On the day of the divorce, I became Qin Shao's darling.

The celebration for their marriage registration was originally scheduled for tonight, but it was canceled because Lin Xiwei was in a bad mood. Qin Jiamo then worked overtime and only just got back now.

When Lin Xiwei saw him, she recalled the crazy scene at home that morning, and how they got their marriage certificate today and officially became husband and wife.

Although she hasn't quite gotten used to being Mrs. Qin, as a wife, she has her own moral standards.

Qin Jiamo walked in and had just taken off his trench coat when Lin Xiwei stepped forward to take it from him and hang it up for him.

Her natural and casual movement startled Attorney Qin, who stared at her blankly.

Lin Xiwei turned around and saw him staring at her, slightly puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," he said, a hint of unease crossing his face. "It's just... I haven't realized I have a wife yet."

"..." Lin Xiwei pursed her lips, thinking to herself: I'm not used to you becoming my husband yet.

"Have you had dinner?" she asked softly, changing the subject.

"I ate it. Fangfang ordered food to be delivered to my office."

"oh."

Qin Jiamo asked again, "Have you eaten?"

"They ate. They came to the hospital to eat with their godparents. After the meal, they went back home."

"Um."

Although they are already husband and wife, they act like strangers to each other.

It was just awkward small talk.

The chat ended abruptly.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, as if a crow had flown overhead, followed by a row of ellipses.

The two looked at each other, and Qin Jiamo frowned, feeling that this way of getting along was very strange.

Lin Xiwei noticed it too.

To break the awkward silence, she took the initiative to start a conversation: "Um... you should go home tonight, I'll stay with Junjun."

"No need, I'll be alone if I go back anyway." Qin Jiamo walked to the bedside, looked at the sleeping Junjun, and said softly, "I'll stay too."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Xiwei, his lips slightly pressed together, and said, "It's our wedding day, isn't it? What would it look like if we separated?"

Lin Xiwei felt a surge of warmth in her chest, and thinking back to the scene when they got their marriage certificate, her mood inexplicably improved.

"I'm sorry, we were supposed to celebrate tonight, but it's canceled because of me. You...aren't angry, are you?"

Qin Jiamo walked towards her, sighed softly, and placed his hand on her shoulder. "What's there to be angry about? It's a special situation today, I can understand. Let's wait until the weekend, and invite them both out for a couple of drinks."

On one hand, an elderly person is passing away, and on the other hand, a wedding is being celebrated; it's certainly a bit of a divide.

If a person is still alive, they can hate and take revenge however they want.

But the person is dead, and we should still show them basic respect.

Seeing that he wasn't angry about it, Lin Xiwei immediately relaxed a bit and continued, "I transferred 100,000 yuan to Su Yunfan as funeral expenses for the old man. Don't you think I'm stupid?"

His expression was calm, and the hand that rested on her shoulder casually pinched a tuft of her hair, stroking it between his fingers.

"No. If doing this makes you feel at ease, then you should do it. Even if outsiders think you're foolish, you don't need to pay attention or explain yourself."

Ultimately, the principle of conduct in life is to seek inner peace and tranquility.

If 100,000 yuan can buy peace of mind, then it's worth the money.

Moreover, 100,000 is nothing to them, but for Su Yunfan at this moment, it can give his father a final moment of dignity.

Su Yunfan has paid a heavy price for his actions, so there's no need for him to be indifferent or kick someone when they're down after they've lost a loved one.

Lin Xiwei looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with surprise.

"I never expected that Attorney Qin, who usually speaks so bluntly, would also be so good at comforting people."

Qin Jiamo looked up, smiled elegantly, and then looked down at her.

"My sharp tongue doesn't mean I don't understand social etiquette. For example, the Lin family used to be eyeing you and sucking your blood, so it was right of you not to give in. But now that the dead are respected, it's also right of you to give in voluntarily."

As a person, you should be calculating when you need to be, and generous when you need to be.

Lin Xiwei nodded. "That's what I thought too, so when I learned that his father had passed away, I transferred the money. He thanked me, and he sounded quite sincere."

Qin Jiamo frowned upon hearing this, recalling what her mother had said on the phone earlier that day.

"Luckily, you and Weiwei got your marriage certificate quickly. I think that guy clearly regrets it and definitely wants to remarry. If his father had passed away, and he had shown weakness to Weiwei at this critical juncture, maybe Weiwei would have softened and given in."

At the time, he was very certain that it wouldn't happen.

But judging from Lin Xiwei's attitude now...

Qin Jiamo stared at her and suddenly asked, "If we weren't legally married yet, and Su Yunfan apologized to you again, even kneeling down to beg for reconciliation, would you remarry him out of pity?"

Lin Xiwei's expression turned serious, and she said without hesitation, "How could that be! It's only right that he thanked me. It was indeed my magnanimity that fulfilled his father's last wish."

"But that's a different matter from whether or not we remarry. He's not a good husband, nor a good father. How can I jump back into the fire just because he says thank you?"

Qin Jiamo nodded, her expression showing some relief: "Not bad, clear-headed and making accurate judgments."

"Of course, I've long since come to my senses. I won't fall for either the Su family or the Lin family again."

Seeing her serious expression, stubborn yet adorable, Qin Jiamo couldn't resist pinching her cheek.

The couple, who were not very familiar with each other before, became noticeably closer after this heart-to-heart talk.

"Alright, it's getting late, go wash up and go to bed." Qin Jiamo turned around and put down her phone.

Lin Xiwei asked again, "Are you sure you don't want to go back?"

"You really want me to go back that badly?" He turned around and glanced at me sideways.

"Not really..." Lin Xiwei suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to turn up and responded softly.

Actually, she really wanted him to stay with her, but she felt that he worked hard and the hospital bed was too small and cramped for him, so she was afraid he wouldn't sleep well.

Qin Jiamo heard her muttering, but still leaned closer and asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear you."

Lin Xiwei knew he was up to no good, glared at him and said, "I said I want you to go back. You're too annoying here."

"You're just saying one thing and meaning another." Qin Jiamo directly exposed her.

The phone that Qin Jiamo had just put down rang. He turned around, picked up the phone, and waved it towards the door. "I'm going out to answer the call."

After he left, Lin Xiwei checked the time and realized it was getting late, so she went to the bathroom to wash up.

The luxury ward is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities.

Lin Xiwei was secretly looking forward to something. Even though it was cold and there was no need to take two showers a day, she still took another shower despite the inconvenience.

I had just finished showering and was getting dressed when there was a sudden knock on the bathroom door.

She was startled and whispered, "What?"

"Aren't you finished washing yet?" Qin Jiamo asked in a low voice.

"I'm done washing." She quickly put on her clothes and went to open the door.

A wave of heat hit him, and the man waved his hand before walking into the bathroom.

"I'm all done, you can go wash now." Lin Xiwei waited for him to come in, then turned sideways to prepare to leave.

Unexpectedly, Qin Jiamo stretched out his arm, grabbed her waist, and pulled her back.

"What's the rush?"

He uttered three words with a smile, then pressed down behind his back with his other hand to close the bathroom door again.

Lin Xiwei suddenly felt flustered and nervous, swallowed unconsciously, and her eyes darted around. "What are you doing? Junjun is still sleeping outside."

She asked that question aloud, but she had already been thinking about it for a while.

Otherwise, there's no need to wash yourself so nicely.

Qin Jiamo held her, lowered his head, and gently sniffed her hair with his high, straight nose. "Are you... feeling alright?"

Lin Xiwei was puzzled and turned to look at him, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes somewhat bewildered.

"Uncomfortable? What do you mean?" She didn't quite understand.

A hint of unease flashed across Qin Jiamo's handsome face, and his voice was noticeably lowered, "It's just... I was a little rough this morning."

rough?

Lin Xiwei blushed, recalling their first time together as a couple that morning.

It wouldn't be considered brutal, but it was certainly quite crazy.

"It's okay, I'm not feeling unwell." Her voice was noticeably lower as she answered, but her cheeks grew hotter and hotter.

Suddenly, darkness fell as a shadow loomed over me.

"You... um." Lin Xiwei was about to ask him what he was doing when the man put one hand on the back of her neck and lowered his head to kiss her.

Lin Xiwei took a step back, her back quickly hitting the wall.

It was a bit chilly, and she shuddered, her eyes widening in surprise.

Qin Jiamo sensed this and smiled, then put his other hand around her waist and pulled her slightly, changing their positions.

He leaned against the wall, while the woman nestled in his arms.

"Since you're not feeling unwell, how about... another round? Is that alright?"

Lin Xiwei's heart pounded with anxiety. Looking closely at his deep eyes and high nose, she felt so embarrassed that she punched him in the chest.

Since we've already taken action, why are you still asking questions?

Does he think he'll just give up if she says no?

She didn't speak, but the way her fist fell made the man smile even more wickedly, and then the kiss deepened.

The bathroom was small, and as he lifted Lin Xiwei to sit on the sink, she asked worriedly, "Won't it be unstable?"

Besides, they are husband and wife, it's perfectly legitimate.

Why do we have to do it like a secret affair, sneaking around in a place like this?

Qin Jiamo was unbuttoning his shirt when he heard this, a wicked glint in his eyes. "Then, shall we go outside and to the bed?"

"No way!" Lin Xiwei refused without even thinking.

His smile deepened, he casually tossed aside his clothes, scooped her up in his arms, and continued his passionate kiss...

It was late at night.

In the ward, the child slept soundly, oblivious to everything, and all was peaceful.

But in the bathroom, just a wall away, the hot water dispenser swirls with heat waves, and in the steamy, bubbling space, the woman's eyes are alluring, while the man's gaze is brimming with hidden emotions.

That night, the newlyweds slept together as expected, leaving their sick toddler alone in the large bed.

Lin Xiwei felt guilty. "I'd better go keep Junjun company. He doesn't feel safe sleeping alone."

After saying that, he was about to get up.

But Qin Jiamo pulled her back by the waist.

"You go to sleep first, I'll go keep him company later."

"Are you sure?" Lin Xiwei was a little skeptical.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Qin Jiamo asked seriously.

Lin Xiwei thought about it and realized that this person always kept his word.

Moreover, in many cases, there is no direct instruction to do it.

She felt relieved and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Completely drained of energy in the bathroom, Lin Xiwei closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.

In her dazed state, she once again realized how true her best friend's words were.

Men really do benefit from nourishing themselves; after absorbing enough Yang energy, even their sleep improved.
