On the afternoon of the third day, Jiang Wan went to the court to pick up the documents. As soon as she got off the elevator to the first floor, she received a call from Fang Tian.

They said there was something urgent and they needed her to go back.

Half an hour later, Jiang Wan returned to her office, where Lu Jingshi was also present, and Fang Tian followed her in.

"Director Fang, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

Fang Tian handed Jiang Wan a folder: "This was just sent to me by the Bureau of Justice, assigning me to represent a defendant."

Jiang Wan took the list without understanding why, but when she saw the name on it, her scalp tingled instantly.

Fang Tian was actually assigned as Zhang Haiyun's lawyer!

"Jiang Wan, did you file this case? Do you know this Zhang Haiyun? Is she blackmailing you?"

Lu Jingshi lowered his head, quickly flipping through the documents in his hand, asking questions as he read.

Jiang Wan remained silent with a blank expression, vaguely sensing that things were starting to spiral out of control.

"He's from my hometown. Since Director Fang works in the same office as me, to avoid any appearance of impropriety, it's best not to take this case."

I, Lu Jingshi, looked up and glanced at her thoughtfully. She agreed, saying, "Since Jiang Wan is involved in this case, we are not suitable to represent her. I will explain the situation to the Justice Bureau, and we will drop this matter."

Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and Fang Tian did not raise any objections.

Actually, she called people back today not because she really wanted to take the case, but just to test Jiang Wan's reaction.

Was it a complete misunderstanding, a spur-of-the-moment decision, or is there some secret involved?

Although she is not handling the case, she will definitely continue to investigate this matter.

"Ah Shi, are you coming home for the family dinner tonight?"

Lu Jingshi subconsciously looked at Jiang Wan, but she didn't look at him: "I'm not going. The government project in Haicheng New District needs to come up with a plan the day after tomorrow, and I don't have time."

Fang Tian nodded and didn't press the matter further. As soon as she left the office, she immediately sent a message to Zhao Kaifa.

…………

At 8 p.m. that evening.

Inside a suite at a luxury seaside hotel, a breathtaking scene is unfolding.

In the spacious guest room, two figures were intertwined on the soft couch, their clothes scattered all over the floor, filling the room with a spring-like atmosphere.

After an unknown amount of time, the two figures suddenly separated.

Fang Tian immediately got up and went to the bathroom, while Zhao Kai leaned against the headboard, smoking a cigarette afterward.

"Why are you being so careful today? You won't let me touch this or that."

Zhao Kai recalled the few positions that weren't very satisfying earlier and complained.

Fang Tian didn't want to tell him the truth, and only made excuses by saying that she was tired.

"I've already sent you the plan, Zhao Kai. This time, we're truly even."

Zhao Kai didn't take it seriously. This woman had said it would be the last time, but what happened? She just couldn't bear to part with him.

"I'm really getting engaged."

Zhao Kai sneered: "I doubt Lu Jingshi would agree. Didn't he say the same thing over a month ago?"

"This time it's not up to him. Let's not meet in private anymore. I'm leaving now."

Fang Tian washed herself clean, dressed neatly, and left without looking back. Zhao Kai squinted as he flipped through the contract she had brought.

I took a few pictures with my phone and quickly sent them out.

What woman? She's just a stepping stone for him to climb up the social ladder.

When Lu Jingshi first came to Kairong, he was clearly one of his apprentices, but now he had to depend on him. He was not happy about it.

What Lu Jingshi can do, Zhao Kai can also do.

Lu Jingshi finished the last stroke and then raised his head to stretch his neck.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that the suite was also lit up.

Lu Jingshi got up and walked to the door of the suite.

Sure enough, Jiang Wan was buried in a pile of documents, making final revisions to her paper.

Sensing the change in light at the doorway, she looked up and met a pair of deep, complex eyes.

Lu Jingshi glanced at his watch: "Are you done with work? Want to go home?"

Just as Jiang Wan was about to answer, the office phone on the table suddenly rang.

Who would call in the middle of the night?

Before she could think much about it, the call was answered automatically.

Yu Qing's anxious voice immediately came through: "Ah Shi, why can't I get through to your phone? Come quick, it's the city hospital, something's happened to Tian Tian."

Lu Jingshi immediately turned around and took the car keys from the table.

Jiang Wan had just put on her coat: "Don't rush, I'll go with you."

The car sped all the way to the city hospital, where Shen Juan was talking to someone in the lobby.

Upon seeing Lu Jingshi arrive, he was about to speak when he saw Jiang Wan push the door open behind him and immediately shut up.

"Shen Juan, what happened?"

Shen Juan scratched his head, his eyes glancing repeatedly at Jiang Wan: "It's nothing serious, it's just..."

"What is it?" Lu Jingshi shoved him impatiently. "She had an accident at the Lu family villa. If there are any problems, the Lu family won't be able to explain themselves. Hurry up and tell me what happened?"

"Well... when I was going downstairs, I accidentally fell down the stairs, but I'm not seriously hurt."

Lu Jingshi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thankfully, did you notify her parents?"

"They're all in wards on the eighth floor, it's just..."

Jiang Wan's gaze fell on the floor sign not far away: the eighth floor, which was the obstetrics and gynecology department.

"He was hesitant, but it's nothing serious. Since her parents are here, we'll be leaving now."

Lu Jingshi turned around, gently grabbed Jiang Wan's arm, and tried to push her away with him.

Shen Juan's voice rang out again.

"It's an early pregnancy, and it's a bit unstable. I need to be hospitalized for two days to receive injections to prevent miscarriage!"

Lu Jingshi stopped in his tracks immediately, as if struck by lightning, standing there dumbfounded, unable to believe his ears.

"What did you say?"

Shen Juan's gaze swept over Jiang Wan with a hint of pity.

Fang Tian is pregnant, less than 35 days along.

Lu Jingshi instinctively tightened his grip on Jiang Wan's arm: "Jiang Wan, I..."

Jiang Wan's body trembled slightly, her throat was dry, and she looked at him quietly, hoping he would say something.

Lu Jingshi only called her name a few times in a panic before turning to look at Shen Juan.

"At this point, is there any technology to confirm that the child is one's own?"

Jiang Wan's face drained of color in an instant. Less than 35 days had passed, just a few days after they returned from the United States...

She gently pulled away and shook off his hand: "I'm not going upstairs, I'm leaving now."

She nodded to Shen Juan and turned to leave.

"Jiang Wan!"

Lu Jingshi had just taken a step when Fang Tian's voice rang out behind him.

"Ah-Shi, you're here?"

He turned his head and saw Yu Qing and Fang's mother smiling as they each helped Fang Tian up on one side.

Lu Guokun and Fang's father lagged behind, also all smiles.

"Are you crazy with joy? Aren't you coming over?" Yu Qing beckoned him over. "I think the 25th of this month is a very auspicious day, so let's choose that day for our engagement."

Fang Tian lowered her head shyly: "I'll listen to Auntie."

Lu Jingshi watched from afar, as if it had nothing to do with him. He was an adult man and was not unaware of his own body.

Although he didn't remember anything that morning, his body was very honest about whether something had happened or not.

How could Fang Tian be pregnant...?
