Chapter Nine, the true form is revealed

Cong Rong worked overtime in the office until the peak hours had passed before driving home. When she stopped her car in the community parking lot, she noticed Wen Shaoqing's car parked diagonally opposite her. She sat in her car, staring at that vehicle, suddenly feeling a sense of unavoidable fate.

Cong Rong was pondering whether it was inappropriate to sit and wait for a meal as a freeloader when suddenly the phone on the low table in front of the sofa vibrated.

Wen Shaoqing felt somewhat puzzled, "What happened?"

Cong Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Let it go to the study."

Cong Rong could not be bothered to pay him any attention

What is he telling you this for?

Wen Shaoqing turned off the fire, while serving dishes to the outdoor dining table and giving pointers to Cong Rong, "Most of the time, when it pounces on you, it is just playing; this indicates that it remembers you and acknowledges you. It can be quite mischievous; if it finds your reaction amusing every time it pounces on you, then... haven't you noticed that it is always eager to leap onto you when it sees you? You shouldn't show that you are afraid of it; once it realizes you are scared, it will pounce on you even more. If you remain calm, it will lose interest."...

If you remain calm, it will lose interest.

Last time when I came, Cong Rong didn't notice, but this time I found out that Wen Shaoqing is quite a character... a pervert

Cong Rong stopped him, saying, "Don't buy too much; it won't be fresh if left for too long. One bottle will suffice."

No, Sister Cong, my delicate heart is very fragile. You cannot expose me to too much darkness, or I will see through the worldly affairs and become a nun

He probably just got off work, and his attire is not the casual homewear I saw him in during previous encounters

Cong Rong leisurely gathered the net, "Do you still remember that I am a partner?"

Tan Sizhe was at a loss for words, "You are the hallmark of our criminal defense; what will we do if you no longer continue?"

It's nothing, just casual conversation. He said your surgical skills are impressive and casually mentioned something about being "clear and distinct".

The office door was closed, and Cong Rong took another look at the documents on the corner of the desk. Since she entered the profession, she had not taken on any medical cases, and those in the industry all knew this. In fact, medical cases are the easiest to win; in the face of existing laws and social realities, medical personnel are a vulnerable group. Regardless of whether it is a medical accident, patients are mostly likely to win, and hospitals will pay to settle the matter quietly. ... She cannot stop others from taking these cases, but at least she can choose not to take them herself, because ... .

He is also someone who lives on the edge every day, and if he is not careful ... ... Every time she sees a medical case, she feels a deep-seated aversion, and she genuinely does not want to see such things happen.

You can only become a monk at most

Among the many talented young individuals she has encountered, most are making a name for themselves in their respective fields, yet very few are men who are also devoted to their families

Cong Rong had been silently complaining about him for half a day, but as soon as she picked up the food with her chopsticks and brought it to her mouth, her attitude changed immediately

Wen Shaoqing probably couldn't get away and replied, "Could you please bring it to me?"

Cong Rong was speechless; she had inadvertently become a rival in the competition for affection.

Come on, you originally came from a criminal defense background

This rib is also delicious, but it is too spicy; I do not eat spicy food

Cong Rong was excitedly waving her chopsticks, completely devoid of her usual calm and serious demeanor. Wen Shaoqing stared at her for a long time, his expression somewhat complicated, "How come I never noticed before... you are actually a foodie?"

Hmm... this yam is also delicious

Wen Shaoqing served her a bowl of soup and casually remarked, "The ordinary chopsticks from the supermarket, I carved them myself."

Cong Rong felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this; he must have intentionally imitated her! Lawyer Cong is indeed a lawyer! There was nothing wrong with that!

Cong Rong glanced at her phone screen, where the words "Qin Chu" were flashing repeatedly. Seeing this name made her feel a sudden discomfort, and she thought it might be that the hospital had an urgent patient needing to call him back. She then shouted towards the kitchen, "The phone is ringing, your colleague is looking for you!"

Wen Shaoqing raised an eyebrow at her, "Are you sure?"

Why is that? Female lawyers who practice criminal defense are highly respected. Did you not notice that every time you appear in court, even the presiding judge looks at you with a degree of admiration

Cong Rong had just picked up her phone when Rang Yi Rang suddenly charged in front of her, glaring at her with a fierce gaze

Professor Wen? It seems I have called him old.

In addition to being particular about details, Cong Rong also has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. She cannot drink other brands. She casually picked up a bottle and handed it over, tentatively suggesting: "Actually, this brand is quite good too."

Cong Rong stood in place, hesitating whether to walk away or to go over and greet, when Wen Shaoqing looked up and glanced over.

Wen Shaoqing suddenly smiled, "Shall we have dinner together?"

Cong Rong looked over and then glanced at Wen Shaoqing, always feeling that there was more to his words than met the eye

Cong Rong pointed to his shopping cart and said, "I want that bottle"

This eggplant is delicious! How is it made

Cong Rong turned her head and stood in front of the refrigerator, selecting yogurt. After looking around, she finally realized that the brand she was accustomed to had only one bottle left, and that bottle was being held by Wen Shaoqing.

Cong Rong truly believes that Wen Shaoqing's knife skills are exceptional, to the point of being abnormal. Just how bored must he be to think of carving flowers on chopsticks

Cong Rong is still hiding in the corner by the door, "I know it won't bite..."

"Are we really going to switch to non-litigation?" After receiving a positive response, Tan Sizhe shook his head and sighed as he walked out, "Alas, another female lawyer in litigation is gone..."

As she exited the supermarket, Wen Shaoqing looked at her with a gentle smile while she retrieved her suitcase from the storage area, and the question he posed remained infuriating, "Aren't you going to continue sleeping at the law firm?"

Upon hearing this address, a flicker of surprise crossed Wen Shaoqing's eyes, which was soon replaced by a smile. He playfully mimicked her form of address and replied, "What a coincidence, Lawyer Cong"

While Wen Shaoqing was cooking, Cong Rong felt embarrassed to stand by and watch him. Suddenly, she remembered the handwritten medical notes she had seen last time at Zhong Zheng's place, and she wanted to go to the study to take a look. However, thinking about the presence of someone in the study, she decisively gave up the idea and could only sit on the sofa in the living room, feeling utterly bored.

The female voice over there seemed to laugh and say something again. Wen Shaoqing, this time, gazed deeply at Cong Rong before responding: "Forget it, I have friends here, it's not convenient." He then quickly hung up the phone, handed the mobile to Cong Rong, washed his hands, and began to add salt to the pot.

Senior Brother! Cong Rong suddenly called out to Tan Sizhe, "I plan to switch to non-litigation in two years. I know you recently took on a project for a listed company, please guide me through it."

Cong Rongcai raised her hand and greeted with a "hi," but then she hesitated, as she did not know how to address Wen Shaoqing

Wen Shaoqing chuckled softly, turned on the light, and bent down to pat Ranjian's head, saying, "It is very well-behaved and won't bite."

Cong Rong was startled and immediately turned to enter the kitchen, instinctively feeling that staying next to Wen Shaoqing was the safest option

Wen Shaoqing stood in front of the dining table and called to her: "Come over and eat."

Cong Rong could sense that Wen Shaoqing's demeanor towards this Qin Chu was marked by a certain detachment, contrary to what Zhong Zhen had speculated. She tentatively asked, "Are you going back to the hospital to work overtime?"

"Not at all." Cong Rong sensed that if the topic was not changed soon, something would go wrong. She quickly noticed that the person who had followed her in was looking at her with an unfriendly gaze, so she leaned a little closer to Wen Shaoqing and asked, "What happened to it?"

Is it appropriate to directly call him Wen Shaoqing? It seems somewhat impolite

It is a bit strange to call him boss following Zhong Zheng

She pointed at the pattern on the chopsticks and asked, "These chopsticks are quite unique, and they even have carvings. Where did you buy them?"

Wen Shaoqing handed the bottle she suggested back to her, but Cong Rong had no intention of accepting it

Cong Rong glanced at him and said, "Are you concerned because the attorney fees for criminal cases are high? In fact, there are many non-litigation services in criminal law as well. For instance, last year's corporate criminal legal risk prevention project, didn't you make a substantial profit from it?"

"No need, my colleague invited me out for dinner. I heard that since I am cooking, they want to come to my house to eat, but I declined." After Wen Shaoqing briefly explained, he suddenly asked, "How did you know that Qin Chu is my colleague?"

Now she had no choice but to muster her courage and walk over to greet him, "Hi ... ..."

I like my mother

Wen Shaoqing turned his head to take a glance and replied with a smile, "Oh, just think about it."

Wen Shaoqing glanced at the person who was making way, then looked at her and said, "Perhaps... you took its job. Usually, when my phone rings, it brings it to me."

Cong Rong fiercely snatched the bottle of yogurt from his hand and turned to the cash register to pay, with Wen Shaoqing closely following behind

Perhaps that smile was too captivating, and Cong Rong, having been enchanted, stood in front of his house waiting for him to open the door. At that moment, she suddenly wanted to back out

Cong Rong looked outside; the night wind was quite strong. She spoke, "Let it stay here; the balcony seems rather cold..."

There are two types of food enthusiasts. One type sees nothing as inedible, consuming a wide variety of foods without discrimination. The other type, perhaps like Cong Rong, is quite picky and discerning, with a strong tendency to conceal their preferences. On a daily basis, they appear completely unremarkable, but once they encounter something delicious, their eyes light up, revealing their true nature

Um... due to a lack of words, after hesitating for a while, I can only speak the truth, "Zhong Zhen told me."

Wen Shaoqing wiped his hands and answered the call, not knowing what was said on the other end. He quickly replied, "No, I'm in the middle of something, and I'll be ready to eat soon."

Wen Shaoqing silently glanced at her, took the bottle of yogurt from her hand, and placed it in the shopping cart along with the bottle he was originally holding

Cong Rong had only made half a turn in the supermarket when she unexpectedly ran into Wen Shaoqing

Tan Sizhe plunged headlong into the trap, "You are also one of the senior partners, right? My profits are your profits!"

After a few seconds of deliberation, she decisively spoke: "Doctor Wen."

He is looking down at the production date of the yogurt in his hand, while a few bags of vegetables and fruits are placed in the shopping cart beside him

Wen Shaoqing lightly coughed to suppress a laugh, "Make way, you go play on the balcony for a while."

Cong Rong maintained a calm demeanor as he nonsensically remarked, "The law firm turns off the heating at night, it's too cold"

Wen Shaoqing's key point is well grasped, "Do you often talk about me?"

In winter, it gets dark early. As soon as the door was opened, a shadow rushed over, and Cong Rong immediately hid behind Wen Shaoqing
