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

Lin Xiwei couldn't help but laugh, "Dr. Meng, being single is the life that everyone longs for."

Meng Junhe straightened his clothes and happily chimed in, "Hehe, I think so too."

Chu Qing stared at Meng Junhe for a moment, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar. Then, hearing Lin Xiwei address him as "Dr. Meng," she suddenly remembered and pointed, asking, "Are you the 'Goddess of Fertility,' the director of the Reproductive Medicine Department at the Municipal Central Hospital?"

Lin Xiwei was surprised: "You two know each other?"

Although Meng Junhe and Chu Qing are both in the medical field, Meng Junhe works at the Central Hospital, while Chu Qing works at the Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

The circle is too big, and you may not know anyone there, so Lin Xiwei was surprised.

Meng Junhe stared at Chu Qing for a moment, assuming she was one of his former patients, and asked, "Did I successfully give you a child too?"

No, no.

Chu Qing waved her hands repeatedly, but before she could speak, Lin Xiwei explained first: "Dr. Meng, this is my best friend, Chu Qing. She is an obstetrician and gynecologist at the Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital."

Chu Qing continued, "I've attended your lecture before, and I remember you. You looked familiar just now. I didn't expect you and Lawyer Qin to be good friends."

"Oh, I see." Meng Junhe understood. "I did give two lectures at your provincial maternal and child health hospital this year."

"Yes, we do have similar expertise."

After all, one studies how to conceive, and the other studies how to give birth; they are indeed "of the same lineage."

Qin Jiamo happened to walk into the courtyard and saw them chatting animatedly in the yard. From a distance, she asked, "What are you talking about? Aren't you cold outside?"

Lin Xiwei turned around and saw the tall, elegant man walking towards her. She smiled slightly.

He was wearing the suit I had bought for him, even the shirt underneath.

When going out, she would wear a long trench coat, which would flutter as she walked, exuding elegance and charm with every gesture.

Thinking that he wore that suit twice a week, Lin Xiwei was secretly delighted.

You must really like it.

If that's the case, then she can go pick out another one for him sometime. Anyway, Attorney Qin has been generous with household expenses, so she's just doing her part and running errands.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiwei looked at the man walking quickly towards her, her eyes unconsciously smiling, "You've come."

"Dad!" Junjun exclaimed happily when he saw Qin Jiamo.

Qin Jiamo walked over, picked up Junjun in her arms, and asked gently, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." The child shook his head, like a rattle-drum.

"If you feel unwell, tell us right away, and Mom and Dad will take you back to the hospital, okay?" Qin Jiamo gently instructed.

"Um!"

Hearing the child call him "Dad" repeatedly, Meng Junhe's face was full of hidden thoughts, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand to hide his laughter.

He was clearly his own son, but he couldn't acknowledge him. However, after going through a long and complicated process, he still became the father of his own son.

It has to be said, fate is truly wondrous.

This was the first time Chu Qing had seen Qin Jiamo so gentle and doting. Her best friend, looking at Qin Lu with such adoring and shy eyes, couldn't help but cough strategically and exchange a glance with Meng Junhe.

They're all smart people; Director Meng understood immediately.

"Tsk, look at our lawyer Qin, getting married really changes him, he speaks so gently now." Meng Junhe teased.

"Indeed, when I used to meet Qin Lu, he always seemed aloof and untouchable. Now, he exudes a strong sense of being a married man." Chu Qing seamlessly transitioned.

"Qingqing!" Lin Xiwei raised her hand and slapped her. "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Qin Jiamo shifted his gaze from his son's face to the two people who had been teasing him, and immediately reverted to his sharp tongue.

"I invited you to dinner to hear my blessings and good wishes, not to hear you make fun of me."

Chu Qing clapped her hands. "Yes, yes! This is the real Qin Lu. I'm much more familiar with him now."

Lin Xiwei covered her mouth and laughed.

Meng Junhe nodded repeatedly, "I feel more at ease with Qin Lu like this. That smile just now always felt like a wolf in sheep's clothing, ready to show its fangs at any moment."

Qin Jiamo frowned, her face cold. "Do you want to go into the pond and feed the fish?"

"No, no, I don't want to in this freezing weather."

The group stood in the courtyard chatting and laughing when Uncle Meng came out to greet them: "Isn't it cold outside? Come sit in the side room, you can sit around the stove and make tea and chat for a while. The kitchen is still busy."

Chu Qing looked at Lin Xiwei, curiously asking, "You know the boss too?"

Lin Xiwei explained, "The boss is Director Meng's uncle."

"Oh." Chu Qing suddenly realized.

Meng Junhe then added, "The real boss of this place is right next to you. My uncle also works for someone else."

"Huh?" Lin Xiwei was taken aback, looking around. "What do you mean?"

Qin Jiamo, carrying Junjun, turned and walked towards the corridor.

Lin Xiwei belatedly realized what was happening, and her face showed surprise.

"You mean, the owner here is Qin Jiamo?"

Meng Junhe nodded.

"This..." Lin Xiwei suddenly realized why Uncle Meng had refused to accept money every time she came to eat.

He would only accept it if Qin Jiamo nodded in agreement.

It turns out he was the real boss behind the scenes.

Lin Xiwei turned around and saw that the man had already walked far away, so she quickly chased after him.

"You...you're the boss here, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Qin Jiamo glanced at her indifferently. "What difference does it make whether I tell you or not? Does telling you mean you can dine and dash?"

"That's not what I meant, I..."

Lin Xiwei wanted to explain, but felt she couldn't explain it.

Indeed, does knowing that Qin Jiamo is the mastermind mean she doesn't have to pay for the meal?

But the thought of treating the owner to a meal at someone else's restaurant... well, that feels a bit odd.

Meng Junhe followed from behind, subtly provoking, "Mrs. Qin, your husband has many businesses. Find some time to question him properly, and don't let him hide money from you or do bad things."

Lin Xiwei stood there, stunned.

Would Qin Jiamo hide money from the public and do bad things?

If he knew how, with his abilities and skill, he could have done it flawlessly, leaving no trace whatsoever.

She was no match for him at all.

Chu Qing walked up and stopped beside her: "Weiwei, what kind of man did you marry? His wealth is unfathomable."

Lin Xiwei looked at her best friend; she didn't understand either.

The room was warm, with a small golden pot on a blue charcoal fire, the water boiling and steaming.

The stove was protected against burns, and sweet potatoes, red dates, peanuts, and tangerines were laid out around it, all roasting warmly and filling the air with their aroma.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling window, there is a small garden behind it, where wintersweet is blooming proudly in the cold, each blossom delicate and beautiful.

Chu Qing sighed, "Rich people really know how to enjoy life. They find the right best friends and live a luxurious life."

Although Lin Xiwei and Qin Jiamo had come a few times, it was always just the two of them. They would come to eat, and then leave, without having time to stop and admire the scenery.

But I feel different today.

Today, I'm celebrating something beautiful with my close friends, my crush, and my dearest child.

My heart, which had been tense for months, suddenly felt like it had found a warm nest and completely relaxed.

"Wait until you find a rich man and enjoy a luxurious life every day." Lin Xiwei continued her words casually, "How about Dr. Meng? You're in the same profession, you'll have common topics."

"Don't talk nonsense, or someone will hear you." Chu Qing quickly stopped her and whispered, "They're both doctors, so busy they're never home, how can they manage to live a normal life?"

That's true. If the two of them take turns on duty, it's probably difficult to even see each other.

After drinking hot tea and eating tangerines, Uncle Meng went in and out, and soon all the dishes were served. Everyone then returned to the table and sat down.

"Today is to celebrate the marriage of Jia Mo and Xi Wei, so I'm shamelessly asking for a drink first." After the waiter left, Uncle Meng poured himself a glass.

"Come on, Jia Mo, Xi Wei, congratulations on your marriage." Uncle Meng raised his wine glass.

Lin Xiwei was initially quite relaxed, but upon seeing this scene, she immediately became tense and her face became very restrained.

Qin Jiamo also filled his own cup and told Lin Xiwei, "Don't drink alcohol, tea is fine."

After all, with a child in tow, it's not good for both of them to drink. If they get tipsy and don't take good care of the child, something could happen and cause trouble.

Lin Xiwei understood his considerations, but hearing these words still warmed her heart.

Every move he makes to defend himself only makes his image in his own mind appear even larger.

"Thank you, Uncle."

"Thank you, Uncle Meng."

Qin Jiamo and Lin Xiwei both stood up to express their gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Junjun also raised his cup high, imitating his parents, and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, Uncle!"

Everyone laughed.

Uncle Meng looked at the cute and clever Junjun and immediately pulled out a large red envelope: "Baby, you can't call me Uncle Meng, otherwise you'll be a different generation from your dad. Call me Grandpa Meng instead. Grandpa is giving you this red envelope to wish you a speedy recovery!"

Junjun looked at his parents, somewhat bewildered.

Lin Xiwei immediately reminded him, "Sweetie, you should call him Grandpa Meng."

"Oh," the little guy replied, then immediately changed his address, "Hello Grandpa Meng, thank you for the big red envelope, Grandpa Meng! I wish you a long and healthy life!"

Junjun has been spending a lot of time with the Qin family elders these days and has learned a lot of new knowledge. He knows that to bless his grandparents' generation, one should say that they should live to be a hundred years old.

Uncle Meng laughed heartily, "Haha, okay! Thank you, darling, Grandpa will definitely try his best to live to be a hundred!"

Everyone was amused by the child's words, and Meng Junhe became even more envious of his friend.

Who would have thought that his momentary lapse of judgment would lead to his good friend becoming a father and unexpectedly gaining a smart and adorable son?

After finishing his drink, Uncle Meng went out to continue his work.

The remaining four people, along with their children, began to eat.

Chu Qing poured herself a glass of wine and solemnly raised it: "Law Qin, first of all, congratulations to you and Weiwei. Although you had a whirlwind marriage, I believe you will grow old together."

"Thank you, Dr. Chu." Qin Jiamo smiled faintly, finding the words agreeable.

Meng Junhe teased Junjun.

"Son, your mom's going to be giving birth to your little brother or sister soon, you know?"

Junjun nodded, very composed, "I know, Grandma told me, and even urged them to work harder and hurry up."

"Junjun!" Lin Xiwei was talking to Chu Qing when she heard this and hurriedly turned around to stop her.

Meng Junhe smiled as he looked at the newlyweds.

"Um... Jia Mo had a check-up with me a while ago, and he's definitely fine. You guys try it first, and if there's no progress after three months, come back to me together. I'll definitely provide you with top-notch service."

After all, this is Dr. Meng's forte.

Lin Xiwei blushed deeply, barely able to lift her head.

Although Chu Qing was an obstetrician and gynecologist, she felt a little embarrassed when she heard Meng Junhe's words and thought about matters between men and women.

Qin Jiamo kicked her friend hard in the air on the table. "Shut up! Don't curse me."

Meng Junhe looked at the wine glass in front of him and suddenly reminded him, "You drank today, so try to moderate your drinking for the next few days, otherwise it will have an impact."

Lin Xiwei couldn't listen anymore. "The child is here, let's change the subject."

"Okay, let's change the subject. How about we talk about how you felt when you first met each other? You certainly didn't expect to become husband and wife so quickly, did you?"

The first time I met the other person...

Lin Xiwei glanced at the man beside her. She wanted to be stubborn and say that she didn't feel anything, but she felt that she shouldn't offend him like that, so she flattered him and said, "When I first met Lawyer Qin, I thought he was very handsome and young. At that time, it was Uncle Qingqing who helped introduce him, so I thought he was the same generation as Uncle Qingqing... Who knew that I would find out he was so young and promising when I went to the law firm."

"Oh oh~~" Before Lin Xiwei could finish speaking, Chu Qing and Meng Junhe started making a fuss.

"Weiwei, did you fall in love with Attorney Qin at first sight?" Chu Qing immediately asked, gossiping.

Qin Jiamo didn't speak, but his deep, dark eyes silently watched her. His ears were a little flushed, whether from shyness and nervousness or from drinking, it was hard to tell.

"Of course not!" Lin Xiwei retorted quickly, "I wasn't divorced yet back then, how could I fall in love with every girl I met?"

A barely perceptible look of disappointment crossed Qin Jiamo's face.

Meng Junhe added fuel to the fire: "Attorney Qin, it's your turn. Tell us your first impression of your sister-in-law."

Qin Jiamo blurted out, "I don't remember."

Lin Xiwei: "..."

Attorney Qin successfully brought the topic to a close.

Lin Xiwei pursed her lips, holding back her anger, but couldn't hold back any longer and retorted, "I have no recollection of you having a whirlwind marriage with me."

Qin Jiamo: "I don't remember the first time, and I didn't say I didn't remember the later ones either."

"Oh? What's the impression after that?" Meng Junhe immediately offered him a way out.

"You cried very ugly."

Unexpectedly, Qin Jiamo's opening remarks killed the conversation once again.

Lin Xiwei's face froze as she stared at him, quickly recalling that he was referring to their chance encounter on the hospital rooftop.

At that time, she was overwhelmed by a combination of marital crisis, family issues, and Junjun's serious illness, and broke down in tears on the terrace.

Just then, Qin Jiamo walked out of the other safety door, and the two bumped into each other.

The atmosphere at the table was quiet. Chu Qingqian chuckled twice and teased, "No one is perfect, really. A rich, handsome, and generous man is bound to have low emotional intelligence—Weiwei, don't mind him, it's just an occupational hazard."

Lin Xiwei didn't care, but raised an eyebrow and turned to look at him, threateningly saying, "Do you believe I'll cry right now? So ugly you'll have nightmares tonight."

"I don't believe it." Attorney Qin suppressed a smile, his face arrogant, and said slowly, "As my wife, Qin Jiamo's wife, it's impossible for her to cry. Even if she did cry, it certainly wouldn't be from sadness..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and speechless.

Meng Junhe was stunned for two seconds, put down his chopsticks, rubbed his eyes, and stared wide-eyed at his friend: "Am I mistaken? Is this the Qin Jiamo I know?"
