“Zhenting, today is my birthday. When will youe back? The guests have already arrived,” Shen Mei held her phone, coquettishlyining, “You promised to apany me today.”
“Alright, I’ll be back immediately,” he replied after a brief pause, hung up the phone, and turned to pick up his briefcase, heading outside.
Xiaofeng, you’re already gone. I’ll never have love again in this lifetime. For the sake of the children, I have to marry another woman. I’m sorry!
But in this lifetime, you’ll forever be my true love! The cherished lover in my heart!
Li Family Manor.<div>

As soon as Li Zhenting returned to the Yun Lake Vi, he saw that the house was decorated like a pce. There were even many reporters outside. He couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
It was just an ordinary birthday, yet Shen Mei had made such a big fuss. Even his grandparents’ and Li Wanqing’s birthdays had never been this ostentatious.
His face darkened.
Just as he reached the upstairs, preparing to go to the bedroom to change into casual clothes, he unexpectedly bumped into a woman who wasing out of a room.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” the woman seemed equally startled and immediately apologized.
Li Zhenting furrowed his brows, raised his eyes, and then froze.
It was Shen Ning!
Why would shee to the Li Family Manor at this time, and dressed in a maid’s uniform,ing out of his room? What’s she up to?
Shen Ning also hadn’t expected to run into Li Zhenting. Her face disyed surprise for a moment, then turned ice-cold. She bypassed him and continued walking.
“Hold on, what are you doing here?” he asked in a deep voice.
“I came to tidy up Ding Ding’s room and change the bedding for him,” Shen Ning replied indifferently.
“Tidying up the room?” Li Zhenting sneered at the corner of his lips. “Didn’t you arrive at 7 PMst night? You came this early to tidy up Ding Ding’s room? Do you think 1’11 believe that?”
“If you don’t believe it, then go ask your beloved woman, Shen Mei,” Shen Ning said, thinking about her current situation, feeling a deep pain. This scoundrel was the cause of all her troubles. She had no need to exin anything to him. After leaving those words, she walked away indifferently.
Li Zhenting watched her cold and distant figure, feeling somewhat irritated for no apparent reason.
What’s with this woman’s attitude?
Hadn’t he offended her yesterday? Yet, her attitude was so hostile!
He entered the bedroom and indeed found that the bedding had been changed. Ding Ding had sweated a lotst night, and she had been quite attentive.
Shen Ning descended the stairs. Earlier, when she had gone to Li Zhenting’s bedroom, it was because Ding Ding had been having recurring nightmares. She remembered that when she used to have bad dreams as a child, Shao Meiqi would always take off her pants and ce them under her pillow, with a small fruit knife pressed beneath them. Of course, she would never really put a knife under there, just a small fruit knife, which was said to ward off evil spirits.
Her mother had once said that it had to be her own mother’s pants, and no one could see them. So, she had quietlye upstairs.
Though it was superstitious, regardless of whether it worked or not, she didn’t want to see her child suffer like this at night and decided to give it a try.
“Shen Ning,” as soon as she went downstairs, Shen Mei called to her, “There are many guests outside. Serve each guest a cup of lemon tea.”
“Okay,” it was quite clear that they were using her as a maid, hoping to embarrass her and make her the subject of ridicule. However, she agreed nheless.
“Ning Ning,” she walked to the outdoor guest area with a tray of lemon tea cups and served each guest a cup. The guests were engaged in lively conversations, and nobody paid attention to her. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to slip away when suddenly, a man’s voice called her back..</font>
