"I know things won't go back to how they were, but I still wish to apologize for what my stepbrother did that ruined everything. Also, I am sorry that I am the reason for it," Said Nixxxie.
Jiang Yang interrupted her. "I don't blame you for anything, so you don't need to….."
"I need to. I came into your life, and when you all were happy together, but my presence caused the misfortune."
"Nicky…."
"Let me say it," Nixxxie insisted, and Jiang Yang kept quiet.
"Though I knew what kind of a person my stepbrother was, I still did what I should not have and ended up harming everyone. Only if I had behaved like how I was before I met you people. I should have maintained my way of living life by being away from everyone."
Every word she said made tears to roll down from her already swollen eyes, which indicated she had cried even before coming to this place.
"Then, it's not just your fault alone," Jiang Yang commented.
"You did nothing wrong," Nixxxie countered.
"I did. I have been warned to stay away from you, but I didn't listen to my friends, and I got punished for not listening to them."
"We both are at fault then. We caused harm to them," Nixxxie concluded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJiang Yang agreed. "Hmm!"
"I won't be able to forgive myself," she said.
"Neither I can," Jiang Yang added as he blamed himself.
There was a silence for a while as both needed to relax. The efforts of trying to stop tears made them heavy in chest and throat that it was impossible to get a word out. Both continued sitting on the sofa facing the same direction, not turning to look at each other even once.
Both knew that if they looked at each other, it would make them weak, and it would be hard to make the decision.
"Aren't you going to say what you are here for?" Finally, Jiang Yang broke that silence.
"Hmm! I..would be away," Nixxxie informed.
There was nothing to be shocked about as Jiang Yang already expected this.
"When are you leaving?" he asked.
"Tonight."
"Hmm."
Jiang Yang wanted to ask her more things but couldn't say a word. Asking more means breaking into the tears, then wishing for her not to go away.
"Be safe," he said without even asking where she was going.
Nixxxie nodded. "Hmm! I will be leaving then."
Saying Nixxxie got up. It worried her that she might not be able to leave if she stayed with him for long, and all the courage she had gathered for this moment would disappear.
Jiang Yang stood up too as he led her way towards the door and still both avoided looking into each other's eyes.
Once they reached the door, with a heavy heart, Jiang Yang held the door handle to open it. Something inside him was asking him not to open that door, but he had to.
Just as he was about to open the door, Nixxxie stopped him by putting her hand on his, which was at the door handle. It startled him, and he finally looked at her.
With her teary eyes, she looked at his moist ones, which were fighting hard to stop the tears. With her chocked voice, she said, "Just one last time."
Not waiting for a moment, Jiang Yang pulled her towards him, and the next moment his lips touched hers. Both kissed each other as if there won't be the next chance, and finally, Jiang Yang's eyes couldn't stop tearing up. Both continued kissing as their cheeks continued getting wet with the tears.
In a while, both parted, and Jiang Yang wiped her tears as he cupped her face in his hands. "Take care, Nicky."
Pulling out a smile on her shivering lips, she nodded, "Goodbye, Yang Yang."
Not waiting much, she opened the door and left while Jiang Yang didn't stop her. The moment the door closed, he kneeled on the floor and continued crying while leaning back at the door.
Nixxxie entered the elevator and tried not to cry aloud, but the moment she reached her car and sat inside, she couldn't hold it back and break into a loud cry while leaning at the staring wheels.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJiang Yuyan stayed late in the office as she had work. On the way to the Lu Mansion, Xiao Min informed, "Boss, Ms. Nicky is leaving for the USA tonight."
"Hmm!"
"Doctor Jiang Yang must not be in good condition," he added.
"Hmm!"
"Shouldn't the boss visit him or do something for them?"
"No need," A firm reply came from her.
"But boss…."
"I am not your previous Boss to meddle in everyone's life. Also, they are a.d.u.l.ts, and they can decide for themselves," Jiang Yuyan interrupted him as she closed her eyes.
Xiao Min could only look at his Boss feeling puzzled. He was sure that she was worried about her brother. That's why she waited at the bridge to look after her brother, but this attitude, which showed she cared for no one, was surprising.
Does she really change? Did that secret affect her this much that she was becoming cold with each passing day? Or she had something else in her mind that he can't think about? Is it her faked or she has really changed.
So many questions Xiao Min had in mind that made it chaotic. He felt like he could never understand her.
That night Nicky finally left for the USA. When Lu Feng got to know she had left, he felt bad for her and his friend. Though Jiang Yang asked him not to worry about him, he couldn't stop himself and went to Jiang Residence once he finished his work.
Entering the password, he entered the home and again saw Jiang Yang was sleeping on the sofa in the living room just like the previous night. He didn't disturb him and sat in the chair.
"Don't you have any work to do, Lu Feng?" Jiang Yang asked as he opened his eyes.
