On the day of the divorce, I became Qin Shao's darling.

Qin Jiamo smiled and straightened up.

He neither denied nor admitted it.

"Whether Junjun is my biological son or not, it has nothing to do with you, so don't come looking for Lin Xiwei again. Even a fool would know which to choose between us; why humiliate yourself further?"

After saying this, Qin Jiamo turned around and opened the car door.

But Su Yunfan was no longer calm. He stepped forward and patted the car window, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

"How could it be such a coincidence? With your background, why would you donate sperm? And why would we happen to use it? What makes you so sure Junjun is your son? Did you secretly have a paternity test done?"

Qin Jiamo rolled down the car window and began playing word games, "President Su, these are all your assumptions and guesses. I didn't say anything."

To get useful information out of a professional lawyer, you have to be willing to cooperate.

Qin Jiamo wanted him to know about this, but she had no evidence, which made him feel restless and anxious.

"Qin Jiamo, wait a minute! Explain yourself! Is Junjun really your son? The son I've raised with such care for three years is actually yours?"

Qin Jiamo smiled, rolled up the car window, and drove away.

"Qin Jiamo...stop right there! Explain yourself!" Su Yunfan chased after him for a couple of steps but couldn't catch up. Furious, he waved his hand in the air, yelling, "You bastard, you've gone too far!"

The son she had raised with such care turned out to be someone else's biological child, and was so easily taken away by that person.

Su Yunfan felt that this blow was even more serious than the company going bankrupt.

As Qin Jiamo drove away, she glanced at her rival in the rearview mirror, who was looking disheveled and furious, and a disdainful smile appeared on her face.

He took out his phone and sent Lin Xiwei a WeChat voice message.

"I just met Su Yunfan and gave him a little shock and a blow. I'm afraid he'll be resentful and wait for you downstairs at the company. Call me when you're done and I'll come pick you up."

He couldn't help but indulge in his words, which caused trouble for Lin Xiwei.

So I'll let you know in advance.

After listening to his voice message, Lin Xiwei frowned and pondered.

Did you give Su Yunfan a little setback? What do you mean?

However, in her rush to finish her work, she didn't ask any more questions and simply replied, "I understand."

Half an hour later, Qin Jiamo had just returned to the Quanyun Technology building after circling around when Lin Xiwei finished her phone call.

"Finished? You're quite punctual," Attorney Qin said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm about to go downstairs. Come and get me."

"I'm downstairs at your office."

"You've been waiting all this time?" Lin Xiwei asked in surprise.

"No, I just got back."

Lin Xiwei stepped out of the elevator, assuming Qin Jiamo would be waiting in his car, but he was right there at the company entrance.

Making a phone call.

Seeing Lin Xiwei walk out, he gestured with his eyes and continued communicating with the other end of the phone about work, but he had already caught up with Lin Xiwei's pace, standing two steps behind her.

Two colleagues were also getting off the elevator with her. Lin Xiwei didn't want her colleagues to recognize Qin Jiamo, so she deliberately quickened her pace.

Qin Jiamo frowned slightly and quickened his pace.

Lin Xiwei didn't know where the car was parked, so after rushing out of the automatic door, she stopped and looked back.

Qin Jiamo had just finished her call and put down her phone, saying irritably, "Why are you running? Who are you afraid of seeing you?"

He understands Lin Xiwei so well.

He saw right through her eagerness to distance herself from him and sever ties.

Lin Xiwei pursed her lips, feeling embarrassed, but secretly pointed with her finger, "Those two over there, on the same floor."

Qin Jiamo didn't even bother to look back.

"Are you planning to keep meeting me secretly like this from now on?"

"We'll talk about the future later. I just got divorced not long ago, and I'm afraid it will affect you."

"I don't care."

"I do care," Lin Xiwei said sincerely. "Your Qin family has a righteous family tradition and high prestige. You yourself also need to maintain a positive image. I don't want any gossip to ruin your reputation."

Qin Jiamo stopped in his tracks, his deep eyes fixed on her, a slow smile playing on his lips.

Looks like I'll have to treat everyone to lunch today.

After all, she was thinking of herself, and finally stopped being hesitant and evasive.

Lin Xiwei understood what he meant, but still said seriously, "No, that won't do. I promised to treat you, and you've been waiting for me for so long."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Qin Jiamo gestured with his hand and walked towards the Maybach parked by the roadside, opening the passenger door in a gentlemanly manner.

Looking at his dignified and elegant demeanor, Lin Xiwei couldn't help but become ladylike as well, "Thank you."

The scene of the two getting into the car was witnessed by a passing colleague, who quietly inquired, "The beautiful woman who just got into the Maybach looks like Lin Xiwei, who is new to the department."

"I saw it too. The man was tall and handsome, like a domineering CEO in a short drama. He had a very strong presence."

"Who is Lin Xiwei? I thought the Hermes bag she was carrying was a fake, but now it seems to be the real thing."

Lin Xiwei had no idea that despite her carefulness and attention, she still couldn't cover it up.

It was already 1:30 in the afternoon, and the two of them didn't want to think about what to eat, so they went to Uncle Meng's private kitchen again.

On the way, Lin Xiwei opened WeChat and remembered Qin Jiamo's words. She turned to ask, "What did you mean when you said that you met Su Yunfan and gave him a little shock and a blow?"

Qin Jiamo drove the car, a faint smile on his face. "I indirectly told him about Junjun's relationship with the Qin family, and he was very upset."

"Huh?" Lin Xiwei was surprised and worried. "Why did you tell him this? Aren't you afraid he'll tell everyone?"

The man remained calm and composed. "This matter will be made public sooner or later, so let him be. I just don't want him to keep using the child to pressure you—knowing that Junjun is of the Qin family bloodline will only make him hate you more."

Lin Xiwei didn't say anything, but she still felt uneasy.

Su Yunfan is petty and narrow-minded; he's capable of anything when pushed to the limit.

It's hard to say what might happen if they find out Junjun's true background and do something to hurt him.

Seeing that she remained silent, Qin Jiamo turned around and glanced at her, then immediately comforted her, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, Junjun is protected by the Qin family and won't be in any danger. Su Yunfan knows that the son she raised with such difficulty belongs to someone else, and she feels resentful. She won't think about remarrying you or fighting for custody anymore."

After thinking about it, Lin Xiwei realized that what he said made sense.

"Alright, like you said, we'll find out sooner or later anyway." Lin Xiwei felt relieved and stopped thinking about it.

Imagining Su Yunfan's expression when he found out about this, she felt quite relieved.

Su Yunfan had coerced and lured her into undergoing in vitro fertilization with donor sperm, saying he wanted her seriously ill mother to see her grandson born.

She suffered so much to give birth to this child, only to end up like this—now that Su Yunfan knows the child has been recognized by his family, it's as if she did all the work for someone else. He must be filled with regret, remorse, and rage.

This can be considered a form of retribution.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Uncle Meng's territory.

Uncle Meng was no longer surprised to see Lin Xiwei, and even joked, "I guess I'll be lucky enough to attend Jia Mo's wedding in my lifetime. It's really unexpected."

Lin Xiwei smiled shyly, glanced at Qin Jiamo, and remained silent.

Qin Jiamo was quite frank, saying, "If that day ever comes, Uncle Meng will definitely be there."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Sitting down in the private room, Lin Xiwei recalled his words, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you still planning to have a wedding?"

The Qin family is in mourning and should not hold any weddings within three years.

Qin Jiamo's expression turned slightly serious. "It's not very convenient, so you might have to make do."

"I'm not upset." Lin Xiwei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that a banquet wasn't necessary. "It's really not suitable right now, and I completely understand. Our priority now is Junjun's treatment; let's put everything else aside for now."

"Yes. Once Junjun's illness is cured and Yue Lang's mourning period is over, the wedding will still be held."

Although he wasn't one to make a big fuss, a wedding was the best way to announce it to the world and a basic sign of respect for the woman.

It still needs to be done.

During the meal, Qin Jiamo talked about the afternoon's arrangements.

"After you finish eating, come back to my place with me."

Lin Xiwei looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. "Go back to your side... for what?"

Qin Jiamo stared at her, but didn't answer at first.

But when their eyes met, Lin Xiwei sensed something in the depths of his unusually deep eyes.

Then, in a panic, she lowered her head to avoid eye contact.

Qin Jiamo gave a wicked smile and said in a serious tone, "Go back and pack your clothes. Didn't Junjun say he wanted to move his luggage over?"

Lin Xiwei kept her head down, but her ears began to burn.

She had just thought that Qin Jiamo was so eager to take her there to "do serious business" in broad daylight.

It turned out they were packing their luggage.

"Actually... there's no need to go to so much trouble. Greentown Villa is too far from your law firm, and it's inconvenient for you to live there. You can just pack a few clothes and stay at Greentown for a few days each month."

Lin Xiwei was too shy to look him in the eye when he said that, so she could only look down at the bowl in front of her.

Qin Jiamo's smile became even more alluring and seductive.

"Those few days of the month?" he asked deliberately.

But Lin Xiwei thought he really didn't understand, "It's just, ovulation period."

She had previously undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF) and knew a lot about it.

The chances of conception are high if intercourse occurs during ovulation.

He can't do it during his period, and the safe period is useless, so there's no need for him to live in Greentown Villa every day and have to cross almost half the city to get to work.

Qin Jiamo smiled but remained silent.

Lin Xiwei glanced at him. "What are you laughing at?"

"You really do treat me like a baby-making machine."

Lin Xiwei frowned.

This is usually said by the woman.

It sounds strange coming from a man.

"What you said is not right," Lin Xiwei said weakly, suppressing a laugh.

Qin Jiamo picked up his cup to drink some water, raising an eyebrow at her with curiosity: "What's wrong?"

Lin Xiwei said quietly, "You are at most a seed-planting machine; I am the birthing machine."

"Pfft—" Before he could finish speaking, Attorney Qin spat out a mouthful of water.

Lin Xiwei was startled and sat up, staring at him and unable to hold back her laughter.

"Is it really necessary to react so strongly?" she teased, taking the initiative.

"Cough, cough—"
