793 A Surprise
“You’re also very young, Mr. Ji.” Shen Hanxing couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she faced the sun. Suddenly, she pinched his cheek and pulled it. “Don’t be so serious all the time, Mr. Ji!”
“I’m used to it.” Ji Yan felt a little helpless and let Shen Hanxing’s fingers mess around on his face. He said gently, “When I took over the Ji Corporation, I was still young. Being lively won’t help to suppress people.”
Shen Hanxing had heard some rumors about Ji Yan and knew how difficult it had been for him to take over the Ji Corporation. She could not imagine how he had managed to turn the tide at such a young age.
“You must have had a hard time in the past, right?” Shen Hanxing gently rubbed the thin calluses on Ji Yan’s palm, feeling a little distressed.
“I used to think that life was hard.” Ji Yan held Shen Hanxing’s hand and said calmly, “After meeting you, my wife, I don’t feel bitter anymore.” She was so sweet, like a piece of honey. With her around, there was only sweetness left in his life. Ji Yan had once felt that he was unlucky, which was why he had so many hardships and met such a family. He had gone through countless hardships, but now he realized that perhaps all his luck had been used to meet her. It was fortunate that he had met her.
Ji Yan lifted Shen Hanxing’s hand and kissed it. He said in a low and charming voice, “My wife is a reward from the heavens.”
His simple words made Shen Hanxing’s heart tighten and her eyes reddened. He was her salvation. It was Ji Yan who helped her walk out of her shadow and experience the happiness of being loved. If it weren’t for him, she might not have learned how to love and would not have believed that she could be loved.
The fish in the farmhouse were all fat and foolish. Even with Ji Qian and Ji Ning messing around, Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan still managed to catch a few big fish. They sent them to the kitchen during dinner and made boiled and roasted fish. They were fresh and delicious. This farmhouse not only had a good environment, but the kitchen staff’s skills were also very good. The various activities were also very fun. It was no wonder that it was popular in the upper-class circle of S City.
When the day was over and the sky was dark, they returned to their rooms to rest. Shen Hanxing had just taken a shower when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw Ji Yan standing at the door. He looked at her with his dark eyes and asked, “Are you tired, my wife?”
“Do you have any plans, Mr. Ji?” Shen Hanxing’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Ji Yan. It was her first time out to have fun, and not only did Ji Qian and the others feel that they were having a great time, but she was also very relaxed and had a lot of fun.
“Follow me.” A faint smile flashed across Ji Yan’s eyes when he saw that. He raised his hand and gestured for Shen Hanxing to keep quiet, indicating that she should not alarm the people in the surrounding rooms. Then, he reached out and held Shen Hanxing’s hand as they walked out of the room. “I’ll take you to see the scenery.”
Looking at the scenery at this time? Shen Hanxing glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already ten o’clock at night. They were in the suburbs near the foot of the mountain. If it were not for the farmhouse, it would have been a deserted place with no one living in it and poor public facilities. Other than the farmhouse and the road outside, which had street lights, the rest of the place was dark. What scenery could they see at this time?
Filled with curiosity, Shen Hanxing did not probe further and followed Ji Yan’s footsteps with complete trust. She had thought that the scenery Ji Yan had mentioned would be near the entrance, but to her surprise, Ji Yan held her hand and led Shen Hanxing out of the back door of the farmhouse to a small hill nearby.
Shen Hanxing could not help but laugh when she saw Ji Yan take out a flashlight from his pants. “Where are you taking me, Mr. Ji?” She felt that today’s trip was more and more worth it. Not only did she win ten million dollars from Lu Shaoyang, but she could also see Ji Yan in different situations. Ji Yan, who was holding a flashlight in the dark and strolling in the wild, seemed very different from the usual noble and distant him in a suit and leather shoes. It was like two different people, but at the same time, these different sides of him made him more alive. He was no longer a god who was high and mighty, but a good-looking mortal.
“Just follow me, my wife.” Ji Yan held Shen Hanxing’s hand steadily and led her away from the bushes by the side of the road. He took care of her carefully. “Be careful, don’t trip.”
Did he need to be so mysterious? Shen Hanxing raised her brows and her eyes flickered with interest. Since Ji Yan was not willing to say more, she did not ask any more questions and followed him obediently.
