Chapter 639

A dense, pervasive pain.

It all came rushing out.

She tossed her phone aside and let it ring.

She had assumed Huo Jingyan wouldn't call again, but he kept calling.

It seemed that as long as she didn't answer, he would keep calling, and he might even show up at her door.

She really didn't want to face him.

She picked up the phone and answered.

"What do you want with me?"

Huo Jingyan listened to Jiang Nannan's cold inquiry, and there was silence on the line for a few seconds. "Have you been drinking a lot?"

Jiang Nannan frowned; no wonder Qiao Muting was able to find her here, he must have asked Huo Jingyan. "I haven't had much. Besides asking about this, is there anything else? If there's nothing, I have things to attend to."

"I'll come take care of you," Huo Jingyan said in a deep voice.

Jiang Nannan sat up from the sofa. "Huo Jingyan! Can you stop acting like nothing happened? You can't be that selfish. You know me better than anyone; you should understand my current state of mind. I can't face you. As long as I see you, I think of you cheating with Ye Yaoguang. I can't forget it!"

"Nannan, forgive me this once, just this once. I can prove to you that it's not what you think. I only have you in my heart," Huo Jingyan said in a deep voice.

Jiang Nannan acted as if she had heard a joke. "Just this once, and you've already caused our mutual trust to collapse. Huo Jingyan, I can forgive you, but I absolutely cannot continue to be with you. We can be like siblings in the future, but definitely not husband and wife. Can we part on good terms?"

Huo Jingyan gripped his phone tightly, and after a long while, he gave a response.

"Absolutely impossible. You'll understand in time."

Then he ended the call.

It was Huo Jingyan who hung up first.

After the words "absolutely impossible," Jiang Nannan's face turned pale, inch by inch.

What exactly is he insisting on! A marriage with cracks, an unfaithful marriage—is there any need for it?

On the way back to Xinghai Villa.

Shu Xia lay on Qiao Muting's lap like a little cat.

Her breathing was steady.

Qiao Muting looked at the carefree and deeply asleep Shu Xia, and raised an eyebrow imperceptibly.

She fell asleep as soon as she got in the car, and she still claimed she hadn't drunk much?

"Such a stubborn mouth," Qiao Muting curled his thin lips coldly, muttering icily.

The driver's back immediately straightened.

The Madam is already asleep, so why is Qiao still angry?

He suddenly felt a bit afraid that Qiao might throw the Madam out in a fit of anger.

Immediately after, a command came from Qiao Muting in the back: "Drive slower."

"Ah, okay." The driver was startled; Qiao's mood changed too quickly. A moment ago it seemed like a storm was brewing, and in the blink of an eye, he was concerned about the speed.

It was clearly because he was worried that the speed was too fast and would disturb the Madam's rest.

His speed was already very, very slow, and he watched as car after car overtook him.

And the drivers who overtook him all turned their heads to look at him.

Every look seemed to be saying, driving such a nice car, yet your driving skills are this poor?

Although it was at a snail's pace, they finally arrived at Xinghai Villa forty minutes later.

Qiao Muting carried Shu Xia out of the car.

"Qiao, I'll go open the door." After the driver got out of the car, he immediately ran over to help.

They had already arrived at Xinghai Villa, yet Qiao couldn't bear to wake the Madam; he definitely held the Madam in the palm of his hand.

It's just that Qiao often has a cold face, so the Madam must find it hard to feel Qiao's intentions.

He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Qiao.

Before going inside, Qiao Muting glanced at the driver, who was hesitating to speak. "Do you have something to say to me?"

The driver hurriedly said, "There is something I don't know whether I should say."

"Speak."
