Chapter 104 Beijing, I'm back
She knew that she couldn't appear in person when the divorce agreement was signed seven months later—she would be nine months pregnant and about to give birth. If she appeared in front of Lu Yiran, all her efforts would be wasted.
So, she drafted a divorce agreement, signed her name, and finally handed it to Qin Sheng, the lawyer her mother had appointed before her death. Qin was the only person she trusted, and she asked him to hand the agreement to Lu Yiran in seven months and to represent her in the divorce.
"Lawyer Qin, I'll leave this matter to you."
Mu Nanyan's voice was low and firm.
"No matter what, please ensure that this agreement can be delivered to Lu Yiran smoothly."
Lawyer Qin nodded, his expression serious:
"Don't worry, I will take care of everything. You should take care of yourself too."
Mu Nanyan smiled gratefully and then left the law firm.
One morning half a month later, Mu Nanyan walked out of the door as usual under the watchful eyes of the housekeeper, carrying a bag in her hand and a faint smile on her face. The housekeeper said respectfully as usual:
"Young Madam, be careful on the road."
Mu Nanyan nodded and turned to walk towards the car. Her back looked the same as usual, but only she knew that this was her last day at Yujing Tiancheng.
After that morning, Mu Nanyan never showed up again.
Meanwhile, Mu Nanyan had already boarded a flight to Country F. Sitting by the window, she gazed at the city receding into the distance, feeling both relief and a subtle pain. She knew she was about to face a completely new and unknown world, but she had no choice.
"For the sake of my child, I must be strong." She told herself silently in her heart, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
The plane flew through the clouds and flew into the distant sky. Mu Nanyan's figure gradually disappeared from Lu Yiran's world, as if she had never existed.
Seven months later—
"I'm sorry, Miss Mu, I didn't complete your request. Mr. Lu doesn't agree to a divorce, and he said you have to come in person."
"I know. Thank you, Lawyer Qin."
Five years later——
Five years passed like a flash. Mu Nanyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of Beijing International Airport, looking at the familiar city outline outside the window, with mixed feelings in her heart.
The lights from the airport shone on her, outlining her slender and elegant figure.
She wore a neatly cut beige trench coat with a simple white shirt underneath, exuding a calm and confident temperament.
The moment Mu Nanyan walked out of the airport, the wind from Beijing blew towards her, bringing with it a familiar scent. Mu Nanyan took a deep breath, looked up at the sky in the distance, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Beijing, I'm back."
————
In the arrivals hall of Beijing International Airport, Tang Yutong stood among the crowd, her gaze fixed on the exit. She wore a simple yet stylish black dress, topped with a beige trench coat, appearing sophisticated and elegant. She clutched a cup of hot coffee and periodically glanced at her watch, clearly having been waiting for quite some time.
"Why hasn't Nan Yan come out yet?"
She muttered softly, her tone a little anxious, but unable to hide her anticipation.
At this moment, her eyes caught that familiar figure - Mu Nanyan, who was slowly walking towards the exit.
Tang Yutong's eyes lit up instantly, and she walked quickly towards him with a bright smile on her face.
"Nan Yan! Here!"
She waved, her voice full of excitement.
Mu Nanyan heard the voice and looked up. The moment she saw Tang Yutong, the corners of her mouth lifted involuntarily. She quickened her pace and walked in front of Tang Yutong. The two smiled at each other, as if the five years had been brought closer in an instant.
"Yutong, long time no see."
Mu Nanyan's voice was gentle and carried a hint of emotion.
"Long time no see? How dare you say that!"
Tang Yutong glared at her in a feigned anger, but the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting? The coffee's gone cold!"
Mu Nanyan chuckled lightly, with a hint of ridicule in her tone:
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Boss Tang."
"Stop it!"
Tang Yutong waved her hand, then her eyes fell behind Mu Nanyan.
"Hey, where's my godson? Didn't you bring him with you this time?"
"Last week, my grandparents went on a trip abroad and came to see me, so they brought Xiaochen back to Haicheng. I'll go see him after I finish dealing with things here."
"So you're planning to settle down in Haicheng? Not return to Beijing? What about the studio?"
"You're here, aren't you? Haven't you been taking good care of me during my years abroad?"
Tang Yutong thought about it and it seemed to be the same. She thought about everything Mu Nanyan had experienced before, and suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to let Mu Nanyan stay away from this sad place.
"Let's go, the car is waiting outside. When the guys in our studio heard you were coming back, they were so excited that they insisted on coming to the airport to pick you up, but I held them back. Otherwise, you'd be surrounded by people right now."
Mu Nanyan smiled, with a bit of helplessness in her tone:
"You can control them."
"Of course, I'm the boss!"
Tang Yutong raised her chin proudly, then took Mu Nanyan's arm and said in a low voice,
"But seriously, Nan Yan, you coming back this time has been a real help. Our studio recently received a big order, and the other party specifically wants Grace's design. If you don't come back, I really can't hold on any longer."
Mu Nanyan glanced at her with a hint of ridicule in her eyes:
"Why, even Boss Tang can't handle things sometimes?"
"Stop it!"
Tang Yutong rolled her eyes at her. "You're Grace, an internationally renowned designer. Who can compare to you? But then again, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
Mu Nanyan was silent for a moment, her eyes flickering slightly: "Let's see how the situation develops. At least let's complete the cooperation first."
Tang Yutong nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She knew Mu Nanyan and knew that she came back not only for work, but also for some unresolved issues.
The two walked out of the airport and Tang Yutong's car was parked on the side of the road. She opened the door and motioned Mu Nanyan to get in. After getting in the car, Tang Yutong started the car and said with a smile:
"By the way, Nan Yan, I haven't announced your return. Now everyone outside only knows that Grace is coming to Beijing for cooperation, but no one knows that Grace is you. When do you plan to reveal your identity?"
Mu Nanyan leaned back in her seat, looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, and said in a calm tone:
"No rush, wait for the right time."
Tang Yutong raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Okay, you're the big designer anyway, so you have the final say. But I have to warn you, if those kids in our studio knew you were Grace, they would probably go crazy."
Mu Nanyan chuckled softly but didn't respond. Her gaze remained fixed on the window, but her thoughts had already drifted away.
