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

"6:15? That early?" Lin Xiwei exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, it takes an hour to get to the high-speed rail station from here. I'm worried about getting stuck in traffic and being delayed, so let's go there as soon as possible."

Lin Xiwei calculated the time and couldn't help but complain, "That means I can only sleep for four hours. My dark circles are really going to turn into panda eyes."

She laughed at herself.

"Don't worry, I don't mind." Qin Jiamo was in a good mood and comforted her with a smile, "I'll sleep on the high-speed train tomorrow, the business class is very spacious."

That's all we can do. Getting home is the priority.

Lin Xiwei glanced at him, her voice filled with concern: "Alright, I'm going up now. You should go back and rest too; you've been working non-stop all day."

Qin Jiamo squeezed her hand. "You know how to care for others, that's good."

She glanced sideways, too shy to respond, and got out of the car.

Upon hearing the door open, Han Rui immediately turned around and nodded and smiled at Lin Xiwei.

Lin Xiwei blushed and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Han," before rushing into the hotel.

As Lin Xiwei walked past the hotel reception towards the elevator lobby, she clearly felt the strange looks the staff were giving her, probably mistaking her for the rich man's mistress.

She lowered her head and quickened her pace, continuing to grumble about Qin Jiamo in her heart.

Lin Xiwei tiptoed as she opened the room door.

To my surprise, when I went inside, Huanhuan was still playing games.

She was taken aback: "It's two in the morning, aren't you asleep yet?"

Huanhuan yawned and said in a muffled voice, "I'm getting ready to sleep. I thought you weren't coming back tonight."

"How could that be? I came back right after dinner."

"Hehe, looks like you didn't like it." Huanhuan teased with a mischievous smile.

Lin Xiwei smiled and didn't reply.

I have my eye on him, but he's a gentleman, not a lecher.

Since Huanhuan was still awake, Lin Xiwei took the opportunity to pack her luggage so as not to wake her up the next morning.

"Huanhuan, I changed my train ticket. There's an emergency at home, and I have to leave first thing tomorrow morning."

Huanhuan was surprised: "How early tomorrow? You bought the train ticket?"

"Yeah, I bought a ticket for the 8 o'clock train. I got lucky and snagged a bargain." Lin Xiwei didn't want to say any more, so she continued to lie.

"Did you tell Manager Feng?"

"It's too late, I'll tell him on WeChat tomorrow morning."

Huanhuan put down her phone, ready to go to sleep. "Okay, then be careful on the road. I won't say goodbye to you tomorrow morning."

"Okay, you go to sleep. I'll wash my face and leave tomorrow morning, and I'll try not to wake you."

Lin Xiwei busied herself and quickly packed her luggage.

She had already showered before leaving the house, and since she was only going to sleep for four hours, there was no need for her to shower again.

But she needed to wash her face and brush her teeth, so she tiptoed into the bathroom and closed the door.

While brushing my teeth, I inevitably think of that kiss in the car.

Sure enough, being in a foreign place without any pressure made me act more recklessly.

They were actually sitting in the car, which was parked right in front of the hotel, while Han's assistant stood guard outside. Inside the car, they were kissing passionately.

Looking back now, Lin Xiwei doesn't know how she had the courage to do such a thing.

Even after four years of marriage with Su Yunfan, we had never been this passionate and unrestrained.

Moreover, Qin Jiamo came over so late and didn't invite her to stay with him—was it just for a meal and a kiss?

Lin Xiwei's mind was a jumble of thoughts, but she wasn't as flustered and nervous as before; instead, she felt an indescribable shyness and fluttering in her heart.

It was already 2:30 a.m. when I lay down in bed.

Qin Jiamo hadn't returned to the hotel yet; there were no messages on WeChat, so she didn't feel comfortable asking.

I was so sleepy and tired, all I wanted to do was fall asleep quickly, but my mind was unusually active. My eyes were closed, but my mind was wide awake.

One moment she was thinking about Qin Jiamo's kiss, the next she was thinking about how the two of them would live together after they went back.

After that, I don't know when I fell asleep, but I started dreaming, and it was a wet dream.

This time, the man in my dream showed his face clearly.

That's Qin Jiamo.

Moreover, the content of the dream was very explicit and bold; the location of the erotic dream was not at home or in bed, but in a car.

They were making love passionately in the car, while Assistant Han remained outside "on guard."

The passion in my dream hadn't ended when my phone alarm went off.

She woke up with a start, pulled her phone from under her pillow, and saw it was six o'clock.

I glanced back at Huanhuan; she was still fast asleep.

To avoid waking anyone, Lin Xiwei didn't turn on the lights, only using her phone as a light, and went to the bathroom to quickly wash her face and brush her teeth.

It wasn't over yet when a message from Qin Jiamo came through WeChat.

[We're almost at the hotel, are you up yet?]

[Almost done, will be downstairs soon.]

She didn't even go to the restroom, hurriedly dragged her luggage, and gently closed the door.

While in the elevator, she applied some lipstick in front of the mirror to brighten her complexion.

Actually, she wasn't such a meticulous person before; she used to think about how to look presentable when going out to meet people.

It's probably true that women dress up for those they want to please.

Just as Lin Xiwei stepped out of the hotel's revolving door, Qin Jiamo's luxury car arrived.

Han Rui got out of the car. "Good morning, Miss Lin."

"Good morning, thank you for your hard work." Lin Xiwei handed over the suitcase and got into the car first.

When Qin Jiamo saw her, a slight smile appeared on his handsome face.

"It's gotten colder in Shenzhen today too, aren't you cold wearing so little?"

Lin Xiwei looked at her clothes; she was only wearing two pieces.

"It's alright, I can just put on my down jacket when I get off the high-speed train at noon."

Han Rui got back into the car and soon set off.

Qin Jiamo silently reached out again and took Lin Xiwei's hand in his palm.

The two were in great sync this time.

"Are you hungry? If you are, we can go to a breakfast shop and get some food to go. If you're not hungry, we can eat at the high-speed rail station or on the train."

After taking her hand, the man stroked the back of her hand with his thumb and asked in a low voice.

Lin Xiwei shook her head. "I'm not hungry, and I don't have an appetite right now."

I didn't sleep well, I'm sleepy, and I just want to keep dozing off.

"We'll talk when we're hungry," Qin Jiamo replied. Seeing her yawn, he simply lifted his arm and pulled her into his embrace. "If you're sleepy, keep sleeping. I'll wake you when we get there."

Lin Xiwei was still a little uncomfortable.

The two did not officially establish a romantic relationship; they simply collaborated because they shared the same goal.

That partnership only required them to share a room at specific times; the rest of the time they could live like complete strangers, each going their own way.

But now, they are as intimate as a couple.

This terrified her, yet also captivated her.

Qin Jiamo didn't give her a chance to refuse. He pressed her down with his arm, and Lin Xiwei leaned into his arms.

She really wanted to sleep, but with her ear pressed against his chest, she could clearly hear his heartbeat.

"Bang, bang, bang," each sound was powerful.

And his scent was unlike that of men who smoke and drink all year round, which smelled foul. Instead, it was a clean, refreshing, noble, and substantial aura.

Lin Xiwei's heart raced, and she felt a little flustered.

Even though my eyes are closed, I can't fall asleep.

Qin Jiamo, smelling her hair and the subtle, distinct scent of her body, was equally captivated.

He glanced down at her and saw her eyelashes trembling. He understood what was happening and asked softly, "Can't you sleep?"

"No," Lin Xiwei's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm and said in a low voice, "It's just that your heartbeat is a little... loud."

The man laughed, "There's nothing I can do about it; you can't stop him from beating."

Lin Xiwei: "..."

"Did you sleep well last night?" Qin Jiamo continued chatting with her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiwei closed her eyes and felt shy.

I already sleep for short periods, and then I had nothing but wet dreams.

Having a wet dream is one thing, but to dream about being in a car is another.

At that moment, they were in the car, leaning so intimately against each other.

"I slept well. I was too tired last night, so I went upstairs and fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed." Lin Xiwei replied in a low, indistinct voice, still with her eyes closed, lying again.

Qin Jiamo lowered his head, and his warm breath touched her forehead as he spoke.

"I had insomnia last night and didn't sleep much."

Lin Xiwei looked up from his embrace. "Why?"

He stared into the woman's large, bright, and alluring eyes, which made him want to seal them with a kiss.

"Why do you think that is?"

Lin Xiwei didn't have the courage to meet his gaze, so she immediately lowered her head and muttered retortly, "How would I know? I'm not a mind reader."

Actually, Qin Jiamo's question made her guess the reason.

It must have been her attitude yesterday that stirred something within him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kissed her so eagerly in the car.

The thought that she wasn't the only one whose mind was in turmoil last night secretly pleased Lin Xiwei.

Qin Jiamo saw the slight curve of her lips and seemed to understand something; his thin lips also curved slightly upwards.

The two didn't speak again. Lin Xiwei listened to his strong, rumbling heartbeat and eventually fell asleep.

What's amazing is that after falling asleep, she continued the unfinished dream from the previous night, making it even more vivid.

After all, they were actually in the car at that moment, and they were huddled together.

……

The journey went smoothly, and they arrived at the high-speed rail station at 7:30.

When Qin Jiamo woke Lin Xiwei up, she was startled from her dream and opened her eyes with a few indescribable emotions still lingering on her face.

Qin Jiamo asked, "Did you have a dream? What did you dream about?"

Before Lin Xiwei could even speak, her cheeks flushed.

"I don't remember... I think I dreamt about Junjun." She casually changed the subject.

Qin Jiamo comforted her, "We'll be able to go back and see each other by noon."

"Um."

They got off the bus, each pushing their own suitcase.

Han Rui spoke with a young man in a suit, and then the man drove away.

Lin Xiwei glanced at it and casually asked out of curiosity, "Does your law firm have a branch here?"

Qin Jiamo said, "There's an office in Shenzhen, under the jurisdiction of Guangcheng Police Station. This car belongs to a boss at Guangcheng Police Station; he had someone drive it back."

"Oh." Lin Xiwei nodded, thinking to herself that his law firm's business was truly enormous.

On the high-speed train back to Jiangcheng, Lin Xiwei continued to sleep.

I woke up twice during the night, opening my eyes slightly.

I saw Qin Jiamo sleeping once, and another time I saw him already awake, facing his business laptop with a cold and serious expression, clearly handling official business.

Even when traveling for work, I'm constantly busy.

As expected, no one succeeds easily.

Outsiders only see the dazzling brilliance of successful elites, envying their composure and radiance, but few know that behind every glamorous facade lies untold hard work and dedication.

Qin Jiamo's background may make it easier for her to succeed than that of ordinary people, but the pressure and responsibility she bears are unimaginable to ordinary people.

She admired him silently, and felt sorry for him silently as well.

With about two hours left before arrival, Lin Xiwei woke up after a good night's sleep.

She didn't say anything, but just turned her head to look at the scenery rushing past the car window.

The closer you get to home, the thicker the snow becomes on the road.

As we approached Jiangcheng Province, the view outside the window was already covered in snow, a true winter wonderland.

"This snow is expected to last for two or three days. We can take Junjun to build a snowman this weekend."

Seeing that she had woken up and was staring blankly out the window, Qin Jiamo suddenly spoke.

Lin Xiwei turned to look at him. "Are you done with your work?"

"No, we'll talk about it when we get back to the office this afternoon."

She was surprised: "You're going to work this afternoon?"

It's Friday today, and she thought she could finally relax after returning from her business trip.

"Of course." The man smiled, his voice deep and clear. "Our line of work has no off-season, and it's even busier during the winter and summer vacations."

Lin Xiwei asked curiously, "Why are you busier during winter and summer vacations?"

"The high incidence of juvenile cases during school holidays is a major reason. There are many other factors as well. In short, winter and summer vacations are periods when legal needs are concentrated. Not only are lawyers busier during winter and summer vacations, but the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems are even busier."

Lin Xiwei found it novel and learned a lot after listening to it.

Seeing Qin Jiamo staring at her, she snapped out of her reverie and praised him, "Attorney Qin is truly amazing. The world's righteous path is now in your hands."

Qin Jiamo chuckled speechlessly, "Your flattery came a little too suddenly."

Lin Xiwei smiled but remained silent.

Han Rui called over the flight attendant and ordered three lunches.

During the meal, Qin Jiamo instructed, "Someone from your family will pick you up from the station later. Go straight home. I need to go to the law firm; I have a meeting at 3 PM."

"Okay." She obediently followed the instructions.

In the morning, she told Feng Zheqian that she was returning to Jiangcheng early and specifically asked if she would still be going to the company in the afternoon.

Feng Zheqian said no, and told her to go home and rest.

She missed her son terribly after being separated from him for a few days and wanted to go back and spend quality time with him.

Thinking of that incident, Lin Xiwei paused, then asked calmly, "So... what are the plans for tonight?"

"Evening?" Qin Jiamo hadn't reacted yet, but when he looked up at her, he suddenly understood.

"I won't go back to the old house tonight. You and Junjun have dinner there, and then the driver will take you back to Greentown Villa."

"Oh," Lin Xiwei mumbled in response as she ate her meal.

What she really wanted to ask was whether Qin Jiamo was coming tonight and whether they should carry out their plan.

But since they didn't say it directly, she didn't feel comfortable asking further.

After all, Han Rui was also present.

In fact, Qin Jiamo knew what she was asking.

He's been so busy these past few days that he doesn't know what time he'll finish at night, and if it's too late, he might bother her.

Therefore, no definite answer was given.

After finishing her meal, Qin Jiamo took a short rest.

Lin Xiwei couldn't sleep, so she chatted with Chu Qing on WeChat for a while.

Knowing that she had returned with Qin Jiamo, Chu Qing excitedly sent out a barrage of emojis, praising Qin Jiamo effusively and saying that men who take action are the most charming.

Lin Xiwei smiled faintly, secretly glancing back at the sleeping man, her heart filled with even more excitement and intoxication.

He is indeed very handsome; even when he's asleep, he's captivating.

Sigh, she's hopeless.

When I was with Su Yunfan, I was love-struck and completely swayed by him.

She had finally recovered from her love-struck state, only to fall into Qin Jiamo's trap again, and her love-struck state began to grow wildly once more.

The high-speed train arrived on time.

Qin Jiamo's driver and the old house's driver were both waiting at the exit.

As she was about to walk out, Lin Xiwei suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Qin Jiamo turned to look at her.
