“Yes. He’s six years old. I’ll accept a bank transfer for your belated gift money,” An Yibei said calmly before hanging up.
Over on the other end, Tang Yuan looked petrified.
Holy crap! An Yibei had a son!

The next day.
An Yibei took Ai Bao to their firm in Ye City.
The Ye City branch was pretty much the same as the one in Yu City, but the work environment over here was nicer and their colleagues were also more friendly. Ai Bao got used to the new place before the day ended.
That evening, An Yibei took Ai Bao out for dinner, when he ran into the director of Falling Leaf Law Firm.
The two men exchanged smiles, greeted each other politely, then went their separate ways.
However, Ai Bao was reminded of an expression when she saw the looks on their faces: Hiding a dagger in a smile!
Falling Leaf was the other party in the case An Yibei was running, and the two firms were long-time enemies. Employees on both sides would gladly go for each other’s throats whenever they met. There was no way the two men could be as friendly as they seemed.
“Mr. An, are you sure you can win this case?” Ai Bao was concerned.
An Yibei smiled like an old fox. “Nope.”
“Then why are you still smiling?!”
“It’s not that big a deal.” An Yibei rubbed his chin. “If Falling Leaf wants to give all they got, be my guest. I’m not joining that circus.”
Ai Bao was speechless. “How… how can you do that? They worked so hard on this. You can at least play along…”
An Yibei shrugged. “It’s their choice. Although, I suppose I can win, if that’s what you want…”
“Are you going to win if I want you to?” Ai Bao pursed her lips.
An Yibei narrowed his eyes, his tone serious. “I will, if you do.”
Ai Bao nodded dumbly. “I do!”
After staring at her with his brooding black eyes for ten seconds, An Yibei chuckled.
“Alright.”
That was all he said, but Ai Bao suddenly felt like the most confident person in the world.

Ai Bao witnessed what An Yibei was like when he put his mind to something.
Before, she had always thought that An Yibei could win any case with ease. He was haughty and sharp-tongued in court, and could defeat his opponent without breaking a sweat.
But he looked even more terrifying in this state.
If An Yibei was a nuclear missile before, he had just turned into a fully weaponized aircraft carrier!
When the court opened session on Wednesday, An Yibei dominated the courtroom in an invincible manner and won the lawsuit with his incisive argument.
At the end of the session, the face of the chief lawyer of Falling Leaf almost turned green.
An Yibei smiled at the guy. “Keep up your good work.”
… Keep, my ass! My work is pointless as long as you’re around!
The lawyer of Falling Leaf vented his sarcasm inwardly, but still had to act as if nothing had happened. “Heh.. Mr. An is much sharper than I was told…”
“You flatter me,” An Yibei said perfunctorily.
The guy turned to leave, but An Yibei followed him out. “Mr. Wei, would you join me for a cup of tea?”
Blue veins popped in the corner of Mr. Wei’s forehead. “Mr. An, exactly what do you want from me?! To humiliate me further over tea?”
An Yibei looked enlightened. “I can do that?”
Mr. Wei was speechless.
Frustrated, he marched toward his own firm, while An Yibei followed him at an unhurried pace.
The court was right next to Falling Leaf.
Xiaomi spotted An Yibei as soon as he walked in.
She bit her lip nervously, thinking that he had found out about her betrayal.
However, An Yibei walked right past her, as if she wasn’t even there.
Xiaomi’s face drained of all color.
Compared with a counterattack, being ignored was a much harder blow.
And she had been ignored completely.
