The Crippled Boss Loves Me



These words would come across as provocative if it were anyone else. However, when Shen Hanxing said them with half her head peeking out of the car and looking at him with sincere eyes, they sounded slightly childish and inoffensive. 

It was only now that Lu Jin realized that this girl, whose intelligence and maturity he had witnessed several times, was actually only in her early twenties. He lowered his eyes and restrained his expression. His sculpted face made him appear a little cold but his expression was visibly gentler. Perhaps it was because he had the blood of a soldier flowing through his veins that he was more tolerant of young people. He thought for a moment before he said, "That will be for the best."

Lu Jin's reaction was a little surprising. Shen Hanxing's eyes widened as she looked at Lu Jin with her head tilted. Poor children had short childhoods. She had to worry about survival at a very young age. In a place like the slums, no one would take extra care of her just because she was young. After she married into the Lu Family, no one cut her any slack just because she was young. In her previous life, she was forced to grow up very quickly. It was only in this life that she was able to show her childish side to Ji Yan and her grandmother. This was the first time someone had given her preferential treatment because of her young age.

It was a novel experience to her. The smile on Shen Hanxing's face widened. The annoyance she felt from Lu Jin's earlier warning had completely dissipated. She felt that if she said anything more, she would be bullying Mr. Lu Jin. Lu Jin was an upright and magnanimous person with strong principles. Shen Hanxing wouldn't bully such a person.

Shen Hanxing stacked her arms on the car window sill and rested her chin on them. She smiled at Lu Jin and said, "Mr. Lu, don't worry. I know what I should and shouldn't do. That day won't come." Her tone was much more sincere this time. Even though she was smiling, she seemed to be making a serious commitment, as if she was promising to never cross the line.

Hence, Lu Jin's expression became even friendlier, his light brown eyes smiling. Ji Yan's face instantly darkened. He clenched his fists and glared coldly at Lu Jin as he said, "Mr. Lu must be busy today. Don't let us hold you back. Goodbye." He quietly stepped aside after saying that.

Shen Hanxing blinked her eyes and looked at the back of the man who had completely blocked her view. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. Her Mr. Ji was indeed a jealous man. Of course, she did not want Ji Yan to be unhappy. Seeing that he was jealous, she simply moved away from the window and sat in the car obediently. Men were sometimes like animals that marked their territory and declared their possession. What could she do? Of course, she would indulge him. 

Lu Jin sensed Ji Yan's hostility, but he was confused. He didn't know how he had offended Ji Yan. In their cooperation to bring down the Lu Corporation, Lu Jin actually admired Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing. Shen Hanxing's moves were ingenious, and she could read people's minds to the extreme. She had almost predicted every move of Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu, which facilitated the complete destruction of Lu Corporation. His cooperation with Ji Yan put him at unprecedented ease. Ji Yan was very efficient, focused, sharp, and did not miss any details. A job that was supposed to take an entire afternoon was completed in just an hour. Ji Yan had completed many things perfectly without his prompting. 

This kind of work experience was so perfect that Lu Jin wanted to go back and smash his stupid subordinates' heads! Lu Jin had decided that he would contact Ji Yan more; he loved working with him. Neither of them was talkative but when they worked well together. Both of them had also express intention to deepen their relationship so why did Ji Yan become hostile to him in just a few words? Although he had said a few words about Shen Hanxing, Ji Yan did not have to be so protective, right? He didn't say anything too harsh!

Lu Jin pursed his lips, his eyes still a little confused. "Please go ahead, President Ji."

Ji Yan gave Lu Jin another cold look before he got into the car. He then rolled up the window to block the view from the outside and said to the driver, "Let's go. You can't even make small talk with Lu Jin!"

Shen Hanxing almost laughed out loud. She looked at Lu Jin's dazed expression outside the window. She felt amused and helpless at the same time. After a pause, she opened the small refrigerator in the car and took out a bottle of iced mineral water. "Mr. Ji, please wait a moment."
