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

Thinking about all this, Lin Xiwei couldn't help but feel her heart race again.

"Miss Lin, why aren't you eating?" Meng Junhe gently reminded her when he saw her staring blankly.

Qin Jiamo also looked at Lin Xiwei.

He knew Lin Xiwei was a bit dazed and probably had all sorts of thoughts running through her mind, maybe even wanting to get up and run away—so he couldn't help but secretly blame his uninvited good brother.

"Oh, I'm eating. Your uncle's cooking is really good." Lin Xiwei snapped out of her reverie and gave a polite compliment.

But that's the truth.

She didn't know what ingredients the food was made of, but it melted in her mouth, and the wonderful taste opened her eyes to a whole new world.

Following Qin Jiamo, I can really broaden my horizons in all aspects.

Meng Junhe looked at his good brother and gave him a look that only men could understand.

It means—this girl is nice.

Qin Jiamo glared at him fiercely.

Meng Junhe chuckled, seemingly unconcerned, and continued chatting with Lin Xiwei.

"I only found out yesterday that Jia Mo was injured. I was going to visit him at the hospital, but he said he was busy. I didn't expect to run into him here today." Meng Junhe was very talkative.

Lin Xiwei suddenly remembered the phone call Qin Jiamo received in the car yesterday, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, he accompanied me out to handle some things yesterday."

"Oh, he was injured but still accompanied you all over the place?" Meng Junhe's smile was quite intriguing.

"..." Lin Xiwei was stunned when she heard this.

My heart, which was already racing with tension, skipped a beat.

What does that mean?

Could it really be as she thought—what did Qin Jiamo say to this Dr. Meng?

The room suddenly fell silent. Seeing Lin Xiwei's reaction, Qin Jiamo's face darkened. He kicked his friend hard in the air and urged Lin Xiwei, "Hurry up and eat. Aren't you in a rush to get to work?"

Meng Junhe came here specifically to cause trouble.

When Qin Jiamo kicked him a second time, he bluntly retorted, "Why do you keep kicking me? What can't I say?"

"Meng Junhe!" Qin Jiamo warned openly.

But Dr. Meng wasn't worried. He looked at Lin Xiwei and said with a smile, "Ms. Lin, don't rush, eat slowly, and we can chat slowly too."

Lin Xiwei gave a dry laugh, "No, you guys chat, I'm in a hurry."

She was so restless and really wanted to finish eating and leave quickly, so she stopped talking and started eating heartily.

She was full very quickly.

"Attorney Qin, Dr. Meng, um... I'll go pay the bill first, then I'll go to work. You two can enjoy your meal." Lin Xiwei waved her hand and said softly.

Meng Junhe frowned: "So fast? There are still so many dishes we haven't eaten yet."

Qin Jiamo asked her, "How are you getting to the company?"

"I'm fine with either a taxi or the subway." Lin Xiwei didn't dare to stay any longer and turned to walk towards the door as she spoke.

Qin Jiamo took out her phone: "I'll have the driver take you."

"No need, I can walk by myself. You go have dinner with Dr. Meng."

Before Lin Xiwei could finish speaking, she had already turned around, left, and closed the door.

But Qin Jiamo still called the driver and asked him to come and take Lin Xiwei to work.

After Lin Xiwei left the room, she went to Uncle Meng to pay the bill, but he refused.

"No need, this meal is on me," Uncle Meng said with a smile.

"How can that be!" Lin Xiwei immediately refused. "Today is my way of thanking Attorney Qin. I'm treating him to dinner. How can I let a boss like you spend the money?"

Uncle Meng put away the bill without showing it to her, and said with a smile, "Jia Mo is my junior, and you were brought by Jia Mo. It's only natural for me, as an elder, to treat you to a meal, isn't it?"

After saying that, Uncle Meng smiled mysteriously, "You are the first girl Jia Mo has brought to dinner."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiwei felt a chill run down her spine!

"No, no, Uncle Meng, you've misunderstood. I... I'm actually not young anymore, my child is three years old, I'm not some little girl anymore, and Attorney Qin and I are just ordinary friends." She quickly explained.

Uncle Meng chuckled, "I trust my own eyes and judgment."

Before Lin Xiwei could pay, the driver had already arrived.

"Ms. Lin, Attorney Qin instructed me to take you to work," the driver said respectfully.

Lin Xiwei held her phone, opened the payment code interface, glanced at Uncle Meng, then at the driver…

Uncle Meng reached out his hand: "Go ahead, don't delay your important business."

Lin Xiwei knew she couldn't explain herself.

She didn't understand what Qin Jiamo was trying to do.

He introduced her as a "friend" to others, yet he took such good care of her.

Does he treat every friend like this?

Lin Xiwei inwardly groaned, her face flushed red. After a moment of stalemate, she finally gave in, thanking Uncle Meng repeatedly before leaving with the driver.

Now that only two men were left in the side room, their conversation became much more open.

Qin Jiamo's face darkened, and she was somewhat angry: "What are you doing here? And what did you mean by those words?"

While enjoying his meal, Meng Junhe explained unhurriedly, "I came here to help! Instead of thanking me, you're coming to interrogate me?"

"Thank you, my ass!" The usually serious lawyer Qin cursed angrily.

"Look at you, getting all angry and embarrassed." Meng Junhe chuckled, leaning closer to say, "You two are already at this stage of ambiguity, why aren't you going to make it official? What are you planning to do?"

"Who's flirting with whom?"

"Of all your things, your mouth is the toughest," Meng Junhe said with a mischievous grin, raising an eyebrow. "A man's toughest thing shouldn't be his mouth, you know?"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Jiamo threw a punch. He quickly got up to dodge, knocking over the chair he was sitting on.

"Okay, okay, enough joking around, let's get serious." Meng Junhe quickly raised his hands in surrender, then added with concern, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so take it easy."

Qin Jiamo suppressed her temper, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat.

Meng Junhe sat down again and began to analyze: "That Miss Lin was blushing and nervous the whole time, and she wouldn't even look you in the eye. Don't you understand what that means? She definitely has feelings for you!"

"So what? She won't face me." Qin Jiamo said coldly, her tone somewhat frustrated.

He could sense Lin Xiwei's attitude towards him.

"It's normal that she's unwilling to face it, after all, she just got divorced, and your statuses are quite different, plus there's a child caught in the middle." Meng Junhe, as expected of an outsider with clear insight, hit the nail on the head in just a few words.

Qin Jiamo remained silent.

"She needs to consider, if she really gets together with you, what would the child's status be? Your nephew, your stepson, or... your biological son?"

Qin Jiamo: "She doesn't know any of this yet."

"But they'll find out sooner or later. Can you keep it a secret forever?"

Meng Junhe took a sip of tea and began to offer advice: "Adult love shouldn't be about beating around the bush. If you like someone, you should be straightforward. So what if she won't face it? As long as she's not physically rejecting you, you can be domineering and forceful, even persistent and relentless. You'll win her over sooner or later!"
