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

For three consecutive days, Jiang Wan received no news from Lu Jingshi, and all the messages she sent went unanswered.

On the fourth day, she finally couldn't resist and went to Kairong early in the morning.

It was still early, and on a whim, Jiang Wan went to the restaurant on the 14th floor.

Since moving away from the institute, she has never eaten breakfast in the cafeteria again.

By now, the restaurant was quite full, and everyone who saw Jiang Wan warmly came up to congratulate her on returning to work.

Zhao Kai was among them.

"Attorney Jiang, this was truly a rollercoaster ride, but thankfully it was ultimately proven that you were innocent."

Jiang Wan smiled subtly as she recalled the alleyway from that night.

"Thank you for your concern, Director Zhao. You don't look too well. Is it because you've had too many cases lately?"

"Really?" Zhao Kai touched his face. "Maybe I've been working too much overtime. Sigh, without a good family background, I can only work my ass off."

He frowned as he looked at the half-eaten egg on Jiang's dinner plate. "Is that all you're eating? They're all making egg pancakes over there, do you want to go check it out?"

"Do you have egg pancakes?"

Behind the glass of the stall, a plump woman with a naturally smiling face was deftly flipping the pancakes in her hands.

Jiang Wan's eyes widened slightly, her pupils filled with surprise: "This...when did this appear?"

Isn't that chubby lady the owner of the egg pancake stall at the train station, the one she loves to eat the most?

How did she end up here?

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, for the stall owner looked up, paused slightly, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Jiang Lu, you two know each other?" Zhao Kai asked curiously.

Jiang Wan nodded: "She used to have a stall at the bus stop near the China University of Political Science and Law. I ate there almost every day. I just don't know how she ended up here?"

A look of realization flashed across Zhao Kai's eyes. He glanced at the stall, then at Jiang Wan, his face showing a look of inquiry.

Jiang Wan followed behind in line. The chubby sister was quick and efficient, and it was her turn in no time.

"Ms. Jiang, I was wondering why you weren't going to eat. Turns out you changed jobs."

"Boss, when did you move here? Is the foot traffic near the station... getting bad?"

"Okay, why not? I didn't come here on my own initiative," she said, peeking out and glancing at the surrounding stalls. "Your boss invited me. Not only do I not have to pay market management fees or stall fees here, but I also get a monthly salary."

The more she talked, the wider her smile became.

"It's much better than the exhausting work I used to do. I wonder who this kind person who loves fried egg pancakes that your boss is talking about is. I really have to thank her."

Jiang Wan pursed her lips, and couldn't help but recall what she had said to Lu Jingshi on the first day.

Unexpectedly, even though he was furious, he secretly remembered her words.

Jiang Wan felt like she had a lively little rabbit jumping around in her heart.

Each heartbeat was filled with irrepressible joy, and even breathing became light and pleasant.

After breakfast, I went up to the 22nd floor, but Lu Jingshi still hadn't arrived.

Only Xiao Wu was quietly cleaning when he saw Jiang Wan, and his reserved face was filled with excitement.

Jiang Wan put down her bag and joined her in cleaning.

As soon as Lu Jingshi finished brewing his tea, he strode into the office with a dark expression and heavy steps.

Good morning, Director Lu.

Lu Jingshi paused, glanced up quickly, and then dodged away.

He dared not meet Jiang Wan's gaze; his heart felt as if a million ants were gnawing at it, making him feel incredibly guilty.

Lu Jingshi gave a curt "hmm" and sat down behind his desk. Jiang Wan blinked, picked up the hot tea on the table, and handed it to him.

"It's cooled down enough. You can take your medicine half an hour after drinking it."

Lu Jingshi lowered his head and casually flipped through the documents on the table: "Put them down first, I'll drink in a bit."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Wan cautiously spoke again.

"What's wrong? I can go back to work today. If you have any troublesome tasks, you can give them to me. Have some tea to perk yourself up."

Her voice was filled with a deep sense of grievance and ingratiation, which made Lu Jingshi's heart clench and his breath catch in his throat.

He instinctively reached for the cup, but the moment his fingers touched it, he swept it to the ground.

"I told you I'd drink it in a bit, didn't you understand?"

Jiang Wan's smile froze on her face for half a second, the light in her eyes dimmed little by little, and her hands unconsciously clasped together and then loosened.

She crouched down and picked up the broken pieces of the cup one by one. Her nose tingled and wrinkled slightly, and a thin layer of redness rose in her eyes.

Lu Jingshi clenched his fists tightly, barely managing to suppress the urge to punch himself.

"Ah Shi, what's wrong?" Fang Tian walked in gracefully. "I heard you getting angry as soon as I got out of the elevator."

Lu Jingshi waved his hand. Compared to feeling guilty and uneasy about Jiang Wan, he didn't want to see Fang Tian even more.

"Alright, everyone get out. Leave me alone for a while."

Jiang Wan didn't say anything before Fang Tian pulled her out.

"Please bear with me, Lawyer Jiang. Ah Shi has been too tired these past few days. Don't take it to heart; she'll be fine in a few days."

Her words were spoken with a strong sense of family, which made Jiang Wan find it somewhat amusing.

She simply nodded and went into her small suite to handle her work.

Around noon, Jiang Wan looked up and saw Lu Jingshi still engrossed in writing something.

She hesitated for a moment, then went outside. "Um... are you feeling better? What would you like to eat for lunch?"

Lu Jingshi paused writing for a moment, then quickly resumed: "I'm not hungry, you go eat."

"Um... When we were in LA, didn't you say you really wanted to eat braised pork? I know a place around here that makes really good braised pork." Jiang Wan's eyes were red as she pretended not to notice his perfunctory attitude.

"Or, should I go downstairs and get some groceries to bring up?"

Lu Jingshi sighed, looked up and was about to speak when Fang Tian came in with a lunchbox.

"I knew you were still thinking about that, getting so caught up in it that you weren't eating properly."

Lu Jingshi's eyes suddenly became flustered. He quickly glanced at Jiang Wan and then looked away.

"Oh, Attorney Jiang doesn't get off work at noon?"

"Oh, I'll be logging off soon."

She looked at Lu Jingshi and Fang Tian suspiciously today, feeling that the two of them were acting strangely.

Fang Tian wore a light green shirt with a large ruffled collar today.

As she moved, her chest skin was constantly exposed, and Jiang Wan, with her sharp eyes, noticed the marks on it.

That seems to be...

When she bent down to put down the lunchboxes, Lu Jingshi caught a glimpse of her and immediately turned his head away.

His expression was quite unnatural.

Jiang Wan's heart tightened, and her nerves were stretched to the limit.

Fang Tian glanced at the two of them, then looked down at herself, and her face instantly turned bright red.

She glared at Lu Jingshi reproachfully and lightly tapped his shoulder with her small fist.

The meaning is self-evident!

Lu Jingshi was juggling relationships with both her and Fang Tian at the same time...

As if a string had snapped in her mind, Jiang Wan gripped her sleeve tightly, trying to appear strong.

She suddenly felt like a joke, as if a huge hole had been torn in her heart, and cold wind was rushing in.

She opened her mouth, a thousand words stuck in her throat, and in the end, they turned into a very soft sigh that only she could hear.

"I'm leaving now."
