Gu Qing's heart stirred slightly, but she quickly calmed down. "There's no need to come. There's no possibility between us anymore."

What are you saying?

"Mom, ever since that day when you cursed her and her family at her doorstep, and I stood behind you without saying a word, there has been no possibility between us anymore."

Gu Qing understood perfectly well.

He had reflected on his behavior that day countless times.

Perhaps if he were to say something, their stories would be different.

Cao Yating didn't think that her son and Xu Wan were a possibility at all. In her opinion, with the Gu family's assets of hundreds of millions, it would be easy for Gu Qing to marry Xu Wan.

She patted her son on the shoulder: "Anyway, you can't rush this. When she breaks up with President Jiang, she will be at her most vulnerable. You will definitely have a chance to comfort her."

Gu Qing didn't want to hope for someone else's breakup, so she said, "Let's talk about this later. I'm going to work now."

He drove out.

I saw a young couple walking hand in hand on the sidewalk. The girl had long, straight, black hair and looked a lot like Xu Wan from my student days.

-

Jiang Tingzhou will spend the entire day at Tianyuan Law Firm today.

Although everyone knows he is Xu Wan's husband, Xu Wan doesn't want to have lunch with him.

I went to a restaurant early and bought a set meal, returning just before my lunch break ended.

The most important case she has on hand recently is the first instance trial of Tang Lu's case.

Because of the car accident, the case involves some criminal law provisions, which Xu Wan is not particularly familiar with, so she has to spend more time organizing them.

After lunch, Xu Wan returned to the law firm and found Jiang Tingzhou sitting at her workstation!

Why don't you go to your own office?

Xu Wan noticed that her colleagues around her were secretly looking at her, and her cheeks turned even redder.

"I had nothing to do, so I came to see what case you were working on and see if there was anything I could help with?"

Jiang Tingzhou, on the other hand, was very open and generous.

"No……"

Xu Wan didn't not want to ask, but asking here made her feel like everyone was watching her, which made her especially embarrassed.

Jiang Tingzhou saw through her thoughts, "Then you can ask here and I'll tell you here, or you can bring your things to my office and ask. Choose one."

"..."

"You haven't seen my new office yet, have you? Let me show you around."

Jiang Tingzhou extended an invitation directly.

Xu Wan quickly shook her head: "No need, no need, I'll ask you here."

She finally understood why many places ban office romances—it's just too embarrassing!

Xu Wan took a deep breath and began to tell Jiang Tingzhou about Tang Lu's case. "Although I know that after such a serious car accident, the court will most likely grant the divorce, I don't want to take the risk. I want to find some more favorable legal provisions to make the reasons more convincing."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. What have you prepared so far? Show me the list of evidence."

Jiang Tingzhou also got to work.

The two discussed for over an hour. With Jiang Tingzhou's help, Xu Wan reorganized the legal provisions and revised the legal documents.

It took about two and a half hours to finish all the work.

When Xu Wan snapped out of her work mode and looked up, she found herself surrounded by many colleagues.

Xu Wan was startled, "You, you guys..."

A colleague joked, "Attorney Xu, you guys are busy with your work. We're just here to see how the big shots prepare the legal provisions in advance."

Jiang Tingzhou just pulled up a chair and sat down next to Xu Wan.

Now that his work was finished, he stood up and replied with a smile, "Even the best lawyer has to look up information in books when encountering unfamiliar areas; it's impossible to memorize all the legal provisions."

"Knowing that even the big shots aren't walking encyclopedias puts our minds at ease."

Once the lawyers had finished their presentations, they decided not to linger and dispersed.

Jiang Tingzhou stretched and, while helping Xu Wan tidy up the things on the table, asked, "I've helped you so much, how are you going to thank me?"

Xu Wan tore off a piece of sticky note, wrote a few words on it, and handed it to Jiang Tingzhou.

Jiang Tingzhou took it, glanced at it, and saw that there was nothing shameful written on it.

It's simply a matter of four words: "I'll treat you to a meal."

Jiang Tingzhou gently placed his hand on Xu Wan's hand that was holding the pen, and asked in a low voice, "If I come every day from now on, are you planning to pass me notes every day?"
