Watching a few people walking into the house, Wang Dahai almost broke out in a cold sweat.

They had come back so early.

"Dahai, have you eaten?"

Liu Lin asked casually.

"Not yet, was just about to order some takeout with Xue." he said quickly.

In the room, Zhao Xue also heard it and hurriedly ran out, saying, "Hurry up with the order, I'm starving."

Wang Dahai hummed in response and then took out his phone to order the takeout.

It was only then that he noticed, apart from Liu Lin, Mr. Lin, and Lin Wanqiu, there was another woman who had returned.

This woman looked to be in her late twenties, dressed in a black pencil skirt, a white blouse, and a women's suit.

She presented a very refined image of a powerful woman.

Yet this woman had a face that looked very delicate yet exceptionally beautiful, with long wavy hair that draped over her shoulders.

She wore very bold makeup, but it didn't come off as tacky; instead, it gave off the vibe of a leading lady from a TV drama.

Wang Dahai just glanced at her and felt amazed.

He was also curious about who this woman was.

While he was ordering takeout, Mr. Lin and Liu Lin welcomed the woman to the sofa and said, "Lawyer Xu, please sit down, I'll get you a cup of tea."

"No need to bother, auntie, plain water is fine."

When the woman spoke, her soft, sweet voice was simply melting.

Wang Dahai also learned the woman's identity, a lawyer.

It seemed that this was indeed the lawyer Mr. Lin had hired.

After chatting on the sofa for a while, Wang Dahai understood the situation.

It turned out that Zhang Hao had always refused to divorce, even if sued, he wouldn't agree to it.

Although the legal process would allow a divorce in six months, Lin Wanqiu didn't want to wait that long.

She wanted to get divorced from him as soon as possible.

This lawyer, named Xu Xixi, then suggested negotiating face to face.

But negotiation was impossible with Zhang Hao's side, no matter what, he just wouldn't agree to it.

Therefore, Lawyer Xu believed they should still try negotiating with Zhang Hao's parents first, to get them on board.

But since Lin Wanqiu had borrowed seed, she didn't want to meet his parents, and his parents had also gone back to their hometown, not around here.

So, if they wanted to negotiate, only Lawyer Xu could go by herself.

Hearing this, Wang Dahai volunteered, "Wanqiu, let me accompany Lawyer Xu back."

Everyone looked at him, Wang Dahai said, "I'm from the same village as Zhang, I'm familiar with the area."

Hearing his words, Lawyer Xu nodded and said, "Having someone accompany me would certainly be best."

Mr. Lin said, "Then thank you for the trouble."

"No trouble at all." Wang Dahai smiled and asked, "Lawyer Xu, when do you plan to go?"

"In the next couple of days, let's add each other as friends, I'll contact you in advance when I'm about to go."

"Sure."

Wang Dahai felt a bit delighted, he hadn't expected to get the beautiful lawyer's contact information so easily.

Afterward, Lawyer Xu chatted with them for a while and then left.

"Lawyer Xu, let me see you out," Lin Wanqiu walked with her toward the exit, and Wang Dahai also hurried to follow.

Lin Wanqiu glanced at him but didn't stop him.

Coming down from the elevator, they escorted Lawyer Xu to the entrance of the residential complex, watched her get into a taxi, and then they walked back inside the complex.

On the way back, Wang Dahai voiced his confusion, "Wanqiu, why are you suddenly in such a rush to get divorced?"

Before, she had just told him about filing for divorce, saying that when the time came, it would definitely be granted.

But now, she was eager to get divorced sooner.

Hearing how Wang Dahai addressed her, Lin Wanqiu's cheeks grew a bit red, and she felt somewhat shy inside.

When there was no one around, Wang Dahai always called her like that.

It often gave her the feeling of being in a relationship.

But every time she thought about the age difference between herself and Wang Dahai, she felt somewhat disheartened.

At that moment, hearing Wang Dahai's question, her already bashful cheeks blushed even more.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "I'm afraid I might suddenly get pregnant within these six months."

Wang Dahai was startled and immediately understood what she meant.

They had never taken any contraceptive measures between them, so as long as Wang Dahai had no issues, pregnancy was almost a certainty.

Although Lin Wanqiu was thirty, she was healthy and took good care of herself.

According to his estimate, unless something unexpected happened, Lin Wanqiu could likely become pregnant within a month or two.

But by then, Lin Wanqiu had not yet divorced.

That's why she was eager to divorce him as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even if she filed for divorce after half a year, by that time, she would already be pregnant.

Heard by outsiders, it would seem she had an affair during her marriage, stealing another man.

If that were the case, her reputation would be completely ruined.

She hadn't thought so much about it before, otherwise, she would have definitely been more restrained with Wang Dahai.

At the very least, they should have taken some contraceptive measures.

Since the last time they were at a hotel, she hadn't been intimate with Wang Dahai again, also fearing pregnancy.

Wang Dahai nodded and said, "I'll accompany Lawyer Xu there, and by then, I will try to convince Zhang's parents."

Lin Wanqiu smiled faintly and responded with a soft hum.

She was already moved by his thoughtfulness.

As for his promise to persuade, Lin Wanqiu didn't take it too seriously.

If it were that easy to convince them, they would have already divorced.

After returning home and having some takeout, Wang Dahai went to sleep.

The next day, while he was at work, Lawyer Xu suddenly sent him a message, informing him that they would leave for Zhang Hao's parents' house that afternoon.

Wang Dahai was somewhat surprised, not expecting it to be so sudden.

He found Liu Lin, told her about it, and then went home to change his clothes.

Afterward, he took Liu Lin's car keys, drove to the office building where Lawyer Xu worked.

Just before noon, Lawyer Xu came down.

She was still wearing the uniform from the day before, which accentuated her curvaceous figure exceptionally well.

Walking towards him in high heels, her long wavy hair moved with the wind, momentarily mesmerizing Wang Dahai.

Such a woman surely had no shortage of suitors around her usually.

He wondered whether she had a boyfriend or was married.

Caught in a daydream, Lawyer Xu had already opened the car door and sat inside: "Mr. Wang, sorry to have kept you waiting."

"I just arrived myself," Wang Dahai smiled back.

Lawyer Xu said, "Would you mind driving me back home to change my clothes before we go?"

"Sure, no problem."

Her place wasn't far, and within twenty minutes, they arrived at a somewhat old residential complex.

After parking the car, Lawyer Xu invited him to come up and sit for a while.

Wang Dahai gladly accepted.

It was a one-bedroom apartment, not large, but the decor was very cozy.

Seeing Wang Dahai observing the apartment, she kicked off her high heels and walked further inside, smiling as she said, "This is the house I bought; since my boyfriend and I have no immediate plans for marriage or children, I opted for a smaller place."

She has a boyfriend?

Wang Dahai then noticed the men's shoes on the shoe cabinet.
