Shen Hanxing’s attitude made Ji Yan feel more assured. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, “Okay.”
“You should also have more confidence in yourself,” Shen Hanxing smiled and said, “I think no one is more outstanding than you in this world.”
“You are more beautiful than anything in this world,” Ji Yan hugged Shen Hanxing. He could not help but sigh softly, “I’m just an ordinary person. Of course, I would worry about gains and losses. I’m afraid of losing your love.” This man dominated the business world and was regarded as the dream lover by all the upper-class socialites. At this moment, he was so insecure that it broke Shen Hanxing’s heart.
Seeing Ji Yan like this, Shen Hanxing’s heart softened. She wanted to say something but realized it was inappropriate to say anything. She straightened her body and took the initiative to offer her lips. Ji Yan’s body stiffened. He subconsciously hugged Shen Hanxing and deepened the kiss.
“Sister-in-law, today I…” Ji Mo, who had just finished his day at school, walked downstairs briskly. When he looked up, he saw the scene in front of him. He was instantly stunned. His face was flushed red, and even his earlobes were dyed pink. His voice stuttered, “I… I haven’t finished my homework. I’ll go upstairs first!”
Shen Hanxing’s face flushed. She subconsciously stood up, “Ji Mo…”
“Ignore him,” Ji Yan looked displeased. He grabbed Shen Hanxing and kissed her again, “let him go back to his room first.”
Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling’s engagement party was on this Saturday. Shen Hanxing’s school didn’t have classes on Saturday, so she didn’t need to ask for leave from school. When the time came, she would change her clothes and go with Ji Yan. For the people of the upper class, the engagement party was also a place for socializing. When Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan arrived, the people from the Lu family who stood at the door were warmly welcoming the guests.
Lu Shaoyang was wearing a white suit. His hair was neatly tidied up, revealing a clean and bright, handsome face. However, his face did not look too good, and his smile showed reluctance. On the other hand, his fiancée, Su Ling, standing next to him, had her long hair tied up, revealing a beautiful face. The sweet smile on her face had never disappeared. Rumors said she was deeply affectionately toward Lu Shaoyang and was extremely persistent. Now, she finally got what she wanted.
When he saw the Ji family’s car approaching, Lu Shaoyang’s eyes lit up. His eyes filled with surprise, and even the smile on his face became more genuine. “Hanxing… you came.” His eyes were sparkling. He stared at Shen Hanxing greedily. His Hanxing came! He knew that she would not hate him. She would understand his difficulties!
Lu Shaoyang had always refused to call Shen Hanxing Mrs. Ji as if this would erase the fact that Shen Hanxing was already married. Su Ling, who had a crush on Lu Shaoyang, naturally knew Shen Hanxing. When she saw the look of joy on Lu Shaoyang’s face when he saw Shen Hanxing, Su Ling almost gritted her teeth. She quickly stepped forward and frowned. “Brother Shaoyang, look at you. Why are you in such a hurry?” She pouted and reached out to grab Lu Shaoyang’s arm. She leaned on Lu Shaoyang’s body. It was as if she was declaring her sovereignty, but it also seemed like she was hinting at something. She looked at Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan as she said with a smile, “Mr. Ji, Mrs. Ji, it’s great that you guys can come. Brother Shaoyang had always remembered the friendship between him and Mrs. Ji. Because of this, he feared that Mrs. Ji would not come to our engagement party.” Su Ling said in an intimate tone, “Now that Mrs. Ji is here, Brother Shaoyang and I are very happy.” She was declaring she was Lu Shaoyang’s fiancée.
Lu Shaoyang’s face darkened. He distanced himself from Su Ling and said with an uncomfortable expression, “Su Ling, don’t do this.” A flash of guilt flashed in his eyes.
Shen Hanxing sneered. One of them was declaring her identity, thinking that her fiancé was some peerless treasure that everyone wanted. The other one tried to distance himself, but he couldn’t make up his mind. What a jerk!
“Mr. Lu and I are acquaintances. Of course, Ji Yan and I will come when we know he is engaged,” Shen Hanxing smiled and held Ji Yan’s hand. She said faintly, “you are in the limelight of this engagement. You must be busy. There’s no need to waste your effort to entertain us. We’ll find our seats.”
Lu Shaoyang saw Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan’s intimacy and was disappointed.
