Chapter 794: We’ve Arrived
It was very dark on the mountain without any lights. Only the flashlight in Ji Yan’s hand illuminated the dark night and a small path. The places not illuminated by the flashlight were dark and the shadows of the trees were like ferocious ghosts. Everywhere they could see was dark, as if wild beasts could appear at any time. The unknown was the most terrifying, so it was no wonder that many people were afraid of the dark.
However, Shen Hanxing looked up at Ji Yan’s tall and strong back. She was not afraid at all. It was not because she was brave or because she was used to the dark. It was because she knew that Ji Yan would never let her be in any danger and would protect her well no matter what. This realization made Shen Hanxing feel at ease and secure.
It turned out that she had unknowingly trusted Ji Yan so much. Shen Hanxing could not help but look up at Ji Yan’s figure. The corners of her lips could not help but curve up into a sweet smile.
Sensing Shen Hanxing’s gaze, Ji Yan clenched his fists and turned around with concern. "My wife, are you afraid?" He felt a little regretful. He had been so focused on giving her a surprise that he had forgotten that there were very few people on this mountain. Most of the natural and pure scenery was still preserved. It was dark and tiring to go up the mountain. Would she be afraid? Would she not be able to walk?
"Are you tired, my wife?" Ji Yan reflected on himself and stopped. "This road is very far. Why don’t I carry you up the mountain?"
"I’m not that weak." Shen Hanxing shook her head in refusal. "I’m capable of beating down several strong men. Why do I look like I can’t even climb a mountain in your eyes, Mr. Ji?"
