Chapter 2010: Chapter 2012: Jiang Nuan vs Fu Yi 13
Li Qing complained, "What do you mean disturb? Iām of an age now, living alone at home. At this age, I canāt sleep at night. Youāve finally come back to the country, at least let me know so someone can pick you up from the airport. Otherwise, if you come back once every few years and thereās no one to welcome you home, isnāt it too quiet?"
Quiet?
Jiang Nuan didnāt feel that way.
She had been living abroad alone for five years and had long been accustomed to a solitary life.
Compared to interacting with people, she enjoyed the feeling of being alone more.
Cooking for herself, enjoying her own floral arrangements, and occasionally indulging in a favorite movie, she could leisurely open a bottle of fruit wine and lazily lie on a tatami mat. If she wanted to watch a movie while eating junk food, she could, without worrying whether the other person enjoyed the movie or if theyād think she was sloppy for lounging while watching.
Jiang Nuan was lost in thought.
Her wrist was suddenly tugged.
Snapping back to reality, Li Qing leaned toward her with concern, "Nuannuan, whatās wrong? Iāve been talking to you and you didnāt respond."
Jiang Nuanās forehead started to ache slightly, and she held it as she apologized guiltily, "Sorry, Nanny Li, I didnāt sleep well last night, kept zoning out."
Since she bumped into that person last night, she had been absent-minded.
She had clearly promised herself to forget.
"Didnāt sleep well last night?" Li Qing worriedly touched her forehead, and with no fever detected, she withdrew her hand. "At least you donāt have a fever. Maybe you just didnāt rest well. Come in, Iāll make you a cup of coffee."
Jiang Nuan smiled wryly, following her steps, playfully joking, "Sure, itās been ages since Iāve had a drink made by you, Nanny Li. I missed it so much abroad, finally have a chance to quench my thirst!"
"You smooth talker, if you really wanted my drinks, youād have come back long ago. I donāt believe a word youāre saying after being away so long."
Wind chimes rang, emitting a clear melody of sounds.
As Jiang Nuan stepped inside, she saw the man playing with greenery at the bar, and her smile froze.
Itās him again!
A distance away, those dark eyes looked at her with intensity, like hidden wildfires, making Jiang Nuanās temples throb. She wondered if she should have checked the almanac before returning, worried it might have said: Nothing goes right, bad omen!
Otherwise, why would she keep running into her treacherous, gold-digging ex-husband!
Li Qing was unaware of their divorce five years ago, even more unaware that Jiang Nuanās departure was related to Fu Yi. She still thought their relationship was as good as ever, smiling, "Mr. Fu, Nuannuan is here too. Did you two plan to come to my place for a drink? I wondered why you had the time to drop by today, turns out you planned to meet Nuannuan."
Jiang Nuan: No, Iām not, I didnāt!
"Oh." Li Qing turned back with a grateful face, "Nuannuan, I almost forgot to thank you. If it werenāt for you asking Mr. Fu to help with my business, their company often buys in bulk from me. This little shop might not have lasted till now. Now that our reputationās spread, more students come, and business is booming, all thanks to you."
"No, Nanny Li, I... please donāt thank me, it has nothing to do with me."
Thinking Jiang Nuan was just being modest, Li Qing patted her hand and sighed, "Donāt be humble, Mr. Fu said it was you who asked him. He wouldnāt lie. Alright, you two chat, Iāll go make coffee for you. The usual? Cappuccino with extra milk and a Blue Mountain without sugar?"
Jiang Nuan was going to say sheād long given up sweets and didnāt drink cappuccinos anymore, but seeing her eyes, she couldnāt help but nod, "Mm-hmm."
