Chapter 728

My hands are full, I can't answer the phone for now.

She hurriedly used her room card to open the door.

After putting her things down, she didn't see who was calling, but answered the phone anyway.

"Hello."

"Are you getting used to the hotel?"

Huo Jingyan's inquiry came through the phone.

The hand Jiang Nannan was using to hold the phone trembled slightly.

Jiang Nannan looked stunned for a moment, then reacted belatedly and said, "The hotel environment is nice, there's a large supermarket right next to it, it's convenient and good for shopping."

She also knew that her current way of speaking was too formal, revealing a sense of estrangement.

Therefore, her heart felt somewhat heavy, a kind of discomfort that she couldn't put into words.

"Mm, I just happened to come here for a business trip, I'm in a top-floor suite," Huo Jingyan said after a pause of several seconds.

Jiang Nannan's expression changed abruptly, "You're at this hotel too?"

What a coincidence?

"Mm."

Jiang Nannan bit her lip and made a decision, "Alright, I'll come upstairs to find you later."

Ten minutes later.

After Jiang Nannan delivered the items to Sheng An and Liu Hang, she went to the top-floor suite.

She knocked on the door a few times.

Huo Jingyan opened the door directly almost the very next second.

Jiang Nannan's heart felt heavy, and she walked inside.

The space in the suite was much larger than her room.

"The suites in this hotel are really nice," Jiang Nannan said with a somewhat stiff smile.

The time they had spent together recently made her gradually realize that although they were both trying very hard, it was difficult to return to the way they once were.

In the past, their mutual trust had not collapsed, and no matter what they did, they didn't have to be overly cautious.

There was even less need to worry about so much; she would involuntarily act spoiled with Huo Jingyan and tell him her innermost thoughts, but now...

She no longer wanted to share her affairs and innermost thoughts with Huo Jingyan.

Huo Jingyan was a master of strategy in the business world; how could he not see through her changes and the state of their marriage?

She knew that Huo Jingyan must have sensed it long ago.

"Come up and stay with me? I'll be staying here for three days," Huo Jingyan gazed at Jiang Nannan with deep eyes and asked in a gentle tone.

His eyes were filled with a message that all adults would understand.

Jiang Nannan's heart gave a violent jolt.

She pursed her red lips slightly, and her face involuntarily turned pale.

Scenes of Huo Jingyan and Ye Yaoguang together kept flashing before her eyes, as if the loving gaze Huo Jingyan was giving her now was meant for Ye Yaoguang, not her.

She clenched her hands tightly.

But she still couldn't stop those fragments from flooding into her mind.

She kept telling herself in her heart that those things were not what Huo Jingyan wanted to happen, that he was just set up by someone else, that she was a victim, and Huo Jingyan was also a victim.

She slowly lowered her head and said in a very small voice, "I'm working, I have to accompany Sheng Laoshi to attend an event tonight, it's not very convenient to stay with you, let's... wait for next time."

The light in Huo Jingyan's eyes gradually dimmed, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you still very bothered by it?"

He watched helplessly as Jiang Nannan walked further and further away.

In the opposite direction from him.

Jiang Nannan's eyes turned red, and she gathered her courage to look up at him, "I still can't forget."

The aura around Huo Jingyan suddenly became colder, and the veins on his forehead became even more prominent.

The two of them fell into a long silence.

For a moment, Jiang Nannan had the illusion that Huo Jingyan would say, "Then let's just break up like this, and go our separate ways from now on."

Just thinking about it, the heavy weight pressing on her heart seemed to be gradually disappearing.
