Once Upon A One Night Stand

"Because he didn't want to see anyone like his mother who couldn't get divorced and get rid of her husband until she was at her middle age."

Shu Tian had never thought that he had such a pitiful past. In her eyes, he was God's favored one, being so bright and handsome that he was destined to be different from the moment he was born. He should have been a young master that was born superior and grew footloose, with prominent family background. How could he...

Ji Chuanyi met her surprised eyes. He also felt mixed feelings inside, "Everything he owns today is the result of his own effort, not born with."

A person with no background and no backstage couldn't have made such achievements just at the mercy of chance and luck, especially in the legal profession, although there were plenty of people who can make it, but how many of them ended up with good ends?

Dealing with all those shrewd and calculating old foxes was difficult. Except for his gorgeous appearance, how bitter it was, perhaps nobody would know except himself.

Shu Tian was heartbroken. She was so regretful for her prejudices and those unreasonable assumptions, but...

Her eyes flickered. She thought about the phone call that day. Actually, what she cared most about was the unidentified woman on the other end of the phone.

She didn't want to be petty, so she told Ji Chuanyi in the most indirect way she could come up with. She didn't expect that he didn't wait for her to finish. He raised his hand and interrupted, "Li Han couldn't have another woman. You don't have to worry about that."

Shu Tian couldn't understand why he was so sure.

Looking at her puzzled little face, Ji Chuanyi's tone was a little grave, as if it was hard for him to talk about. He paused for a moment and said, "When he was a child, his parents divorced and he was forced to go to a boarding school. He was harassed there. He had no other woman except you."

Shu Tian was greatly stunned.

Harassment?

Was that what she thought?

He was supposed to be a junior high school student then, but he was sent to such a horrible place. Shu Tian did not even dare to imagine the scene. As long as she thought about it, her heart would ache as if it was tightly clenched.

She would rather misunderstand him than hear a truth like this.

"I shouldn't have told you these things, but he was really painful inside. Shu Tian. I hope you can understand him."

Li Han didn't want anyone to take pity on him. He was used to showing his strongest side, but he also lost the ability to love and be loved.

For so many years, he was like an invulnerable and indestructible stone, but the desire for warmth inside had never changed.

He was thirty-two years old, mature enough, and it was time for him to find a companion.

Time would not erase the painful things that had happened before, but a new beginning would. Ji Chuanyi hoped that Shu Tian would be the one who could comfort him.

"I don't know..." Shu Tian's eyes turned red. She thought her current situation was unfortunate enough, but what Li Han had experienced was a hundredfold of her suffering.

She was now an adult and could be responsible for her actions, but he was just a child then.

How desperate had he been?

No wonder Li Han never accepted the cases for divorce. Things would develop in the opposite direction when they became extreme. Because of his painful experience, he entered this industry, but he never wanted to experience such pain again.

In fact, she never really understood him. Subconsciously, people would always express themselves first, forgetting to listen.

Ji Chuanyi patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, "The past is the past. He's not that vulnerable. The present him is the real him. I am telling you these just in the hope that you can understand him. He's a chauvinist, but he cares about you inside. As long as you could understand him, he won't have any temper."

Shu Tian didn't care about anything else at this time. She nodded immediately, "I misunderstood him. It was my fault anyway."

Ji Chuanzhu thought she must have some petty intrigues, but he didn't expect that she was so simple.

For a moment, he trusted Shu Tian more, "Well, I'll ask around about his recent whereabouts indirectly and let you know then."

Shu Tian beamed, "Thank you, Boss Ji."

Ji Chuanyi waved, "We are friends. Stop calling me Boss Li. Call me Brother Chuanyi from now on."

Although Shu Tian was a little awkward, she still called out obediently, "Brother Chuanyi."

"All right, have a good rest. I've just asked Junze that you would be discharged in two days. Don't worry, Li Han and I would help with the public relations."

Shu Tian was very grateful. She stood at the door and didn't turn back until Ji Chuanyi disappeared from her sight.

If she had been anxious for all sorts of trivial things before, then Ji Chuanyi's arrival undoubtedly gave Shu Tian a reassurance.

Two days later, when she was discharged, Ling Junze prescribed a lot of health medicine without side effects to her. It was developed by his own independent research center, not available on the market. Shu Tian thought that although she had never taken advantage of Li Han, his friends were really good to her.

It was just that she had never seen Li Han during all her time in hospital. Now that she still had to hide from the gossip, she couldn't go to the company. Moreover, Shu Changlei and Ye Lihua were worried about her, so she was taken back to HongYuan Community.

That man seemed to have disappeared from her life, and they had returned to the previous state.

Until one day, Shu Tian saw the company's statement on the official website of the Hanyi Law Office--

"In view of various media speculation and assumption in recent days, the Hanyi Law Office has the following statement."

"First, Shu Tian is indeed an employee of our company. She did not enter the Hanyi Law Office by abnormal means, but by the ritual social recruitment that held twice a year. She has not passed the internship period yet and there were no 'hidden rules'."

"Second, Mr. Li Han wasn't in charge of Shu Tian's divorce case, but our lawyer, Wu Wenyuan. He can further certify this."

"Third, Li Han, the chairman and the general manager of the Hanyi Law Office, has no improper relationship with Shu Tian."

"Fourth, regarding the rumor, we will probe it to the bottom and investigate the relevant media and personnel. Please supervise the follow-up development and stay tuned."

The statement was short and clear, ending with a red seal of the Hanyi Law Office.

Shu Tian heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was amazed at Li Han's meticulousness. He could already know that Tang Zechen would play tricks.

She thought that no matter how rogue Tang Zechen was, he would not use his child to gain sympathy. It turned out that she still did not know him. In order to achieve his goal, he would do whatever he could. She even felt sorry for Jiang Mengyao that she was just a tool to Tang Zechen.

Did he really love Jiang Mengyao?

No, he only loved himself.

Shu Tian sat on the sofa in a daze. The phone in her hand suddenly vibrated. She received a message including an address: VIP room 005, Muse Club, No.72 Jiangyan Road, and one sentence, "Li Han is here tonight."

Sender: Ji Chuanyi

Shu Tian felt a thump inside, followed by an irregular and raced heartbeat.

She stared at the message for a while, then locked the phone and left it on the table. She leaned back onto the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He was there tonight.

Go, or not?
