After the bustle, it was not empty. Shang Jin felt like he was in a warm spring, although a man was too tired of having such feelings.
It was getting late when they returned to the shop. The shop’s villa was quiet in the middle of the chaos. The two of them got into a taxi and got off the bus. There was a long way to go.
At nine o’clock, it was the busiest and most gorgeous time in the city, but the road leading to the merchants was quiet and gentle. The street lamps on both sides were covered with a Eutonland style and a yellow halo.
Shang Jinshen’s shadow was drawn out, and he pulled out a slender and vertical part of her body. Ji Yan stepped on his shadow and followed him step by step, like a game that kept chasing after an hour. She enjoyed herself and sang behind him. Shang Jinshen had no choice but to grab her wrist. He endured it! From time to time, he ran up to her and hit her on his back. He endured her wandering around from time to time. He endured her ignoring a living person and trying to step on his shadow. But at this time, she was singing, “Happy break-up! Happy birthday to you!” What did it mean?
“How old are you? Take a good walk.” She pulled her wrists and arms, and the two of them were shoulder to shoulder. Ji Yan curled her lips and thought quickly. “Let’s go to see him tomorrow.”
“Hmm?” She was left far behind by her jumping thoughts. The person who had been singing just now suddenly became serious.
With a long sigh, Ji Yan’s nose suddenly felt sore. Fortunately, the light at night was not very good, so no one saw the light red around her eyes.
With her little fingers slightly raised, she made an arc and stroked the scattered hair on her temples. She said calmly, “Let’s go to see Shang Yu An. After all, his relationship with us is not that simple. Now that he is dead, there are not many relatives and friends who can go to see him. Anyway, we are free. Why don’t we go and have a look?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yan immediately regretted it. Did he think that she was still obsessed with Shang Yu An?
She nervously stared at the change in Shang Jinshen’s expression. It seemed that as long as he frowned, Ji Yan could jump three meters high.
Fortunately, Shang Jinshen’s expression was calm, and he had been smiling coldly. Ji Yan was used to it, but she didn’t feel anything to be afraid of.
After a long while, Shang Jinshen caught her eyes tightly. He curled his lips and said in a disdainful tone, “I don’t need to say a word about my relationship with him. I can make it clear with just one word: enemies.”
The surrounding air was silent. It was indeed true when Ji Yan thought about it. The two of them had always been incompatible like fire and water. One was her own son and the other was her illegitimate child. However, it was precisely because of Shang Yu An’s illegitimate son that the two of them had a mutual affection for each other.
“You hate him very much.” Ji Yan said with certainty. She knew that this was an obvious fact, but when she said this, there was something called dignity in her heart. “Is it because Shang Yu An is an illegitimate child?”
If so, she was also an illegitimate daughter. What did he think of her in his heart? Or did he think that she and her mother were the kind of women who ruined other people’s family?
The more she cared about it, the more sensitive she became. At this time, Ji Yan’s mood had been torn apart.
“Yes,” Shang Jinshen replied firmly. “He doesn’t deserve to be called the Second Young Master of the Shang family.”
Shang Jinshen looked into Ji Yan’s eyes. They were standing beside the street lamps. The light was different from before. At this moment, he could clearly see the tears reflected in her eyes, but he had to tell her what he had to say. He couldn’t force himself to like Shang Yu An.
He didn’t notice Ji Yan’s delicate and sensitive thoughts. He just thought that she was the same emotional intelligence as Yu An, so he was a little dissatisfied.
“Shang Jinshen.” Ji Yan hugged his waist and put her side face on his chest. Her voice sounded nervous and aggrieved. “Are you looking down on us illegitimate children and illegitimate children?”
The vibration in her eardrums did not change, but it was still beating in an orderly manner. Shang Jinshen did not feel guilty and nervous because of her words. He reached out to stroke her hair and whispered, “Ji Yan, do you know that it’s different from person to person?”
Shang Jinshen couldn’t give her an affirmative answer. He hated those who didn’t know their limits and couldn’t behave themselves. However, he liked the woman in his arms so much. It didn’t concern his family, appearance, or talent. He just couldn’t control his love from the roots of his hair to the tips of his toes. He only thought that she was the most beautiful Tianci in the world.
Ji Yan raised her chin and rolled her eyes. “You still don’t like all the illegitimate daughters?”
Although he did not give a specific answer, how could Ji Yan not understand? He rejected and hated her, but he said that people were different from each other, so he just treated her differently.
Without saying a word, Shang Jinshen rested his chin casually on her head and kept rubbing it. He said, “That’s not true. There’s someone here, so this ‘all’ is a little less.”
It was not the first time that she had heard him say something nice, but Ji Yan, who was in his arms, was still smiling. She felt like she was warm beside a torch in the winter when she was a child, and all her tears were dry.
Her little face was also very beautiful under the street lamp. For a moment, Shang Jinshen was a little stunned.
She said happily, “Then we’ll go to see Shang Yu An tomorrow.”
She changed the topic so quickly that she returned to the original topic. It was not a question, but a message. She seemed to be very sure that as long as she went, Shang Jinshen would be worried about her.
Looking at him with eager eyes, just like the cute bear he loved most when he was a child, Shang Jinshen nodded his head in agreement. By the time he realized what was going on, Ji Yan had already gotten rid of his arms, spinning and jumping under the street lamp, as if she was in the middle of a stage, releasing her unique charm.
His eyes were more like a chasing light. No matter how dark she was, when their eyes met, she was the girl who could shine.
“Shang Jinshen, I like you so much.” She stopped holding his hands, crossed her fingers, and confessed seriously.
She really liked him, as if she couldn’t collect the water that had been splashed out. But she was afraid that there was something wrong with the water. If his heart was dry, what could he do? Wasn’t Maggie, who had been deeply in love with him, not having a good ending now? However, she couldn’t control her feelings. He was too kind to her. If that day really came, she would be as happy as the beginning.
Shang Jin’s lips curled into a deep smile. He leaned over and pressed his lips against hers. Ji Yan could feel the warmth and tenderness on her lips. His voice was deep and affectionate. “Ji Yan, I love you so much.”
Her heart went through the spring breeze. Although the words came from her ears, Ji Yan still felt that every syllable was poured into her heart from her throat, and her heart was like a puddle of water.
Ji Yan hugged his waist tightly. It was obvious that she should be happy, but her tears were still rolling in her eyes. She buried them deeply in his chest. Ji Yan slowly calmed down and let those complicated emotions fall, leaving only joy.
