Ever since Gu Xuehan discovered the relationship between Qi Xi and Gu Yan, Qi Xi, in order to prove that her office romance wasn't affecting her work, became even more diligent. She genuinely wanted to perform well at Jinghe alongside Gu Xuehan. She didn't want Gu Xuehan to think she was relying on her relationship with Gu Yan to enjoy the benefits of her gender. Consequently, she worked even harder than usual.
These past two days, Rong City had been experiencing continuous heavy rain. As a result, Gu Xuehan had assigned several field tasks, such as filing cases or submitting litigation documents, to Gu Yan. However, Qi Xi, to demonstrate that she had no intention of relying on her connections to gain advantages, stubbornly snatched a few of those field assignments from Gu Yan.
The court where Qi Xi needed to file a case this time was in the suburbs of Rong City. The rain was heavier than expected, and the wind was so strong that it even broke Qi Xi's umbrella. Taxis were also extremely difficult to find. By the time Qi Xi finished submitting the materials and came out, she had no choice but to rely on public transportation. However, the nearest bus stop was quite a walk away. By the time Qi Xi finally boarded the bus, she looked like a drowned rat.
