Time did not let go of the expression on Jian Yunong's face, "You know about this too?"
Of course, Jian Yunong did not know about this matter.
"Do you hate Huo Jincheng?" Time asked, hands in pockets, and Jian Yunong's silence was within his expectations.
Yi Nansheng had once been very important in Jian Yunong's life.
"To be honest, I don't hate him. This incident was an accident. The person flying the plane wasn't Huo Jincheng, nor did Huo Jincheng do anything wrong. It was due to weather conditions and issues with the plane itself; the pilot and the airline should be held responsible."
Did she hope to hate Huo Jincheng?
She couldn't do it.
Time approached Jian Yunong, his tall figure casting a strong sense of pressure over her.
Those tears flowed out effortlessly.
When Time's hand merely rested on her jaw, forcing Jian Yunong to meet his gaze, she covered her lips and rushed to the bathroom.
The churning feeling in her stomach was completely uncontrollable.
"I can't do it."
Tears streamed down Jian Yunong's cheeks, "Maybe by the time I throw up, there won't even be any bile left... or... if you take medicine with me, take sleeping pills, I could continue on with you."
Time lowered his eyes, "You should sleep first."
Jian Yunong looked at his back, revealing a look of surprise. Just a moment ago, she thought this person wanted to use coercive means against her.
"Mr. Shi..."
Suddenly, Jian Yunong called out to him.
"Can I know the reason? Why are you so obsessed..."
She believed she wasn't particularly beautiful, lacking the kind of allure that would make Time go to any lengths.
With such wealth, resources, and power, what kind of woman couldn't he have?
Time recalled the first time he saw Jian Yunong at Night Palace.
She held his hand.
Clearly, she was the one in a dangerous situation, yet she was worried about his safety.
As for that time in Prague...
Time would not admit it.
Since she was uncertain, he would not admit it either.
"Jian Yunong, leave with me. This is my only request."
Jian Yunong looked at Time's back and weakly replied, "Okay."
For her aunt.
Jian Yunong could only say that.
Her aunt still had hope; she could return to her original life path.
But Jian Yunong had lost all hope.
She could not have children.
"When are we leaving? I hope to get out of this place as soon as possible."
"Tomorrow morning."
Jian Yunong is taking the 5 AM flight for the first time.
The entire city is still asleep.
"I would like to buy a copy of the Nancheng newspaper."
Jian Yunong made the request to Time's assistant.
The beautiful maid looked at Time, and after receiving permission, the morning edition of Nancheng was handed to Jian Yunong.
Time sat on the other side of the cabin, not sitting with Jian Yunong. Sipping red wine, Time finished dealing with work matters and looked at Jian Yunong under the sunlight.
In the golden light, tears fell drop by drop, as if it suddenly started to rain.
And she was still holding a newspaper in her hand.
If Time remembered correctly, an hour ago, after the plane stabilized, she had been reading this newspaper.
An hour has passed, and she is still reading this newspaper.
Time squinted slightly, seemingly noticing that Jian Yunong hadn't turned a page of the newspaper.
What could be on it?
Time gave the maid a glance.
Soon, a copy of the same newspaper was in Time's hands.
Today’s entertainment section is very eye-catching. Time does not like to read this section, and under normal circumstances, he would definitely not take a second glance.
But today, Time spent a minute reading this sensational news about the wealthy family. The mysterious wife of Hotel Tycoon Huo Jincheng?
The accompanying picture is of an unfamiliar woman.
She bears no resemblance to Jian Yunong at all.
Time finally understands why Jian Yunong was crying.
Nancheng no longer has her place.
Time can guess who is behind this.
It is highly likely to be Chairman Huo, that strong-willed woman who has always disliked Jian Yunong.
Time throws the newspaper into the trash can.
On the day Mist Shenshen underwent surgery, Jian Yunong stayed at the door the entire time. She kept praying for a good outcome.
Half a month after arriving in the United States, Mist Shenshen woke up and cried with Jian Yunong for a long time, but she could not speak.
She still needs time to wait for the blood clot pressing on her nerves in her brain to dissolve before she can regain her ability to speak.
Jian Yunong devoted herself entirely to taking care of her aunt, and Time did not reach out to her either; it seemed that after returning to the United States, he had forgotten about her existence.
“Nong Nong. Why haven’t you seen Huo Jincheng? What about Little Fatty? Ji Shaoli?”
Mist Shenshen and Jian Yunong communicated through writing.
“They are all back in the country. Auntie, I asked the doctor, and after resting quietly for a while longer, you will be able to be discharged. Just regular check-ups afterward.”
Mist Shenshen frowned, wanting to say a lot, but she couldn't express it, and writing was too troublesome.
"Nong Nong, you need to be careful when going out in the future. The people who caught me were planning to target you as well."
Although Mist Shenshen didn't want to scare Jian Yunong, she still needed to remind her to avoid being careless.
Jian Yunong was taken aback for a moment and smiled, "Got it."
Although Time didn't say anything, Jian Yunong learned from Time's maid why she saw Time taking a shower in the hotel room at the Golf Course that day.
While Jian Yunong was sleeping on the lounge chair, those people had their eyes on her.
It was Time who intervened to prevent a tragedy from happening.
After teaching a lesson to a few thugs, with blood on him, Time directly took a shower and changed clothes in the room.
Who would have thought that Jian Yunong would suddenly wake up and walk in?
According to the maid Emma's description, Time initially did not want to disturb Jian Yunong's life.
What prompted him to get involved in Jian Yunong's life was the matter of Mrs. Huo drafting a divorce agreement and forcing Jian Yunong to sign it.
Emma said, "Miss Jian, please don't think it was our sir who pushed you to separate from your ex-husband."
The term "ex-husband" pierced Jian Yunong's heart.
"One must learn to look forward. Only then will you find life beautiful."
"Thank you."
Now, Jian Yunong didn't reject them as much as she did at first.
They have always treated her with great courtesy.
After all, Time has not done anything to her.
Everyone also felt that a woman who could receive such treatment from the unpredictable Mr. Shi must be extraordinary.
A month later, Mist Shenshen was discharged from the hospital.
Jian Yunong told a little lie, "I still have some things to take care of, Auntie, you can go back first."
Mist Shenshen missed her son and even felt a bit nostalgic for that bastard Ji Shaoli. She truly longed to return home.
"Alright then, I'll wait for you in the country."
At that moment, they had no idea that this farewell would last for several years.
Five years later.
It was another rainy day.
The rainy season in Apple City was quite annoying, everything was damp everywhere.
Jian Yunong got out of the car and hurried into the classroom.
Today she came here to audit a very famous lecture.
She was already one minute late.
The thunderous applause from inside the classroom echoed as Jian Yunong almost didn’t look around and directly pushed the door open, sitting down in the last row.
After taking out her notebook, voice recorder, and damp umbrella from her bag and organizing them into a plastic bag, Jian Yunong finally realized that something seemed off in the classroom.
Why is no one speaking?
She looked up at the podium in confusion.
Jian Yunong was stunned.
The person standing on the podium was not a historian from England, but a young man with black eyes and black hair, handsome with distinct features like a sculpture.
He was also looking at her.
Why was Huo Jincheng here at the university?
Jian Yunong's gaze sharpened; was this a conference about the hotel industry?
"Sorry."
Jian Yunong immediately packed her things. "I must be in the wrong place."
She needed to leave this place as soon as possible.
Even when her umbrella fell to the ground in her panic, Jian Yunong did not look back.
"Where is it? Where is it?"
Jian Yunong muttered to herself, as if that would help her ignore the footsteps behind her.
Finally, around the corner, someone grabbed her from behind.
"Jian Yunong!"
The voice calling her name was filled with a sense of gritted teeth.
"You still want to avoid me for how long?"
Jian Yunong was forcefully embraced by someone.
The grip was strong, enough to make her feel a bit of pain.
"Mr. Huo, please have some self-respect."
"We're already divorced."
"I'm not very familiar with you right now. Let go of me; I'm not avoiding you. I have to attend a very important academic conference."
"You've been avoiding me for five years!"
Huo Jincheng turned her around, and Jian Yunong felt a sharp pain on her lips; Huo Jincheng was biting her.
As she cried out in pain, he pried her lips apart.
He forcefully invaded her breath.
Jian Yunong couldn't struggle.
Waiting for Huo Jincheng to calm down, Jian Yunong directly slapped Huo Jincheng.
"This isn't our country. If I call the police now, Mr. Huo, you will be denied entry and become a guest on the U.S. blacklist."
Huo Jincheng remained indifferent, unaffected by Jian Yunong's threat. "Where have you been these past five years?"
"I don't have time to reminisce with you right now!"
Huo Jincheng pulled her into the nearby restroom, and Jian Yunong was shocked as she realized what Huo Jincheng intended to do.
"Are you crazy?"
"I've already told you! We are divorced!"
Huo Jincheng's movements were rough and aggressive as he squeezed her waist. "I didn't sign anything!"
At that moment, Jian Yunong's phone rang.
Huo Jincheng directly snatched Jian Yunong's phone.
"Don't answer my call!"
Jian Yunong's face was filled with fear, as if she was very scared.
"Who is it? Is it that man who took you away?"
"No!"
Jian Yunong didn't want to engage with him. "Huo Jincheng, you are already with Ye Mei. You two are a perfect match in a beautiful marriage. I'm begging you, please don't come and add trouble to my life anymore, okay? No one knew when I was with you, and now I really don't want the past to disturb my current life."
Huo Jincheng, who originally had no intention of answering the call, suddenly changed his mind and pressed the answer button.
"Nong Nong! Sweetheart! You big fool! Did you forget to bring your attendance card? You're always so forgetful! It really worries me!"
