Chapter 2125: Chapter 2127: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi
Lemon still found it hard to believe that Fu Yi would agree, "What did you say to him, did you just directly mention divorce, and he agreed?"
"Not exactly, but pretty much."
They had agreed to give each other half a year; if things didn’t work out, they would part ways. She messaged him saying the agreement was off, and Fu Yi replied with "okay," which was essentially agreeing to the divorce.
Lemon put her hand on her shoulder, moved her lips, "Sister, I don’t know how to comfort you, I’m still single myself and can’t comfort someone who has crawled out of the grave. Oh well, my condolences."
"Pfft." Jiang Nuan laughed, the corners of her mouth lifted as she feigned nonchalance, "Alright, it’s not that exaggerated."
She took a deep breath and exhaled, filling her lungs with fresh air, raised the corners of her lips, and looked over with bright apricot eyes, "Actually, I’m okay, how to say? I’ve already spent five years accepting the fact I needed to accept, and this period was just a small interlude. Once I go abroad, I’ll soon forget about it. By then, I’ll eat when I should and work when I should. There are many things people should pursue, not just love and marriage. I won’t go to extremes over a man."
"Who’d believe that!" Lemon teased, nudging her shoulder, "If you don’t care, then don’t go abroad. Stay here in the country, where everyone speaks Hua Country’s language and has black hair and yellow skin—doesn’t that sound good! Why insist on going abroad to a research institute with a bunch of big brutes, eating burgers every day."
At home, there’s hotpot, skewers, spicy snacks, barbecue, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Shandong cuisine... Abroad, there’s only grilled steak, fried steak, steak sandwiches—your tongue would blister from eating the same thing. If she wasn’t going abroad to heal, why else would she go to such an unfamiliar place?
Seriously, women, each more stubborn than the last!
Lemon wasn’t really trying to poke Jiang Nuan’s sore spot. After speaking, she gave her a hug, released her, stuck out her tongue, and smiled lightly, "Once you arrive, message me to say you’re safe. I don’t know if the moon is rounder abroad than at home, but I bet the birds abroad don’t eat as much as they do here. Spend two years outside to heal and then come back! Like you said yourself, men and love are not everything in life. Your family and friends are all here. It’s not worth giving up everything for a man."
It isn’t worth it, but for now, she hasn’t reached a place of true inner peace to face that person calmly.
Jiang Nuan almost zoned out, and after a long silence, she nodded solemnly to her, "Don’t worry, I’ll come back once I’ve sorted myself out. I won’t stay abroad forever."
"I’ll be waiting for you!"
"Okay."
"Let me know when you want to return; I’ll be there for you, rain or shine!"
This time Jiang Nuan genuinely smiled, her heart warm, all her previous unhappiness dissipating. She rushed over and hugged her tightly in a big embrace, squeezing so hard Lemon struggled a bit before Jiang Nuan released her. She then stepped back two paces, raised her hand, and said, "I really have to go now."
"Mm."
The airport was announcing boarding information. Jiang Nuan turned her head to glance at the boarding gate. Her first-class ticket allowed her to check in quickly, but she still needed to check in half an hour early, and there were forty minutes until the flight departed.
She slowly moved towards the security check, taking one last look around. The Capital Airport was bustling with travelers, and not far away, there was a couple embracing and kissing. The person she thought might come didn’t appear.
