Xu Wan looked around and saw that her colleagues were all busy with their own things. She then whispered, "I've been at the law firm for a year and I've barely spoken more than twenty sentences to Attorney Yuan. Given our relationship, if we have too much contact, won't people think we're openly showing affection?"
"Is saying something considered showing affection?" Jiang Tingzhou nodded. "I understand. I'll contact you again after get off work."
After finishing speaking, the man placed the organized documents on the table and turned to leave.
Xu Wan watched the man's retreating figure and vaguely felt that she had gone too far just now, so she quickly took out her phone and sent a message.
Xu Wan: [I'm sorry, it's just that it's your first day at the law firm, and I'm a little unsettled.]
The message received no response.
When it was time to leave work, Xu Wan packed her things immediately and waited for Jiang Tingzhou to come out.
Her colleagues left one after another, and when she was the only one left in the entire office area, Jiang Tingzhou still hadn't come out.
After much hesitation, Xu Wan went to Jiang Tingzhou's office.
She stood at the door, about to knock, when the door opened first.
The person who opened the door was Jiang Tingzhou, but the man didn't say anything and turned back to his office.
Xu Wan glanced around the office to make sure no one was inside before going in.
As she approached, Jiang Tingzhou picked up a stack of sticky notes and began handing them to Xu Wan one by one.
There were words written on each one.
So you know to come looking for me?
I see many elite lawyers in the firm; they are all young and promising.
Compared to them, I'm definitely too old.
Sigh, I can change a lot of things with effort, except for age...
If you don't want to see me, then I won't come to the law firm anymore.
After reading all the sticky notes, Xu Wan covered her mouth and laughed nonstop.
She looked up at Jiang Tingzhou and said, "Are you thirty-one or thirteen? Even the elementary school student I teach isn't as childish as you."
Jiang Tingzhou took a new notepad, wrote a few words on it, and handed it to Xu Wan.
Xu Wan glanced at the sign that read: 【Talking counts as showing affection.】
"That's because you're new to the firm, and I'm a little embarrassed too." Xu Wan walked a few steps to Jiang Tingzhou, cupped the man's face, and said, "Which lawyer who can get into Tianyuan isn't young and promising? But they are my colleagues, and you are the best to me."
A faint smile played on Jiang Tingzhou's lips.
How could he really be angry with Xu Wan?
He picked up a sticky note and was about to write something when Xu Wan quickly snatched the note and pen away. "Don't write anymore. If you write one more, don't talk to me anymore."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Tingzhou immediately retorted, "And what about you?"
Xu Wan realized that the man had gone through all this trouble just to hear those words.
"Then I won't write it either. But you're a partner, and I'm just an intern lawyer. I don't want people to think I got promoted because of you..."
Xu Wan herself has a bachelor's degree, and people had previously mistakenly thought that she got in through connections.
She has made great progress at work recently, and the results of several lawsuits she has handled have been good.
Now that Jiang Tingzhou has been parachuted into the law firm as a partner, she doesn't want her efforts to be seen as relying on a man.
Jiang Tingzhou then understood what the woman was thinking. He put his arm around the woman in front of him and gently kissed her forehead. "Don't worry, I didn't quit my job at Tianwei. Old Yuan persuaded me to come here. It's just a nominal position, and I won't be here often."
"I won't be here often..."
"What's wrong? Feeling a little disappointed?" Jiang Tingzhou's dark eyes reflected the woman's features as he said, "Then let me know when you want to see me, and I'll make time to come over during that period."
Although the two of them were in Jiang Tingzhou's office, which was still a law firm, the place was still there.
Xu Wan was very shy and struggled to get out of the man's arms, deliberately changing the subject, "Are you hungry? I promised to treat you to dinner, what do you want to eat?"
"Since you said you like spicy food lately, Ziyu recommended a Hunan restaurant to me last time, I'll take you there."
Jiang Tingzhou didn't have many preferences when it came to food; he always put Xu Wan first.
Xu Wan was naturally willing.
Jiang Tingzhou drove and soon arrived at the restaurant.
This restaurant doesn't have many customers because of its high prices.
The two people had just gotten off the bus...
A stone flew in from who knows where.
"careful!"
The moment Jiang Tingzhou caught a glimpse of the stone out of the corner of his eye, he instinctively shielded Xu Wan behind him.
