"Hubby, I'll be home later. Are you busy today?" Jiang Nannan asked in a soft voice.

Huo Jingyan was silent for two seconds on the phone before saying, "I'm arriving at the airport soon. I originally intended to call you at the airport, but I've been too busy. Take good care of yourself these two days; I'll keep you company when I return from my business trip."

"Another business trip? If I had known, I would have gone to the airport to see you off, and we could have met."

Although she had some mental preparation, Huo Jingyan's answer still made Jiang Nannan feel a heavy sense of discomfort in her heart.

"I'll be back in a couple of days, be good! I'll miss you." Huo Jingyan coaxed Jiang Nannan gently in a tender tone.

Jiang Nannan was very susceptible to this, "Alright then."

The driver saw Jiang Nannan hang up the phone, "Can we go now?"

Jiang Nannan looked toward the building of the Huo Family Company.

It was a pity that her husband wasn't inside; she had originally thought about going to give him a surprise.

Just as she opened her mouth to tell the driver to go, she suddenly caught sight of Huo Jingyan walking out.

Jiang Nannan's expression changed abruptly.

Didn't he say he was arriving at the airport soon?

Wasn't he very busy, busy with a business trip?

Watching Huo Jingyan get into a car and then leave from before her eyes, Jiang Nannan felt as if someone had swung a Boxing punch at her head.

It hit her so hard she felt dizzy and disoriented, unable to tell north from south.

Her whole head was roaring.

It was only after the driver called her several times that she came back to her senses with a snow-white face.

Huo Jingyan's car was long gone from before her eyes.

"Sorry, let's go."

The driver saw that Jiang Nannan's face was deathly pale; she had been a particularly lively and cheerful young girl when she got in the car, yet in the blink of an eye, it was as if she had suffered a huge blow?

He recalled the phone call the young girl had just made to her husband.

As someone who had been through it all, and being a man himself, the middle-aged driver kindly advised: "You haven't been married long, have you, young lady? Don't be too heartbroken over a man. When you have time, go out and see more of the world; sometimes you need to put more focus on yourself. Whatever you do, don't lose yourself for the sake of a man."

Besides, even if you lose yourself, it doesn't mean the man will love you any more for it.

That's just how men are!

It was very realistic; the middle-aged driver didn't continue, as the young girl looked very smart and should be able to understand the meaning behind his words.

Jiang Nannan was somewhat dazed, the hand holding her phone trembling.

She didn't even know what she was thinking about in her mind.

Hearing the middle-aged driver's words, they felt like a voice from beyond the heavens, unable to sink into her mind at all.

She arrived home in a stupor.

And in a daze, she ate a bowl of instant noodles.

In the end, it was a call from Sheng An that brought her back to her senses.

"Are you home?" Sheng An asked.

"I'm home."

Jiang Nannan's voice was a bit muffled, and only after she started speaking did she realize she had been crying while eating the instant noodles.

Now that she spoke, her voice still carried a sobbing tone.

Sheng An paused for a few seconds, "You were crying?"

"Ah... I... I just watched a TV show where the heroine was deceived by the hero. The heroine trusted the hero so much, but in the end, the hero still lied to her. Is there really not a single good man in this world?" Jiang Nannan didn't even know what she was saying.

She felt that certain things she firmly believed in were collapsing.

Collapsing incessantly.

Sheng An sensed that Jiang Nannan's emotions were not right, "Jiang Nannan, what happened?"

"No... nothing happened. I won't talk anymore, I have something to do right here. See you tomorrow, Sheng Laoshi." Jiang Nannan hung up the phone in a rush.

Then, with trembling hands, she dialed Shu Xia.
