Bai Jiawei and even Li Yuyan and Su Zhiming were home.

When she walked over, they looked towards her and Su Zhiming stood up from the couch. Bai Jiawei glanced at her and frowned slightly, "Come sit down."

"What's up?" He Xinyan asked as she casually sat down on the couch and ate a slice of apple from the plate of fruits on the table.

Bai Jiawei's frown deepened as Li Huiran sat up straighter and said, "It's almost your dad's 60th birthday soon."

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow and realized that Bai Jiawei's birthday was in less than two weeks.

Noticing that she wasn't planning on saying anything, Li Huiran continued, "Yuyan and Zhiming brought up the idea of holding a party for his birthday. Plus, 60 is a big birthday, so there is definitely going to be a celebration."

"Oh, cool. What do I need to do?" He Xinyan asked apathetically.

Bai Jiawei's face darkened and it was obvious he wasn't pleased with his daughter's attitude, "You don't have to do anything. Just come and attend the party. Yuyan and Zhiming will do the rest."

He Xinyan smirked. Her father just wanted to say that he didn't trust her to plan his birthday party, and she wasn't as competent as Li Yuyan.

But, she didn't want to help anyway.

He Xinyan stood up from the couch and smiled, "Well, if that's it, I will be going to bed. Good night."

Without waiting for a response, He Xinyan left.

Li Huiran sighed and looked down, "Yanyan isn't a teenager anymore, but she is still so rebellious and inconsiderate of the family. Yuyan, you have to be a good kid and help the family, okay?"

"Of course, mom. Don't worry."

Bai Jiawei frustratingly stood up and glared at the staircase before walking away.

Li Huiran smiled softly before looking at her daughter, "You and Zhiming should go home."

Inside her room, He Xinyan was deep in her thoughts.

60th birthday party. . .

She remembered this birthday party clearly because Bai Jiawei and Li Huiran made a huge fuss about it, saying how important the 60th birthday was.

However, the grand celebration wasn't what made a deep mark in her memory. It was what happened at the party. . .

In the past, she had thought it was an accident. But thinking back now, it didn't seem like a pure accident anymore.

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow as a small smile appeared on her face.

The balcony door slipped open and a man walked in. He casually walked over to her bed and sat down next to Xinyan.

He Xinyan glanced at him and narrowed her eyes, "You are treating my room like your own house now, aren't you?"

Gu Yechen nodded, "Is it not?"

He Xinyan stared at him and sighed, "It is, it is. Happy?"

Gu Yechen licked his lips and smiled, "So. . . if your room is mine, then if I adjust it a little, can I say. . . you are mine?"

He Xinyan scrunched her face up and pushed him away, "Do you have no shame?!"

"No. Can shame help me get a wife?"

He Xinyan didn't respond as she walked into the restroom and locked the door.

A few minutes later, she was on the bed, lying next to the "shameless man".

The next day, the preparations already began. When He Xinyan went downstairs, no one was at the breakfast table.

Bai Jiawei had left for work already, Li Yuyan was on the phone and it seemed like she was trying to book a hotel for the party, and Li Huiran was on the couch, writing on a piece of paper.

He Xinyan ignored them and walked over to the dining table to eat.

After Li Yuyan hung up the call, her fake sweet voice immediately changed as she asked annoyingly, "Are you not going to help?!"

He Xinyan didn't even look at her, "Dad said I didn't need to do anything. Are you complaining about what you have to do?"

"No!" Li Yuyan glared at her, but Li Huiran suddenly stood up, "Yuyan, come and check to see if I am missing any guests to invite. Have you booked the second floor lobby of the Dasi Hotel yet?"

Li Yuyan rolled her eyes at He Xinyan before walking over to her mom, "Yes, don't worry about that. However, it was a little expensive to book nine hours."

Li Huiran sighed, "Your dad said to book the Dasi Hotel. It's okay."

He Xinyan quickly finished her food before going back up the stairs to go get ready for filming. Bai Jiawei only insisted on booking the Dasi Hotel because it was the best hotel in the country, and he didn't want to lose face at his birthday party.

He Xinyan quickly changed into a simple shirt and pants before leaving the house.

The days passed by quickly as everyone around her was busy making arrangements for the large birthday party.

Bai Jiawei was also in a very good mood these days because everything was about him and he felt proud to have such a grand birthday party.

However, his success was all from the He family. . . And seeing how three people completely not related to the He family were using the He family's wealth to arrange a birthday party for the person that killed her mother made He Xinyan very annoyed and angry.

A week before the birthday party, He Xinyan woke up to a knocking at the door. She blinked her eyes open and sat up frustratingly.

"What?!"

"He Xinyan, open the door! Why is it locked?"

He Xinyan immediately recognized Li Yuyan's voice and she glanced at the man next to her. He had also woken up and he was staring at her without moving.

"What are you doing? Go hide in the restroom or something!"

He still didn't move and He Xinyan tried to push him off of the bed, but he stayed frozen like a statue.

"He Xinyan!"

She kicked him frustratingly before walking over to the door and opening it, "What is it?"

Li Yuyan took a step forward but He Xinyan quickly stopped her.

"Hurry up. I want to go back to sleep."

Li Yuyan tried to look past He Xinyan and peek into the room, but she was shorter than her.

Frustratingly, she glared at He Xinyan and crossed her arms together, "Hurry up. At 11, we are going to go pick out dresses for dad's birthday party."

She looked into the room once more before leaving. He Xinyan closed the door and locked it before walking over to the bed.

"Gu! Ye! Chen!"

Gu Yechen scratched his head calmly and laid back down, "Come sleep."

He Xinyan wanted to scold him but she was indeed still tired, so she just climbed onto the bed to sleep. Gu Yechen pulled her into his embrace again, and she angrily punched his chest, which only made him smile.

"So annoying. . ." She muttered before falling asleep.

When she woke up again, it was 10 already and Gu Yechen was gone. She changed and walked downstairs to find Li Yuyan, Li Huiran, and Su Zhiming all sitting on the couch.

They seemed to be waiting for her.

When they saw her, Li Huiran stood up, "Let's go."

---

They stopped at the street filled with expensive formal clothing shops, and He Xinyan recognized it because this was the street Qin Lai's shop was also located.

They got out of the car and walked into the first shop on the street, also the most popular one.

Li Huiran had made a reservation, and a worker brought them into the shop where all of the dresses were located. The shop was empty at the moment, and Li Yuyan immediately began excitedly searching through the dresses.

"Zhiming, how does this one look?" She asked, holding up a red dress.

Su Zhiming glanced at the dress before nodding his head, "Good, good."

He Xinyan also walked around the shop but didn't really focus on choosing dresses. In the end, she sat down on a chair and began scrolling through her phone.

After a few minutes, Li Yuyan and Li Huiran had both picked out a dress, and they were going to go try it.

Li Huiran, being the great stepmother she was outside, walked over to Xinyan and smiled, "Yanyan, did you pick anything yet?"

He Xinyan glanced at her and stood up, walking over to a random rack of dresses. She carelessly grabbed a blue dress and followed them over to the changing room.

However, the first floor only had two large changing rooms, so He Xinyan followed the worker up to the second floor.

On the second floor, there were even more dresses and He Xinyan put down the blue dress she had picked out to look through the dresses here.

She ended up grabbing a beautiful white dress that had several lace flowers dotted on it. Besides the flowers, there were also several different sized pearls on the dress, and it made the dress look even more elegant and beautiful.

He Xinyan walked into the changing room and closed the curtain before taking off her clothes. She slipped on the dress and stretched her hand around to her back to pull up the zipper.

However, the zipper got stuck halfway and she couldn't pull it up no matter how hard she tried.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed onto the zipper and gently pulled it.

The zipper easily went up and He Xinyan turned around, thinking it was a worker, "Thank you."

However, when she saw who it was, He Xinyan gasped.
