Chapter 5: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
"Today is Brother Xingjian's birthday. Let's not be upset, and let's not make things difficult for Brother Xingjian. Let's celebrate his birthday happily, okay?"
[No wonder she’s Li Qingxue's sister. She knows how to quickly diminish herself to earn Hou Xingjian's sympathy and pity.]
Shen Cheng shrugged indifferently, "I don't care! Miss Li wants to celebrate his birthday, not me."
Upon hearing this, Li An An's eyes flashed with surprise.
She stared at Shen Cheng in disbelief, as if she didn't recognize her at all.
Is this Shen Cheng? How could she say such things? Why does she seem so uninterested in Hou Xingjian?
Hasn’t she always been like a clingy nuisance, always sticking to Hou Xingjian and not allowing him to interact with any other women?
Why is she different today?
Private Room
Just as Shen Cheng "said," there was no one else.
If he hadn't insisted on bringing Shen Cheng along, the private room would have been just him and Li An An.
Scanning the empty private room, Hou Xingjian furrowed his brows, clearly displeased.
Originally, he had some doubts about Shen Cheng’s words.
But now, he believed it completely.
"Brother Xingjian." Li An An held two glasses of wine, handing one to him, smiling sweetly and charmingly, "Happy birthday! This glass of wine is for you, along with my sister's wishes."
At this point, her eyes welled up with a faint shimmer, and her voice carried a hint of nasal tone, "If only my sister could wake up. She would definitely want to personally give you her birthday wishes."

Hou Xingjian took the glass of red wine from her hand.
[Got it, got it! Once this glass of wine is downed, my divorce will be nailed down for sure! Great, great! As long as I stay away from Hou Xingjian, I won’t die!]
She stared intently at the glass of wine in Hou Xingjian’s hand, her expression expectant, as if saying, "Hurry up and drink! Once you drink it, we can proceed with the plan."
Hou Xingjian had an overwhelming urge to strangle her.
"Um, I need to go to the restroom for a moment." Seeing that he wasn't drinking, Shen Cheng cleverly made up an excuse and quickly left.
[Hurry up and leave the crime scene, then turn around and catch these two dog lovers in the act. Present the divorce in front of all those witnesses as the victim.]
[Yeah, that’s the plan. The awakened dog is going to embark on a new journey!]
[In this world, handsome men are like forests, vast and endless. There's no need to hang yourself on this crooked tree!]
[Stay away from Hou Xingjian, and life will be full of joy and spring winds!]
Shen Cheng almost hummed a cheerful tune as she ran out of the room.
She didn’t notice the cold, sinister curve at the corner of Hou Xingjian’s lips, resembling the King of Hell, sending a chill down her spine.
As for Li An An, seeing Shen Cheng leave so willingly, she felt very satisfied.
If only Shen Cheng had always been this agreeable, she would have long been Hou Xingjian's woman.
"Brother Xingjian, happy birthday." Li An An clinked her wine glass against Hou Xingjian's, smiling like a blooming flower.
"What's this? No birthday gift?" Hou Xingjian asked slowly, without drinking.
"Ah!" Li An An suddenly remembered, slapping her forehead, "How could I forget! Of course, I have a gift for you!"
Saying this, she put her glass down on the table and turned to grab the bag from the sofa.
Hou Xingjian quickly swapped the two glasses of wine.
He certainly wouldn’t let Li An An have her way.
The extra care he had shown her over the past two years was due to his guilt over Li Qingxue.
After all, Li Qingxue was lying in a coma in the hospital because of him.
But that didn’t give Li An An the right to act recklessly, let alone plot against him.
As for Li Qingxue...
It seemed he would need to investigate that situation as well.
And the "male lead" Shen Cheng mentioned... he would investigate him thoroughly too.
Li An An had no idea that the two glasses of wine had been swapped.
She took out the carefully prepared birthday gift from her bag and walked back to him, handing him the exquisitely wrapped box. "Brother Xingjian, this is your birthday gift from me."
"I really appreciate all your care over the years. Now that my work is stable, and I have someone I like, you have to accept this gesture from me."
"Sister would want you to be happy too."
Hou Xingjian took the gift and placed it directly on the table, then took a sip of the red wine. "Just don't disappoint your sister."
Seeing him drink the wine, Li An An was excited beyond measure.
She had made sure to put enough substance into this glass of wine.
A single sip would be enough to make him lose control.
Quickly lifting her own glass, she smiled sweetly, taking a sip. "I won’t disappoint you. Brother Xingjian, I..."
"I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first." Hou Xingjian interrupted her, putting down the glass and turning to leave.
"Brother Xingjian!" Li An An quickly put down her glass, taking a step forward to hug him.
But, it was as if he had eyes on the back of his head. He swiftly avoided her arms before they could touch him.
"Li An An, know your limits!" he said, leaving those words behind as he opened the door and walked out.
Li An An tugged at her collar, feeling a bit dazed. Her mouth felt dry, her body burning up, and she was very uncomfortable.

Bathroom
Shen Cheng stood at the sink, washing her hands slowly.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but smile faintly.
She really despised her old self! How could she be so shameless, clinging on for so many years?
If she hadn't accidentally fallen into the water this morning, awakening herself, she might have continued in that shameless pursuit.
