" A Jin, are you satisfied with today's arrangements?"
Ye Jin was admiring the sunset outside the window. Although she didn't understand why Su Chengjing would ask that question, she still nodded, "It's fine, thank you for the arrangements."
[Given our strained relationship, the fact that we can travel together and that they've arranged everything so perfectly is already quite an achievement; I can't expect too much.]
Just as Su Chengjing was about to reply that there was no need to thank him, he was once again stung by Ye Jin's inner thoughts.
However, upon hearing the words "plastic couple," he thought for a moment and decided not to dwell on it anymore. If he didn't talk it out, Ye Jin would never be able to resolve her inner conflict with him.
Thinking this, he spoke again, " A Jin, I think you might have some misunderstanding about me. There's something I might need to explain."
Ye Jin, who was admiring the scenery, was startled.
[Oh! Could it be that he thinks I was rude to him? No, I think I was quite polite!]
[Ha, it's probably because compared to the true love outside, I, the unlikable original wife, seem somewhat hideous. Oh well, let him dislike me if he wants, I can always get a divorce, anyway, I'm rich now...]
Before Ye Jin could finish her mental rant, Su Chengjing's words interrupted her.
"You've been deliberately avoiding me for a while, so I did some investigation and found that you might have some misunderstandings about me. I don't know where you heard that I have other women outside, but I can assure you that I've only ever had you."
Even if you don't believe in my feelings for you, you should at least believe in my character. I swear on my integrity that I will never betray you in my life.
What? Su Chengjing doesn't have true love?!
But she knew Su Chengjing's character better than anyone else, and knew he wouldn't lie, and besides, he had no reason to lie to her.
Since other novel plots can be changed, why does she insist on using the original plot to judge Su Chengjing?
Ye Jin stood there stunned for a moment, then finally reacted with an awkward smile, "I was wrong before, taking my imagination as reality. I won't do that again. I promise you, whatever happens..."
After they talked things out, their interactions became more natural than before, but it was still far from what Su Chengjing had expected.
If Ye Jin's previous politeness towards him was tinged with disdain, now it's just politeness.
Su Chengjing could only comfort himself by thinking that he would eventually win Ye Jin's heart. So he worked even harder to accompany Ye Jin on all sorts of adventures on the island, including going out to sea, fishing, surfing, sailing, and diving.
Holidays always pass quickly, and three days later the two boarded their return flight.
Although Ye Jin felt a little regretful that her vacation was over and she had to go back to work, she didn't think too much about it.
Life is so much better now than in my previous life. At least I have such long vacations, and I don't have to ask anyone for leave. In my previous life, I was always anxious about asking for sick leave from the hospital.
Sitting on the other chair, Su Chengjing was lost in thought.
Although he eventually explained to Ye Jin that he didn't have any true love, Ye Jin's attitude towards him didn't change much; she remained indifferent and polite.
Aside from eating, sleeping, and playing, Ye Jin thinks most about her career; as for herself, she probably doesn't even have a small place in her heart.
Su Chengjing sighed. He used to be very satisfied with his married life. His wife was sensible and obedient and never bothered him while he worked, so he could concentrate on his career. But now he felt very lonely.
The two each occupied a comfortable spot on the private jet, undisturbed by each other.
Just when the two thought the return trip would be as smooth as the journey there, the plane suddenly started to shake violently halfway through the flight.
Ye Jin was fast asleep when she was quickly shaken awake.
She initially thought it was due to some kind of air current, but she quickly realized something was wrong—what kind of air current could cause such prolonged shaking?
Soon, the flight attendant rushed forward and shouted to them, "The plane has malfunctioned. The captain and his team are trying to find a place to land. Please make sure to fasten your seatbelts."
Ye Jin's expression immediately changed, and the plot of the original novel resurfaced in her mind.
[Ugh! I remember in the original novel, Su Chengjing was written to die in a plane crash at the end. Even though the plot has been changed a lot, does that mean the ending still can't be changed?]
[It must have been Xie Haoyu, that desperate bastard, who sabotaged the plane to try and kill Su Chengjing in return. Ugh, he's utterly lawless!]
Su Chengjing was also pale at this moment. Even without Ye Jin's thoughts, he thought of Xie Haoyu.
He knew that Xie Haoyu would definitely be using some underhanded tactics to harm him and Ye Jin during this time, but at the same time, he was very confident in his control. Security was in place, and the island was very close to Hua Country. It would only take less than half an hour to fly into the country. He thought that Xie Haoyu would not be bold enough to cause trouble in this place.
In his past life, he was also taken advantage of when he chartered a private jet while on a business trip in Europe.
But now it seems Xie Haoyu has completely gone mad; if he's in trouble, he wants to drag them down with him!
He himself was not afraid of death. Even if something happened to him now, his mother could continue their strategy to kill Xie Haoyu.
But he deeply regretted that his carelessness had caused Ye Jin to die on that plane with him, something he could never forgive himself for, even in his next life.
But now they are high in the sky, and no matter how much strategy and wisdom he has, he is completely helpless against such a simple and brutal scheme.
