Chapter 438 No More Contact
Walking into the coffee shop, Xiang Nuan immediately saw Jin Nuoyi sitting in the corner. It was not because of her oriental face, but because of her calm and powerful aura that had become more and more powerful after not seeing her for a long time.
It seems that she is getting more and more in control of her life, Xiang Nuan couldn't help but think. If so, Jiang Chao must be doing well too.
"Hello." Xiang Nuan stood opposite her with a smile, his eyes were gentle and kind, completely different from the person he was on the phone.
Jin Nuo was a little dazed and forgot to respond for a moment.
"Mr. Jin, don't you recognize me anymore?" Her smile became even sweeter, as if they were meeting old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"It's true that people feel refreshed when they are happy. Designer Xiang is in high spirits and his whole body is glowing." Jin Nuoyi also laughed, but his smile was a little more guarded.
"Do you mind if I have a breakfast? To be honest, I didn't even have time to eat breakfast before I left home this morning. Your appointment is too timely."
Xiang Nuan called the waiter over without waiting for Jin Nuo to nod.
"Would you like anything?" She also called Jin Nuoyi.
"I've had breakfast, so coffee will be enough."
"Then I want..." Xiang Nuan pointed at the menu and ordered a lot. How could this be considered skipping breakfast? It looked like she had been hungry for three days.
"You're still the same. You haven't changed at all."
"Well... I'll just take it as President Jin praising me." Xiang Nuan smiled mischievously.
Jin Nuoyi moved back a little and kept some distance, looking at Xiang Nuan carefully, as if trying to confirm whether the kindness and ease emanating from her were real.
"I heard that Mr. Jiang intends to bring the show back to China. So, you will be back soon?"
"Well, this trip has been long enough."
"In that case, please don't forget that we have an agreement, Designer."
"Um?"
"A new company needs to gain a foothold in the market with a new image, and you have to spend a lot of time and effort on packaging planning."
"You went to France in person just for this?"
Jin Nuoyi's expression changed slightly. This was obviously not her purpose.
"Of course, there is one small thing I need your help with."
Jin Nuo picked up the coffee and took a sip, hiding the change in his expression.
The waiter brought the meal over at this time. Xiang Nuan focused all her interest on the delicious food in front of her and enjoyed it with relish.
"Are you sure you don't want anything?"
"Of course, I won't let the designer work in vain. You can set any conditions you want."
"What's so trivial?"
Xiang Nuan had a puffy mouth and big eyes, looking the most innocent. Jin Nuoyi couldn't help laughing as he watched her swallow a large piece of ham and pick up the bread to spread butter on it.
She took the bread slice and the knife, carefully spread the cream on her, cut it diagonally, folded it in half, and handed it to her.
"I want to bail out Zhai Jinpeng."
Xiang Nuan took the bread, put the whole thing into her mouth, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Then I'll just say it casually." She muttered.
"good."
"Please don't think about me anymore. After today, we won't know each other and won't have any contact anymore."
Jin Nuoyi's brows twitched slightly: "Why are you saying it so decisively? Who can foresee the future? Maybe one day you will need my cooperation for something."
"Then it seems that this condition...is not casual enough."
Xiang Nuan raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
Jin Nuoyi also looked at her, but felt that the person in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar. Perhaps she had never seen her clearly, never seriously got to know her, but in front of her, she was completely exposed.
"You're such a weirdo," she shook her head. "Okay, although it's a pity, you and I...will never see each other again."
"Then let's go!" Xiang Nuan picked up the coffee and drank it all in one gulp. "The police station should be open for work now."
She wiped her mouth and stood up, almost reaching out to pull Jin Nuoyi.
The big question mark almost burst Jin Nuoyi's brain. She thought she would experience many twists and turns, and was even prepared to be rejected, blamed, and vented her anger. But she agreed so readily, which made her wonder if it was a trap.
She took a deep breath, decided to calm down, shut up, and take things one step at a time.
Even after she went to the police station and explained the situation to the police, completed the formalities, and saw Zhai Jinpeng, she still did not dare to take it lightly.
When Zhai Jinpeng saw Jin Nuo, his eyes lit up and his depressed figure straightened up instantly.
"Mr. Jin..." He had a thousand words stuck in his mouth, but in the end his voice was choked with sobs and he couldn't say a word.
Jin Nuo nodded coldly without saying a word. If it weren't for the twinkling light in his eyes, one would have thought they were just a simple superior-subordinate relationship.
"Thank you, Mrs. Jiang."
Jin Nuoyi used such a formal yet distant address, and it was unclear whether it was because the police were present or she was already fulfilling her promise.
Xiang Nuan deliberately frowned and nodded coldly, as if she was very reluctant to let him go.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Jiang," Zhai Jinpeng also said.
Xiang Nuan was too lazy to even look at him, and turned around and walked away. Jin Nuoyi and Zhai Jinpeng looked at each other and followed him out of the police station. Only when they were far away did Xiang Nuan stop and suddenly turned back to look at Zhai Jinpeng.
She didn't say anything, just stared at him until he drooped his eyelids due to the lack of tolerance.
"Don't worry, I know."
"That's what I told you, Manager Zhai is so clear-headed." She patted his shoulder and waved at Jin Nuoyi, "I'm leaving now. Bye!"
"Hey--" Jin Nuo shouted, but Xiang Nuan just waved her hand, quickly hailed a taxi, and disappeared in the crowd.
Jin Nuo stood there in a daze, unable to recover.
"Boss Jin," Zhai Jinpeng's eyes were filled with tears, and he called out tentatively, "Nuoyi..."
Bang!
A loud slap landed squarely on his cheek with an echo, causing tears to roll down his cheeks. Zhai Jinpeng lowered his head and bit his lips, then suddenly he took a step forward and hugged Jin Nuoyi tightly.
Jin Nuoyi was completely stunned, his raised arm frozen in mid-air.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The cries of sobbing rang in his ears, and Jin Nuoyi's heart was broken.
"Did my dad force you to do that?" Her voice softened a bit, but it was still cold. In fact, she already knew the answer, but she just wanted to hear him say it himself.
"No, I was stupid. He just forced me to give you a push and facilitate your marriage with Jiang Chao. I was self-righteous and thought that I would be qualified to fight for it after I became rich and powerful... I was too anxious and didn't have time to develop and accumulate slowly, so I could only take an unconventional approach... I was too stupid..."
Jin Nuoyi sighed. She certainly understood his difficulties and intentions, otherwise she would not have come all the way to pick him up in person. But he was really stupid. He had been with her for so long, but when faced with a problem, he didn't use his brain at all and just went straight to a dead end.
"Let's leave here first." She wanted to push him away, but Zhai Jinpeng hugged her even tighter and was unwilling to let go.
"How long do you plan on doing this?"
"Forever."
Jin Nuoyi's anger disappeared immediately, and he almost couldn't help laughing. Why did this sound so earthy and scratchy? !
