Chapter 65: A Veiled Promise
Chu Feng nodded and turned his gaze to Ji Yan, who had been quietly guarding at the side. The young man was still somewhat uneasy in the face of Ji Yan’s oppressive gaze, but he didn’t shrink back. Instead, he bravely raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yan. He spoke to Ji Yan as Shen Hanxing’s family, "Mr. Ji, Sister Hanxing is a very, very important family member to us. Brother Xiao Yu wishes for Sister Hanxing to live well, more than any of us. If he said anything rude to you, I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against him."
Shen Hanxing was astonished. "What did Xiao Yu say to Ji Yan?"
Only men could clearly see the undercurrents between men.
"Nothing," Ji Yan held Shen Hanxing’s slightly cold palm and gently gestured for her to be at ease. Then, he said to Chu Feng, "I won’t hold it against any of you, you’re all her family. You can come and play often in the future. She’ll be very happy when you come."
Although Ji Yan was sitting in a wheelchair, the temperament of someone who had been in a high position for a long time would not disappear easily. His gaze was so sharp that no one dared to look him in the eye.
Ji Yan’s tone was gentle. Although he didn’t make any promises, Chu Feng knew that this was also a kind of promise. His heart instantly relaxed. "Thank you, Mr. Ji."
The chauffeur drove the car to the front door. The three of them got into the car and left the Ji family home.
"You guys go back first. I’m going to the greenhouse." After seeing them off, Shen Hanxing recalled the disaster-ridden orchid that she had brought back. After the banquet ended, she took the orchid from Elder Zhuang and temporarily stored it in the greenhouse.
As the orchid was not in that terrible condition for long, it looked like it would survive. With Shen Hanxing’s meticulous care during this period, the orchid looked much better now.
Hearing Shen Hanxing mention the greenhouse, Ji Qian also thought of the orchid. She was subconsciously worried. She said nervously, "Sister-in-law, I’ll go with you."
