When he returned. Yinuo had already left, leaving only the blanket on the sofa. Jiang Cheng held onto the blanket and could not even feel the warmth of Yi Nuo's body.
When Yinuo woke up, she found herself on the sofa in Jiang City's office. She recalled everything and determined that she had indeed fallen asleep during the meeting. However, she could not understand why she was here. She sat on the sofa and looked at the blanket covering her body, speechless. His emotions were surging. It was very warm, but also very uncomfortable. I definitely won't tell you how much I regret slapping you in the face, but I hate you for being so determined to separate Gu Yi and me and destroy what I want. Some feelings could not be repaid and could not be repaid.
Looking at the time, Yi Nuo was shocked. It was almost time to get off work, so she rushed back to the office to settle her work. When she returned, she realized that all the relevant documents on the table were gone, so she asked her temporary assistant. The assistant was baffled and explained,"Because you went to the secretary's office now, Mr. Barker asked someone else to take over your work, so he took all the documents away.”
Yi Nuo blinked. He was a little out of sorts. Then, without another word, he walked towards his office in Jiang City. He rushed in without even knocking on the door and was stunned the moment he entered. Jiang Cheng quietly looked at the blanket, his fingers gently caressing it. His lowered lonely side profile was the most vulnerable side of him that no one had ever seen. He seemed to have lost weight. The edges of his face were more distinct, and his shoulders were thinner. Yi Nuo's hand was on the doorknob. She was still unable to digest the scene in front of her for a moment. She stood at the door and looked at Jiang City. Guilt, discomfort, and heartache were all surging in her heart. Jiang Cheng turned around and saw Yinuo standing at the door. He put the blanket aside and patted the sofa beside him. "Nuonuo. Come here." Jiang Cheng really didn't care if Yinuo loved him or not. Perhaps it was impossible to ask for anything in return when you loved someone. Some things in the world were meant to end without a cause. For example, no matter how much Jiang City paid for Yi Nuo, it was like a stone sinking into the bottom of the sea. However, it was fine as long as he could see her. Even if they were good friends like before, he was still very satisfied.
Yi Nuo unknowingly walked over. Her footsteps were slow because of her hesitation, but she did not stop in the end. She walked all the way to the edge of Jiang City.
"Don't just stand there. Come and sit with me for a while." Jiang Cheng did not have the desolate expression from before at all. It was as if nothing had happened. He smiled warmly and said to Yi Nuo in an unbelievably gentle manner.
"Why did you transfer me away?" Yi Nuo suppressed his emotions and insisted on being rational, but his tone was gentle as he asked.
"Nuonuo."You can sit down and talk." Jiang Cheng reached out and forced Yinuo to sit down.
After Yi Nuo sat down, Jiang Cheng turned to look at her and said seriously,"Promise. Because you're with Gu Yi. That's why you can't be in a department that's related to the case.”
Yi Nuo looked up at Jiang City. Actually, what Jiang City said was right. The competition between Kang Cheng and San Sheng had almost reached a white-hot level. He was the representative of San Sheng's case, and Gu Yi was Kang Cheng's representative. It was already Jiang City's mercy that he was not fired.
"You're now in charge of making coffee, tea, and snacks for me every day…"
Yi Nuo looked straight into Jiang Cheng's eyes, not knowing what to say.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I won't deduct your salary." Jiang Cheng pinched Yi Nuo's face and said nonchalantly. However, only Jiang Cheng knew that he was not at ease at all.
"Can I go back after the case is over?" Yinuo really liked this job. She couldn't tell why, but she felt a sense of accomplishment and did it very well.
"Once the case is over, you can go back to your original job.”Jiang City promised.
"Alright."
"Yang Yi will still do the normal things. I'll tell you what you want to do at the last minute.”
"Alright."
……
Originally, Yi Nuo had rushed up to Jiang City to reason with him about this matter. Who knew that Jiang City would have such an attitude? Instead, Yi Nuo became passive. Jiang City was most afraid that Yi Nuo would not agree to it, and he would be entangled in this matter until the end before resigning. Fortunately, Yinuo was still very rational about her work.
"Nuonuo. I'm sorry." Jiang Cheng suddenly changed the topic.
"You didn't let me down." Last time, Jiang Cheng had apologized to Yi Nuo at the airport, and Yi Nuo had also replied in the same way. It seemed that she had never cared about the harm others had done to her or the troubles they had caused her. It was as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Cheng's gaze at Yinuo was as deep as ink.
"I shouldn't have hit you last night.”Yi Nuo was a little embarrassed, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he said it.
"It doesn't hurt." Jiang Cheng laughed. Indeed, Yinuo was such a skinny girl. Even if she used all her strength, she could still beat Jiang City up. The only thing that hurt was his heart. "Promise. I can't stop myself from liking you. I won't force you again, but don't give up on our friendship, okay?”After a pause, Jiang Cheng continued,"I will respect you."”When he said this, Yi Nuo felt bitter.
No one knew what would happen in the future. Now, as long as Yi Nuo was within their line of sight, they could watch over Yi Nuo and do their best to protect her. In the end, it was just because he loved her. Therefore, he could let bygones be bygones, and no matter how much harm he had done to himself, he could gently erase it. So what if she hated herself? Indeed, she couldn't expect her to leave someone she once relied on. Chen Xue was right. She had learned from her mistakes. Jiang Cheng had thought it through. Now that things were complicated, all he could do was try his best to protect her and make her happy so that she would not be hurt again.
Yi Nuo would never know what Jiang City was planning for her, nor would she know that she was an outsider to this case. She was just grateful that Jiang City had given her a way out. Some friendships needed to be maintained, and they really needed tacit understanding. A promise wasn't about not letting go of a mistake and completely erasing the person in the past. Jiang City was willing to be an outsider in his own life. It was already a huge sacrifice. Yi Nuo did not dare to ask for anything else. Moreover, from the beginning to the end, he had not paid anything, while Jiang City had gained nothing in vain. Yi Nuo was already satisfied.
"City. Thank you." Yi Nuo had many emotions and many words, but in the end, they all turned into a word of thanks.
"Then give me a hug." Jiang Cheng was happy and made a request.
Yi Nuo's expression suddenly changed as he stared at Jiang City. He had just said it, and he was going back on his word?
"It's just a hug from a friend.”Jiang Cheng was honest and sincere.
Yi Nuo heaved a sigh of relief and reached out to hug Jiang City. Jiang Cheng hugged Yi Nuo tightly. Yi Nuo's heart softened from Jiang Cheng's hug. She did not push him away and only patted his back gently to comfort him. Leaning on his shoulder, Yi Nuo said softly,""City. If I met you when I was fourteen. If not, he would not be in his current state. Accept your fate." How could Yi Nuo not feel sorry for Jiang City? Yi Nuo was grateful to him for treating her well.
