Chapter 485: Chapter 485 “Flower Heart

Translator: 549690339

“Drive faster, and don’t stop at the red lights; I’ll take full responsibility!”

In the car, An Nuonuo let out a series of frantic cries.

For the first time in her life, she lost her composure, her heart shattering in anguish.

Her right hand tightly clutched the phone, blue veins protruding on its surface. The phone screen remained unlocked, displaying the news that the plane Jiang Xu was on had crashed shortly after takeoff.

All she wanted now was to get to the airport as quickly as possible.

The car swerved wildly on the road, running through multiple red lights. Finally, after over thirty minutes, they arrived at the airport.

The car hadn’t even come to a complete stop before An Nuonuo bolted out.

She ran into the airport at top speed.

But then she was at a loss.

The surrounding clamor had nothing to do with her, as she looked around, not knowing what to do next.

Her world had collapsed.

The airport lights shone on her pale face, eyes swollen red, while tears fell silently like beads off a string.

Her shoulders trembled slightly as she tried to suppress the pain and despair coursing within her.

An Nuonuo slowly crouched down, embracing her knees tightly as if to find a sliver of comfort in that position.

Strands of her long hair fell over her shoulders in disarray, too distraught to care.

Traces of fresh tears lingered at the comers of her eyes, each drop representing the unspeakable agony within her heart.

Her lips were pressed together tightly as she struggled to control her emotions. Yet her breathing betrayed her suffering, each inhalation pulling at the fragments of her shattered heart.

She leaned forward slightly as if searching for something to lean on.

But everything around her seemed cold and indifferent.

Her clothes clung to her body, appearing thin and inadequate to shield her from the chill in her heart.

She sat there motionless, as if time had stopped in that moment.

The bodyguards who had followed were likewise heartbroken at the sight of her, yet at a loss for words.

They had witnessed the love between An Nuonuo and Jiang Xu.

Indeed, it was a match made in heaven.

Now, receiving such sudden news, they too were overwhelmed with grief. “Nuonuo?”

Just as An Nuonuo was engulfed by an inexhaustible darkness and hopelessness,

that familiar voice sounded in her ear.

An Nuonuo blankly raised her head.

Upon seeing Jiang Xu, she thought she was hallucinating.

She rubbed her eyes hard.

No mistake!

It was indeed Jiang Xu!

The bodyguards around her all wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

“Brother Xu, you’re still alive?”

An Nuonuo took trembling steps forward, reaching out her hand toward Jiang Xu’s face.                              ⁶

She paused just a centimeter away, afraid that it was all an illusion that would shatter upon contact.

But the next second, Jiang Xu pulled her into his embrace.

The real feel, warmth, and the scent that she could never forget told An Nuonuo without question.

It was real.

Jiang Xu was still alive.

“Wuwuwu…”

An Nuonuo cried tears of joy, which broke Jiang Xu’s heart.

He gently patted her back, softly saying, “Don’t cry, did you think I was on that flight and didn’t make it?”

“Yes!” An Nuonuo nodded vigorously, tearfully asking, “What happened?” While wiping the tears from her face, Jiang Xu replied, “I was about to board when I realized I had left a very important document at your house.

So I didn’t get on, and it turns out that saved my life.”

As he said this, Jiang Xu too wore the expression of someone who had survived a catastrophe.

“Don’t go back,” An Nuonuo said with a choked voice. “Stay with me here for three months, will you?”

Her eyes were desolate, and she looked as though she was about to shatter into pieces.

“I can’t bear this a second time; I’d collapse.

When my term here is up, we won’t take a plane-let’s take a cruise ship home okay?”

“Okay,” Jiang Xu nodded without hesitation, readily agreeing.

After experiencing this incident, he too had developed some shadows in his heart.

He was also afraid to take a plane again anytime soon.

Who could have imagined that even an established airline could have such a malfunction.

If it were like taking a high-speed train or a cruise ship, even if there was a traffic accident, there would still be a high chance of survival.

But at several kilometers high in the sky, once something goes wrong, all you could do is close your eyes.

“Thank you, Brother Xu,” An Nuonuo finally flashed a sweet smile again.

The two of them held hands and went home.

Jiang Xu took leave from school.

As for work, remote work was okay.

If any issues came up, they’d deal with them then.

As soon as they got home, An Nuonuo locked the doors and windows and drew the curtains.

Then…

Suddenly, Jiang Xu felt like singing.

Zhou Huajian had a song that he had recently grown fond of.

It’s called “Flower Heart.”

“The heart of the flower hides within the pistil, never letting people easily

touch… the tide rises, then falls… the tide rises, then falls.”

That’s when Jiang Xiaoyan called.

An Nuonuo immediately covered her mouth with her hand to keep herself quiet.

Jiang Xu pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.

“What’s up?”

‘Well, well, well, if you can still answer the phone, that means you’re still alive,” Jiang Xiaoyan sighed with relief on the other end.

She had just seen the news about the plane crash.

And considering Jiang Xu was likely to be returning around this time, she nearly had a meltdown.

Jiang Xu laughed and said, “I’m fine. Lucky. I’m not going back for now, I’m staying here with Nuonuo, and we’ll return together later.”

There was silence on the other end from Jiang Xiaoyan.

After a while, her voice sounded melancholic as she said, “Hmm, then both of

you be careful. I have some other things to handle.”

A series of beeping sounds came from the phone.

An Nuonuo stopped covering her mouth and said, “Sister Xiao Yan… seems…

um… a little upset… hmpf~”

Jiang Xu: “Don’t get distracted. Feel it with your heart, experience it with your heart.”

An Nuonuo:”…”

Jiang Xu had not planned to tell the elders about the plane accident.

After all, everything was fine, so there was no need to worry them needlessly. The next day.

They both got up on time.

Today, Jiang Xu planned to accompany An Nuonuo to her company.

He would help her check things out and take the opportunity to see if there were any hidden dangers in the company.

Today, An Nuonuo was especially radiant and beautiful.

Her skin was snow-white, her cheeks rosy.

Her face was still so pure and lovely.

But her figure was becoming more voluptuous by the day.

The existence of two utterly different traits in one body created an unparalleled charming effect.

Even Daji would have to call her “a beauty.”

Now, Jiang Xu had her dress as loosely as possible when going out to conceal her good figure.

Otherwise, just walking on the main road like that, she could easily cause a traffic accident.

After preparing, they left the house.

However.

When the two arrived at the company’s entrance, they were both stunned.
