“Don't drink coffee at night, you won't be able to fall asleep later . Have some Pu Er tea instead . It's not as potent as caffeine but it can help sharpen you up a little without affecting your sleep . It's pretty good,” Yan Huaian explained .
He made her a pot of Pu Er tea and poured a cup for Yu Zi to drink while she worked .
After that, he quietly sat aside to read a book . He did not turn on the television in case it disturbed her work .
Yan Huaian did not give any comments professionally nor did he ask her much about the work she was doing . All he did was accompany her in total silence and it made Yu Zi feel comfortable .
She felt like she would never feel tired as long as he was there by her side . His presence did not act as a distraction, instead, it helped her focus on her work .
It was now that she realized how nice it was to have someone accompany her quietly .
He had unknowingly influenced her with his silence and maturity and with the way he conducted himself around her . It helped her calm down and she was able to be at her best in her work .
She had finished prepping her work at around 11 pm .
Yan Huaian looked at the time and reminded her, “You better go to sleep now . You need to be at your best for tomorrow . ”
He stayed while Yu Zi compliantly put her work stuff away .
After brushing her teeth and cleaning up, he was still around . This made Yu Zi slightly nervous .
Was he thinking about staying the night there?
Yan Huaian smiled while he explained, “I'll go home after you go to sleep . ”
Yu Zi blushed and quickly went to her room before changing into her sleeping clothes . She found the least transparent shirt she could find as she did not dare put on her usual white t-shirt .
Yan Huaian watched while she got into bed . Yu Zi pulled up the covers over herself as much as possible, revealing only her head . Even her chin was hidden beneath the covers .
“I'm… I'm going to sleep now,” Yu Zi said nervously .
Yan Huaian could not help laughing . He really could not bear to leave her .

Especially when she was lying on the bed .
It would be abnormal if he was able to walk away without a second thought at this time .
“You can leave now,” Yu Zi said but realized her tone felt a little unfriendly .
So, she said much more tenderly, “You should go home… And remember to rest early . ”
As he watched this little lady wrapped up tightly in bed like a dumpling, Yan Huaian knew exactly what was going through her head .
He let out a laugh but did not leave . Instead, he walked to the side of the bed .
Yu Zi grabbed onto the covers nervously . The shadow above her head got bigger and wider .
Yan Huaian's hands were at both sides of her shoulder . He reached forward to give her a kiss on the lips . A good-looking smile appeared on his face . “Good night . ”
The light fragrance of tea spread on her lips as he spoke . Yu Zi's lips trembled . She did not dare to breathe .
“Good night,” she replied quietly .
Yan Huaian was so tempted to pull her into his arms and touch her everywhere the moment he saw how delicate and gentle she looked .
It was such a tribulation to see the woman he was interested in lying in bed right in front of him when he was not allowed to do anything to her .
It did not help that she appeared so defenseless and delicate . Yan Huaian could not tell if he was holding back the urge or that he was feeling helpless about his situation . He suddenly lunged at her, pulling her away from the bed and into his arms . He kissed her viciously and passionately for a long time .
Yu Zi could hardly breathe from the kiss and it was only then that he let her go .
Yan Huaian then moved in at her suddenly again and gave her another ferocious kiss before saying unhappily in a husky voice, “I'm going home now . ”
Yu Zi was taken completely by surprise by his passionate attack and it made her too dazed to even give him a reply .
Yan Huaian knew that if he stayed, he would never be able to leave . He unwillingly moved his daze away from her face .

Those lips were swollen from his kissing, but they were deadly attractive to him right then .
But he saw a strange look on Yu Zi's face's face .
His gaze followed hers downwards .
Ahem…
Yan Huaian did not even bother to hide it . Rather, he straightened his back and allowed her to see him in full glory . He had to let her know how difficult it was for him to hold back his urge and how much he really wanted her .
Yu Zi did not expect him to be so thick-skinned . She closed her eyes and stopped looking at him .
Yan Huaian took the opportunity to quickly say, “I'm going off now . ”
He turned to make his escape . He was worried that he was going to make the situation worse .
Yu Zi did not see him leave as she had her eyes closed .
It was after a while before she reopened them . Yan Huaian was no longer around . She had always thought of Yan Huaian as someone who would be able to keep calm even when acting like a hooligan .
However, how was she supposed to go to sleep tonight after Yan Huaian's big seduction?
Her mouth was filled with the taste of him . Her lips could still feel his warmth and the fragrance of lemon . The moment she closed her eyes, all she could see was his face and the blush-worthy act of what they did replay in her mind .
Yu Zi grunted and covered herself up completely while lying face down in bed . Her face was buried into her pillow .
The next day, Yu Zi went directly to court from her house to meet Song Dashen .
In order to make sure everything went smoothly for her, Yan Huaian woke up earlier than usual .

Yu Zi had no idea what time she went to sleep last night . It was all Yan Huaian's fault . He was the one that pushed her to go to bed earlier, yet he had to do those things that made it difficult for her to fall asleep .
The weird thing was, she actually managed to wake up early this morning without the help of the alarm on her phone .
She must have been thinking about the case and today was an especially important day for her . That was why she woke up without any help .
Yan Huaian had prepared a cup of hot cocoa for her . He was worried that if she drank too much water, she might feel the need to visit the washroom when she got nervous . Which was why he prepared sandwiches for her breakfast . He made sure it was not salty and added salad as well to make her breakfast refreshing .
Yan Huaian ruffled her hair as he accompanied her to the entrance of the courthouse . “You should go in . I believe in you . You'll do a great job . ”
Yu Zi nodded . “I'll tell you the results when it's over . ”
“Okay,” Yan Huaian had his own plans but did not share them with her .
He watched as Yu Zi entered the courthouse . Yan Huaian did not leave immediately and sat in his car, waiting patiently .
Yan Huaian stepped out of his car when the court session was just starting . He walked into the courthouse and quietly snuck in for the court session . He sat at the corner of the last row .
He did not want Yu Zi to see him . He was worried it would affect her performance if she saw he was watching . It might distract her or make her nervous .
He sat in the corner and watched as his woman made her case in course . Her questioning silenced the witness and the evidence she handed up made the opposition's expression sour .
She stood confidently in court and if she was nervous on the inside, it certainly did not show at all .
He could see a shadow of Yu Zi who had first appeared at Yan Hui . The Yu Zi now was much more confident than she was then .
There was a twinkle in Yan Huaian's eyes . He could hardly hear what Yu Zi was saying, even the sound of his surroundings was lost . The only person in his eyes right now was this woman, who was gesturing about in court, her movements, smile, and her confidence was all that he could see .
When the presiding judge announced Zhao Yuxuan to be innocent and released from jail, Zhao Yuxuan's parents cried profusely while they hugged each other .
Even Mr . Zhao, who was usually calm and collected, broke down crying . Both husband and wife felt tremendous relief as they could not stop thanking Yu Zi and Song Dashen .
Song Dashen and Yuzi comforted them . Song Dashen reminded them, “You should go out to pick Zhao Yuxuan up . He should be released soon . ”
Mrs . Zhao was startled and nodded continuously . “We'll come by one day to personally thank both of you . ”

“There's no need for that . We're just doing our job . Besides, Zhao Yuxuan is innocent,” said Song Dashen .
Mr . Zhao helped Mrs . Zhao out of the courtroom .
Yu Zi gave a sigh of relief . Only now did she feel a little weak in the knees .
“Now you're nervous?” Song Dashen laughed .
Yu Zi exhaled and said, “I would never dare to be nervous in court even if I did feel that way . ”
“You did good,” Song Dashen nodded and praised her .
A wide smile broke out on Yu Zi's face as she blushed . It was like getting praise from a teacher .
She quickly kept away her things and followed Song Dashen out .
Most of the people had left the courtroom . Yu Zi turned to see Yan Huaian standing in the upper corner of the courtroom . He stared at her with a certain tenderness in his eyes .
Yu Zi blinked hard . She must be seeing things .
But when she opened her eyes, Yan Huaian was still standing there and smiling at her .
Song Dashen smiled and said, “You're not seeing things . That is really Yan Huaian . You should go to him . ”
He looked at the time . “It's lunchtime now . You can return to the office after having lunch . There's no hurry . ”
Yu Zi gave Song Dashen an apologetic look . Song Dashen walked away with a smile .
Yu Zi walked slowly toward Yan Huaian . She could not hide the happy look on her face . “What are you doing here?”
“Today was your first time as lead counsel . How could I miss it? I was just worried that I would distract you, so I didn't tell you about it,” said Yan Huaian .
“You've been here the whole time since dropping me off?” Yu Zi asked in surprise .
Yan Huaian did not reply and admitted to it . She blushed and told a white lie, “You would never distract me by being here . ”
“Are you sure?” Yan Huaian lowered his head as he got nearer to her . His lips brushed against her ear as he asked quietly .
