Chapter 2202: Chapter 2204: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

Jiang Nuan’s heart sank, and she looked at him sharply. But she saw that his expression was calm, as if he had already accepted this result.

"I can choose not to believe Zhang Yan, but there’s no reason not to trust a friend who grew up with me. Cui Jiangjing has no reason to deceive me. If he says there’s a leg ailment, then there’s a leg ailment."

Jiang Nuan was still not giving up, gritting her teeth with a look of reluctance, "But these past few days you clearly seemed fine."

"Hmm." Fu Yi admitted straightforwardly, "Because I was enduring it."

Jiang Nuan, "..." Why did he have to endure it?

"I thought you didn’t know. I didn’t let others tell you. I didn’t want to make you feel troubled. I thought you wouldn’t find out this way, but I didn’t expect you knew all along."

That night he saw her in the living room run to the hallway to make a phone call, crying as she did. Was that because of him?

Fu Yi’s heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if his pride he prided himself on was being burned. He stood up and, unexpectedly, said to the still-dazed Jiang Nuan, "I just remembered, the diplomat stationed at the Mahali embassy is a college classmate of mine. I can ask him to expedite my passport processing."

Jiang Nuan realized he was leaving and, in a panic, grabbed his hand, "Fu Yi, where are you going?"

The man stopped in place, silently pulled her hand away, speaking as if to himself, "I’ve thought about it, it’s inappropriate for me to keep staying at your place. We’re divorced, and I’m still a man. It’s best not to let strange men into your home when you’re living alone."

Jiang Nuan found herself unable to breathe, blurting out, "You’re not a strange man!"

Fu Yi’s eyes were gentle as he walked over, raised his hand to brush a stray lock of hair behind her ear, gently stroked the top of her head, his voice as cool as mint enveloping her, "Even someone you know is no exception. If you’re not set on being with that man and getting married, don’t trust any man."

Including your current boyfriend!

He left this last sentence unsaid, keeping it silently tucked away in his heart.

The warmth from his hand still lingered on top of her head. Jiang Nuan watched helplessly as he changed his shoes and opened the door without turning back.

Suddenly, her mind went blank, unable to think of any reason to make him stay. It was only when Fu Yi opened the door and the sunlight poured in that she hurriedly chased after him, hastily saying, "Um, you haven’t finished your meal."

So don’t leave...

Fu Yi turned his head; his eyelids were thin and his pupils deep and dark, as if they held emotions she could not understand. "Nuannuan, don’t ask me to stay."

Jiang Nuan’s movements suddenly paused. She felt like he was enduring something.

In that brief moment of distraction, by the time she came back to her senses, he was already gone.

Mahali’s warm sunlight shone on her, yet Jiang Nuan couldn’t feel a trace of warmth. The light shawl on her body felt as if it offered no protection, unable to block the confusion in her heart.

Fu Yi was gone...

He came so suddenly and left just as abruptly...

Even though they had only lived together for a day, Jiang Nuan felt like she had already grown accustomed to living with him. Now that he was suddenly gone, she couldn’t describe her inner confusion and entanglement.

She stood there for a while, momentarily blinded by the sunlight. She blinked and returned inside, took out her phone, and made a call.

"Beep...beep..."

The first call went unanswered, so she persistently called a second time.

This time, after the ringtone sounded seven or eight times, it was finally answered.

The person on the other end lowered his voice, his tone filled with unspoken gloom, "Sister, I’m in the courtroom defending my client. You’re suddenly calling nonstop—what’s happened?"
