Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: When Did It Happen?
âThese days, Jian Jian seems to have forgotten her woes, hasnât she? Has she also forgotten the promise she made to me?â
âAh?â
âWe agreed on compensation, and it should be settled today!â
How come uncle still remembers this?
Just as Jian Dan was stunned, Chu Liyuanâs lips had already pressed against hers, âMmmâŠâ
The next day on the airplaneâŠ
âSister, you look really tired, did you not sleep well last night?â Xueâer looked at Jian Dan with concern as she appeared weary.
âWell! Youâre still young, youâll understand when youâre older!â Instead of responding, Xia Mengjiao answered first.
âXia Mengjiao!â Jian Dan turned to Xia Mengjiao.
âI know, I wonât say it then!â
âSister, are you really okay?â Xueâer still seemed worried.
âOf course, Iâm fine, donât worry!â
âThatâs good to hear, sister. If anything happens, you have to tell me!â
These words warmed Jian Danâs heart.
But they sounded unpleasant to Chu Liyuanâs ears; how had his lass become someone elseâs responsibility to care for?
Thinking this, he pulled Jian Dan into his arms, âJian Jian, I will take care of you.â
Upon hearing Chu Liyuanâs words, Xueâer was taken aback at first, then said somewhat embarrassedly, âI understand.â
âUncle, why are you acting like that?â Jian Dan spoke in a volume only audible between the two.
âWhat did I do wrong? You are my responsibility after all.â
âBut this will make Xueâer feel awkward, wonât it?â
âDoes that matter to me?â
âUncle, youâre really being unapproachable!â
âAll my affection is given to you, I canât afford to share it with others.â
Although this might seem selfish, Jian Dan really couldnât control herself; she was truly delighted by his words.
âLetâs rest for a bit!â Chu Liyuan adjusted their positions to make Jian Jian more comfortable.
Jian Dan closed her eyes and unwittingly fell asleepâŠ
She was awakened by uncleâs voice, only to find the plane experiencing severe turbulence, which instantly made her anxious; âUncle, whatâs happening?â
âIâm not sure yet, Iâll check the cockpit!â
âIâll go with you, uncle!â Jian Dan took Chu Liyuanâs hand as they both stood up.
Chu Liyuan turned to meet Jian Danâs gaze, then with a slight smile, said, âOkay!â Holding her hand tightly, they both headed to the cockpit.
Upon entering, they found the pilot unconscious for some unknown reason; âUncle~â Jian Dan looked towards Chu Liyuan.
âItâs okay!â Chu Liyuan moved the pilot from the driverâs seat to the floor behind, taking over the controls himself.
Jian Dan had great confidence in Chu Liyuanâs flying skills, but seeing him looking worried while sitting at the pilotâs seat, she knew that something was not as simple as it seemed. âUncle, is there another problem?â
âThe aircraft engine is damaged. I just tried starting the backup engine, but it wonât start either; it seems to be malfunctioning too.â
âHow is that possible?â Itâs extremely rare for both the main and backup engines to fail simultaneously.
âWe have no choice but to abandon the aircraft now.â
When even uncle said this, it meant that this was their only option.
Jian Dan didnât panic too much, as they had encountered similar situations before; itâs just that now the situation was special as there were other people in the cabin.
