The Crippled Boss Loves Me

Chapter 132 - Eat Well



Chapter 132 Eat Well

The entire Ji family was immersed in relaxation after sending off the guests, except for Ji Mo, who had not slept for the entire night. He tossed and turned. Regret and guilt constantly tearing at his heart. He even wanted to punch himself in the face.

The sky was bright, and Ji Mo was in a dilemma. Finally, he opened the door and walked out. Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing brought Ji Qian and Ji Ning to sit at the dining table. Since Ji Yan was not there yet, no one had eaten their breakfast. Ji Mo noticed this scene. His eyes were wet and red. He opened his mouth but did not make a sound.

After a long while, he cleared his throat and called out in a low voice, “Sister-in-law.” Ji Mo lowered his head and did not dare to look at Shen Hanxing’s expression. Seeing his guilty and timid look, Shen Hanxing sighed in his heart. She replied, “Okay, let’s eat.”

“Yes.” Ji Mo nodded obediently and sat down in his seat. He then greeted the others one by one. Everyone’s attitude was the same as usual, as though nothing had happened yesterday. He should have felt relieved. However, the huge stone in his heart seemed to have become several times heavier, pressing down on him so much that he could not lift his head.

Ji Mo was extremely uneasy. The veins on the back of his hand that was holding the chopsticks bulged. His mouth was slowly filled with unspeakable bitterness as he said, “Sister-in-law…”

His voice was hoarse as he spoke. His eyes were as red as a rabbit’s eyes, and his entire body was so fragile that it seemed as though it would collapse at any moment.

Shen Hanxing could not help but sigh in her heart. She looked up at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I…” Ji Mo’s lips trembled. After a while, he asked softly, “Sister-in-law, can I still drink milk every day?” His nervous gaze fell on Shen Hanxing’s face, as if he was a criminal awaiting trial.

“Sure.” Shen Hanxing lowered her eyes and gave Ji Mo a white and big steamed bun. She said plainly, “Before reaching adulthood, you have to drink it every morning on time. Why? Don’t you want to drink anymore?”

“No!” Ji Mo answered quickly and anxiously, as if he was afraid that Shen Hanxing would regret it if he was a second slower. He couldn’t help but grin, but his tears kept falling. He couldn’t stop himself from crying. “I, I will never get tired of drinking it.”

After saying that, he wiped his eyes hard and said in a choked voice, “Thank you, Sister-in-law!”

“Silly child.” Shen Hanxing still couldn’t bear it. She handed Ji Mo a tissue and sighed, “Eat well. I ask the housekeeper to bring you the milk later.”

“Okay!” Ji Mo nodded his head vigorously.

This was the first time this young man, who was always obedient and sensible, was smiling so foolishly and brilliantly. Ji Qian and Ji Ning looked at each other and then laughed out loud. They kept putting food into Ji Mo’s bowl.

During this period of time, Ji Yan spent more and more time on rehabilitation, and the weather was getting colder and colder. When Shen Hanxing married into the Ji family, it was the end of summer, but now winter was almost here.

The day before the winter solstice, Ji Mei, who had lost her patience, finally couldn’t wait any longer. She sent another invitation to Shen Hanxing to participate in the afternoon tea party of the circle of noblewomen. In name, it was the tea party of the gathering of the noblewomen, her real purpose was to pull strings and find various investment projects for the noblewomen.

Many people who lacked funds but had the idea of making money would bring their own project proposal here to seek investment. This time, Shen Hanxing did not refuse and rushed to the tea party according to the date on the letter.

“Hanxing, it’s not easy to ask you out.” Even if Ji Mei was asking favor from Shen Hanxing, she was still unhappy to be stood up again and again. The moment they met, Ji Mei expressed her dissatisfaction through her words. “I’m asking you out three times. I’m just short of kowtowing nine times before I can ask you out.”

“Forgive me, Auntie. I’ve been too busy recently.” Shen Hanxing pulled back the shawl on her shoulder, she chuckled and said, “I’ve just finished settling the trouble Qianqian caused a while ago. But I did come here as soon as I’m done.”

Regardless of whether what she said was true or not, Ji Mei could only believe what she said. With a smile on her face, she introduced Shen Hanxing to the noblewomen at the tea party one by one.

The noblewomen had been curious about Shen Hanxing for a long time. Now that they heard her mention that Ji Qian had damaged Old Master Zhuang’s orchid some time ago, they couldn’t help but ask, “Mrs. Ji, did you really save Old Master Zhuang’s orchid?”

“I heard that it’s very troublesome to grow that orchid. Mrs. Ji, you’re so amazing. You actually managed to save the orchid. Did you learn this specifically?”

In the face of their curiosity, Shen Hanxing smiled faintly. “I only know a little about orchid cultivation. At least I was lucky enough to live up to my mission.”
