Chapter 5.2: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
13: "Host, have you really decided to divorce Huo Xingjian?"
Shen Cheng: "Of course! If I don't divorce, am I supposed to keep being a shameless, self-respecting doormat, letting him waste my time? How low would I have to be to keep acting like a doormat after waking up?"
13: "If you do that, you'll get farther and farther from the female lead. It's even possible that you'll have no connection with her at all."
Shen Cheng: "That’s great! Let Huo Xingjian and the male lead fight for the female lead! I just want to enjoy life and live leisurely!"
She wiped her hands with a tissue, humming a cheerful tune as she walked out of the bathroom.
Then...
"You... What are you doing here?!" She looked at Huo Xingjian, who should have been "together" with Li An An, in shock.
Chapter 5: This Medicine Isn’t Strong Enough
Huo Xingjian glanced at her. "If I'm not here, where should I be?"
【Of course, you should be with Li An An, 'in the act,' with all that 'uh-huh' and 'ah-ah,' the pleasure between you two!】
Shen Cheng smiled, pursing her lips. "Everyone has three urgent needs, I understand, I understand!"
【Once you're done, hurry back to the private room! Li An An is still waiting for you! If you don't 'together' with her, how can I talk about a divorce? How can I become the weak party and take more money?】
【What’s going on with Li An An? I’ve already created an opportunity for you! Can’t you just put more medicine in? Stronger?】
"Shen Cheng!" Huo Xingjian said through gritted teeth, her name coming out like it was being squeezed from his teeth.
"What?" Shen Cheng shot him an annoyed glance, stepping back two steps to put some distance between them.

Seeing this, Huo Xingjian took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger rising in his chest.
"Where's the birthday gift?"
【What? A birthday gift? Did I lose my mind? Why would I prepare a gift for you? My goal right now is to get as far away from you as possible!】
【A doormat who’s awakened will never do anything that shames themselves again!】
"I didn’t have time to prepare it since you rushed me out of there! It’s not like I didn’t want to," she shrugged innocently and helplessly. "But I think Mr. Huo doesn't mind. Miss Li probably prepared something special for you, something you'd like."
"Mr. Huo?" Huo Xingjian lightly bit the words and took a step toward her.
He was tall, and Shen Cheng felt like a mountain was pressing down on her.
At 169 cm, she wasn’t exactly short, but in front of him, she barely reached his shoulder.
【Damn it! Why does this man have to be so tall?!】
【Hey, hey! Why is he getting so close to me?】
【Could it be... I'm done for! Did the drug Li An An gave her start working? Is he trying to use me as an antidote? No, no, no! I don’t want this!】
"You... what are you doing?" Shen Cheng stepped back repeatedly, her pretty apricot eyes filled with fear.
As he closed in on her, she instinctively raised her hands to push him away. "Don’t mess around! We’re in public!"
Huo Xingjian looked down at her from above, his eagle-like eyes narrowing slightly, giving off an unmistakable dangerous aura.
"What's wrong? Have you forgotten how needy you were last night? How you begged on me? You called me 'husband' at dawn, and now you call me 'Mr. Huo'?"
His deep, magnetic voice sounded above her head, drilling into her ears.
If this had been the old Shen Cheng, she would have been completely captivated by the enchanting sound, unable to resist.
But now, Shen Cheng absolutely wouldn’t fall for it.
She not only held the script but also had the system at her disposal. She had already shaken off all the romantic and love-sick nonsense from her mind.
"Oh, it's just a normal psychological need for adults! Besides, we are legally married, just fulfilling each other’s needs for pleasure!" She smiled, speaking with a calm expression.
Seeing her so unaffected and indifferent, Huo Xingjian felt an intense urge to strangle her.
"Grandpa just called and wants us to go back to the old house." Huo Xingjian said in a low voice.
"Now?" Shen Cheng asked, looking surprised and confused.
"Now!" He glanced at her and turned to walk out.
【So, did he get drugged or not? He doesn't look like he did... Did Li An An not drug him?】
【It shouldn’t be! According to the plot, he was supposed to have been set up by Li An An today!】
【Wait, no! It wasn’t exactly a successful setup, just halfway there. He drank the drink Li An An spiked. But as a doormat, I arrived just in time.】
【So, we still ended up together. But this dog of a man didn't care about the details and just insisted that I was the one who drugged him.】
【Afterward, I went to settle scores with Li An An and gave her a good beating. But somehow, she ended up being assaulted by someone.】
【Li An An insists that I drugged her, and some man tarnished her. This dog of a man would rather believe Li An An than me. He forced me to apologize to Li An An and kneel in front of her until she forgave me.】
【He left, but it cost me an ear. Li An An slapped me so hard that my left ear went deaf.】
【Dog of a man, I really don't know how you ended up in charge of Huo Corporation. You have no brains at all! Oh, no! Every time you meet the sisters Li Qingxue and Li An An, your brain just shuts down!】
【You deserve to be killed off by the male lead! And have your company swallowed by him!】
Huo Xingjian, walking ahead of her, paused. His tall frame staggered slightly.
Li An An slapped her so hard that her left ear went deaf? The male lead killed him off? His company was swallowed?
So, who exactly was the male lead in her story?
Yes, he had always been considerate of Li An An, mostly because she was Li Qingxue’s sister.
But all of this was simply because he felt guilty toward Li Qingxue. After all, it was because of him that Li Qingxue had been in a coma for three years.
Therefore, all of Li Qingxue's medical expenses for those three years were covered by him. Taking care of Li An An, her only sister, was his responsibility.
He had never harbored any romantic feelings for Li Qingxue.
How could she think that he liked Li Qingxue? And that she was competing with the male lead for him?
Was Huo Xingjian the type of man who would lose his mind over a woman?
His brows furrowed, and his eyes darkened with a cold and grim expression.
The most important thing right now was to figure out who the male lead she was talking about actually was.
……
The car drove into the Wen family's old residence.
Old Master Wen was Huo Xingjian’s maternal grandfather, and he was the one member of the entire Huo family who treated Shen Cheng the best, and he genuinely cared for her.
When Shen Cheng had relentlessly pursued Huo Xingjian in the past, he had never shown any interest in her, and could even be said to have disliked her.
Later, Shen Cheng shifted her attention to Old Master Wen.
There’s an old saying: if you can’t win over the man you like, try winning over his family first.
Huo Xingjian listened most to his grandfather’s words.
Shen Cheng did not disappoint; after several attempts, she had managed to become close friends with Old Master Wen.
Then, in a rather despicable and shameless move, she drugged Huo Xingjian at a family banquet and slept with him.
A month later, she showed Old Master Wen a pregnancy test with two red lines.
Old Master Wen decisively told Huo Xingjian to marry her.
Thus, she had successfully put her name in the spouse column and became Mrs. Huo.
"Xiao Chengzi is here! Have you missed Grandpa?" Old Master Wen smiled warmly at Shen Cheng.
【If Huo Xingjian's death is the result of his own actions, then Old Master Wen's death was the most unjust.】
What?!
Old Master Wen’s smile froze on his face.
He looked at Shen Cheng in shock.
