Assistant Lin was Bai Lian’s personal assistant. Her name was Lin Xiu, and Bai Lian was used to calling her Assistant Lin.


When Lin Xiu heard this, she took her cup from her bag. The empty feeling of it made her panic.


She quickly apologized, “Sister Bai, I’m sorry. I forgot to replenish the water… I’ll go now!”


Bai Lian shook her head. “No need. This is your first time here. It’s troublesome for you to look for it, you can replenish it when you see it later.”


Lin Xiu took out her phone and was about to search for the water dispenser when she saw a large hand spread out in front of her.


“Give me the bottle. I’ll get her some water.”


Just as Lin Xiu was about to refuse, the cup in her hand was already taken away…


She looked at Bai Lian, not knowing what to do. Seeing her sweet face, she immediately stopped talking.


Su Wan was momentarily stunned.


She realized that Jing Chen was as good at taking care of her as he did with Bai Lian.


Or did he refine his ability because of Bai Lian?


She benefited because of Bai Lian? 



At the thought of this, Su Wan could not stand still. She looked at Jing Chen’s back with mixed feelings.


At the same time, she completely gave up on the idea of telling him about the child.


How could anyone bear to abandon their child?


Thinking about it this way, she was naive.


She was disheartened.


Bai Lian sensed her emotions and looked embarrassed. She said sweetly, “Jing Chen has always been like this. He always takes care of me. I’m sorry to have made you witness that.”


Su Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a complicated gaze. She smiled and pretended not to care. “Looks like you two are quite close.”


Bai Lian said proudly, “Of course.”


Then, she gestured for Assistant Lin to buy her some sweets.


After intentionally sending Assistant Lin away, she said even more brazenly, “By the way, you two are still husband and wife. Don’t try to get information out of me. It will be detrimental to Jing Chen if it is recorded and posted online by people with ill intentions.”


Ha, Su Wan looked at her in surprise. For a moment, she could not tell if this person was really thinking this way or if she was so stupid as to remind someone how to destroy Jing Chen.


That was a good idea.


But how could she bear to?


Su Wan couldn’t be bothered to reply. She didn’t even look at her.


How could Bai Lian stop there? “Aren’t you curious about my leg?”


“Nope.”


It was none of her business.


Bai Lian sneered. “What if my leg has something to do with you?”


“What do you mean?”


Su Wan frowned and stepped back subconsciously. She had never met her before. Wasn’t it inappropriate of her to accuse her?


“Sometimes, I envy you too. You were chosen by Grandpa. Even if Jing Chen doesn’t like you, you can still have him. You’re really enviable.”


Bai Lian said calmly.


In Su Wan’s eyes, it was like a bolt from the blue. It was fine if she knew about it, but now that she was exposed and humiliated by others, it made her feel extremely uncomfortable.


“You were the one who left on your own.”


To not be outdone, Su Wan retorted.


Unexpectedly, Bai Lian laughed out loud after hearing her words. “I left on my own accord? I was forced to leave! You don’t think that I don’t like Jing Chen, do you? My leg broke on the day of your wedding because I met with a car accident in my hurry to leave.”


“If I continue to pester Jing Chen, Grandpa will not let me off. In his heart, repaying his debt of gratitude is more important than Jing Chen’s happiness. You are so lucky.”


“Yet so pitiful.”


Bai Lian looked as if she had seen through everything as she said this mockingly. The corners of her lips stretched. Her last sentence was light and full of mockery, but when it landed on Su Wan, it felt like a thousand pounds.


Su Wan rubbed the center of her brows.


Back then, she felt compassion for Jing Chen because she liked him, but she was not stupid. She asked about Bai Lian.


She asked, “Jing Chen, if you still like Bai Lian, we can choose not to get married.”


“No, I want to marry you.”


“If it’s because of Grandpa, I can help you convince him. Don’t feel burdened…”


Jing Chen waved his hand. “It’s not because of Grandpa. Bai Lian and I broke up. We’re done. She hates me and won’t come back.”


Su Wan opened her mouth and looked at Jing Chen’s sad expression. She did not feel good either.


Jing Chen continued, “I still like her, but time might be able to soothe it. I might even fall in love with you.”


“However, Su Wan, I still have to remind you with all seriousness that if I don’t fall in love with you, I won’t settle either.”


“I can marry you, but I already have someone I like. Our marriage will last for three years. Three years later, you’ll be the one to propose the divorce to Grandpa.”


“If I don’t have someone I like, I won’t divorce you.”
