The room was dimly lit, and the man's tie was black with a subtle pattern, so she couldn't see the design or the expression on his face. The atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
"What's it for?"
As Xu Wan spoke, she could feel her face getting slightly hot.
The man said, "Close your eyes."
Xu Wan obediently did as instructed.
The next second, the tie that the man had flattened was pressed against her face, its silky texture and slightly cool, completely blocking her vision.
"What is this for?"
As Xu Wan spoke, the man had already tied the side of her tie.
The man didn't answer her question, but instead pressed down on her shoulders, gesturing for her to lie down.
Xu Wan obediently did as instructed.
Because of the tie, Xu Wan could no longer see anything.
She could only feel the man's body pressing down on her, caressing her earlobe.
“I’ve heard that when a person can’t see, their senses become more acute,” the man’s voice whispered in her ear. “Close your eyes and feel me. I may not be as young as some of those people, but I care more about your feelings, and… no one can bring you more pleasure in this regard than I can.”
Xu Wan's cheeks turned bright red.
She was even glad she wore the blindfold, hiding her shyness like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
As the man finished speaking, a series of delicate kisses followed.
The night was exceptionally quiet. Xu Wan's gaze was blocked by the black tie. She could feel the man's calloused fingertips passing through her fingers, interlocking with hers, and feeling delicate kisses landing on the spot closest to her heart.
With the eyes covered, everything becomes more real.
So much so that she didn't know when the lovemaking ended or when she fell asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already broad daylight, and the black tie still blocked the sunlight for her like an eye mask.
When Xu Wan sat up, she realized that her body was sore.
She loosened her tie, picked up her phone, and glanced at the time. It was already 8:30 in the morning!
Xu Wan quickly jumped off the bed, but because her legs were so sore, she staggered before regaining her balance.
She didn't care about anything else, put on her clothes and left the room. When she saw Xu Pingrong, she couldn't help but say, "Mom, next time if I oversleep, please wake me up."
"It was my son-in-law who said you worked very late yesterday and were too tired, so he wanted you to get some more sleep," Xu Pingrong said.
Xu Wan knew exactly what the man meant, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Xu Pingrong believed him and advised, "Daughter, work is important, but your health is more important. If you ruin your health by staying up all night, no matter how much money you earn, it will all end up in the hospital. In any case, try to go to bed before midnight from now on and don't stay up late, understand?"
Xu Wan nodded, blushing, "I understand."
Xu Pingrong continued, "You should still make a schedule. It's inconvenient for me to go in in the morning since you and your son-in-law are sharing a room."
"Okay, I will."
Xu Wan was so embarrassed that she couldn't even speak.
She tidied her clothes, not even bothering to eat breakfast, grabbed a piece of toast, and went out.

When Xu Wan arrived at the law firm, Cheng Xue was already there.
The girl's appearance had changed a lot since her first visit. She was wearing a plain blue sweater and jeans, with a dark coat over them, making her look much more simple and unpretentious.
"Sorry, I stayed up late last night and woke up late."
After Xu Wan came in, she kept apologizing to Cheng Xue.
Cheng Xue shook her head: "It's okay, I just arrived too."
Xu Wan looked at Cheng Xue, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Wait for me, I'm going to find someone."
She called Su Qiong on the internal line to confirm that she was in her office and was currently alright. Then she told Cheng Xue to wait outside and went to Su Qiong's office herself.
Xu Wan has performed exceptionally well during the year or so that she has rarely encountered a case that is too difficult for her to handle.
When Su Qiong spoke up this time, she knew it must be a tricky case.
Su Qiong took a sip of coffee and asked, "Speak, what case is it?"
Xu Wan explained Cheng Xue's family situation.
Su Qiong listened very attentively, and only after confirming that Xu Wan had finished speaking did she say, "Call her in, I'll ask her carefully."
