678 I’ve Made Madam Worry

However, even after hearing Shen Hanxing’s words, Ji Yan still sized her up and down twice, not missing an inch of her skin. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Hanxing was indeed safe and sound. He then felt a little embarrassed. He had always been calm and composed. When would he become flustered and helpless like an unreliable young man just because of someone’s words?

“I’ve made a fool of myself in front of Madam.” Ji Yan met Shen Hanxing’s penetrating gaze and did not hide anything. He helplessly raised his hand and ruffled the top of her head. Shen Hanxing’s hair had just been blown dry, so it was fluffy and smooth. It felt great to the touch. Her bright eyes were smiling as she looked up at him, revealing her beautiful face without any makeup. She was extremely charming.

Ji Yan’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Shen Hanxing’s sweet smile. He could finally confirm that his wife was safe and standing in front of him in one piece. This realization put him in a good mood. A strong impulse surged in his heart. He gestured to the small medicine box in his hand and said hoarsely, “Since Madam is not injured, then I will have to trouble Madam to help me apply the medicine.”

Shen Hanxing was taken aback. She instinctively pulled Ji Yan’s hand over to check. “Mr. Ji is injured? Where is the injury? Is it serious?” The scene was indeed chaotic just now. She had put all her attention on the Lu family and neglected Ji Yan. She thought about how there were sharks in the sea back then, and he was the last one to board the hovercraft. Who knew what kind of injuries he had sustained in the sea? Shen Hanxing was upset and worried. She pursed her lips and said, “I was too careless.”

“Madam, don’t worry. It’s just a small injury.” A faint smile appeared in Ji Yan’s dark eyes. Seeing that Shen Hanxing was really anxious, he quickly comforted her, “I just used too much force and got smacked by the shark’s tail.”

Shen Hanxing ignored Ji Yan’s deliberately relaxed tone and silently pulled him into the room. Seeing Shen Hanxing’s reaction, Ji Yan’s heart was filled with sweetness, but he didn’t really know what to say. “Madam, look, I’m really fine.” He raised his hand. There was a fine wound between his thumb and forefinger that was oozing blood due to the intense paddling. There was also a small bruise on his strong back. It was not serious, so rather than saying that he wanted Shen Hanxing to help him apply the medicine, it was more like Ji Yan was secretly acting coquettishly with Shen Hanxing.

“If I had known that Madam would be so worried, I wouldn’t have teased you.” Ji Yan’s thin lips curled up and he rubbed the corner of Shen Hanxing’s eyes with his fingers. He could not hide the joy in his voice. “It’s my fault for making Madam worry.”

“Mr. Ji is too mischievous.” Sensing Ji Yan’s joy, Shen Hanxing felt a little helpless. It was a good thing that his injuries were not serious. Shen Hanxing did not get angry with Ji Yan over this matter. Instead, she smiled and glared at him. Then, she opened the first aid kit and gently applied the medicine for him. Shen Hanxing’s slender and fair fingers slowly rubbed the small wound on Ji Yan’s hand.

Shen Hanxing had not been so powerful since young. As a girl, she often lost to the older children in the slums and often went home with injuries, so she had long learnt to ignore small cuts and bruises and did not even consider them injuries. However, when these wounds appeared on Ji Yan’s body, she could not help but feel a little heartbroken. In Shen Hanxing’s heart, Ji Yan was supposed to be a high and mighty God who was incomparably noble and enjoyed all the luxury in the world. He shouldn’t have suffered such injuries.

“Mr. Ji, does it hurt?” Shen Hanxing lowered her gaze, her long and curly eyelashes quivering. The emotions in her eyes were almost unconcealable. Her voice was a little dry as she said softly, “If it hurts, tell me. I’ll be gentle.”

“It does hurt a little.” Ji Yan looked at Shen Hanxing, and his cold heart seemed to soften. He couldn’t help but smile and said in a low voice, “I’ve made Madam’s heart ache. It’s my fault.”

Shen Hanxing couldn’t help but look up at Ji Yan. Her eyes met his deep, dark, and cold eyes. There was no coldness in them, but they were filled with deep affection. His eyes were like mellow wine, and one look at them was enough to make one drunk.

Shen Hanxing seemed to have been completely captivated by Ji Yan. She stared blankly at the flawlessly handsome face in front of her. As if she was bewitched, she raised her hand in a daze, wanting to touch his mesmerizing eyes.
