Chapter 2215 - 2217: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi
Jiang Nuan needed to sort out all her affairs in Mahali within one day, which was really pushing it!
Selling her house in a day was certainly impossible, so Jiang Nuan had to first settle her work matters within the limited time she had.
She submitted her resignation to her supervisor at the research institute, declined their attempts to convince her to stay, and canceled her personal work number.
Once she got her work issues resolved, Jiang Nuan listed her current residence online for sale as well, including her car as a bonus with the house, since she wouldn’t be able to use it any longer. The car, an Alto she drove in Mahali, wasn’t worth the expense to ship back home... With these taken care of, all that was left was packing her belongings.
Jiang Nuan had lived in Mahali for five years, and her house was filled with a multitude of items. She specially went to the supermarket to buy two large suitcases, only to realize when she started packing that she had vastly underestimated her accumulation of ’household assets’!
In the master bedroom, the doors of the off-white wardrobe were all wide open, and the bed was piled high with a jumble of clothes. There were skirts, down jackets, sneakers, and bags that had been sorted out and discarded on the chairs and floor.
Jiang Nuan moved back and forth in the mass of clothes, her hair fastened with a band, still sweating buckets. Her white T-shirt, damp with sweat, though showed a slender waist from the back, soft and delicate, stirring imagination...
Fu Yi walked in and was greeted with this scene, his eyes trailed from her flushed cheeks to the clothes she wore, landing on her waist that peeked through the flowing fabric, taking a round before finally settling on the heaps of clothes in the bedroom.
He stepped over the clothes-strewn floor with his long legs, took a sweep of the suitcases on the ground, and opened his mouth to ask.
"Not done packing yet?"
Jiang Nuan gazed at the clothes covering the floor and the two already packed suitcases in distress, feeling overwhelmed, "No. There are too many clothes, they won’t fit. If I pack the clothes, I can’t fit anything else, I’m trying to see what I can throw away."
Unfazed, Fu Yi bent over to pick up a pink off-shoulder dress casually tossed on the suitcase and placed it on the bed, "If you can’t decide, just leave them all. There are clothes at home, if it’s not enough, use my card to buy more, Grandma loves going shopping with you, she’d be happy to accompany you."
"I don’t want to do that, it’s such a waste!" Jiang Nuan rolled her eyes at him, hurriedly picking up the pink dress he’d put aside, and said with a heartache, "I’ve only worn this dress once, it’s practically new. I bought it for the research institute’s annual meeting, and only wore it then, kept it in the closet ever since. I went all the way to Givenchy to buy this dress, and it cost me twenty thousand yuan."
He took out his phone, "Twenty thousand? I’ll transfer the money to you, if the dress won’t fit, just throw it away."
For most families, twenty thousand yuan is quite a lot, but to Fu Yi, who grew up with luxury, it doesn’t seem that much. It wasn’t bragging, but merely a difference in how everyone perceives money.
Jiang Nuan felt she couldn’t communicate with him, so she quickly folded the dress, squatted in front of the suitcase, trying to compress a gap, and squeezed the dress in.
As soon as it fit in, her eyes sparkled with a ripple of joy, she turned around, full of delight, and made a peace sign, breaking into an unusually happy, "Yay, (^-^)V. Saved twenty thousand!"
Fu Yi slowly lowered his hand, feeling as if the bleak wall of his heart was lightly brushed by soft rose branches, the hardened gate transformed into a guardian of delicate roses, wishing only to protect the beauty before him forever!
