763 Won’t Disappoint Madam
Money and other worldly possessions were nothing to Ji Yan. As long as he could keep Shen Hanxing by his side and look after her forever, he would even give her his life, let alone money.
Ji Yan said it so easily, but Shen Hanxing’s heart was burning. The palm he was holding was so hot that it started to sweat. She looked into his dark eyes and could see her reflection and his seriousness. It did not sound like a casual answer, but more like a promise. He did not ask for anything, but he was willing to give her everything. Although he looked cold and unapproachable on the outside, he always had a scale in his heart to prioritize people and things. Just like his brothers and sisters in the Ji family, he never criticized them or coveted what they had in their hands. Similarly, he would not give them more warmth. He was like a machine that operated according to standards. He was fair to the point of being heartless, but his feelings were also hot and straightforward, so hot that they could burn everything. Since he liked her, he would surrender to her unconditionally and be willing to give her everything. He would treat her as the most important treasure in the world and everything would have to retreat in front of her.
This kind of burning love might be a burden to some people, but to Shen Hanxing, it was like a ball of fire. It burned her heart, which was always cold, and brought warmth to her. She dared to reach out and embrace more love.
Shen Hanxing’s eyes lit up with a smile, and the corners of her lips curled up like an arrogant queen. She lifted her smooth chin and said arrogantly, “Then I’ll wait to see your performance, Mr. Ji.”
Ji Yan did not get angry at Shen Hanxing’s arrogant look. Instead, he lowered his noble head and kissed the back of her hand. “Alright, I definitely won’t let you down, my wife.”
Ji Yan’s words made everyone’s eyes pop out. This was different from what they had imagined. Shen Hanxing was born in the slums, and being able to marry into the Ji family was already a sign that she had become a phoenix. In other people’s eyes, she should be carefully coaxing the Ji siblings and trying her best to please Ji Yan in order to secure her position as Mrs. Ji. It wasn’t that they didn’t see public opinion on the internet, but who would believe those things? It was just a means to establish a character. Those who believed in the gossip news were the real fools.
Everyone had such a firm thought in their hearts, but when they saw the scene in front of them, they had to admit that they were the real fools! At that very moment, Shen Hanxing was like a high and mighty queen surrounded by the Ji siblings. Ji Yan, who was feared by the outside world and people would not even dare to look at him directly, was gentle and submissive in front of her. This was completely different from the rumors! Many people looked dazed as if their worldviews had been shattered.
Ji Yan had never cared about what others thought. He only did what he wanted to do. After a short moment of intimacy with Shen Hanxing, he felt satisfied. In the past, he did not get close to women and was known for his indifference. He rarely had intimate contact with others because he would feel physically uncomfortable if others were too close to him. It was only when he found out that he was with Shen Hanxing that he realized that he actually did not hate touching, caressing, and kissing that much. Instead, it was as if he had skinship cravings and could not wait to get closer to her. He liked to hold her hand, hug her, kiss her, and touch every inch of her skin. As long as he saw her, he wanted to stick to her.
Holding Shen Hanxing’s hand, Ji Yan finally shifted his gaze to Lu Shaoyang, whose expression was constantly changing. He said coldly, “Young Master Lu, you’re still here. Do you want us to entertain you?” He had a strong aura and when he put on a cold face, no one would dare to be presumptuous. They were about the same age. Lu Shaoyang was still learning the knowledge of managing a company carefully under the protection of Lu Guo, but Ji Yan had already fought countless rounds in the business world and become the final winner. Even Lu Guo, his father, had to flatter him. Ji Yan was no longer on the same level as them.
This realization made Lu Shaoyang’s face turn from pale to red, especially when he could clearly feel the disdain hidden under Ji Yan’s cold and sharp expression. It was as if Ji Yan was questioning him, how could a person like him be worthy of the Ji family’s hospitality? It was simply a great humiliation! Especially when the girl he liked was also taken away by Ji Yan!
