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

The car slowly drove into the residential area. Jiang Wan wanted to get out of the car and greet the security guard to let her through.

But they found that as soon as Lu Jingshi's car drove nearby, the barrier automatically lifted.

"Welcome home, Mr. Lu."

Lu Jingshi nodded slightly and drove into the underground parking garage with practiced ease.

She then realized that he also lived here.

"Jiang Wan, you've really gone to great lengths! Who told you I lived here?"

"Director Lu, I admire your confidence. Why don't you think the country has used your confidence to research bulletproof vests?"

Hearing Lu Jingshi turn the tables on Jiang Wan, she laughed in anger.

She immediately scrolled through the photo album to find the property certificate that Xiao Wu had shown her.

"This is the house that Xiao Wu's friend recently got married and moved away to, so it became vacant. I didn't specifically ask you about it. If I had known earlier..."

"Why didn't you know sooner?"

Lu Jingshi slammed on the brakes and stopped the car, immediately sending a chill down the spine.

"If you had known I lived here, you would have stayed far away. Jiang Wan, how could you forget again..."

"I told you, you'll never escape in this lifetime. It seems even God is on my side, sending you right under my nose."

His voice was cold and smug.

The temperature inside the car dropped several degrees instantly.

Jiang Wan shivered and changed the subject.

"Aren't you... hungry? Let's go back and cook."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wan added another sentence.

"Your place or mine?"

Lu Jingshi's eyes, which had been as cold as ice, flickered for a moment, his throat moved slightly, and a warm feeling slowly rose in his heart.

It was a very ordinary sentence, but she said it with an upward inflection at the end.

It carried an invitation, and various scenes from the past flooded his mind, disturbing his peace of mind.

Damn!

"Go to your place, my place... is inconvenient."

Jiang Wan felt a slight warmth in his heart. Right, how could he have forgotten that he had Fang Tian at home?

That's his current girlfriend.

It felt like there was a big rock stuck in my throat, both painful and dry.

She quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

Once inside the house, Jiang Wan washed her hands and began preparing the ingredients.

Lu Jingshi walked behind her and watched her cut the fish.

"You never knew these things before."

"Oh, I learned it abroad."

Anyone who has ever eaten at a white-female restaurant knows how dehumanizing it can be.

During the years Jiang Wan spent abroad, except for the first year when he was not in good health and was forced to eat dry white food for a year, he was fine.

In the other years, I cooked for myself almost every day, and my cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds.

"You did it for him? The second son of the Gu family."

The second son of the Gu family?

Jiang Wan blinked, then suddenly realized he was talking about Gu Yang.

It seems that Lu Jingshi investigated her relationship with Gu Yang.

She gave a dry laugh, her intense guilt causing her hand holding the knife to tremble slightly.

During those years in the United States, she and Gu Yang did indeed cook for each other frequently.

He cooks Western food and he cooks Chinese food; they seem to depend on each other for survival.

"What hasn't he eaten?"

"He hasn't eaten anything today."

The ingredients for Chinese food abroad are not as abundant as those in China. The dishes she made today were all ones she learned to make after returning home.

Lu Jingshi's expression softened, and he casually opened the drawer on the left.

He took out an apron.

Jiang Wan turned her head to look at him in surprise. She hadn't even noticed the apron here. How did he know?

"The kitchen is only so big, you're just being stupid."

Jiang Wan knew that this man couldn't say anything nice, so she simply put down the knife and pushed him to sit on the sofa.

I had just sat down when my cell phone rang at the entrance.

Seeing that her hands were wet and it was inconvenient for her, Lu Jingshi took them for her.

When his gaze fell on the name on the screen, his brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.

This person really can't stand being talked to.

Jiang Wan gestured for him to answer the call and put it to her ear.

Lu Jingshi swiped to unlock the phone, and then... casually pressed the speakerphone button and tossed it onto the table.

Jiang Wan glared at him. It was a shame that this person, who was supposed to be the director of a university, didn't even understand the importance of respecting other people's privacy.

Gu Yang's gentle voice came through the phone.

"Wanwan, where are you? I saw your post on WeChat Moments complaining. Did you book a place yet?"

"If you haven't made a reservation yet, I happen to have a vacant apartment that I bought before I went abroad. It's only a 20-minute drive from Rongcheng."

"If you haven't decided yet, I'll come and pick you up to stay at my place for a few days. Once that place is settled, you can move in."

With each word Gu Yang spoke, Lu Jingshi's face darkened further.

Jiang Wan's heart trembled at the sight, and she quickly interrupted him.

"Gu Yang, thank you for your concern, but I don't need it anymore. The house is all settled, and I'm... in my new home now."

Gu Yang's tone was clearly disappointed.

"It's done so quickly? Then I'll treat you to your housewarming party another day, I want to eat your sweet and sour fish."

"……good."

Jiang Wan's hands had dried, and she reached out to grab her phone from the table.

Just as they were about to touch, a pair of large hands suddenly grabbed her waist, lifted her up, and placed her across a pair of strong thighs.

My lips also felt a cool, refreshing sensation.

The air was filled with Lu Jingshi's cool, refreshing fragrance.

Jiang Wan's eyelids twitched wildly. She wanted to call out to him, but as soon as she opened her cherry lips, a nimble little snake slithered in.

With her head pinned down, the little snake kept trying to burrow deeper until she was completely exhausted.

Gu Yang spoke a few more words, but Jiang Wan couldn't hear anything.

She could only suppress her breathing and press her whole body against Lu Jingshi's chest.

"Wanwan, are you listening?"

Jiang Wan twisted her body, trying to push Lu Jingshi away, but her soft, weak little hands pounded his chest, as if inviting him to take his caresses further.

Left with no other choice, she had to use her teeth to push.

A sweet, bloody taste immediately filled their mouths.

Lu Jingshi slightly opened his eyes, looked at the girl in his arms who was covered in sweat, curled the corners of his lips, and reached out to hang up the phone.

Then... he released Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan immediately got off his lap and took a few steps back.

My lips feel hot and painful.

"Lu Jingshi, have you gone mad?"

"This is punishment."

Lu Jingshi's breathing was disordered, and his black shirt was disheveled and ambiguous from Jiang Wan's grasp.

The sofa back where the two were leaning was dented, a testament to the intensity of what had just happened.

He reached out and wiped the blood seeping from his lips, suppressing the restless desire in his body.

Jiang Wan was both angry and annoyed: "What punishment? What did I do wrong?"

"Moments!"

Lu Jingshi spoke each word with gritted teeth.

"If you dare to block me again, this won't be the end of it."

He got up, casually straightened his shirt, and strode towards the door.

"There's an exchange meeting between the two institutions tomorrow morning. Don't be late."

Son of a bitch!

He was just acting all love-struck, but in the blink of an eye he can bring up serious work.

She couldn't understand why he would treat her like this when he already had Fang Tian as his girlfriend.

The next day, Jiang Wan and Lu Jingshi entered the office one after the other.

Xiao Wu, who was boiling water, saw Jiang Wan first and asked in confusion.

"Jiang Lu, it's autumn and there are still mosquitoes? Your lips are all bitten and swollen."

Jiang Wan smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Wu wanted to say more, but when he looked up, he saw the director who had come in after him.

And... lips that were also injured.

It fits perfectly with the wound on Jiang Lu's lip!

Her hand trembled, and hot water dripped onto her arm, but she didn't feel the heat at all; instead, she felt an uncomfortable urge to scratch her head.

She has a shocking secret, but she can't share it with anyone...
