Revenge Sevenfold

"Ah, that..." Hui Yin scratched her head.

It was the calendar where she encircled important dates she remembered in her past life, in case she forgot them. Because it was her second chance to live a happy life, Hui Yin didn't dare to be careless.

Not only the calendar, she also had a secret planner where she jotted down notes about things that happened on her former life. She wanted to see if she could change some of them, and even use them to her advantage.

It wasn't the only reason though.

Hui Yin was aware that because she changed some things in this life, it would cause a butterfly effect in the future. She wanted to know how big of a ripple it caused, and if the changes would have some unfixable consequences.

Hui Yin even researched on the theory of being 'reborn', and why it had happened to her. So far, she only had vague theories with little to no scientific evidence to support them. Hui Yin felt her head ache at the thought of it.

"It's just my schedule," said Hui Yin.

She wasn't really lying. It was the schedule of her life.

"'Party?'" Little Wuji curiously read the label on the nearest circle.

Hui Yin glanced at it, and the corner of her lips quirked. That's right, that 'party' was drawing near. She couldn't wait to attend it.

"Stop being so nosy." Hui Yin lightly poked the tip of Little Wuji's nose. "Come on, let's go sleep. Baby Shang looks tired."

They got on the bed, with Hui Yin positioned between them. After giving the two little buns a gentle goodnight kiss on their forehead, Hui Yin turned off the lamp.

In the darkness, Little Wuji wondered why he noticed a chilling coldness in his Wifey's eyes.

...

It was midnight when Lu Shen finally arrived home.

As usual, the villa was shrouded in darkness, empty and desolate. Lu Shen usually didn't bother to call driver Cheng after work-hours, so he was the one who drove himself home.

After parking the car inside the garage, he went inside the kitchen to brew himself some coffee. There were still some e-mails he needed to respond to, not to mention the unfinished work he had left inside his study.

There were some dishes on the dining table left by the housekeeper, which Lu Shen did not even glance at. He had only temporarily hired one housemaid for privacy, since the villa did not need much upkeep. He was the only one living here, and Lu Shen was what you would call a neat freak.

Truthfully, the housekeeper did not even have much to do, which was discrepant with her large salary. She would have fought tooth and nail against anyone who dared to take away this sweet job from her hands, where you could reap without sowing.

Mixing brown sugar into his coffee, Lu Shen grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the wine bar and poured it into his cup, before topping it with thick cream. Sipping his coffee, he slowly went up the arched staircase to the second floor, which only contained three rooms.

Going through his normal routine, Lu Shen was about to enter his study when he abruptly paused. Turning around, he bypassed his bedroom and opened the door that was only a couple of feet away. Although the second floor of the villa was spacious enough to have six bedrooms, Lu Shen intentionally placed 'her' room only a short distance away from his own bedroom.

Flicking on the light switch and leaning against the doorway, Lu Shen inspected the room with slight approval. He had given specific instructions to the interior decorating team, and they had done their job extremely well.
