“Okay,” Shen Hanxing said with a faint smile. “I’ll wait for you to fill up the display case in my room.”
The living room was filled with warmth. When the Ji family’s butler saw this scene, he could not help but sigh. Ever since Shen Hanxing was here, the Ji family finally felt at home. The butler turned around and wanted to bring them some drinks. However, when he turned around, he was shocked by the tall figure standing behind him silently. He blurted out, “Sir, when did you come back?”
Shen Hanxing and the others also turned their heads when they heard it. They saw Ji Yan standing at the entrance looking at them. Little did they know how long he had been there.
“Mr. Ji.” Shen Hanxing who was surrounded by the younger siblings, sat on the sofa and gave Ji Yan a gentle smile. With her brows relaxed, she smiled, “Why don’t you come in?”
Ji Yan felt his heart thumping non-stop. The moment Shen Hanxing spoke to him, he felt like a bird returning to its nest, a fallen leaf returning to its roots, and dust returning to the Earth. It was a sense of relief. At this moment, Ji Yan suddenly realized that he had a home. He also understood how precious home was. It was as if what Shen Hanxing said to him was what he had been searching for his entire life.

Ji Yan held back the fluctuations in his eyes and strode into the living room. Under the warm yellow lights of the living room, he left the coldness of the outside world behind him. It was as if all his exhaustion was dissipated when he saw Shen Hanxing’s smile.
“I’m back.” Ji Yan’s voice was gentle. His gaze lingered on Shen Hanxing. “My wife.”
“Big Brother.” Ji Ning was a little shy while facing Ji Yan. She looked at Ji Yan respectfully and fearfully. She carefully placed an exquisitely wrapped gift box in front of Ji Yan and said nervously, “I brought you a gift. I don’t know if you like it…”
A gift for him? Ji Yan raised his eyebrows as he received the gift and opened it. It was a simple and elegant watch. It was his favorite style.
“If you don’t like it, I’ll choose something else next time.” Ji Qian carefully looked at Ji Yan’s expression and said uncertainly, “I think that this watch is very suitable for you. It’s okay if you don’t like it.”
“I like it very much,” Ji Yan replied calmly. Then he raised his wrist and took off the watch that he originally had on his wrist. His watch was expensive and a limited edition. It was much more expensive than the watch that Ji Ning had bought. However, Ji Yan did not hesitate at all. He immediately changed into the new watch.
Ji Ning’s face was flushed with joy. She tilted her head and pursed her lips. “It’s good that you like it.”
The younger brothers and sisters used to be extremely respectful toward Ji Yan. Now, they would habitually bring him gifts after they returned to the house. They would even greet him obediently and exchange a few words with him. It was becoming more and more like a home now.
After dinner, Shen Hanxing sat in her room reading until she heard someone knocking on the door. Ji Yan stood outside the door, holding a cardboard box in his hand. He lowered his head and looked at Shen Hanxing quietly. He was wearing black silk pajamas, which was not as intimidating as when he was wearing a suit. A few strands of hair hung down from his forehead and softened his sharp edges, giving him a warm and homely aura. He was no longer so high and mighty.
Shen Hanxing smiled. She crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame. She looked at Ji Yan with a smile. “Mr. Ji, you’re visiting late at night. Is there something urgent?”
“Won’t you invite me in?” Seeing the craftiness in Shen Hanxing’s eyes, Ji Yan sighed helplessly.
“It’s not good for a man and a woman to be alone, is it?” The smile on Shen Hanxing’s face grew wider. She was wearing suspenders today. Thin shoulder straps hung on her snow-white shoulders. Her exquisite collarbone was dazzling. Her slender neck and beautiful right-angled shoulders were exposed in front of Ji Yan’s eyes. She was like a blooming poppy flower, dangerous and charming. “You came to me at this hour. Are you preparing to stay the night?”
Shen Hanxing’s fair and slender fingers climbed onto Ji Yan’s collar and slowly slid down to his chest. Her smile was like a seductive fox as she dragged out her tone in a teasing manner, her voice was as gentle as a sea monster’s low moan. “This door… if you come in, I won’t let you go.”Her smile was charming and moving. It was so flirtatious that one could not take their eyes off her.
Ji Yan’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. His voice was deep and hoa.r.s.e, and his deep eyes stared at Shen Hanxing. “I’ll listen to Madam’s arrangements.”He said it righteously, but in reality, it was clear that he had some distracting thoughts.
