Chapter 698

She could hear her mother's worry over the phone.

Jiang Nannan felt a bit helpless, but also somewhat at a loss.

She and Huo Jingyan...

"Mom, we're doing fine for now. After all, some things have happened, and we can't rush; we can only slowly eliminate the impact."

Mother Jiang: "You're right. As long as things are slowly getting better, that's good. If anything happens, you must tell Mom in time. Mom will help you face it and think of solutions together, okay?"

"Okay, don't worry, Mom."

After ending the call, Jiang Nannan looked at the fragrant boxed meal in front of her and instantly lost her appetite.

Between her and Huo Jingyan, they were now as polite as strangers—familiar yet distant strangers—and even when eating dinner together, it was hard to say a word.

She was very clear that Huo Jingyan was waiting for her to take the initiative to get close.

But...

There seemed to be many problems between her and Huo Jingyan.

These problems could not be solved overnight.

For the past few days, this feeling of powerlessness had become increasingly obvious; whenever Huo Jingyan wanted to have any physical contact with her, she would resist and want to dodge away immediately.

Even if she forced herself not to dodge.

Her body would still be uncontrollably stiff.

Huo Jingyan, being such a sharp person, must have noticed her resistance and did not force her.

It was just that...

Every time he got close, she would think of Ye Yaoguang.

And think of that video.

"Don't like today's food?"

Suddenly, Sheng An's inquiry came from above her head.

This question interrupted Jiang Nannan's wild thoughts just in time.

Jiang Nannan glanced at the food she had only eaten a few bites of, then looked up at Huo Jingyan, "Maybe I ate too much at home this morning, so I'm not very hungry right now."

The boxed meals provided by the film crew tasted good, and she had always liked eating them.

It was just that she had no appetite right now.

It was a bit of a pity to waste this food.

Sheng An did not expose Jiang Nannan, "Then don't force yourself to eat; order takeout later if you get hungry."

"Mm!" Jiang Nannan nodded immediately.

Sheng An took a deep look at Jiang Nannan, then threw himself back into filming.

Liu Hang came to Jiang Nannan's side and asked softly, "Nannan, have you encountered anything recently? Why do you seem so preoccupied?"

Since Sheng An couldn't ask, he would ask.

He could consider this as checking on an employee's mental health.

Jiang Nannan was a bit startled, "Is it that obvious?"

"It's alright. Being with you every day, I've noticed some changes since you came back to work a few days ago. Have you encountered anything unhappy recently?" Liu Hang asked.

After a few minutes of silence, Jiang Nannan spoke: "I have indeed encountered some problems recently and am facing a very difficult multiple-choice question. But don't worry, Brother Liu, I won't let these things affect my work."

"Of course I trust you." Liu Hang muttered to himself; he was worried about Sheng An.

However, facing a multiple-choice question?

Was it a question of whether or not to divorce President Huo?

It wasn't convenient for Liu Hang to ask these things.

Huo Jingyan had just finished a meeting.

After returning to his office, he habitually checked his phone.
