Various dishes were already laid out on the table, their rich aromas tempting the mouths. A few candles were even placed there for ambiance; the red and white lights were off, and the candlelight flickered warmly in the dim night.

The air was even filled with a faint fragrance, clearly indicating that it had been carefully prepared.

"Wife, how can you be so virtuous? This is the first time I've seen you do so much in all these years of marriage. You've worked so hard." Wuyou smiled and patted Zhang Wenxiu's shoulder, looking overjoyed.

In reality, she was extremely disdainful. All the food on the table was ordered from takeout, and decorations could be obtained with money. She probably only did some basic decorations on the table.

Zhang Wenxiu chuckled twice and hurriedly and warmly invited the father and son to sit down and eat. She even opened a bottle of fine red wine and poured it for Wuyou.

"Honey, thank you for taking care of me and the children all these years. I have failed you. I have thought it through recently and I will definitely be a good wife from now on. I hope you can forgive my willfulness over the years."

Wuyou shook her head and said she dared not, but she had been being willful for far too long, for almost three years now.

"Wife, you should drink too. It's been a long time since we've had a proper meal together like this. After all, a good relationship between husband and wife is essential for a happy child." As Wuyou spoke, her eyes reddened, and she looked deeply moved. Jingtian immediately reached out his chubby little hand and patted Wuyou's shoulder to comfort her.

At the same time, he secretly observed Zhang Wenxiu's actions, not believing that his mother would change her mind.

Zhang Wenxiu curled his lip in disdain upon hearing this. Of course he wanted a happy marriage and to enjoy wealth and luxury, but not with a good-for-nothing like you.

This expression was caught by the sharp-eyed Li Jingtian. His eyes changed. He didn't think Zhang Wenxiu was someone to be trifled with, after all, she had come up with some wicked plan.

Thinking of this, he immediately clutched his stomach, his little face scrunched up, and his little mouth uttered a sound mixed with sobs. "Daddy, my tummy hurts so much, will you come with me to the toilet?"

Although he has the body and soul of a child, he is still an adult. Since he became independent, Li Jingtian has been exceptionally independent, and it is rare for him to act like this and ask for company. Wuyou knew that the child had something to say as soon as she heard it, and a worried expression appeared on her face.

Reaching out to touch Li Jingtian's chubby belly, Wuyou's voice drifted over. "Did you eat something bad at lunch? I'll get you some medicine later."

The father and son were such good actors that even Zhang Wenxiu couldn't see through their act and watched them go to the toilet.

The two went to the restroom, and Jingtian tugged at Wuyou's sleeve. After Wuyou squatted down, Jingtian whispered in her ear, "Dad, I think Mom is acting strangely. Be careful."

He couldn't say much else, after all, he was just a child, and saying too much would easily arouse suspicion. But Li Jingtian was more worried that because of his status as a child, Wuyou wouldn't believe him at all and would take his words as childish ramblings.

"Yes, your mother was indeed very enthusiastic today. I will keep a close eye on her and make sure nothing goes wrong with her." She glanced at the other person's chubby little face and then went to get Li Jingtian's medicine. She didn't think an adult's soul could stand her watching over him.

Li Jingtian felt conflicted. He was glad that Wuyou had listened to his advice, but he was also conflicted about his father's feelings for Zhang Wenxiu. If the truth were to be revealed, wouldn't his father be extremely heartbroken?

With a deep sigh, Li Jingtian felt that perhaps only he could properly comfort his father, who was heartbroken.

"Jingtian, go back to sleep. Your father and I need to have a good talk and enjoy some time alone." Zhang Wenxiu couldn't let the child know about this, so she made up an excuse to send him back.

"Ugh... I don't want to, I want Daddy to sleep with me." Li Jingtian shook his head desperately, like a rattle-drum, clinging to Wuyou's leg and refusing to let go.

"Alright, Xiao Jing has school tomorrow, you should go and rest first. Your parents will rest later." Wu You understood Li Jingtian's worries, patted his head, and sent him back to his room.

After that, Zhang Wenxiu began drinking even more intensely, as if she were addicted and wouldn't stop for a moment. Anyway, she had already taken hangover medicine in advance, so she wasn't afraid of drinking too much.

Wuyou cooperated very well, drinking several bottles of baijiu without any reaction, which made Zhang Wenxiu a little anxious. What was wrong with this guy? No matter how much she poured him alcohol, he wouldn't get drunk. He was clearly drunk shortly after she tried to get him drunk before. Zhang Wenxiu was extremely worried.

"Ugh... I'm so dizzy, I can't drink anymore." Seeing that it was almost time, Wuyou held her temples with her hands, her head swaying back and forth, her eyes narrowed into slits, and her cheeks were flushed, looking completely drunk.

"Drink some more." Zhang Wenxiu's eyes lit up. Actually, she was already a little drunk and couldn't hold on any longer. Hearing Wuyou's words, she was like she had been injected with chicken blood. Her head was no longer dizzy, and she immediately started pouring more alcohol, trying to get him drunk until he was unconscious.

As night fell, Wuyou finally collapsed onto the table, reeking of alcohol, her face flushed, completely drunk.

"Phew..." Zhang Wenxiu dropped the wine bottle in her hand to the ground, her whole body went limp, and she let out a long sigh of relief. She had finally gotten her drunk; if she hadn't, she probably would have gotten drunk herself.

Slapping her cheeks hard to clear her mind, Zhang Xiu carefully put on gloves, took out a knife, picked up Wuyou's hand, and imprinted Wuyou's fingerprints in the most precise spot.

Following Sun Fei's instructions, she made some preparations. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Wenxiu helped Wuyou to lie down on the sofa, pretending to be nonchalant.

After everyone left, Li Jingtian, who had been peeking through the crack in the door, came out and shook Wuyou's body vigorously.

"Dad, Dad, why are you drunk and asleep here?" The events of his past life had finally come back to haunt him. Fortunately, he was prepared this time and was determined not to let his father take the blame for someone else again.

Afterwards, Wuyou groggily opened her eyes, rubbing her forehead and frowning, looking very uncomfortable. "Okay, I know. I'm a little dizzy. Don't shake me. I'm going to rest. I have to go to school tomorrow morning. Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Li Jingtian put his hands behind his back, his eyes darting around nervously, feeling a little guilty. Fortunately, Wuyou didn't ask any further questions and went back to sleep. In doing so, Li Jingtian forgot to remind Wuyou of what he had said.
