âI want to recover out here, then Iâll go back.â
Jiang Huaizhou took that to mean Jiang Yujie did not accept his confession.
However, he was not in a rush.
He did not think that Jiang Yujie would accept him immediately.
âSo how long are you going to stay there? Donât stay for too long and make us worry,â said Jiang Huaizhou.
Jiang Yujie pondered in silence and said, âOne year, okay? Give me one year. âAfter one year, I will go back,â Jiang Yujie continued. âIn one year, I will have adjusted myself, and then I will go back.â
âOkay,â Jiang Huaizhou agreed reluctantly. âIâll wait for you.â
âMhmm.â Jiang Yujie nodded.
âFrom now on, when you call, donât try to avoid me. Since I already know why you left, you should call home frequently and let us know that youâre doing well,â said Jiang Huaizhou.
âOkay.â Jiang Yujie nodded.
Jiang Huaizhou did not talk anymore.
Mrs. Jiang said, âYujie, hurry up and go eat. Youâre staying alone out there, you must stay safe. Donât order delivery when itâs already nighttime. Delivery food is not healthy anyway, and youâre a single girl at home, so itâd be too dangerous. If you meet someone with bad intentions, you will suffer.â
âOkay.â Jiang Yujie nodded. âMom, donât worry, I will definitely protect myself.â âHaih.â How could Mrs. Jiang not worry? She could only sigh. âIf you can get over it earlier, then come back earlier.â
âAlright.â
After hanging up, Jiang Yujie stared blankly at her own phone.
She did not expect everything to be revealed like that.
The thing that she wanted to hide was no longer a secret.
Jiang Yujie exhaled.
Honestly, after learning that Jiang Huaizhou knew, she did feel a chill down her spine.
However, after everything was revealed, she felt relaxed.
She did not have any burden anymore. She did not need to worry that someone would tell Jiang Huaizhou.
Now that Jiang Huaizhou knew everything, she did not need to worry.
However, after talking for so long, Jiang Yujie was no longer hungry.
Jiang Yujie stood up, opened her closet in the bedroom, and took out the clothes that she had unpacked and hung in the closet.
She folded each one and packed it into her luggage.
She packed all her toiletries and daily necessities.
Online, she bought a train ticket to the city nearby.
It didnât matter whether Mrs. Jiang would tell Jiang Huaizhou about her location here.
She could not stay here anymore.
Before she completely sorted herself out, she did not dare to meet Jiang Huaizhou.
***
In the Jiang familyâs home.
After ending the call, Jiang Huaizhou asked Mrs. Jiang, âMom, where is Yujie now?â
âYouâre still going?â Mrs. Jiang was surprised.
Did Jiang Huaizhou not tell Jiang Yujie that he would give her time?
âI canât have peace of mind if I donât see her,â said Jiang Huaizhou. âEven if she wants to relax outside, I want to know where is she. After confirming that sheâs fine there, I will come back.â
Since Jiang Yujie already knew about this, Mrs. Jiang felt that there was nothing that could not be said.
âSheâs in Dali,â said Mrs. Jiang. âBut I donât know where sheâs staying now.â âI will go and take a look. Even if I canât see her, as long as I am in the same city, I can feel more at ease,â said Jiang Huaizhou.
Mrs. Jiang smiled pleasantly. âNow I am really not worried. Youâll take care of Yujie.â
