Jiang Yujie knew her lies were weak and coulfdnât withstand being poked at.
She didnât want to worry her family. Hence, she only informed them right before going.
But in the future, after she kept refusing contact with them, wonât they suspect something?
Jiang Yujie sighed before finally saying, âI just want to take a breather.
âI⦠I just want to relax and throw everything away, explore other places.â Jiang Huaizhou might not understand her words, but Mr and Mrs. Jiang did.
Both knew the business trip was just an excuse.
Jiang Yujie only wanted to escape the past, take a breather, or even start anew.
Mrs. Jiang couldnât get a word out. Even though Mr. Jiang moved his lips, he couldnât say anything against it either. If this was the reason, he couldnât make Jiang Yujie return.
âBut you didnât have to leave so hurriedly,â Mr. Jiang said lamely.
The force behind his words had weakened.
âDad, Mom, take care of yoursleves,â Jiang Yujie said.
âWhat are you saying! Are you planning to never return?â Mrs. Jiang instantly shot back.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOf course not! Itâs just that Iâll not be around to take care of you guys at this time, so itâs just a reminder,â Jiang Yujie said as she smiled.
âAlso, you have to listen to Brother. You both canât be so stubborn anymore. Frankly, youâre both getting older and arenât as quick-thinking as youngsters, so listen to Brother more no matter what. Donât let him worry about you while heâs setting up his business.â
âListen to yourself, weâll certainly listen to your brother,â Mrs. Jiang replied. âLike weâre both young children.â
Jiang Yujie quickly smiled in apology. âI spoke wrongly. Anyway, Iâm assured with Brother around.â
âThen⦠where are you going? Youâve got to tell us, right?â Mrs. Jiang pressed.
âIâm not sure yet. Iâm traveling wherever my legs take me. Itâs my first time traveling like this, without a destination or plan, just following my heart. I just want to do everything based on my own will for once,â Jiang Yujie replied. âBut where are you going now? Youâve got to rest somewhere, right?â Mrs. Jiang questioned.
Jiang Yujie was silent for a moment. âMom, stop asking, please. You guys donât have to find me. Donât worry, really.â
âHow can we not worry with you being like this?â Jiang Huaizhou said in a low voice.
Jiang Huaizhou found it strange. Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were against Jiang Yujie going overseas at first.
How come both stopped arguing against her with just a few words?
He felt that there must be something about Jiang Yujie that their parents knew but not him.
âIf I say it, will you come and find me?â Jiang Yujie asked back.
The three became silent.
Even Jiang Huaizhou.
He would find her, obviously.
Sheâs alone outside. How could he not worry?
Jiang Yujie smiled in understanding. âSo Iâm not telling you. I just want to explore on my own. Regarding some things I have to think through, you guys wonât be able to help.
âMoreover, Brotherâs just setting up his business. He needs to focus. How can I let him be distracted from his career just to find me?â
Jiang Huaizhou frowned. âI wonât be distracted. No matter where I am, I can work as long as I have a computer and a phone.â
