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

In a five-story villa in Linhai Villa Bay.

Yu Qing was directing the servants to do their work when a fluffy West Highland Terrier ran around behind her.

"Today is the young master's birthday, and the master will be back too. Please prepare the food carefully, wipe the table again, make sure the napkins are folded neatly, and use the Baccarat crystal glasses set brought back from Italy..."

She paced back and forth throughout the room, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

As she turned around, she accidentally stepped on the fluffy little tail, which caused her to whimper in pain.

"Oh dear, my little darling, are you just making things worse too?"

She glanced at the rice bowl in the corner and nodded the little thing's head reproachfully.

"You won't even eat top-quality imported blueberries, so you should starve yourself for a few days. Then you'll find even the food from humble restaurants delicious."

The door unlocked automatically, and Lu Guokun entered, just in time to hear her words.

He frowned unhappily.

"How many times have I told you not to say things like that again? Lu's Group has spent so much on marketing to build such a good reputation, don't you dare cause me trouble."

Yu Qing stepped forward and helped him take off his coat and change into slippers.

"I just nag about it at home, but I know how to behave when I'm out."

"Didn't you see the news? The idiot in your family has caused trouble with his mouth. Doesn't he often bring disaster to the company? Don't say things like that at home again."

"Okay, okay."

Yu Qing gave a perfunctory reply, but suddenly her gaze stopped and landed on the collar of Lu Guokun's white shirt.

The red lipstick mark was very obvious, and it looked like half a lip print.

Lu Guokun followed her gaze, looked at himself in the mirror, and gave an indifferent snort.

"These stupid women, that's all they've got."

Yu Qing's lips moved for a long time before she finally uttered a sentence.

"Ah Shi and Tian Tian will be here soon. Go and change your clothes so the children don't see."

Lu Guokun went upstairs to change his clothes.

Until his figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Yu Qing walked to the window and dialed the driver's number.

"Does Mr. Lu have any meetings scheduled this afternoon?"

"Madam, Mr. Lu has no public schedules this afternoon, however..."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and Yu Qing urged impatiently, "But what? Have you forgotten? Your other job pays much more than driving."

"Madam, I haven't forgotten. I just can't be sure... President Lu went out with Secretary Shen this afternoon, but he didn't let me go. Secretary Shen drove there herself."

"Okay, keep preparing the snacks."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Qing picked up Lu Guokun's suit jacket and shook it gently.

A room key and a condom fell out at the same time.

Yu Qing's face instantly drained of all color!

In fact, given Lu Guokuan's current wealth and status, she didn't believe he wouldn't try to climb the social ladder.

It's not uncommon for people to put on an act at dinner parties, and she can always pretend not to know or do anything about it.

But this Secretary Shen actually dared to have such crooked thoughts, laying all these things out in front of her; she's truly greedy...

"Madam, the young master and Miss Fang have returned."

The maid's voice interrupted Yu Qing's thoughts. She hummed in response and walked towards the door.

"What's the matter that you called me back so urgently?" Lu Jingshi asked as soon as he entered the door. "I'll be leaving in a bit."

Yu Qing was already unhappy, and her face turned even uglier upon hearing this.

"Do you know what day it is today? I went to great lengths to decorate all this, and you're leaving as soon as you walk in the door."

Seeing that she seemed genuinely angry, Fang Tian quickly pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

"Auntie, please don't be angry with him. Today is Ah Shi's birthday, and it's also your special day. Last week, my parents sent me a beautiful violet jadeite bracelet, and I brought it here especially to give to you today."

Without saying a word, she put the gloves on Yu Qing and rotated her wrists left and right.

"Look how beautiful it is, so you absolutely mustn't get angry."

Yu Qing touched her face with satisfaction.

"Sweetie knows how to care for me. I wonder which lucky guy will be lucky enough to marry you."

She spoke while glancing at Lu Jingshi.

"Auntie dreams of having a daughter like you, but unfortunately, I'm not so lucky. But... if I can't be your daughter, being your daughter-in-law is fine too."

Fang Tian lowered her eyes, seemingly shy, but her peripheral vision was watching Lu Jingshi's reaction.

However, Lu Jingshi said nothing, changed his shoes, and went straight up to the third floor.

This was his room before he moved out.

He closed the door, lit a cigarette, and held it between his lips.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sky was already pitch black, with only the constantly flashing neon lights reflecting his mood.

He stubbed out his cigarette, went into the dressing room, and found a faded wooden box in the innermost drawer.

As I opened it, the contents flooded my mind along with my memories.

The outdated designer tie was bought for him by Jiang Wan with half a year's worth of living expenses when he participated in a mock trial debate in his freshman year.

The elegant and understated luxury cufflinks were bought for him by Jiang Wan through a network of personal shoppers on her WeChat Moments during his job interview after graduating from university, using the money they had saved for their upcoming trip.

She had heard that the director of that institute had a particular fondness for niche items, especially cufflinks.

It was thanks to the cufflink he deliberately showed during the interview that the director noticed him and chatted with him for a few more minutes, ultimately leading to his successful interview.

An outdated wallet, a thermos that no longer keeps things warm...

Jiang Wan took good care of him during those years.

Finally, his gaze settled on the phone that hadn't been turned on for five years.

There was only one text message stored in it—a breakup message sent by Jiang Wan.

He took a picture of it and sent it to Jiang Wan.

I received a reply very quickly.

It's a short video.

Jiang Wan seemed to be at the seaside, holding a sparkler in her hand, and gently said to the sky, "Happy birthday, Lu Jingshi."

Lu Jingshi's heart skipped a beat, and a long-lost joy made his blood boil.

He quickly put the box away, returned it to its original place, and went out.

Downstairs, Lu Guokun, Yu Qing, and Fang Tian were chatting warmly at the dining table.

Seeing him rushing from upstairs to the door, Lu Guokun called out to him.

"Come and eat."

Lu Jingshi refused, saying, "You guys eat."

Lu Guokun immediately flew into a rage: "What do you mean, 'we're eating'? Where are you going?"

"Outside."

"...Nonsense! It's your birthday today, how could you walk away all by yourself?"

Lu Jingshi didn't even look up as he changed his shoes and put on his coat.

"Isn't this how you guys always are, making decisions without telling me anything beforehand? Sorry, you guys keep celebrating, I have plans."

Having said that, he pushed open the door and left.

Lu Guokuan slammed his hand on the dining table in anger, pointing at Yu Qing and gritting his teeth.

"It's all your fault for spoiling him; I think he's going to drive us crazy!"

When Fang Tian went out to chase after Lu Jing, all she saw was the Maybach speeding away.

When they returned to the villa, Lu Guokun had already gone upstairs.

Yu Qing was staring blankly at a table full of untouched dishes.

When Fang Tian came in, she waved to her and asked Fang Tian to sit down next to her.

"Sweetie, Auntie's asking you, lately... has any strange girl appeared around Shi?"
