After packing, Song Nian sat on the bed, thought for a while, and decided to call Qi Yu. The call was quickly answered, and Qi Yu’s voice was cold and formal, “What’s up?”

Song Nian had wanted to talk about what happened last night, but when she noticed Qi Yu’s cold and distanced attitude, she shut up. She paused for two seconds before saying, “Nothing much. I just wanted to tell you about my flight tomorrow. I don’t know when I’ll see you again after I leave, so I wanted to say goodbye to you.”

Qi Yu’s voice became even colder, “Got it.”

Song Nian pursed her lips, feeling like she was making a fool of herself. She wanted to say something else to make up for it, but then she heard a woman’s voice from the other end of the line, “Yu?”

Song Nian’s hand trembled, and she quickly hung up the phone. She held the phone in her hand for a while before realizing that she had overreacted. Then, she lowered her head in defeat.

She only heard a woman’s voice from Qi Yu’s end. What was there to be nervous about? What was there to be afraid of? Song Nian pounded the bed irritably.

The following day, she took a taxi to the airport with her luggage.

The flight was at eight in the morning, and Song Nian had been yawning nonstop ever since she left the house. She sat in the airport chair and did not have to wait long before the airport announced that her flight had begun boarding.

Zheng Chengyang had gotten business class for her so that she could catch up on her sleep. When Song Nian sat down, her seat was still vacant. She yawned continuously as the passengers began to board the plane one after another, but there were not many people. 

Song Nian found a comfortable position in her seat and laid down. She put on the sleep mask and was ready to catch up on her sleep. As she did not have a good rest last night, she fell asleep in no time.

As Song Nian was half-asleep, she felt someone sitting down next to her, but she paid no attention to it. Song Nian felt someone gently touching her arm when the plane flew steadily and saw a stewardess push the food cart over. The stewardess asked politely, “Excuse me, Madam. Do you need anything to drink?”

Song Nian pushed up her sleep mask and replied with narrowed eyes, “A cup of coffee, please. Thank you.”

After the stewardess poured the coffee, the passenger next to her handed it over. Song Nian intuitively thanked him, and then she heard a familiar voice, “You’re welcome.”

Song Nian stopped drinking her coffee and turned around, her expression frozen.

Qi Yu stared at her for a few seconds before turning around to look toward the seat on his other side. Zheng Chengyang covered his face and refused to look at Qi Yu. Or, to put it differently, ever since Qi Yu realized that the person sitting next to him was Song Nian, Zheng Chengyang didn’t dare to look at Qi Yu anymore.

Song Nian followed Qi Yu’s gaze and looked at Zheng Chengyang as well. Then, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Zheng Chengyang’s turned his back to the two of them and hastily put on his earphones, trying to act as if he didn’t know anything.

Song Nian retracted her gaze and shrugged resignedly, “I’m sorry, Zheng Chengyang booked the flight for me. Other than that, I don’t know anything else.”

Qi Yu responded indifferently, “Hmm.”

Such a cold attitude also dispelled Song Nian’s desire to speak. Now that she couldn’t possibly fall asleep, she simply took out her tablet and began watching TV series.

She watched the series solely to pass the time and divert her attention. Unfortunately, the absurd plotline was unable to keep her focus. As she watched, her attention shifted to Qi Yu.

There was a laptop in front of Qi Yu. The screen was densely filled with words. Wearing a pair of anti-fatigue glasses, he was carefully reading the terms on the document. Song Nian had never seen what Qi Yu looked like at work. 

Song Nian couldn’t help but glance at him from the corner of her eyes a few times. She had to admit that this man looked extremely dashing. It could be said that the Qi family members were all good-looking, and Qi Yu was the most outstanding one.

This was probably why she liked him the moment she saw him. After all, there wasn’t a woman who didn’t like dashing good looks. 

Song Nian had always been self-aware. She was conscious that she had only taken a liking to Qi Yu’s appearance in the beginning. As for whether that had changed, later on, she wasn’t quite sure herself. 

Before the breakdown of their marriage, her heart would be filled with joy whenever she saw him. Even the thought of his face would make her smile involuntarily. 

She had never experienced this feeling from another man before.

At the thought of this, Song Nian quickly withdrew her gaze and spat at herself. They were already divorced. What was the point of thinking about these now? 

No matter how good-looking this man was, what was the point? He didn’t love you. That should be a good enough reason to give up.

Song Nian’s lips curled up mockingly. She turned off the playing tablet and put her sleep mask back on in a lying position. Even if she couldn’t fall asleep, she didn’t want to see the people around her again.

Out of sight, out of mind..
