Chapter 2069: Chapter 2071: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi 72
Jiang Nuan was on the bus going back when she received a call from someone.
"Have you guys set off?"
At that moment, Jiang Nuan was leaning her head against the window, half-asleep. Hearing the voice, she opened her eyes to look outside and lowered her voice, saying, "Mm, weāve left Hechuan County and reached Jiangcheng."
Once the bus crossed Jiangcheng, it would take less than three hours to reach Capital City. Considering the time, she would probably arrive in the evening.
Fu Yi was standing at the entrance of the lounge just after returning, holding his phone. Yi Hengjian saw his gentle expression, eyelids drooping while making the call, and teased with a smile, "Calling your wife? Young love, how sweet."
Under the inquisitive gaze of many, Fu Yi simply nodded and moved aside with his phone to make the call.
"Whatās up? Are you still busy?"
Jiang Nuan propped up her head and yawned, hearing the noise from the other end.
"How about you get busy first? Important matters take precedence."
"You think Iām slacking off?" There was faint laughter on the other end.
Jiang Nuanās heart inexplicably skipped a beat, her drowsiness nearly gone, and she nervously refuted, "I didnāt think that at all."
He was quick to ease, "I was just joking, you wonāt be mad at that."
Jiang Nuanās heart was stirred into a flurry by his casual words, and she angrily furrowed her brow, "Iām not that petty."
"Mm."
Jiang Nuan seemed to hear a soft chuckle from him.
In an instant, she tightened her grip on the phone, her mood becoming more agitated.
"Did you call for something?"
Fu Yi, "Not really, just got done with work and wanted to ask if you had left yet. If not, we might still meet, and I could see you off."
But by the time he called, they had already been on their way for quite some time. Jiang Nuan discreetly read the rest of his unspoken words in her mind.
"We promptly set off at 2:30 PM, weāve been on the road for an hour."
"I know, you just told me, the bus has reached Jiangcheng."
Jiang Nuan fell silent for a moment, unsure how to respond. This call seemed rather pointlessāhe didnāt have anything to say, yet wasnāt hanging up, giving it the feel of a coupleās lengthy phone chat. Jiang Nuan held the phone, her eyelashes slightly lowered, covering her eyes as she said, "If thereās nothing else, Iāll hang up now."
"Nuannuan."
Just as she was about to hang up, a low male voice suddenly came from the other end.
"Mm?" Jiang Nuan unconsciously paused her movement, "What is it?"
"Donāt forget what you promised me."
Jiang Nuan was dumbstruck.
Something she promised?
Her brain slowly turned before she remembered what he was talking about.
She had only agreed to one thing, their half-year pact.
Jiang Nuan let out a breath, holding the phone, "Donāt worry, if I promised you, I wonāt forget."
"You sound like Iām asking you to walk the plank." Fu Yi laughed before reminding, "Donāt stay in a hotel when you get back. You have a place in Capital City, and Iāve told Grandma youāll be back today. She will call you later, and you should tell her when youāll arrive, so she can pick you up."
"I..."
Jiang Nuan found it troublesome and didnāt want to trouble an elderly person. Before she could refuse, her words were interrupted, "Donāt be in a rush to refuse, it wasnāt my idea. Sheās been hesitant to call you so as not to disturb you but isnāt afraid to disturb me, calling me several times a day to ask about you. Recently, she heard your medical team is coming back and insisted on picking you up. I didnāt originally want to disclose your return time to her, but she called Mayor Yi and found out the time."
At the end of the day, he claimed it had nothing to do with him, maintaining his innocence. Jiang Nuan was exasperated, not easily duped, "Do you dare say you didnāt play a part in this?"
