BXBX NOVEL Chapter 3575 Untitled
Dong Yujie did not expect Jiang Huaizhou to stop working.
"Wait for me," said Jiang Huaizhou, as he stood up to open the office door.
All the employees outside looked over subconsciously.
However, they looked away in guilt. They knew that they could not let Jiang Huaizhou know that they were gossiping around.
Jiang Huaizhou obviously knew that they were gossiping around, but he did not care.
"If there\'s nothing big that will cause the company to go out of business this morning, don\'t look for me," said Jiang Huaizhou.
Everyone understood that they should not go to him if there was nothing important.
After Jiang Huaizhou finished, he returned to the office and pulled Dong Yujie up.
"Where are we going?" asked Dong Yujie, curious.
She thought they would talk in the office.
"We have to find a more quiet place," said Jiang Huaizhou, "There are too many people watching here."
Even if there were walls and windows and the employees outside could not see nor hear anything from the inside, Jiang Huaizhou still felt that this was a bad place for them to talk.
Dong Yujie also realized this and suddenly felt that it was uncomfortable staying there.
She felt stressed just by the thought that her every moved would be watched by a lot of people
Jiang Huaizhou also knew that she forgot about this.
But once she became aware of this, she would definitely regret chatting with him in the office.
That was why Jiang Huaizhou brought it up first.
In the end, Jiang Huaizhou brought Dong Yujie to a cafe nearby.
This cafe had private rooms which were good for at least two people to talk without being disturbed.
Both of them ordered their coffee.
When the coffee came, the whole room was filled with the aroma of the coffee.
Their mood was calmed by its smell.
"I actually lived every day simply and quietly. I would go out for walks, drink tea when I had nothing to do, and sunbathe," said Dong Yujie, "There\'s nothing special."
"It\'s fine, I want to listen to those too. If you can remember what you ate for all three meals, tell me, I want to listen," said Jiang Huaizhou.
Dong Yujie was surprised. "How can I still remember these? Besides, even if I remember, how long do I have to talk?"
"Take your time. Anyway, it\'s not like we only have this morning\'s time. We still have a lot of time in the future." Jiang Huaizhou smiled at Dong Yujie.
"Whatever that we can\'t finish this morning, we can talk about it next time," said Jiang Huaizhou.
Dong Yujie obviously could not tell Jiang Huaizhou what she ate for her three meals every day.
She really could not remember.
But, what she could remember was what she ate two days ago. She could also remember what she ate one day ago.
Other than that, she could not remember anymore what she ate past that period.
Dong Yujie told Jiang Huaizhou about every interesting event that she could remember.
She also talked about some knowledge, the local culture, and the friends and elders that she encountered while she was living in the ancient city.
The little things that happened every day.
At first, Dong Yujie was worried that she would forget many things.
But now that she was talking about it, she realized that she could remember a lot of little details.
Thinking about it now, the time spent in the ancient city was a rare, very good time for her.
It was probably the best time she had after Jiang Huaizhou entered jail.
"If I don\'t bring it up, I won\'t even know how clearly I remember living in the ancient city." Dong Yujie smiled faintly.
"Do you like your life there?" asked Jiang Huaizhou.
"Dong Yujie nodded. "Life there is carefree and slow-paced. Every morning, I will eat breakfast after waking up. Then I\'ll drink tea and chat with the people around. Subconsciously, the time went by quickly."
"In the ancient city, other than the young people who opened stores like cafes, many handicrafts and local specialty shops are all opened by middle-aged people. The rest are just the old people and kids that haven\'t started school."
"I watched the elderly sit in front of their doors every day, holding a fan in the summer while drinking tea and chatting. Or they would do some house chores while chatting. As for the kids, they would run around and make noises."
"They could have a lot of fun with toys that are unremarkable, like sandbags." As Dong Yujie talked and talked, her gaze seemed to be looking far away.
"They don\'t have a lot of desire for physical things, but they are still happy everyday," said Dong Yujie smiling, "I do like that kind of life."
Jiang Huaizhou pondered and analyzed. "I am in the midst of starting a business. Even if my business is stable in the future, I can\'t keep staying in the ancient city, so I am afraid I can\'t stay in the ancient city with you."
Surprised, Dong Yujie looked at Jiang Huaizhou.
How could he think of bringing her to the ancient city to live together?
Jiang Huaizhou explained, "I see that you like living in the ancient city. Even talking about it now, your eyes are filled with memories and reluctance."
Because of him, not only could he not satisfy Dong Yujie, he had to make her give up her preferred life to stay with him.
Jiang Huaizhou felt sorry.
He could not even fulfill her preferences, how could he talk about treating her well?
Jiang Huaizhou blamed himself, feeling like he was useless. He said to Dong Yujie, "But if there are holidays, I will bring you there. Other places too, we\'ll go wherever you want to go."
"I will try to get more holidays, then we can stay at a place you like for some time," said Jiang Huaizhou, "In the future, we don\'t need to wait till we retire."
"When we\'re forty or fifty years old and our kids can take over, I will retire and give the company to them." As for whether the company could last until then, Jiang Huaizhou had never doubted it.
He had never thought that he would fail.
"When that time comes, we\'ll go wherever you want to go," said Jiang Huaizhou.
Dong Yujie thought that she had just mustered up the courage to get together with him.
And now he was already thinking of kids?
However, this also made Dong Yujie\'s restless heart calm down.
Jiang Huaizhou had already planned so far into the future. He even made a plan for when his children took over the company.
With long-term considerations like that, he really wanted to be with her for the rest of his life.
Dong Yujie could finally calm down.
Her shoulders relaxed and naturally dropped down.
"We\'ll talk about it when the time comes. Actually, I don\'t want to go back now," said Dong Yujie.
"Although it\'s good and quiet there, it\'s not my home. My family is not there," said Dong Yujie, "When I was out alone, I would still feel lonely and miss you guys sometimes."
When Jiang Huaizhou heard this, he felt both sorry and happy.
He was sorry that she had to be alone outside.
But he was happy that she said that she missed them.
She included him.
She also missed him.
"It doesn\'t matter where, as long as I\'m next to my family," said Dong Yujie.
"Actually, I came back this time and made a decision. Even if we didn\'t get together, I won\'t leave."
"While I was out of town, I didn\'t even know that Mom divorced, and left her alone for so long."
