“My luck is indeed not too bad,” Ji Yan nodded. “Of course, I will also cherish and seize this hard-earned luck. I won’t give anyone the chance to s.n.a.t.c.h it away.”

“Tm afraid that there are some things that you cannot seize just because you want it,” Xiao Yu said with a cold glint in his eyes. “The moment you don’t cherish it as much, others who have been pining for it would risk their lives to s.n.a.t.c.h it back from you.”

The so-called luck they were talking about was referring to a certain person.

“There is nothing in this world that can s.n.a.t.c.h away what I want,” Ji Yan’s expression turned cold, and his gentle disguise was completely torn apart. His dark eyes showed a strong paranoia that had never been revealed in front of others. “If anyone dares to s.n.a.t.c.h it away from me, I will make him regret

being bom into this world.”

With that said, he reached out and pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton for the first floor.

As the elevator moved downwards, Xiao Yu’s heart was also sinking, “There are no absolutes in this world.” He could not help but clench his fists. He used all his strength to bury those unspeakable feelings in the deepest part of his heart. “Anyway, you have to treat her well. She…” Xiao Yu breathed deeply

with some difficulty. “She has been through really tough times. She’s clearly suffering, yet she still wants to protect others. Hanxing deserves a better life and deserves a better person.”

No matter how unwilling he was, Xiao Yu had to admit that his own life was a mess. He could not see any hope. Thus, he naturally did not deserve Hanxing.

“Ding.”

The elevator arrived.

The elevator door opened, and the dining table was already filled with sumptuous dishes. Shen Hanxing smiled and waved at the two of them. “Come over quickly. You guys are still slow even after taking the elevator. The dishes are almost cold.”

Ji Yan looked at Shen Hanxing’s smiling face, but his words were directed at Xiao Yu. “She’s beautiful, right? I believe that you are a smart person, Mr. Xiao. I hope you won’t act on your desires and disappoint me.”

After saying that, he nodded slightly. Ji Yan smiled politely at Xiao Yu who was standing behind him. “Mr. Xiao, it’s time to eat. Please take a seat.” Every word and action was very thoughtful and polite. He also displayed the posture and demeanor of the master of the house.

Xiao Yu felt as though there was a gaping hole in his heart and a cold wind whistled past it.1

“Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Ji.” Xiao Yu’s voice was stiff. He raised his feet and walked into the lively dining hall like a robot.

“Come over quickly. I specially asked the kitchen to make your favorite double-cooked pork,” Shen Hanxing smiled and greeted Xiao Yu. She did not notice the covert confrontation between the two men. “The chef is very good at cooking. You will definitely like it.”

The chef immediately humbly denied it.

Shen Hanxing had clearly married into the Ji family not long ago, but she felt as if a lifetime had pa.s.sed. Her life with the Ji family was comfortable. The servants served her wholeheartedly and she was now living very well.

After noticing this, Xiao Yu also had a smile on his face. “Okay, then I’ll definitely eat more.”

“Wow, there’s even my favorite stir-fried meat with green peppers!” Han Yin shouted loudly. “Chu Feng, Chu Feng, there’s also your favorite boiled meat. Look at the amount of meat, you can eat as much as you want. Sister Hanxing, why are you so awesome?!”

At this moment, the front door was pushed open. Ji Yang entered with a fierce expression on his face as if he had gone out to fight with someone.

“Ji Yang, you…” said Ji Qian when her gaze landed on Ji Yang. Her eyes widened. “You, you, you, you… You cut your hair?!”

“It’s just a haircut. Why are you making such a fuss?” Ji Yang glared at her with a rude and irritable att.i.tude.

“Ji Yang, are you crazy? Can’t you speak properly?” Ji Qian stomped her feet in anger. “Why am I making a fuss? It’s all your fault! Why did you suddenly cut your precious hair? Didn’t you say you would never cut it?”

“Ljust wanted to, what do you want to do about it?” Ji Yang was even angrier than her. He said fiercely, “You’re the only one with a mouth that talks nonstop. You’re such a chatterbox.”

“Is that so?” Shen Hanxing had a smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. “Ji Yang, you must be really capable now. Is this your att.i.tude when you talk to your family members?”

Even without his silver hair, Ji Yang’s aura was still strong. Even after he shaved his crew cut and revealed all of his facial features, his aura was stronger than before. He was unruly and obstinate like a lone wolf.

Xiao Yu and the other two couldn’t help but be a little worried.

“Ji Qian talks too much. She’s a little annoying.” Ji Yang, who looked like he was not to be trifled with, pursed his lips into a straight line. He felt wronged. “I was wrong, Sister-in-law. I shouldn’t have said such dirty words.”

As he apologized, he thought, ‘I shouldn’t have gone crazy and cut my hair.. So what if I did cut my hair? Who cares? d.a.m.n it, I must have been possessed!”
