across the face.

"Su Chenxi, you...you dare to hit me!" Xia Xiaomeng said angrily in disbelief.

Su Chenxi gritted her teeth in anger and retorted, "So what if I hit you? Who told you to be so foul-mouthed?"

The man on the second floor peeked out from the side, watching his wife fiercely fighting with her hands on her hips.

"Su Chenxi, you just wait. One day, I won't let you get away with this." Xia Xiaomeng covered her face and turned to leave angrily.

Su Chenxi bit her lip and said to Xia Xiaomeng's back, "Come on if you dare, I'm not afraid of you."

After Xia Xiaomeng left, the assertive look on Su Chenxi's face disappeared, replaced by a dejected expression. She gathered her long hair and sat quietly on the chair next to her.

Her father's identity remained a mystery to her; her mother was unwilling to discuss it, and every time she asked, her mother's face would flash with resentment.

While other people's births are welcomed and anticipated by their families, her birth felt like a sin.

Unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes were silently watching her from the second floor, the man's eyes holding a complex and profound light.

Just then, a maid came over and said, "Second Young Mistress, lunch is almost ready."

Su Chenxi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Inside the restaurant, a sumptuous meal was laid out on the table. Zhu Ying kept saying nice things to the old lady, trying to make her happy.

Xia Xiaomeng also tried her best to appear as a good granddaughter-in-law. She had clearly touched up her makeup, and the areas on her face that had been hit earlier were covered up with powder.

Su Chenxi was standing when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. As soon as she turned around, a long, slender arm wrapped around her shoulder and affectionately pulled her towards the dining table.

Su Chenxi was shocked, but outwardly she was naturally led to sit down at the table by him.

Xia Xiaomeng watched this scene with resentment and anger. Just yesterday and today, Su Chenxi had a rumored relationship with Gu Heting, and Shen Yanchuan still liked her so much?

"Come on, Xiaomeng, this is freshly made bird's nest soup. Drink some more later," the old lady said gently, clearly still valuing the great-grandchild in her belly.

Xia Xiaomeng quickly replied, "Thank you, Grandma. I will definitely drink it well."

The old lady said to Shen Yanchuan, "Yanchuan, bring a bowl over to Chenxi too, let her drink more."

Su Chenxi smiled and said, "Okay, Grandma."

Shen Yanchuan brought a bowl to Su Chenxi, and Su Chenxi ate it with a spoon.

"Yan Chuan, help Chen Xi pick up the food she can't reach," the old lady said.

Shen Yanchuan immediately put a braised shrimp into Su Chenxi's bowl. Su Chenxi reached out and picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, but when she took a bite, she realized it was braised pork.

She, who never eats fatty meat, was immediately troubled.

Wasting food in front of an old lady would set a very bad example.

Su Chenxi bit her lip, staring at the meat, wondering what to do, when she heard a deep male voice come from beside her, "If you don't like it, give it to me."

Su Chenxi looked at the man, her face flushed with embarrassment, "I bit into it."

The man reached over and took her braised pork, casually putting it into his mouth. This scene made the old lady chuckle and say, "Chenxi, we're husband and wife now, what's the big deal?"

Su Chenxi lowered her head shyly, while Xia Xiaomeng stared at her with jealousy, suspecting that Su Chenxi was deliberately showing off her affection.

Su Chenxi was truly wronged. She hadn't done anything wrong; the sauce had simply blinded her, preventing her from clearly seeing that it was braised pork.

But undeniably, Su Chenxi was still happy inside. When did this man become so good to her?

After the meal, the old lady asked Zhu Ying and her daughter-in-law to stay for a while longer. They only left when Zhu Ying said she was going to take a nap.

Su Chenxi went to the second-floor balcony to rest. She hadn't slept well last night, and lying on the comfortable sofa, she quickly drifted off to sleep.

A dozen minutes later, a figure with an extremely imposing aura walked towards her, sat down next to her, and picked up a book to read.

At this moment, all was peaceful and undisturbed.

When Su Chenxi opened her eyes, there was no one beside her, but she was surprised to see a book placed to the side. Who had read the book here?

Just then, a maid noticed her and asked with a smile, "Second Young Mistress, you're awake."

Was someone reading here just now?

"It's the second young master keeping you company!"

Su Chenxi's face flushed red. She quickly reached up to wipe her mouth. Oh my god! She hadn't drooled, had she?

The villa is so big, why does this man have to stay by her side to read? There are plenty of places he could be reading.

It's embarrassing for her, isn't it?

In the afternoon, Shen Yanchuan accompanied the old lady for a walk in the garden. He went out and did not come back for dinner.

He didn't come back until 11 p.m.

Su Chenxi took a nap in the afternoon, but she was still not sleepy, so she picked up her phone and sent him a message.

"What time are you coming back? Should I wait until you go to sleep?"

"You go to sleep first," the man replied.

"Are you coming back to sleep tonight?" Su Chenxi asked again.

"I probably won't reply."

Su Chenxi's head buzzed. He's not going home to sleep? Where is he going to sleep? With whom?

After thinking it over, Su Chenxi puffed out her cheeks. This wasn't her problem to worry about!

Even if he's sleeping with another woman now, she has no right to interfere.

Okay, okay, let's go to sleep!

Su Chenxi closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep as soon as possible, but her mind only became more and more awake.

What's going on? I've only slept with this man for a few days, and I'm already getting used to him? I can't even sleep without him by my side.

I just kept enduring it! Time slowly ticked away until it was one in the morning.

Su Chenxi was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in frustration, when she suddenly heard the sound of a car. She immediately sat up in surprise.

Has he come back?

Two minutes later, she heard footsteps outside the door. She hurriedly grabbed the blanket, covered herself, and lay down on her side. She had to pretend to be asleep; she couldn't let this man find out she wasn't asleep.

Otherwise, he would have thought she was waiting for him!

The door opened, and Shen Yanchuan's tall figure stepped in. He looked at the room with the dim yellow light of the wall lamp, and his gaze swept directly to the figure on the bed.

Although Su Chenxi pretended to be asleep, she didn't look like she was asleep, especially when the man noticed her secretly tucking the blanket in.

"Still not asleep?" the man asked directly.

Su Chenxi had no choice but to turn over and look at him, "You're back!"

"Waiting for me?" The man's long, slender fingers were unbuttoning his shirt, as if he were going to take a shower.

"No!" Su Chenxi denied, she wasn't going to pretend that she cared about him.

The man's cold eyes narrowed instantly, and he sneered, "Thinking about that Gu guy so much you can't sleep?"
