Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 2222: Chapter 2217: Touched His Reverse Scale

”Hua Jin! We’ve grown up together, we’re childhood sweethearts! Do these ten-plus years of being together mean nothing compared to the few months you’ve known An Hao?” Yuan Yunong’s eyes reddened, tears of anger and despair slowly streamed down her cheeks.

”Stop those tears.” Hua Jin slowly let go of Yuan Yunong’s hand, ”If you keep making such a fuss and drawing everyone’s attention to us, you’ll be in trouble! This is a public place, I’m here to communicate and hand over work with you, not to be interrogated! I’m certainly not here to talk about romance with you!”

Yuan Yunong bit her lower lip, forcing her emotions back. It took her a while to barely calm down: ”Why An Hao? Why do you have to take her away? Do you like her that much?”

”This is my business and it’s none of your concern!” Hua Jin said, ”Just do your job. If you feel that staying here you can’t control your behavior, just go back. I’ll have someone else come to take over!”

”What do you mean by that? I’ve been back in the country for so long, and this mission is almost complete! You want to replace me? Isn’t that stealing my efforts?” Yuan Yunong angrily stabbed the meat on her plate with her chopsticks in frustration.

”You brought this upon yourself. Do you realize your recent actions have been full of holes? You’re no longer a competent intelligence agent. Your presence only puts others in danger! Therefore, I’ve been considering transferring you out quickly! Go back and prepare!” Hua Jin pondered over it again and realized that this was the only way everyone would be safe.

”No! I won’t leave! Hua Jin, you can’t treat me like this!” Yuan Yunong raised her hand to grasp Hua Jin’s hand placed on the edge of the table, but he shook it off. She stared at him in shock for a moment and saw the anger and determination in his eyes. She knew she had touched his bottom line.

He is the leader of an organization; he has the right and power to execute her.

However, perhaps he still remembered their past and had not acted against her.

”Hua Jin, I understand, I understand...” Yuan Yunong sheepishly withdrew her hand. She didn’t want to completely fall out with Hua Jin, she adored this man, even if he didn’t love her back, even showing concern would suffice, ”You want An Hao just because of the mission requirements, right? That’s it! Otherwise, when Hong Mei nearly killed An Hao, why didn’t you even go to see her?”

She was giving herself a way out.

But, Hua Jin didn’t want her to remain lost in her fantasies, so he lifted one corner of his mouth in a smile and said, ”How do you know I didn’t go see her? She stayed in the hospital for eight months; how do you know I didn’t visit her during those eight months? You’re wrong, I held her hand, lightly kissed her forehead...”

”Enough! Enough! Stop talking. I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it!” Yuan Yunong quickly covered her ears, feeling like a sharp blade had pierced deeply into her heart, and then was forcefully twisted.

”If you don’t want to hear, I won’t say it. Now, let’s talk about taking the child away! In three days, I’ll have everything arranged for you to take the child out of the country! Deliver the child to headquarters, then I’ll give you a two-month vacation!”

”What about you?” Yuan Yunong asked, still staring at him.

”I...” Hua Jin slowly turned his head toward the window, said, ”I’ll wait a bit longer!”
