Chapter 444: Yue Lao vs. Witch
"Congratulations!"
Xiang Nuan suddenly stood up and clasped his hands together and bowed, which was more solemn than congratulating someone on their perfect match. Jiang Chao was slightly stunned and burst into laughter.
"It's just you." He laughed so hard that his voice trembled.
"Freedom came so unexpectedly, and you didn't have to confront the old man head-on. It seems that God sympathized with your hardships and good intentions, and personally stepped down to make the decision for you."
Xiang Nuan's smile was genuine, not teasing or joking at all. She patted herself and said exaggeratedly, "Oh, I should have prepared a backup gift if I had known this would happen. I neglected it."
"Don't be careless. I have already thought of what gift I want. Just nod your head."
Now it was Xiang Nuan's turn to be surprised. Had the pit been dug long ago? Did they spend a thousand days digging the pit and use it for only a moment? !
"I heard that Yunhui is going to return to China to continue his program. He won't forget the old company where he worked so hard for so many years, right?"
"Well, I forgot it a long time ago. How could I have walked so far if I hadn't forgotten it?"
Jiang Chao suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, and they both raised their eyebrows at each other.
Xiang Nuan knew that the entertainment company had already been transferred to Liu Yunshan's name, and Jiang Chao would never have anything to do with her again. Jiang Chao also knew that with the current popularity and scale of the show, Jiang Yunhui would have cooperated with the most powerful platform. He had already contacted Jay Chou of Meishi, so he must have made plans.
But he just couldn't help teasing her, and she was happy to join in the fun.
"You two are so cold-blooded and heartless. That's your style." He laughed, "Unlike me, who always puts friends first."
He took out the box and handed it to Xiang Nuan: "I wish your fashion exhibition will be a great success in the country."
Xiang Nuan was really surprised this time. Looking at the small and cute package, she didn't know whether she should accept it.
"It's not a bomb. My happy life is just about to begin. I won't die with you."
Xiang Nuan smiled sheepishly, then took it and opened it. It turned out to be a colorful, exaggerated handmade clay necklace. She put it around her neck and laughed.
"The Children's Day gift is more appropriate."
"You are so cute, every day is Children's Day."
Jiang Chao resisted the urge to put it on her, and seeing her bright smile, he couldn't help but smile as well. He didn't know how long ago he had laughed so relaxedly, nor did he know whether his current mood was because of her or because the freedom he longed for had finally come.
"I bought this at a street stall when I met them. At that time, I suddenly thought that this moment deserved an unforgettable souvenir." Jiang Chao said slowly.
"Then you should keep it, and take it out and wear it secretly every year on this day. Or give it to your future wife, and tell her that this day means as much to you as a general on the battlefield capturing a vital city." Xiang Nuan said jokingly.
But Jiang Chao didn't smile, instead his eyes softened.
"It's more meaningful to give it to you. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Oh, that's really too much. Anyone can win the final victory without Boss Jiang, they just have to take a detour."
"That's different. I've never met someone who understands me and all this like you do."
Jiang Chao's gaze became increasingly deep, and Xiang Nuan's heart began to beat with excitement.
"If someone understands you, treats you well, and helps you realize yourself, that can only mean one thing." Xiang Nuan cleared her throat and looked at him seriously.
"What?"
"You've encountered a pig-killing scam!"
Those clear eyes were like a lake with a bottom that you could see through, attracting Jiang Chao to indulge in them. At the moment of falling into the water, he suddenly woke up, pushed her shoulder with a fist, and laughed with his head raised.
"Okay, my flight is about to arrive. Goodbye, Xiang Nuan!" Jiang Chao stood up, as if he was not saying goodbye to the present, but saying goodbye to the future.
He was afraid that after he was free, he would really want to sink into it. He knew there was no place for him in the center of the lake.
"Oh, by the way, I'd better tell you. President Jin also called me to arrange a meeting, and I'm going to meet her later. I don't think she gave me a souvenir just to celebrate my freedom."
"Really?" Jiang Chao waved his hand: "She must want to ask you for directions. After all, she is not sure whether this road that suddenly appeared in front of her is a good or bad one."
"Haha, I don't know whether it's a fortune teller or a matchmaker, how can it be used to seek divination, pray for good luck and avoid misfortune."
Jiang Chao had already walked far away, and his laughter was carried back by the wind, with a long tail.
"Goodbye." Xiang Nuan murmured.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down for a moment, and headed towards another appointment place.
Unlike Jiang Chao's relaxed and lazy state, Jin Nuoyi was obviously tense. She held the cup tightly in both hands, as if she was handling an antique that had been buried for many years.
"Hello, President Jin," Xiang Nuan said, sitting opposite her, "I thought we would never meet again."
She chose to come straight to the point, as she really didn't want to get caught up in the maze of their relationship.
"Sorry to bother you." Jin Nuo forced a smile, "I think Jiang Chao must have contacted you, right?"
"Yes, to be honest, we just met."
"Sure enough, you are a very important person in his heart."
Xiang Nuan bit her lip lightly. It was obvious that Jin Nuoyi was a little reserved at the moment, which was completely different from her usual self.
"Don't get me wrong. Mr. Jiang just wanted to see me to kill time while waiting for the next flight. After all, it's rare to meet an old friend in a foreign country."
"Old friend?" Jin Nuo smiled, "Jiang Chao has no friends. It's not easy for people like us to have friends."
"You want to tell me the news of the cancellation of your engagement?" Xiang Nuan said bluntly.
"Yes." Jin Nuo straightened his expression.
"Then I would like to congratulate you as well."
"Congratulations? Maybe it's appropriate for him, but whether it's a happy event for me is still unclear." Jin Nuoyi picked up the water cup and took a big sip of water, and continued: "Did he tell you that his condition is that Zhai Jinpeng go to Baotu to replace Chen Weiming?"
Xiang Nuan was stunned. This was indeed a bit unexpected.
"He said this is the condition for breaking off the engagement?" Xiang Nuan deliberately stretched out the word "condition". "Does that mean it was you who came up with the idea? You took the initiative to break off the engagement, but he didn't agree unless you agreed to his conditions?"
Xiang Nuan asked so much that she wanted to laugh. Jiang Chao was really a fisherman who didn't forget to lay a hook even though he was taking advantage of the situation.
"Yes and no. It was indeed me who said I broke off the engagement, because..." Jin Nuoyi couldn't say it out loud. She had buried her feelings too deeply for too long, and she could no longer bring them out to discuss with others.
"Because he found out that President Jin doesn't love him." Zhai Jinpeng suddenly appeared from behind, and Xiang Nuan realized that there was someone behind Jin Nuoyi.
"Jinpeng..."
"It's okay. I believe Mrs. Jiang."
Xiang Nuan's eyes widened. Jin Peng? Holding hands? Although she knew that their relationship was extraordinary, she still felt uncomfortable to see it exposed in front of an outsider like her. It was like she was involved in some conspiracy.
"You guys have confused me..." Xiang Nuan said with a grin, backing away little by little. She now understood the feeling of being silenced for knowing too much...
