Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

The main gate of Haicheng Prison.

A magnificent and luxurious Hongqi state gift vehicle had been waiting for some time.

Upon seeing the three of them emerge, the driver quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Lu Jingshi.

Lu Jingshi got into the car gracefully, and the driver turned around to greet the other two.

"Miss Jiang, Secretary Wu, please get in the car."

Driver Lao Yang had been with Lu Jingshi for eight years and was no stranger to Jiang Wan.

"No need, I can just take a taxi myself."

Jiang Wan declined.

"Miss Jiang, please don't refuse. It's so hot, even taxi drivers are hiding away to rest. Anyway, you're going to herd one sheep or a group of people, so it doesn't matter."

Lu Jingshi tilted his head, looking at the three people politely deferring to each other outside the car, and almost laughed out of anger.

"Old Yang, whose driver are you anyway? Did I say I was going to give someone else a ride? And you're still extending this invitation?"

Old Yang scratched his head.

The boss didn't say anything, but what boss would just squeeze into the inner seat as soon as they get on the bus?

Who is the spot outside reserved for?

That's so hard to guess.

Having worked for the boss for so many years, he had seen all sorts of people.

Even the boss himself probably didn't realize how many of his drunken secrets he knew.

But he couldn't say that unless he wanted to quit.

He could only say, "Boss, look how hot it is today, it's hard to get a taxi, and besides, this place is quite remote..."

"Alright," Lu Jingshi said impatiently, leaning back in the back seat. "I'll give you face and take it with me."

"Then I'll sit in the front."

Jiang Wan went to open the passenger door.

But she was too late. Xiao Wu quickly rushed up and shoved her aside with his buttocks.

"Jiang Lu, let me sit in the front. I...I...I have cold uterus and want to enjoy the air conditioning."

Jiang Wan smiled bitterly.

Is this human language?

Seeing that Xiao Wu had gotten into the passenger seat, she had no choice but to step back, open the door, and sit next to Lu Jingshi.

Old Yang rubbed his hands together, lit the ignition, and started the engine.

Then a sharp turn and brakes.

Jiang Wan, who hadn't even settled into her seat, was suddenly lifted off the ground and landed straight in Lu Jingshi's arms.

Before Lu Jingshi could react, he grabbed her tightly and threw half of his body over her, covering her completely.

The rebound caused Jiang Wan's head to slam heavily against Lu Jingshi's chin.

The next second, a pair of large hands gently stroked Jiang Wan's head, as if...

She dared not move, and could only hear Lu Jingshi's chaotic and panicked heartbeat.

Three seconds later, the two were suddenly thrown apart.

Lu Jingshi straightened his wrinkled collar and kicked the driver's seat in the front.

"How do you drive?"

Old Yang rolled down the car window and yelled out, "What happened to you? Do you even know how to drive? Look what you've done to our boss!"

Outside the car, a cyclist slowly rode by with an innocent expression...

The car started again.

Jiang Wan tried to create some distance between herself and Lu Jingshi, shrinking to the side of the car door and taking out her phone.

When I returned to China to look for an apartment, I contacted quite a few real estate agents.

She was too lazy to ask them one by one, so she just posted a message on her WeChat Moments.

Less than ten minutes after the message was posted, Xiao Wu, who was in the front row, turned around while holding up his phone.

"Jiang Lu, you need to rent a place? I know a lot of real estate agents, I can recommend you if you need one."

Jiang Wan excitedly grabbed her hand.

"Yes, yes, push everything onto me, Xiao Wu, you're an angel, I'll buy you coffee."

The car arrived at the law firm building around noon.

When Lu Jingshi got out of the car, he glanced at Xiao Wu seemingly unintentionally.

Xiao Wu understood immediately and slowed down, falling behind him.

Jiang Wan didn't notice anything unusual about the two of them and walked further and further away.

Seeing that she had entered the building first, Lu Jingshi finally asked the question that had been bothering him.

How did you know she wanted to rent an apartment?

"...Jiang posted it on WeChat Moments."

Lu Jingshi took out his phone, opened Jiang Wan's homepage, and kept scrolling down to refresh it.

No matter how I swipe, it's all blank; there's nothing there.

Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, not daring to breathe.

Lu Jingshi seemed to have thought of something, looking in the direction where Jiang Wan's figure disappeared.

His jawline tightened, his cheeks seemed to twitch slightly, and his deep, dark eyes were filled with rage.

Jiangwan blocked him!

.........

Haicheng is located by the sea. Standing on the 22nd floor of Kairong Building, you can see the winding coastline in the distance.

Lu Jingshi leaned against the French windows, a cigarette between his fingers.

Half of his face was hidden in the smoke, appearing and disappearing intermittently, like a carefully staged photograph.

This is the scene that Xiao Wu saw when he came in.

These past few days, she has been extremely cautious when entering and leaving the director's office.

Because Director Lu's resentment was about to engulf the entire 22nd floor.

Unfortunately, the person who started this whole thing was completely unaware of it, as they were either revising the plan or frequently going out.

Xiao Wu was heartbroken.

What kind of plan is the older sister making?

Let him be the director; he's practically broken.

She could tell from day one that there was something going on between the director and Lawyer Jiang.

The director has had so many assistants, but he never cares what shoes each one is wearing.

Although he used the excuse of shoe heels disturbing the peace, he remembered the size and brand by heart, and was actually just coldly washing underwear.

But all of this seems to be flirting with the blind.

Not only could Jiang Lu not see it, but she even blocked the director from seeing her WeChat Moments.

Lu Jingshi heard the noise and turned around.

"What's up?"

"Director Lu, the property management says they need to upgrade the security system at our office tonight and they would like your authorization."

Lu Jingshi stubbed out his cigarette, put on his coat, and went to the property management office with Xiao Wu.

Passing by the empty suite, I felt a lump in my throat.

"Has she been out for too long?"

Two hours.

Lu Jingshi frowned: "Did they say where they went? Why aren't they back yet?"

Xiao Wu shook his head: "Jiang only said it was something very important, so he might not come this afternoon."

For some reason, the first thing that flashed through Lu Jingshi's mind was that gentle and handsome face.

Hmph, what important business could she possibly have? She's just using this as an excuse to go on a date.

These bastards have opened a restaurant in their own backyard! Do they really think this is part of their play?

"Record absence without leave."
