Although Cheng Yao's stomach pain relieved a lot, Qian Heng insisted on sending her upstairs. He supervised Yao to take the medicine, and instead of leaving, he took out his handbag and got ready for work.
"Hey?"
"I'll stay here tonight." Qian Heng arranged without hesitation, "You don't have a stomachache now, but what if you feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night?" He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes fluttered, "It just so happens that I need to stay up late and work overtime, anyway With a computer, it’s the same wherever you work overtime.” At this point, Qian Heng finally raised his head and glanced at Cheng Yao, “Besides, I’m a legal tenant who pays the rent, so it’s reasonable to live here.”
—
Just like that, Qian Heng answered emails in the living room, and Cheng Yao went to the bathroom to take a shower. And when she came out of the shower, she found that Qian Heng, who was still writing materials in the living room just now, was no longer there.
Cheng Yao stepped on her slippers and walked over gently, only to find that Qian Heng's computer screen hadn't been turned off yet, and it wasn't legal materials, nor an email page, but something completely irrelevant—
“How to make porridge taste good”
"The Secret of Cooking White Porridge"
…
Cheng Yao subconsciously looked towards the kitchen, through the glass sliding door of the kitchen, and sure enough, Qian Heng was there. He was standing tall and tall in front of the gas stove, and when he encountered the most difficult cases, his eyebrows were only slightly frowned, almost twisted into a twist, and his face showed obvious frustration and bewilderment.
He was staring at the pot of porridge on the gas stove as if he was facing a big enemy, and his concentration was as if he was studying the atomic bomb, and a little carelessness would cause huge casualties.
Qian Heng didn't notice Cheng Yao outside the door at all. He was concentrating on looking at the pot, bending over to adjust the heat, and checking the time. This well-known partner who usually does things neatly and never procrastinates, is cooking porridge with a look of hopelessness...
Cheng Yao couldn't laugh or cry, she pushed open the sliding door and walked in: "Let me do it, you can't cook porridge with just such a small amount of water, if you cook like this, it will turn into rice."
She glanced at Qian Heng: "If you're hungry, just tell me. I'll cook for you. What do you want to eat?"
"I'm not hungry." Qian Heng's voice was muffled. For some reason, Cheng Yao felt a little wronged. His dark eyes looked at Cheng Yao, "I want to cook porridge for you."
"Me? But I don't want to drink porridge."
Qian Heng looked at the porridge with a serious tone: "Raymond said that you vomited a few times, even if your stomach doesn't hurt anymore, your stomach should be empty. It's better to drink some porridge before going to bed."
It turned out that I put down my work and devoted myself to cooking porridge with a research attitude, just wanting to eat for myself.
Cheng Yao only felt warm in her heart: "Don't be so exaggerated, it's really just a small problem..."
"That's what I thought with you at the beginning. Every time I feel that small problems don't hurt." Qian Heng lowered his eyes, "Later, I became acquainted with Raymond, a stomach specialist. Cheng Yao, small problems will turn into big ones." What's wrong, my stomach is not good, I know how uncomfortable it is, I have experienced it, so I don't want you to go through it even more."
While Cheng Yao was moved, she just felt distressed. She thought, it would be great if she knew Qian Heng earlier, stayed by his side earlier, urged him to drink porridge on time earlier, and forced him to treat her well during work breaks earlier. Body.
"I'll serve you a bowl of porridge, and I'll go to work after you finish drinking."
It’s just that she vomited a few times just now, Cheng Yao only felt that there was no taste in her mouth at all, she didn’t want to eat the same tasteless white porridge at all, she just wanted to eat something sweet, if I remember correctly, there is a box of candy in the room, it’s okay eat a bit. Cheng Yao looked at Qian Heng and told a rare lie.
"I'm a bit weak, I want to go back to sleep, I can't eat porridge anymore." Cheng Yao rubbed his eyes, "Why don't you save the porridge for tomorrow morning?"
After she finished speaking, she was afraid of being dragged by Qian Heng to drink the porridge, so she ran back to the room like flying.
Just leaning against the head of the bed and lying down, Qian Heng knocked on the door and came in with a bowl of porridge.
"Drink before going to sleep."
Cheng Yao also knows that it is better to drink a little hot porridge, but many times, people know how to treat themselves well, but people always have various reasons why they can't do it. For example, Cheng Yao doesn't like to eat porridge.
So she casually found a reason to shirk: "I don't want to drink unless you feed me."
According to Qian Heng's logic, unless he is too sick to move, he will feel sick and numb if he eats food. Cheng Yao happily waited for Qian Heng to give up the entanglement, and Qian Heng picked up the bowl and went out as she expected.
But not long after, he walked back with a cold face, this time, besides the bowl of porridge, he also had a spoon in his hand.
While Cheng Yao was stunned, Qian Heng calmly walked to Cheng Yao's bed, took a spoonful of porridge with a spoon, and brought it to Cheng Yao's mouth with unskilled movements: "I'll feed you, eat."
"..."
At the beginning, Qian Heng was not very skilled in the feeding business, but when the two of them were together, they seemed to be doing the most boring thing, and felt that it was not a waste of time.
In the end, under Qian Heng's supervision and feeding, Cheng Yao had to drink half a bowl of porridge. It's just that although she doesn't like white porridge, this time Cheng Yao feels that white porridge is unexpectedly delicious.
After finishing the porridge, Qian Heng left to clean up the dishes, and Cheng Yao lay on the bed alone. She couldn't hold back, and found the couple necklace hidden under the pillow. It is indeed not a very expensive brand, but the style is very special, Cheng Yao almost caught his eye at first glance, but it is a pity that Qian Heng does not like to wear couple necklaces, let alone such cheap brands.
"Cheng Yao, you..."
Just thinking about it, Qian Heng opened the door and came in at this moment. He also saw the necklace Cheng Yao was playing with: "What is this?"
Cheng Yao hurriedly hid the necklace under the pillow: "It's nothing."
It's a pity that Qian Heng's eyesight is really good: "The necklace you bought?"
Cheng Yao was afraid that Qian Heng would laugh at her, so she quickly denied it: "No, you read it wrong."
It's a pity that she is not Qian Heng's opponent at all. Qian Heng stretched out one hand to hold Cheng Yao in his arms to restrain her struggle, and gently dug under the pillow with the other hand: "What is this?" Focusing on the two necklaces in his hand, "Or couple necklaces? Did you buy them?"
"..." Cheng Yao thought of Qian Heng's complaints about the couple's necklace, and she was a little ashamed and angry, "Give it back to me!"
Then Qian Heng not only didn't return it to her, but also looked at it carefully: "It's quite unique."
To Cheng Yao's surprise, Qian Heng pursed his lips and said nothing, just put the men's necklace around his neck.
"Hey??? Didn't you say you don't wear couple necklaces?"
Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao: "You've bought everything, do I dare not wear it?" He lowered his eyes, looking a little shy as if receiving a gift, "However, your aesthetics in choosing a necklace is the same as your choice in choosing a boyfriend. Same, both are good. This necklace is very nice. Thank you."
After Qian Heng put on the necklace, he picked up the women's necklace and gently put it on for Cheng Yao. During the movement, his hand lightly touched Cheng Yao's neck, and Cheng Yao couldn't help the slight itch. Shrinking her neck, what makes Cheng Yao even more unbearable is the itchy throbbing in her heart at this moment. With her head down, she gently bumped into Qian Heng's arms.
What made it even more difficult for Cheng Yao to calm down was that, in her position, Qian Heng lowered his head and kissed her neck carefully.
It was a series of gentle kisses as if they were treating precious treasures. However, the sensitive skin and touch on the neck deepened the sensory stimulation brought by this series of kisses. Cheng Yao only felt that the skin on her neck was winding along with Qian Heng. The meandering kiss became hot all the way as if it had been ignited by sparks.
And at such a close distance, each other's voices were amplified, and Qian Heng's soft panting lingered in Cheng Yao's ears. He gave up attacking Cheng Yao's neck, lifted the back of her head, and kissed her lips.
It was a kiss so sweet that even Cheng Yao was intoxicated, but when Cheng Yao took the initiative to hook Qian Heng's neck to meet her, Qian Heng pulled away abruptly, ending the kiss.
Qian Heng looked at Cheng Yao with obscure restraint in his eyes, his chest still had the outline of panting, and his voice was deeper and hoarse than usual.
"Cheng Yao, don't challenge my bottom line anymore."
Cheng Yao didn't react for a while: "Huh?"
Qian Heng stood up, and he turned his head away, as if trying to calm down, but there was still a residual throbbing in his voice: "I'm going to work."
"what?"
Qian Heng looked at Cheng Yao in some embarrassment: "So I have to keep calm."
"Still sober."
"Um?"
"Don't look at me with that kind of eyes anymore." Qian Heng seemed to be unable to look directly at Cheng Yao anymore, he directly disregarded manners and stood away from Cheng Yao.
"What happened to my eyes?"
"If you don't want me to take a cold shower all night in such a cold day, then I suggest you stop looking at me."
"..."
It wasn't until now that Cheng Yao realized it. She blushed and glanced at Qian Heng. The other party still looked calm and natural, but his standing posture was already slightly unnatural, his voice was a little hurried, and his actions is faster than the sound.
Almost as if being chased by something, Qian Heng said good night, and walked out of Cheng Yao's room in a way of fleeing.
Cheng Yao looked at the door closed by Qian Heng, and suddenly covered herself with a quilt, and couldn't help but hide in the bed. Her face was burning like fire at the moment, and her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest.
Cheng Yao almost thought bitterly, Qian Heng is really poisonous.
—
I don't know if it was because of Qian Heng's company, Cheng Yao listened to the sound of him typing and tapping on the keyboard in the living room, unconsciously, she had a good night's sleep.
It's just that Qian Heng was not so lucky. Obviously because of Cheng Yao's interruption last night, he had to work overtime very late. When he woke up in the morning, there were still faint shadows under his eyes.
It wasn't the first time that the two had breakfast in the same room, but this time, Cheng Yao felt particularly shy and nervous when she looked at the man opposite who was slicing the fried egg gracefully.
Obviously I didn't do anything last night, but I just felt so nervous.
And Qian Heng was obviously not as calm and composed as he seemed. He, who has always had perfect dining etiquette, slipped his hand twice while cutting fried eggs with a knife and fork.
In the end, he could only clear his throat, turned his head away again, and said unnaturally: "Cheng Yao, you stared at me too closely."
"..."
—
Cheng Yao never thought that a simple breakfast could be so beautiful.
Fortunately, after breakfast, the two went to Junheng together, and finally calmed down after they each started working.
It's a pity that this calmness didn't last long, because soon next weekend, Junheng's second team building in Japan will start.
Bao Rui had already arranged and settled his work in advance, and now he was sighing while looking at the purchasing agent list given to him by his wife, and Tan Ying also obviously had the same heart for Japan, and was working on a strategy for Japanese cosmeceuticals.
Cheng Yao is probably the only one who has a working status. She was just called into the office by Qian Heng and entrusted with the important task of a family trust dispute with a target value of 2.3 billion.
"You take charge of this case, and I'm in charge of checking it out. Except for the share to the firm, you get six of the remaining revenue, and I get four." Qian Heng's attitude was normal, with his usual aloofness. In the office, he There wasn't any tenderness from last night, and he was doing what a boss should do competently. Only the couple necklace that loomed around his neck following his movements reminded Cheng Yao that this was that man.
Cheng Yao was very excited about being able to do such a big case, and after finishing it, according to the share ratio given by Qian Heng, she might become a rich woman! This cognition completely covered the rest of Cheng Yao's inner emotions, and she thanked her almost subconsciously excitedly: "Thank you boss!"
"You don't need to thank me." Qian Heng didn't raise his head, "Don't think that it's because of your status that I'm accommodating and taking care of you. In Lin Fengjuan's case, you proved your ability, and you deserve it. If it were Bao Rui or Tan Ying, in the same situation, I would give such a case source and proportion."
"kindness!"
After leaving Qian Heng's office, Cheng Yao's heart was still not at peace for a long time. She flipped through the materials of the family trust case, her hands were still shaking with excitement.
Getting the affirmation and approval of Qian Heng in terms of work and ability seems to be no less shocking and joyful than being liked by Qian Heng.
—
And as if to confirm Qian Heng's words, Cheng Yao received the appraisal report from the appraisal office the next afternoon.
Han Han and Lu Jian, the parent-child relationship is established!
Lin Fengjuan looked at the paternity test and almost cried with joy: "Thank you for becoming a lawyer! Thank you so much! Thank you and Hanhan for getting justice!"
"In this way, after the second trial, the existence of parent-child relationship is proved, and the child support dispute can be entered. I will try my best to fight for more child support for Hanhan, and leave it to me."
This time, Lin Fengjuan's face showed complete trust.
What Cheng Yao brought to Lin Fengjuan was other than the good news: "By the way, this is the money our law firm raised for Han Han. You can keep it. Han Han's heart surgery, I heard There is still a shortfall, with our money and the ones you raised online before, Hanhan’s surgery fee should not be bad.”
Lin Fengjuan couldn't hold back, tears streaming down on the spot: "Lawyer Cheng, I really don't know what to say, thank you very much, you are the best, most responsible and humane lawyer I have ever met, you are still so young , one day, you will definitely become a well-known barrister in the country."
"In addition, I have already collected evidence from the marketing accounts and netizens who smeared you for disclosing your address information. By suing the Weibo platform, I will first obtain the personal information of these marketing accounts and netizens, and then I will I will sue these people again." Cheng Yao's thinking was clear and organized, "Winning this kind of infringement lawsuit may not necessarily result in a lot of monetary compensation, but at least it will give you justice. As for coming to your house to smash you Those who were injured, I saw a 24-hour supermarket at the intersection of the road that your house must pass, and there is a probe at the entrance of the supermarket, I will try to retrieve the video there to see if I can locate the suspect."
"As for the hospital that gave Lu Jian a false diagnosis of azoospermia, I have also investigated. This private hospital was invested by Lu Jian's father when it first opened, and Lu Jian's father still holds shares. The evidence we have They were also submitted to the court, and the subsequent court will hold Lu Jianhe hospital accountable for perjury."
One item after another, Cheng Yao arranged everything clearly, and Lin Fengjuan nodded repeatedly with red eyes.
—
But after leaving Lin Fengjuan, Cheng Yao still felt a sense of satisfaction and professional pride in getting something done by herself.
Being a lawyer, probably the most proud and handsome, is this moment!
Now that she got the paternity test, and the second trial is a foregone conclusion, Cheng Yao finally called Cheng Xi.
"Sister, I won."
Cheng Yao talked about the entire court trial in detail on the phone, and described Deng Ming's capsized boat in the gutter so vividly that even Cheng Xi couldn't help laughing: "Yaoyao, I'm so proud of you, you really grew up Already." Cheng Xi's tone was gentle and emotional, "You are stronger than me, stronger than me, and more persistent than me."
Cheng Yao has no intention of competing with Cheng Xi, but she has always been inferior to Cheng Xi in the eyes of her parents, and she longs for approval in her heart.
Cheng Xi's simple words were enough to satisfy her.
"Sister, it's a pity that I learned from the judge that Deng Ming, a villain, has completely dismissed the guilt of falsifying evidence, claiming that he was also deliberately deceived by the party involved, Lu Jian, so Deng Ming will no longer defend Lu Jian in the second trial. As an agent, let Lu Jian hire another Gao Ming, and he also created a foolish image on social media, expressing all kinds of righteous words, if he knew that Lu Jian would act like this in order to avoid parent-child relationship and child support, he would I would never accept this kind of client's case."
Speaking of this, Cheng Yao couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, she couldn't help curling her lips: "It's a pious thing to earn fame, and I have never seen a person who is more duplicitous and disgusting than him. It's a pity that I couldn't expose his deceit this time. He wanted to continue to fight head-on, but he saw that the momentum was not right and ran away immediately. His so-called undefeated myth came from this way. He only picked those cases that could definitely be won, and only picked cases where the opposing lawyer was a soft persimmon. Pinch." Cheng Yao mocked, "Look, sister, in the end he couldn't even win against me, no wonder he won't take any cases as long as Qian Heng takes on any case, he won't know what to do if he faces Qian Heng, even if he dies dead."
Cheng Xi also sighed: "He just spoke nicely, he is very good at packaging himself, he can use any means in order to succeed, he can even suppress his heart and pretend to be himself, I was blind at the time, I didn't see it at all, I just thought he was He is gentle and refined, he is considerate to me, he thinks not to bully young people and poor people, it doesn’t matter if he has no money, as long as he treats me nicely.” Cheng Xi’s tone was full of self-deprecating and helpless, “It’s just who would have thought that money would This kind of thing is hard to say for a while, but for you, such a subjective thing, you can take it back overnight if you want to."
"So Yaoyao, if you get married, you must keep your eyes open, and don't fall into this kind of pit like me."
Cheng Yao gave a guilty "hmm".
"By the way, last time I heard from Dad, you have a boyfriend? It seems that you are also a lawyer?"
"right… "
"When I go home this time, remember to bring me to meet him." Cheng Xi laughed, "Maybe I can give you a surprise then."
The two sisters chatted about other things, and in the end Cheng Yao had some work to do, so she could only reluctantly say goodbye to Cheng Xi.
But before hanging up the phone, Cheng Xi remembered something, and specially reminded Cheng Yao: "Be careful with Deng Ming."
"kindness?"
"He is a very vindictive person. This time you made him fall so hard, he won't let it go. You are all in the same working circle. I'm afraid he will trip you up behind your back."
As for Cheng Xi's worries, Cheng Yao was not afraid at all: "Then let him let the horse go." She has the tenacity of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, "I am not afraid of him!"
"It wouldn't be so scary if he could just let you go. Mainly, I heard that he recently accepted another legal variety show called 'Lawyers to Debate'. Every time he participated in this kind of activity, he You have to spread the word about yourself, and use the media and public opinion to suppress dissidents." Cheng Xi said, "It's always good for you to pay more attention."
Cheng Yao responded with a few words before finally hanging up the phone.
