“Lu Jingyan…” Feeling his warm breath on her earlobe, Su Yanxi was furious. She pushed him away and shouted angrily.

“Yes, I’m quietly waiting for Ms. Su to withdraw the lawsuit. Of course… you can choose not to withdraw the lawsuit too,” Lu Jingyan answered calmly. He stood up from the edge of the table and his hands naturally fell into his pockets. He tilted his head and looked at her sideways. “If that’s the case, then Ms. Su should be prepared to be my lawyer. After all, Sheng Yi Law Firm is the most famous law firm in T City.”

Su Yanxi was even angrier after hearing his words. She glared at him angrily and questioned, “Lu Jingyan, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

Lu Jingyan shrugged, “I did nothing. I simply analyzed this matter with you.”

“You…” Su Yanxi was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her head. However, she had no reason to refute his words. If this guy was really so shameless, then not only would their marriage be exposed, even their divorce would cause a storm.

At the thought of this, anger appeared in her almond-shaped eyes as she glared at Lu Jingyan. However, she tried her best to suppress it, “So, are you threatening me now?”

“Hm? It seems like Ms. Su didn’t learn the Chinese language well. This isn’t a threat, this is just a suggestion.” Lu Jingyan deliberately raised his voice, his restrained cold eyes still looking down at her from above, and there was a hint of smugness between his brows.

“Suggestion? Hehe, then I really have to thank Dr. Lu for giving me such a good suggestion.” Su Yanxi laughed coldly. She almost had to squeeze the last sentence out of her mouth.

Looking at his smug and handsome face, Su Yanxi finally couldn’t hold back. She lifted her high heels and kicked his calf, “This is a thank-you gift. You don’t have to be so polite.” With that, she grabbed her bag and left the office.

“Hiss…”

The pain in his calf made Lu Jingyan suck in a cold breath, but his expression did not change much. His brows twitched fiercely as he looked down at the marks on his pants. He raised his hand to caress the chest that she had elbowed in the morning, and a sinister look flashed across his eyes.

Coupled with the incident in the morning, this woman had hit him twice in a day.

After leaving Lu Jingyan’s office, the burning anger in Su Yanxi’s heart was still not appeased. When Yi Yao saw her coming out, she immediately walked over. She noticed that her expression was not right and her eyes darted around before she asked carefully, “Ms. Su, what… what’s wrong?”

“I’m fine.” Su Yanxi frowned and replied impatiently. She suddenly thought of something and looked at her, “Yi Yao, go to the court and withdraw the divorce application I asked you to submit last time.”

“Huh? Withdraw it? Isn’t the court in the middle of processing it now? Why are they suddenly withdrawing it?” Yi Yao was still confused. She instinctively glanced at the door of Lu Jingyan’s office, feeling a little baffled.

Su Yanxi pursed her lips. She looked at the confused Yi Yao and said indifferently, “The client said that he wants to withdraw the lawsuit. I just remembered it.”

“Huh?” Yi Yao’s eyes widened in surprise before her eyes lit up. She approached Su Yanxi and asked softly, “Ms. Su, is that divorce application from Dr. Lu? He just said that he’s married and then…”

As if her thoughts had been exposed, Su Yanxi immediately interrupted her, “It’s not his. Alright, don’t ask so much. Just make that trip as I instructed. Why do you have so many questions? Also, just now… Ahem, Dr. Lu specially instructed us to keep his marriage a secret, okay?”

“Oh… okay, I’ll take a cab to the court myself.”

Looking at Yi Yao’s departing figure, Su Yanxi held her forehead and tried hard to hide the unnatural expression on her face.
