Chapter 167: What Are You Looking At, My Wife?
Ji Yan’s return to the Ji Corporation was not concealed and was quickly reported by the tabloids, “Ji Corporation’s CEO, Ji Yan’s legs have recovered. The king has officially returned!”
The attractive headline quickly attracted the readers. The news of Ji Yan standing up and returning to the Ji Corporation spread throughout S City like a pair of wings.
Evening came and the sky was snowing. When Ji Yan reached home, the sky had darkened. His younger siblings were sitting around Shen Hanxing on the sofa and talking noisily. Steaming hot vapor came from the kitchen, and the rich aroma of food wafted over.
Shen Hanxing had only married into the Ji family a few months ago and yet the cold Ji family in the past seemed to have happened in the last century. Now, there were obedient and sensible younger siblings who loved to laugh and make a scene; he now had a bright and generous wife; they also had the fragrance of dinner; the lights at night intertwined and formed the smell of home.
The usually cautious maidservants also had bright smiles on their faces. Ji Yan took a deep breath. The fatigue from his work outside was swept away at this moment. Shen Hanxing had changed into a thin red sweater. She saw Ji Yan standing at the door, so she smiled and waved, “You’re back? Quickly go up and change your clothes. Dinner is almost ready.”
!!
Ji Yan couldn’t help but smile and gave her a reply. He handed his coat to the maid and stood at the door for a while before walking over to Shen Hanxing. He asked gently, “What are you looking at?”
“Sister-in-law is taking us to pick out gifts!” Ji Ning was so excited that her face was red and her eyes were shining. She continued, “We’re going to the orphanage tomorrow to send gifts to the children!”
“Mr. Ji, do you want to go with us?” Shen Hanxing looked at Ji Yan with a smile. “We just wanted to give them a little something for the holidays. I want the children in the orphanage to have a warm winter as well.” As she said that, she handed the list of things she wanted to buy to Ji Yan. On the list, other than down jackets, gloves, and cotton clothes, there were also all kinds of school supplies and food. The list contained everything the children in the orphanage would need.
After Ji Yan finished reading, his heart softened even more. He shook his head and said, “I just returned to the company and have a lot of things to do, so I won’t be going with you.”
Ji Qian, who had been pushed away by Ji Yan from Shen Hanxing’s side, suppressed her voice and cheered. Ji Yan gave her a cold glance in return. Ji Qian harrumphed. It was useless to look at her. With that, her big brother would not be interfering them and they could have their sister-in-law all to themselves! Although the other siblings did not say anything, the unconcealable joy between their brows meant that they shared Ji Qian’s thoughts.
Looking at their snickering faces, Shen Hanxing found it funny inwardly. She shook her head and said, “In that case, Mr. Ji, why don’t you come along next time?”
“Okay,” Ji Yan looked at her with deep eyes and replied in a low voice. Shen Hanxing did not know if she misread him, but she could actually see a sense of grievance and disappointment in Ji Yan’s dark eyes. At the thought of this, Shen Hanxing could not help but be shocked. Why would she have such thoughts? Because she was so shocked, her gaze fell on Ji Yan’s face for a long time without moving.
Ji Yan could not help but curl the corners of his mouth. His hot big palm pressed against Shen Hanxing’s waist, and he closed the distance between the two of them. He asked, “What are you looking at, my wife?” The hot breath sprayed on Shen Hanxing’s ear, burning Shen Hanxing’s face.
At this moment, the maidservant, Auntie Chen, happily carried the plate over. She said, “Madam, the dumplings are ready. It’s time to eat.” After saying that, Auntie Chen glanced around and met Ji Yan’s cold gaze.
Auntie Chen stopped in her tracks. Was the master angry? Why was he suddenly angry? Ever since the madam had married into the Ji family, the master’s temper had improved a lot. It had been a long time since he had lost his temper.
Shen Hanxing, who knew the reason, patted Ji Yan’s arm in amus.e.m.e.nt. Then, she smiled at Auntie Chen to rea.s.sure her. She replied, “Okay, we’ll go over now.”
“Sister-in-law, do you think the children in the orphanage can eat dumplings?” Ji Qian looked particularly excited as she skipped over to the dining table. “It’s a pity that you have been too busy recently, Sister-in-law. Otherwise, we would have been able to go today.”
“No talking while you eat,” Ji Yan looked at Ji Qian unhappily and said coldly, “Eat properly.”
Ji Qian secretly stuck out her tongue. Hmph, she was a magnanimous person. She won’t argue with her older brother who needed to go to work and could not partic.i.p.ate in their family activities.
“Today is a holiday. It’s better to spend it with the family.” Shen Hanxing used the sharing chopsticks and gave each of them a white and fat dumpling. “Happy new year everyone! May all of you have abundance this year and be happy every day.”
“Thank you, Sister-in-law!” Ji Qian was overjoyed. Ji Ning and Ji Mo also glanced at the dumpling in their bowls with a look of appreciation.
