Ten Million, I Sold My Life Away - Chapter 16

Until the project ended, he never appeared before me again.

After the handover was complete, on the day I went abroad, he chased me to the airport.

He probably saw what I handed to his secretary-

The jade pendant I had sought for him years ago.

Inside that box was a piece of paper, already yellowed with age.

I had a selfish motive, secretly writing about my departure on it.

But the gift never had the chance to be given.

Perhaps it also foreshadowed our ending, with no chance for fulfillment.

Now that jade pendant hangs around Jiang Huaixu’s neck, and he seems to have returned to normal.

“Safe travels.”

“Mm.”

“Do you really have no plans to return home in the future?”

“Yes.”

“Then… Shengan has many branches abroad, if you need anything, feel free to ask me for help.”

“No need.”

He pressed his lips together, the corners of his eyes turning red, saying nothing more, just silently following me to the boarding gate.

Through the airport’s glass windows, one could glimpse the vast sky.

It was only early December, yet fine snowflakes were already falling, covering everything in white.

The weather forecast said this might be the coldest winter in years.

Holding my boarding pass, I stepped through the ticket check.

Jiang Huaixu was stopped outside, finally halting his steps.

“…Goodbye.”

“Mm, goodbye.”

The last farewell was brief and plain.

As I boarded, I discovered something extra had been slipped into my pocket.

A key, and a note.

[An Qin, I’ve rebuilt a house on that old plot of land, and bought many things for raising puppies.]

[This is what I owe you, if you ever return, you can go and see.]

[I will always wait for you.]

I felt no waves in my heart.

After getting off the plane, I casually found a trash can and threw it away.

Outside, the sun was bright and clear.

I understood very well.

Jiang Huaixu would no longer appear in my life.

(The End)
