Xu Wan was stunned for a moment before realizing why the man would ask that question.

She laughed and said, "What are you thinking? Tongtong brought me here, and Xiaoxiao came too."

"Is that so?" Jiang Tingzhou stroked the woman's hand and said gently, "Actually, sometimes I'm very glad that I chose to return to China on that day so that I could meet you. If I had waited until after my leg surgery to see you, you might have already chosen someone else. At that time, no matter how much I gained, it might have felt meaningless."

Jiang Tingzhou knew very well that someone as outstanding as Xu Wan would have many suitors.

Many decisions are made in a single thought.

"Is that all?" Xu Wan asked.

Jiang Tingzhou paused for a moment, then said seriously, "I also have to thank you for pushing me that day, otherwise..."

Xu Wan pushed Jiang Tingzhou's wheelchair toward a table and chairs with the best view, saying as they walked, "So, actually, you're the coward."

"yes."

Jiang Tingzhou made no attempt to deny it.

When it comes to recognizing Xu Wan, he's the real coward.

As lunch was drawing to a close, Jiang Tingzhou asked, "How's the law firm's renovation going? After that designer breached the contract, have you found a new one?"

“We haven’t found a suitable one yet,” Xu Wan sighed. “The main problem is that your house is an old house, which requires an experienced team to design and start construction. Otherwise, I’m afraid they might collapse the house halfway through the renovation.”

Jiang Tingzhou said, "When I bought this house, the previous owner introduced me to a team. Do you need me to help you get in touch with them?"

"You have it?" Xu Wan was both surprised and delighted. "You don't need to help me contact them. Just give me their contact information and I'll contact them myself."

Jiang Tingzhou sent his contact information to Xu Wan and then said, "I'll contact him first. If he's in Beicheng, we can go and talk to him in person this afternoon. Tell him your ideas. He should have participated in the renovation of this house before, so he's quite experienced."

"Okay." After agreeing, Xu Wan couldn't help but complain, "You didn't tell me you had such good connections before, and I had to look for them myself for so long."

Jiang Tingzhou had actually forgotten about it before.

I only remembered this when we were talking about the designer's breach of contract late this evening.

However, Jiang Tingzhou didn't explain much, only saying, "To express my apology, I'll contact him now."

Jiang Tingzhou found the number in his contacts and dialed it.

Coincidentally, the designer was in Beicheng and happened to be free that afternoon.

The three arranged to meet at the law firm.

After having dinner, the two went straight to the law firm, where the designer was already there.

As soon as the designer entered the courtyard, he couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect the magnolias in the garden to still be blooming so beautifully. It seems that this house has chosen the right owner."

The three went upstairs.

Xu Wan already had a design idea for how to arrange the law firm.

I had said this to the previous designer before, and now I'm repeating it to the new designer.

Before Xu Wan could respond, Jiang Tingzhou asked, "My office is so far from yours?"

Xu Wan paused for a moment, then explained, "I think you'll really like the office at the end of the second floor, so I'll leave it to you. The other offices that are closer together are all quite small and not really suitable."

After the law firm opens, Xu Wan, as a partner, will definitely need a small meeting area in her office.

Because this house is an old house, each room is square and not very large. Only two rooms are suitable as offices.

Jiang Tingzhou knew the layout of the house very well and was aware of the difficulties of renovation. He said, "Then I'll just choose the smaller one next door. As long as it's close to you, it doesn't matter."

"But there's only room for one desk in there."

Is there anything else needed for the office?

"...How about I go next door?"

"No need, this matter is settled."

After discussing it for a long time, the two decided to design both rooms as offices, and they would decide later which one each would use.

Once the office space was finalized, the design of the other parts of the law firm was relatively easy to plan.

The designer promised to produce three versions of the design within a week, but they might come to measure the area and confirm the site conditions at any time next week.

Xu Wan didn't have a spare key with her. She had arranged to meet the designer here on Monday, so she gave him the key.

-

Monday morning.

After the couple took Xiaoxiao to kindergarten, Jiang Tingzhou went to Shenghe Hospital for rehabilitation treatment.

Xu Wan then went to the law firm to deliver the keys to the designer.

After receiving the key, the designer originally intended to share his initial ideas with Xu Wan.

Xu Wan's cell phone rang in her pocket.

It was an unfamiliar number.

She hesitated for a moment, but then answered the call.

"Is this Xu Wan? This is An Yunya. Where are you now? I need to see you, right away." An Yunya's voice came from the phone, very low, and you could even hear the nervousness in her tone.
