Shen Hanxing’s eyes lit up. “You mean I can negotiate with Lu Feng?” After losing the Lu family’s power, he could only be a manager in a small department. Shen Hanxing doubted Lu Feng was willing to spend the rest of his life like that. From an heir to a mediocre middle-aged man, it didn’t seem like what Lu Feng wanted.
“Thank you for your advice, Mr. Ji,” Shen Hanxing could not help but lift her eyebrows and smile brightly, “but I’m surprised you know so much about a small company like the Lu Corporation.” Her eyes revealed a hint of guile. She knew Ji Yan investigated that because of her. Thinking of Lu Shaoyang almost taking advantage of her that day, Shen Hanxing’s eyes filled with hostility. After she had returned to her country, she rejected Lu Shaoyang’s approach repeatedly. However, this man had been lurking around her. So, it was time for her to show her attitude. She was not a generous person, to begin with.
“I will not allow anyone in this world to hurt you,” Ji Yan’s ears were slightly blushing, but he held Shen Hanxing’s hand calmly. He planted a gentle kiss on the back of her hand, “not only the Lu family but also the Bai family and the Shen family…” He did not continue, but Shen Hanxing could see the murderous gaze in his eyes. He would not let go of anyone who hurt Shen Hanxing.
Understanding the meaning behind Ji Yan’s words, Shen Hanxing felt touched. There was a faint warmth that she could not describe. She could not help but smile brightly. “Then, I will allow you to kiss the back of my hand now, Mr. Knight.” She was proud and mischievous.
It was rare to see Shen Hanxing acting so mischievously. The amusement in Ji Yan’s eyes deepened. He leaned over and kissed the back of her hand devoutly. “Thank you, your majesty, but…” He suddenly stood up and approached her with his tall figure. His solid and slender arms supported her on the chair she was sitting on as if he was embracing her whole body.
This man, who was always noble and gentle in front of Shen Hanxing, tried to show his fangs. Ji Yan laughed softly. “Just kissing the back of my hand is not enough.” His gaze locked onto Shen Hanxing’s red lips. He no longer hid his strong desire to kiss her. He said in a hoarse voice, “Your majesty, I’m going to start asking for my real reward.” His handsome face gradually approached. His entire body was filled with a powerful hormonal aura.
Although Ji Yan’s movements were domineering, his bending movements were slow, leaving enough time for Shen Hanxing to think. It seemed that he would stop his actions as long as she had the slightest movement or expression to stop him.
Shen Hanxing’s cheeks flushed red, but she still looked at Ji Yan with a smile. She did not dodge, so they tacitly exchanged a deep kiss.
After a long time, Shen Hanxing leaned into Ji Yan’s embrace. Her eyes were moist, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked beautiful. She was indescribably seductive. “Shen Sisi might ask Zhuang Li for help. No matter what, Zhuang Li is still the Zhuang family’s second young master…” She hesitated for a moment.
“Old Master Zhuang has been spending a lot of effort in grooming Zhuang Yu,” Ji Yan, on the other hand, was unconcerned. He said plainly, “if nothing goes wrong, the Zhuang corporation has nothing to do with Zhuang Li.”
“He is still a member of the Zhuang family,” Shen Hanxing frowned with some concern, “should we not confront the Zhuang family too soon? Why don’t we postpone the Shen family’s plan for now?”
“Old Master Zhuang is not old and muddle-headed. He will not allow Zhuang Li to do as he pleases,” Sensing Shen Hanxing’s worries, Ji Yan frowned slightly. He explained patiently, “moreover, if he is smart, he will know that there is no benefit in going against the Ji family at this time.”
The Ji Corporation was the biggest beneficiary of this project in the West Development Zone. Now that the business territory of the Ji Corporation had expanded again, it had faintly surpassed the Zhuang family and the Wei family, becoming the leader of the three major powers. It had the intention of taking the lead. Even if they did not intend to expand this time, and if Zhuang Li were the person in charge of the Zhuang family, he would not dare to go all out against the Ji family for the sake of the Shen family. The shareholders of the Zhuang Corporation were not fools. They would not allow Zhuang Li to drag the entire Zhuang family along for the sake of a woman.
“Ji Yan, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. It’s never too late for us to take revenge.” Shen Hanxing did not wish to cause harm to the JI Corporation because of her. She said in a low voice, “don’t you ever…”
