045
He Yuan brought his child to work. The two-year-old was noisy, babbling and running around in the quiet law firm.
Because He Yuan held the child for a lot of time, Jiang Yujin thought he wouldn't be able to walk on his own, but he didn't expect him to be able to talk.
Taking advantage of He Yuan's momentary inattention, she slipped out of his sight.
"It's dirty down there." Jiang Yujin's trouser leg was tugged, and he saw a child hiding under his desk, covering his mouth and shaking his head at him.
It's called Nunu, right? He Yuan often coaxes the child like that.
Jiang Yujin pulled the child out, patiently brushed the dust off his body, and led him out to find He Yuan, who was pacing anxiously.
"He hid under my desk, and it took me a long time to pull him out. I'll give him a bath when I have time, and make sure he doesn't wander off anymore. There's a lot of stuff in the law firm; it's not safe."
"Nunu, why are you hiding? The ground is so dirty, you can't crawl on it. Quickly say thank you to Uncle Jiang." He Yuan felt both sorry for and amused when he saw the child he hadn't seen for an hour.
Nunu's speech was still incoherent, and she tried to imitate him in broken sentences: "Thank you... thank you... Uncle Jiang." It was a difficult sentence for the child. After Nunu finished speaking, she whine to her father and asked to be carried, saying that she couldn't walk anymore. He Yuan felt sorry for the child and quickly picked her up and comforted her.
As expected of the child's father, Nunu fell asleep in his arms after playing until she was tired.
Jiang Yujin glanced at him casually, "Does childbirth hurt?" When he returned to China to take the college entrance examination, his older brother had a C-section. The baby was born smoothly, and after the initial contractions and the anesthesia wore off, there were no other symptoms.
He Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but he could answer the question Jiang Yujin had suddenly asked. “Nu Nu was very well-behaved and was born soon after. It was painful, of course.”
"Does Attorney Jiang have any plans to have children with her partner in the future?" He Yuan felt she had met the wrong person and only wanted to raise her child well.
"I don't know. I'm going back to organize the documents. The child is sleepy, why don't you take him for a nap?" Jiang Yujin remained calm and started to shoo people away.
As for the child, he didn't notice when he first came here. He only found out when he woke up and the child was gone.
I feel terrible.
In court, Jiang Yujin used what Liang Dongmo had found to turn the tables. Song Nan liked to use underhanded tricks, so he found someone to help him.
The court's verdict will be issued within the next three days; it's a done deal. Even the most experienced and top-notch lawyers are powerless in the face of solid and accurate evidence.
He Yuan successfully divorced her ex-husband and gained custody of her child.
In early November, the long and tedious lawsuit finally came to an end.
Song Nan was stripped of his custody rights and sentenced to ten years in prison.
He deserved it.
He Yuan's darkest two years are finally over, and he can now live a peaceful life with his child without fear.
Jiang Yujin's privately-run law firm gained some reputation in the industry after this small case. Song Nan was, after all, a deputy manager of a real estate company, and the lawyer's fees were not high. Within a few days, all sorts of omega rights protection cases came to their door, hoping that their law firm would take them on and seek justice for the omega community that had suffered injustice in society.
Jiang Yujin became truly busy. To avoid missing any important information, he personally visited the homes of his clients to connect with them, listen to their demands, and delegated the investigation to professionals.
He Yuan, holding his child, said he was going back to his hometown to see his parents and would likely not return to Beijing. He had been working at the law firm for a month, which had caused him a lot of disturbance.
"Thank you for taking care of me during this time, Attorney Jiang." He Yuan's hometown is not in the capital, and his parents are both registered in rural areas. He could only tell his parents about his divorce from Song Nan in person to avoid the two elderly people having to travel all the way to the capital.
"I'm sorry, Jiang Yujin. I used to be prejudiced against you, thinking that omegas shouldn't be so immature. I didn't break your water bottle on purpose in high school; I was trying to collect homework..."
Jiang Yujin, as an omega, did things that had nothing to do with omega; some people would believe he was an alpha or beta.
He Yuan suddenly left because he recognized Jiang Yujin and was afraid that he didn't really want to help. He was afraid that someone who promised to be with him for life could turn on him, not to mention that the two of them already had a grudge.
“I had forgotten, Mr. He. This is my job, so don’t worry about it.”
The exhaled hot air drifted into the air and disappeared.
The nights in the capital are too cold.
Jiang Yujin had no intention of catching up with him, and He Yuan's taxi arrived.
"Well... Attorney Jiang, the car's here, I'm leaving."
"Be careful on the road." Jiang Yujin, wearing his newly bought cotton-padded coat, wanted to get back indoors as soon as possible after dropping off the person and getting into a taxi, as the weather was getting colder and colder.
After handling a few minor cases that could be mediated, Jiang Yujin took some free time to go see Christmas. He desperately wanted a place to relax. After get off work, he was just himself.
When I arrived at the apartment door, I was about to knock when I bumped into Liang Dongmo coming out.
All told, apart from occasional phone calls, they hadn't seen each other for a month.
"Are you going out? Where are you going?" It's not working hours now.
"I came to find you. What a coincidence, you've arrived."
It was too cold outside, so the two didn't talk much. Liang Dongmo told him to go inside first.
Jiang Yujin's original intention for this trip was to see the cats. Liang Dongmo bought a ball of yarn for Christmas, and while the cat was playing with it, it got tangled in the yarn and kept meowing as if asking for help.
Jiang Yujin went to great lengths to help the cat escape the ball of yarn, and as a reward, Christmas snuggled comfortably in his arms, purring softly.
"Happy birthday, Xiao Jin." Liang Dongmo handed him a black box, which had no logo, so Jiang Yujin couldn't guess what it contained.
It was her birthday, and Jiang Yujin got so busy she forgot the time.
"Thank you." He wore a dark red tie, which suited him well while working at the law firm.
Judging by the material, it must have cost over five figures.
Jiang Yujin's birthday is also "Jiang Mo's" birthday; they were born on the same day.
Jiang Yujin received a birthday gift from Liang Dongmo, but she didn't have a gift to give to her.
The only time I said it was "Happy Birthday".
“Liang Dongmo, I don’t have a gift for you, but I’ll make it up to you later… is that alright?” Jiang Yujin had never given Liang Dongmo a proper gift; he was the one who received the gift.
How could Liang Dongmo not want a gift? Her gift came to her door, she was overjoyed.
"Sure, no rush. I'm already very happy that Ozu is willing to make it up to me."
It's been too long. Jiang Yujin, who stays in China and comes here from time to time, tells herself that she should be content.
"Happy birthday, Liang Dongmo." Jiang Yujin greeted her, holding the soft paw of a Christmas cat.
"Thank you. Can I have a hug?" Liang Dongmo needed a hug more than anything else.
Jiang Yujin, not understanding why, still briefly hugged Liang Dongmo.
"You did a great job."
Another year is about to pass, and she has almost participated in Jiang Yujin's growth for another year.
"Tell me if you encounter any problems you can't solve. Your safety is the most important thing, you know?"
The bodyguards sent to follow Jiang Yujin reported on Jiang Yujin's itinerary in detail, and Liang Dongmo could also keep track of his movements while attending company meetings.
"I will." Jiang Yujin was afraid of trouble, and would never investigate things himself if he could leave it to Liang Dongmo. What he needed to do was to hone his verbal skills, which was also a key point in winning a case in court.
Jiang Yujin had a peaceful birthday, but as the year drew to a close, he found himself with less and less to do.
With some free time, Jiang Yujin gave her house a thorough cleaning. Since returning from abroad, her habit of spending money had become more and more serious, and her wardrobe was piled high with clothes. She had put a few small green plants on the balcony to cultivate her mood, but they all died after a week, ruining Jiang Yujin's good mood.
Everyone at the law firm was given a long annual leave, and Jiang Yujin, the boss, even gave each of them a five-figure red envelope.
"I'm an intern at my family's company, starting from the bottom. I even have to go on business trips during the Chinese New Year. Do you know how hard it is for me!" Lu Anshi graduated, and his carefree life as a young master came to an end. He was immediately sent to work by his family. "It's kind of you to still remember me, Brother Jiang." He looked at the hot pot that Jiang Yujin had prepared, but could only look at it and not eat it, feeling extremely distressed.
"You've helped me a lot," Jiang Yujin said, washing the ingredients and waiting for Liang Dongmo to finish his work so they could celebrate the New Year together.
"It's not all bad news. My team leader is also working overtime and going on a business trip with me. She's an exceptionally beautiful omega. I'll win her over after the New Year!" Lu Anshi quickly adjusted himself and said confidently that he would win over his stunning team leader.
"I wish you success, Lu Anshi. I look forward to hearing good news from you."
The doorbell rang. Jiang Yujin chatted for a few minutes, then hung up the phone and went to open the door for Liang Dongmo.
"You've prepared all this?"
They have both meat and vegetarian options, and also red wine.
Liang Dongmo was not surprised that Jiang Yujin had prepared more food than two people could finish. "It's New Year's Eve today, Xiaojin, can I stay?"
"Whatever you want." We're sleeping in the guest room anyway.
After Jiang Yujin finished speaking, the room went dark, as if the power had gone out.
In the darkness, the alpha gripped his hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, let me see what's going on."
The capital city was plunged into darkness for a short time; the power would be restored in an hour.
Liang Dongmo used the flashlight on his phone to turn off the hot pot socket.
"Are you cold?" Without heating, the room instantly turned a degree colder. There were no spare candles, and Liang Dongmo held his hand; it was too cold.
"A little." Jiang Yujin put his down jacket back on. He was sensitive to cold and said he was going to go to the bedroom to get a blanket to cover himself with. The two of them shared the same blanket on the sofa. Their body temperatures slowly returned to normal, and the warmth from Liang Dongmo's palms made Jiang Yujin feel less cold.
Liang Dongmo took the initiative to kiss her, and Jiang Yujin did not refuse. Her warm, wet mouth opened, and she accepted the dizzying kiss.
Liang Dongmo saw that the omega's ears were bright red. They were both buried under the covers, and as soon as the light came on, he immediately closed his eyes, not daring to look at her. His eyelashes trembled nervously.
Jiang Yujin said, "The power's back on, let's continue eating." The power went out before they could eat much.
The snow came particularly late this year; it started to snow harder on the morning of the second day after New Year's Eve.
