Chapter 2124: Chapter 2126: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi
In the afternoon, Jiang Nuan completed the discharge procedures and returned to the Rose Garden to recover.
For a whole week, as if there was an agreement between them, Fu Yi didn’t contact her at all.
It was just as well that Jiang Nuan hadn’t decided how to face him yet. Since he didn’t call, she pretended that nothing had happened and began to immerse herself in work, receiving a lot of work documents from colleagues at the overseas research institute every day, working late into the night.
Perhaps she was working too hard; even heaven was moved. A scholarly challenge she hadn’t overcome in two years surprisingly had a breakthrough with a special solution within days.
While celebrating joyfully, colleagues at the institute began to ask when she would return.
"Susan, when are you coming back? We are all waiting for you."
Jiang Nuan looked at Kevin’s message in the group chat and remained silent for a long time.
According to her agreement with Fu Yi, she was supposed to stay in the country for at least three more months, but now that agreement seemed almost meaningless. She wasn’t sure whether she should awkwardly continue to stay here adhering to it.
Nine days had passed seven days already.
The day after tomorrow, he would return.
Outside, the bright moon hung on the treetop, casting a sparse and clear light.
Jiang Nuan sat in the chair for a long, long time, thinking a lot, then finally picked up her phone and sent a message to someone she hadn’t contacted for a long time.
At the same time, under the same moon in Hechuan County, a man with a composed expression left the dining table and told Yi Hengjian, "Excuse me, I need to step out for a moment."
The disaster relief in Hechuan County had ended smoothly, and other leaders were present too. As a hero, his sudden departure made Yi Hengjian want to pull him back, but Fu Yi was already on his feet, so he could only lower his voice, "Come back soon, you know the occasion is different today, and you can’t be absent."
Fu Yi was in no mood to consider what he said, nodded perfunctorily, and quickly stepped out.
Once outside, the night breeze swept over him, clearing much of his intoxication, and he found a quiet spot to take out his phone, nervously opening the message.
It was a message from Jiang Nuan.
In the chat box lay a solitary sentence.
[Let’s void the previous agreement.]
Let’s void the previous agreement!
He held the phone, bitterness filled his eyes and brows. Even though he was mentally prepared for this, seeing her message caused his heart to involuntarily ache with a sharp pain.
He stared at the message for a long time, but still couldn’t bear to let her wait too long. He lowered his head, lightly tapped the phone with his finger.
At the same time, Jiang Nuan’s phone on the table vibrated.
She picked it up, and there was a new message below in the chat box—[Okay].
...
One day later.
At Capital Airport terminal, Lemon gave her a reluctant hug, asking plaintively, "Can’t you stay? Do you really have to go abroad?"
Jiang Nuan couldn’t help but laugh, tapping her forehead, and teased, "I’m just going abroad, not dying. What are you afraid of? When I have time, I’ll come back to see you, and when you have time, you can come to me for a vacation. We’ll be just like before."
Lemon knew by now that she couldn’t be stopped, and hesitated before speaking, "Have you really agreed on divorce with Director Fu?"
"He agreed." After a day of adjustment, Jiang Nuan could now face this matter calmly, at least on the surface.
As for what she felt internally, she didn’t want to delve into it.
