Chapter 29: Chapter Twenty-Seven

"Otherwise what? In broad daylight, what dare you do?"

"Bai Bai Ziling..." Di Di Zhiwei was truly torn. "Must we 'play' like this? I don't mind being beaten to death, but is it worth it? If you didn't care about my cousin, you wouldn't have rushed down from the mountain. Since you came, and my cousin is safe..."

"Di Di Zhiwei, are you a man? Haven't you always wanted to pursue me?" Bai Bai Ziling linked her arm with Di Di Zhiwei's. "I accept your pursuit."

"But you clearly said..." He was confused. "Don't play with me; I can't stand your flip-flopping!"

"Bai Bai Ziling, that's enough!" Jiang Jie stepped forward and pulled the two apart. "I can't watch this anymore!"

"Then goodbye." She turned and was about to leave.

Jiang Jie pulled her in front of him, pinching her chin as anger rapidly coalesced.

"I just returned from the gates of death; not dying was my good fortune. If you still want to be willful and throw tantrums, then I think it's over too!" Jiang Jie was, after all, a grown man; his patience had limits.

"Over is over!" Bai Bai Ziling said stubbornly.

"You two..." Di Di Zhiwei, caught in the middle, felt somewhat bewildered.

"Bai Bai Ziling, last chance. Think it through clearly."

She shouted, "Crystal clear!"

"I won't go up the mountain again." His expression said he meant what he said.

"If you can't do it, you're a pig!" She wanted nothing more.

"I'll have my lawyer send the divorce agreement to you."

"Grateful!"

"If this is truly what you want..." Jiang Jie had already given up. Some things simply cannot be forced. He had tried, and he was tired. "The ones in my hospital room just now were Yu Zi Si Qi and Cen Shi. I told you about them. I don't know what you didn't understand, but that is the fact."

Bai Bai Ziling froze. Had she really misunderstood?! Was it her own taking things out of context, failing to go in and verify properly? Or...

But Jiang Jie had already turned. This time he would not be humble, nor would he endure humiliation. If Bai Bai Ziling was destined not to belong to him, then even if he placed his dignity on the ground for her to trample, it would be useless. He decided to leave everything to heaven.

Watching Jiang Jie's back, Di Di Zhiwei helplessly looked at Bai Bai Ziling again, his posture one of surrender. "I've lost to you both."

"Di Di Zhiwei, could it be that I really..." Bai Bai Ziling started crying again.

"I don't care anymore!" Di Di Zhiwei snorted. "Your business; solve it yourselves!"

After Jiang Jie made the final decision to move the corporate headquarters to Shanghai on the mainland, all departments sprang into action. Even those who were reluctant to leave Taiwan prepared to "immigrate" for the high salaries and to avoid becoming unemployed.

Lately, Jiang Jie had been so busy he had no time to think about anything or anyone. All his energy and spirit were focused on the "landing." Anyway, the divorce agreement had already been sent; he had no more worries and could truly fight in the mainland market.

But even with such strong mental preparation, seeing Di Di Zhiwei saunter into his office with a carefree expression, he still felt an impulse to kill him.

"Express delivery!" Di Di Zhiwei slapped a large envelope onto Jiang Jie's desk.

Jiang Jie glanced sourly at the envelope, knowing exactly what it was.

"Nothing to say?" Di Di Zhiwei wore an expression of a mission accomplished. "Then I'm going up the mountain."

"Up the mountain?!" Jiang Jie thought Bai Bai Ziling had returned to her cousin's place again.

"Yes! To pursue Tong Yiwen, I have to go up the mountain."

"Tong Yiwen?!"

"Bai Bai Ziling's cousin!"

"Then what about Bai Bai Ziling?" Jiang Jie didn't know how things had turned out this way. "Di Di Zhiwei, what are you doing? Playing two boats at once?"

"I didn't borrow courage from heaven, and what does Bai Bai Ziling have to do with me? We are friends. At most, in the future, she might call me brother-in-law." Di Di Zhiwei smiled cunningly.

Jiang Jie clenched his fist; he was at a loss, filled with anger and helplessness.

"I heard her flight is at noon." Di Di Zhiwei said leisurely.

"What flight?" Jiang Jie's heart skipped half a beat.

"Bai Bai Ziling gave the coffee shop to someone else, took the money, and is going to Canada for study abroad. Her flight to Vancouver leaves at noon today."

"You're telling me only now?!" Jiang Jie sprang up.

"It's still in time." Di Di Zhiwei checked his watch.

"I'll kill you!" Before finishing, Jiang Jie rushed out.

"Kill me?" Di Di Zhiwei muttered to himself. "If you can't keep Bai Bai Ziling, I think you'll commit suicide first!"

Xia Zhen, Chang Chang Weiwei, and Sima Sima Xingchen went to the airport to see Bai Bai Ziling off. Although reluctant, studying abroad wasn't immigration, so there was no deep sorrow of parting. They were just worried about Bai Bai Ziling's mental state; after all, Bai Bai Ziling was single again, but was this truly what she wanted?

"Bai Ziling, take care!"

"Don't casually date foreign guys; love to use 'domestic products'."

"We'll wait for your return."

Bai Bai Ziling only nodded, saying nothing, afraid she would shed tears at the airport. She didn't want to go to Vancouver at all; her English was poor, she was in a strange land among strangers, and who would come to save her!

But now, besides leaving temporarily, what else could she...

"Bai Bai Ziling!" Jiang Jie's loud voice rang out in the airport departure hall. Everyone turned to look in his direction.

"Can't go!" Xia Zhen smiled.

"I knew I didn't need to come today." Sima Sima Xingchen whispered.

"I have to go back to feed my baby daughter." Chang Chang Weiwei added, "That cold-blooded professor is going to bang his head against the wall now!"

Before Jiang Jie could reach her, Bai Bai Ziling ran toward him. He extended his arms, but just before crashing into his embrace, Bai Bai Ziling braked, and Jiang Jie had to withdraw his arms.

"You... aren't you going to Shanghai?"

"You... aren't you going to Canada?"

"I already signed!" Bai Bai Ziling said somewhat unwillingly.

"It can be voided." He replied.

She asked joyfully, "Can it?"

"At most, we just get married again."

"So... I can really be your wife?!" Bai Bai Ziling's nose stung with emotion; her happiness was still firmly in her hands.

"Stay as long as you want, preferably forever!" Jiang Jie pulled her into his arms as if fearing she might fly away or vanish, holding her so tightly she could barely breathe. "Bai Bai Ziling, from now on, everything before this is reset to zero."

"Are you really willing to be tied to me for a lifetime?" She tilted her head up, looking at him with a coquettish expression. "Can you stand me?"

"I don't understand all women, but I am slowly understanding you..."

Her eyes widened. "Really?"

"Give me a little more time, those three words..."

"Jiang Jie, whether you can say those three words isn't important; what matters is whether you can live up to them!" She gently interrupted him. "We are both learning; I am no better than you."

"Bai Bai Ziling..."

"Luckily you didn't let me board that plane, or else..." She stuck out her tongue, shuddering at the thought. "I hadn't even thought about what Vancouver looks like; sending me there for a study abroad program..."

"My interest in Shanghai isn't that great either; Taiwan is after all my own home, my roots are here..."

"Speaking of 'home'... can we go back now?"

"What about Xia Zhen, Chang Chang Weiwei, and Sima Sima Xingchen..." He tilted his head to look in the direction of the three of them; they waved at him with smiles on their faces.

"Let them go back on their own." Bai Bai Ziling smiled more brilliantly than a flower.

"Does this count as forgetting friends for the sake of beauty?" He teased her.

"They will understand!" After saying this, she nodded toward the three of them.

"After all, we... have all caught a golden turtle husband."
