Chapter 739

~4 min read 760 words

The plane took off very quickly.

There was a lot of turbulence during the few days, and it was very bumpy.

Jiang Nannan felt a bit uncomfortable; Huo Jingyan was by her side, speaking to her in a gentle voice just like in the past: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Hearing the familiar words and feeling the familiar scene.

For a moment, Jiang Nannan thought she was in a dream.

Her whole body relaxed.

With a softened expression, she nodded toward Huo Jingyan, "Mm."

Just like in the past, she added another sentence, "I'm not afraid."

There was some surprise in Huo Jingyan's eyes; waiting for her for a day and deciding to return on the same flight as her was the right choice. The problems between him and her would slowly fade away, and gradually, they would have no impact on either of them.

"I brought a book, do you want to read it?"

After the plane leveled out, Huo Jingyan took out a book.

Jiang Nannan looked down and saw that it was actually a novel, the kind of pure romance novel about a CEO falling in love with me that she liked to read.

Young girls always like to have some unrealistic dreams.

The love in dreams is always passionate and moving.

She had known Huo Jingyan for so many years and had loved him for just as long; perhaps he understood her preferences better than she did herself.

On the plane, her eyes easily felt uncomfortable when looking at her phone, but that wouldn't happen when reading a book.

"Thank you." Jiang Nannan took the book.

It seemed she hadn't liked reading this kind of book for some time.

The romantic stories in books were likable in the past because she also possessed a sweet love just like in the books, and she always felt that the world in the books would become reality.

But recently...

She didn't like to dream anymore.

Seeing the cover image of the man and woman embracing on the book, she only felt that she wouldn't be able to get into this book.

However, since it was Huo Jingyan's good intention and thoughtfulness, she couldn't refuse.

She flipped through a few pages.

This book seemed to be an e-book she had read on her phone before.

She had even cried over the bumpy emotional journey of the male and female leads in the book, and had even said that if this book were published in the future, she would definitely buy a physical copy and read it all over again.

She didn't know if it was a coincidence, or if Huo Jingyan still remembered.

Huo Jingyan took in Jiang Nannan's expression and noticed her distraction.

Recently, when with him, Jiang Nannan would occasionally doubt herself, be distracted, and show intentional alienation and a sense of distance; how could he not feel it?

Regarding this meeting at the hotel and taking the same flight back to Jing City, she only had shock, not joy.

The girl he loved truly could not tolerate any sand in her eyes.

"Nannan, we will slowly get better, believe me." Huo Jingyan's tone was soft, even tinged with a bit of pleading.

Jiang Nannan felt her heart tighten as she listened, and waves of pain struck, lingering around her, making her want to escape, but her reason trapped her, making her nod involuntarily and say, "Mm, I believe you."

At this moment, Jiang Nannan understood very clearly that the belief she spoke of actually had no power left.

Once the trust between two people collapses, it is difficult to rebuild.

She was perhaps a bit willful and selfish.

Sheng An, who was sitting in front, would occasionally hear the two of them talking.

He also keenly sensed that the atmosphere between the two was not like that of an ordinary married couple.

He then understood that Huo Jingyan must have used some method to make Jiang Nannan disregard her original intentions, so that even if she could not tolerate sand in her eyes, she still forced herself to face, and even cater to, Huo Jingyan.

The short three-hour flight time seemed longer than usual.

Jiang Nannan really couldn't keep up the act; she recognized every word in the book, but looking at them, they didn't enter her brain, which felt filled with paste, muddled and confused.

It lasted until they got off the plane.

When Huo Jingyan held her hand.

She stiffly pulled her hand away, but after being tightly grasped by Huo Jingyan, she suddenly realized.
