âItâs the document Mo Corporation had sent over two months ago. I havenât opened it yet. At the time, you were the one who received it for me. You even asked what it was. You should have some impression of it.â
âOh, oh, I recall it now. Iâll go look for it!â
After hanging up, Ji Nuan mildly glanced at the darkened phone screen.
A moment later, she dialed another number. âPreviously, we discussed expanding the studioâs joint venture to London, England. Iâve approved of it, and Iâll head personally to London to sign the contract.â
After discussing various issues, Ji Nuan fell into another long, deep sleep.
She slept for longer than twenty-four hours, frightening Auntie Chen into calling Doctor Qin over. In the end, after Doctor Qin gave her a checkup, he directly rolled his eyes to say: âI thought something serious had occurred. Isnât she just sleeping? Whatâs there to be nervous about?â
âBut Madam woke up yesterday. At that time, it seemed like she was already fine. Why is she sleeping for so long...â
âSheâs just sleeping deeply. She will wake up when she wishes to.â Doctor Qin kept away the stethoscope and took a glance at Ji Nuan, before turning away to leave.
Hearing Doctor Qinâs words, Auntie Chen could only stay by Ji Nuanâs side to wait.
Xia Tian and Xiao Ba busied themselves for a day at the studio before returning. That night, Ji Nuan finally awoke again.
Indeed, just as Qin Siting had said, she was only sleeping. Although she slept longer than usual, when she woke up, her spirits appeared much better than before.
Ji Nuan had opened her eyes to the evening sky outside the windows.
The windows were opened, and the air was clean and slightly cold. She supported herself with the bed railings and slowly sat up.
âBoss, youâre awake!â Xiao Ba entered to see that Ji Nuan had sat up on the bed. She rushed over and pointed at the envelope she had left by her bedside. âIs this what you were referring to yesterday?â
Ji Nuan turned over for a glance. âYes.â
âWhat sort of document is it? Itâs already been delivered to you for a really long time, hasnât it? When I brought it out yesterday, I saw that it was actually unopened.â As Xiao Ba spoke, she opened a thermos flask with Auntie Chen. They wanted to let Ji Nuan eat a little.
âDid you bring a pen?â Ji Nuan asked.
Xiao Ba flipped through her bag and brought out a rollerball pen: âI did. But why do you need a pen, boss?â
âPut it down. Leave me for a moment.â
Auntie Chen and Xiao Ba exchanged glances. Xia Tian wasnât in the room, and the two did not pay much attention. They only saw that Ji Nuan appeared to be in a good state and quickly placed the thermos flask down, turning to step out of the room.
They closed the hospital room door from outside.
Ji Nuan tugged the sheets aside and got off the bed. She picked up the envelope and tore it open, bringing out the A4 sheets of paper inside. On the first page, the two words âDivorce Agreementâ was distinct and unpleasant on the eyes.
After seeing the header on the first page, she did not bother to look at the contents of the other pages. She directly flipped to the last page and opened the pen Xiao Ba had left her to sign on the blank space left for the female party to fill in.
There were two copies of the divorce contract. As Ji Nuan picked up the second copy to sign, Xia Tian pushed open the door to enter.
Xia Tian saw the words âDivorce Agreementâ from afar. Her eyelids twitched as she abruptly rushed forward. However, she was still one step behind. Ji Nuan had already signed the papers and returned it to the envelope, sealing it well.
âHave you gone mad?â Xia Tian asked in disbelief.
âMail it out for me tomorrow,â Ji Nuan calmly replied.
Xia Tian rushed to press down the bag by her hands, turning to look at Ji Nuanâs seemingly composed expression. âWho was the one who said sheâll never divorce Mo Jingshen in her lifetime? What is this divorce agreement about? Why did you sign on it? When did you print a divorce agreement? Why are you divorcing!â
Ji Nuan looked at her. âThe agreement was printed a while ago. Mo Jingshen was the one who mailed it to me.â
Xia Tianâs expression faltered. She appeared to understand something from Ji Nuanâs gaze and tone. Her hand slowly moved away from the bag, and after a long moment, she finally said, âYouâve been so quiet recently. Have you been suppressing this in your heart?â
Ji Nuan did not answer her question. Instead, she said, âI agreed to Mr. Zandâs suggestion and am preparing to move to England. Will you and Xiao Ba come with me?â
Xia Tianâs breath was caught in her throat. âI wonât ask about your divorce. But your studio is still in its early stages of development, and it has only just shifted locations. Even if you wish to reach for better opportunities, BGY and WK are also great prospective partners. Why must you leave all the way to England? Mr. Zand is famous for his devilâs hand in Englandâs financial world. He can, indeed, bring you countless opportunities. But if you choose to work with him, you wonât be able to return for quite a while. Are you sure you want to leave everything behind...â
Ji Nuan calmly lifted one side of her lips. âRather than staying within the country, I can gain so much more by going to Mr. Zandâs side. Currently, BGY and WK are not drawing external investors yet. If we take this step forward right now, by the time WK and BGY begin to propel forward, we would already be miles ahead of them. Who said that my only goal is to build this small studio well? Who says that I can only rely on the resources of various large local property corporations to survive? We can clearly do better than them, canât we?â
Xia Tianâs words were caught in her throat. She understood Ji Nuan too well, and so at this moment, all she could say was: âMust you leave?â
âAre there any reasons I should be staying in Hai City?â Ji Nuan refuted.
âRubbish. Itâs not as if you wonât be able to live after divorcing your man. You still have me, ah! Thereâs still the Ji family. There are so many people here...â
âItâs not as if Iâm never returning. This is simply an abroad partnership that will take some time to mature. Coincidentally, youâre around to take care of Hai Cityâs studio for me. If Xiao Ba is willing to follow me, let her come. Itâll be good training for her.â
âAnd Mo Jingshen? Divorce is but a legal process. Will you really be able to let go of him? Can you really... forget him?â
âI suppose so. He is already dead. Whatâs there to hold onto.â
â...â
...
Two days later, Mo Corporation abruptly received a package. The sender was Ji Nuan, and it was addressed to Mo Jingshen.
As Mo Jingshen had left for Lin City last night and would only be able to rush back in the afternoon, Shen Mu went to receive the package for him. As it was part of his job scope, Shen Mu always checked through all of the companyâs packages for problems before sending them to Mo Jingshenâs hands. Thus, he did not hesitate and directly opened the envelope.
After seeing the contents of the envelope, Shen Muâs expression became lifeless.
He rushed to dial Ji Nuanâs number and attempted to find clues from her words. However, she had no intention of denying anything.
Ji Nuanâs counterattack was swift and heartless, leaving them with no way of retaliating.
Mo Jingshen returned to the company right before the sky had turned dark. Shen Mu, who had yet to knock off from work, sent the document to his office.
âCEO Mo, this is... what Mrs. Mo has sent over.â Shen Muâs suppressed his tone: âItâs two copies of a signed divorce agreement.â
After returning to his office, Mo Jingshen had immediately begun scanning through several documents. He had only just opened a file sent over from the finance department and was holding a cool-toned, radiant fountain pen to read through it. Hearing Shen Muâs words, the pen around his grip abruptly twisted downward, leaving behind an ugly, long, blue mark on the paperâ
