832 Consumed By Jealousy

Shen Hanxing rolled down the car window that Ji Yan had just rolled up and said to Lu Jin, “The weather is very hot. Even if you’re busy, you must take care of your health. Here, have some water to cool down.”

Lu Jin was stunned. He was silent momentarily before taking the bottled water from Shen Hanxing. It had been in the fridge, so the cold bottle felt really nice to the touch on a hot summer day. However, Lu Jin’s heart felt warm. This was not the first time he met Shen Hanxing but he could still feel the strong sense of distance from her. She was extremely polite and distant, keeping a comfortable social distance from others so no one could get close to her. This made her action of giving him water particularly surprising.

“Thank you.” Lu Jin felt that he really couldn’t understand Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan.

Shen Hanxing waved her hand and said nonchalantly, “You’re most welcome.” She was about to say goodbye to Lu Jin when Ji Yan, who was already emitting cold air next to her, reached out and rolled up the car window. “Let’s go.” His face was extremely long.

The car windows were tinted. Lu Jin stood under the scorching sun and held the bottle of water tightly. He quietly watched their car drive away before he chuckled, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a gulp of ice water. The coolness spread through his body from his esophagus. The feeling was indescribably cool and refreshing. After his body cooled down a little, he turned and got into the black car waiting by the side.

After closing the car door, Ji Yan sat quietly in the back seat. His black suit, which was completely creaseless, made his appearance cold and distant. He was also visibly unhappy. His black eyes were fixed on his fingertips on his knees. His aura was so domineering that the chauffeur was so quiet that he did not even dare to sneak a glance at the rearview mirror.

Sensing the awkwardness in the car, Shen Hanxing did not feel afraid. Instead, she found it funny. She pressed a button to raise the privacy screen between the front and back seats.

Ji Yan looked over and asked calmly, “Honey, what are you doing? Do you have something to say to me that you don’t want the chauffeur to hear?” Ji Yan had always been indulgent towards Shen Hanxing. He was afraid that he would say something wrong and make her unhappy. This was the first time he spoke so fiercely. Actually, he wasn’t that fierce and there was a hint of grievance in his eyes. When he spoke like that, not only was he not fierce, but he looked like a dog that had been wronged trying to please its owner. It was heart-melting.

Shen Hanxing chuckled. She rested her forehead on her delicate arm spread out against the car window sill. She looked over elegantly and lazily, her eyes teasing as she said, “I’m not afraid that the chauffeur will hear anything. I’m just afraid that Mr. Ji will be embarrassed.”

Why would he be embarrassed? The grievance in Ji Yan’s eyes grew, and he tightened his hands on his knees. He said in a deep voice, “It’s not like I’m smiling at other men.” She even gave him water. What was so good about Lu Jin?

Shen Hanxing almost burst out laughing. She wrinkled her nose on purpose, took two deep breaths, and asked in confusion, “What’s that smell? Why is it so sour?”

Ji Yan knew that his thoughts were morbid, but his body temperature rose as he fantasized about it. He was the abnormal one.

Ji Yan closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. His expression became even colder, like a snowy mountain that would not melt for ten thousand years. His body tensed up as if he was trying his best to restrain himself, but also as if he was filled with self-loathing. Shen Hanxing, who was just teasing him, began to feel sorry for him when she saw him like this. Even when he was extremely angry, he still chose to restrain himself instead of hurting her. How could she bear to see him unhappy?

Shen Hanxing let out a quiet sigh as Ji Yan felt a weight on his leg. A soft, cotton-like touch surrounded him. Shen Hanxing’s slightly cool skin was pressed against his neck. Ji Yan opened his eyes and was met with Shen Hanxing’s smiling face.

“Is Mr. Ji jealous?” Shen Hanxing lifted Ji Yan’s face with her slender fingers. Her smile was soft and gentle, and her eyes seemed to be mixed with honey. She was so sweet that he could not break free. “Why is Mr. Ji so cute?”
