The Crippled Boss Loves Me

697 The Door to a New World

Seeing Shen Hanxing’s firm attitude, Lu Jin didn’t try to persuade her. He seemed to be just asking casually and didn’t care if he didn’t get the answer he wanted. He took out a golden invitation card from his pocket and pushed it over. With a serious expression, he said, “It’s a small banquet. I’m looking forward to Mrs. Ji’s arrival.” This was the purpose of his personal visit this time.

Shen Hanxing’s heart raced a little, but she did not show it on her face. She took the invitation card and opened it. Her name and the address of the dinner party were written on it, but there was nothing else. Shen Hanxing couldn’t help but tighten her grip on the elegantly designed invitation card. She had a feeling that it wasn’t just an invitation card. On the contrary, a new door was slowly opening up for her. This was an invitation card to a new world, an acknowledgement, waiting for her to join.

The smile on Shen Hanxing’s face widened as she looked at both sides of the invitation letter again and again. She then looked at Lu Jin with her bright eyes and said, “Thank you, Mr. Lu Jin. I’ll definitely be there on time.” She had always been calm and cold, but this happy look revealed a bit of the childishness that belonged to her age.

Lu Jin looked at Shen Hanxing deeply. He didn’t know if the higher-ups’ decision was right or wrong. The girl in front of him was very young, and he really hoped that she could live up to the heavy expectations. Lu Jin didn’t say anything more and quickly got up to leave.

When she heard the sound of a car starting up, Ji Qian heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. “This Mr. Lu Jin’s aura is way too strong. He’s so serious that I don’t even dare to speak loudly.” She wasn’t really afraid. Ji Yan was her big brother and she had long been used to his noble and cold aura. It was just that Lu Jin looked serious and righteous at first glance. He could win people’s trust in times of crisis and make people trust him unconsciously. However, she wouldn’t know how to treat him in normal circumstances and would always be a little restrained. If she was too intimate and unruly, she was afraid of appearing disrespectful. Yet, if she was too serious, that would seem too distant and cold. Ji Qian didn’t like to interact with such people and always felt uncomfortable around them.

“Mr. Lu Jin is a good man.” Ji Ning revealed a sweet smile, and her eyes sparkled with trust. She looked at Ji Qian and said very seriously, “Actually, Mr. Lu Jin isn’t scary at all. He’s not fierce either, so don’t be afraid.” She was very experienced. When she didn’t know them well, she was also very afraid and couldn’t speak when she saw the tall and straight soldiers with serious faces. Later, she realized that these people would hold her awkwardly but gently, take care of her emotions, give her good food, and they brought her out of her misery. From then on, she knew that they were not scary at all. They were especially good. Because of them, she could live a happy and stable life today.

“I’m not afraid, I just feel uncomfortable.” Ji Qian mumbled. Of course, she knew about Ji Ning’s past and her admiration for soldiers. She raised her hand and pinched Ji Ning’s tender and smooth cheeks. Ji Qian smiled and said, “If you’re not afraid, how can I be?” After all, Ji Ning was the most cowardly one in the family!

Not sensing the hidden meaning in Ji Qian’s words, Ji Ning covered her cheeks and giggled foolishly.

Ji Ning was a little angel. The tragic experiences of her early years had left behind indelible memories in her mind, and had a great impact on her character as she grew up. But even so, the suffering couldn’t twist her heart. She had always been like a piece of pure white paper, one that no one could bear to leave a mark on.

“This Mr. Lu Jin is so mysterious. I don’t understand what he’s saying.” Ji Qian leaned over to take a look at the invitation in Shen Hanxing’s hand. After reading the contents of the invitation, she pursed her lips. Wasn’t it written too simply? It was as if nothing was written. Her little face scrunched up into a ball. She looked at Shen Hanxing and asked in confusion, “Sister-in-law, what does this mean? What exactly is Mr. Lu Jin here for today?” Smart people’s words were annoying and confusing, they were too difficult to understand.

“He was here to give me a gift on behalf of your big brother.” Shen Hanxing smiled. She put away the invitation and said gently, “However, I still need to go and get this gift myself.”

“A gift?” The more Ji Qian listened, the more confused she became. If big brother wanted to give sister-in-law a gift, why didn’t he give it himself? And trouble others? Who would invite another handsome guy to give a gift to his wife? Did her brother think that he didn’t have enough love rivals?
