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

"Jiang Wan, are you trying to seduce me?"

Lu Jingshi parted his thin lips slightly, his breath brushing against Jiang Wan's face, almost making her lose her senses.

She feigned composure, her face displaying a mix of mockery and probing.

"Lu Jingshi, I don't understand. You clearly hate me, you despise me to the core, so why do you still insist on having me? Could it be... that you still have feelings for me?"

Lu Jingshi was taken aback at first, then looked as if he had heard some earth-shattering joke, his face full of disbelief.

"Jiang Wan, did you forget your face this morning? Since you know I hate you to the core, then I want you to get revenge on you and torture you."

Jiang Wan stared intently into his eyes.

She finally realized that those dark eyes that had once captivated her now held nothing but resentment, disgust, and mockery.

Her heart sank lower and lower. She looked away, loosened her grip on his neck, and tried to back away.

But Lu Jingshi not only didn't let go of her, he pushed her down onto the desk and then pressed himself against her.

Jiang Wan's eyes widened in horror as she pushed against his chest with her hand.

"Lu Jingshi, you're insane! Let me go!"

"Weren't you the one who seduced me just now? Is this a new trick you learned abroad? I'll give you what you want, since I won't lose anything."

His lips drew closer and closer, his ragged breaths spraying onto Jiang Wan's face, and he was about to press down on her.

"Lu Jingshi, please... let me go."

Lu Jingshi suddenly stopped, feeling annoyed by her tearful appearance, and then stood up and took two steps back.

"You think I actually want to touch you? Get lost."

Jiang Wan slowly sat up, rubbing her bruised wrist as she walked back to her small suite.

Lu Jingshi watched her retreating figure, irritably smoothing the stray hairs that had fallen across his forehead.

"Honey, when you become a senior partner, how about I become your assistant? If I don't want to work hard anymore, you can support me, right?"

"Okay, from now on you'll not only be my work assistant, but also my personal assistant. I'll take you everywhere I go, so don't even think about leaving me..."

In the cramped rented room, a pretty and lively girl nestled in the arms of the man behind her, acting coquettishly.

The man lovingly dried her half-dry hair.

Before they could even dry themselves completely, the two of them tumbled into the large bed next to each other in an embrace...

and after?

Later, she abandoned herself for money!

"Jiang Wan, you'd better give up on the idea of ​​leaving. You owe me something you can never repay in this lifetime."

"Bang!"

The only response he received was the suite door being slammed shut.

Lu Jingshi angrily tugged at his tie, grabbed the teacup on the table, and raised it.

After hesitating for a few moments, he finally put it down and drank it all in one gulp.

"How was the tea brewed?"

"It tastes so bitter, it's awful!"

Jiang Wan simply thought he was barking like a dog.

I had just returned to my workstation when my phone rang. It was a message from Wang Yiran.

"Are you alright? Shall I come pick you up?"

She took a deep breath and typed rapidly.

"You've passed this test for now. Work hard and come back to redeem me soon."

Putting down her phone, Jiang Wan picked up the materials Xiao Wu had given her and began to look through them.

Time slipped by quietly.

Jiang Wan was organizing the documents in her hand when there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Wu poked his head in.

A pair of flat shoes was handed to him.

"Jiang Lu, I just bought these at the mall next door. The director said... walking around in high heels gives him a headache."

Jiang Wan was speechless. After the near-miss with the fire that morning, she had deliberately tried to keep a low profile.

I only went out twice this morning, once to get water and once to go to the restroom.

Besides, he was wearing headphones during both online meetings, so how could he hear the sound of high heels?

He's clearly trying to make things difficult for her!

However, after wearing those stilettos all morning, my feet really hurt so much they felt like they were going to crack.

She thanked him, took the shoes, and put them on. They fit perfectly and were from her usual brand.

"Thank you, Xiao Wu, it's perfect. I'll transfer the money to you."

Xiao Wu waved his hand repeatedly: "No need, Lawyer Jiang, it can be reimbursed."

Jiang Wan was astonished. Shoe purchases could be reimbursed?

Kairong's benefits are really good.

......

Lu Jingshi is not only the face of Kairong, but also a celebrity in Haicheng.

On weekdays, in addition to handling matters within the institute, I also have to participate in many external activities.

Jiang Wan spent the whole morning organizing his schedule for next month.

The dense array of red circles startled her.

Is this how he worked so hard for the past five years?

My wristwatch vibrated; it was already noon, time to take my medicine.

Jiang Wan took out an unmarked medicine bottle from her bag.

He poured out two white pills and swallowed them dry.

After thinking for a moment, he got up and went outside.

Outside, Lu Jingshi was leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed, flipping through the documents in his hands.

Hearing the noise, he didn't move, but simply turned his chair slightly.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the figure slowly approaching.

Jiang Wan walked over and extended her hand to Lu Jingshi.

"It's time to take your medicine."

Lu Jingshi ignored her and slammed the documents in his hand onto the table.

Jiang Wan glanced at it and found that it was actually her own information form.

His finger tapped on the column for the university he graduated from.

"Should I call you stupid or short-sighted? Five years ago, you had such a good opportunity, and you didn't even try to get into a prestigious foreign university."

"Did you really spend all those years abroad, neither studying nor working, just squandering money like water?"

He let out a cold laugh, which sounded like mockery, but also like self-mockery.

"You're content with a mere 300 million? Your love and your dreams are as cheap as they are."

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes; Lu Jingshi was right.

She had indeed dreamed of one day studying at one of the world's top law schools.

But all of that was put on hold five years ago.

She was even somewhat dazed, as if it were something from a past life.

Unable to answer his question, Jiang Wan could only stretch out her hand.

"Kidney-protecting medication must be taken on time."

Lu Jingshi raised an eyebrow, took a medicine bottle from a drawer, and tossed it into her hand.

"Two pills, warm water."

"I know."

The office door was suddenly pushed open.

A strong fragrance wafted into the air, and Fang Tian gracefully walked in.

"What are you doing?"

Her gaze swept over Jiang Wan's hand.

"I forgot to tell you, Miss Jiang, I will be coming to have dinner with A-Shi every day from now on, so you won't need to trouble yourself with taking his medicine."

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and put the medicine bottle back on the table.

Fang Tian skillfully poured out the medicine, counted it, and handed it to Lu Jingshi.

He did not forget to turn back and explain to Jiang Wan.

"A new restaurant has opened downstairs. Ms. Jiang, could you please pack a few dishes to go? Please remember, I don't eat asparagus."

"I'm sorry, I can't help you. I have some personal business to attend to."

Jiang Wan refused outright, then walked out of the office without even looking at her.

She has a gentle nature, but she's not someone to be bullied.

She and Lu Jingshi were already a thing of the past.

What's wrong with Fang Tian? Why is she treating her like a rival?
