"Huh?" Le Yao was taken aback.

“You’ve been staring at me for about two and a half minutes.” Nangong Jue raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Beautiful." Le Yao exclaimed in realization, then nodded earnestly without any embarrassment. "No wonder she was taught aristocratic etiquette, she's truly a feast for the eyes, oh dear." Just as she finished speaking, she received a tap on the head and involuntarily moved to the side. "Nangong Jue, what are you doing?"

"Shh!" Nangong Jue made a shushing gesture. "Loud noises are prohibited on airplanes."

"you……"

"Heh, is that how you use 'beauty is food for the eyes'?" Nangong Jue's eyes sparkled. "No wonder you always fail your exams."

“Failing was before. Now I not only passed, but my ranking has also improved by a hundred places.” Le Yao rolled her eyes and then turned her body to the other side. “I’m not talking to you anymore, don’t bother me.”

Nangong Jue looked at Le Yao's profile, shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything more. Instead, he took out a few contracts and started looking at them.

Le Yao turned her head to look out the window. The plane had entered the stratosphere. Outside was a clear blue sky and white clouds... As she looked, she suddenly felt a sense of disorientation, as if... she had returned to her own world.

The family of four lived in a not-so-spacious two-bedroom apartment. When Dad came home from get off work, he would bring back two kilograms of draft beer. Mom would cook a big pot of stewed chicken bones with potatoes. Then Dad and Mom would each drink a bowl of draft beer, while she and her younger brother would put on a chopstick battle over a piece of chicken bone...

At that time, their family may have been materially poor, but they were very harmonious emotionally.

Every time she and her younger brother fought over food, her father would give her his share, while her mother would give her her brother's share...

“Mom…” Le Yao reached out to pull her mother, but her hand was icy cold. She woke up with a start and realized that she was still sitting in the first class of the plane, her hand on the glass of the window.

She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe her face; in her dazed state, she seemed to have already shed tears.

Although Nangong Jue was looking at documents, he kept an eye on Le Yao out of the corner of his eye. When he heard her call out "Mom" and saw her wiping away tears, his heart inexplicably clenched. At this moment, he really wanted to hold the woman in his arms, but he didn't dare!

Fortunately, at that moment, the flight attendant's sweet voice rang out, announcing that the plane had begun its descent and that Beijing Capital International Airport was just ahead, reminding everyone to stow their tray tables and adjust their seatbacks...

Le Yao took a breath, wiped her face, and then sat up straight, but she still felt a little sad.

Nangong Jue had already handed the documents to Fang Ming over there in the corridor, and then asked the flight attendant for a glass of warm water to give to Le Yao.

"Thank you." After drinking half a glass of water, Le Yao felt much better. She wasn't ungrateful; it was only right to thank someone who cared about her.

Nangong Jue patted her head.

Le Yao frowned. What was this guy doing? Were they that intimate?

However, before he could finish complaining, the plane landed.

The plane landed quickly.

Since Le Yao was traveling with Nangong Jue this time, she only brought Tao Qing along. It would be more convenient to have a woman with her, so the two of them went to the restroom as soon as they got off the plane.

She was going to meet the Nangong family soon, so she needed to at least fix her makeup.
