666 Hold on
Shen Hanxing’s smile widened when she sensed Ji Yan’s hidden emotions. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips.”I’ll go change my clothes in a while.” Of course, there were resting rooms prepared for the guests on the cruise ship, and there were clothes prepared for them to change into at any time. Shen Hanxing could not wear this wet dress until the wedding banquet was over.
Ji Yan lowered his head and looked at Shen Hanxing’s feet. She had removed her high heels when she was in the middle of saving someone. She was standing on the deck barefooted. The sun was scorching hot on the deck, and Shen Hanxing’s delicate feet felt a little hot. Her fair and slender toes were curled up slightly. Ji Yan’s lips curled up and he said to Shen Hanxing, “Madam, did you scald your feet?”
Shen Hanxing could not help but curl her toes again when she heard that. She said in a low voice, “A little.”
“Madam, be careful. Don’t burn yourself.” Ji Yan’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. He reached out his hands and carried Shen Hanxing in his arms, not caring about the people around him.”I’ll send Madam back to her room to change her clothes.” His broad shoulders covered Shen Hanxing completely. Ji Yan’s brows were full of satisfaction, and a little pride seemed to flash across his eyes. Not only could he hug Shen Hanxing’s soft and petite body, but he could also declare his ownership of her to the public and avoid those annoying and obscure gazes. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Shen Hanxing did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that Ji Yan seemed to be in a good mood, her heart softened at the thought of how he disregarded his safety. Forget it. As long as she did not feel embarrassed, others would be the ones who would feel embarrassed. What did other people’s opinions mean? in this world, what could be more important than Ji Yan’s happiness? Shen Hanxing simply pressed her face against Ji Yan’s chest, listening to his steady heartbeat and enjoying his care.
Seeing that Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing were going back to the guest room to change as if no one else was around, the rest of the people seemed to have woken up from a dream.
“Hold on!” Mrs. Lu’s face flashed with resentment as she subconsciously called out.
“What’s the matter, Mrs. Lu?” Ji Yan’s eyes narrowed and he looked at Mrs. Lu coldly with displeasure in his black eyes.
Shen Hanxing noticed Ji Yan’s impatience at once. She pinched his arm gently and peeked out from his arms. She looked at Mrs. Lu and said gently, “Mrs. Lu, my clothes are a mess right now. It’s not a good time to chat. If you have something to say, let’s talk after I’ve changed.”
However, Mrs. Lu did not give up and insisted. “I hope Mrs. Ji can forgive me for my anxiousness as a mother to my child. I can’t wait.” She tried her best to ignore Ji Yan, who was exuding a cold aura and pointed at Lu Nuannuan, who was standing at the side. “Nuannuan is so badly injured. As her mother, my heart aches for her. Moreover, our Nuannuan is the most sensible. She wouldn’t jump into the sea of her own accord, would she?” She glared at Shen Hanxing and said coldly. “I heard that Mrs. Ji was present at the time and even had a conflict with Nuannuan. So, shouldn’t Mrs. Ji give me an explanation?”
So she was here to cause trouble. Shen Hanxing sneered and patted Ji Yan’s hand. “Mr. Ji, let me down.”
Ji Yan was a little reluctant, but when he saw the determination in Shen Hanxing’s eyes, he let go of her hand after a brief pause. He scanned his surroundings with his sharp eyes and noticed the high heels in the corner. He strode over and bent down to pick them up before walking to Shen Hanxing. “Madam, put on your shoes so that you don’t burn your feet.”
Ji Yan’s voice was low as he approached Shen Hanxing with the shoes. Shen Hanxing was about to reach out to take them, but Ji Yan dodged them with a shake of his arm. Ji Yan, who exuded an air of nobility, slowly bent down and knelt on one knee in front of Shen Hanxing in front of so many people with a calm expression. He then helped her put on her shoes.
Someone could not help but gasp in shock. The socialites and young ladies looked at this scene enviously. Who would not want such an outstanding, affectionate, handsome, and perfect husband like Ji Yan? Who would not want a gentle and appropriate man who would give up his life for you, bow down, and put on shoes for you?
Shen Hanxing looked a little surprised as well, but there was more gentleness in her eyes. She knew that Ji Yan was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her as she was wearing a short skirt. After Shen Hanxing put on her shoes, Ji Yan slowly stood up. His expression was still calm as if he did not feel that he had done anything wrong. Of course, he did not feel embarrassed either.
