“Ji Mo is right!” Ji Ning nodded vigorously. “Sis, you are right, but it isn’t nice to talk like that.”

“You guys are too much!” Aria’s face was pale. She couldn’t help but shout and run out crying. She looked sad.

“What did we do? By telling her what she did once, is it too much?” Ji Qian looked at Aria’s back in disbelief as she ran away. Righteous indignation filled her. “She is the one who tried to do something shameless like that!”

Hearing Ji Qian’s words, Shen Hanxing looked at Ji Yan with a faint smile. “Mr. Ji, you are popular.”

“Then, you must keep an eye on me and not give others a chance,” Ji Yan smiled as he wrapped his arm around Shen Hanxing’s waist and said gently, “I will also guard you well and not allow anyone to take you away.”

Shen Hanxing looked at Ji Yan thoughtfully and did not say a word. According to the custom, when there was a happy occasion, there would naturally be a feast to celebrate. However, when it was time to pay the bill, the waiter said with a smile, “Sir, Madam, someone has already paid for you.”

Shen Hanxing was stunned. “Who paid for us?”

“It’s the guest at table number six over there,” The waiter smiled and said, “That gentleman said that he paid for your beauty and the coincidence of meeting you again.”

Ji Yan’s gaze turned unfriendly. A man and a woman sat at that table. The man was wearing a flowery shirt with two b.u.t.tons undone on his collar, and his blue eyes were staring at them with interest. The woman next to him was wearing an appropriate white dress. Her long flax-colored hair was tied up, revealing a deep-contoured face. Meeting Ji Yan’s gaze, the two of them smiled. The tall man lifted his wine gla.s.s at Shen Hanxing. After throwing a kiss at her, he drank the wine. The woman also lifted her wine gla.s.s with a smile.

Shen Hanxing was a little surprised. She sized up Ji Yan’s cold expression and asked in a low voice, “Do you know them?”

“Not really,” Ji Yan drank the wine in his gla.s.s in one gulp and said in a low voice, “Madam, there’s no need to pay attention to them.”

The man and woman on the other side did not seem to care about Ji Yan’s coldness. They even smiled and waved at them. However, Ji Yan did not even intend to greet them as he stood up and left.

The purpose of their trip to F Country was to see Ji Ning perform for the first time in her life. After the performance, Ji Ning continued attending other concerts with Maestro Lin Ran. Shen Hanxing and the Ji brothers and sisters boarded the plane to return to their country.

After adapting to the jet lag, Ji Yan continued to work while Shen Hanxing went out to attend the appointment. In a private room in a particular restaurant, Lu Feng was smiling as he drank by himself. Shen Hanxing pushed the door open and entered. When she saw this scene, she could not help but laugh. “Mr. Lu, you seem to be in a good mood?”

“Of course,” Lu Feng smiled as he stood up to welcome Shen Hanxing to her seat. With some emotion, he said, “Two days ago, the Lu Corporation announced a marriage alliance with the Su family. The shares of the Lu Corporation have been rising all the way. Of course, I’m happy.” Although many things had happened during the previous engagement banquet, the engagement represented the union of the two companies. It had suppressed the gossip before, so it was normal for the company’s stock to rise.

“That is indeed good news,” Shen Hanxing poured herself some red wine and raised her gla.s.s at Lu Feng. “Then I should have a drink with Mr. Lu as a celebration.”

The two of them toasted in tacit understanding. After drinking, the two of them ate and adjusted the follow-up plan. At the end of the meal, Lu Feng was a little drunk. His cheeks were blushing, and his eyes were also slightly red. He leaned against the back of his chair and looked at the ceiling. Suddenly, he chuckled. “Mrs. Ji, I wouldn’t have to wait too long, would I? I’ve waited for too long.” He had waited until he was about to be consumed by time and despair. He had waited until he was tormented by hatred and could not fall asleep.

“Of course,” Shen Hanxing lowered her head. “Mr. Lu, it’s not just you. I can’t wait either.”

“I’m glad you came to me that day,” Lu Feng smiled, took out a doc.u.ment, and placed it on the table. His voice was a little soft. “I have nothing to repay. Take this as my grat.i.tude gift.”

Shen Hanxing opened the doc.u.ment and saw the contents. She could not help but ask in surprise, “Are you sure? Mr. Lu, you have to think twice. If you do this, the Lu Corporation will have to do more than change ownership.”

“I am certain about it,” Lu Feng sneered. He poured himself another gla.s.s of red wine. “The Lu Corporation is the thing that Lu Guo values the most. Tell me. How would he feel if he were to personally see the thing he values the most destroyed in an instant?”
