Ji Ning disregarded her image as she cried. She was not afraid of disturbing others, embarrassing herself, or being criticized and mocked. She cried so loud as though she wanted to tum all the grievances and hardships she had suffered in her life into tears.
Ji Ning was crying her eyes out, but Shen Hanxing’s smile was frozen on her face. Wait, didn’t she tell Ji Ning not to cry? Why was she crying even louder?
The deafening cries attracted the attention of the other members of the Ji family. Even Xiao Yu and Chu Feng, who had just arrived, ran over, thinking that something had happened.
“Click.”
The lights in the studio were tumed on. The sudden light caused Shen Hanxing to narrow her eyes. She smiled awkwardly as everyone’s gazes were on them. “Why is everyone here?”
In the eyes of the onlookers, this scene looked like Shen Hanxing had bullied her timid little sister and made her cry. Shen Hanxing did not know how to explain this awkward scene.
L.. [came to call you for dinner, Sister-in-law,” Ji Qian stammered. Ji Qian was also shocked.
“We came up because we heard someone crying.” Chu Feng swallowed his saliva and replied in a daze, “I was afraid that something happened to you guys, so I came up with Mr. Ji to take a look.”
Ji Yan had taken the small elevator up the stairs. At this moment, his eyes were looking at Shen Hanxing with a profound gaze. She was unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.
“This expression… did he possibly misunderstand something and wanted to seek an explanation behind his sister’s tears”
Seeing his gloomy expression, Shen Hanxing subconsciously explained, “To be honest, I don’t know what happened either. I’m not sure why she suddenly started crying…”
“CEO Ji,” Xiao Yu took a step forward and stood in front of Shen Hanxing, He bent slightly and explained, “Hanxing is not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding.”
“Get out of my way,” Ji Yan’s eyes were cold as he looked at Xiao Yu gloomily. Ji Yan was clearly the one sitting on the wheelchair, but his gaze naturally carried a sense of condescension.
Xiao Yu’s expression also darkened. He did not budge an inch. “No one can bully her in front of me.”
If he wanted to bully Shen Hanxing, Ji Yan would have to step over his corpse.
Ji Yan’s expression became uglier and uglier. Without a word, he leaned over and grabbed Shen Hanxing’s right wrist. He pulled her towards him. Shen Hanxing was forced to stand in front of him. Just as she was about to say something, Ji Yan slowly took out a snow-white handkerchief from his jacket
pocket. He opened her palm and gently wiped it.
That was when Shen Hanxing realized that she had accidentally stained her hand with paint when she was drawing earlier. She lowered her eyes, feeling a rare sense of embarrassment. “Oh… you wanted to wipe my hands. I can do it myself.”
“What else did you think I would do?” Ji Yan’s eyes raised slightly under his sword-like eyebrows as he revealed a slight smile. He asked in return, “Did you think I was going to interrogate you or hit you?”
‘Well, that was not what she was thinking.
Shen Hanxing thought that if they really fought, Ji Yan would not be able to beat her. She had never been afraid of anyone when it came to fighting.

Xiao Yu witnessed the interaction between the two and saw that Ji Yan did not have any intention of hurting Shen Hanxing. Xiao Yu stood there with a somber expression. Ji Yan’s gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep past him. Ji Yan snorted inwardly. After wiping Shen Hanxing’s hand, he did not let go. He
gently held her fair and tender hand in his.
Her ears were still filled with Ji Ning’s unrestrained crying. Shen Hanxing did not have the time to care about these little details. She was having a headache from the crying, She frowned and asked, “What should we do? We can’t have her continue crying, right?”
“It’s fine. She’ll be fine after crying for a while,” Ji Yan was much calmer now. He said unhurriedly, “Let her continue crying.”
Since Ji Ning’s oldest brother had already spoken, the others naturally would not say anything, Ji Qian thought for a moment and went downstairs to bring up a pile of tissues. Her actions were a little rough as she stuffed them into Ji Ning’s hands. “Wipe your snot first. You can continue crying after that.”
It was fine if she cried a little loud and ugly. However, Ji Qian did not want Ji Ning to accidentally ingest her snot. Ji Ning did not stop crying at all. After hugging the tissues tightly, she turned around and threw herself into Ji Qian’s arms. She cried even louder.
“Hey, hey, hey, the snot! You’ve got all your snot on me!” Ji Qian was like an angry little kitten. Her whole body was stiff as she tried to push Ji Ning away, but she did not dare to move. She could only keep a straight face as she used every cell in her body to vividly demonstrate what it meant to be at a loss.
Ji Qian subconsciously looked at Shen Hanxing for help, but her sister-in-law was watching them with a smile on her face. Shen Hanxing had no intention of reaching out to help her.
Gritting her teeth, Ji Qian simply closed her eyes and said, “Fine, just cry. Just don’t cry into my ears. If you make me deaf from your crying, you’ll be paying for my treatment.”
