After dealing with the wound, Shang Jinshen took Ji Yan straight back to the shop. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Shang sitting on the sofa.
“What’s going on?” Mrs. Shang frowned. She watched as Shang Jin held Ji Yan in his arms, followed by Smith, who was pushing a wheelchair.
The wheelchair belonged to Smith, who had just driven to get the car. It was not yet the time to expose Shang Jinshen’s legs.
Mrs. Shang came over and was shocked when she saw the wounds on Ji Yan’s face. She screamed, “What’s going on? We can’t have a disfigured daughter-in-law.”
Seeing that his wife didn’t care about him, but was worried that Ji Yan’s face would be disfigured, Shang Jinshen’s face darkened. It was the first time that he had felt that his mother’s words were so harsh.
The little woman in his arms trembled because of Mrs. Shang’s words. Shang Jinshen patted her on the back to comfort her and said to Mrs. Shang with a poker face, “She did it to save me!”
Mrs. Shang was stunned. She stared at Ji Yan, who had her eyes closed, and did not say anything unpleasant. She must have been shocked by what Shang Jingshen said.
“He was injured in order to save his son?” Mrs. Shang’s expression darkened. No one knew what she was thinking.
Shang Jinshen suddenly glanced at the butler behind Mrs. Shang. The butler quickly lowered his head and felt that his young master’s eyes were very sharp, as if he wanted to take off his skin.
He was perturbed. “The young master probably doesn’t know what he is doing behind the scenes, does he?”
“The housekeeper, today you go to cook porridge for Young Madam and bring it upstairs. Be careful,” Shang Jinshen said coldly. Since Mrs. Zhang was not here today, he felt that it was not wrong for him to call the housekeeper.
The moment the butler looked up in shock, Shang Jinshen saw a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He snorted in his heart. “He is just a servant. How dare he take me seriously!”
After carrying Ji Yan upstairs, Smith prescribed the medicine and left.
Sitting by Ji Yan’s window, Shang Jinshen asked in a low voice, “Are you hungry? I’ll give you some porridge later.”
Ji Yan shook her head obediently and said honestly, “I’m not very hungry.”
She was not in the mood to eat. After a moment of silence, the housekeeper knocked on the door with porridge.
“Come in. Let’s go out when it’s ready.”
“Yes, young master,” the butler bowed his head and said.
Hearing his voice, Ji Yan’s body moved slightly, and her grip on Shang Jingshen was a little tight. When he went out, Ji Yan bit her lip and said again, “Jin Shen, you must be careful of him.”
Shang Jinshen held her hand and asked, “What do you know?”
Ji Yan pursed her lips and thought about it for a long time. Shang Jinshen was not in a hurry. He heard her say feebly, “Today, the housekeeper came to me and asked me to send something to the Green Willow beauty salon. I met Liu Lian there.”
“You should also be careful of Liu Lian. She seems to have some hidden cards up her sleeve,” Ji Yan said everything. She tried to convince herself to trust Shang Jinshen, but she didn’t mention the part of Boss Lu Liu. She always felt that the woman was not malicious, and she didn’t want Shang Jinshen to pay attention to that woman and make trouble for her because of her.
Shang Jinshen’s expression didn’t change. He said, “Hmm.” Ji Yan told him everything without reservation, which made him very determined. As for the housekeeper and Liu Lian, he would investigate them thoroughly.
“Don’t get involved in this matter. I’ll take care of it. Take good care of yourself.”
“Alright.” The corners of her lips curled into a smile.
Shang Jinshen served her porridge and helped her sit up. Ji Yan couldn’t open her eyes yet, so Shang Jinshen fed her with a spoon.
When had Ji Yan ever been treated like this? Her heart was sour and sweet as she allowed Shang Jinshen to gently feed her. She didn’t say anything and enjoyed the warmth of this moment.
She really hoped that he could always treat her well like this.
However, she didn’t dare to ask if Shang Jingshen had fallen in love with her. Perhaps it was only because she had rushed over to save him that he had been kind to her. Even if this idea would make her feel sad, it was the most possible, wasn’t it?
After feeding Ji Yan porridge and taking the medicine, Shang Jinshen didn’t continue to accompany her.
After tucking her in, Shang Jinshen walked into the study.
After Rans dealt with his Ji Gui, he came to the shop to report to his young master as soon as possible.
“Have you dealt with the matters at the front bay?”
Lan Si nodded. “It’s done, but more and more people know that the young master’s legs…” He was worried that he wouldn’t be able to pretend for long.
Shang Jinshen didn’t pay much attention to it and said, “Well, let Smith arrange for my leg to start working.”
Lan Si was stunned, but then he nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
“Go and check if there is any relationship between Liu Lian and the official prestige.”
“An official’s authority? Isn’t that the steward of a merchant?” Lan Si guessed something. Instantly, his face turned cold and he took the order and left.
When Shang Jin returned to his room in the middle of the night, the night lights were still on. When he got closer, Ji Yan was already sleeping soundly.
His little face was still tightly wrinkled in his sleep, which made his face look even more helpless and fragile. He stretched out his big hand and rubbed the uninjured part of her face.
What was this little woman thinking? She blocked the danger for him and told him that the housekeeper was not honest and was getting better for him. What was the reason?
He was confident that Ji Yan was definitely not greedy for anything, so why?
Ji Yan seemed to feel a familiar smell. She rubbed against the pair of big hands, opened her eyebrows, and a smile appeared on her face.
In an instant, his heart was tightly clenched by such a faint smile. The temperature of his heartbeat was getting higher and higher, and it was getting faster and faster.
Shang Jinshen lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. For the first time, he didn’t hide his tenderness. When she was asleep, he looked at her with great pity.
The disgust and resistance from the beginning, the misunderstanding, and the integration, finally, the two cold hearts began to get closer. Outside the window, the moon was shining, and the room was full of tenderness.
When Ji Yan woke up the next day and was about to sit up, her body was pressed back to her hot chest. She blushed and opened her mouth slightly. “Are you still here?”
The man did not respond. What responded to her was a pair of strong big hands hugging her.
Ji Yan pursed her lips and smiled. “Jin Shen, good morning.” It was the first time for her to wake up in his arms in peace. She didn’t think about anything and just wanted to say good morning to him.
The man was still responding, but his movements were even more gentle.
He lay down with her in his arms until it was nearly 10 o’clock. When even Ji Yan began to wonder if Jin Jingshen was a businessman and went to work, he finally moved and held her in his arms to get up.
The last time she wrapped her hands, she couldn’t put on her clothes by herself. This time, she couldn’t open her eyes and couldn’t see. She couldn’t put on her clothes by herself.
He took out the clothes of excellent quality and helped her put them on one by one. Ji Yan was no longer as cooperative as last time, but smiled. Although she couldn’t see him, she didn’t hide her joy.
Shang Jinshen’s gaze fell on her smile for a long time. Slowly, there was a hint of a smile on his lips.
He had laughed before, but it was a fake smile. Every time he smiled, it was a sneer. But this time, he showed his true feelings. Unfortunately, Ji Yan couldn’t see it.
