Chapter 268 - A Bad Premonition
historical
Shen Sisi and Qiao Wei had done something wrong, so when they heard the knock on the door, their faces turned pale. Shen Sisi stammered, “Dad... Daddy... who-who came?”
“What are you panicking for?” Seeing their pale faces, Shen Yong glared at them. He turned his head, but his eyes were filled with joy as he quickly went to open the door. He said, “It’s the guest I invited.”
Guest?
Qiao Wei felt a chill in her heart. She could vaguely guess Shen Yong’s plan, and her entire body turned cold. At this moment, she could not help but ask herself, did she really know Shen Yong? Did she know this man who had shared a bed with her for more than twenty years?
On the other side, Shen Yong opened the door with a smile. He looked at the handsome man in a neat suit outside the door, and a big smile appeared on his face. He said to the guest, “You’ve arrived just in time. Please come in.”
A conflicted expression and hesitation flashed across the man’s face, but it was quickly replaced by determination and a faint sadness. He lowered his eyes and tidied up his sleeves nervously. The man asked, “Has everything been arranged?”
“Everything went well.” The smile on Shen Yong’s face became deeper. Shen Yong warmly invited him in, “Hurry up and come in.”
When the man entered, Shen Sisi opened her eyes wide in disbelief and blurted out, “Lu Shaoyang!”
When Lu Shaoyang heard Shen Sisi’s voice, he casually glanced at her. He did not respond to her, he simply walked toward Shen Hanxing’s room.
“He... he...” Shen Sisi was momentarily speechless and her fingertips trembled slightly.
“Me finding a man like Lu Shaoyang... I guess we could say I did not let her down as her father.” Shen Yong chuckled and poured himself a glass of red wine. He was in a good mood. As he tasted the wine, he said with a smile, “After today, the Ji Corporation will be our family’s backer.” The feeling of being revered by everyone made him unable to stop. When he thought of having the Ji Corporation as his backer in the future, the CEOs of those companies would all support him and look up to him. Shen Yong could not help but laugh loudly.
Shen Yong had installed many cameras in Shen Hanxing’s room. These cameras would record everything that happened in the room without missing anything. When the time came, these images would be used as a threat. As long as Shen Hanxing was sensible, she would listen to him obediently and follow his arrangements. The moment he thought about how the madame of the Ji Corporation would secretly be at his beck and call, Shen Yong was so excited. He drank while humming a tune. He was very comfortable.
On the other side, Lu Shaoyang in the room looked at the person he missed so much lying on the bed. Her sleeping face was quiet and gentle. It was so beautiful that it seemed like a dream.
......
“Hanxing...” Lu Shaoyang looked at Shen Hanxing who was lying on the bed in a daze. He could not help but sit on the side of the bed and gently caress her delicate cheeks with his fingertips. His gaze was gentle and lingering. He murmured, “I can finally get close to you.”
She was sleeping on the bed, and she was so quiet that she was like an angel. She would no longer be cold and distant. She would not even look at him with disgust again. She would no longer say anything that he did not like to hear. She would also not be rude to him and punch him. She would not always think of escaping from him either.
A hint of pain appeared in Lu Shaoyang’s eyes. He asked, “Hanxing, I love you so much. Why are you not willing to accept me? If you weren’t unwilling to accept me, I wouldn’t have gotten to this stage...” his expression twisted for a moment. However, he quickly returned to his elegant appearance. He softly said, “Being with me is better than being with other people, right? In the future, even if I can only be your secret lover, I will stand by your side to protect you and I will always treat you well.”
After saying that, Lu Shaoyang lowered his head and tidied Shen Hanxing’s long hair with a pious expression. Then, he took off his suit jacket.
At the same time, in the Ji Corporation’s office. Ji Yan’s heart suddenly ached. He had a bad feeling. He suddenly raised his hand and said with a cold expression, “The meeting is temporarily suspended. I will be taking a leave first.” After saying that, he quickly got up and walked out. As he walked off, he made a call. The higher-ups in the meeting room looked at each other in shock. Everyone knew that Ji Yan was a working machine. He did not stop working and would not be disturbed by anything. Ever since he took over the Ji Corporation, let alone during meetings, even during his normal work hours, they had never seen him interrupt his work because of anything. But now, he was going to stop the meeting without a reason?
Wang Wen frowned. She looked at Ji Yan’s back and thought for a moment. Then, she stood up and said, “The meeting will be postponed until tomorrow. I will send everyone the latest documents at that time. Let’s call it a day.”
