Jiang Tingzhou knew that Xu Wan probably had no way to find him, and that he had driven his newly bought car here specifically because he knew she was coming to court today.
Xu Wan said apologetically, "I need to go back to the law firm to put some things away before I can leave work."
"Then I'll take you."
Jiang Tingzhou walked to the car, opened the passenger door for Xu Wan, watched her get in, and then went around to the driver's seat to sit down.
Before driving off, Xu Wan said, "Jiang... Jiang Tingzhou, could you please leave me your phone number? I'm afraid I'll forget it when I get off the car."
"good."
Jiang Tingzhou gave Xu Wan his phone number.
After the woman carefully took notes and called back, he asked, "Your memory doesn't seem to be very good."
Xu Wan blushed, "No, I have a very good memory."
"That's because I'm too busy with work, often stay up late, and don't eat on time, causing my body to rebel in this way." Jiang Tingzhou slowly started the car.
The man was describing Xu Wan's recent daily routine.
Although Xu Wan has already taken on a case independently, she still has many other tasks to complete, such as organizing case files and writing legal documents.
In order to ensure that no task is delayed, Xu Wan often works overtime at the company until 10 p.m., and after catching the last subway home, she is busy until 2 or 3 a.m.
Meals are even more unpredictable.
Sometimes when I finally think about eating, the takeout I ordered is already cold.
To avoid worrying her family, Xu Wan has always been accustomed to swallowing her bitterness. "It's alright, I'm not that busy."
Jiang Tingzhou glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and saw that the girl was lying, but he didn't call her out on it.
He said, "Open that front drawer."
Xu Wan did as instructed.
There was nothing in the drawer except for a white folder.
"That folder contains my medical examination report from two months ago."
"Medical examination report?"
Jiang Tingzhou said, "You are not familiar with me, and getting to know each other will take a long time. Why don't we start with something easy to understand?"
Medical examination reports are considered very private documents. In the past, when the company organized medical examinations, they were always sealed when distributed to everyone.
"this……"
"If you get carsick, don't watch it. I'll keep it at home, and you can watch it slowly after we move in together."
"Jiang Tingzhou, um... can I move into your house as soon as possible?"
Xu Wan continued speaking, following Jiang Tingzhou's lead.
She said that if she got the marriage certificate but still lived at home, it would definitely arouse her uncle's suspicion.
If they have a conflict, it will only worry Grandma.
"Of course, as soon as possible is fine. If you're in a hurry, tonight is also fine."
In the past three or four days, Jiang Tingzhou's assistant has already bought a house and replaced all the furniture with brand new ones.
They were just waiting for Xu Wan, the lady of the house, to move in.
“I haven’t told my grandma about our marriage yet. I’ve only mentioned before that I have a boyfriend with whom I have a stable relationship.” Xu Wan glanced at Jiang Tingzhou out of the corner of her eye. “When do you have time? Could you come with me to meet my grandma?”
“I had thought about visiting your family beforehand, and I bought some gifts and put them in the trunk. You can decide the timing, and I will adjust my schedule to accommodate you.”
Jiang Tingzhou spoke casually, as if he were talking about everyday matters.
Xu Wan felt a warmth in her heart.
She took her phone out of her pocket. "Maybe I should ask Grandma now, but if I do, she'll definitely choose today."
“Let’s do it today then,” Jiang Tingzhou readily agreed.
Xu Wan dialed her grandmother's number. She didn't dare to tell her directly about getting her marriage certificate with Jiang Tingzhou, but only said that she was bringing her boyfriend back home.
Grandma was beaming on the phone, "Okay, what time are you coming? I'm going out to buy groceries. What does he like to eat? Can he eat spicy food?"
Xu Wan couldn't answer any of these questions.
She glanced awkwardly at Jiang Tingzhou and simply said, "Grandma, please wait for us at home. Let's go out for dinner together later."
"Then I'll buy some fruit. Come back early and be careful on the road."
Xu Wan held the phone, hesitated for a long time before asking, "Grandma, is Uncle home?"
