Chapter 247 - 130: Chen Yuan Left, Can’t Be a Little Woman Anymore

Chapter 247: Chapter 130: Chen Yuan Left, Can’t Be a Little Woman Anymore

Chen Yuan snickered to himself, and Jiang Wanyi reached over to pinch him.

"I don’t know how it happened either. She just picked it up after watching that cartoon."

"Just be more careful from now on. Don’t let her watch any more cartoons like that."

"Got it."

She had wanted to see more of her daughter, but after that, they only exchanged a few more words before Jiang Wanyi ended the video call.

"You’re the one who taught her that. The truth is going to come out sooner or later."

"Let it come out, then. Just ask your mom what the bride price is, and I’ll do my best to save up for it as fast as I can."

"PFFT... HAHAHA..."

Jiang Wanyi laughed hysterically, reaching out to give Chen Yuan a playful slap.

"The more you talk, the more ridiculous you get."

With their daughter not at home, the two of them felt particularly relaxed.

That evening, they ordered some food and had a few drinks at home.

That night, Jiang Wanyi couldn’t bear to fall asleep. Chen Yuan was leaving the next day, and they wouldn’t see each other again for another month.

But the night would eventually pass, and the light of dawn would inevitably arrive.

「The next morning」

Jiang Wanyi was up bright and early.

In addition to making breakfast for Chen Yuan, she also packed the things he needed to bring home.

Everything fit into a single backpack, so it wouldn’t be too heavy for him.

After breakfast, Jiang Wanyi changed into a pair of slim-fit jeans, a black top, and a black trench coat. The outfit perfectly highlighted her mature charm and temperament, even giving her a somewhat cool and aloof air.

Since they had to catch a flight and she was worried about being late, Jiang Wanyi drove him all the way to the airport herself instead of letting him drive.

"Text me when you land, and text me again when you get home," Jiang Wanyi said, her voice listless and her spirits low.

"I’ll be back in a month. Why are you crying?"

After several months together, Jiang Wanyi had grown accustomed to having Chen Yuan in her life.

She was certain that no matter what happened, Chen Yuan would be there for her in a heartbeat.

Now he was going home, and she wouldn’t see him again for over a month. Her life would have to return to how it was before. Despite trying to prepare herself mentally, when the moment finally came, she still couldn’t accept it.

He gently wiped away her tears.

"Stay home for a few extra days. You don’t need to rush back. Spend more time with your parents."

"I’d rather come back sooner to be with you and our little one than stay longer with my parents."

"You’re impossible."

Jiang Wanyi smiled through her tears.

"They’re making the announcement. You should go in now."

Smiling, Chen Yuan opened his arms. Jiang Wanyi fell into his embrace, pressing her head against his chest as they held each other tightly.

In that moment, all the emotions that had been weighing on her heart seemed to melt away.

’It wasn’t a big deal, really. He’d be back in just over a month. It wasn’t some life-or-death farewell.’

"I’m going."

"Okay."

Jiang Wanyi nodded, pulling away from him.

With his backpack on, Chen Yuan turned and walked away.

"Chen Yuan!"

Just as he turned to leave, Jiang Wanyi called out to him.

Chen Yuan turned back and saw Jiang Wanyi walking toward him.

Light as a dragonfly skimming water, Jiang Wanyi planted a quick kiss on Chen Yuan’s cheek, then pulled back to look at him with a radiant smile.

"Alright, you can go now."

Chen Yuan gave a silly grin. He couldn’t quite put his finger on the feeling, but he suddenly found himself reluctant to leave.

"I’m going."

"Mm-hm."

Chen Yuan left. After he went through the gate, he turned back to wave at Jiang Wanyi.

And so, Jiang Wanyi watched him go until he disappeared from view.

HAAAAAH...

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Wanyi turned and walked toward the exit, looking both beautiful and fiercely confident.

’Without Chen Yuan by my side, I can’t just be a soft, little woman.’

Once she got in her car, she received a message from Chen Yuan. He was already on the plane.

Jiang Wanyi: "Text me when you land."

Jiang Wanyi: "And let me know when you’re home."

Chen Yuan: "Okay."

Sitting in her car, Jiang Wanyi didn’t leave right away.

Around twelve-thirty, a roar echoed from above. A white plane, like a swan with outstretched wings, soared overhead.

Jiang Wanyi held up her phone. The screen showed her face, and behind her, the plane soaring toward the distant north.

’Have a safe trip, baby’s dad...’
