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

"Did you upgrade my room?" Jiang Wan asked softly.

"Otherwise what? Who else will care about you?"

"The hotel receptionist said it was me..."

Lu Jingshi turned his head and scratched his brow, his tone becoming increasingly impatient.

"I'm too lazy to explain our working relationship, so I might as well just say we're boyfriend and girlfriend. But don't get the wrong idea."

Jiang Wan nodded and responded softly.

A hotel porter pushed in a suitcase, which stopped next to the two people.

"Mr. Lu, let me help you put your luggage in the room."

Lu Jingshi smiled and took out the room key, handing it to him.

"Thank you for your help, 1806."

"Are you staying here too?"

Jiang Wan was surprised, although Fang Tian wasn't speechless enough to book her a cheap hotel that cost only a few dozen yuan.

But this hotel is just a budget chain, far inferior to his five-star luxury hotel.

Besides, tomorrow's speech will be held in the conference hall on the first floor of that hotel, so why would he go to the trouble of staying here?

Could it be that he felt bad about living here?

Lu Jingshi glanced at her indifferently: "Don't overthink it. It's just that it's too far away for me to ask you to come up. I'll go upstairs now."

He tossed out an explanation and strode into the elevator.

Jiang Wan only realized after receiving the room key that the newly assigned room was number 1808.

It's right next to Lu Jingshi's house.

Just as he said, it was indeed very convenient to summon him.

She had just pushed her luggage into the room and hadn't even sat down to catch her breath when there was a knock on the door, and Lu Jingshi's voice came from outside.

"I'll come over when I'm done with my work, something's up."

Inside room 1806, Lu Jingshi sat at his desk, proofreading his presentation slides for tomorrow.

Seeing Jiang Wan enter, he slightly raised his eyelids and pointed to the chair next to him.

"There are two problems, please take a look."

Jiang Wan sat down, leaned closer to the computer, and began to read down line by line from where he was pointing.

Lu Jingshi turned slightly to the side, creating a small distance between them.

His freshly washed hair exuded the fragrance of jasmine, which lingered forcefully around his nose.

Because they were so close, Jiang Wan leaned forward slightly, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white chest. Her jet-black hair fell onto her fair skin, creating an extreme visual contrast.

Lu Jingshi's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily a few times, and his breathing became a little erratic.

He considers himself a person of few desires and has maintained a clean and virtuous lifestyle for the past five years, without any strong fluctuations in his emotions.

But when he met Jiang Wan, his body seemed to find a magnetic field and would always react unconsciously.

He took a breath, looked away, and got up to sit on the sofa next to him.

Jiang Wan didn't feel anything was wrong; on the contrary, she was grateful that he had given up his seat and moved to the spot he had been sitting in.

I silently applauded in my heart as I watched.

Lu Jingshi truly lived up to his reputation as a legal elite; his professionalism and comprehensiveness were admirable. However, she casually corrected a few minor issues with the data.

Time passed slowly in the room. When all the proofreading was finished, Jiang Wan realized that Lu Jingshi, who had been silent all along, had fallen asleep on the sofa.

He huddled in the corner, arms wrapped around himself, like a child lacking security.

His brows were furrowed tightly, as if there were unresolved problems even in his dreams.

Her hair was disheveled and fell across her forehead, and her long eyelashes obscured her sharp eyes.

This made him appear completely harmless at that moment, devoid of his usual sharpness.

Seeing his awkward posture, Jiang Wan pursed her lips, walked over and gently patted him.

"Wake up, go to bed."

Lu Jingshi's brows furrowed even more, but he showed no signs of waking up.

Jiang Wan pushed him again forcefully: "Lu Jingshi, go to bed, you'll get a stiff neck."

Lu Jingshi muttered something and turned his head: "Don't make a sound."

Then, somewhat shamelessly, he kicked off his shoes and lay down directly on the sofa.

Jiang Wan had no choice but to turn up the air conditioning temperature and bring a thin blanket to cover him.

The movements were so familiar, as if they had been done countless times.

She crouched down, looking at his peaceful sleeping face, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with confusion and sadness.

They didn't do anything wrong, so why did they end up like this?

She didn't even know who to blame; every step felt like fate was pushing her forward.

Just when she finally wanted to change her way of life and start over, fate wrapped her up tightly again, reminding her over and over that she couldn't escape.

Jiang Wan reached out, brushed aside the stray hairs on Lu Jingshi's forehead, secretly planted a kiss on his forehead, and then stood up.

"Go to sleep, I'm leaving."

"Wife..."

The whispers behind her sent a jolt through Jiang Wan; she was certain she wasn't hallucinating this time.

She turned around and saw that Lu Jingshi still had his eyes closed, as if he were dreaming, and his thin lips did not move.

Who is he calling this time?

Jiang Wan blinked quickly to disperse the misty fog, turned off the light, and left the room.

I didn't hear that sentence from the darkness.

"Jiang Wan, I really miss you..."

The seminar was scheduled for 8:30 a.m.

By 8 o'clock, the conference room, which can accommodate 1,000 people, was already packed.

Elite lawyers from all over the country eagerly awaited the arrival of the giant photo on the big screen.

Everyone was waiting for the youngest legal tycoon to take the stage.

Lu Jingshi is a figure who frequently appears on television and in the news.

Despite his young age, he is academically outstanding and has successfully solved many difficult cases that have caused a national sensation.

What made him famous nationwide was that transnational trade case three years ago.

The other party was a foreign company with strong economic strength and a century-long history. They took advantage of a loophole in the contract and sued the government department in Haicheng responsible for attracting investment.

The case seemed like an ironclad one, yet no one dared to take it on.

Even if you win, the other side might be relentless in their pursuit, which could easily become an international topic of discussion.

If you lose, you will not only have to face the impact on your reputation, but also endure public criticism and condemnation.

Only Lu Jingshi dared to step forward, leading his newly founded Kairong Law Firm.

From writing style to legal background, from legal theory to practice, he thoroughly examined legal codes and cases, scrutinizing every word and sentence, ultimately convincing the other party of their defeat.

The news sparked widespread public enthusiasm and generated significant buzz across various media platforms.

This quickly made Kairong, a fledgling small firm, and its leader famous throughout the country overnight.

Just when everyone thought that the traffic of social news would eventually be limited and the heat would soon pass, Lu Jingshi accepted a television interview.

In the footage, everyone expected him to be an old, scholarly man, but he turned out to be an excessively young man.

Moreover, the man's features were as if carved by a knife, handsome and exquisite. His simple clothes could not hide his noble air, and his eyes and brows exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay, making it impossible to look away.

When the interview aired, everyone was stunned, and it sparked a frenzy online.

Some people dug up his family background, some dug up his romantic history, and some even dug up his alternate social media accounts.

Devoted, affectionate, capable, and wealthy.

With all his buffs stacked up, Lu Jingshi was adored by the entire nation, keeping him on the trending topics list for half a month and gaining a large number of fans.

Whenever he attends various seminars, the meeting room is filled with industry professionals who admire him.

Those chasing each other on the road are the enthusiastic fans.
