Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.
Chapter 25 My House Has No Electricity
Gu Yang was very efficient; the dress shop delivered the clothes to his door early the next morning.
They are all the latest haute couture designs from a certain luxury brand.
"Ms. Jiang, Mr. Gu has selected three dresses that suit your style. Would you like to try them on?"
It must be said that Gu Yang has a very sophisticated aesthetic sense.
None of the three dresses had exaggerated designs, yet they all perfectly accentuated Jiang Wan's great figure.
Every item was perfect, and Jiang Wan was having a hard time choosing.
"Ms. Jiang," the shop assistant pointed to the green slip dress Jiang Wan was wearing, "I personally recommend this one; it makes you look radiant."
Jiang Wan smiled. She was quite confident in her looks. Although she wasn't a stunningly beautiful woman with striking features, she was once a famous campus belle and goddess at China University of Political Science and Law.
With delicate features and beautiful eyebrows, she exudes a natural elegance even when not smiling. Her fair skin adds to her charm, earning her the nickname "photo killer."
However, the fatigue and exhaustion of these years have prevented her from dressing up carefully for a long time.
The deep V-neck that plunged to her chest even made her feel a little ashamed.
"Isn't this too low? Isn't it too revealing? People will talk about it."
"How could that be, Miss Jiang? We also have even lower-cut deep V-neck dresses in our store."
The shop assistant adjusted the tassels on her dress.
"Women have the freedom to dress as they please. As long as it's not intentional exposure or wardrobe malfunction, what's wrong with showing off your beauty? People will just admire how well you dress."
Jiang Wan was moved by what she said.
Just as I was struggling with this decision, the doorbell rang again.
Jiang Wan was overjoyed; it must be Gu Yang who brought the dog.
She didn't even have time to change her clothes before happily opening the door, but froze in place the moment she saw who it was.
Lu Jingshi stood outside the door.
"Why is it you?"
Lu Jingshi's already cold expression became even more gloomy. He quickly glanced at Jiang Wan, a hint of ambiguous emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Who do you think it is?"
"Director Lu, is there something you need so early in the morning?"
Jiang Wan ignored his question, lightly covered her exposed chest, and asked softly.
He has a beautiful woman by his side, why would he knock on her door if he doesn't crave intimacy in bed?
"The power is out. I have some important emails to check. Can I borrow your computer?"
Is there a power outage?
Jiang Wan looked up at the lights overhead: "They haven't stopped. Don't you rich people use power banks?"
Lu Jingshi stared at her for a long time, then suddenly let out a mocking laugh.
"It's not really urgent, it's fine if I don't reply to emails. It's just that if I don't reply to emails, the finance department can't process the transactions, and I don't know if Lao Wang is worried."
After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but the next second, his arm was suddenly grabbed.
"The study is the second room upon entering. The password is four 6s. Director Lu can use it freely."
Lu Jingshi smiled and said, "Thank you."
The female shop assistants inside stared intently as Lu Jingshi walked in, their eyes sparkling.
Jiang Wan looked at his back with resentment. This man really knew how to exploit her weaknesses.
Lu Jingshi suddenly turned around and looked at the dress she was wearing.
"She's right, a woman should please herself first, and this suits you perfectly."
Jiang Wan's face lit up with joy, and she gained even more confidence.
But a moment later he suddenly realized that the clerk had said those words before he knocked on the door, so how did he know?
How long did he eavesdrop outside the door?
"Ms. Jiang, would you like to order this one?" The sales assistant asked cautiously, noticing her sudden change in expression. "If you really don't like it, the white one is also nice."
"No need, this one is fine. Just change the size we agreed on earlier."
Having been up all this time without eating, Jiang Wan was already starving.
No sooner had she seen the shop assistant off than she went into the kitchen to make herself breakfast.
She took an egg from the refrigerator, glanced at the study, and then took another one.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Jingshi finished all his work and came out of the study.
Jiang Wan set out the chopsticks and sat down at the table.
In front of her were two slices of toast and a fried egg.
Opposite to me was a boiled egg and a bowl of oatmeal porridge.
"I just moved here a few days ago, and I haven't prepared everything. Please make do with this."
Lu Jingshi sat down and took a sip of oatmeal porridge.
It still tastes just like I remember. She always adds chicken and spinach to her oatmeal porridge, making it savory.
Seeing that he didn't complain, Jiang Wan curled her lips and lowered her head to eat her bread silently.
Neither of them spoke, yet neither felt awkward at all.
It felt like an ordinary morning, like countless others.
"you……"
"that……"
Jiang Wan handed him a tissue: "You go first."
"I had someone investigate Zhang Mei's ex-husband, Shi Lei. He's now working with General Manager Fu of Tianyu Real Estate. Perhaps you can find the answer to what you're looking for from him."
Jiang Wan's eyes brightened: "Really? Does he work there? I'll go to the front desk and wait for him tomorrow."
Lu Jingshi raised an eyebrow: "He doesn't work there."
"Huh?" Jiang Wan asked, puzzled. "Didn't you say he was working for the boss of Tianyu Real Estate?"
"President Fu of Tianyu Real Estate... is a strong woman, and Zhang Mei's ex-husband is her bodyguard."
Jiang Wan's eyes widened: "Bodyguard? And a close bodyguard? That's just..."
She was a little discouraged. Usually, these high-class guys were always with their sugar daddies. How could she possibly get to see him?
Lu Jingshi looked up: "Fu Manhua will be attending the charity gala tonight. If nothing unexpected happens, he should bring him along."
His gaze swept over Jiang Wan's suddenly delighted face.
"Attorney Jiang has a wide network of connections now, and he's even getting invited to these high-society dinners."
Jiang Wan pretended not to understand his sarcasm and took a bite of the fried egg with a smile.
The doorbell rang again.
Jiang Wan put down her chopsticks and rushed over: "Coming, coming!"
The door opened, and a black and white object suddenly darted into Jiang Wan's arms. Jiang Wan hurriedly caught it.
Gu Yang entered the room with a smile and changed into the slippers that Jiang Wan had prepared in advance.
"I was so excited when I told you I was bringing it to you that I didn't even eat properly this morning."
Jiang Wan frowned with heartache.
"My sweet baby, Mommy missed you so much! Let Mommy hug you!"
The sound of a soup spoon falling and hitting the marble dining table came from behind me. It was a sharp, jarring sound.
Gu Yang tilted his head: "Wanwan, do you have guests?"
Almost simultaneously, Lu Jingshi walked out of the restaurant, his steps somewhat hurried.
His brows relaxed abruptly when he saw the object in Jiang Wan's arms.
"Young Master Lu?"
Gu Yang blinked. He knew that Lu Jingshi was Jiang Wan's boss, but why would he appear at Wanwan's house so early in the morning?
A gray t-shirt, black pants, and a pair of Hermès slippers—understated yet casual.
Lu Jingshi nodded slightly.
"Have you had breakfast so early? We just ate too, want to grab something together?"
Jiang Wan turned to look at him, her face saying, "Are you sick?"
What the hell are you talking about? Where's the extra food?
Fortunately, Gu Yang refused.
"No need, Mr. Lu. I'm here to deliver Summer to Wanwan. I have other things to do at the store, so I'll be leaving now."
"Wanwan, I'll pick you up at eight o'clock tonight."
