Chapter 2205: Chapter 2207: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

Jiang Nuan hung up the phone, not feeling she got any constructive advice, but after Lemon’s persuasion, she solidified her inner courage.

Putting down the phone, Jiang Nuan was reflecting on what Lemon had just said.

The words were crude, but on closer thought, they seemed to make a lot of sense.

Fu Yi clearly promised to stay at her place until he retrieved his passport. After she helped examine his leg, he changed his mind, saying he knew a diplomat at the embassy... Given his status, knowing such people isn’t surprising. What’s odd is that it’s been almost two days since he lost his passport, and only now he mentions knowing someone. He’s not a young boy, acting recklessly, sometimes like a hammer, sometimes like a club. He’s known for being steady and smart in their circle, so the possibility of him forgetting is almost zero.

The biggest question now is whether she likes Fu Yi...

Jiang Nuan didn’t need to think; the answer had already appeared in her mind.

A bitter expression appeared on her face, her dark eyes looking at her fingertips. Her nails, thin as Zen, were filed round and smooth, without polish, only a layer of clear protector. She stared at her nails, lost in thought.

Ten years of affection can’t just disappear at a whim.

Saying she doesn’t like him is a lie.

Whether in the past or now, she has never changed. She let go simply because she understood she couldn’t have him and had felt pain and fear.

This time when they divorced, she originally thought she had completely let go.

But his pursuit to Mahali suggested he did have feelings for her, even more than she imagined.

Jiang Nuan sorted out her chaotic thoughts, hesitated no more, picked up her bag, changed her shoes, and hurriedly rushed out the door.

Just as she exited, she bumped into the maid from next door.

The maid was coming out to take out the trash, saw her in a hurry, smiled, and greeted her, "Miss Susan, where are you off to in such a rush?"

Jiang Nuan, her mind full of the embassy, pulled out her car keys as she distractedly replied, "Just going out."

"Oh." The maid’s gaze followed her to the car, hesitated a moment, then ventured, "Have you got guests at home recently?"

Jiang Nuan had already opened the car door, and upon hearing this, she looked up puzzled, "?"

The maid quickly explained, "Don’t get me wrong, I’m not spying on your place." Though, my husband always sits in the living room with binoculars looking across, but I never did that.

"Yesterday I happened to see you leaving as I was cleaning your house."

"Oh."

Jiang Nuan suddenly realized but paid no mind, still eager to leave.

"I have something urgent; let’s chat another day."

The maid craned her neck to glance into the yard, not seeing the person she hoped to, and called out, "Miss Susan, isn’t your friend going with you?"

Why is she so inquisitive today?

Jiang Nuan held back her impatience, checked her watch, and answered, "I’m going out to find him."

"Oh, oh."

The maid hesitated, then finally said to Jiang Nuan in a stammer, "Honestly, your friend looks so much like my husband. Yesterday, I caught a glimpse of him and thought I was seeing my husband."

Jiang Nuan stopped at that, glanced at her, her eyelids slightly quivering, light flickering in her eyes, as if suddenly understanding something, her voice hoarse, "Really? I’ve never seen what my neighbor looks like, so he resembles my friend."

"Yes, they look so much alike, height, back, and profile. If my husband hadn’t returned to the country without yet coming back, I would have thought it was him."
