Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

Lu Jingshi sat on the sofa behind her, holding his phone and sending messages.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her face beaming with joy and her expression filled with excitement. I was unconsciously infected by her joy and a faint smile appeared on my face as well.

"Have you found him?"

Jiang Wan subconsciously hummed in agreement, then abruptly turned her head: "You...how did you know I was looking for someone?"

Lu Jingshi sat up straight and handed her his phone.

"Take a look at this and see what it is?"

Jiang Wan took it with a puzzled look, and after glancing at it twice, she suddenly sat up straight.

On the phone screen, there was actually all the information about the in-laws in the United States!

"Where did you get this? You...you had it hacked?!"

Lu Jingshi rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. "Have you been watching too many movies? Seriously, do you think we can even stay here peacefully now?"

"After that incident, I asked someone to check the information of these two people, but information alone is not enough. They won't cooperate obediently. We also need something to control them."

Jiang Wan finished reading all the materials, looked up and met his gaze, her eyes sparkling.

"This is a loan approval application from them in the United States. How did you get it?"

Lu Jingshi took back his phone, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"What? Only your Gu Yang is allowed to find out something, but others can't? The person who did this approval happens to be my high school classmate."

Jiang Wan opened her mouth. This guy kept mentioning Gu Yang; anyone who didn't know better would think he had fallen in love with Gu Yang.

She turned around, knelt down on the ground, leaned her upper body on the armrest of the sofa in front of him, and blinked her eyes ingratiatingly.

"Director Lu... could you please introduce me to the person who approved the loan?"

Lu Jingshi rarely saw her being so obsequious. After thinking for a moment, he glanced at the cup on the coffee table.

Jiang Wan immediately noticed and poured him a full glass of water, then brought it to his lips.

Lu Jingshi didn't take it, but slowly took a sip from her hand: "It's a little cold."

"How could that be? It only burned recently."

Jiang Wan brought it over, took a big gulp, and then gasped for breath from the heat.

"You have……"

The cup in her hand was taken away, and a pair of slightly cool lips captured her lips.

Warm palms rested on the back of his head, and the unique, crisp pine scent emanating from Lu Jingshi lingered around his nose, intertwined with a faint, almost imperceptible tobacco aroma.

Jiang Wan's eyelashes twitched slightly, and before she could react, Lu Jingshi released her.

"I can introduce you; this is a token of my appreciation."

Jiang Wan was both angry and amused: "Who said I was going to use this as a thank-you gift? You're just being a scoundrel!"

Lu Jingshi stared at her intently, then slowly licked his lips with the tip of his tongue.

At this moment, he was leaning back on the sofa, wearing a black casual shirt with the collar slightly open.

My freshly washed hair was still damp, with a few unruly strands floating on my forehead.

A pair of rimless glasses adorned his exquisitely handsome face, giving him a touch of wickedness amidst his good looks.

Water droplets dripped from the ends of her hair, landing on her high, straight nose, and flowing down to her perfect jawline.

She was languid and lazy, with an air of inviting people to take whatever they wanted, and looked incredibly delicious and tempting.

"So you like that? That's fine too."

He grabbed Jiang Wan from the ground, pulled her into his arms, and whispered into her delicate, fair ear.

"Can I stay here with you forever and not have to leave?"

Jiang Wan swallowed hard, her mind blank, and nodded involuntarily.

Only after hearing his laughter did she suddenly realize what was happening, pushed him away, and stood up.

Lu Jingshi actually used his beauty to seduce her!

Before Jiang Wan could speak, Lu Jingshi resumed his serious demeanor.

"We've already made plans. We'll meet at the coffee shop downstairs from her office at 1 p.m. tomorrow. We'll go together then."

"You're coming with me? What about your own plans?"

Looking at Lu Jingshi's ambiguous smile, Jiang Wan suddenly realized that she was not unaware of Kairong's business.

What business could he possibly have that requires him to come to the United States?

"You came here for this too? And you deliberately took the same flight as me? You don't trust me?"

Jiang Wan's eyes filled with complex emotions. After struggling for a long time, she finally suppressed the bitterness and grievance in her heart and decided to ask for clarification.

"Since you didn't trust them in the first place, why did you suspend me? Are you afraid... that Director Fang will really be implicated?"

Lu Jingshi seemed surprised that she asked so frankly.

After carefully examining her class, he sighed helplessly and pointed to the still clearly visible scars on his face.

He was injured when he shielded Jiang Wan from a golf club thrown by Lin's mother.

"A person in great pain is capable of anything. Unless you leave first, no one can guarantee what might happen."

"So...you were actually protecting me?"

Lu Jingshi's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer. He picked up his water glass and took a sip.

Then he leaned back on the sofa, picked up his phone, and pretended to look at it.

Seeing his unnatural manner of making 800 fake movements per second, Jiang Wan pursed her lips and turned around.

A hint of sweetness slowly welled up in my heart.

She knew there were many problems and obstacles between them that they couldn't solve.

But at this moment, thousands of miles away from those trivial matters, in this small house, there are only the two of them.

Whether you deliberately try to forget or can't help but get closer, just treat this as a dream...

After Jiang Wan video-chatted with Wang Yiran to let her know she was safe, she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When she came out, she found Lu Jingshi already lying on the sofa.

She walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "You're a guest, you go sleep in the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa."

Lu Jingshi refused and urged her to go to sleep. Seeing his insistence, Jiang Wan had no choice but to return to the bedroom, looking back every few steps.

In the middle of the night, several loud sneezes in the living room made it impossible for Jiang Wan to lie down any longer.

"It gets chilly at night, why don't you... come in?"

I thought I would have to say a few more words of persuasion, but the next moment, Lu Jingshi appeared at the door with a pillow in his hand.

Seeing that he had settled down, Jiang Wan grabbed her pillow and prepared to get up and go to the living room.

Lu Jingshi flipped over, grabbed her waist, and pinned her down.

"You shouldn't go either, just sleep here."

He lay on his side facing Jiang Wan, with one arm bent behind his head.

An arm stretched out horizontally, tightly wrapping around Jiang Wan's waist, showing no intention of pulling away.

Jiang Wan moved slightly, but Lu Jingshi tightened his grip even more.

"Don't move."

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes in the darkness, wondering who was making such a fuss.

But drowsiness overcame her, and she was too lazy to talk anymore, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Wan was woken up by the noise of cars parked downstairs.

She opened her eyes, stared at the ceiling for a few seconds in a daze, before remembering where she was.

I turned my head slightly, but there was no one beside me.

"woke up?"

Lu Jingshi leaned against the bedroom door, his expression content and relaxed: "After breakfast, I'm going somewhere."

Breakfast was prepared by Lu Jingshi: two fried eggs, two cups of milk, a few slices of bacon, and a few grilled sausages.

Jiang Wan asked in surprise, "Don't you hate eating Western food the most? I'll take you to eat Chinese food?"

Lu Jingshi frowned and took a bite of the grilled sausage: "Just eat this. What are you going to do later?"

"I arranged to meet up with some Chinese students I met while working."

She was working at a Chinese restaurant at the time and got to know many international students.

She enjoyed talking to them and listening to their stories about campus life.

Over the years, some people have gone elsewhere, some have returned to China, and some are still pursuing degrees.

They heard in the group chat that Jiang Wan had returned, and they made plans to meet up today.

Lu Jingshi looked at her thoughtfully, a vague meaning swirling in his dark eyes.
