CHAPTER 242: CHAPTER 241: IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE ME

In the end, staring at the elevator, she was still a bit dazed.

What a perfectly matched pair of a golden boy and jade girl, yet they were destined to have no fate together. She wanted to question the deity of love, wondering if he was drunk when he tied this red string.

"Resignation requires notice a month in advance, whether you are a new or old employee."

Tan Qing took a breath, standing side by side with Wen Nuan, his gaze fixed straight ahead. His voice remained low but was clear and forceful: "That means if you propose it now, you can only leave in a month."

A month...

Thirty days...

Even if he saw her just once a day, it would be thirty times, right?

He told himself, be content...

The elevator kept rising, and Wen Nuan was still biting her lip.

"You know Lin Xue will be particularly busy recently. As her favorite apprentice, leaving at this time is not good. You’ll feel guilty, won’t you?"

Tan Qing still looked ahead, his voice slightly softer. Wen Nuan seemed to hear the sound of him taking a deep breath.

He didn’t want to say it this way, he really didn’t.

"I’ll finish my tasks before I leave." She opened her mouth and said, "But it won’t be a month. Is ten days okay?"

"Okay."

Tan Qing closed his eyes and the hands in his pockets clenched into fists. With all his strength, he restrained his emotions and finally uttered one word.

Ten days...

Alright, let him take a look at her again in these ten days.

"Tan Qing, I..." Wen Nuan twisted her fingers, raising her eyes to look at him. After a long while, she could only utter one phrase: "I’m sorry."

"There’s no such thing as being sorry between us."

Tan Qing’s heart wrenched suddenly. He looked at her and gently spoke.

"If I had spoken earlier, all these problems wouldn’t have arisen. You’d still be smiling as you used to." Wen Nuan looked at those eyes, dim and without luster, feeling even more guilty in her heart. She tried to explain, truly feeling sorry for him.

But the relationship between her and Leng Yan was really hard to explain.

"I’m still the same as before, I’ll still smile." Tan Qing said, forcing a smile.

The smile was stiff, even he felt it, and hurriedly turned his head away.

"Are you trying to scare someone?"

Thinking of that evening at the banquet, he made her laugh, and she smiled awkwardly. That was what he said about her. At this moment, without thinking, he actually said it.

"Finally able to tell a joke, this way, actually... it’s also good."

Tan Qing smiled, seemingly brighter than before.

Good, just like this, they were two parallel lines that could never intersect. They couldn’t be together. But seeing the other party living well, he would be fine too.

But he knew within himself, in his heart, it hurt, it hurt so much...

The elevator reached the design department’s floor, and Wen Nuan hesitated, not knowing whether she should step out.

Tan Qing pressed the open button, looking at her:

"Submit your resignation letter directly to me. To avoid idle speculations, don’t mention this matter for now. Alright, go ahead."

"Okay." Wen Nuan agreed, nodding vigorously. In the end, when she stepped out, she still lightly said: "It doesn’t have to be me; it can be someone else."

Tan Qing, the person you love, doesn’t have to be me...

Go love someone else, your love, I can’t take. My love, I also can’t give you...

With light steps, she returned to the office. Lin Xue had already arrived, having taken another elevator. Seeing her return, Lin Xue forced a smile and asked: "Nuannuan, did Young Master Tan agree?"

"He asked me to wait ten days." Wen Nuan nodded, adding, "He told me to hand the resignation letter directly to him."

"Are you really not going to Italy? It’s a wonderful opportunity." Lin Xue was still somewhat unwilling: "Even if you marry Leng Yan, you can still stay at MT."
