“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you,” Ji Yan was silent for a moment before he held Shen Hanxing’s hand tightly. “I just don’t know how to say it.”
“It’s alright. It’s fine as long as you are alright,” Shen Hanxing smiled and gently planted a kiss on Ji Yan’s cheek. “Alright, Xiao Ning is coming over.”
Ji Ning informed Maestro Lin Ran and happily ran over with the bouquet of roses that Shen Hanxing had given her. With a bright smile on her face, she called out, “Sister-in-law!”
“All you can see is your sister-in-law,” Ji Qian pinched Ji Ning’s cheek. “Can’t you see us?”
“Of course not. I haven’t had the chance to call you guys yet,” Ji Ning stuck out her tongue. She couldn’t suppress the smile on her face. “I’m thrilled today.” She could do what she liked and achieve a certain level of success. Everyone could see and witness her performance. Having her family by her side was something that she didn’t even think about before. She didn’t believe she could be happy, but now she was happy.
“Silly girl,” Shen Hanxing caressed Ji Ning’s hair as she smiled. “Your performance just now was great. Xiao Ning, you are amazing.”
“Really?” Ji Ning’s eyes were wide open. Her cheeks were red, and the smile on her face beamed.
“Of course,” Ji Qian laughed as she hugged Ji Ning. “When has our sister-in-law ever lied to anyone? Xiao Ning, you’re amazing!”
“Sis, great performance!” Ji Mo nodded his head in affirmation. “When you played the violin on stage, you were glowing.”
Ji Ning felt that she was too blissful, so blissful that it wasn’t real. Even so, she didn’t forget to correct Ji Mo. “I’m not glowing. It’s the stage lighting effect.” Lights focused on her body. That was why she looked like she was glowing. But whether it was her glowing or the lighting effect, to Ji Ning, this moment was worth remembering.
“Ji Yan!” The crowd slowly dispersed, and the surroundings gradually became empty. Aria walked over quickly. Her burning gaze landed on Ji Yan. “Daddy invited you to have dinner together.” She paused. Then, she added indignantly, “With Ms. Shen.”
“Sorry, I want to have dinner with my family,” Ji Yan rejected coldly. “Thank you for Mr. Colvin’s good intentions. Next time, I’ll treat Mr. Colvin to a meal if there’s a chance.”
“Ji Yan, are you deliberately avoiding me?” Aria’s eyes reddened again. “I’m just expressing my love. I come from a good background, have good looks, and have no flaws. Why don’t you like me?”
“Miss Aria, Love is the most unreasonable thing in this world,” Ji Yan said indifferently. “Moreover, I don’t think you are any different from other women. In my eyes, other women are nothing like my wife.”
Aria was greatly shocked and staggered.
“No, I will never give up,” Aria bit her lips. Tears rolled in her eyes. “Sooner or later, I will snatch you back!” She would get what she wanted as a noble lady who had always been successful. Aria raised her head arrogantly and said to Shen Hanxing, “Miss Shen, wait. I will be the final winner of this war.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t agree with your war theory,” Shen Hanxing smiled. “Miss Aria, what you want to fight with me is Ji Yan’s love. But if I can only obtain love through snatching, I would rather not have this love. You’re saying such harsh words to me now because you think you’re the loser in this war. You’ve lost from the very beginning.”
Shen Hanxing’s brows relaxed, and there was strong confidence in her. “Miss Aria, there’s an old saying in our country that there is plenty of fish in the sea. I hope you can be more open-minded and not be stubborn.”
“I didn’t lose to you!” Aria was angry and screamed, “Ji Yan will be mine!”
Aria was stubborn!
Ji Qian said unhappily, “You want to be someone else’s mistress, yet you still act righteously. Is this the upbringing of a noble lady?”
Aria glared at Ji Qian. Ji Qian shrugged. “Why are you looking at me like that? Why can’t I criticize since you are planning to do it?”
“Sis, don’t embarrass Mis Aria,” Ji Mo said objectively. “It’s her business to be shameless, but it’s our courtesy to remain silent.”
