My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 2144: Chapter 2146: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

The identity of someone is self-evident.

He sat at the dining table holding a dog and softly asked the dog, "Do you like her?"

The corgi widened its eyes, seemingly unsure if it understood, and barked excitedly.

"Tsk." Fu Yi lowered his eyelids, speaking slowly, "Yeah, I like her too."

It’s agonizing to have to let go of someone you love dearly. Once you do, you regret it, just like someone with a terminal illness who knows painkillers are merely a placebo, unable to save their life, yet still desperately wants them.

Even if it’s just a little, it feels a lot better.

Jiang Nuan returned home, collapsing onto the sofa, completely devoid of any desire to cook. After lying for a while, she got up and rummaged through the cabinet to find a cup of instant noodles, expertly boiling water to prepare them.

Three minutes later, she was devouring a big bowl of instant noodles eagerly.

Her stomach was finally filled, and she let out a satisfied belch, cleaned up the table, and as she passed by the kitchen, she noticed the lights on across the street.

"I wonder if that neighbor has gotten up to eat yet, and whether he can handle spice?"

Hot pot isn’t tasty without chili, so she didn’t make a clear broth.

Of course, another reason she didn’t make a divided hot pot was because she found it bothersome! Being forced to help with cooking was already frustrating enough, she had no heart to prepare a divided hot pot for someone else.

Jiang Nuan retracted her gaze, biting her lip, and decisively washed her bowl and chopsticks, "Forget it, you’re someone who eats instant noodles yourself. Why worry about whether others can eat spicy hot pot? Do you live by the sea?"

Eh!

Staring at the empty instant noodle bowl in her hand, she sighed, too shabby!

After tidying up the kitchen and with her stomach full, Jiang Nuan sat cross-legged on the bed, opened her laptop.

Mahali’s internet speed was poor, even playing games was difficult. Every time she called the network company for repairs, it took a week, so Jiang Nuan gave up her gaming hobby here and usually just used her laptop to chat or watch movies.

She logged into her Instagram, while opening her downloaded domestic TV watching app, just about to find something to watch.

Suddenly, the message notification from the corner of the laptop started beeping.

Who could it be?

She clicked on the flashing avatar, and sure enough, it was Lemon the night owl.

[Raise your hand and pull the faint: tt, girl, come chat for two minutes, I see you’re online.]

[No heating in the south: It’s 2 a.m. in China now, aren’t you sleeping? Not working tomorrow?]

[Raise your hand and pull the faint: Haha, not a chance! That jerk I told you about cut me off again. I’ve been following this case for almost half a month, and as soon as he arrived, the client changed face and insisted on hiring him. I’m at least a somewhat renowned lawyer, right? It’s just a divorce property division case, isn’t it? They even told me I’m not as qualified as that jerk. I’m the top lawyer in China, yet I’m stuck handling his petty rooster fights! Just some idle person competing with me for business every day!]

[No heating in the south: ...]

[Raise your hand and pull the faint: Enough about me. How have you been recently?]

[No heating in the south: Same old. Work, sleep, eat. Oh, something’s different. A particularly thick-skinned neighbor moved in across from me lately and I’ve already unlocked two skills: walking his dog and cooking for him. Who knows if I’ll unlock more skills later.]

[Raise your hand and pull the faint: You’re not... falling in love, are you?]
