In the cool air, her body suddenly shrank slightly and shivered like she was cold. Her eyes were covered, but they could not hide her fear. She bit her lip tightly and exclaimed softly, “No.”
He paused and heard her cry. She said no…
In the past, Shang Jinshen had never cared about her wishes, but now, he stopped.
He released her and looked into the depths of her watery eyes. Ji Yan was uneasy, nervous, and afraid…
As much as she smiled with her chin up, there were still things that scared her. Scared that life would bring darkness.
He no longer had any lustful thoughts. He picked up the clothes on the ground and helped her put them back on. Her eyes gradually became warm. He did not force her, but made her trust him and feel more at ease.
Taking the initiative to snuggle into his arms, Ji Yan tilted her head and asked, “Am I thinking too much?”
Her eyes were bright and full of expectations. He could no longer say the words he said a few days ago. Maybe he could not bear to see her disappointed, so he whispered, “No.”
“No? Well then.” She pulled out the purest smile and let him hug her obediently.
Shang Jinshen gazed at her little face which was showing how much she believed in those words. His heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. He couldn’t deny that he was touched by this little wild cat. A strange wave of something that felt vaguely like love surged toward him like waves. He felt as if it was going to drown him.
The little wild cat was tired. She closed her eyes in his arms, peaceful.
He got up and carried her out, thinking that he could not let her drink in front of outsiders in the future.
He couldn’t let others see this cute look of hers.
When Lan Si saw his young master coming out with the young lady in his arms, his eyes were a little red. The young master would actually carry the young madam out without any disguise. Maybe the young master really went all out and was willing to accept the young madam.
The night was getting late.
Shang Jinshen brought the drunk Ji Yan back to the Shang family’s mansion. Mrs. Shang was sitting on the sofa. When she saw Ji Yan, she looked displeased.
“Go and make some soup to sober her up. Take her upstairs to rest,” Shang Jinshen said to Mrs. Zhang lightly and handed the little woman in his arms to her.
“The young madam of the Shang family, getting drunk outside like that. What is she thinking?” Mrs. Shang raised her eyebrows and complained in a sharp voice.
However, Ji Yan was so drunk that she couldn’t stand up for herself. She stared at Shang Jinshen with a bright smile in her eyes.
The man held his forehead and waved his hand to ask Mrs. Zhang to take the little drunk cat away quickly. How could this woman be so silly when she was drunk?
“What’s wrong? You don’t respect me as the mistress of this house anymore?” Mrs. Shang held back her anger. The Han family had lost their shares and she had no support. Mrs. Shang felt nothing but anxiousness. At this moment, when she saw the drunk Ji Yan, she felt even more unpleasant.
As the mistress of the house, she told her son that she, Han Xiulan, was the mistress of the Shang family.
Shang Jinshen scoffed and just thought that it was all too tedious. A proud person like his mother also liked to hold the power in her hands. How could Ji Yan not respect her?
“Mom, you should be glad that I got the shares of the Han family. Otherwise, the Shang Corp. would be… haha.”
Mrs. Shang frowned. “What do you mean?”
He smiled carelessly. “Do you know that the sneaky old man transferred all his shares to Shang Yu An?”
“What?” Mrs. Shang was shocked. “That old b*stard gave all his shares to that lowly illegitimate son of his, Shang Yu An? It must have been Liu Lian, that seductive woman. She must have tricked him into giving away his shares.”
For a moment, Mrs. Shang was so angry that she was in no mood to find fault with Ji Yan. Her heart was full of resentment for the betrayal of her husband and the jealousy toward Liu Lian and her son.
Shang Jinshen was not interested in his mother’s wonderful change of expression. To him, teasing that little wild cat at this moment was more interesting than anything else.
He turned around and went upstairs. He was not worried that the mistress of the Shang family would go and make a scene in Shang Yunan’s house. The old man was so muddle-headed that he gave away his shares to an illegitimate child. There was no way she would let that man live peacefully after that.
“I don’t want this. Give me some wine.” Before he entered the door, Shang Jinshen heard the little drunk cat’s soft voice. It seemed as if she was asking for wine from Madam Zhang. This little girl was addicted to drinking.
He couldn’t help laughing. Pushing the door open, Madam Zhang turned to look at the young master nervously, for fear that the drunk young madam would make the young master angry.
Shang Jinshen was not as furious as she had imagined. He waved his hand to dismiss her. Madam Zhang was surprised, but she didn’t dare to ask more. She put away the soup and warm milk before she went downstairs.
Ji Yan had already changed into a set of pink and fluffy pajamas. She was sitting cross-legged on the soft bed, staring at Shang Jinshen with wide eyes.
Shang Jinshen’s eyes darkened as he looked at her. The little woman tilted her head and asked in surprise, “You can walk?”
…
Seeing her small eyes fall on the empty wheelchair again, Shang Jinshen couldn’t help touching his forehead again. She was drunk, but was he being too careless?
But subconsciously, he felt that even if Ji Yan knew his secret, she would not do anything harmful to him. This was an inexplicable intuition.
As for Ji Yan, she stared at his legs curiously. He stepped forward and threw himself at the little wild cat. He was not in the mood for a question-and-answer session, so he simply took action with the desire that rose up that night.
He had already wanted to be on top of her when she started drinking. At that moment, wasn’t it perfect that it was night time?
After that night.
“Ouch. I’m so sore.” Ji Yan tried to get up while she massaged her sore body. She was once again alone on the big white bed.
Lifting the quilt, Ji Yan blushed when she saw that her naked body was covered with tell-tale marks.
This…
Did she do it with Shang Jinshen again the night before? The last thing she remembered clearly was Lan Si picking her up to meet with Jinshen. There, she had a few drinks…
What happened next? What happened? She got sad… Then what happened after was a mystery.
She put on her clothes and stood in front of the mirror. Ji Yan blushed again for even her neck was covered with ambiguous red marks. How could she go out to meet with people?
After looking through her closet for a long time, Ji Yan finally found a matching silk scarf, tidied it, and opened the door to go downstairs.
It was very quiet. When she went down, she suddenly saw Mrs. Shang sitting quietly on the sofa. Ji Yan was stunned. She thought there was no one down there.
Ji Yan pursed her lips and took the initiative to say, “Good morning, Madam. You’re back.”
“Can’t I come back? I bet you didn’t want me to come back.” Mrs. Shang raised her head and scolded Ji Yan harshly.
“Of course not. This is your home. Of course, you can come back whenever you want.” She was used to her tricky questions. So, it was not hard for her to give a satisfactory answer.
Mrs. Shang also found that her daughter-in-law, who was not good at speaking when she joined the family, seemed to have found enlightenment. She wouldn’t hold back her words now. She snorted and ordered, “Make me some breakfast.”
