1364 The Pain of Yearning Was Unbearable

With these words, everyone knew that Jian Ai would be away for a long time this time. Otherwise, she would have said a fixed time.

Lin Yi was even more disappointed.

He knew that Jian Ai treated him as a friend, and he had long gotten over their relationship, let alone do anything out of line because he liked Jian Ai. His only wish was to always be by her side, even as a friend.

However, now that Jian Ai suddenly said that she wanted to leave, Lin Yi, with his feelings which had nowhere to be placed, became a lonely soul. He didn’t even have anything to rely on.

Since it had already been decided, no matter how reluctant they were, everyone could only brace themselves and wish Jian Ai all the best. Jian Ai also rejected Xia Qinghuan’s suggestion to send Jian Ai off.

There was not much time left, and she did not have time to say goodbye to everyone, so there was no need for these farewell meals.

Ji Group, CEO’s office.

It was almost the end of the year, and the Ji Group had entered the year-end summary stage. As the CEO, Ji Haoyu has been busy recently.

At this moment, he was sitting at his desk and flipping through the documents in his hand. Under his focused expression, his handsome face was cold and gloomy.

A short message notification suddenly sounded on the phone at the side. Ji Haoyu, who was initially focused, quickly picked up the phone as if by reflex. The moment he opened the message, his expression could not help but leak. He did not even look at the content on the phone before pressing the return button.

He looked up at the window. At this moment, the sun was strong, and it shone warmly through the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating the entire office. Ji Haoyu could not help but purse his lips helplessly. Then, he picked up his phone and found Jian Ai’s number.

However, his beautiful fingers stopped on the blue button and he did not press it for a long time.

“Sigh!”

After a while, Ji Haoyu sighed deeply and whispered, “How long does this annoying girl want me to wait?!”

When they parted last time, Xiao Ai said that she would consider his confession, so he never contacted her to give her enough space and time.

In the end, a month had passed, but he didn’t see her or any replies.

Ji Haoyu scratched his head and finally put down his phone. He was anxious, but he also knew that more haste, less speed.

However, the pain of yearning was unbearable. In twenty-three years, Ji Haoyu had never missed someone so much. As long as he was free, his mind would be filled with thoughts of her. That was why he worked crazily to distract himself.

However, this girl had considered it for too long. Or had she forgotten her words back then?

Previously, Auntie Mei said that she went to Yemen. He wondered if she had returned to China.

When he looked up, the sun was still high outside the window, but it was snowing heavily on this sunny day.

Jian Ai was discharged that afternoon. Although the blood bump on her forehead was a little shocking, all the examinations were normal. The doctor also said that she did not need to be hospitalized.

Moreover, she was pressed for time and did not have time for the hospital. Xiao Zhen had given her medicine to reduce the swelling, so it should work soon.

It was the weekend, so Jian Ai followed Jian Yu back to Bihai Luxury Villa.

Seeing her like this, her mother and aunt’s family couldn’t help but be shocked. Fortunately, Jian Yu helped explain. Knowing that Jian Ai was fine, everyone was relieved.

Jian Ai didn’t delay and told her family that she would leave for a while.

She had always been independent and opinionated, but this sudden decision caught everyone off guard. Fortunately, Jian Ai had already thought of an excuse, which relieved her worried family.

After spending another two days, Jian Ai asked Wu Bi and Uncle Chen Lei out for a meal alone. It could be considered a simple explanation and farewell.

The next night, Jian Ai arranged to meet a special person.

At Rossen West Restaurant, Jian Ai appeared in the restaurant with a swollen forehead that had not completely subsided. It was not yet the peak period. Jian Ai looked around and saw Jian Yichen, who had arrived early.

“You’re very punctual.” Jian Ai smiled at Jian Yichen as he walked in.

Jian Yichen’s attention was on Jian Ai’s head. His good-looking face couldn’t help but frown like a bun. He said with a questioning but concerned expression, “What’s wrong with your head? Why is it so swollen?”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile. She raised her hand to touch the redness that didn’t hurt anymore and said indifferently, “I accidentally had a bump. It’s been a few days, and it’s already subsided a lot. It was twice as big before.”

Seeing that Jian Ai could still smile, Jian Yichen sighed like a young adult. He didn’t want to show too much concern, but he couldn’t help but look at her head.

This awkward appearance was indeed Jian Yichen.

Jian Ai knew this, but she didn’t tease him. Before leaving this time, Jian Ai initially didn’t plan to see Jian Yichen. However, after thinking about it, she asked him out.

For some reason, Jian Ai felt that there was an indescribable bond between her and Jian Yichen. Not only did this bond not become stronger after Jian Ai knew he was her brother, but it also became more confusing and inexplicable!

However, Jian Ai didn’t think this was kinship because she had no feelings for Jian Yiyi.

However, if this was not kinship, what should it be? This was the real strange part!

Similarly, Jian Ai believed she was not as simple as an ordinary senior to Jian Yichen. Not that Jian Ai was overthinking. Even if Jian Ychen was a very awkward person, he was not hiding his strength. Jian Ai could feel he was special.

Their eyes met. Jian Ai looked at Jian Yichen’s childish face. Jian Yichen looked at the bump on Jian AI’s head and fell silent.

“You two can order now.” The waiter came forward to break the silence.

The two of them came back to their senses. Jian Yichen pretended to be calm and looked down at the menu. Jian Ai pursed her lips and chuckled.

“Shall we eat durian pizza?” Jian Ai suggested softly.

Jian Yichen looked up at Jian Ai and nodded. “Alright!”

They ordered a durian pizza and some snacks and desserts. Their tastes were similar, so they quickly finished ordering.

“Why did you suddenly treat me to a meal alone?” Jian Yichen suddenly asked.

Jian Ai stopped drinking water. She initially wanted to talk after eating, but she didn’t expect Jian Yichen to change the topic so quickly.

The reason was that Jian Ai was also here to say goodbye to Jian Yichen because she felt that if she disappeared without telling him, Jian Yichen would be angry at her.

Hence, that day’s meal.

“I’m just saying goodbye to you.” Jian Ai pretended to be relaxed and smiled. “I’ll be leaving Baiyun City in two days!”
