“Aria, that’s enough,” Colvin’s expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, “you’re too rude. Act more like a lady.”

“Daddy!” Aria covered her chest. Her beautiful eyebrows were knitted, and her eyes were full of tears.

“The concert is about to begin, Aria,” Colvin held Aria’s hand, feeling sorry for her, and hugged her. “The concert is not the place to make noise. Aria, sit.”

Aria was silent for a moment before finally obeying her father’s order. Her eyes were slightly red, and she pursed her lips as if angry.

“Ji Yan, enjoy the music feast,” Colvin smiled and said enthusiastically, “It’s been long since we last met. It’s Madam Shen’s first time in F Country. After the concert ends, let’s have a meal together.”

Ji Yan smiled but said nothing.

Today’s main character was Ji Ning, So Ji Yan did not waste much time. He brought Shen Hanxing and Ji Qian to their seats. There was a moment of darkness in the Grand Theater. Ji Yan seemed to have forgotten that he was still holding Shen Hanxing’s hand. He sat calmly in his seat. His posture was straight, and his ten fingers naturally interlocked with Shen Hanxing’s.

Shen Hanxing looked at Ji Yan’s handsome side profile in the dark with a meaningful smile. She said in a gentle voice, “Mr. Ji…”

Ji Yan’s ears flushed red, and he responded softly.

“The Luxen family used to be a top noble in F Country. Their status in country F isn’t low, right?” Shen Hanxing’s voice was gentle. Her words were slow and precise. Shen Hanxing’s red lips were by Ji Yan’s ear because she did not want others to hear their conversation. Her breath assailed Ji Yan’s skin. Ji Yan was aroused as her fragrance enveloped him.

Ji Yan’s lips moved slightly, and his usually rational mind was momentarily empty. When he realized the hidden meaning in Shen Hanxing’s words, his expression changed, and his pupils constricted. Seeing him like this, Shen Hanxing chuckled, and her voice was slightly hoarse. “It seems that I was right.”

After hundreds of years of historical changes, the Luxen family occupied an important position in F Country. Even after the changes of the times, the Luxenfamily was still the colossus of F Country. However, for such a family with such a powerful background, Colvin was respectful to Ji Yan and even showed fear.

Shen Hanxing’s smile deepened, and her fingertips lightly brushed against Ji Yan’s palm. “A life-saving grace? Mr. Ji Yan is mysterious…” When she spoke, her voice was soft and delicate. There was a hint of ridicule in her voice. Just from her voice, one could imagine her sexy appearance.

However, Ji Yan had no time to daydream. His heart was beating very fast, and he pursed her thin lips. “Madam, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It’s…”

“Shh,” A slightly cold finger pressed against Ji Yan’s lips. Shen Hanxing’s smile was like a flower, and her eyes were clear. No one could guess her emotions. Her mind was focused on the stage as if the conversation just now did not happen. She said in a low voice, “The concert has begun. Focus on it.”

The F Country Grand Theater concert was a sacred place in the hearts of countless musicians. The concert was unexpectedly perfect, and Ji Ning’s performance was stunning. It was Ji Ning’s first time performing on stage, but the timid Ji Ning was not afraid. She bravely displayed her charm under everyone’s gaze, like a flower blooming in the morning sun, finally revealing her beauty. Everyone listened like they were intoxicated. Only Ji Yan was uneasy and kept sizing up Shen Hanxing’s expression.

Ji Yan’s presence was powerful, so Shen Hanxing was naturally aware of it. However, she had a smile on her face, as if she did not feel it and did not give him any response. That made Ji Yan even more nervous and made Aria, who had been watching them from the side, look distorted. Jealousy overtook her.

The moment the concert ended, applause thundered.

“Madam,” Ji Yan took the opportunity to grab Shen Hanxing’s hand. The man, who was always cold, was uneasy. “Madam, don’t be angry. I’ll tell you what you want to know.” He would do anything to ease Shen Hanxing’s anger. He could tell her about those dark experiences and that past that he did not want others to know.

“Mr. Ji,” Shen Hanxing sighed helplessly. “If you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to. Everyone has their secrets. I won’t force you to open your heart to me without holding anything back.” Even husband and wife should have privacy.

“If you want to tell me, I’ll be the best listener. If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t be angry,” Shen Hanxing said with a smile. “Mr. Ji, although we’re husband and wife, it doesn’t mean you have to hold nothing back from me. You have the freedom to keep secrets.”
