A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

After the first class in the afternoon, Shen Nian rushed to Chen Ping's residence. To save time, she didn't take the subway and took a taxi directly from the school.

Upon arrival, Chen Ping seemed to have been prepared, taking a file folder from the drawer and placing it in front of Shen Nian.

"Aunt Chen, this is..." Shen Nian looked at the things on the table, then at Chen Ping, feeling her heart pounding and inexplicably feeling a little nervous.

Chen Ping smiled at her and said, "Open it and take a look first."

Shen Nian picked up the file folder, gently opened it, and as she pulled out the document inside, the word 'will' caught her eye. "Aunt Chen, this is..." Perhaps because she was a little excited, Shen Nian's voice trembled slightly.

"This is your mother's will, the original." Chen Ping reassured Shen Nian.

"Aunt Chen, how did you get this..." Shen Nian knew how difficult it was to obtain the original document.

“After you came to me to ask about this last time, I’ve been thinking about it. One of my students came to see me last time. He’s Shen’s current legal counsel, and I casually asked about it. It turns out that this document does exist. Of course, the original can’t be taken out casually. If you have to blame someone, blame your stepmother for being too ruthless. She found my student and put all sorts of pressure on him, threatening him to destroy the document and deny its existence. After my student refused, he found an opportunity to take the document out and hand it over to me.”

Chen Ping explained slowly.

Shen Nian was a little worried about the lawyer who brought the documents out. "Will your student be alright?"

"Don't worry, this will has already been notarized. Even without the original, as long as you get married, you can inherit the shares of Shen's Group." Chen Ping held Shen Nian's hand and sighed, "I've worked at Shen's for so many years and have watched you grow up. If your mother were still here, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."

Shen Nian took out her phone and took a picture of the contents of the will. "Aunt Chen, I won't take the original. You can have your student take it back. I just need to know the contents. Don't worry, I will definitely not give up the shares that belong to my mother to others."

Knowing that a will truly existed gave Shen Nian a greater sense of confidence.

Just as Shen Nian stepped out of Chen Ping's residence, she received a call from an unknown number. She hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button, only to find it was her father, Shen Guoqiang.

This was the first time the two had spoken on the phone since their last unpleasant encounter.

She had previously blocked everyone from the Shen family, and she never expected her father to call her using a different phone.

"Niannian, come home for dinner tonight. It's your birthday. Come home and let's celebrate together as a family." Shen Guoqiang's voice reached Shen's ears, but she felt no warmth from his concern. As the saying goes, "No one visits the temple without a reason," which perfectly describes her father. If he didn't need to see her, he would never think of celebrating her birthday. After all, he had never celebrated her birthday even once since her mother passed away!

"No need, I'm afraid it'll be another trap." Shen Nian refused without any politeness.

"You..." Shen Guoqiang's breath caught in his throat, as if he was about to curse again, but he swallowed it back. He put on a smile and said in a kind tone, "What are you saying, child? What 'Feast at Hongmen'? How is celebrating your birthday at home a 'Feast at Hongmen'? Hurry up, I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up from school. Dad will make your favorite braised pork. I'll cook it myself today. Later, I'll have your aunt and Manman go buy a cake that young people like. It's settled then."

Shen Guoqiang hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, without giving Shen Nian a chance to refuse.

Shen Nian stared at the now-black phone screen for a while, then put the phone back in her pocket and walked straight toward the subway station.

She had no intention of going back to stage a scene of father-daughter affection and celebrating a birthday with Shen Guoqiang. Having learned her lesson once, she wouldn't repeat it. She would never go back to that home.

When Shen Nian returned to school by subway, it was already getting dark. She opened her dorm room door, but no one was there; everyone else hadn't returned yet. Shen Nian put her backpack on a chair, intending to go to the bathroom to wash her hands, change her clothes, and order takeout.

She had already decided what to order for takeout: a bowl of spicy mala tang (a type of spicy hot pot) and a cup of milk tea to celebrate her birthday.

Shen Nian lowered her head and tidied her schoolbag when suddenly the dormitory lights went out.

She thought it was a power outage, so she looked up out the window. The lights in the other dorm rooms were still on. Shen Nian put down what she was holding and prepared to go find the dorm supervisor to take a look. She guessed that it was probably a light bulb that was broken.

She had just turned around when she saw her three roommates standing at the door with a cake in their hands.

"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday~"

Wu Sisi, Lin Ling, and Chen Jia sang "Happy Birthday" as they slowly walked up to Shen Nian with a cake in their hands.

Shen Nian stood there with red eyes, deeply moved. "You...don't you all have things to do tonight? Why..." Her voice was hoarse and choked with emotion, as if tears were about to fall from her eyes at any moment.

"The most important thing for us tonight is to order a cake and celebrate your birthday with you!" The three roommates looked at each other and then answered in unison.

"Hurry up and make a wish, we can't wait to eat the cake," Lin Ling urged.

Shen Nian clasped her hands together in front of her, closed her eyes, made her birthday wish for the year, and then blew out the candles.

Wu Sisi ran to turn on the dormitory lights. The four of them moved a small table and placed it in the middle. Around the table, Shen Nian cut the cake, one piece for each person, and they happily ate it.

Ice cream cake, so delicious.

This warm and joyful atmosphere filled Shen Nian's heart. She remembered the wish she had just made.

May every birthday from now on be as joyful as today.

After eating the ice cream cake, Chen Jia took out a lot of snacks from her cabinet to share with everyone. "Today, I've brought out all the snacks I've been saving. You should eat them while you can, because they'll be gone after today."

Everyone rushed forward and grabbed a bag of food.

Just as Shen Nian was about to open the potato chips, Lin Ling suddenly smeared cake on her face. Wu Sisi and Chen Jia joined in, and in the end, the four of them were making a ruckus, with cake all over their faces and clothes.

After the cake fight ended, Shen Nian changed clothes and wiped her face in the bathroom.

Standing on the balcony, Chen Jia glanced downstairs and screamed, running and shouting, "Niannian, Niannian, come quick, your husband is here!"

Shen Nian, who was in the restroom, was startled.

husband? !
