All Chapters of Bump and Run: The Ex's Pursuit: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Returning to their respective duties, Kartika immersed herself in work with renewed focus. Before going upstairs, they agreed to take grandma to the hospital the next day, and speak with her about it after work. There was an unspoken understanding between them; neither brought up the topic of divorce. Their last trip to the civil affairs office was a heat-of-the-moment decision that unfortunately coincided with grandma's surgery complications, resulting in delays. This time, Kartika was not in a hurry. She decided it was best to wait until grandma had recovered from the surgery before going to the bureau to finalize the divorce, avoiding any potential complications. She suspected Farhan was likely thinking along the same lines.—Around noon, Kartika headed downstairs as usual to get some porridge, thinking of trying a different vegetarian flavor today. She had barely reached the lobby and was about to strike up a conversation with the vendor when her phone rang. The call was from Dim

After the meal, Kartika took a brief escape to the restroom to relieve the awkwardness. On her way out, however, she inadvertently ran into a familiar face in the corridor outside the washroom.Her steps halted as she recognized the young girl before her, not really a familiar person, but someone she had seen once at the hospital—Lin Meiran's daughter, Zhao Baor.Having previously encountered Lin Meiran when she planned to terminate a pregnancy, Kartika met Baor then. If it hadn't been for her daughter’s situation, Lin Meiran might have already broadcasted Kartika's business to the world.Seeing the girl, Kartika thought back to that day at the hospital when she firmly told Lin Meiran, "I love him."Baor wasn’t alone; a tall and skinny man with a handsome facade was bending over to hold her shoulders, pleading with a sorrowful expression."Baor, please do this for me. You're still young; you shouldn't have to stop schooling to have a baby right now, right? Plus, I'm not ready to be a

That evening, Kartika and Farhan passed on Dr. Chen's message to Mrs. Qin. The old lady had been nurturing her spirits well at home, her complexion better and her spirit brighter than when she was in the nursing home.She nodded in agreement at the suggestion of the checkup. "Going for the checkup tomorrow is fine, no problem at all." It seems that she has been enjoying the hustle and bustle of the outside world lately and was keen on getting the surgery done and recovering sooner.Kartika felt reassured by Mrs. Qin's apparent happiness. "Grandma, you seem really happy now?""Yes." Mrs. Qin held Kartika's hand with a sigh. "I thought I'd be confined to the nursing home indefinitely, but coming out to see the world again before the surgery makes me feel content. Even if I were to die in surgery, I wouldn't have any regrets now."Upon hearing this, Kartika's face turned pale. "Grandma, what are you talking about?"But Mrs. Qin's eyes were not sad. She looked towards Farhan and beckoned

Gu Yanxi stormed off in a huff, leaving only Farhan and Ji Qingbei at the bar. Ji Qingbei glanced at Farhan, who seemed lost in thought, and thus refrained from initiating further conversation.After a short silence, Farhan asked in a low voice, "What did you mean by what you said just now?"Ji Qingbei's lips curved up slightly, "Don't you already know the answer?"Farhan looked up, his gaze heavy and dark, seeking clarification."What answer?""Farhan, do you remember the last time we were here I asked you if, after all these years, you still hadn't figured out what you really want?"Farhan paused, recalling that Ji Qingbei had indeed inquired the same. The question felt familiar from earlier in the evening with his grandmother. However, when Ji Qingbei had asked previously, Farhan didn't give it much thought and disregarded the remark.Observing Farhan's silence, Ji Qingbei sighed softly, "You've watched her grow up, you've seen her through every mood and phase, and you know her ins

After Kartika fell asleep, her breathing gradually became even and deep. Farhan moved to the other side of the bed, where she lay turned away from him, and discovered she was indeed sound asleep—not just asleep, but in a peaceful, deep slumber.Touching the cheek that Kartika had slapped earlier, Farhan's expression was somewhere between reality and doubt—was it not for a faint soreness, he would have thought the previous uproar was a mere illusion. After all, who falls asleep in one moment, deeply and without care, straight after being furious?Kartika's recent changes were so significant that Farhan felt he barely knew her. His heart was unsettled, his emotions with no outlet, yet as he watched her serene sleep, he found himself rendered speechless. When he finally left the bedside, he did so with an almost lighter step.Settling on the sofa outside, Farhan couldn't deny the wakefulness of his mind despite the late hour; Ji Qingbei's parting words at the bar repeated themselves in h
