Xu Wan was somewhat surprised, "Next week?"

“To be precise, I’ll be back before next Wednesday.” Jiang Tingzhou paused for a moment before explaining, “When I woke up this morning and didn’t see you, I was a little disoriented. It took me a while to remember that you had returned to China. After this morning, I realized that I can’t live without you…”

Actually, the two of them have been married for many years.

Whenever Xu Wan saw him, the man always looked like he was in complete control, never showing any excessive liking for anything or excessive dependence on anyone.

Xu Wan had worried before that their feelings might have changed after being separated for so many years.

The man's words, "I can't live without him," were like a reassuring pill for her.

Xu Wan looked down at the man's number on the phone and said gently, "Okay, I'll pick you up when you come back. As for the recovery, you can talk to Dr. Gong about it. If you need my cooperation in anything, I'll do my best to help you if I have the time."

Xu Wan has always been very busy since childhood, constantly busy with her studies and daily life.

During the time I was setting up the law firm, I finally had some free time.

She is also willing to dedicate time to her family.

"Yes, I spoke with Yanli on the phone this morning. There is a rehabilitation and convalescent center in Shenghe. I will need to stay there for a period of time. Medical staff will help me customize a rehabilitation plan based on my situation. Once everything is settled, I can go there for rehabilitation every day."

Jiang Tingzhou had already inquired about it himself.

Given his current condition, walking is almost impossible for him in the short term.

Even if you return to China, you still need to recuperate. Whether you return a week earlier or a week later, the effects will be about the same.

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be free during this time and can spend time with you like before."

"It depends on your schedule. If you have something to do, you don't need to come with me." Jiang Tingzhou paused. "I'll tell you the specific time you'll return to China in the next couple of days. I'll arrange to go back during the day."

"Okay, I'll wait for your message."

The couple talked on the phone for almost an hour.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Wan's hair was almost dry.

-

On Saturday, Xu Wan received a call from Jiang Tingzhou while she was discussing issues with the designer at the law firm.

The man told her that he was scheduled to return to his country next Tuesday.

However, after the man returned to his home country, he could not live with her; instead, he had to continue living in the apartment on the 27th floor of the same building.

This is no problem for them.

Ultimately, since we're all in the same building, it doesn't really matter whether we live upstairs or downstairs.

Xu Wan answered the phone in the corridor. After hanging up, she was about to go back to continue communicating with the designer when she saw someone standing at the end of the corridor.

It's Jiang De'an.

The moment Xu Wan saw Jiang De'an, her heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, the designer inside was male, otherwise she would have been ready to call the police at any moment.

"What's up?"

Xu Wan stood still, speaking to Jiang De'an while keeping her distance.

“Xu Wan, you should know that Melissa is working for me. She also told me some things about you and Ryan abroad.”

Jiang De'an spoke slowly, and his voice, like his appearance, did not reveal any obvious aggression.

However, the more he acted this way, the more Xu Wan would think of what happened at Tianwei's legal department and An Yunya, whom she had met before.

"President Jiang, I hope you understand that I am free. I don't need to report to any member of the Jiang family who I date or marry."

Xu Wan knew that it was both Jiang De'an and Melissa.

They had no idea that Ryan was Jiang Tingzhou.

Jiang De'an walked forward step by step.

Xu Wan instinctively stepped back, trying to keep her distance from him.

But the corridor is only that long.

Two or three steps behind Xu Wan was the end of the corridor. She reached out and opened the door next to her to make sure the designer could see her.

Jiang De'an walked towards Xu Wan step by step, stopping only when he was five steps away from her.

“Xu Wan, who you date is none of our business. Besides, we all know that Tingzhou loves you very much, and we, the Jiang family, all hope that you will be happy.”

Jiang De'an spoke in a kind tone, as if he were a genuine elder offering her blessings.

But then, the conversation shifted.

Jiang De'an continued, "However, a portion of Tingzhou's shares were given to you back then, and you have shares in Tianwei. If you remarry, these may become joint property of the couple. To prevent you from being deceived by men who have ulterior motives towards you, I suggest you transfer your shares to us."

"Transfer it to you?"

Jiang De'an nodded, his expression now turning somewhat unfriendly, and said to Xu Wan, "Yes, and they don't belong to you either."
