She didn’t say anything, and she had never complained. She bore everything, and her strength made him stop looking at her.
Thinking of what she had once said about being drunk, Shang Jin’s eyes were so deep that the cold moon in the sky reflected a touch of soft light.
“Here we are.” Ji Yan’s eyes lit up. She opened the car door and got out. She did not forget to go to the other side to help Shang Jinshen get out of the car.
Shang Jinshen was pushed into an old-decorated restaurant by her. Under the light, Ji Yan was as beautiful as glass, and her big eyes seemed to be decorated with the most tender luster. It seemed that she could feel the good mood that followed when she looked at her.
“Old man, here are two bowls of chili porridge and one serving doesn’t require any fragrant dishes. Well, let’s order a few dishes made by granny.” Ji Yan smiled and ordered, looking at the old man very familiarly.
Uncle also looked at her with a smile. He was so angry that he made a gesture of “OK”.
“You often come?” Shang Jinshen asked.
Ji Yan saw that he did not dislike the decoration of this house early in the morning, so her expression became much gentler. She nodded and said, “The uncle and mother-in-law of the shop can’t talk to each other, but they are good at cooking. I used to come here often.”
He couldn’t say anything? Mute? No wonder his uncle looked at Ji Yan with kind eyes, but he didn’t say anything.
Ji Yan suddenly made a playful gesture, tilted her head cutely, and said, “This is what I taught uncle. I told him that many people can understand it.”
“Ghost spirit.” Shang Jin looked at her and couldn’t help but think of these two words.
After a while, the old man brought Ji Yan’s order. Ji Yan hurriedly took out her bowl and chopsticks. She couldn’t wait to fill the porridge for herself and Shang Jinshen, and then lowered her head to taste it, sighing with satisfaction.
“Is it really that delicious?” Shang Jinshen took a sip as well. “It smells good, but it’s not that exaggerated.”
Looking at Ji Yan, who ate with satisfaction, he couldn’t help but feel that the porridge in the bowl was more delicious.
“This porridge and sweet potato are a perfect match!” she said.
“As the president’s wife, she doesn’t like to love sweet potatoes. No one will believe her if she tells others about it, right?”
“If you want to eat, ask someone to send you home,” Shang Jinshen suddenly said. If she was so easily satisfied, he could spoil her.
Ji Yan shook her head. “That doesn’t sound like it. You don’t understand.”
He frowned coldly. “He doesn’t understand?”
She quickly smiled and said, “It’s just an intention to eat. I won’t cherish the delicious food.”
He suddenly remembered that it seemed that every time she personally brought it here, it tasted different from other dishes. He was more interested in it. Was this the reason?
“We can also sponsor a branch in the Northern Jiang District,” he thought.
Ji Yan quickly refused, “No, this kind of shop is not suitable for the Northern Jiang District.” It was a rich residential area, and this kind of porridge shop was simple and sincere. Why did it have to be rejected when it was sold to that person? Besides…
She put down her chopsticks and said slowly, “When I first came to North River City, my mother took me to this restaurant for the first time.” It was also the last meal her mother had with her, and then she was sent to the Ji family.
It was the first time that Ji Yan had mentioned her mother in front of Shang Jinshen. She was neither sad nor happy, as if she was telling a simple story.
Therefore, this shop was of special significance to her. Every time she missed her mother, she would save money for porridge.
Shang Jinshen didn’t say anything. Looking at her expressionless face, he felt pity for her. He had investigated Ji Yan’s mother. At first, he thought that she had abandoned her mother in order to live a good life in the Ji family.
Now it seemed that they were all wrong. Not only him, but also many people misunderstood this girl.
“I told you that the porridge here is good, isn’t it?” She smiled with bright eyes, looking proud and proud.
“Yes, it’s not bad,” he replied. Although his expression was still faint, there was no coldness around him all year round.
After getting his recognition, Ji Yan’s little face suddenly lit up, attracting his attention.
Since she had said that it was a treat, she rushed to pay the bill after the meal. Shang Jinshen leaned against the door and looked at her with a sweet smile and made an unknown gesture to his uncle.
She knew how to speak in dumb language?
On the way, when Jin Shen was bored to ask questions, Ji Yan was still stunned. Then she shook her head and said with a smile, “I just know a little simple.”
Shang Jinshen didn’t say anything else. Ji Yan hesitated for a long time, and her hesitant look made Shang Jinshen raise his eyebrows and look at her.
“Well, can your legs recover?”
Her words made the originally warm carriage suddenly become a few degrees colder. She pursed her lips tightly and looked at the man with her innocent watery eyes.
“We might be able to.” It was rare for him to actually reply.
Ji Yan nodded as if she understood and murmured, “It means that the muscles haven’t shrunk yet.”
Shang Jin closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He ignored her.
When they arrived at the shop, they saw Young Madam driving back with the young master. Both Mrs. Zhang and the housekeeper were stunned. Then, Mrs. Zhang’s face was full of joy, while the housekeeper was expressionless.
“Young Master, Young Madam,” Madam Zhang called out.
Ji Yan nodded and helped Shang Jinshen into the room.
Looking around, Madam Zhang knew what Ji Yan was looking at. She said in the tunnel, “Madam came back in the evening and has fallen asleep now.”
Well, it was no wonder that the housekeeper, who had always followed Mrs. Shang, would be at home. But she always felt that the housekeeper was not familiar, as if she had seen him before she married the businessman.
She shook her head, got rid of those thoughts, and went upstairs to serve Mr. Shang.
Mr. Shang was obviously in a good mood tonight. After Ji Yan sat on the bed, she tilted her head and asked tentatively, “How about I give you a massage of your legs?”
She glanced out of the window and saw the sound of thunder. Just now, the weather was fine, but in an instant, there was a storm.
“In this kind of weather, my legs will hurt.” Seeing that he did not respond, she seemed to explain that if my legs were injured, it would easily cause pain in the rainy weather, which she knew.
Taking a deep look at her, Shang Jinshen replied with a “yes”.
Ji Yan lowered her body and moved his legs to her legs. She rubbed his legs gently as if she was treating a design item seriously.
Shang Jinshen was in the middle of the night. Looking at her face, which was not very clear, he didn’t know why, but an iceberg was slowly melting in his heart.
His legs were fake, but the car accident at that time did seriously injure his legs, so he endured it every time it was painful.
But she didn’t expect that one day, someone would be worried about his legs and seriously help him relieve the pain.
Moreover, this person was the most disdainful and unbelievable woman in his life. However, he could not deny the throbbing of her little hands.
Ji Yan didn’t notice the change in Shang Jinshen’s eyes. She lowered her head and did what she wanted to do, in case she was affected by the thunder outside the window.
There was nothing to be afraid of, but when she heard this kind of thunder, she felt uncomfortable and her heart was always beating uneasily.
“Don’t massage me. Go to sleep.” He pulled her over and lay her down.
For the first time, when she lay on his chest, Ji Yan felt that all the uneasiness had disappeared inexplicably, and even the sound outside the window no longer scared her.
At this moment, she didn’t know that this was the so-called sense of security.
