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

"Yes," came Madam Qin's voice. "The branch office in another city is having its annual meeting, and as the boss, he has to go there. He'll be back tomorrow."

Lin Xiwei was surprised.

This guy is going on a business trip, but he hasn't mentioned it at all. We chatted via video last night, and the two of us contacted each other today, but he didn't reveal a single word.

Ah!

She suddenly realized that this person was deliberately imitating her!

Lin Xiwei wanted to ask him where he had gone on his business trip, but she was too embarrassed to ask, so she changed the subject and just chatted with her son.

Qin Jiamo wasn't home, and her biggest worry was that the two elderly people would have a hard time taking care of the child at night. But Old Madam Qin reassured her repeatedly, saying that there were many people in the family and there would always be a way, and told her not to worry.

After finishing the video chat, Lin Xiwei thought it over and over, and finally sent a WeChat message to Qin Jiamo.

[You're away on a business trip.]

I initially wanted to use a question, but then it felt insincere, since I already knew the truth about it.

At this moment, Qin Jiamo was attending the branch company's annual meeting at a club in Guangcheng.

The Guangcheng branch is the largest branch besides the Jiangcheng headquarters, with nearly 300 employees in the entire law firm.

Qin Jiamo, as one of the partners, personally attended the annual meeting, which is also an affirmation of the branch's performance.

During the meal, he was surrounded by toasts and drinks, and had no time to check his phone.

Lin Xiwei waited until she finished washing up and was about to go to bed, but there was still no response on WeChat.

It's almost 11 o'clock, what is he busy with on his business trip?

At first, I was puzzled, and then I couldn't help but let my mind wander.

What if something goes wrong?

Once this thought arises, it's impossible to suppress it.

Lin Xiwei waited patiently for another ten minutes, but when the person still hadn't replied, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number.

At this moment, Qin Jiamo had just left the club.

A group of people escorted him to his car, showering him with compliments and pleasantries. Just then, his phone rang, giving him a chance to escape.

"I have a phone call, so I'll say goodbye now. I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance." After saying goodbye to the senior executives, Qin Jiamo got into the car, and Han Rui also turned around and got into the car.

Seeing the names flashing on the screen, Qin Jiamo didn't rush to answer the call.

Han Rui turned around and asked, "Boss, are we going to Shenzhen now?"

"Okay, let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jiamo loosened his tie with one hand and slowly swiped his phone screen with the other.

"Feed..."

Lin Xiwei grew increasingly anxious as no one answered the phone, fearing that something had truly happened to him.

Finally hearing that familiar voice, she was both excited and worried, and blurted out, "Are you alright? Why didn't you reply to my messages and why were you so late answering the phone?"

Qin Jiamo raised an eyebrow. "You sent me a WeChat message?"

"Yes, two hours ago."

"I'm too busy to check my phone tonight because of the branch office's annual meeting."

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Xiwei breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you're alright. I was worried you might have run into some trouble on your business trip."

Qin Jiamo noticed that her tone had relaxed, and his expression softened accordingly.

Are you worried about me?

These words made Lin Xiwei pause, her lips tightening.

When I hadn't heard from him for a while, I was really worried about him. My mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts, and my heart was pounding.

Is it really okay to just admit that you care about him?

Lin Xiwei didn't answer, but instead looked at Huanhuan on the bed next to her.

Huanhuan finished washing up and went online to play games with her friends. She was so engrossed in the mobile game battles that she didn't pay attention to anything else.

But Lin Xiwei still got up, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and left the room.

There are windows on the other side of the emergency exit, offering a view of the bustling and dazzling night scene.

Lin Xiwei stood by the window, her words already prepared in her mind: "Of course I'm worried about you. If something happens to you, who will I find to have a baby to save Junjun?"

Upon hearing the first sentence, Qin Jiamo thought that she had finally come to her senses and dared to admit her feelings.

Before she could even feel happy, she added the next sentence.

"Lin Xiwei, you know how to make me angry." He said through gritted teeth.

"How did I upset you? It's all the truth." Lin Xiwei admired the lights of Shenzhen, and was in a fairly good mood.

"So you're using me as a tool now?"

"Didn't you, Attorney Qin, suggest being a tool?" Lin Xiwei asked back with ease.

Qin Jiamo held her phone and turned to look out the car window.

The car was already on the highway, speeding along.

If there's no traffic, he'll arrive in Shenzhen in an hour.

This woman knew nothing, and taking advantage of the fact that the emperor was far away, she deliberately offended him several times.

Qin Jiamo smiled, already planning how to "teach her a lesson" when they met later.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Xiwei's smile faded slightly. "What's wrong? You're angry because I was just joking? No matter what, I'm very grateful to you. You are the greatest benefactor to my son and me."

Lin Xiwei is just that soft-hearted.

Seeing that the other side was silent, she immediately started to coax them.

There was nothing she could do; Qin Jiamo had indeed helped her far too much.

Moreover, this man has now taken up residence in her heart.

She was even more reluctant to upset him.

Qin Jiamo said arrogantly, "I'm not that petty."

"That's right, Attorney Qin has a heart as vast as a prime minister's."

Qin Jiamo was amused by her adaptable and resilient demeanor. "I noticed that your mood has changed a lot since you went on your business trip. You've become more cheerful."

"Perhaps. Shenzhen has a good climate; even in winter, it's like springtime. The sun shines brightly every day, which does make people feel relaxed," Lin Xiwei said in a light tone.

Qin Jiamo listened to her words and looked at the flowers blooming brightly in the median strip of the highway, and wholeheartedly agreed.

"Indeed, the scenery here is lush and green, completely different from that in the north."

"Over here?" Lin Xiwei was a little confused by his choice of words and asked curiously, "Your job often requires you to travel for work, so you must have been to Shenzhen before, right?"

"Yes, I'll come often. I'll be there in a bit," Qin Jiamo said casually.

Lin Xiwei was extremely shocked.

What does "I'll be there in a bit" mean?

She paused, then asked uncertainly, "What did you just say?"

Qin Jiamo imagined her expression right now, his mouth almost stretched to the back of his ears, "I said, I often go to Shenzhen, I'll go there later too."

Lin Xiwei was instantly furious!

"You, you—" she stammered, then suddenly realized, "So you're in Shenzhen on a business trip today?"

"No, I was on a business trip in Guangcheng to attend the branch company's annual meeting. The meeting is over now, and I'm on the highway to Shenzhen."

Qin Jiamo explained, her smile never fading.

The emotions that were previously suppressed now surged like a rollercoaster, soaring to the heavens as the machine started.

A high-speed train sped past on the railway track parallel to the highway. He frowned slightly, momentarily regretting his decision—he should have taken the high-speed train; it would have been faster.

Han Rui also saw the Fuxing bullet train flying by. He glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror and said, "There are high-speed trains running between Guangzhou and Shenzhen late at night. Actually, it's faster for us to take the high-speed train, so the boss can see Miss Lin sooner."
