Xu Ning did her job properly. Not long after she hung up the phone, she sent the reservation message to Su Lu.

Su Lu looked at the message on her phone and took a moment to react.

“Oh, I don’t have Bo Jingshen’s contact information. This is really…”

Su Lu raised her hand and pressed her forehead, then she sent a message to Gu Xin, asking for Jiang Li’s contact information. Afterward, she directly forwarded the reserved message to Jiang Li.

For the next two days, Su Lu stayed in the hospital and it was relatively peaceful.

Even her luggage was packed by Xu Ning at her home before she left.

Cheng Youran was a little helpless. “I don’t know if you came to the hospital or went on vacation.”

“Of course, I came to the hospital.” Su Lu smiled. “But I’m going on vacation soon. I’ll bring you a gift back. Don’t miss me too much.”

“Get lost.” Cheng Youran waved her hand. She thought for a moment and added, “By the way, there’s an expert in scar removal at the Medical Cosmetics Department of Hai City First Affiliated Hospital. If you have time, you can make an appointment to see him.”

The wound at the corner of Su Lu’s eye was no longer covered with a bandage. Although it wasn’t a big scar, it still caught the eye a bit.

Cheng Youran didn’t have the time to send her off and went to work.

Su Lu dragged her luggage to the entrance of the hospital building. Before she could turn toward the parking lot, a dark luxury car suddenly stopped in front of her.

The backseat window rolled down, and the handsome face of the man came into view.

“Why are you here?” Su Lu was somewhat surprised.

“To Hai City. Did you forget?” Bo Jingshen asked in response, a faint smile appearing on his lips. “I was still waiting for you to take care of me.”

Su Lu was speechless.

The driver got out of the car and opened the back door, saying, “Miss Su, please get in the car.”

Then he reached out to take her luggage and put it in the trunk.

Su Lu furrowed her brows lightly, still holding onto her car keys. “My car is still parked at the hospital…”

“It won’t get lost. Get in the car,” Bo Jingshen said calmly. He then raised an eyebrow at her. “Or do you want me to come down and carry you up?”

Su Lu glanced at him with a furrowed brow, but she knew him too well. He would do that!

Su Lu bit her lip and got into the car.

The car door closed. In the backseat, Su Lu could smell the refreshing scent of cedar on his body again.

She suddenly became alert and realized. “Your flight is tomorrow!”

The flight and hotel that she had asked Xu Ning to book for him were tomorrow. She had deliberately staggered the time.

Bo Jingshen chuckled softly. “Yes. I asked you to take care of me, and you were quick to shift the blame. You booked it for tomorrow?”

“Then why did you…”

Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. “Am I short on money for a flight ticket? Wouldn’t I make new arrangements?”

Su Lu had a headache. She raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose. “What exactly are you…” Before she could finish her sentence, she realized that the route was not leading to the airport. “This isn’t the way to the airport, is it?”

Was he planning to have the driver take them to Hai City by car?

The distance between Feng City and Hai City was not hardships, but there wasn’t enough time. Su Lu took the opportunity to learn about it these past few days, so she learned that the technology exhibition that Bo Jingshen was going to attend would open tomorrow.

“Can I still sell you?” Bo Jingshen said calmly.

The driver answered her, “Miss Su, we are heading to the Xijiao Airport.”

“The Xijiao Airport…”

Feng City’s domestic flights were primarily served by Dongqiao Airport.

International flights usually departed from Linyu Airport.

The Xijiao Airport was relatively small, and there were no passenger flights. Generally, only private planes stopped and left the port.

The driver drove the car straight into the parking apron.

A beautiful Gulfstream G650 was parked there.

The aircraft had sleek lines, exuding an air of affluence.

“Hello, Mr. Bo. The crew is ready.”

Although Su Lu had heard about Bosheng’s market value and Bo Jingshen’s wealth, it was only when she followed Bo Jingshen up the gangway that she truly felt his financial prowess.

The flight attendant was waiting by the cabin door and courteously led them to their seats. The plane took off promptly.

The flight attendant provided excellent service, and the meals were exquisitely delicious. The genuine leather seats were spacious and soft, providing great comfort. Su Lu felt drowsy.

She gradually woke up when the plane encountered turbulence.

Despite having two seats on each side of the aisle, the both of them had ended up sitting on opposite sides, with the aisle separating them.

Su Lu glanced over and noticed Bo Jingshen’s slightly pale complexion. He leaned tightly against the seatback with his eyes closed. His lips were tightly pursed and pale, sweat beading on his forehead. Both of his hands were gripping the armrests, and his knuckles had turned white from the force.

Su Lu asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Bo Jingshen seemed to have lost consciousness and did not respond.

“Bo Jingshen!” Su Lu became anxious.

She seldom saw him looking so pale. In her memory, he was a vigorous and energetic young man, rarely falling ill.

Su Lu unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned closer to him.

The flight attendant interjected, “Miss Su, for safety reasons during turbulence, please return to your seat and fasten your seatbelt.”

Su Lu ignored the flight attendant. “Bo Jingshen, what was wrong? Where did you feel unwell?”

She gently patted the back of his hand, but in the next second, he grabbed her hand tightly! Then, Su Lu was pulled into an embrace with the cold fragrance of cedar by a strong force.

He hugged her so tightly that her bones hurt.

Su Lu couldn’t help but struggle. The man’s low, hoarse voice rang in her ear, “Don’t go…”

Su Lu was startled. He seemed to be… afraid.

Su Lu stopped struggling and raised her hand to gently pat his back.

After the turbulence had passed, the flight attendant immediately came over.

“Mr. Bo, are you alright?”

Bo Jingshen seemed to gradually recover and said, “I’m fine.”

“Do you need any medication?”

He shook his head lightly.

The embrace that had caused Su Lu’s bones to ache had loosened. She sensed that there was a reason behind Bo Jingshen’s fear, but she didn’t ask anything and quietly sat back in her seat.

Seeing that neither Bo Jingshen nor Su Lu needed anything, the flight attendant went back to the front to be on standby.

“Thank you.” Bo Jingshen’s calm voice came from beside her. “I just felt a little airsick.”

“Oh…” Su Lu responded, “Then take a rest for a while.”

“Yes.” Bo Jingshen reclined his seat and closed his eyes. It seemed like he fell asleep after a while.

Su Lu knew that he hadn’t been airsick just now. He was scared.

She got up and went to the restroom. When she came out, she saw the flight attendant outside.

The flight attendant politely smiled at her. “Miss Su.”

Su Lu hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to Bo Jingshen just now?”

“For some reason, Mr. Bo has a severe fear of flying, so if there’s turbulence during the flight, he feels very uncomfortable.”

Su Lu was taken aback. “Some reason?”

The flight attendant explained, “Mr. Bo travels frequently abroad for business and once experienced a plane crash caused by mechanical failure. Although he wasn’t seriously injured, it caused him to develop a severe fear of flying. That’s why he purchased this plane.”

The words “plane crash” hit her like a heavy blow.

Su Lu had always assumed that after their separation, someone as outstanding as Bo Jingshen must be leading a good and happy life somewhere.

She had never imagined that he had come so close to death.

This made Su Lu feel a lingering sense of fear.
