Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ji Yan did not want anyone to give Shen Hanxing a room card, nor did he want anyone to look at Shen Hanxing the way Wei Yong did. It was as if a ferocious beast was imprisoned in his heart, ready to break out of its cage at any moment. His eyes were bottomless as if they would swallow the person in front of him at any moment.
“It’s just Xiang Yi. He can’t move me,” Shen Hanxing seemed unaware of Ji Yan’s abnormal behavior. She chuckled, and her slightly cold fingertips landed on Ji Yan’s face. She caressed his jawline lightly. “If Mr. Ji isn’t in the room where this room card opens, it’s no different from rubbish. When will you give me your room card then, Mr. Ji?” She smiled. Her fair arm wrapped around Ji Yan’s neck. She smiled and said, “I’ll be on time. I won’t let Mr. Ji wait too long.”
Ji Yan’s Adam’s apple rolled. Finally, he couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss Shen Hanxing’s red lips. He greedily kissed her. After a long while, he sighed and said, “Madam, you’re playing with fire.”

After a good night’s sleep, when Shen Hanxing woke up the next day, she looked at the empty room and recalled everything that happened after she got drunk. Her face immediately flushed as she thought, “What was wrong with me? Am I insane? I flirted with Ji Yan after I was drunk last night! Will Ji Yan think I had long coveted his beauty and deliberately took advantage of him when I was drunk?”
As soon as she recalled last night, the kisses that made her blush filled Shen Hanxing’s mind, and her heart pounded. It was rare for her to want to hide like an ostrich. Yet she still slowly walked downstairs. Usually, Ji Yan would have gone to work, but now, he was sitting in the dining room eating.
“Are you awake?” Hearing Shen Hanxing’s voice coming downstairs, Ji Yan asked gently, “do you have a headache?”
“No,” Shen Hanxing could feel her face blushing when she saw Ji Yan. She asked, “why are you not at work today?”
“Something distracted my sleep, and I woke up late,” Seeing Shen Hanxing’s uneasiness, Ji Yan asked with a smile, “did you sleep well last night?”
Distraction? What distraction could it be other than the one last night? Shen Hanxing’s cheeks flushed red from Ji Yan’s words. She clenched her chopsticks, unable to eat the delicious breakfast no matter how hard she tried.
“I, I have an exam in two days, so I have to go to school today,” After finishing the breakfast on the table in a hurry, Shen Hanxing pretended to be calm and got up. “Enjoy your meal. I’ll head to school first.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBecause Shen Hanxing was shy, Ji Yan feared teasing her again would anger her. So, he smiled and said, “Don’t rush. Drink the milk.”
Since Ji Yan had said so, it would be obvious if Shen Hanxing was in a hurry to leave. So, she could only sit down again. Fortunately, Ji Yan didn’t mention what happened last night, and she silently felt relief.
Every morning, there were all kinds of luxury cars in front of Si Cheng High School. When Shen Hanxing arrived, many students had just arrived at the school. At this time, a few of her acquaintances were around the school gate.
“Bai Ling, take care of yourself and don’t study too hard. Rest properly,” Mrs. Bai gently reminded Bai Ling, “I made some bird’s nest tonic for you. Drink it when you come back from school.”
“Okay, Mom. I’m not a child anymore,” Bai Ling nodded helplessly. “I know.”
“I know you’re not a child anymore. But when it comes to studying, you’re even worse than a child. You’re so infatuated that you can’t even care about eating or drinking,” Mrs. Bai retorted, “your health is important. Mom wants you to be healthy.” Although there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her mouth, her face revealed a proud smile. How could she not be proud to have given birth to a talented and hardworking daughter? No parent would not be proud of their child’s good grades.
“I know that you are doing this for my good. I will take note of it,” Bai Ling chuckled. She turned to look at Bai Youyou, who was beside Madam Bai. There was a hint of worry in her tone. “Sis, what are you thinking about?”
Bai Youyou had become skinnier than before. She used to be plump and beautiful, and her pretty face had caved in with a hint of arrogance. She looked haggard, and her eyes were gloomy. It seemed that she had not slept well for a long time. Her eyes, which always looked at others arrogantly, were now lifeless. She was like a marionette, unmoved by Bai Ling’s question.
