At night, she held Mouse Treasure and called her mom. As soon as she casually mentioned Dad, her mom immediately understood, "Weiwei, do you think you can be his spokesperson?"

  "Mom, I'm not by your side and I always worry about you being alone... Dad also said that he won't quarrel with you again..."

  "You also know that I divorced your father for more than just quarreling."

  "But Uncle Lin is no longer here...... Why must you......" Zheng Wei didn't know how to continue.

  "Mom's voice was calm, 'Yes, he died many years ago. I'm not waiting for him, and I won't agree to your father remarrying. It's not that I'm afraid of arguing with him again, but our personalities just don't match. Once the fate is over, it's over. I don't want to try again. Tell him to find someone else while he's still young. If I meet a good person, I'll consider it too. And you shouldn't just worry about me, how are you? You're already a big girl, when your mom was your age, she already had you.'"

  "Don't worry, won't your daughter be unwanted by anyone?" She said with a smile, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, so she asked, "Mom, how is Aunt Sun doing now?"

  Mom and Aunt Sun are still working in the same unit, "Same old story, people have died, what's there to fight for? She is the leader of the unit, can't always be entangled with me over this matter, at most just ignore it. By the way, Weiwei, I heard that after Lin Jing returned to China, she found a good job in Shanghai, but then went to G city, you guys..."

  Zheng Wei hastily interrupted, "Mom, what else can we do? The units in Shanghai are good, but maybe the ones here are even better. Do you think he would come to G City for me? He's not that kind of person."

  A week later, Lin Jing returned from a business trip. When Zheng Wei received the call, he could still hear the airport broadcast in the background. He said, "Weiwei, how about having dinner together tonight?"

  Zheng Wei muttered under her breath, clutching at her skirt and saying: "I'm busy today."

  He smiled, "How long do you want to be busy?" Feeling the silence on the other end of the phone, Lin Jing said, "Any criminal suspect should be allowed to have the right to appeal, don't you think we should talk about it?"

  "Today Ruan Ruan is discharged from the hospital, I really need to go pick her up. Can we talk about anything else later?" She didn't give him any more room to speak and quickly hung up the phone.

  Ruan Ruan's leg injury has recovered quite well, although she still can't remove the plaster cast, but with someone's support, she can also walk a few steps. Wu Jiang repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Zheng Wei for picking up Ruan Ruan from the hospital, saying that he would rush back home as soon as he finished his work, and since Ruan Ruan was not convenient to move around, he had also hired an experienced nanny to take care of her daily life.

  Zheng Wei retorted a few words, "What are you thanking me for? I'm here to pick up my friend, not your wife, Dr. Wu. You can continue to carry on the spirit of Bai Qien, I'll definitely send Ping An home safely."

  Ruan Ruan saw Wu Jiang's face reveal a hint of shame, and smiled as she said to Zheng Wei, "Sir, let's go."

  Wu Jiang helped Ruan Ruan walk to the hospital entrance, and was about to hail a taxi for them. Seeing the car parked by the roadside, he smiled at Ruan Ruan and said, "This time we also have a free driver."

  Zheng Wei naturally also recognized Lin Jing's car, he saw them, walked down, greeted Wu Jiang, and said to Zheng Wei and Ruan Ruan: "Let's go, I'll take you."

  Zheng Wei's face turned red and white alternately, but her eyes didn't look at him, focusing intently on the road to pay attention to passing taxis.

  Ruan Ruan stood for a while, suddenly frowned and let out a "hiss" sound, with an expression that seemed to be in pain.

  "Are you okay?" Zheng Wei asked.

  "It hurts a bit, but I can still bear it."

  It happened to be the time for taxi shift change, and hailing a cab wasn't an easy task. Zheng Wei was worried about Ruan Ruan's leg, so she sighed and said to Lin Jing, "Then thank you."

  Lin Jing quickly opened the rear car door for them, Wu Jiang carefully assisted Ruan Ruan to get in, and Zheng Wei also sat beside Ruan Ruan.

  Wu Jiang reminded Ruan Ruan to go home and rest well after returning home, thanked Lin Jing, and the car started and returned to the hospital.

  All the way, Zheng Wei only whispered to Ruan Ruan and ignored Lin Jing. On the contrary, Ruan Ruan chatted with him for a few words. Zheng Wei secretly glanced at his side profile with her spare vision. Probably just before boarding the plane, he had just finished his official business and was dressed up. His appearance and conversation were all like a humble gentleman. She naturally thought of a phrase "clothes crown XX", but instinctively resisted this statement, perhaps she still wasn't used to using derogatory words on Lin Jing.

  When we arrived at our home, the babysitter had already received a call and was waiting at the door. Zheng Wei said, "I'll take you in, and then come back later."

  Ruan Ruan shook her head, gesturing for the nanny to come over and help, "Go back, you've also had a long day, I'll rest as soon as I get home, and I'll call you again tomorrow." She then said to Lin Jing, "Thank you, Deputy Prosecutor Lin, trouble you to send Weiwei home."

  "Call me Lin Jing, no need to be polite, it's what I should do. You take good care of yourself and rest well."

  Zheng Wei couldn't help but feel helpless and didn't know what else to say, so she bid farewell to Ruan Ruan and sat back down in her original spot.

  "Where shall we go for dinner?" Lin Jing asked, looking at her through the rearview mirror.

  Zheng Wei said in a low voice, "Never mind, I'll just go home directly."

  Lin Jing didn't force her anymore, the car headed straight to Zhongjian Da Yuan, Zheng Wei lowered his head and played with his own fingernails, both of them were unusually silent.

  As soon as they arrived downstairs, Zheng Wei immediately got out of the car. She thought for a moment and turned back to ask, "Are you taking Mousey back now or another day?"

  Lin Jing said helplessly, "Forget it, or I'll go up with you to get it."

  Zheng Wei refused without hesitation, "No need, you wait for me downstairs for a while, I'll go bring it down."

  Lin Jing certainly knew what she was afraid of, and couldn't help but laugh. "Don't think I'm that scary, I've been busy all day, just got off the plane, and I'm too tired to think about anything else."

  Her face turned red, and she quickly went upstairs with a "thud", Lin Jing followed her up slowly, the door was not closed, she bowed her head and hugged Mouse Treasure, muttering something to herself.

  She saw him walking in, so she stuffed the mouse into his arms. "Don't overindulge it just because you don't have time to accompany it, and give it those high-calorie canned goods. The doctor says it needs to lose weight."

  Lin Jing changed her posture to hold the restless Mouse Treasure tightly, and suddenly stretched out one hand towards her. Before she even touched her, she retreated several steps in a row, her face flushed like a frightened little rabbit.

  "What's going on?" she said sternly.

  Looking at her tense and pale face, with a defensive posture, Lin Jing felt a bit embarrassed and withdrew his hand, gesturing to her to relax, saying softly: "I just wanted to help you remove the hair from that mouse's fur on your head."

  He saw her dazed expression and couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle, "Silly kid, looks like I really scared you."

  Zheng Wei was so embarrassed that she couldn't bear it. She admitted that from the moment he walked into this room, her mind had been filled with those things he did to her that night without warning, both nervous and ashamed, her whole body tense like a startled bird. He explained it like this, but she felt even more humiliated, and couldn't help but feel angry and resentful. Why could he laugh so comfortably, while she was always clumsy and awkward in front of him? Her indignation suddenly burst out, and with a fierce momentum, she took a step forward and pushed him hard, "What are you laughing at? Don't laugh!"

  Lin Jing didn't expect her to have this move, and was pushed back several steps by her with all her might. Mouse Treasure slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground. He said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh." But his face couldn't help but twitch with amusement.

  His composure only stimulated her. Zheng Wei rushed up like an enraged leopard, pushing him with both hands, "Still smiling, I'll make you smile."

  This time she didn't push Lin Jing away, but was instead pulled into his arms. At this moment, Lin Jing finally put away his smile and tightly hugged Zheng Wei, who had red eyes, allowing her to struggle, scratch, kick, bite, and scold in his arms, just not letting go.

  Zheng Wei struggled to free herself from his embrace, but just as she thought she had escaped, he pulled her close again. Despite being unable to fight back or retort, after a round of tussling, they were both exhausted. After venting their emotions, she suddenly relaxed, and the chaos, conflict, and resentment all turned into grievance. Lin Jing felt the person in his arms gradually calm down, finally lying weakly on his chest. He slowed down his breathing, afraid of startling her, but the clothes stuck to her cheek were slowly getting wet.
