The Crippled Boss Loves Me

811 I Want One Too

Shen Hanxing looked up in the living room and saw Ji Yan entering empty-handed. She asked curiously, “Where’s Qiao Xi?”

“I’m not sure,” Ji Yan answered and sat beside Shen Hanxing. “What are you doing, Mrs. Ji?”

“The bracelet grandma made for me. Does it look good?” Shen Hanxing reached out her hand with a smile. She shook her fair wrist in a show-off manner. A thin red string was tied around her slender wrist, and the lines of the string could be vaguely seen. Her snow-white skin looked even more radiant under the red string. The intense collision of color made her look prettier. There was also a tiny gold pendant on the red string, representing everything that would go as one wished. Grandma’s hands were very skillful, and this bracelet would not look out of place even in a luxury store.

Shen Hanxing was obviously in a good mood. She smiled and said, “The results are coming out soon. Grandma specially made this bracelet for me to get some good luck.” Her cheeks were flushed, and she did not hide the happiness on her face. At this moment, she was like a little girl who her parents had favored. She wanted to show off but was too embarrassed to do so. However, she could not suppress her smile.

“It looks nice!” Ji Yan looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he looked at grandma and said, “Mrs. Ji has a bracelet. What about me? Grandma, don’t be biased.”

“Mr. Ji!” Shen Hanxing shouted in disbelief and stared at Ji Yan with widened eyes. “My grandma only gave me the bracelet because my postgraduate results are coming soon. What about you? Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination too?” Why was this person still snatching her grandma’s favor for her? That was her grandma!

A smile flashed across Ji Yan’s face, but he still looked as if he was being reasonable. “I work all day. Of course, I hope that everything will go smoothly. Are you unwilling to share grandma’s care with me, Mrs. Ji?” Ji Yan’s dark eyes fell on Shen Hanxing’s face, and his voice softened. “Since we can’t tie a string to show we are a couple, a pairing bracelet will do too.”

Shen Hanxing’s face flushed red as she glared at Ji Yan. “Grandma is still here. What nonsense are you talking about?” Ji Yan looked cold and distant on the surface, but how could he say romantic words so easily? Shen Hanxing couldn’t help but feel a little shy in front of her grandma, despite her usual calmness.

Seeing this, the wrinkles on grandma’s face smoothed out, and she couldn’t stop smiling. “Of course, I can make one for Ji Yan too.” She was happier than anyone else to see the couple being so loving. Besides, it didn’t take much effort to make a bracelet. She was also delighted to be able to make something for her grandchildren.

“Grandma has agreed.” Ji Yan pinched Shen Hanxing’s hand lightly and smiled. “Mrs. Ji, you can’t possibly ask me to reject you, right?”

Shen Hanxing glared at Ji Yan. At that moment, Qiao Xi composed herself and walked in. When she entered, she saw Ji Yan’s gentle smile and affectionate eyes. The scene stabbed her heart. She had long known that Ji Yan did not care about her existence, but she still felt a sharp pain when she truly felt the difference in his treatment. The Ji Yan in front of her was cold and noble as if he was far away from her and standing on the clouds. He was an existence that she had never had the right to touch. However, in front of Shen Hanxing, he was willing to fall into the mortal world, embrace the human world, and be tainted with reality. He was ready to become Shen Hanxing’s servant.

Qiao Xi had convinced herself countless times not to be jealous, but when she truly felt the difference, she still couldn’t help but feel a pain in her heart. She couldn’t help but ask herself repeatedly, what was the difference? Was she not pretty enough? Or was it because she had appeared too late? That vague thought lingered in Qiao Xi’s mind, tormenting her repeatedly in her dreams, making it difficult for her to calm down.

“Qiao Xi, what are you doing here?” Ji Ning, who had been watching Sis Chen prepare the ingredients in the kitchen, walked over. She was slightly surprised to see Qiao Xi but happily laughed. “Qiao Xi, when did you come over? Come and take a look at the fish we caught ourselves.”

“I… I’m coming.” Qiao Xi lowered her head in a panic and rubbed her face. Ji Yan’s gaze on Shen Hanxing made her feel like she was on pins and needles. She was afraid someone would see something off, so she quickly changed her shoes, rolled up her sleeves, and followed Ji Ning into the kitchen.

Ji Qian’s surprised and excited cheers could be heard from the kitchen. Grandma’s smile faded a little when she heard the commotion in the kitchen. She sighed silently and patted Shen Hanxing’s hand. She wanted to say something but didn’t know how to start, so she hesitated.
