Chapter 720 - 720 Did You Miss Me?
720 Did You Miss Me?
“Throw it away?” Zhan Cangqiong’s lips curled up, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes. His well-defined fingers gently stroked the handle of the fruit knife, as if he could still feel the remaining heat on it. Then, it was the back of the knife, and the blade. Even if the sharp blade were to cut his skin again, he did not care. He caressed the fruit knife like he was caressing his lover’s skin and said in a soft voice, “No, it shouldn’t be thrown away. It should be kept.”
Shen Sisi’s pupils contracted, but she forced a smile. “What’s there to keep?” What a crazy guy! He actually wanted to keep the weapon that injured him? Besides, he was a clean freak. How could he not despise the fruit knife that Shen Hanxing had used and thrown to the ground?
Zhan Cangqiong didn’t notice Shen Sisi’s mood. With interest in his eyes, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wrapped the fruit knife. Once he had shattered Shen Hanxing’s pride, he would throw the fruit knife in front of her and cut her skin open. That would be a very pleasing sight to the eyes.
Soon, Shen Sisi and Zhan Cangqiong left with their own thoughts. Not long after they left, someone came out from the dark and cleaned up the messy scene. He even wiped the blood clean as if nothing had happened.
It was already close to midnight when the banquet ended. Shen Hanxing was still a little tipsy when the car stopped at the entrance of the Ji Family’s house. The lights in the living room were on, and Ji Yan was sitting on the sofa, reading some documents with his back straight. When he heard the door open, he turned to look at Shen Hanxing. “Madam, you’re back?” He stood up and walked over to Shen Hanxing. In a gentle voice, he asked, “”Are you tired? Do you want to drink something?”
“Mr. Ji.” Shen Hanxing knew that she was a little drunk, but she was not that drunk. Being tipsy was actually very comfortable. She felt as light as a feather, as if she were in the clouds. She knew that she still had her rationality, but under her rationality, there was a little more carefreeness. It was as if she had broken free of her restraints and could do whatever she wanted freely. She kicked off her high heels and lazily rested on Ji Yan’s body. She asked with a smile, “Were you waiting for me? You haven’t seen me for a day, did you miss me?”
Ji Yan’s eyes were filled with helplessness. He was not a talkative person and was used to being reticent. He rarely expressed his emotions, but Shen Hanxing was different. She was not stingy with her affectionate words, and her words often made his ears burn and his heart beat like a drum. Now that she was slightly tipsy, she was even more bold. Not only was she bold, but she was also very straightforward. Her watery eyes stared straight at him, only reflecting his figure. She looked at him, as if she was waiting for his answer.
“Madam is drunk,” Ji Yan could not do anything about Shen Hanxing. He held her waist with his large hands to stop her from swaying. “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
“I’m not uncomfortable. I feel very well, very comfortable!” Shen Hanxing pouted her red lips in dissatisfaction and suddenly stood on her tiptoes to get closer to him. The faint fragrance of her body mixed with the aroma of the wine, becoming charming and long. It surrounded Ji Yan’s entire body and was so intimate.
Shen Hanxing did not seem to notice it. She stared innocently at Ji Yan with her big eyes and dragged out the last syllable, as if she was acting coquettishly. “Mr. Ji, you still haven’t told me if you miss me. Were you waiting for me?”
Ji Yan was silent. He felt a lump in his throat. It was only then that he realized that Shen Hanxing had just turned twenty. She was usually decisive, elegant, and calm, and it was easy for people to overlook her age. There were a few younger brothers and sisters in the family who were older than her, but they were willing to treat her as an elder and blur the boundaries of age. However, at this moment, her eyes could be said to be innocent and naive. With the delicate air of a little girl, she looked at him coquettishly. She was stubborn and headstrong, which gave him a headache, but at the same time, he found her to be very cute.
Ji Yan massaged his temples. It turned out that a drunk Madam was so cute that one could not resist. However, he was very lacking in words and did not know how to say those sweet words. For a moment, he did not know how to start.
“Mr. Ji, why aren’t you saying anything? Did you not miss me?” Shen Hanxing was unhappy. She felt a little dizzy, but she followed her heart and placed her face on Ji Yan’s warm neck, feeling the touch of his skin. She rubbed her face against him, as if she was angry and aggrieved. She muttered, “But I really miss Mr. Ji. The banquet was really long, and those people’s speeches were long and naggy, delaying me from going home to have dinner with Mr. Ji. I miss you so much, but you don’t miss me …?
