Chapter 320: Chapter 340: Will This Divorce Ever Happen? _1

"Call me if you need anything."

Lin Chen sent Chu Jiaxue and Ouyang Le into the airport, handing the suitcase in his hand to Chu Jiaxue, and smilingly reminded her.

Ouyang Le rolled his eyes at him, "Kid, don’t expect any calls. Where we’re going, mobile phones aren’t allowed. But with me, an old man, around, you don’t need to worry."

No mobile phones?

Lin Chen curiously asked, "Senior, how long will it take? Give me a time frame, so I can be mentally prepared."

Ouyang Le glanced at Chu Jiaxue and hesitated before answering, "Let me put it this way, I’m taking her for a good cause. If she stays for a long time, it means she has succeeded. If she fails, she will return soon. So, when she comes back, you can be happy, and if she doesn’t, you should be happier for her."

Lin Chen laughed, "There should be a time frame, at least. I am her husband, after all. I should know something."

Ouyang Le looked at him with a subtle expression, "If she fails, she will return within ten days. If she succeeds, it could be as short as two months or as long as half a year. The timing is uncertain."

Lin Chen nodded and didn’t ask further. He turned to Chu Jiaxue, "You can relax and take care of things. I’ll take good care of the old man."

Chu Jiaxue didn’t know how long she would be away before, and now that she heard Ouyang Le mentioned it might be half a year, she suddenly panicked.

She and Lin Chen had agreed on a three-month deadline. If she came back within ten days, everything would still be on the original track. But if she didn’t come back, the deadline would have passed.

"Grandpa Ouyang, can I talk to Lin Chen alone for a moment?"

Ouyang Le laughed, "Sure, I’ll wait for you at the entrance."

After Ouyang Le walked forward, Chu Jiaxue hesitated and said, "We had a three-month agreement before, and now the deadline is approaching. If I come back, there’s nothing to say. But if I don’t come back soon... "

Lin Chen felt conflicted in his heart. When the time came, would they divorce or not?

Although he was conflicted, Chu Jiaxue was already at the airport. Lin Chen couldn’t say, "Let’s get a divorce before you leave." So he appeased her, "It’s okay; you take care of things first. Didn’t the old man say that if you can stay longer, it’s a good thing? Two months to half a year isn’t that long. Let’s talk about it when you return."

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes lit up slightly. She was honestly worried that Lin Chen was in a hurry to divorce her.

From Chu Jiaxue’s perspective, she didn’t really want to divorce. But the three-month agreement was something she had voluntarily signed, and she knew there might be a woman Lin Chen liked outside. If she didn’t divorce him, she would be breaking the contract and acting shamelessly. She couldn’t do that with her self-esteem.

Lin Chen took the initiative to let her come back and talk about it, which gave her a way out. It also relieved the pressure of facing the awkward decision of whether or not to divorce.

Chu Jiaxue nodded, "Okay, let’s wait until I come back. But as we agreed before, you can do whatever you want without considering me. If we go through with the divorce, I will do the paperwork with you when I come back."

Chu Jiaxue eventually felt a little embarrassed and mentioned the content of the contract again. It was like extending the contract, but the mutual non-interference was still in effect.

There was no reason to breach the contract due to her own reasons and drag Lin Chen along, right?

Maybe the person Lin Chen liked had been waiting for this three-month deadline for a long time...

As for her and Lin Chen, Chu Jiaxue couldn’t think too much about it. Some paths, once you start walking crookedly, may seem easy to get back on track but in reality, it’s extremely difficult.

Just let it be.

Last night, when Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue were in bed together, she had been ready to give herself to Lin Chen. But who knew that someone would interrupt them forcefully?

If they truly got together last night, Chu Jiaxue might have expressed her inner thoughts and left the decision of whether to divorce to Lin Chen. But since the two of them still haven’t crossed that line, she had no courage to make any demands or renege on the agreement.

"Alright, let’s talk about it when you come back."

Lin Chen agreed easily, feeling a little relieved in his heart.

This made him wonder, did he not want to let go of Chu Jiaxue? Did he fall in love with her?

What about Gu Yuexi?

Forget it. He had promised Gu Yuexi that he would give her an answer by the end of the three-month period, even if Chu Jiaxue wasn’t there. He would stick to it and tell her the truth when he gets back.

No matter what the future holds or if they could continue, at least they were not deceiving each other.

With those thoughts, Lin Chen’s mind became clear.

Chu Jiaxue looked at Lin Chen’s bright eyes and couldn’t help but step forward, hugging Lin Chen proactively, "Thank you, I’ve caused you too much trouble."

Lin Chen lightly tapped Chu Jiaxue’s forehead with his fingers, "We are a couple, after all. Why bother to distinguish so clearly?"
