Ten minutes later, Jian Hang received the company charter from Secretary Gao. She spent two hours studying the contents, checking the matters that she was particularly concerned about, and listed the conditions for her to go to Lemeng one by one.

After finishing her work, at eleven o’clock, Jian Hang changed her clothes and went out.

Aunt Geng saw that she was about to go out, “Xiao Hang, aren’t you staying for lunch?”

She had spent the whole morning preparing the ingredients.

“Auntie, I’ll be back soon. I’m just going to the bookstore.”

“Okay, then you go ahead.”

Jian Hang drove the coupe that Qin Moling gave her and headed to the bookstore.

On the way, she received a call from her best friend.

“What are you doing?”

Jian Hang smiled, “Just wandering around. I have a lot of free time now.”

Her best friend chatted with her only after she learned that Jian Hang had officially resigned today. She was usually too busy and used her lunch break to play games, so her best friend seldom bothered her.

“I will go back there early next month.”

Jian Hang was pleasantly surprised to hear this; someone could finally accompany her while shopping. “How long will you stay?”

Her best friend said, “Let’s talk about it later. Have you decided when to have your wedding yet?”

“We are still discussing it at home, but it should be soon.”

Since it would be soon, her best friend stopped muttering about Qin Moling. “Lulu and I are waiting for your wedding to embarrass him. We will crush him and his groomsmen until they lose all desire to live!”

Jian Hang smiled and said, “That’s fine.”

Her best friend said, “Lulu may return to China at about the same time as me. We’ll visit you when we come back. I have to read one more case then go to bed right after that because I have to get up early tomorrow.”

There was a time difference, and it was already late at my her best friend’s place.

“Good night,” Jian Hang hung up the phone.

She and her two best friends had only known each other for five or six years, but they had very similar personalities and could talk about anything.

At the beginning, one of them was Yinlin’s partner, and the other was Yinlin’s client. She was not in the same circle as them.

During the cooperation, they often got together and talked about work and occasionally some personal topics.

They were the kind of beauties who could drive a different sports car out every day, seven days a week, and they were also very hardworking.

Because of their different family backgrounds and identities, even though they got along well, Jian Hang never thought that she could become friends with them just because of a collaboration.

Because of her work, she often came into contact with people from powerful circles, but after the cooperation ended, the relationship gradually faded.

No big client would seriously regard the person in charge of Party B as a friend—there were only a transactions based on interests.

But after the cooperation with them ended, the contact did not break off.

From time to time, the two of them would go to her apartment for a meal, and she would cook a table of home-cooked dishes. Later, when she met Tan Feng, she would invite Tan Feng to get together with them.

Most of the time the three of them get together, drink some wine, and don’t talk about work or family matters, but only talk about some emotional issues.

The two were still rookies in playing the online game, and both became her little fans. The reason why she and these two became best friends was mainly due to the game.

In fact, it was more tiring for her to play games with these two beauties than with Qin Xing and Lin Xiao.

Fortunately, she returned to China later, and due to the time difference, the two of them rarely contacted her to bring them out and play.

The car stopped in the parking space in front of the bookstore. Jian Hang found her sunglasses, put them on, and pushed the door open.

The book she planned to buy today was a little special. She didn’t want to show her face to others, so she wore sunglasses to cover up.

When checking out, the staff scanned the code and couldn’t help but take another look at the woman in front of her. Although she couldn’t see her eyes because she was wearing sunglasses, her nose, face shape, skin, and especially her temperament were all top-notch.

The staff was really wondering, did such a beautiful woman still need to read books on upgrading love skills?

… …

Back in the car, Jian Hang threw the book onto the passenger seat and drove home.

She and Qin Moling were already husband and wife, and they have already done everything they should do. Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to make Qin Moling fall in love with her. It would definitely not work to pursue him according to the usual way.

Thus, she planned to read this book. As long as there was something in it that could inspire her, it would be worth buying.

When she got home, she went upstairs to the study first.

There were not many books in Qin Moling’s study here. Most of them were in the apartment. When he first moved here, he only brought a few of them symbolically to fill the bookshelves.

Jian Hang searched the two bookshelves and finally found a book with a removable dust cover. It was a book on patent litigation and it talked about some classic cases.

She took off the dust cover and put it on the book on love tips that she just bought.

Worried that the book and the cover would separate, for safety reasons, she tore off a little bit of double-sided tape and stuck the book and the ‘borrowed’ high-quality dust cover together.

She didn’t want Qin Moling to know that she read this kind of books.

… …

At around two o’clock in the afternoon, Qin Moling came back from work.

Jian Hang was in the living room, reading a book on the sofa. There was a plate of fruit on the coffee table. She was so engrossed in reading that she didn’t even have time to eat the fruit.

“You back,” Jian Hang greeted him then continued reading.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to give this book an intellectual dust cover.

Qin Moling took a special look at the cover. He had an impression of this book. He bought it a year ago and had read it once. The cases in it were quite good.

Jian Hang used to work on merger and acquisition projects, which often involved patent rights. Qin Moling didn’t find it strange that she was reading this book.

Qin Moling put down his bag. He had put the three figurines that Qin Xing had given him into the bag and took them back home with him.

Now was Lemeng’s peak sales season, and there were many things to do, so he didn’t have much time to rest. But she wanted to pursue him at this time, so he could only squeeze out time for her to arrange a date.

After pouring a glass of water, he sat down opposite Jian Hang.

But an hour passed, then two hours passed, and Jian Hang never looked up from her book.

Qin Moling did not interrupt her reading, but looked at her thoughtfully.

Did she really take to heart what she said in bed that night about pursuing him?
