The first time Yun Zhaoxue met Xie Wei was at an outdoor cafe. Several women were fighting over him, while he sat off to one side, watching and sipping his coffee at his leisure.

They met for the second time at her forensic center. Xie Wei came with the police to collect evidence as the plaintiff's lawyer, while she was the forensic examiner in charge of the case.

Sitting in her office, the man looked her over without much interest. After about two minutes, he asked with a sneer, "Are you even an adult? How can anyone trust your results?"

Yun Zhaoxue looked him in the eye and gave a faint smile. "I'm your ancestor. What do you think? Am I an adult?"

A veteran of the legal world and the star name of Qingshan Law Firm, Xie Wei had never been talked back to by a woman before, let alone a sweet-faced, innocent-looking, harmless little softie!

Yun Zhaoxue made a name for herself with that encounter, and also became Xie Wei's nemesis.

.

After they spent more time together, Yun Zhaoxue was mistaken for Xie Wei's girlfriend and became the target of jealousy and sabotage.

When Xie Wei found out, he said coolly, "It's not so bad to be associated with me."

Yun Zhaoxue promptly slapped him and cut off all ties with him.

.

During the first week after Yun Zhaoxue went her own way, Xie Wei was distracted. By the second week, he was growing increasingly absent-minded. After the third week, he was more and more tormented, with every second dragging by like a year.

When he showed up in front of Yun Zhaoxue again, he hadn't even had the chance to ask for forgiveness before a basin of cold water was suddenly thrown in his face.

The young woman stood lazily in the doorway, holding the basin. Mimicking his former arrogance, she retorted, "It's your honor that I deigned to soak you with water."

..

Word of this got around soon afterward, but nobody believed it.

"Lawyer Xie doesn't like innocent, sweet girls. He said so himself. No way!"

Later, at a law firm gathering, a few colleagues saw Xie Wei on the phone. His voice was already slurred with drink, yet he coaxed the woman on the other end with endless tenderness. "Zhaozhao, be good. I like you best. I like you so much it hurts."

Everyone: "..."

Lawyer Xie, you didn't used to say that.

Liar!

**

Xie Wei had always been sure of victory. He had never known defeat.

Yun Zhaoxue was the one fall in his career.

But he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly, and willingly.

A top lawyer, a flirtatious smooth-talker on the outside and a dirty-minded man on the inside X a sweet-smiling, soft and obedient-looking heiress and forensic examiner who thinks, "Screw you," on the inside

#Who says she's a silly, sweet girl? Have you ever seen a forensic examiner who can chop a brick in half with her bare hands?#

I love you, like the blazing sun at forty degrees, forever burning bright.
