Chapter 79 Arranged Marriage
Shen Hanxing subconsciously rubbed her ears. When she realized what Ji Yan had asked her, she made a hand gesture as she said, “I only drank a little.”
She used to drink a lot in the slums, but all she drank was beer. She had never drunk anything like cocktails. So, she did not know that although the fruit wine she drank had a sweet taste, she could easily get drunk. She had drunk many glasses in a row, so it was normal for her to get drunk. She felt herself floating. Ji Yan in front of her had also turned blurry. Shen Hanxing covered her reddened face with a smile, feeling a little funny. She smiled embarrassedly and said, “So I’m drunk. No wonder I feel lightheaded.”
Ji Yan’s eagle-like sharp eyes were on her body. From top to bottom, her hair to her eyes, the tip of her nose to her red lips, filled with the fragrance of wine. His eyes outlined her inch by inch, and he looked like a predator looking at his prey. “Yes, you are indeed drunk.” Shen Hanxing was less vigilant when drunk than when she was awake. She laid lazily on the sofa. Her cheeks were flushed red. She looked charming and naive, as her body exuded an astonishing allure.
The red dress enhanced her beautiful appearance. Her skin was as fair as snow. Her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a fairy from a painting.!!
Ji Yan’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. Not only did he not let go of her hand, but he even turned his wheelchair and moved closer to her. “Am I beautiful?”
Shen Hanxing seemed to have noticed Ji Yan’s gaze. She chuckled. There was no need to dodge. Instead, she placed one hand on his wheelchair and bent over slightly. The smell of alcohol mixed with the cold fragrance on her body, turning into an even more alluring fragrance that filled his nostrils.
At that moment, she lowered her head, the tip of her nose against his, but she refused to close her eyes, staring straight into his pupils. To be honest, Ji Yan was more handsome than all the men she had met. His cheeks were not as sunken as before because he had taken good care of himself. His jawline was smooth, and every single part of him was not perfect.
“Very beautiful.”
Ji Yan’s voice was extremely hoarse. He raised his hand and pulled off the hairpin of her hair. Her long, ink-like hair instantly flowed down, covering her graceful curves, but it did not completely cover them. It was faintly discernible, like a demon that sucked on human essence.
Shen Hanxing chuckled, held Ji Yan’s face, and gently kissed him.
By the time Shen Hanxing appeared in the hall again, the slight tipsiness had dissipated. She tied up her long hair again, and her lips, which had been smeared with lipstick again, were a little swollen.
Alcohol and lust could mislead anyone!
Thinking of all the things she had done through the tipsiness, Shen Hanxing’s ears flushed red. She did not dare to touch those beautiful and delicious cocktails again and only took small sips of orange juice.
“Hanxing.”
Lu Shaoyang was wearing a white suit. He looked like a depressed little prince. He stood two steps away from her and looked at her.
Shen Hanxing frowned. She did not want to see him.
“Hanxing, I’m sorry. I came back late,” Lu Shaoyang’s chest felt stuffy. He had only gone out of town to deal with the company matters. When he returned, he received the news that Shen Hanxing had returned to the country and married into the Ji family.
“It has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to say you’re sorry,” Shen Hanxing looked away and said, “we’ve already settled everything. We had annulled our marriage arrangement when my mother passed away.”
Lu Shaoyang and Shen Hanxing had an arranged marriage when they were still kids. They did it when Shen Hanxing’s mother, Qiao Wei, was pregnant. Qiao Wei had long known that Shen Hanxing’s father, Shen Yong, was unreliable. So she wanted to give Shen Hanxing a guaranteed life. However, not long after her death, the Lu family came to cancel the marriage. Shen Hanxing, who had grown up with Lu Shaoyang, had also been ruthlessly thrown abroad by Shen Yong.
To Lu Shaoyang, Shen Hanxing would always be that fair and cute little sister. Aunt Qiao held his hand and said to him, “Hanxing will be your wife from now on. You have to treat her well, understand?”
Therefore, Lu Shaoyang had always believed that Shen Hanxing was his wife since he was young.
But now…
“Hanxing, I know you hate me, but I…” Lu Shaoyang looked regretful. He had resisted when they annulled the marriage arrangement, but he was so young. A child would never be able to defy his parents.
“Mr. Lu, I think I’ve made it clear that there is no relationship between us,” Shen Hanxing looked at him coldly, “I’m Mrs. Ji now. Your actions will cause me trouble.”
“Hanxing, how did you become so…” Lu Shaoyang did not understand. In his impression, Shen Hanxing was still that fair, cute, and obedient little girl.
“Isn’t it normal for people to change when they grow up?” Shen Hanxing interrupted him without hesitation, “Please step aside.”
