The clear and starry sky was particularly quiet and beautiful. Ji Yan looked up at the scenery of the night sky and did not know how to comfort her.
It was not because of what had happened to you that you could easily say that it was not a big deal. Only when you experienced it yourself could you know the despair at that time.
Therefore, she couldn’t comfort Ji M. She could only pray that she could let it go as soon as possible.
She turned around and put her hand on her head. Ji Yan gave a faint comforting smile and changed the topic. “Let’s go in. You’re still busy inside. I’ll take a picture of what you like today.”
Ji Zhen put away her sadness and raised the corner of her mouth. “Well, you have to keep your promise. I won’t show any mercy to you later.”
She smiled, but her eyes were full of tears. What had she done to make herself like this in the past? Money? fame? She didn’t know, but she knew that not only did she get nothing, but she had also lost herself.
She didn’t dare to tell Ji Yan about her dirty plots. She was afraid that the hard-earned warmth would disappear.
The two of them walked to the auction house hand in hand. The auction was in full swing. Ji Ye saw Shang Jinshen walking in their direction. She sensibly let go of Ji Yan’s hand and pointed in the direction of Ji Yan’s parents. “I’m going over.”
He couldn’t wait to leave after saying that. He was afraid that he would be in direct contact with Shang Jingshen.
“Look at how scared you are.” Looking at Ji Ye’s back, Ji Yan glanced at the man who came to her side and opened her mouth slightly.
She didn’t know if it was because of the after effect of the incident of acting as a scapegoat or something else, but she immediately avoided it as soon as she saw Shang Jinshen, just like a mouse meeting a cat.
Picking up the wine glass in his hand and taking a sip, Shang Jinshen narrowed his eyes slightly and said sarcastically, “Who knows if you have a guilty conscience!”
Ji Yang didn’t have a good impression of Shang Jinshen. He didn’t like the things she had done to Ji Yan, not to mention her greedy character of wealth. He hated her so much.
Ji Zhen was also aware of this, so she consciously avoided Shang Jinshen so as not to make trouble for herself.
“Oh, really?” Ji Yan responded perfunctorily and casually. Standing in the center was too conspicuous, so she changed her position and continued to stand.
Shang Jinshen followed her to the corner and put the wine glass on the table casually. He held her face with a serious expression and said, “Of course, you should know better than I do. How can you not know what she has done?”
This woman really forgot the pain when she recovered. Others always showed weakness and kindness, but she could be forgiven in a few minutes.
Looking straight into Shang Jinshen’s eyes, Ji Yan pursed her lips and said seriously, “After all, she is my sister. She… I don’t want to continue hating her. I can’t turn a blind eye to her.”
Perhaps Shang Jinshen was right. She might have saved a venomous snake that could bite people. But so far, Ji Meng was too fragile, and the regret in her eyes did not seem to be fake. Instead of having one more enemy, she might as well have one more friend.
Although she could not treat her as her biological sister, she did not mind having a half-sister who always wanted to plot against her.
“Well, okay.” Shang Jinshen nodded. There was nothing he could do about her stubborness. “But you have to grasp a certain degree. Don’t get close to her. After all, she has too many things to do.”
Ji Yan agreed repeatedly, but there was nothing she could do about it. She knew very well how Ji Yang was doing now. She could sense her changes, but these businessmen didn’t know, and Ji Yan didn’t want him to know about it.
There was a little devil in everyone’s heart, and she was the same. She didn’t know whether it was because she was tired or not, but she didn’t have to talk too much about it. She didn’t have to defend Ji M.
By the time the auction was over, it was already 10 o’clock. Ji Yan lay on the big bed, exhausted, and buried her body in the soft velvet quilt, making a comfortable groan.
“What’s wrong? Are you tired?” Shang Jinshen came out of the bathroom. He only had a bath towel tied around his waist, and his muscular chest was exposed. He saw that Ji Yan was curled up in a ball like a tired rabbit. She looked very pitiful.
Ji Yan didn’t have the strength to reply to him. She stretched out her hand and waved, her eyes tightly closed.
Shang Jinshen walked up to her. The black sheet set off her snow-white skin, and her silver dress had been changed into a light lotus-colored loose dress.
He leaned into her ear and whispered, “In that case, you can cancel your trip to Italy tomorrow. I’ll let you have a good rest.”
All of a sudden, Ji Yan straightened her back and sat up straight. She instantly sobered up and said, “That won’t do. It took me a lot of effort to finish everything. I must go tomorrow. Besides, I’ve promised Yan Feng that I can’t go back on my word.”
She had already disappointed Yan Feng many times. Even if she didn’t talk about him, she still felt guilty.
“Well, since you want to go, go wash up, wash up, and go to bed early. I’ve changed your plane ticket this morning to noon. You don’t have to be in a hurry.” Touching her soft hair, Shang Jinshen had arranged everything for her. When she booked the plane, she was in a hurry. If he hadn’t stopped her, she might have already been on the plane to Italy.
But after this event, her energy had been exhausted. It was difficult for her to even talk properly, let alone fly in the air.
Ji Yan smiled at him and ran to the bathroom barefoot. Behind her, Shang Jinshen smiled helplessly and bent down to pick up a pair of white fluffy slippers.
“Come on, put on your shoes.” Shang Jinshen squatted down and held her ankle with one hand. Suddenly, he was fascinated by her slender and white ankles. She was not only beautiful in the skin but also in the bones.
Her skeleton was smaller than most Eastern women’s, and her figure was slim. He could see the thin blood vessels and well-shaped bones under her smooth skin, forming a beautiful arc.
Ji Yan said something with a toothbrush in her mouth. She followed his gesture and put her feet into her soft shoes.
Shang Jinshen smiled. He couldn’t help but feel that he was a pervert. He couldn’t believe that he could watch a woman’s feet so intently. He was very happy.
He got up and hugged her waist from behind, looking straight ahead. In the mirror, she drooped her eyelids and looked sleepy. The toothbrush in her hand slid left and right mechanically, and the foam on the corner of her mouth was stained.
“Forget it. Let’s go to sleep.” Shang Jinshen took her toothbrush in amusement and handed her a glass of water. Seeing her like this, he had to go to sleep even if he had to brush his teeth.
Taking the cup and swallowing it, Ji Yan spat it out with a sigh of relief. She turned around and hugged Shang Jingshen, leaning against him like a koala. Her eyelids were completely drooping, and she felt so sleepy.
