After Lian Xin left, the public opinion completely calmed down, but Ji Yan couldn’t calm down for a long time. She was afraid that there would be a second, a third, and a fourth…
People’s desires were like black holes. You would never know how ambitious he was. No matter how much money and power he had, he could not fill up a black hole.
Because she was in a bad mood and there was nothing serious in the company, Ji Yan simply asked for leave at home, sent Yan Feng to study in the morning, and occasionally went shopping, but most of them stayed at home to make sweaters.
She weaved two sweaters and three scarfs. The sweater was grey with a round collar, one big and one small. They were exactly the same. Ji Yan raised her wrist. There were still seven or eight hours left before Shang Jinshen got off work.
In order to increase the speed of their hands, it was almost time for them to collect the needles when they came back.
The sweater thread moved back and forth between his fingers. Time passed quickly and slipped between his fingers.
It was faster than expected. When Ji Yan put away the needles, Shang Jinshen had not come back yet. She looked at the time, packed up her things, and was ready to pick up Yan Feng.
When Ji Yan drove back, she had been getting her driver’s license for a long time. However, Shang Jin was worried about her driving, so she could only secretly enjoy it.
However, it seemed that all men had prejudice against female drivers.
Ji Yan became interested and turned her eyes to driver Wang, who was driving in front of her. He was a young man in his twenties.
“Hey, don’t you men believe in the female driver?” She put her handbag in her bag, and there were very few opportunities for her to see the sun.
The driver paused for a moment with a conflicted look on his face.
“I don’t think… most of the female drivers are reliable.”
“Oh?” Ji Yan was puzzled and leaned forward. “Why?”
She got quite a high score in the exam. It felt good to drive on her own. How could she be rejected?
The driver did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, “Miss Ji, have you ever seen a video about the female driver parking the car?”
Ji Yan shook her head. She didn’t like to read those news, so she naturally didn’t know.
“The female driver stopped the car with a burst of laughter and raised her hand in anger.” The driver read out the title seriously, and his voice was particularly loud with two words.
The corner of Ji Yan’s mouth twitched, and she almost couldn’t laugh out loud. “Is it necessary to be so funny?”
Well, this was the end of the topic.
Ji Yan shut her mouth tactfully and secretly made up her mind that she must be proficient in driving. When Shang Jinshen was busy, she would carry Yan Feng with her. The two of them would travel in different places to enjoy different scenery and experience different local customs.
Her phone vibrated. The caller ID showed that it was Shang Jinshen.
“What’s wrong?” Opening the screen, Ji Yan asked softly. Her eyes were fixed on the newspaper, and the color of her eyes gradually darkened.
On the other end of the line, Shang Jinshen urged her to go home, saying that he wanted to give her a surprise.
Ji Yan said a few perfunctory words, hung up the phone, and her fingers stayed in one place.
There was a line of words on it: “A woman pursuing a man across the mountain? The new chapter of the bet on Wall Street has been opened!”
With worry in her eyes, Ji Yan looked at the word “Wu Fan” again.
…
After picking up the child, Shang Jinshen was already sitting in front of the dining table with a gloomy face. When he saw Ji Yan, his face darkened even more.
“What’s wrong? Why did you hang up so quickly?” Yan Feng felt uncomfortable when he heard Yan Feng’s cold tone.
Yan Feng tugged at Ji Yan’s hand and asked quietly, “Mom, did you make Dad angry?”
Her father looked like the King of Hell on TV. Yan Feng leaned closer to his mother and looked at them nervously.
Ji Yan found it funny that such a small thing could create such a big scene. For Yan Feng’s sake, she didn’t care about the bored people over there and told him to have a good meal.
The mother and son became more and more happy as they ate. Yan Feng had completely forgotten about his father who was like the king of hell. He kept talking to his mother about the interesting things in school.
From time to time, the happy laughter echoed in the living room, which undoubtedly added fuel to Shang Jinshen’s mood.
There was a loud crack and the table shook. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pair of chopsticks pressed tightly against Shang Jinshen’s palm.
“Aren’t you hungry?” Ji Yan asked knowingly, with an innocent look on her face. “If you’re not hungry, go to sleep!”
Ignoring Shang Jinshen’s increasingly ugly expression, Ji Yan tilted her head and laughed so hard that Yan Feng couldn’t help laughing.
All of a sudden, Yan Feng stopped laughing and looked behind her in fear. His small lips opened and closed a few times before he finally closed them.
Before long, Ji Yan trembled and turned her head in disbelief. Shang Jinshen narrowed his eyes and held a glass of water in his hand.
“Shang Jinshen!” His back was so cold that Ji Yan couldn’t help shouting, “Childish! Childish!”
How could she pour water into someone else’s collar when she was so old! She was so childish!
Shaking her clothes, Ji Yan looked at the man with dissatisfaction and scolded him for being childish.
Shang Jinshen put down his cup and said to Yan Feng, “If you’re full, go upstairs. If you’re not full, you can eat later.”
He lifted the corner of his mouth and smiled evilly. Now, he was going to deal with a woman who was getting bolder and bolder.
Ji Yan couldn’t help shivering. She knew that she had caused trouble, but looking at the little body that ran faster than a rabbit, she stepped back, wanting to cry but having no tears. Her only helper now was gone.
With a thick skin, Ji Yan smiled flatteringly and looked at him with her big watery eyes. “I didn’t hang up on you on purpose. Please forgive me!”
“Oh.” Shang Jinshen leaned over and approached her. Their breaths alternated. Ji Yan found it hard to breathe. The meaning of his word “oh” was too much, so she made a few turns.
“Yes, yes!” Ji Yan quickly nodded and changed the topic. “What surprise do you want to give me? I really want to know.”
Ji Yan tugged at his sleeve and smiled brightly. Her eyes and brows were curved.
Shang Jinshen glanced at her and straightened his back. He didn’t want to pursue her actions anymore.
“Go abroad for a trip. Choose a place for yourself.”
“Really?” Ji Yan was surprised. She jumped up and put her arms around his neck, rubbing it against his chest. “How many days will it take?”
“Five days.”
This was the longest time he could earn. He had to work overtime and stay up late in the past month to finish all his work in advance before he could get a holiday.
It wasn’t easy at all!
Hearing this, Ji Yan was even happier. She held his face in her arms and kissed him several times in a row, hoping that she could jump into the sky.
Shang Jinshen’s eyes were full of deep love, and his gloomy face was no longer there. In love, he always looked like a madman or a fool. He was happy at times and sad at other times. Everything depended on the person who affected his mood.
He reached out to hold her waist and let her feel excited in his arms. Sure enough, all his hard work was worth it. Even if it was for the smile on her face now, he was willing to pay more, more…
Ji Yan, who was in a state of excitement, was full of joy in every breath. She wanted to… be in the U. S., New York.
What’s more, let’s do it together!
She’s here!
When the excitement was over, Ji Yan thought of a serious problem.
“What about Yan Feng?”
The school that Yan Feng lived in was a large-scale school. The two of them were usually very busy. Sometimes, if they were unable to pick him up, he would stay there, but that was only a small number.
It was obvious that Shang Jinshen didn’t want to bring Yan Feng along this time. He had thought of bringing a third wheel in their world. Wasn’t it because the light wasn’t bright enough?
