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

He was busy this morning and only now has some free time.

Whenever I had a spare moment, I would ask her about it, thinking that if she got the sample, I would help her send it for testing.

To his surprise, they never intended to ask him for help.

Qin Jiamo was displeased because she had offered her warm welcome but was met with indifference.

But through the phone, Lin Xiwei had no idea what he was thinking, let alone that he was angry.

Seeing that the other party did not reply, Lin Xiwei suddenly remembered something else.

This new phone was bought with Han's help yesterday.

Assistant Han refused to accept the money yesterday, and she forgot about it after getting busy. She only remembered now that she hadn't paid.

She looked up this phone online; it costs almost ten thousand yuan.

Even if Qin Jiamo is not short of money, she should take the initiative to pay back the money; it's a matter of principle.

So, Lin Xiwei put down her spoon and transferred 10,000 yuan to Qin Jiamo via WeChat.

Qin Jiamo, who was still sulking as soon as she got into the car, frowned when she heard the noise, looked at her phone.

What does that mean?

Why would I transfer 10,000 yuan to him for no reason?

Before he could ask, another message popped up on his WeChat screen.

[This is the money I paid for the phone yesterday. Thank you, I really like it.]

Qin Jiamo gave a slight smirk, and suddenly his anger dissipated.

[Attorney Qin, you must accept this money. I know you're not short of cash, but let's keep things separate.]

Qin Jiamo still didn't reply, but casually clicked "accept".

He has no grudge against money.

On the other side, Lin Xiwei saw that he had accepted the money, and a smile appeared on her disfigured face.

At the courthouse entrance, the Maybach started up. Han Rui glanced at the rearview mirror. "Boss, should we go back to the law firm or to the hospital?"

Without hesitation, Qin Jiamo replied, "The hospital."

"OK."

As the luxury car drove off, Han Rui glanced at the rearview mirror again.

"Boss, you've been incredibly attentive to Miss Lin."

"Too talkative."

Seeing that his boss wasn't angry, Han Rui smiled and continued, "But Miss Lin is a very nice person; she has raised the young master very well."

"I said you talk too much, not as encouragement." Qin Jiamo was a little embarrassed and annoyed that her subordinate had seen through her thoughts.

"Understood." Han Rui immediately pursed his lips.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Feng Zheqian walked into the ward carrying a large fruit basket and was shocked the moment he saw Lin Xiwei.

"How did you get hurt like this? What happened? Was it domestic violence by your husband again?"

Feng Zheqian asked three questions in a row, unable to believe it.

Lin Xiwei was very embarrassed.

She knew her face looked a bit scary, but there was nothing she could do; it would take at least a week for the bruises and swelling to completely disappear.

"It wasn't him this time..."

Feng Zheqian: "How did that happen? Did you call the police?"

Lin Xiwei really didn't want to talk about her family scandal, so she forced a smile and said, "We called the police, and they've taken care of it."

Feng Zheqian could tell that she was unwilling to say more, so he didn't press her further.

He couldn't help but sigh as he thought about how such a beautiful and talented woman had such an unhappy marriage and such a bad fate.

But he didn't dare to show too much concern, for fear of putting pressure on Lin Xiwei.

After a brief silence, Lin Xiwei noticed that the other person was also a little reserved, so she took the initiative to find a topic to talk about.

"Senior Brother Feng, I'm still in my internship period, and it's really inappropriate for me to take such a long leave. I can understand if the HR department has any objections."

Lin Xiwei meant that she had no objection if HR wanted to dismiss her.

"Don't worry," Feng Zheqian waved his hand, pulled out a chair and sat down, "It's alright, you just focus on recovering. I'll talk to HR."

This is what Lin Xiwei is afraid of.

She didn't want to owe Feng Zheqian a favor.

"Brother Feng, you don't need to worry about me. Actually, I can get a sum of money after the divorce, which will cover the child's medical expenses. Even if I lose this job, it won't have a big impact."

Feng Zheqian also said sincerely, "I know that with your abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for you to find another job. The main thing is that I value your talent. I know your professional skills very well, and you are also responsible. It's rare for our department to recruit someone like you."

"Senior Brother Feng, you flatter me too much." Lin Xiwei was embarrassed by the compliment.

She is confident in her abilities, but the problem is that society is not lacking in talent.

No department can function without someone else.

Feng Zheqian's statement was still a guarantee based on his personal reputation.

"Don't worry, taking a few days off is no problem. Both the company and the department are quite humane in this regard. Just relax and take care of your health."

After Feng Zheqian repeatedly assured her, Lin Xiwei couldn't say anything more.

The corridor outside the ward.

Qin Jiamo walked over with a file in her hand, looking for the ward number.

Finally finding Lin Xiwei's ward, he raised his hand to knock on the door, but his gaze sharpened as he saw a strange man in the ward through the glass window.

He looks somewhat familiar...

After a two-second pause, he recognized the man as the Volvo owner—the man who had driven Lin Xiwei to the hospital a few nights ago.

Qin Jiamo's expression suddenly turned cold.

Ha, last time they dropped me off at the hospital entrance late at night, this time they've come to the hospital openly.

They're not even divorced yet, and they're already this impatient?

Qin Jiamo felt a nameless anger rising within him.

This anger was directed at both Lin Xiwei and himself.

No wonder she always distances herself from him; even when he suggested that they have a child to save Junjun this morning, she hesitated.

—So it turns out it was because there was someone in his heart.

Attorney Qin was secretly annoyed.

Could it be that he, the eldest son of the Qin family, is inferior to this balding man with a receding hairline?

You're blind!

She has terrible taste in men; no wonder she ran into a top-tier scumbag like Su Yunfan.

Let's talk about Feng Zheqian.

It is well known that programmers face high work pressure and working overtime is the norm. Moreover, Feng Zheqian became the head of the department at a young age, which shows how much effort he has put in.

So, although he is not married yet, he does show signs of balding, and his hairline is receding.

But he's a good person.

Lin Xiwei chatted with him for a while, and when he talked about how her colleagues cared about her and how everyone hoped she would recover soon and go back, it warmed her heart.

The hurt inflicted by one's spouse and closest family members is found to be fully healed by outsiders.

Lin Xiwei deeply understands the saying: When God closes a door for you, He will surely open a window for you.

Now, God has opened not just one window for her, but many.

Aside from her best friend, the care and support she received from the entire Qin family was like a second life.

There's also Feng Zheqian, and the colleagues I just met.

"Senior Brother Feng, thank you, and please thank everyone for me. I'll treat you all to a meal when I recover and go back to work," Lin Xiwei said with a smile.

"Okay! Speaking of which, you've been so busy since you joined the company that the department hasn't even had a welcome dinner. I'll treat you when you come back to work, so we can all have a good time."

The two chatted and laughed.

Suddenly, the ward door was pushed open, and the two people's laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Lin Xiwei was taken aback when she saw Qin Jiamo suddenly appear.

Why is he here?

Qin Jiamo's expression was unusually serious, and he was carrying a file folder in his hand, exuding a cold aura.

The way he acted was as if a husband had caught his wife cheating.

Feng Zheqian froze. Seeing the other party's hostile and aggressive demeanor, he subconsciously stood up and secretly became defensive.

"And who is this?" Feng Zheqian asked, glancing at Lin Xiwei.

Lin Xiwei felt inexplicably uneasy under Qin Jiamo's stern and cold expression, and after a pause, she remembered to reply: "He is my—"

"The trial doesn't start until tomorrow, there's no need to rush things today." Qin Jiamo spoke first before Lin Xiwei could introduce herself, her gaze filled with intense pressure as she stared at Feng Zheqian.

Lin Xiwei was taken aback and frowned.

What does that mean?

Feng Zheqian was also confused and subconsciously asked, "What lawsuit?"

Lin Xiwei seemed to understand something, and quickly looked at Feng Zheqian, introducing him to Qin Jiamo: "This is our department leader, and also my alumnus and senior. He knew I was hospitalized, so he came to visit me on behalf of the department."

Thinking that he was a guest and shouldn't meddle, Feng Zheqian still extended his hand: "Hello, my name is Feng Zheqian, I'm Lin Xiwei's boss, and you are—"

boss?

Why is a male boss so caring and considerate towards his female subordinate?

Qin Jiamo glanced at him with a cold and arrogant expression, but did not reach out.

The atmosphere in the three-person room was extremely awkward.

But Feng Zheqian wasn't a coward. Seeing that he treated the other party with courtesy, and that the other party was so cold and arrogant, and that Lin Xiwei seemed to be "afraid" of this person—he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"You wouldn't happen to be that domestic abuser, would you? Are you bullying Lin Xiwei again?" he immediately spoke up, his tone accusatory, as if he wanted to protect Lin Xiwei.

Qin Jiamo's brows furrowed, and he looked at the other person with murderous intent.

Lin Xiwei was so shocked she almost jumped out of bed. She quickly clarified, "Senior Brother Feng, you've misunderstood. He's my lawyer and has helped me a lot."

"A lawyer?" Feng Zheqian asked in surprise.

Seeing Qin Jiamo's expression, Lin Xiwei was afraid that he would send a lawyer's letter to accuse someone of defamation at any moment—so she quickly said, "Senior Brother Feng, thank you for visiting me. I'll try to go back to work next week. Um... I have something to do right now."

Feng Zheqian had mistaken the person for someone else and looked embarrassed. Seeing Lin Xiwei's words, he nodded and said, "Okay, then you should take good care of yourself. I'll be going now."

He turned to leave, but paused briefly as he passed Qin Jiamo.

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

Qin Jiamo remained aloof and indifferent, ignoring him completely.

Feng Zheqian left in a huff.

Once only the two of them were left in the ward, Lin Xiwei looked up at Qin Jiamo and asked politely, "Attorney Qin, what brings you here?"

Qin Jiamo took two steps forward and stood at the foot of the hospital bed. "I warned you before, you'd better be careful before you get divorced."

Lin Xiwei's eyes widened in confusion: "What do you mean? You don't actually think there's something between me and Senior Brother Feng, do you?"

Qin Jiamo: "Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart."

Lin Xiwei was angry. She turned her head away to calm down before turning back to explain to him, "I already said when I introduced him that he is my boss and also happens to be an alumnus. Our relationship is not what you think."

Qin Jiamo stared at her, still seemingly doubtful.

Lin Xiwei was both angry and anxious.

"What do you take me for? How could I be looking for someone else before I'm even divorced? It's not like I can't live without a man. Besides, how many of you men are any good? Wasn't I badly hurt by Su Yunfan enough? Do you have to go looking for the next one so quickly?"
