The Crippled Boss Loves Me

794 We’ve Arrived

It was very dark on the mountain without any lights. Only the flashlight in Ji Yan’s hand illuminated the dark night and a small path. The places not illuminated by the flashlight were dark and the shadows of the trees were like ferocious ghosts. Everywhere they could see was dark, as if wild beasts could appear at any time. The unknown was the most terrifying, so it was no wonder that many people were afraid of the dark.

However, Shen Hanxing looked up at Ji Yan’s tall and strong back. She was not afraid at all. It was not because she was brave or because she was used to the dark. It was because she knew that Ji Yan would never let her be in any danger and would protect her well no matter what. This realization made Shen Hanxing feel at ease and secure.

It turned out that she had unknowingly trusted Ji Yan so much. Shen Hanxing could not help but look up at Ji Yan’s figure. The corners of her lips could not help but curve up into a sweet smile.

Sensing Shen Hanxing’s gaze, Ji Yan clenched his fists and turned around with concern. “My wife, are you afraid?” He felt a little regretful. He had been so focused on giving her a surprise that he had forgotten that there were very few people on this mountain. Most of the natural and pure scenery was still preserved. It was dark and tiring to go up the mountain. Would she be afraid? Would she not be able to walk?

“Are you tired, my wife?” Ji Yan reflected on himself and stopped. “This road is very far. Why don’t I carry you up the mountain?”

“I’m not that weak.” Shen Hanxing shook her head in refusal. “I’m capable of beating down several strong men. Why do I look like I can’t even climb a mountain in your eyes, Mr. Ji?”

Shen Hanxing’s face was slightly red, but she did not look tired. Her big eyes were bright and lively, and her breathing was steady. She did not look tired at all. Ji Yan continued to hold her hand and walked forward. “You’re my treasure. I’m always afraid that I won’t treat you well enough. I want to hold you in my palm so that you won’t suffer even a little.” He didn’t want her to experience the wind and rain. He didn’t want her to experience any difficulties. He didn’t want her to grow up so she could stand behind him and be protected by him. However, at the same time, Ji Yan also knew that Shen Hanxing was not a flower in a greenhouse. She was a plum blossom that stood proudly, a rose that was still full of vitality even after experiencing a fire and could bloom in the dead wood.

“Sometimes, I feel that you’re too capable, my wife. You can solve everything by yourself.” Ji Yan’s voice contained a gentle smile, but it also carried a bit of seriousness. “I hope that you won’t be so strong-willed in front of me and you would be more arrogant and willful sometimes. You don’t have to do anything, and you don’t have to endure anything. Just let me do everything. I want to dote on you.”

When Ji Yan said these words, he did not deliberately create a romantic atmosphere, nor did he try to make Shen Hanxing feel moved. He just walked calmly along the winding mountain path and expressed his thoughts without looking back. It was plain and touching.

Shen Hanxing’s heart seemed to have been hit by something, and it softened instantly. The corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably, and her smile was filled with sweetness. “I know.” She replied softly, “I love you very much too.”

Ji Yan stopped in his tracks and his black eyes were filled with helplessness. “I should be the one to say that I love you very much.” He wasn’t good at expressing his feelings, but he wanted to see her every morning and share the interesting things in life with her every day in the future. He wanted to tell her over and over again that he loved her, to give her a lot of love, without asking for anything in return. He also did not need her to feel grateful or touched.

“Although you didn’t say it, Mr. Ji, I’ve already heard it.” Shen Hanxing tugged at Ji Yan’s palm and shook it like a spoiled child. She continued, “I know. Although you didn’t say it out loud, you have already said that you love me a thousand times in your heart.” Ji Yan loved her, so he took her to heart and treated her gently. That was why he lowered his proud head and became a mortal in front of her. She knew that.

The corners of Ji Yan’s lips curled up even higher, and his entire body felt warm. He and Shen Hanxing, one after the other, had sweet expressions on their faces. After walking for a few more minutes, Ji Yan took her into a small path and pushed aside the lush grass. “We’re here.” With that, he turned off the flashlight in his hand.

Shen Hanxing’s eyes were not used to the sudden darkness. She looked up and could not help but widen her eyes in surprise when she saw the scene in front of her.
