Chapter 315 - You're Not a Child Anymore

Seeing that his wife was unhappy, Mr. Bai shook his head helplessly. “You’re really… Alright, Alright. I’m not as petty as you say. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take care of Cheng Songyang.”

Mrs. Bai didn’t mingle in the business world, so there were some reasons she didn’t understand. However, Mr. Bai was different. He knew what the Ji Corporation was like when Ji Yan took over the Ji Corporation. It could be said that the Ji Corporation was riddled with holes. It was much more troublesome than the Cheng family was now. However, Ji Yan had solved all of them one by one and even led the Ji Corporation to rise. Ji Yan was a true business genius. He was born to be a powerful figure in the business world. It was a pity..

Mr. Bai lowered his eyelids as he sighed softly. “I’m not heartless. I have seen how good Cheng Songyang is to Youyou. He has sincere feelings for Youyou. I will not mistreat him.” In any case, the Bai family had a lot of money, so it was easy to bring up a young man.

Mrs. Bai nodded in satisfaction. Although their conversation was soft, Cheng Songyang still heard it. He smiled in satisfaction and patted Bai Youyou’s hand gently. It seemed that trash wasn’t completely useless. Sometimes, Bai Youyou was more useful alive than dead.

On one side, the Bai family had finally calmed down, but on the other side, Ji Yan wasn’t in a good mood. With a gloomy look, he went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for Shen Hanxing. Shen Hanxing was only wearing Si Cheng High School’s uniform. She didn’t even wear a jacket. Her knee and her arms were full of scratches left by Bai Youyou. She looked terrifying.

“It’s just some superficial wounds. It’s nothing.” Shen Hanxing shrugged indifferently. She smiled and pinched Ji Yan’s face. “Mr. Ji, don’t be unhappy. You’ll make me think that I’m seriously ill and about to die.”

“Nonsense!” Ji Yan suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Shen Hanxing. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Ji Yan wasn’t a superstitious person. He didn’t believe in the myths of ghosts and gods. In his world, there was only work and no taboos. However, after meeting Shen Hanxing, he was very sensitive to the word ‘death’. He hoped that his wife would always be safe and healthy.

This was the first time that Ji Yan had spoken to her in such a fierce tone in a long time. Shen Hanxing smiled with her eyes curved. She rested her forehead on Ji Yan’s shoulder and gently rubbed it. “Will you forgive me just this once?” Her voice was clear and sweet, and she was deliberately acting coquettishly. The way she dragged her words was even cuter.

Ji Yan’s heart instantly softened, but he still said with a straight face, “You’re not a child anymore.”

“I want to be a child.” Shen Hanxing smiled as she leaned over to Ji Yan’s cheek and kissed him gently. “I didn’t have a childhood, and I didn’t know what a child should be like. It wasn’t until I met Mr. Ji that my life became relaxing. So, I want to be a child in front of you.” She had known the hardships of life since she was very young. That was why she had learned to take care of herself and the people around her. She didn’t want to cause any trouble for her grandmother. She had lived like a tense string, not daring to relax in the slightest.

It was only until she met Ji Yan… that Shen Hanxing could truly stretch herself. She could do as she pleased. She didn’t have to worry about life, nor did she have to be on guard against anything. Shen Hanxing thought that it was fortunate that she was lucky enough to meet someone who took good care of her.

“You can be a child, but there are some situations where you can’t.” Ji Yan’s black eyes looked at Shen Hanxing, and there was a vague emotion in his eyes. “I hope that you will always be happy.”

Shen Hanxing blinked and didn’t understand what Ji Yan meant until she saw the emotion in Ji Yan’s eyes. Her face instantly turned red! She moved her eyes away and muttered softly, “Mr. Ji has become bad.”

Ji Yan chuckled and raised his hand to touch Shen Hanxing’s cheek. He said in a low voice, “Apart from when in bed, you can always be a child. You can always be my princess or my queen. As long as you’re happy, you can do whatever you want.” He would always protect her from behind. He wouldn’t let her worry, suffer, or live a miserable life. He would let her be happy and shelter her from the wind and rain.

Ji Yan’s voice was too solemn, as if he was making a promise. Shen Hanxing’s heart felt warm. She leaned on Ji Yan’s shoulder, enjoying the rare cozy time between the two of them.
