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

Attorney Qin did not respond, but stared intently at Lin Xiwei.

Lin Xiwei stared at him blankly, her heart pounding.

Is this a unique way of expressing his feelings? Does it mean he will cherish her for the rest of his life?

Chu Qing first covered her mouth and started whimpering, looking like she'd been "suddenly hurt," then suddenly lowered her hand and asked curiously, "Attorney Qin, if you weren't crying from sadness, how else could you be crying?"

After asking this question, Qin Jiamo's expression changed subtly. He suddenly looked away and silently said, "Ask her."

Chu Qing frowned and looked at her best friend, asking, "What do you mean?"

Lin Xiwei suddenly blinked and came back to her senses, remembering that night in the hospital bathroom with him, when she cried because she was too nervous and excited.

Qin Jiamo thought he had hurt her by being too rough, and apologized repeatedly afterward.

Actually, no, it's just that the feeling of reaching the peak was too unfamiliar for her to adapt to for a while.

Qin Jiamo, being a mature man, suddenly realized what was happening and whispered something in her ear, making her so embarrassed she almost jumped up.

At this moment, the man said "Ask her"—which seemed like a pointless statement, but in reality, it was incredibly powerful.

The memory of that night instantly exploded in Lin Xiwei's mind, her cheeks burning as if they were cooked shrimp on a dinner table.

Chu Qing stared at her best friend, noticing that she remained silent, but her face flushed red at a visible speed, spreading all the way to her ears and neck.

She suddenly understood.

"Oh my god! I think I understand something." Chu Qing blushed, suppressing a smile as she pounded the table with one hand.

Lin Xiwei wished she could disappear into the gap between the tables. "Qingqing... don't flip the table over."

Chu Qing stopped laughing, sat up, and said, "Can you blame me? We were having a nice chat, and then you suddenly got on the highway. There's a kindergarten kid here too."

Qin Jiamo remained as steady as a mountain, "Isn't this the topic you started?"

Meng Junhe raised his glass: "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I brought up the topic. I'll punish myself with a drink."

He laughed as he tilted his head back and finished the drink in his glass.

This was the most relaxed and pleasant night Lin Xiwei had experienced in months.

She felt so content that she forgot all her troubles and sorrows, as if she had embarked on a smooth and successful life.

However, life's joys and sorrows always come in turn.

Because moments of happiness are few and far between, and worries and pains outweigh the rest, happiness becomes all the more precious when it does arrive.

After dinner, Han Rui came to pick me up.

Meng Junhe had drunk too much; he was even a little unsteady on his feet when he stood up.

He grabbed Lin Xiwei and rambled on, "Weiwei... I'm truly grateful to you for managing to tame this devil. He's got nothing but bad habits, except for being rich. Please be understanding."

When Qin Jiamo returned from the bathroom and heard this, she unceremoniously pulled her friend away.

"You call Weiwei that? Call her Mrs. Qin, or Young Mistress Qin."

Lin Xiwei: "..."

Chu Qing laughed heartily from the side.

Qin Jiamo raised an eyebrow and said, "Besides, who asked you to thank her for me? Our relationship is a two-way street, you understand?"

Qin Jiamo still remembered what Lin Xiwei told her parents: they were going to each other.

Lin Xiwei felt embarrassed and took his arm. "Let's go, Assistant Han has already taken Junjun to the car."

Chu Qing also said, "Weiwei, you guys go first. I'll wait for the designated driver to come and take Dr. Meng home."

Lin Xiwei: "Okay, let me know when you deliver it."

Meng Junhe, however, was still trying to be tough, saying, "No need, Dr. Chu, you can go back. I can walk by myself."

He said he could walk, but then swayed slightly, and Chu Qing quickly grabbed him.

Lin Xiwei was worried about the children in the car. Thinking that this was Uncle Meng's territory, even if Chu Qing couldn't handle it, there was still Uncle Meng. So she had no choice but to leave with Qin Jiamo first.

On the way back, Junjun fell asleep.

Qin Jiamo closed his eyes to rest, estimating that the effects of the alcohol would kick in later, and he was already slightly tipsy.

When they arrived home, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Lan opened the door to greet them.

Lin Xiwei asked in surprise, "Aunt Lan, when did you get back? Didn't Lawyer Qin give you a holiday?"

Aunt Lan explained, "Lawyer Qin called us this afternoon and told us to come back tonight."

Aunt Zhou took the sleeping Junjun from Lin Xiwei's arms. "Madam, leave the child with us. You can take care of Mr. Qin."

Mrs……

Lin Xiwei was taken aback by this form of address.

Qin Jiamo even told them this?

Without thinking too much, she and Han Rui helped the person out of the car and into the house.

"Madam, the boss is quite quiet now that he's had too much to drink. You should be able to take care of him by yourself, so I'll be leaving now," Han Rui said in a low voice after helping her into the room.

Lin Xiwei wasn't used to this form of address yet, so she nodded politely and reminded him to drive carefully on the road.

After Han Rui left, only the two of them remained in the room. Lin Xiwei turned to look at the man on the sofa. He was tall and had long legs; she really didn't know how to serve him.

She had taken care of Su Yunfan when he was drunk a few times before, and she found the experience utterly repulsive.

Su Yunfan was very unruly after drinking too much. He kept asking for water, cursing, and then getting up to vomit.

It was more tiring for her than taking care of the baby at night.

So later, whenever Su Yunfan drank too much at social events, she would simply have her secretary book a hotel room for him so he wouldn't have to go home.

At that time, her thinking was simple: since Su Yunfan couldn't do anything outrageous anyway, it didn't matter where he spent the night.

If I don't come back, I won't bother her as much, and I won't get angry or upset with her as much.

But now, looking at the drunk Qin Jiamo, she has a completely different state of mind.

I feel sorry for him, I worry about him, and I can't help but think about how to take good care of him.

It turns out that the difference between loving and not loving is so great.

Lin Xiwei suddenly felt that she was also quite a jerk.

However, because Qin, the lawyer, was not troublesome when drunk, he slept quietly, only occasionally frowning and turning his head, and then remaining still.

This shows that even among men, vastly different character and moral cultivation determine how their wives treat them.

Lin Xiwei stood by the sofa, staring openly and frankly at her husband for a while, her mind racing with various thoughts. Finally, she snapped out of her daze when Qin Jiamo frowned and turned his head away again.

She stepped forward and nudged the man. "Qin Jiamo?"

no response.

"Qin Jiamo...why don't you want to take off your clothes and go to bed?"

She knew this person had a slight obsession with cleanliness; when he came back from outside, he would always change into clean home clothes before sitting on the sofa or bed.

But today's situation is special, so we can't worry about that now.

With his large physique, he's not like a three-year-old like Junjun who can be carried by an adult to take a bath.

Let's just make do and go to sleep.

But he didn't respond when I called him several times.

Lin Xiwei frowned, looking troubled.

After a moment of silence, she could only hesitantly raise her hand and try to help him take off his clothes.

The coat is easy enough; just pull down the sleeves, slightly tilt the person over, and then pull the other sleeve.

Lin Xiwei was so focused on undressing him that she didn't notice the man she had turned around. His eyes, which had been closed, opened slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Once she let go, the man naturally leaned back on the sofa, his face returning to its drunken, sleeping state.

Lin Xiwei took off his coat and then reached for his shirt.

Unbutton your shirt.

It was tiring to keep lying on her side. Lin Xiwei glanced at him, and since he was sleeping so soundly, she simply lifted her leg and straddled his waist, making it much faster to unbutton his clothes.

Qin Jiamo pretended to be asleep, so he was fully aware of all her actions.

The moment she stepped on him, certain images involuntarily flashed through his mind.

The large hand that landed on the sofa trembled almost instinctively, and he nearly impulsively raised it to grab her waist and press her down.

His shirt was unbuttoned, revealing the man's strong and sexy physique.

Under the light, the well-defined muscles gleamed with a lustrous sheen, instantly reminding Lin Xiwei of those borderline content creators on short video platforms.

With Attorney Qin's physique and looks, if he were to quit being a lawyer and become a social media influencer, he would definitely become an overnight sensation and a top influencer.

After staring at it for a while, Lin Xiwei unconsciously swallowed and subconsciously raised her hand to touch the corner of her mouth.

Thankfully, I didn't drool.

But his completely unguarded and unprepared appearance was just too tempting.

Especially her face, with its clearly defined jawline outlined by the overhead light, a faint halo around her brow bone, and soft shadows in her eye sockets, making her eyes appear even more profound.

With a high, straight nose, light and shadow condense on the tip of the nose, creating a bright spot, while the other side casts a shadow like a mountain range, making it even more captivating.

And his slightly pursed thin lips, the edges of which were clearly outlined by the light, made his lip color look like a woman wearing lip gloss, perhaps because he had been drinking.

Lin Xiwei experienced the charm of the phrase "a feast for the eyes" for the first time.

Her gaze lingered on his lips, and the urge to taste them began to take hold of her mind.

Without realizing it, she swallowed, straightened up, lowered her head, and brought her cheek closer to him.

Anyway, he's drunk, so he probably doesn't know anything.

Finally, she can take the initiative and enjoy the male beauty.

Lin Xiwei controlled her breathing, even pressing her hair down with her hands, and slowly approached.

Until, red lips pressed against the corner of the man's mouth.

At first, I just touched it lightly to feel its softness.

Her heart was pounding, and her ears were ringing. She felt like a female hooligan, secretly blaspheming the gods.

However, Qin Jiamo's lack of reaction emboldened her to become even more reckless.

No longer content with light touches, she gradually increased the pressure, feeling his breath more deeply.

The first time, she didn't find the smell of alcohol so offensive; in fact, it even had a seductive quality.

Just as she was immersed in the thrill of the theft and forgot everything around her, the handsome face in front of her suddenly opened its eyes, scaring her so much that her soul almost left her body!

"Ah—" Her body instinctively arched back, but because she was suspended in mid-air, she was about to fall.

But the man tightened his arms, pulled her back from behind, and yanked her back.

His long hair drew a mesmerizing arc in the air, and the lights flickered and danced between the man's eyebrows and eyes.

Lin Xiwei felt dizzy and disoriented. When she calmed down again, she found herself pinned to the sofa by Qin Jiamo, his face hovering above her head, his gaze fixed intently on her.

"You, you're not asleep!" The woman's eyes widened as she stammered out the words.

Then he remembered what he had secretly done earlier, which he actually knew, and he was even more ashamed to face anyone.
