To protect her billion-dollar fortune, the newly widowed Su Jin is forced to get married again.
After the wedding, the two agreed not to interfere with each other and not to affect each other...
As Zheng Lin finished writing the character '郑', his other identity as a lawyer suddenly made him think of something.
He put the pen back, capped it, and tucked it back into his pocket.
"I need to take another look at this agreement. Gao Zixin, get Miss Su a chair," Zheng Lin said without looking up.
Assistant Gao moved the most comfortable chair from the side and placed it at the other end of the desk, directly facing Zheng Lin.
Su Jin: "......"
She was indeed tired of standing, so she sat down and slammed her hands on the table with a crisp "smack": "You're just stalling for time."
“But I’ve already transferred your inheritance to you. What else do you have to worry about?” Zheng Lin looked at the terms of the divorce agreement carefully, pointing to each clause with his finger, not letting go of any clue.
He was trying to find unsuitable clauses in the agreement so that he could delay things for another day or two.
Of course, he couldn't reveal these despicable thoughts to her.
So he could only come up with an excuse, saying, "This is my professional conduct as a lawyer, please respect that, Ms. Su. I will be able to read these soon."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Gao Zixin, pour Miss Su a cup of coffee too."
Coffee might be bad for the baby in my belly. Su Jin immediately stopped her: "No need, I don't drink coffee. I won't be able to sleep at night if I do. Assistant Gao, just give me a cup of hot milk."
Zheng Lin held the divorce agreement, turned his chair around, and faced away from Su Jin.
He looked out the window, his tongue lightly brushing against his teeth, his mind instantly going blank.
Assistant Gao brought over some hot milk. Su Jin held it with both hands, gently blew away the steam, and took a small sip.
Drinking milk is good for babies.
Thinking of her baby, her eyes curved into happy crescent shapes.
Through the light and shadows cast by the floor-to-ceiling windows, Zheng Lin saw Su Jin's face full of joy, which was like another punch to his heart.
This is his loneliness all by himself!
Once she signs the papers, she can elope with her young boyfriend and won't care about an old flame like him!
Su Jin placed the clause about child custody in the middle, making it difficult to notice, but if he looked at each clause carefully, it would definitely be seen!
She could no longer sit idly by and wait for her fate. Holding the milk cup, she moved quietly to Zheng Lin's side.
As long as he spills milk on the paper, he won't know about the child.
The divorce can be postponed, but the child's existence cannot be revealed; he cannot know about the child's existence!
The most urgent thing is to destroy the divorce agreement so that he can't see that clause.
Zheng Lin turned to look at her. The divorce agreement was on his lap. He adjusted his glasses with his finger. "It'll be soon."
"Oh, oh." Su Jin gripped the milk cup tightly, feeling the scalding heat in her palm. Her eyes darted around for a moment, and then she suddenly cried out, "Ahhh, it's so hot!"
She threw the cup onto Zheng Lin's lap, and the milky white milk instantly soaked the thick paper.
His pants were completely soaked, and milk was dripping down his pants.
Zheng Lin: "......"
Assistant Gao's mouth formed a wide circle. "My, my, my God."
He covered his mouth, clutched the tissue box, and ran to Zheng Lin's side, asking out of humanitarian concern, "Are you alright?"
Su Jin, the culprit, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the agreement that had been carelessly thrown on the ground.
Zheng Lin glanced at Assistant Gao and gritted his teeth, saying, "Gao Zixin, don't you know that a woman's skin is delicate? You have to wait until the milk isn't so hot before bringing it over. If you do this again, get out of here!"
Assistant Gao lowered his head as he was scolded, his eyes peeking upwards like a puppy that had done something wrong: "Then I'll go buy you a pair of pants first."
Zheng Lin waved his hand, and only then did Assistant Gao dare to move again.
Su Jin also planned to go out with Assistant Gao. Anyway, since the divorce wouldn't happen today, it wasn't her business anymore.
As soon as she turned around, the person behind her called out to her, "Miss Su, wait a minute."
Assistant Gao deliberately slowed his pace and listened intently.
Su Jin turned her head and looked over: "Sorry for just now, I burned you."
After saying that, she tried to slip away again.
Ignoring the wet and sticky feeling on his legs, Zheng Lin caught up with her and grabbed her wrist.
"Please keep a distance from me..."
"Keep your distance." Before Su Jin could finish speaking, her hand was turned over, and he lowered his head to blow air into her palm.
Su Jin's heart skipped a beat.
Zheng Lin looked at her slightly red palms and pulled her along, running to the bathroom.
He glanced at the restrooms on both sides and asked, "Is anyone in the women's restroom?"
Seeing that no one responded, he went directly into the women's restroom.
As soon as he entered, he stood in front of the sink and put her hands into the cold water to rinse them.
"Are you feeling better? Does it still hurt?" Zheng Lin bent over, his eyes full of concern, and his gaze softened.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Su Jin's gaze swept over his trouser leg. He looked disheveled running out like that, and he himself had also been burned to some extent. Instead of checking on himself, he was worried about whether she was alright.
Compared to this, she seems to have gone a bit too far.
Her conscience pricked for a moment, she withdrew her hand, and squatted down to roll up his trouser leg, but he stopped her in time.
Zheng Lin looked embarrassed: "What are you doing?"
"Let me see how serious your condition is." Su Jin looked up at him, her tone very gentle.
Even though she did something wrong, she can't be assertive anymore.
Outside, the employees at their posts had just witnessed a miraculous scene and were now discussing it intensely.
"This is the first time I've ever seen our boss running so fast with a woman in his arms."
"This is the first time I've ever seen the boss go into the women's restroom."
"It's love, it must be love! Rushing into the women's restroom for love, not the men's restroom, you guys think about it, think about it again."
Everyone took a closer look and nodded in agreement.
Zheng Lin led Su Jin slowly back, attracting a lot of attention from the employees along the way.
Everyone frantically typed on their keyboards, but their eyes were all glancing sideways at the boss.
Once the two returned to their office and closed the door, they resumed their lively discussion.
"This is the first time."
"I heard the boss is getting a divorce? Assistant Gao said it in the group chat yesterday."
"If they can't separate, then they're definitely inseparable."
Assistant Gao, carrying a bag, hurriedly ran to the boss's office door, but just as she was about to pull the door open, she noticed the intense gazes of the people behind her.
He turned around and looked at them suspiciously, then pointed at them and said, "Something's not right with you guys."
So, everyone pulled Assistant Gao along to gossip. After listening, Assistant Gao's eyes lit up. He suddenly felt that being scolded was worth it. Before he knew it, he had become the boss's little angel on the road to love!
Thanks to his cup of piping hot milk, the flame of love that had been extinguished between the boss and his wife was rekindled!
