He only mentioned that a friend was in trouble, but did not elaborate on the specifics.
Chi Mu Jiu understood that he refrained from providing details to avoid her asking too many questions. She recognized his intentions and didn’t want to add any pressure at this moment.
She gazed at him quietly, her eyes filled with affection and trust. She pressed a kiss on his lips.
This kiss was gentle and heartfelt, imbued with all her reluctance and anticipation. To her surprise, Du Heng Yan did not insist; he simply savored the moment of their kiss.
A farewell kiss, I won’t tease you anymore.
Yes, I look forward to our next meeting.
At the airport, amidst the hustle and bustle, a sense of sorrow lingered in the air as people came and went.
Du Heng Yan walked through security. Chi Mu Jiu closely followed his figure with her gaze. As he passed through security, she noticed him frown slightly when he turned around.
That slight furrow of his brow carried unspoken words of reluctance and concern. He must be reluctant to part as well.
On the return journey in the car, Chi Mu Jiu sat quietly, staring at the empty seat beside her. That seat had just been occupied by Du Heng Yan not long ago, and now it was vacant.
What a person who makes one feel so reluctant to part!
She murmured softly, her voice filled with longing. Unbeknownst to her, her eyes had reddened, and tears swirled in her gaze.
As she recalled the moments spent with Du Hangyan, she found herself crying twice in one day, realizing she was quite the crybaby. The last time she felt such emptiness was when her mother passed away. That immense sorrow and despair seemed to hollow out her entire world.
This time, it was the farewell to her beloved deep within her heart. Beloved? The thought of that word left her somewhat bewildered. Was it Du Hangyan? She repeatedly questioned herself in her mind. That man had unknowingly occupied such an important place in her heart.
"Miss, we've arrived," the driver's voice broke through her thoughts, and she turned to look out the window. She was truly home. The familiar building stood before her, yet the familiar presence she longed for was absent.
"Miss, my number is in the car. If you need a ride, feel free to contact me anytime," the driver said. She nodded slightly, and seeing the sorrow etched on her face, he dared not say more. After parking the car, he left.
Once inside her home, she slowly sank onto the sofa, trying hard to organize her thoughts. Just as she intended to call Ye Jue to discuss the contract, he unexpectedly called her first.
"Miss Chi, do you have any concerns regarding the contract?" Ye Jue's voice came through the line.
Chi Mu Jiu straightened up slightly and cleared her throat. "Mr. Ye, I was just about to call you to discuss the contract. I plan to hand it over to my father; he is much more suited for matters regarding business projects than I am. I hope that the Ye family and the Chi family can have a pleasant cooperation."
Ye Jue quickly replied, "No problem, Miss Zhi. I will be waiting for your notification at any time. I have everything prepared for the signing ceremony." After all, this was a task assigned by the boss; how could he afford to be negligent?
"Thank you, Mr. Ye. I will confirm the time as soon as possible."
"No rush, Miss Zhi. The Ye family is always at your service."
After hanging up the phone, Zhi Mu Jiu slumped onto the sofa, the soft texture easing her thoughts considerably. She gently closed her eyes, reflecting on everything that had happened during this time.
Fortunately, everything was going smoothly, and the contract matter was about to be settled. She needed to confirm the signing time quickly to get everything back on track.
She recalled her last conversation with Du Heng Yan at the airport. "May you get everything you desire."
"Safe travels, and don’t forget what you said."
Yes, she would get everything she wanted.
