Perhaps Mnie had gradually adapted to some reactions recently as she did not feel as ufortable as she used to at the beginning. However, when she was waiting in the crowded airport lounge just now, she might have felt a little suffocated due to therge number of people, causing her chest to feel tight.


    After forcefully suppressing the heaviness in her heart, she looked up at Eugene calmly and said, “Mr. Scott, you seem to be a bit too concerned about my personal life.” The first–ss cabin was sparsely popted, and Mnie’s tone. was light, conveying a faint sense of detachment.


    Her eyes were calm like an undisturbed well. If an emotion had to be used to describe her, it would be the impatience and caution hidden in her eyes.


    Eugene looked down at her from his higher vantage point, not ignoring any emotions in her eyes. He sneered, his Adam’s apple bobbing as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he just nced at Mnie deeply, turned around, and returned to his seat.


    Though separated by an aisle, the distance was not big. Mnie could even smell the faint pine scent on Eugene. She fell silent, taking a lemon candy Xander had given her from her bag and popped it in her mouth. It was not until the sweet taste of lemon overwhelmed the pine scent that she rxed her tense nerves.


    The flight from Tianjin to Shanghai was not long, only about two hours. Feeling drowsy due to spring fatigue and autumn weariness, coupled with her physical condition, Mnie put on an eye mask and soon fell asleep.


    In between sleep and wakefulness, Mnie felt strong turbulence, swaying back


    and forth.


    Unfortunately, whenever Mnie tried to open her eyes, she could not. It was ufortable being in between sleep and wakefulness. Her breathing became somewhat rapid and her eyelids felt as if they were glued shut, refusing to lift.


    With the eye mask blocking her vision, it became even more challenging. It was not until a warm palm gently touched her forehead, apanied by aforting breath, that she felt a bit more at ease. Her heavy eyelids finally drooped down and Mnie’s breathing gradually stabilized. Even though the turbulence persisted, she felt less anxious.


    Slowly, she drifted back into a deep sleep.


    When she woke up again, it was the voice of a flight attendant that roused Mnie. Due to a sudden rainstorm in Oskon, thending was dyed. The


    turbulence she had experienced earlier was due to them encountering air


    currents.


    Her neck felt a bit sore from likely sleeping in an awkward position. Mnie had not expected herself to sleep for two hours straight.


    She vaguely remembered someoneing over and touching her forehead…


    Mnie’s expression darkened as she looked up at Eugene, who happened to sense her gaze and turned to meet hers as well. The exchange was icy and distant. After a moment’s hesitation, she calmly retracted her gaze and lifted her hand to press the call button, summoning a flight attendant.


    “Do you know when the ne is expected tond?”


    “It’s still unclear for now. Once the weather clears up, we’ll arrange for anding immediately,” replied the flight attendant.


    Mnie nodded. “Could you please bring me a ss of water?”


    Having just woken up and experienced turbulence, she felt a bloated sensation in her stomach. Fortunately, the nended faster than expected, and just as Mnie was recovering, the aircraft had already touched down.


    She was thest one to disembark and happened to bump into the flight attendant who had just brought her water when she was leaving.


    Mnie hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, “When I was asleep just now, did someonee to my seat<i>?</i><i>” </i>
