The three of them were so warm, just like a real family. In the distance, Shang Jingshen was sitting on the sofa with a cold expression. His eyes seemed to fall on a painting hanging in the corner of the wall. It was the painting he brought back from Italy a few years ago.
At that time, he felt that he was too strange, so he casually threw the painting into the suitcase. Later, when he returned to the shop, he was accidentally put away by the nanny. When he suddenly thought of it, he went crazy and found it again.
Then he hung her in his room for three years. He didn’t know why it was like this, but when he came back and saw the woman in the portrait, it had almost become his habit.
“Who the hell are you?” he murmured. His eyes looked further away, as if he wanted to look through the portrait to see something.
“Shen, are you there?” While he was lost in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Maggie’s delicate voice came.
He suddenly pursed his lips, and his face became a little pale for some reason. After a long while, he got up, walked to the door, and opened it. He asked lightly, “What can I do for you?”
Maggie looked inside through his body as if she wanted to spy on something. Shang Jinshen’s bedroom was a forbidden area. In the past three years, she had tried countless times to enter, but she failed.
He hadn’t even gone any further, yet he kept a distance from her from time to time.
Every time Maggie thought of this, she couldn’t help clenching her fists. It had been three years, and he had forgotten Ji Yan. Why did she still not belong to him?
Seeing that he was blocking most of the door, Maggie forced a smile and said, “Shen, I heard that you were on vacation, so I wanted to ask you out. Let’s go out for a vacation together. I heard that the former bay developed by the company has a good scenery.”
“The front bay?” He subconsciously frowned and refused, “I’m not going.”
Maggie’s face stiffened, and the anger in her heart began to slowly rise, but she could only pretend to be wronged. “Shen, why don’t you go? I haven’t gone out to relax for a long time.”
“If you don’t want to go to the bay, we can go somewhere else. Ocean City, how about it? It’s sunny there. It’s comfortable to bask in the sunshine on the beach,” she said tentatively. She couldn’t afford to waste her youth like this anymore. Instead of following Shang Jinshen, she might as well take a gamble, as long as she could get along with him alone.
At that time, she would have a chance to finish the last thing. It would be better if she could get pregnant. Maggie had a good plan, so she looked at Shang Jinshen expectantly.
After a moment of silence, Shang Jinshen casually agreed. Maggie’s face lit up, and the smile on her face was as bright as the sun. Unfortunately, she didn’t attract any attention from Shang Jinshen at all.
He said, “Is there anything else? I have to deal with work.”
The coldness in his tone instantly extinguished all the joy in Maggie’s heart. She knew that Shang Jinshen had no feelings for her for a long time.
However, she was the one who had been with him since he was a child. She had only been away for a while. Why did he fall in love with someone else? How could she accept this?
Maggie was angry, but she didn’t dare to disturb Shang Jingshen’s office again. She was afraid that he would cancel the trip he had just agreed on. This man was absolutely capable of doing it.
After Maggie left, Shang Jinshen went straight to the study. He didn’t pay attention to Maggie at all. The reason why he promised to go on a trip just now was that there seemed to be a few years ago when he reported that he had dinner with Maggie. The side image behind the photo made him feel that he was very similar to the woman in the picture. It was so similar that he had an intuition that they were actually alone.
Therefore, he suddenly wanted to go to Ocean City again. Maybe he could meet her.
Half a month later, Ji Yan also got on the plane that flew back to Hai City. This time, she was not alone, but with Yan Feng. It would soon be her mother’s birthday, so she would take Yan Feng to see her.
Now that it was a piece of cake for Yan Feng, he knew that his grandmother’s death had dealt a huge blow to his mommy. He had heard from his father that he had met her at her grave and was held in her arms.
Ji Yan and Lin Feng did not hide his background. Only when Ji Yan faced it calmly would his life continue to be wonderful.
Yan Feng didn’t disappoint them. He didn’t feel anything when he listened to his own story. In his heart, the most important thing was his mommy and his sworn father. As long as they wanted him, he would be very happy. As for others, he didn’t care about them.
“Mommy, if we go to China this time and don’t bring Dad along, he will definitely be very sad,” Xiao Yanfeng said softly to Ji Yan, who was sitting on the plane, with a straw in his mouth and drinking orange juice.
Ji Yan glanced at him and said with a smile, “No, your sworn father is very busy, so he definitely doesn’t have time to accompany us. Besides, it’s your mommy’s private affair this time. It’s not good to take you as your sworn father, understand?”
When she talked about Lin Feng in front of Yan Feng, she would always call him Yan Feng’s sworn father. With just a few words, she could clearly distance herself from him. She could let everyone know that they were not husband and wife, nor were they from the same family.
Since she had Yan Feng three years ago, Ji Yan had not come back during the annual festival. She was already very sad and guilty, so when she was in Italy, she resolutely took a vacation and brought Yan Feng back to visit her mother.
“Oh, I see.” Yan Feng thought for a while and replied seriously.
Soon, the plane landed, and the sea breeze of Ocean City was particularly refreshing and comfortable.
Ji Yan held the suitcase in one hand and Yan Feng in the other. Yan Feng was carrying a big schoolbag on his back. She didn’t know what was inside, but he followed Ji Yan with his short legs. He looked very cute.
“Shen, what are you looking at?” Maggie looked in the same direction as Shang Jinshen. “Nothing?”
Hearing that, Shang Jinshen looked away and replied, “Nothing.” He only saw a familiar back, as if he had occupied the memory of the strange woman he had been thinking about for three years.
But he must have seen wrongly. That woman was leading a child. She was definitely not the one he had been dreaming about.
“Shen, let’s go. I’ve booked a hotel,” Maggie said with a sweet smile. Like a sweet girlfriend, she followed Shang Jinshen. As a star, she was not afraid of attracting attention at all. Instead, she walked beside Shang Jinshen in an ostentatious manner, as if she was afraid that others would not know. She also accepted other people’s looks with a smile.
“Yes,” replied Shang Jinshen. He didn’t say anything and strode out of the airport.
