Jiang Yilai wanted to understand the case as quickly as possible and then asked Luo Chen to help her look up the information from that year.
Jiang Yilai had forgotten her appointment with Fu Nanxiao, who had prepared a surprise for her, and she was at a loss for what to do.
After Fu Nanxiao finished speaking and didn't hear a response, he asked worriedly, "Lai Lai, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"No," Jiang Yilai said cautiously, "It's just that I probably can't make it tonight."
Fu Nanxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you weren't feeling well. Is it something wrong with the law firm?"
"Yes, it's about a new case the law firm has taken on. The situation is a bit complicated, so we need to handle some important issues."
Jiang Yilai knew he didn't like her having contact with Luo Chen and didn't want him to be mentioned.
Anyway, we were just discussing the case, so I'll explain it to him later.
I thought Fu Nanxiao would be angry, but to my surprise, he chuckled softly.
“If it’s a matter for the law firm, then there’s nothing I can do. I know you’re a workaholic, and I don’t want to be a burden to you.”
Fu Nanxiao felt that today was an auspicious day for them to register their marriage. Although they didn't hold a grand banquet, they still wanted to celebrate properly today.
He felt disappointed when he heard that Jiang Yilai couldn't go, but he didn't want to be a stumbling block for her.
Even when Jiang Yilai was unwilling to go public, Fu Nanxiao knew that she wanted to rely on her own strength.
"You are not a burden to me. I'm sorry, I forgot first."
"No need to apologize. You can continue with your work. If it gets too late, I'll come pick you up. I'll go home and spend time with my child first."
If you didn't know better, you'd almost think Fu Nanxiao was a perfect family man.
Jiang Yilai felt a warm glow in her heart upon hearing this. "Okay, we'll contact you again later."
After hanging up the phone, both of them seemed lost in thought. Fu Nanxiao sighed and told Qi Yuheng to dismantle everything that had been prepared for the restaurant.
Qi Yuheng had spent two hours setting things up, so he was reluctant to take it all down. He asked in a low voice, "Boss, I think you could discuss it with your wife. Even if she comes a little later, that would be fine."
"That would only get in her way; it's unnecessary."
"But I think it's such a pity."
Fu Nanxiao's sharp gaze fell upon him, and Qi Yuheng lowered his head, not daring to say another word, and could only slink away in disgrace.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yilai's situation wasn't much better.
She felt uneasy holding her phone. Although Fu Nanxiao didn't show anything unusual, she seemed to sense his disappointment.
Looking at the ring on her finger, she knew today was the day they were to remarry.
Then she remembered that Fu Nanxiao had said he had given her a surprise that night, which must be related to this matter.
Suddenly she realized something, stood up abruptly, and dialed Luo Chen's number again.
Luo Chen was in a great mood when he received her call. Before she could reply, he said, "Attorney Jiang, you are too kind. I have received your message, but I was busy and didn't have time to reply."
Hearing this, Jiang Yilai swallowed back the words she was about to say. The other person was looking forward to their date tonight, but she called to cancel, which was somewhat hurtful.
Luo Chen added, "I know you must have a new case. Don't worry, as long as it's something I know, I'll investigate it thoroughly for you."
"Officer Luo, thank you so much for your help, but tonight..."
"I also had someone bring some of my family's treasured wines, and I also prepared some local specialties for the children. I'll give them to you when we meet tonight."
After hearing this, Jiang Yilai had given up her original idea.
